The races at the Lone Tree Ranc were not as well attended as the would have been had the weathe been more favorable jnst previous t the races though they wcie as adver tised. We would like to give the pai tJculars more complete and if the ; arrive in time for this issue you wil tind them in another column. The famous General Gage who sign ed the-Sulu treaty was here a littl over a week ago inspecting the Pos at Ft. Niobrara. He expressed him self as being very much pleased wit ] the appearance in general and was o the opinion that the fort would bi more extensively used in the future the conditions being more favorabli than he had expected from What .hi had previously learned. The editor got aboard the cars a this place last Frida } ' morning an < went down the road to vtst our ueieh bore "Longpirie reached , and / me the always smiling county attorn 2y editor of the Longpine Journal Luke Bates with whom we chattet For a few moments. Then on to Bas sett where Robt. Good's Eagle soar ) ut once each week spreading thf lews to the people of Rock county Bob.was at the depot and took im Mediate charge , escorting his success ) r on the VAL.ENTIXE DEMOCRAT u the Eagle's perch where we were en tertained for a while and then madt i tour of the town. The banker , Mr , Srayton. we found to be a .pleasant , Denial and good hearted man who ha * jeen doing business there for severai fears. Mr. . Smith , the sheriff , was a Necessary acquaintance which we nade as soon as possible. Bob sug rested going down to .Nexvport where ; here was a meeting of.the A. O. U IV. so we put in the time pretty well risking several prominent business nen. Mr. Mead of the Bassett Lead er .was at home and has a pleasant ) ! ace to dp business. W. T. Phillips , former editor of the Eagle , was al : he Eagle's perch , an elderly gentle nan. Miss Delgetta and Gillett , for nerly of Valentine are each conduci ng millinery stores at Bassett. Fin illy Bob's credit being good we , tr.ied 'liven" good with a square m'eal at : he 'popular hotel.

Robert .llartin , an ild timer and faithful to the end was here and accuses Reinert oE writing he article to the State Journal , in rhich so much was claimed by the mtef'as to deceive the middle of the oaders themselves.

Bro. liles was busily engaged getting out ome programs and course of study or their county superintendent , Miss Daniels whom we had the pleasure of neeting.
