IS HARD TO HEAT HIGH SCHOOL
Two Rooms Were Dismissed Today on
Account of the Cold.
Considerable dllllculty Is being ex
perienced at the high school building
In trying to keep the rooms and the
students comfortably warm. Two
rooms were this morning dismissed
because of the cold. The sixth grade ,
taught by A. K. Barnes , and the sev
enth grade , taught by Miss Fleming ,
were each too cold to hold school ses
sions In. There are four furnaces In
the building , but they have always
boon moro or loss Inadequate to the
demands of so largo a structure. The
board of education Is now contemplat
ing some means by which the trouble
may bo remedied. It is possible , said
Superintendent O'Connor today , that
steam heat may bo substituted next

All other rooms In the building were
warm enough to hold school and no

Early Settlement.
In speaking of the settlement of the
urea the work says : "Tlio first set
tlement of any moment within tlio
territory was made In 180C when a
colony of Germans from Wisconsin
took up laud on both sides of the
Northfork of the Elhhoni river near
whore the town of Norfolk now
stands. The colony consisted of twen
ty-four famlljes and numbered In all
125 men , women and children. They
arrived in the area too Into In the sen-
son to plant crops , but game was very
plentiful and with the stores they
brought with them and those obtained
from tlio nearest point of supply , six-
ty-flvo miles distant on Logan creek ,
they managed to subsist. Tlio first
wheat was planted In the spring of
tlio following year and proved very
successful , and although the succeed
ing winter was very severe , causing
unusual suffering , and the Indians
were troublesome , the colony passed
through the ordeal and became firmly
established. "
TIIO grassuoppcr piaguo 01 itn-i ,
1875 and 187(1 ( is mentioned and the
building of the railroads. The F. E.
& M. V. , now the Northwestern , was
built In 1879 followed by the Repub
lican branch of the Union Pacific , lat
er by the C. , St. P. M. & O. and the
Crolglitou branch of the Northwest
ern. After the opening of the public
lands to settlement by homestead en
try In 18(58 ( It Is noted by Mr. Hearue
that the lauds advanced In price de
cidedly during a twelve year period ,
ranging in price from $2 to $12 an
acre. At the end of another twelve-
year period the price of the cheaper
lands had increased seven times and
the better land two and one-half times ,
and barring the couple of years of
hard times "values have steadily in
creased to the present time. "
Of the climate Mr. Hearne says :
"The Stanlon area has a healthful
climate throughout the entire year.
It has an elevation of from 1-lfiO to
1,650 feet above the sea level. The
atmosphere is usually dry , with a
high percentage of sunshiny days. "
Physiology and Geology.
In the description of the area It Is
noted that well water Is found In the
valleys at a depth of from twelve to
twenty-five feet and on the uplands at
from 35 to 125 feet below the surface.
"A few springs are found and a mini-
ier of bayous , representing old clmn-
lels of the river. The Elkhorn river
s the principal stream in the area
ind with Its tributaries forms an ex
cellent drainage system. It Is formed
jy the main river and the Northfork
which join about four miles southeast
of Norfolk. The river meanders
through a broad valley , traveling
about three miles In making one of
actual advance. The geology of the
area Is simple and has a direct hear
ing on the different soil typos found.
So far as at present known only one
era is represented , namely , the Qunr-
ternary , and in tills era we have but
four sub-divisions glacial drift , loess
sand hill and alluvium.
"Glaclatinn extended over this area
the terminal moraine lying just wesl
of the western boundary of the survey
voy , but only some small patches o
glacial pebbles nnd clay are found un
covered , these occurring on n few
hills in the Marshall silt loam am
Miami flno sand areas. This materla
was only a few foot thick and in smal
patches , and did not give rise to any
soil typo. The most Important for
matlon in this area , as far as the
soils are concerned , is the loess. This
material extends over the grcato
part of the area and gives rise to ono
distinct soil typo the Marshall ell
loam. Loess , according to Prof. E. H
Darbour , state geologist , covers the
greater part of eastern Nebraska. 1
is n soft flno sandy loam , with a very
large admixture of very flno sand and
silt and considerable calcorous mat
tor. It lies In a very uniform bed ,
with an average thickness of about I
100 feet , taking the entire deposit
Into consideration , and It Is also very
deep in this area. Doing soft , It
washes rapidly , and ns a result the
surface In some sections is very hilly
and rolling.
