Up the Road.
Ye editor and wife visited Gor
don last .Friday and spent Satur
day and Sunday in Merriman. At
the former place we stopped at
the Merchant's hotel and wish we
had one like it in Valentine. Gor
don business men are chee/ful ,
though trade'has been dull the
past two months- but they're look
ing forward to good business. The
Odd Fellows are going to build a
ten or fifteen thousand hall. Gor
don expects electric lights in the
near future. We saw J. C. Jor
dan , Free and Fred Mills , Wil
liams & Son of the Gordon Jour
nal , rl. G. Lyon and son , Drs.
Lauren Jones and Ed Dwyer , the
Swigert brothers , Mr. Hutt ,
Banker Griswold and several
others.
At Merriman we visited with J.
F. Nay lor and family and E. B.
Quible. Mr. Nay lor runs the
hotel and was0 crowded and seems'
to need a larger hotel and the
Merriman people contemplate see
ing that he gets it. They are
planning to build a good one.
The Royal Neighbors and Wood
men take turn about entertaining
each other and Saturday night was
Koyal Neighbors' turn and we
were invited to the feast and mus-
'ic , being a brother-in-law to the
order. They meet in the hall ov
er Ed Collins' store and are provided - ,
vided with arprano and plenty o"f
musicians , and Messrs. Quible
and Harvey took turn about at
the violin while the 30 women and
20 men enjoyed a social hop. Bert
WhiteEd Collins and a few oth
ers had a "His Master's Voice"
up to the hall and furnished splen
did music anil songs preliminary to
the other music , after which some
of the ladies proeeeded to put it
out of commission and we doubt
very much now if "His Master's
Voice" could be recognized , the
several of the gentlemen made a
heroic defense in its behalf.x Ex
cellent coffee , sandwiches , pickles ,
cake and maple ice cream made a
splendid lunch and it seemed to be
a custom of the Merrimanites to
be merry.
Sunday morning we accompani
ed Mr. Nay lor and wife to the M.
E. church where that pioneer
preacher , Rev. Hunt , preached a
splendid sermon , after which he
baptized nearly a dozen persons.
He recently conducted a revival
meeting there and there was a
good congregation , crowding the
fair sized church.
Committee Investigates.
Last Friday , six members of the
Plouse committee on fish and game ,
consisting of Representatives
Metzger , chairman , Sagl , Hos-
podsky , Riha , Hergoz and Claske ,
visited this vicinity fop the pur
pose of examining the Chery coun
ty fish fiatchery in view of making
an additional appropriation of
§ 5000 for the same , and incident
ally to examine the state experi
mental farm and as much of Cher
ry county as possible. In com
pany with several of the business
men tbey spent the morning at
the fish hatchery where Chief
Game Warden Miller , Fish Com
missioner , O'Brien , Deputy Game
Warden Clarkson and Scott Alex
ander showed them the process of
hatching fish and in looking over
the grounds where the new build
ing is to be placed for enlarging
the hatchery.
Afterwards , in automobiles , the
entire party visited the state farm
wh'ere several of the members who
were farmers expresseU them
selves as being surprised at the
quality of the soil , having the idea
that all soil in this county was of
pure sand. From the farm a trip
was made to the new dam and
from there east to have a view of
the state land that lies on toward
the river. In the afternoon M.V.
Nicholson and D. McLeod took
the committee for a ride on the
Uble land north ctf tttwa tti show
them what our farm land is like.
Representative Hergoz , who is a
farmer in Washington county , ex
pressed himself as "delighted"
with the farm prospects of Cherry
county and said that he had al
ways understood that we had
nothing here except cattle and
sand.
In the evening the party were
entertained in the- Eagle club
room where many of the business
men dropped in to meht them and
boost for Cherry county. They
left for Lincoln on the early train
and a'li seemed to be pleased with
the reception that had been ten
dered them and with different idea
about the possibilities and pros
pects of our county. Representa
tive Metzgar- a well pointed
speech said that they had felt the
honest and wholesome western
hospitality and that everyone of
the committee would always have
a warm spot Jxyr Valentine and
Cherry county.
Ityis'hnped this committee will
favorably report on enlarging the
fish hatchery and will be fighting
for our new experimental farm
when the time comes. Fish Com
missioner O'Brien says that there
is no place in Nebraska where the
watpr is more iavorable for trout
hatching than here and there is no
place in Nebraska where so many
varieties of soil can be experi
mented with as out at the state
farm. As Representative Sag'
oppressed it we have locked our
knockers'up and with the proper
| tind of boosting the real possibili
ties of Cherry couaty and the
sand hill country are as yet un
dreamed of and undeveloped.
