NINETEENTH YEAR. McCOOKRED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING , DECEMBER 21 , 19OO : NUMBER 32
Report of the Chicken Show.
The fourth annual exhibition of the
Republican Valley District Poultry asso
ciation , held at McCook , Nebraska , Dec.
.5 , 6 , 7 and 8,1900 , was , taking every
thing into consideration , on unqualified
success.
The management was unfortunate in
not being able to secure a Luildimr more
favorably located , which undoubtedly
accounted for the gate receipts being
somewhat less than previous years. It
is expected that the premiums will be
paid in full , or nearly so.
The quality of the birds exhibited was ,
as a whole , far ahead of any previous
exhibit , and ullhough Ihe scores do nol
average , perhaps , as high as lasl year's
show , this is accounted for from the fact
i that the young birds shown were not up
, , to weight in a great many cases , and
many of the older ones \vere not entirely
through moulting.
The fact that a large number of new
exhibitors , outside of the immediate
vicinity of McCooli1 , placed their birds
in the show-room , and a number added
their presence also , was gratifying to the
management , and proves the assertion
that the thorough-bred poultry iudustry
is growing betler every year , and that
progressive people demand something
belter than thorough-bred "mongrels. "
A brisk effort should be made by each
individual member to make the next
show to be held in January , 1902 , bigger
and better than ever.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year : President , Mrs. W. S.
Morlan , McCook ; Vice Presidents , J. S.
LeHew , McCook , Mrs. Ida E. Bard , Im
perial , and Mrs. Sara E. Sexson , Indian

The Burlington railroad wants 10,000
letters about Nebraska. It has need for
them in its work of promoting immigra
tion to this state. It wants letters that
will induce men and women to move to
Nebraska to engage in farming , cattle
raising , dairying , fruit growing or similar
pursuits.
Prizes amounting to $500 are offered.
Two similar prize contests have been
held with successful results. The third
contest has been arranged on a greater
scale , and should be even more success
ful.
First prize A ticket from any Burling
ton Route station in Nebraska to Yellow

complete trip through the park. This
trip embraces stage transportation
through Yellowstone Park and five and

tion value $100.00.
No holiday trip is comparable with
that through Yellowstone Park. The
only reason the Yellowstone trip is not
the most popular outing on the continent

McCook , Only
A telegram from Washington an
nounces the population , according to
the 1900 census , of the Nebraska incor
porated towns having a population of
over 2,000 and less than 25,000 , as fol
lows :
Alliance . 3,535
Auburn . 2,664
Beatrice . 7,875
Blair . 2,970
Columbus . 3.522
Crete . 2 , 199
Fairbury . 3,140
Falls City . 3,022
Fremont . 7,241
Grand Island . 7,554
Hastings . 7,188
Holdrege . 3,007
Kearney . 5,634

Nebraska City . 7,380
Norfolk . 3,883
North Platte . 3,640
Plattscioiith . 4.964
Schuyler . 2,157
Tecuuiseh . 2,005
Wahoo . 2,100
Wayne . 2 , 1 19
Wymore . 3,626
5,132
It is superfluous for THE TRIBUNE to
add , in this connection , that the result ,
so far as McCook is concerned , is most
disappointing , and that the showing
made is generally regarded by the people
of the city as being very incomplete and
unfair. Indeed , in the face of the school-
age population and of the vole cast at
the late general election , a population of
less than 3,000 is simply preposterous !
The most conservalive of our informed
business men claim lhat the city's popu
lation will exceed rather than fall below
the 3,000 mark. With a census school
population of over 900 and a vote of 750 ,
there is the best possible ground for a
claim of 3,000 or more people in McCook.
Then , again , the volume of business ;
the receipts of the railroad and of the
post-office ; the fact that every house in
the city is occupied and that there is a
strong and constant demand for more ,
notwithstanding a dozen or more new
dwellings have been built , this season ;
in trulh , all Ihe usual indications are
that McCook's population is now at its
highest point ever , and exceeds 3,000.
As the showing is palpably incomplete ,
a movement on the part of the people of
the city to secure an adequate and just
census would be the proper caper.
The census of 1890 was 2,346.
Notice.
After Ihis dale , I intend doing a cash
business. If you don't relish paying for