"Tho loess , dug fresh from a well
and thrown on the ground , sustains
vegetation nt oiico , and quickly chang
es from bright buff to a darker * color.
This change IH supposed to bo due to
the amount of liumlc matter and to
the oxidation of certain mineral mat
ter contained In the material. A
largo quantity of small , Irregular IImo
nodules In also found scattered
through the loess. There are differ
ences of opinion as to the origin of
loess , but It may he viewed ns the re
sult of the closing act In glaclntlon.
Some view the wind as the chief
igeut In the distribution of the line
nnterlnl. Rlnce the loess Is laid even
ly over hills and hollows alike , but It
Is evident that the action of water
ins also played some part In the prep
aration and deposition of the fine par
ticles forming the deposit.
"Tho remaining two formations are
( he sandhills and alluvium. The line
sand of the area , mapped as Miami
Hue sand , Is likely a windblown ma
terial , having boon transported from
the more sandy regions of the west
ern part of the state , where it Is prob
ably derived from a Arlknreo forma
tion of sandstone. The alluvium ,
which represents the level land along
the Elkhorn river , has been formed
from hill soils such as the two types
In this area , as the river flows through
similar soils from its source. "
Soils.
Four types of soils are mapped In
the Stanton area. Of Marshall silt
loam there are 192,720 acres or19.7
per cent of the area. Miami fine sand
comprises 27.1 per cent of the area
or 5(5,570 acres. Of Elkhorn silt loam
there are 25,152 acres or 12.1 percent.
Of Arkansas Hue sandy loam there
are 22,1-11 acres or 10.7 per cent.
Making a total of 200,592 acres In the
survey.
Marshall Silt Lonm.
The Marshall silt loam or elayland
as It is known hero is given a very
strong recommendation by the author
of tlio work , only being exceeded by
that of the Elkhorn silt loam. It Is
derived from the weathering of loess
material of the Pleistocene age. It
lias been changed by the weathering
process nnd in addition there lias
mixed with the surface organic mat
ter , giving a silty or very tine sand
loam. Uclow the surface is found the
fresh loess material , composed of
yellowish silt and fine to very fine
sand , which upon exposure to atmos-
nhorle aueneles turns to a dnrkor
color. The soil Is rich In lime which
adds considerably to Its productive
ness.
"The greater part of the Marshall
silt'loam is under cultivation , while
tlio remainder is either pastured or
mown for hay. Corn is the principal
product grown upon this soil. It
yields from 30 to15 burhels to the
acre. The steeper areas are generally
pastured. Only a little alfalfa was
seen on this soil , lint It was making
an excellent growth , llnpo Is grown
to some extent and used as pasturage
for cattle. In addition to being a
good soil for general farming pur
poses It Is believed this soil will
rove valuable for alfalfa , and care-
'nl experimentation with the crop is
ecommended. Land if this type ol
oil Is worth from $ tO to $50 an acre
vith Improvements. "
Miami Fine Sand.
The drainage of this section of the
irea Is so good that cultivation can
> o carried on immediately after a
ain. The largest proportion is used
for pasturage and the production of
my. Many largo pastures were seen
some containing 1,000 to 2,000 acres.
Corn is the principal crop growth.
Potatoes do very well on this soil
when it is heavily manured and some
wheat and oats are grown. Alfalfa
would undoubtedly prove a good crop
f it could bo established. With care
ful management and heavy applica
tions of barnyard manure to improve
the mechanical condition of the soil
and make it more retentive of mois
ture , this' soil can be made very pro
ductive. The Incorporation of coarse
litter also renders the soil more ad
hesive.
