: , The bill introduced by Senator
i , Dietrich , for leasing the San d

" ; of twenty sections 1S meeting I .
' i , with considerable opposition by
\ I owners of large herds as well as
I by parties in the astern part of
I

I , I
the sand hills except in a general
wa ) ' .
! ' . : The ac on of the legislature
\ in voting to make no appropria-
tiuns for state or new buildings
! , I of the state until a revenue Jaw
\ is passed to provide for equal
:1 : taxation , practically assures t ha t
a new revenue law will be passed
\ . at this session at an early date.
1 That is a step in the right direc-
1 : . tion.
' i Those interested in building an
' ' Educational Center in Broken
: ' , Bow should use their it1fluence
, . to see that the Fowler Normal
j i . School Bill now before the legislature -
lature is passed. Broken Bow
! may not get the school but the
, i p ] < ; 1n is a good one and the school
is needed in the central west.
The bill should become a law at. .
, this session.

Sixty mill ion dollars was dd-
c to the savings of depositors in
the savings banks of New York
City alone in 1902. A large part I
of this was the surplus earnings
of so-called workingmen. Never
before in our history have the
laborers of the metropolis made
so much money aud nevcr before
have they been able to save so
much. In spite of the increased
cost some necessities constant
employment at high wages has
enabled them to live better and
still have more money to lay
aside for a rainy day than ever
before. And happily for all this
condition seems likely to continue -
tinue indefinitely , or as long as
our present excellent tariff is left
aloue. 'l'here is no better argument -
ment for prote tion than these
figures of the savings of the I
.
masses , not only in New York ,
but all over the country.-Amcri-
can Economist.

Bradstreet's annual review confirms -
firms all that has been said from
time to time about the prosperity
of the country. It has been a record -
cord breaking year in production
and consumption. Exports alone
3how a decrease , and that falling
off is due to the cnormousl.v increased -
creased demand at home for products -
ducts formerly sold abroad. Imports -
ports have made a new high-
water mark for the same reason.
Business failures have been fewet
and for a less aggregate amount
than dunng years when the pop'
ulation of the country was mud :
smaller. And now at the end oj
the year the end of this state oj
things is not in sight. Currency
difl culties and other untowanl :
circumstances that in ordina ' )
times cause misgivings have7beet
overriden during this year witI :
hardly a tremor of apprehension ,
Public confidence is always r
factor in business and it hm
such good reason at present thai
it is not shaken by trifles. Pos
sibly next year will show no in
crease over this , but it is prettJ
sure to keep up at the same pace

, A publ c , mee ingv.as \ .held in
the court'hou e i\lo'od.ay nigHt to
consider the \'isabili ty bf c l1-
ing an election to vote bonds for
the purchase of the water'works. .
The questions of the value of the
works , the feasibility of buying
them , and of annulling the franchise -
chise and building a new
plant were freely discussed by
a number participating. The
situation seems to be that the
water works are to be sale by the
order of the U. S. Circuit Court
on the 18 of FebruarJ. and in
case they are bought in th original -
iginal franchise given by the
city , which provides for paying'
seven mills on the assessed \'alua-
tion of the city for hydrant rental -
al will hol < 1 good to the new
purchaser. 'rhe present assessed
valuation is approximately $142-
000. On this valuation the seven
milllc\'y pays a hydrant rental of
nearly S1000 annually. In 'case'
the property is assessed at a fair
cash value it will bring the total
up to $400,000 or $600,000. On
this assessed valuation the hydrant -
drant rental will amount to $3000
or $40JO a year.
'l'he plant in all probability ,
can be purchased at the sale for
S14OOO. The question finally
settled down to buying the present -
ent plant or building a new ont'
fire protection.
The question of putting in an
electric light plant in connection
"as abe discussed pro and can ,
but no definite conclusion was
reached on that point.
The motion to authorize the
ci ty couucil to call a special election -
tion for the purpose of voting
bonds to the full limit of the law
was finally carried without a de-
senting vote. As the meeting
was largely attended , the' vote
I indicates that , the general opinion -
ion prevails that something
should be done to put a stop to
,
the perpetual drain on the tax
payers.

Every farmer knows , of course , i
that one of the worst mistakes he
can make is to plant poor seed ,
but ever ) " farmer does not know
the difference betwe n the very I
best seed and that which is not
so good. Poor seed is a bad investment -
vestment , because if it males a
difference of only a few bushels to
the acre it is a loss of many dol-
lass. Some of the most interesting -
ing experiments of recent years
has been the work of breeding
better seed and improving it , just
the same as livestock has been
improved by intelligent breeding.
The Twentieth Century Farmer -
er is publishing a most interesting -
ing series of articles by Thomas
L. Lyon of the Nebraska Agricultural -
cultural Experiment ( station on
breedi11g wheat and corn. These
and other articles along the same
line should be carefully studied
by every farmer who uses his
brains in making his farming
pay.
