ing the chutes an engine tender can be
filled as easr as to take water. Thus
doing away with the tedious handling of
coal in buckets which now prevails. Part
of the material for the foundation has
come and new material is coming most
every day. It is expected that worlcwill
be commenced in the near future and
that there will be work enough to keep
a large gang of men at work several
weeks. When this is completed the
present unsightly coal sheds will be torn
down and the danger of that crossing
will be abated Holdrege Citizen-Forum.

I THE BEAVER VALLEY.
A View of the Orleans-St. Francis Country
as it Appears July 20th.
Atwood , Kansas , July 21 , 1897 ( Spe-
to The McCook Tribune. ) From Or
leans to Atwood and beyond , a stretch of
about 100 miles , is the area of the wheat
belt that is harvested and will add its
quota to the coming prosperity of this
section.
Along the pathway of the Burlington
as one looks on either side of the bands of
steel is a panorama of agricultural beauty ,
the golden sheaves dot the stubble fields
and the cone-shaped stacks loom up near
and far as harbingers of better times.
Thousands of acres of purpling alfalfa
blooming in the mid-summer sun , each
blosom a perfect cup of fragrance scents
the air and the rustling blades of dark
green corn with its silk and tassel making
one vast emerald sen till lost to view.
The panorama presented before us pain
ted in all the hues of the rainbow amber ,
gold , green , red and royal purple , with
the darksome sheen of the serpentine
groves that fringe the Beaver , is a pic
ture that awakens the lover of nature.
The liyht of better times shines through
out the valley of the Beaver and the
gloom of other days enl } ' remains as a
memory.
Here on the 20th of July , approaching
the goal of completement of general crops
corn is nearing the harbor of security ,
and with another good rain like that of
the 19th inst. , the king of grain will
pass sister wheat , whose victory is already
achieved.
Wheat has won laurels in the Orleans
and St. Francis country. In Decatur and
Rawlins counties it will equal or surpass
yearof 1S92 , and from Danbury to Orleans
equal that of 1891. Mr. Underwood of
Danbury has 160 acreson which stands4i
stacks 10 feet wide and the estimated
yield is 25 bushels per acre or 4,000
bushels.
There is much w'heat that will surpass
this and reach the 35 bushel mark. At
Herndon , Kansas , between 30 and 40
harvesters have been sold , this season ,
and more binding twine than at any
point on the Kansas part of the Burling
ton. There will be much wheat shipped
from Herndon , Atwood , Cedar Bluffs ,
Oberlin and points along Hastings and
Oberlin line of the B. & M. It is rumored
that Traer , which has long been a closed
station will be opened this autumn. The
elevator companies are preparing their
granaries for the big wheat crop and
there will not be an idle elevator along
the Beaver. Ricks of alfalfa dot the
meadows of the Beaver waiting to feed
the bovine herds , more than this country
has ever fed before since the da3'S of the
cow-boy period , when the kine roved at
will , twenty or thirty years ago.
With plenty of alfalfa and promising
prospects for corn the stock shipments
will surpass no doubt any year since the
road was built up the Beaver valle- .
With wheat assured the prospects of
better times is being felt. The pulse of
public confidence beats more confidently
and the arteries of trade flow more
regularly. The largest lumber yard of the
line is being finished at Danbury , Ne
braska , and is equipped with spacious
sheds and buildings. The Standard Oil
company has established a supply depot
at Beaver City for the adjacent country
and many marks of coming prosperity
are observed along the line of the Or
leans and St. Francis.
W. L. Krauter went up to Denver on a
short visit , last night.
Switchman F. E. Kidder has been
laid up with a sprained back.
No. 2 consisted of two sections , Sundaj'
on account of returning Endeavorers.
L. W. Stayner of Train-master Ken-
3'on's office was an Edgar pilgrim , Thurs-
daj * .
Switchman J. R. Mowbray of Lincoln
had his thumb smashed Monda- -
, Mondatrjing
to lift a draw-bar.
Conductor and Mrs. C. J. Snell are
looking after the welfare of a daughter ,
born on Saturday last.
Alden P Ely is offduty with an injured
arm. A fellow-workman let a rod fall on
his right arm , Thursday morning.
Brakeman Will McCarl had the thumb i
of his right hand badly smashed between
two freight cars at Minden , Wednesday
night , while making a coupling.
A feeling against the long ruus is developing -
veloping among the locomotive engineers -
neers , which may lead to a change. Notwithstanding -
withstanding the long rests at the termi
nals , the strain in making the runs is
very trying on the nervous system of the
engineer , and it is believed that , while
the practice of long runs for locomotives
may prove popular , long runs for train
crews will not meet with the approbation
of the engineers. Kansas City Star.