Elkhorn Silt Loam.
The Elkhorn silt loam , spreading
out over the valley for a half mile to
two miles In width is sedimentary in
origin , being formed from the mate
rial deposited by the Elkhorn river
and its tributaries. This soil is right
ly considered the best agricultural
land in the area. Corn ranges In
yield from 30 to CO bushels an acre ,
wheat from 12 to 30 bushels , oats
from 30 to 50 bushels , and sugar beets
from 8 to 18 tons. A considerable
portion Is in wild hay producing from
three-fourths to one and one-fourth
tons an acre. The wetter areas are
pastured. Potatoes do well and where
the soil Is well drained pumpkins nnd
alfalfa are successfully grown. The
land Is worth from $40 to $75 an acre.
Arkansas Fine Sandy Loam.
The Arkansas flno sandy loam gen
erally occupies an Intermediate posi
tion between the Elkhorn silt loam
and the Miami fine sand and is found
In narrow areas along the Elkhorn
and Northfork ! rivers. It is fairly
good agricultural soil and is mellow
and easily tilled. It produces from
20 to 40 bushels of corn , medium
yields of wheat and oats nnd from
7 to 10 tons of sugar beets. Irish po
tatoes give excellent results and on
the whole tlio soil shows special adap
tation to potatoes and alfalfa , and It
would also bo an excellent typo for
truck growing on a commercial scale.
Agricultural Methods nnd Conditions.
Mr. 1 learn devotes several pages
of the pamphlet to describing the
methods employed by the farmers In
this area and offering suggestions for
Improvement. Ho deplores the fact
that the farmers In the present pro
ductive capacity of the soil overlook
the advantages to bo derived for the
future in the use of the" barn yard
manure on'their fields and remarks
that ho has seen quantities of It
thrown along the banks of streams or
to fill gullies or improve bad places
in the roads. At the present time
the farmers throughout the greater
part of this area are In a very pros-
porous condition. As a rule they have
good frame dwelling houses , usually
painted , and large well-built barns
capable of housing the work stock and
part of tlio stock fed during the win
ter. In addition to the barn , wind
mills , a few sheds nnd other outhous
es are commonly seen on every good
farm. The latest improved machin
ery Is to 1)0 found on nearly all the
farms'but Mr. Ilearno deplores tlio
fact that it Is seldom cared for as it
should bo , but Is left In tlio open dur
ing tlio winter , which frequently de
teriorates It moro rapidly than the
use given it. The , greater number of
farms are , operated by the owners.
Labor Is scarce and mnmnds high
wagos. Women and children are em
ployed in the beet fields. The scarc
ity of labor and the resulting high
wages have hindered In the develop
ment of the sugar beet industry.
In conclusion Mr. Ilearno says
. "The Stanton area has better rail
road transportation facilities than al
most any ether part of northern Ne
braska. The Chicago and Northwest
ern railway passes through the area
from west to east , and a branch of
this road extends north from Norfolk.
Tlio Chicago , St. Pnul , Minneapolis
and Omnha railroad , enters from the
nortjioast corner and terminates at
Norfolk , and a branch of the Union
Pacific railroad enters the southern
part of the area.
"Good dirt roads are found at near
ly every section line. In tli6 level
'areas the roads are good , except for
occasional mud liolos , but In the Mar
shall silt loam area there are many
ridges and the roads are apt to bo
rough , and in the sand areas they are
very heavy , from loose sand. There
are several bridges across the Elkhorn -
horn river and its branches. Rural
free delivery of mail is established
throughout the area.
"There are no large cities In this
area. Norfolk is tlio largest town and
the largest in northeast Nebraska ,
and has a population of 1,000. Stanton -
ton , Winslde and Hosklns are small
villages. These places are not of
very much importance as markets.
Grain elevators are situated at every
station , and the farmers dispose of
their grain to the dealers at those
places. The cattle nnd hogs raised
and fattened here are shipped to
South Omaha and Chicago. "
