We arc in receipt of a communi
cation from some modest friend of
Columbus who dors not like to give
her name, but who evidently ha
something to suggest on a subject
interesting to all Columbus people.
We deviate from our customary rule
not to take account .of anonymous
communication,- by- briefly giving
her ideas and queries. Some one
having the means should run a
water trunk 100 rods with ihe river,
and get a head to turn machinery,
and utilize some of our waste mate
rial. The fall is" certainly sufficient,
and it could be done in more -than
one place, and more than one trunk
start from the same place. Before
Pat. Murray's land on the river a
sluice could be cut, a "bulk-head"
put in of water lime and gravel, very
cheap. In Berkshire county, Mass.,
the same brook is used many times
for many purposes. The Loup has
splendid sites for cotton and woolen
mills, and there is no reason why
Columbu-, with her ready commu
nication with the cotton fields of the
south should not manufacture that
commodity as cheap as wo used to
in Massachusetts and New York.
And whero could thorcbeabctter
place for a woolen .mill ? Possibly
tho world niny have, somowhere,
hotter sheop ranges, but Nebraska is
good enough to keep 3cores of fac
tories at profitablo work.
Aftor woolen mills, knitting fac
tories might be started to furnish.
knit goods for tho western country.
An immense traffic could bo worked
up in these aloud.
The truth i?, by the plan I speak
of and tho use of turbino wheels, the
Loup could bo made your chief
source of support.
Manufactures would wonderfully
increase your population, and add to
tho wealth of "tho butcher, tho bak
er, the photograph-taker."
Allow mo to abruptly ask the fol
lowing questions:
Where does Columbus get her
soap? Farmers burn grain, cobs,
straw-stacks, and any amount of
alkali runs to wa9to, as well as soap
grease, too.
Whero do you get pearled barley,
corn starch and hominy? Is there
a hominy rasp in any mill near, and
do thoy make patent flour from bran
and middlings?
Any amount of bones are disfigur
ing tho prairies, that might be made
into buttons, knife handles, pen
holders, &c.
Yeast might be extensively made
hops grow wild, and the brewery
is handy.
Farmers in general might grow
sugar cane and make syrup and vin
egar from it. It certainly would
pay at 40 ots. a gallon.
Whero do our brooms come from ?
We can raiso hotter broom corn than
over grew on the Mohawk broom
corn flats.
Then, why didn't John Wiggins
bring some practical cheeso makers
back with him? I know he must
have visitod Herkimer county.
Whoro do our gloves and mittens,
and boots and furs como from ? In
Johnstown ami Glovcrsville, Fulton
county, N. Y., are any amount of
light buck gloves and mittens made
from shoopskin and also dog, deer
and calf ekin, ao that gloves costing
here $1.25, aro thore sold for 37Le
cts. They send out here for furs to
trim with.
Why not havo a glue factory ? It
don't coat much.
Why dou't some one uso the young
sumach that grows wild everywhere
and tan "morocco" from split calf
and heavy sheep skins, or press, bale
and ship it? I have heard old tan
ners whine for it lo use.
Why not have a "rope walk?"'
Hemp would grow wild.
Why don't some one use the flax
straw, and mako papor sacks for
flour, also hardwaro paper and
wrapping and box boards, and straw
boards generally ? We havo three
practical papor makers 'under our
own roof, bred to tho business.
Why not can onr own vegetables?
Finest place to grow peas, tomatoes,
green corn, Lima beans, squash,
pumpkins, &c, for shipment to new
er places west.
Why don't some one send to Grand
Haven, Mich., and get Philadelphia
raspberries and supply tho home
markets with fresh and dried ber
ries? They arc shipped by lako to
Chicago from G. H. for3crs. perqt.,
box and boxes returned.
The St. Louis Beef Canning Co.
can 300 to 400 Texan beeves daily.
This I know through my two broth
ers who aro foremen for tho Co.
One of them, who was in Columbus
this summer, thinks it would be a
"bo.s" place for that business. "
Our correspondent suggests that
it would be a good thing for the
town if a certain building or street
were set apart as a market-place for
farm products of all descriptions.
