We are encouraged to believe that the proposition for the pur chase and sale of real estate by the city will be voted down. Our people should own this land for the benefit of the city and feel that they should first be given the opp ortunity of saying whether or not we shall buy the land for the city's use. The land is worth the pur chase price and many times over. It is of value and is valuable to the city in numerous ways. We understand [ that one of the men who expects the people to vote for him next Tuesday is not a resi dent of our town by virtue of a certain homestead which claims him as a resident. Will this man per mit his name to be .used and will he go to the polls and vote illegal ly oiwill he take this gentle re minder that there are people who know that he is not entitled either * to hold a city office nor to vote here while he claims his residence to be out in the hay Hats ? C. H. Cornell called on us yes terday with a proposition to cither sell shares in his purchase of real estate from the city up to 6 p. m. next Monday evening or to donate § 100 to the city to buy the land , provided others will coneribute the remaining $1320. Several others signified their willingness to contribute a hundred dollars each for the pvrchase of the land. It is now evident that the amount can be raised to purchase the land for the city and all we want is time to put this before the people in the best proposition for the city's best interest. The people need have no hesitancy in voting against the proposition now before them and proceed to call a meeting to give every one a chance to express their views as to the best way of securing all of the 720 acres for the city. We understand that S. F. Gilman and several others have good propositions to make the city 'and that there need be no haste to accept a proposition at this elec tion. The Ticket by Petition. There was considerable xcom- : plaint made in the way the caucus was conducted , and taking a fair ; view of the matter it looked like a , stuffed caucus for the support of the Cornell Land Proposition though the majority of the voters who voted for the citizens ticket a nej.cr , dreamed that their support ii was tjeing securedf or that purpose. /'A-'iickefr-was ( thus nominated favorable to the land deal and shut al ting 6ut all who might have a choice qther than that proposition. w There was no inducement nor r ( encouragement for those opposed d < < to the candidates nominated i at dto ) that caucus to look forward to the toP P < election excepjting to defeat the cc land deal and in order that a full vote and expression be secured a ticket was put up by petition so m tliat' people might express a choice plan of'candidates as well as on the land . deal. We would urge every one who is a legal voter in Valentine an rii to 15e at the polls early next Tues day to vote. There should be no hi ] afl illegal voting and if any should -vote illegally such person or per sons should be prosecuted and will ed l be if there is evidence to convict fn them. Schemes and trade dent go ou - in honesty , and no law abiding cit- in izen will vote illegally nor permit wi others to , with their consent or wi approval. Let us have a fair is : count and do not forget the first of and main object of the. right of franchise , hi * s , tbfc Cornell Land Prop- oiion flown. Several of our townsmen have stated that they would give the city § 1440 for just 40 acres of the land which is under consideration. Another has said that he would be one of 15 men , each to give the city § 100 for an acre. That is 15 men will join together and pay the city o500 for the1 15 acres to en able the city to pay for this land and own the remainder. J. TT. Stetter offers to give the city § 100 towards paying for the land , if do nations will be received for the purchase of the land , and asks nothing in return. The land to be the property of the city and to be used and disposed of , only by a vote of the people. With such propositions as these before the people as well as that of Geo. H. Hornby's published last week in the Republican , it is evident that onr people are not willing that this land should go to one man. It does indicate that there are men enough in Valentine to donate the required purchase money for the whole tract and never ask for an acre of it and the land to be owned and controlled by our city and for such needs and benefits as will best suit all of our people as de cided by their vote from time to time. There is another way the city can purchase the tract of land by voting bonds or by levy ing a tax. There are public spirit ed and generous people in Valen tine and it will not be necessary to hunt for them in making ar rangements to purchase this land. They will make some provision to own it for the city. ADDITIONAL LOCAL H. B. Clapp , of Simeon , called last Saturday and paid another § in advance. Morning subject at the M.
