CHAUTAUQUA OnOUNDS WOULD
MAKE IDEAL CITY PARK.
WITH VERY LITTLE EXPANSE
Mr , Bridge Says He Would Lease the
Grounds to the City ( or a Term of
Years at Reasonable Price Grounds
.Would Be Picturesque.
All easy solution of thu public park
proposition ! r Norfolk IB at Imnd.
Sooros of iicoplo who have visited
the beautiful cliuitiuiiiiii : | grounds , on
the properly of the Sugar City Cereal
M'.lls coinpiuiy , Imvo looked nnd won
dered that so plctiirusquo mill so Ideal
a npot for a pulillc park could have
existed for all these years without
over having been brought Into such
UHO. The entire city , as It were , has
voiced the very earnest desire that
Norfolk , through the mayor and city
council , might establish a public park
on that co/.y , well-shaded and con
vonlontly located site.
And the fortunate feature of the
proixmltlon , lies In the willingness ol
C. S. Bridge , who Is at the head of
the milling company , to lease those
grounds for park purposes at a reason
able price for a long period of years.
Mr. Bridge Would Lease Ground.
Asked In regard to the matter by
The News , Mr. Bridge said that hc s
would not care to sell the property
but that he would be willing to lease
the ground for public park purposes
for a period of years. Ho had not
considered the matter suillclently to
set a figure at which he would innko
the lease , but ho did say that he
would lease the grounds nt a "reason
able price. "
And so , as has been pointed out by
scores and scores of Norfolk people ,
n public park a long wished for pos
session In Norfolk seems nt last
wlthU easy reach , and In the simplest
sort of way.
Mayor Sturgeon has already been
considering the matter and It Is be
lieved that the city council would be
glad to add this progressive Improve
ment to the year's record.
Six Acres In the Park.
There are about six acres In the
grounds. Lying just northeast of the
mill , nt the foot of Norfolk avenue ,
the public park would bo within a
stone's throw of the business section
of the city. On the grounds could bo
n band pavilion , a place under roofIng -
Ing for picnic lunches , n fountain per
haps , blue grass all around , a croquet
ground , n tennis court , perhaps golf
links , driveways around the park ,
park benches , etc. And up river from
the park boating could be easily ac
cessible.

