The bureau discovered that at the rate the work was being conducted - ducted the funds for the purpose would be exhausted before the end of the year , consequently an order was issued to concentrate work on the jobs 1110St nearly completed and which are likely to soon produce revenue to dis- contin.ue further investigations and to drop work on projects for which contracts have not been let. Lands withdrawn for reclamation - clamation work will be thrown open for settlement , but the government will withhold " all water and reservoir rights. 1'he new order wUl prove disappointing - ing to many settlers who had felt sanguine of irrig-ation im- provements. It will also have a tendency to ease up the labor market , as thousands of men employed on big contracts , actual and prospective , will not have to cngage in other work. "Twenty million unfortunates in Russia aud fourteen million more in China are in danger of starvation . .from famine. In Russia much of the trouble is due to crop losses , and other suffering - ing due to the revolutionists. In China , floods more than any other cause , is responsible for the sufferings of the pe ple. In both countries their sufferings were endured it1' sience ! tjll they be. " came too ternble and the world was' asked for aid. Prosperous America was appealed to and much has been done , but there remains many afl1icted people yet to care for. Nebraska has helped the movement some and should , do more. Louis Klopf is at the 'bead of the relief fund that h being- raised by the Christial1 llerald of , New York City. He is an honest and perfectly reliable lhan , and contributions entruste ( ] to his care will reach the propel destination. The present is not propitiom lor the nomination uf conserva. tive candidates for the presidenc } by either of .the great political organizations. These are , radica : times and the country demands positive character in the White House. No . 'trimmer" will be clected by the people in 1908 1'he man who wins will have tc bave some nch , red blood cours' ' ing through his veins and the people seem determined.to makl President I ooseve1t tackle thl job again. In Indiana the clause in thl constitution which says . that n4 man can twice be placed it jeopardy of his life , has beel construed by the state suprem court to mean that a 111urdef ( cannot be placed on trial agail after a disagreement by the jur ; -such as the Thaw case. 'l'h ruling of the Indiana court of las resort will free 'criminals unles they are 'convicted at the firs trial. 'l'he decision will be great argument in favor of lync law. It is expected that under tIl new law requiring saloonkeepel to print in detail the ingredien1 of the booze they sell , some c the consumers who have n ( become ola soaks , will be l ! anxious tc tackle the combmatie . than formerly when they ha sU'pposed they were getting hig grade whisley instead of an adu terated compound that W . doubly dangerous to their hea1tl - . . - . .

Viewed from the present indication , . it can be put down as a posItive certainty that either Roosevelt era a Roosevelt man will be the selection - tion of the next National Republican - publican convention. The sentiment - ment of the people-a large number - ber being democrats-is of no uncertain character. The opponents - ponents of the president , who call themselves conservatives , might as well accept the situa- tion. 'l'heyare far more likely not to have President Hoosevelt nominated by dropping their antag-onism than by pursuing the policy some of the trust barons and railroad magnates have outlined. President Hoose- velt is honest in his position- that he desires to retire from the preside > 1cy if he can be assur\d I that the successor will carry out his wort-but if he finds that impossible through the opposition - tion of the el1emies of the present , aduHnistration , he can do nothing - ing else than make the race himself-and the people will stand by him in either Instance. . . . - - - Just now the newspapers of the state are chronicling the arrival of new settlers. , There will be more people to help build up the state , more assessable property to bear the burden of taxation and more bright-eyed youngsters to fill the "little sod school house. " The stouthearted settlers come , undaunted by false and libelous r pcirts , to a state that today gives greater agricultural - tural promise that any other state in the west. - . - . With the railroad magnates and the trusts attempting to capture both parties and dictate the nomination of presidential candidates in each party that would be opposed to the Roose- veltian method , the common people of both parties might unite and nominate Roosvelt- and el ct him. , - - - The effort of some democratic leaders to ha\'e the nomination of PresHlent l oosevelt made unanimous is impossible. The prohibitionists and socialists will continue to name martyrs. A bill was introduced into the Wisconsin. legislature to compel hotels to supply guests with cleal1 towels and sheets , bu t it failed to become a la w. A Wise Idea. Underlying the surface of the soil in many portions of Nebraska reposes untold wealth. It may be anywhere from 500 to 5000 feet down , but its there somewhere - where and it may be here in Custer county as well as elsewhere - where , and as no effort has ever been 'made ' to find anything of I value except drinldng water , Ner Hartley of this city proposes r that a company be organized to drill down to at least 3000 feet , or until a gusher of artesian water l is located , if nothing of a richer character is found at a less depth. If gas , oil. coal or ore is not . found in paying quantities , al1 artesian well is pretty sure tc _ result and this would furuish power for a factory , so the effort is certainly worth the trying , Those who may feel an in. terest in such an undertakln should consult Mr. Hartley it regard therdo and the. result 0 : a manifested interest may prove valuable to those who engage l1 the project and also to Brokel Bow. Pertaining to County Assessors. 'l'he Lincoln correspondent 0 the Omaha Bee says that a fac that is not generally known i that county assessors are to b elected this fail in every count , in the state. When the biennia elections laws were enacted tw years ago , among other terms 0 county officers extended was tha ie of the county assessor , which wa lengthened one year. 'this woul make the selection of these oru cers occur 111 1908. All o-th biennial election la ws , excel : is this one , were knocked out bv tlJ - In supreme court , and this one w Id not tested. The recent legish ' 11 ture , ' owever , enacted a la' I- which requ res the assessors 1 IS be elected this fall. 'l'his meat :1. : that after the November electic th ( : State board of Assessmel re will not only have to schol r- ninety new assessors in the prl ; y visions of the law , out l he secrl 11tary will also have to instru d. the new assessors regarding t1 w handling of property under t1 d terms of the terminal tax lav us This new law will have to 1 d. tested first by assessors who ha' to had no experience in this line' I es work , as the county assessor not eligible for re-election.
