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.
