DOUGLAS TAKES EXCEPTION TO RAILROAD BOOK. T TOOK NAME FROM CREEK Not From the Soil , as the Railroad Book Says , But From Rock Creek Did the Name Come , According to Rock County Attorney. Commenting upon the new book just wbllshed by the Chicago & North western and the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha railways , on- Itled "A History of the Oilgln of the lace Names , " J. A. Douglas of Bas- sett , county attorney of Rock county , : akes exception to the origin of the lame of Rock county , as interpreted > y W. H. Stennot , author of the book. The book , portions of which were given to News readers Saturday , says hat Rock county derived Its name from Its "rocky" soil. Rock county , according to Mr. Doug las , derived its name from Rock creek. Commenting on the quotation , Mr. Douglas writes to The News , in part : Soil Is Good. Generally speaking the soil of this county ( Rock ) is not very heavy , and still 11 is tine that the poorest . .oil \\t- have is not poorer than some of the soli In Madison county , and Madison county ranks as one of the good counties of Nebraska. It Is true that there are a good many sand hills In Rock county , and there are also a eat many exceedingly line valleys In It , nnd for Its bl/e no county in the btute produces more or better bay than does Rock county. Theie Is also it bood deal of excellent farm land In the count ) , and In the localities where the soil Is adapted for farming as good crops can he raised as are grown in Madison county. Great Dairy Country. A large portion of Rook county is suitable oulj for grazing , and no county in the state lias greater pos sibilities in the line of dairying than it has , aiea considered. Some rea sons for this fact are : Praetlcallj enough grain Is raised to supply the needs of the dairyman and stockman ; there is plenty of hay In all parts o : the county for home use , with thou i sands of tons lelt each year for tht I outride markets ; there are numerous small streams , many lakes , and under flow water easily accessible In al liarts of the county , and no county li the state excells Rock county in tht qualltj , quantity and accessibility Ii this legard. The native grasses here , are as good as are the grasses In any other part of the state of the same altitude , and oven the sand hills fur nlsh splendid summer grazing. People Are Prosperous. A large per cent of the people li this coi nty are prospering because o tiic iiiulitj of the "soil" and the many other natural advantages. The statement concerning the sig nificance of our county's name Im plies that either there Is a great dea of rock In this county or that Its sol Is extremely poor. As above stated the soil is not all good nor is it al bad , and in the main it answers verj well tor the uses that are being made of it. The Real Origin. It might be of interest to your read erb to know why this subdivision o the state is known as Rock county In 1888 , and when it was decided bj the Inhabitants of the territory com prising this county to detach the same from Brown county , of which It was a part , and erect a now county , cer tain formalities had to be observed and the first step necessary for the formation of a new county out of the territory of the county to which i then belonged was to present a petl tion for an election , and in the petl tlon so presented the name of the proposed county was u necessary part A few of the promoters of the new county idea met at the village o Newport to perfect arrangements fo the circulating of the petition and to select a name for the proposed county and at that meeting It was agree ( that the county should be named afte a stream of water than which there Is no more beautiful stream in all the state , to-wit , Rock creek. This stream has its source in the hay flats abou seven miles northeast of Bassett , am it ( lows northward and empties into the Nlobrara river. About half way between the source and mouth of thl stream Is a deposit of exceptional ! } fine building stone , and undoubted ! } this stream took Its name in an earlj day from said deposit of rock. On this stream is the only real rock quar ry in the county , and there are bu very few places in the county wher rock is found at all on or near th surface. MONDAY MENTION.
