THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE.
Vol. Ill FALLS CITY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY , HARCH 23 , 1906. Whole No. u5
An Authoritative Statement , i
The Journal lias declared for )
the citizens1 ticket. Will it sup
port it' ' Judging from itb past
actions , we are in doubt. The
Journal declared for the republi
can ticket in the late county contest -
test yet who will be so bold as to
say that it supported the repub
lican nominees ? Let its present
actions be the judge. We see a
representative of that paper daily
t haunting the court house and
making demands of democratic
officials with a perfect assurance
of the justness of its clainvj.
From these actions there is no
doubt that the Journal feels fully
assured that its treachery to the
republican party is responsible
for the cleaning of the augean
stables , and it is not a bit back
ward in levying tribute for that
treachery. So persistent are the
demands of that paper that it is
placing some of the officials in
an embarassing position. There
is little difference from a moral
point of view what the considera
tion may be in return for political
support from the opposition. In
any form that you put it. it is a
bribe. This fact should be firmly
impressed upon those who feel
under obligations for the assist-
4 ance received from the enemy.
Their sense of right should be so
great and fealty to party 'o
strong that recognition of such
( treachery would be regarded as ft
crime. Again we ask , will the
Journal support the citizens's
x ticket ? If it does it is easy to
divine the incentive , which is
summed up in five letters graft.

The Situation.
Some of Leyda's friends are
trying to make the voters be
lieve that Prof. Barrett hasen't
the ability to be mayor of Falls
City. Now in answer to this 1
would suggest that our fricjul
Leyda appoiilt n " committee 'to
investigate what the professor
has accomplished from a busi
ness stand point since he has
been in our city , and compare
it to the business ability he has
displayed , and if this committee
don't find the results in favor of
Prof. Barrett , i will gladly vote
the citizens ticket , and will
cheerfully do everything in my
power to extend to our present
Mayor the title. "Czar" and let
him hold the office indefinitely ,
and then he will not be com
pelled to bob up every year for
re election , as this is the sixth
time he has had to undergo this
ordeal.
If to be Mayor issuch a yrand
thing , clothed with -o much
honor , don't you think he has
been blessed enough , while on
the other hand , if it is such a
terrible bad thing , don't you
think this distinguished citizen
has been tortured long enough

A Fair Statement.
I take this method of answer-
ome of the rumors .thai are
illoat concerning my candidacy
or mayor of this city.
Some of my friends have been
lisinformed and are led to be-
ieve that I was forced on the
icket by certain factions.
I wish to state that there is
10 truth in this statement what ,
ever , and this talk is made as a
natter of fact to turn certain
) ursons against me that are not
amiliar with the conditions as
hey exist.
Now brothers , lets be fair ,

If I am elected I will have an

where every dollar of his money

dition of our city , but consult
with me on any proposition
wherein the city may be inter

A New Mining Enterprise.
Since the discovery of lead
and coal near Falls Oily a new
company has been formed. The
labor performed by those gen
tlemen who last October began
the devclopemeiit of this field ,
and the success obtained by
them as a result of their in-
'estments in sinkingshafts and
exploring the mineral possibili-
ies of the field has encouraged
other , and as a result a new
company , entirely sepcrate and
listinct from the company
vhich has sunk the shaft and
opened a mine , has bcenforncd.
rhe new company we under
stand has secured some leases
rein the neighboring farmers
ind , while nothing in the way.
of prospecting ordevelopemcnt.
las been done , the field is so
) remising and the ability of
; hose who form the company is
of such high character , that a
company known as The Nemaha
Valley Coal And Lead Company
las been incorporated with a
capital stockof $1,000 and is
low selling stock in the market.
We copy the following from the
) rospectus.
"Tho following named gentlc-
ncn who so far have been
ictivly engaged in directingaf-
rairs ol the company are not
nillionares or professional pro-
noters , but reliable business
men and professional men. Mr.
D P. Brannin is one of the lead
ing merchants and property
owners of Falls City. Judge
Francis Martin stands at the
head of his profession as one of
the leaders of the bar of Ne
braska , his place of residence
being Palls City. Mr. Thomas
Martin , a son of Judge Martin ,
a man of considerable import
ance in the community in which
he lives , has been for , a number
of years actively engaged in
various mining enterprises in
Colorado and other mining
states , and the company feels
fortunate of his experience and
advice. "
In this day of graft and mis
representation , it is refreshing
to read a mining prospectus that
has so little of either. While
Mr. Thomas is not very well
known as a mining expert by
the people of this community ,
there are gentlemen connected
with the eompany whose mining
experience is well , understood
by our people. The Tribune
wishes the company all tlie suc
cess it deserves.
Drainage District Supervisors.
An election was held here last
Saturday by the land-owners of
drainage district numbt-r one

acres in the Nemaha valley ,
The following were chosen the
board of supervisors :

Pridbeno of Preston ; J. II. Miles
of Falls City ; R. E. Grinstead
of Salem and Daniel Riley of
Dawson.
This board will meet here
March HI , to employ an engi
neer and start the active work-
forward. The meeting was ,
well attended and was culled to.
order by Charlo.s Loree , cU-rlc
of the court , and was presided
over by E. S. Towle as chairman
and A. R Koim as secret try. '
A motion was adopted direct

to a conclusion at the ear U't > t