TWO BIG DAYS.
MONDAY NIGHT CLOSES PROGRAM
Chautauqua Which WIN Close Monday
Night Has Been Splendid Success
! n the Program Offered and In the
Details of Management ,
Marred by only one disastrous con
flict with the elements , offering In the
cool grove of the mill park a retreat
from the burning sun of the past week
and presenting n program of such tin-
Ifirm merit that It has clearly
shown Itself worthy of being a per
manent Institution of the city , the
Norfolk chautauqua Is fast drawing
to a close , to give way during the
coming week to the Norfolk race meet
and the ever present delights of the
bnse bnll season.
Two Big Days.
Two big days remain , two of the
biggest I days on the chnutnuqua pro
gram * , Sunday and Monday.
Sunday Is preeminently a chautau
qua day. Norfolk churches showed
an appreciation of this when many
dismissed the Sunday afternoon nnd
evening services. Sunday is a day of
rest and reflection , and as a day for
healthy and refreshing things can of
course be spent In no better way than
at a chautauqua grounds where nn
appropriate program Is offered. In
every chautauqua the land over Sun
day Is the day of record breaking at
tendances.
And Monday Is the last day of the
chautauqua , a day when Norfolk must
say "good by" to the big auditorium
tent , the little chautauqua city nnd
the chautauqua program.
The Sunday Program.
The afternoon speaking on Sunday
Is Dr. Elliott A. Boyl , the orator. His
subject will bo "Tho Seen nnd the
Unseen. " It Is said to bo a lecture of
common sense , of oratory , of schol
arshlp , of wit and humor. Dr. Boy
will begin to speak at 3 p. m.
Sunday evening Rev. Edwin Booth
will' give an Illustrated lecture on "A
Trip Round the World With a Spocla
Stop at Palestine to Review the Life
of Christ. " It will be an especially
appropriate Sunday evening feature
Preston Ogden will sing during the
evening.
Both the address of the afternooi
and the Sunday evening lecture wil
be preceded by n prelude by the Colon
ial Saxophone quartet The saxa
phone qunrtet Is one of the mos
pleasing musical numbers possible
Miss Victoria Lynn , the reader , I
known through her former connection
with the Temple qunrtet.
The Monday Program.
It hns been long since Norfolk ha
henrd a professlonnl bnnd and fo
this reason the Monday afternoon con
cert by Norton's bnnd and orchestr
is sure to be enjoyed and equally sur
to be attended1 by a large crowd. Thl
afternoon meeting will also be the oc
caslon of some pretty drills by th
children who have been working ude
Miss Rilling.
Norton's band In the evening wl
also give a short concert before th
address of Hon. Walter M. Chandle
of New York City on "The Trial o
Jesus from a lawyer's Standpoint ,
nn address worthy of closing a chau
tnuqun.
The Attendance.
From the viewpoint of the merits o
the program the chnutnuqua attem
ance hns been disappointing. From
the viewpoint of the experienced chai
tauqua man , who has found out thn
chautauqua attendance Is a matte
of growth nnd thnt the first chnutai
qua but paves the way for Inter flnnn
cinl success , the attendance ) Is not s
disappointing.
The attendance hns shown a
healthy growth as the result of the
fact that every number of the chau-
A Talk on Farming.
O' Neill Democrat : The great
trouble with the crop nycragcs in
Holt county , especially the corn crop ,
In the careless methods of farming
prevailing here. One man attempts
to farm too much ground. Most
farmers will tell you that one good
hand will fnrm from sixty to eighty
ncres of corn. This Is a mistake , an
awful mistake. When one man at
tempts to care for more than forty
acres of corn he Is doing his farm , his
pocketbook and the country In general
a great .Injustice. It takes on an aver
age osix days to cultivate forty
acres. Even then you have to allow
for 'bad weather which may delay.
From the time the corn Is largo enough
to cultivate there are six weeks that
It should be cultivated once per week
this will keep one team very busy ,
but it is almost always true that one
mnn can raise more bushels of corn
off of forty acres than ho can from
sixty or eighty acres. It only takes
a trip over Holt county and a visit
with the farmers who raise thn big
crops and those that ralso the small
crops to prove the truth.of this state
ment. What you do do well.
Another Alfalfa Ranch.
O'Neill Democrat : T. N. Wheaton
manages the A. N. Allen alfalfa ranch :
of 900 acres. He lives on the homo
place and has been there three years.
This ranch Is all In alfalfa and ho Is
now putting In an alfalfa is
plant , with machinery of Mr. Allen's
own Invention. Mr. Allen Is now In
the south looking up the market. Thin
plant Is established In the elevator
on the ranch , has a $1200 gasoline en-
glno of forty horse power , Is In run
ning order nnd only waiting dry
enther. Mr. Wheaten Is now en-
aged In putting up alfalfa. Ho em-
toys seven men and eight teams In
ic haying crew. The vien occupy a
unk house and arc fed by Mrs.
Colly at the boarding house. Mr.
Vllen claims to have the best pro
ud of alfalfa meal known.

ROSEBUD AND INDIANA LAND
GIVES STRIKING CONTRAST.
Lamro , S. D. , Aug. 8. Special to The
Vews : A striking contrast between
rlpp county nnd Indiana land was
ecently unearthed by a Lamro at-
orney , G. 0. Van Meter.
In the Goodlnnd , Ind. , Herald ap-
lears the following "want-ad : "
Good ICO ncres farm , Benton conn-
y , Ind. Far Improvements. All fine
and. Located on good gravel road
no mile from good market. Price
ilC per acre. Terms reasonable. "
ng local : "Many farmers have
iavc stnrted to cut their onts. Twenty
ushels per ncre will about strike this
Iclnlty. "
Mr. Van Meter says that Trlpp conn-
y can reverse those figures nnd show
ilenty of $20 Innd with 110 bushels
if oats or spelts to the ncre.
"Goodland" Is a misnomer when the
losebud land Is brought Into com-
mrison.
PREDICT $10 ADVANCE.
Fourth Bumper Crop Expected To
Boost Rosebud Land Values.
Gregory Times : The tremendous
crop which will be hnrvested In the
losebud country this season , being
.ho fourth great bumper crop slnco
.ho Rosebud country was opened to
settlement four years ago , will cause
a general advance In. all land prices
around Gregory this fall of ten dollars
per acre. Investors , having found out
.he possibilities of this rich and fertile
country are buying up land here , for
Lho sure and steady Increase 'In value
are netting handsome returns. Land
lying about Gregory Is soiling from
forty-five to fifty-five dollars per acre
nnd will go to sixty-five this fnl'
easily. This same Innd will sell in a
year or so for twelve thousand dollars
per quarter section.
A Rosebud Farm Sale.
Gregory Times : Reports from the
winter wheat crop of Samuel Oslo
south of the city six miles , indicate
thnt Mr. Osier will get above twentj
bushels per acre. Mr. Osier recentl >
sold his farm for forty dollars per acre
to Governor Jacksor. of Iowa.
Burned By X-Ray.
Spokane , Wash. , Aug. 8. O. A
Sweeney , Inspector for the Washington
Water Power company , who was se
verely burned some time ago whll
undergoing an X-ray examination , sub
mitted to a skin grafting operation In
the Sacred Heart hospital recently am
it is believed he will recover. It wa
while attempting to develop th <
source of Sweeney's supposed kldne ;

