HI OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER ,

H [ ! I I II
B It will be well for us to under-
B stand that the laws of Nebraskc
U must be enforced with such vigoi
1 and impartiality as to positively
B land forever discourage the idee
B that stealing from the state by any
B one is a virtue and not a vice.
B The Nebraska maximum freight
B r&te case has been decided by the
H | United States supreme court to be
B invalid. The court holds that the
B law is contrary to the Fourteenth
H | amendment , and that the rate prac-
B tically amounts to confiscation of
B property. The decision does not
Bj affect the right of the state to
H make such freight rates , but limB -
B its the state to a reasonable rate ,
B and so the question ib still open as
B to what is a reasonable rate.
Bj The difference between the situ-
Bi ation in Spain and in the United
Bi States is illustrated by two inci-
Bj dents. Spain has been for some
Bj weeks and months trying to place
i a loan of $40,000,000. The other
Bj day the house of representatives in
Bj the United States , without more
B ! ado than would be given to the
Bi passage of an ordinary appropriation -
; tion bill , put § 50,000,000 in .the
Bj hands of the president to expend
H as his judgment directs for naB -
| B tional defense.
H Extension of the homestead
Bl land laws to Alaska is no joke.
BJ The southern part of the territory.
B is in the same latitude as Scotland ,
Bj central Kuesia and northern Ger-
H many , and good wheat is grown in
Bj the valley of the Mackenzie river
BB farther north than the southern
Bj limit of Alaska. It has been de-
Bi monBtrated that potatoes can be
B grown along the rivers leading into
B the Pacific ocean and vegetables of
B many kinds can be ripened in the
B valley of the Yukon. It has been
B the history of the world that the
B farmer follows close after the ' miner
B wherever he may lead. Bee.
B Lieut. C. H. McLillan of the
H United States Eevenue Marine ,
B now on duty as inspector of the
B life saving station service on the
B New Jersey coast , has been orB -
B dered to Omaha to superintend
B an exhibit of the life-saving serB -
B vice at the Trans-Mississippi Ex-
B position. A model station will be
H built on the bank of the Grand
B Canal , where boats , life lines , ham-
B mock's , rockets , and other appara-
B tus for saving life on the water
H will be kept , and daily drills in the
B use of the same given by the men.
H The station will have a keeper and
B six men. A novel feature never
B before exhibited at any exposition
H will be the use of the telephone ,
m by the aid of which vessels at sea ,
B within signal distance of a life-
H saving station , if in distress , can
B send messages by the international
M code to the nearest station , and in
H turn the station can send it by tel-
m ephone to a telegraph office.

Thnrsday , March 10th , was the
starting day for the Danbury
Creamery Conpauy , which was organized -
ganized some few weeks ago. Ow
ing to the stormy weather thai
prevailed , many did not get tc
bring in their milk that day , bui
nevertheless 1,200 pounds wag
tested , which gave good , profita
ble satisfaction to the producer.
The company is now paying
about 17 cents per pound for but
ter fat , which is at present nearly
twice as much as the farmers get
for their butter -with the merchant
in trade , an $ at this rate per
pound , at the end of each month
will be of some value to him.

Cedar Bluffs.
J. H. Kelph and family were
visiting with E. B. Nelson and
family , Sunday.
Harvey Nelson and Earl Belph
of this district , are attending the
spring term in district 35.
Harve Rowland , a former resi
dent of this precinct , is expected
here this week with his family
from Ohio.
A. V. Olmstead and family , who
have been temporarily residing on
H. I. Peterson's place , moved back
on the old homestead last week.
Nearly everyone is busy seed
ing. The weather being perfect and
the ground in fine shape , a large
acreage will be sown in this vicin
ity.
Sidney Dodge and Mrs. John
Goodenberger of Gerver were
quite sick last week with pneumo
nia , but at this writing are much
better.
T. A. Bowland has evidently re
covered from the Klondicitis , as
he has bought a farm just across
the line in Decatur county , and
expects to move there soon.
It is cheering to learn that we
are not likely to become involved
in complications with England as
a result of Canadian invasion of
Alaskanterritory. . The British
Ambassador has informed the
President that all our rights shall
be respected , and all causes of ,
friction removed. An Alaskan
dispute just at present would be a
calamity , and particularly so in
view of the fact that the army and
navy clothing now being manu
factured is adapted for the tropical
rather than for the arctic regions. ,
Any owner of a first-class cruiser ]
or battle-ship is in luck just now. ;
He won't have to advertise to find
bidders. Playthings of that sort .
are in demand. The indications
are that somebody will get hurt
yet , when the mouths stop shooting ]
off and the big guns begin to i
talk. ]
