ho telegraphed the sheriff at North

To Increase Facilities
In order to increase facilities and avoid
delays as far as possible tho telegraph
office at this place is to be overhauled
and tho old fixtures roplaced by larger
ones Wire No 3 will be quadruplexod
through to Denver thus doubling the
capacity of the local office which now has
but one quad By- this quadrupling
operation different operators can send or
receive dispatches at the same time over
the same wire A new wire will be con
nected up through to Denver at Brush
A number of new operating tables will
be put in and the service improved
greatly from every material aspoct As
perhaps 300 messages are received and
sent at this office every day the impor
tance of these improvements will be ap
preciated
Receipts Will Not Warrant Uptown Office
Manager Heber of the Western Union
says he would be only too delighted to
give the people of McCook an uptown
office if the receipts of tho office in this
city warranted any such expenditure
He states however that they are entirely
too low to admit of such an expense
beinc on an average only a little above
S100 per month when to secure an up
town office perhaps the receipts would
have to reach two or three times that
sum While the increased convenience
and privacy and the better service of an
uptown office would doubtless increase
the receipts in a measure it is highly
improbable that they will in many years
reach the point named by the local man
ager
Entertained The Old Soldiers
The members of the Ladies Circle en
tertained the old soldiers over the Model
shoo store last Friday af tornoon A big
feast was spread and the occasion wa

The most practical article on the sub
ject of farm drainage we have ever read
was published in this weeks Homestead
It is entitled Location of Tile Drains
and is from the pen of Prof AV II Steven
son soil specialist of the Iowa Agricul
tural College Professor Stf venson points
out the errors that men fall into draining
their land and gives directions for the
location of drains so that water is re
moved with the least po sible outlay for
labor and for tile Special attention is
given to adequate outlets and to the lo
cation of drains in draws and sloughs
The Homestead which prints a number
of such special articles by experts in
each of its issues is making itself indi
spensible to the up to date farmer We
are glad to see its circulation increasing
in Red Willow county for it is the best
and most practical farm paper in tho
United States especially for farmers in
the corn belt We are glad to help along
the cause of good farming by receiving
Homestead subscriptions at this office
