The Fourth of July Boosters mot.
with cordial receptions nt Mlverton
and Guide Hock iiuil both of those
cities wurmly welcomed our club
The club took along our baud which
was the delight of all. While our
chautauqua advertised the real reason
for the trip was to bhow our sisters
that we weie with them lu t licit cele
bration and if we eould add a little to
their programs we were more than
pleased to do so.
The Superior Daily Express Is forg
ing ahead these days. It has secured
the associated press reports and lias
the name use of the wires as the trig
papers in the large cities Such enter
prise an this is to be commended.
We notice by the report of the secre
tary of the board of education that
there is now in the district funds
9330.10. This is 11 Rood showing and
Indicates that tltere is no cause to
worry about not having enough money
to run our schools
Our school district now has a prop
erty valuation or fifty live thousand
dollars uud there is an outstanding in
debtedness of twenty eight thousand
dollars and counting the money ou
hand this district is worth net thirty
thousand dollars.
We notice by the exchanges that
there will be a state tennis tournament
held at Norfolk this mouth which
leads us to suggest that a Republican
valley tournament be held here. The
new grounds will soon bo ready and
this will give the playeit four good
courts.
Warl War! Investigative people
have arrived at the conclusion that
wheuever the birth of boys exceeded
the birth of girls in u country It was a
slgu that a war was on the calander
as aoou us those, boys reached man
hood. Now there were five boys born
in this city Sunday night and Monday
morning uud not a single girl and we
may now look for trouble, What was
Mr. Sherman said war has?
We agree with the Commercial Ad
vertiser as to the advislbllity of secur
ing a lease, ou the base ball ground for
a term of years for the benctlt of base
ball clubs surrounding this city.
Guide llock and Inavale and Rlverton
would doubtless wish to use the
grounds here several times during the
season. We do uot need tq, have an
expensive league team to have plenty
of good ball games and it seems to the
Chief that there ought to be two or
three games of ball here every week.
The liual arrangemetitsure now com
pleted for our unusual Chautnuqiia
and the management fully expects to
be a record breaker so far as excellence
of the program ia concerned All in
dlcutioiis are that this will be the
Invest, in point of attendance also
Anyone that carefully looks over the
program will be convinced that we
have something, really worth while
tills year. For those who like lectures
there is enough to satisfy the most ex
acting, those who enjoy music will ue
given a rare treat since there are a
number of famous musicians who will
be with us, and those who desired to
be entertained will ilnd that the very
best will be given them. Altogether
this Chautauqua is a well balanced
affair and there will be something for
all.
The day used to bo that whe,n u
young man hud a new top buggy he
was 11 solid Muldoou with all the girls,
but it takes an auto now to mow a wide
swath. Any young man who lias an
auto has mi trouble lu getting plenty
of the fair ones to go riding with him.
We are told that some machines can
be driven with one hand with perfect
safety. They are iinpinviug the ma
chines every day. It used to he wlipn
the machines llrsl came out the man
that drove them thought that it was
on here and there ought to be a factory
installed that will tako care of the
products that uie so easily raised.
Strlckly speaking the culture of toma
toes for instniica is not to be called
truck gardening but it is considered a
side issue and not a staple. Now wc
all know that tomatoes do exceedingly
well in this locality and it is our tirm
conviction that, a canning factory
would lip an immediate success if in
stalled lieie.
A factory of this kind could be

absolutely necessary that lie hold onto operated with 11 limited amount of

didn't even dare to take one hand from

but had to keep both eyes straight

the iiiaohiuc t truck the city have the
workers been lonesome. They have
' had company to their hearts content.
This machine does the work of slxtv
men and so far it has not uttered a
cross word.
The large alfalfa crop this year
again emphasizes the necessity of in
stalling an alfalfa mill in this city.
It has beeu demonstrated that by
grinding the alfalfa into meal every
particle of nourishment of the food is
readily accessible Mid that us a fat
producer the ground product is far
ahead of the hay in Its natural state.
The alfalfa can he ground up, sacked
and stored away so that there is no
loss from severe rains or .storms. This
industry lias passed the experimental
stage and needs no argument to show
thai it is a paying investment, There
is capital enough lu thin city to equip
a tlrst-chiss plant of tills character and
tlio enterprise would meet with instants
success. There is n growing demand
for tills product and the sooner it is
met the better.
hi view of the fact that politics are
of an unusual character this fall, we
have concluded to offer two columns
of the Chief to republicans who desire
to advocato their views. Our plan is
to permit the organizations of the two
republican faction, supposing there
will bf two, an equal opportunity iu
these columns to gut their claims be
fore the republican readeis of the
Chief. Of course, the Chief will iut
be responsible for anything that may
appear in those. columns, and reserve sumer,
the right to reply to the erroueiis con
clusions which tho writers may draw
and correct any mis-statements nf
fact. Until the several factions per
fect their organizations, so that we
may deal with them otllclally we shall
leave it to the writers themselves, re
serving tho right to reject anv article
which may seem to us unsuitable for
our paper. In this s-ne, Mr. .las.
(illham attempts to answer Senator
Cumiuings latest utterance. It is
needless to say that the Chief does uot
take sides in tills republican family
quarrel. Even without the domestic
broil on tho part of our opponents, the
democrats under Wilson are sure of
victory. Wc have had our house clean
ing, and Mr. Bryan has proved to bo a
very cllleient practitioner of domestic
science, The democratic party has
no dirty linen to exponse to a curious
public
capital and by making arrangements
with the farmers to plant an acre or
more of the plants before the season
started, the institution would be as
sured of plenty to do. It seems para
doxical that for the greater part of the
year the people in an agricultural dis
trict should depend upon cauned goods
that are put up by other communities
ami shipped in here. The amount of
canned goods consumed in Webster
county would total up to a very large
sum and if the institution saved the
freight in addition to the regular pro
fit its position would be assured.
Tomatoes are uot the only vegetables
that would pay altho they might he
the main product. Apples arc always
in demand and of late years our apple
crop has been quite large and usually
the summer crop goes neggmg simply
because it is peristiauie. isow witli a
canning factory these apples could all
be saved and they would represent a
pro tit to the grower, the manufactory
and a reduction iu price to the con-
To a less extent tho peach.
-plum uud cherry crop could also bo
utilized
If private capital can not be induced
to take up this enterprise it would be
an easy matter to organize a co oper
ative compuny among the farmers and
in this manner they would realize all
the proilt themselves besides making
a market for an important article of
commerce.
The advantage to the city and coun
ty would be considerable because of
the employment of labor and the sav
ing of money. Agriculture is always
benefited by having manufactories
close at hand. The two go together
ami are mutually dependent. It would
give the Chief much pleasure to have
such a factory In operation by the
time tho next season rolls around.
