Some of the papers tell us that the
war is over Jf that is so wny are
thev killing our American boys in
the Philippines Wily do they not
bring those poor worn out fellows
away wh re they can get a breath
of pure fresh air Why do they
keep on sending more soldiers over
there Tnese are the questions that
are daily asked Will the Editor
please answer and oblige
J H Sears
The war in the Philippines is not
over Administration papers tell us
every little while that the backbone of
the war is broken but it seems that
the said backbone is something the
same as the joint snake we read about
lou can break them up into pieces
but they afterwards join togetner
and are as good as ever
Our soldiers are being killed carry
ing out the imperialistic doctrine of
McKinley Mark Hanna and what
they call the Republican party
They do bring our oldier boys home
after they have become raving man
iacs and we see in a recent paper
that they are going to bring home
about five huudred dead ones Ed

WEST END ECHOES
The wind is blowing- since all have
now finished stacking hay The hay
crop fell short of last year by about
twenty five per cent
Martin Chrisiensen a pood Demo
crat from Valentine is rusticating a
few days in the sand hills making
havoc among the stubble ducks
He is visiting Mr Peder Thorsen

James S Lawrie has moved up to
the Star ranch and now has control of
the pushing part which we thinkhe
can do
The Fair at Gordon was quite good
this year quite a large exhibit In
dians were quite numerous and many
were drunk and lying in the gutter
Why cant the Indians be prohibited
from having or getting anything to
drink This s getting monotonous
and should be stopped
The crops in this vicinity are good
Wheat jm d corn is good We can say
that better quality has uot been raised
for several years The mjllet crop is
splendid We note that the acreage is
larger than has ever been sown betore
We were somewhat overcome last
I wees when the news reached our ears
I that the people of this County were
trying to put the bonded debt upon
our posterity foi twenty years to
come and at the expiration of that
time we will h ve an enormous debt
to pay almost twice the amouut try
ing to get voted upon Does it seem
possible that our county commission
ers cannot see that when bonds are is
sued that a levy of tax must be cast
iu order to create a sinking rund
Theii ivhen this is levied why not
throw the bonds away and use the
sinking fund Then you will have
your court house paid for before one
fourth the time of bonds expires Let
us hear from some one else
