RED WILLOW , NEB.
EDITOII MCCOOK TRIBUNE :
There was quite an exciting
time at Red Willow school house
on the evening of the 19th. I was
on my way to influence voters
towards locating the county sea
at Red * Willow as being practically
in the center of the county , when ,
to my astonishment , I found a
crowd of people collected at the
school Jiouse. I stopped in to
learn the cause and found Com
rade LeHew and Mr. Moore , of
McCook , expressing their views
and expatiating on the advantages
that McCook possesses over Indi-
anoia or lied. Willow tor the locat
ion of the county seat. I listened
tfco ihe speeches and the goneious
offers made by McCook , and after
considering her many advantages ,
and thinking over the matter very
carefully , I am now willing to
withdraw from the fight for Red
Willow as I see very little reason
to oppose so fair an offer. I am
also willing to bear my share of
taxes towards the building of a
r > rmrf linncp if t.h vr IIA rmv
Some of the old time calamity
howlers were nfc this meeting , and
talked just ns they did when we
ttvied to vote bonds to build this
same Eed AVillow school house
where the meeting was held on
July 19th. The howl then was ,
"we are not able. " Some were in
Savor of a sod house , others wished
ito build a house half as large as
5the present building , but some of
us were in favor of bonding and
building a reasonable house. We
carried our point and built a house
h 21x37 which we thought would be
large enough during our life time ,
but we are already crowded , hav
ing forty-nine pupils of school
age in the district. These bonds
are all paid , the district is out of
.debt and some money on hands.
.Now these same howlers are proud
tof their school house. Some people
ple are content to live forever in
sod houses and dirt floors for that
as the height of their ambition ,
but it doesn't pay to wait for them.
They will always block the wheels
of progress if allowed. I say if
we build a court house let us build
one large enough and handsome
enough to be a credit to us. There
are no ilies on Eed "Willow as an
-agricultural county. If we vote
bonds , the interest on these bonds
would not hurt us , and in twenty
years the trebled population will
find no difficulty in paying for
them.
them.We
We are proud of McCook already
.and point her out to strangers as a
.division station of over three thou
sand inhabitants , and a regular
hummer in a business wa } . We
never tire of expatiating on the ad
vantages which McCook , as a divi-
.sion station and distributing center ,
possesses not only for herself , but
for the county. So I say boom
McCook by giving her the county
seat and she will make a hummer
for which every land seeker will
.steer. They will imagine them
selves back in Ohio or Illinois.
They will stand in amazement to
see a city so young , yet so energet
ic and great.
What impression will the little
town of Indianola have upon
.strangers ? They look for the court
.house and fail to find it , meet a
.a boy , who points to the structure
but they are incredulous , as it
only resembles a residence.
Then they tackle a farmer , who
is lounging about , pass the time of
day and enquire the price of land ,
lie"tells them land is worth § 5 to
10 per acre , and he has rather a
discouraged air as he informs
them that Indianola has been the
county-seat for 20 years.
The laud seekers conclude to
take the next train east without
looking at any land. They in
form Mr. Farmer that they have
wanderd too far west and will get
Jback to Hastings or Holdrege ,
which are more progressive look
ing. At McGook , on the contrary ,
the land seeker would glance at
Ahe silver dome on the court house
of which Indisnola has talked so
much about , but never built He
would take a look at her business
men and size them up as jolly ,
shrewd , looking prosperous fellows ,
he would notice the immense
stocks of goods which they
carry , and at once conclude
that this must be a good country ,
he would ask how old McCook is ,
and the price of land , and when
he hears that the , . % town is less .
than ICtyears-blt ! , and land from
$10 to $50 per acre according to
Jthe location , he would at once-eon-
elude fliat we fiavo an enterprising
intelligent population , and a pros
perous country , and would stay
until hegot a farm , if it took all
summer.
