The Chadron Times is for sale
by Clark and Kicker who have run
t successfully for about a-year or ,
more. It is a 6-column quarto

of it. It looks to us like a good
opportunity for some one wanting
to go into the business. The .pa
per is democratic.

tained twenty of her playmates

Chas. Sparks , cashier of the Val
entine State Bank , member of the
city council and treasurer of the
city , paid over to the local U. S.
land ' office at this place the sum of
$ U40.00 for the 720 acres of land
which by special act of congress
was ceded to our city upon the
conditions of the payment of $2.00
per acre. Valentine now has the
land , to use. for a city park and
such other purposes as may be
beneficial to our city. There is
some talk of the division at Long
Pine being extended to Valentine
and by proper efforts we may hope
to induce the Northwestern R'y.
to accept of a strip of this ground
for side tracks and buildings that
will be necessary for their use.
We also have a water power that
may in time be used by the city
to induce some manufacturing en
terprise that will need the water
power , to come and lonate here , or !
it can be used for pumping the
city's water supply and for. elec
tric lights. It is a good thing for
the city and the money is well ex
pended. Valentine continues to
'grow and will in time have a good
opera house and other needed im- ;
provements. We have the prom
ise of a new depot or a suitable
addition built to the present depot.
Telephone Meeting.
All persons who have subscribed
shares for the telephone line from
Valentine to Kennedy are request
ed to meet at the Co. clerks office
Friday afternoon , March 18 , at 2
o'clock p. m. for the purpose of