ducting the examination the attendln
physician brought the powerful ray
Into too close contact with the fles !

which have thus far resisted all mec

from a similar ailment , contrncte
during X-rny experiments.
Some Spirit.

Such unselfishness in business is re

WHEAT 280 BUSHELS TO ACRE.
Cluster of Seven Heads Instead of
One.
*
Spokane , Wash. , Aug. 8. The dis
covery of a new variety of wheat on
the Hogoyo ranch owned by W. W.
Ward , seven miles from Dayton ,
Wash , , south of Spokane , which , it is
claimed If cultivated , will yield 280
bushels an aero , has aroused intense
Interest among farmers of that sec
tion , nnd plnntologists nre working on
Its classification , states a recent re
port. An interesting feature of the
species Is the hend , which really con
sists of seven distinct heads , united at
n common base. Growers in eastern
Washington believe that if the cereal
is found adapted to cultivation ,
wheat can bo made to yield seven
times as much as ordinary wheat.
John Brining has also found some of
the wheat growing on his ranch.
Nebraska Indian Lands.
Lincoln Journal : The time Is not
far distant when the Omaha and
idn
Wlnnebago Indian reservations , com
prising what is now Thurston county
In this state , will be 'open , " not for
homesteads or pre-emption , but for
purchase from the individual Indian.
The last treaty made with thp Omahas
was for twenty-five years and will ex
pire in two years. The last treaty
made with the Wlnnebagos wns for the
same period , but will not oxplro for
fine years. Nearly nil the land , amount
Ing to about 275,000 acres , Is already
allotted In severally to the Indians.
2nch Indian knows what Is his par-
Icular piece of Innd , but ho cnnnot
ell or lease without the consent of
tie government given through the In-
Ian superintendent on the rescrva-
lon. The only exception to this rule
s whnt are known as "helrshlp" lands ,
hero the original holder of the allot-
icnt hns died nnd upon order of the
ounty judge the land may bo solder
or the benefit of the heirs.
The theory of the government In
hus holding the lands of these No-
raska Indians Is that they are not
ct developed far enough In the com-
leretal way to qualify them for the
ompleto custody of their own prop-
rty. Like children they must bo kept
n wardship to .protect them from
hrowd white men who would got
heir Innds for a trlllo nnd leave the
ndlan without menus of subsistence.
Vhen the present trcntles expire
vlthout seine now notion on the pnrt
f the government the Indian will have
lear title to his Innd nnd mny pnrt
vlth to whom he will and at any
rice ho chooses.
There have been recent changes at
ho Wlnncbngo reservation , Mr. A. H.
neale coming from the Crow agency
n Montana to take charge of affairs
here. It Is nnnounccd thnt the new
.gent will put Into practice a new
chool system among the WInnebngo
Imllnr to the public school system of
Vobrnskn. The work of Issuing patents
rom the government to the Indian
ias been going on for several yenrs.
Vhen the trcntles expire , If no action
s taken by the government , n grand
tish for bargains in Indian lands will
) robnbly tnko plnce In Thurston
county.
Wayne Girl Goes To Philippines.
Wayne Democrat : Miss Winnlfred
lunter loft on her long Journey to the
Philippine Islands , where she will
ako a position in the government
schools as a teacher , beginning at
il,200 per year salary. Few young
women would have the hardihood to

voyage at any salary named , therefore