She has also considerable to say in
favor of a restaurant, for the good of
tho public, where school children,
farmers and the very poor could get
a cheap, good meal that would
bo "fillin, gratifyin and satisfyin."
Some ono or more of our numer
ous Columbus readers may find
profit in engaging iu somo of the
enterprises mentioned.
Our fair correspondent should
write again, and over her own sig
nature. Wo desire practica.LJhot's
from practical people.

What Ami- Aniiihiliitoi- E-'txr-Hier
Iui 10 May.
Mr. Eihtok: In my firot letter I
hinted that the founding of a new
town and callinir it Centre with the
prefix of the name of the county,
does not, necessarily mako it the
centre" of the social, political and
fcomm'ercial life 'nfrthc county. -Yet
under certain circumstances it might
do so after all. If the men interest
ed in Platte Centre would and could
do the things I in my first commu
nication recommended to the citi
zens of Columbus, if these citizens
of Columbus on the other hand
should neglect these and other
things that will mako for her peace
and prosperity, or if, as in one in
stance that I must mention, they
should allow standing public insti
tutions to run down or be broken
up, then, Mr. Editor, such a little
rival place as Platte Centre might
succeed iu swallowing up a larger
city even than Columbus is. If that
little stream, Shell creek, should bo
utilized for mills and factories, it
what has been neglected or broken
down in Columbus should be built
up there, if ? But I desist
enumerating then Platte Centre
might become the centre of Platte
county.
And now, Mr. Editor, permit me
to ask a few questions. An agri
cultural fair is in almost every
county, and where it exists is a
great institution ; and what a help
i3 it to a city, if conducted right,
and if prosperous as it will be if
conducted properly. The citizens
of ColifTnbus have been represented
to the writer as men that are not
any better than they ought to be, as
a set of men without a public spirit,
men who only wanted to make a
pile and then go again. But his
residence in the county for years,
his mauy business trips to and busi
ness transactions in Columbus have
convinced him of the contrary. So
much the more I am astonished to
see a thing like our county fair go
down. What has become of the So
ciety, what of its grounds? I
merely saw a notice in your valua
ble paper to the effect that Mr.Gross
has bought the lumber. How is thai ?
Whose lumber was it? Who has
sold it? Had anybody power to sell
it? Who is that somebody?
Grounds, buildings, etc., for an ag
ricultural fair can do doubt be very
easily had at 6ome other place and
would help such a place mightily.
Or will Columbus have it ?
But, Mr. Editor, in order not to
weary your readers I must close. I
will only say that I have no person
al or financial interest cither in
Columbus or in Platte Centre. I
have no friends or relatives in either
place. I do not own a foot of ground
in cither. I may even go a little fur
ther and state that one of these new
towns would be a more convenient
market for me, but I am opposed to
monopolies, I am opposed to men
who want to grasp everything and
crush the life out of their fellow
men. For these reasons I write and
for one more, viz: that I am from
principle an
Anti-Anxihilator.

Editor Journal: -In your last
issue I noticed a selection from the
Hastings Gazette in which it is
stated that the planting of box elder
and cottonwood trees is not a com
pliance with the timber culture act,
and were this correct but few per
sons have complied with the act a
most of the timber claims arc so
planted; but the following commu
nication received from the Commis
sioner of tho General Land Office
places it a different light, cj. s.t.
Deimrtjient ok the Interior,)
General Land Office,
Washington, D. C, May 10, 1S79:)
John J. Truman, Esg.Genoa, Neb.,
Sir: In reply to your letter of Sept.
23d last referring to Dr. F. P.
Hough's ''Report on Forestry," page
19, where it is stated that "In rulings
under thi9 act (timber cultuic) the
General Land Office has in some
cases excepted the Osage orange,
box elder, and white willow from
tho classes of timber that may be
planted by those seeking to acquire
title by timber culture" and asking
whether the above applied to box
elder and white willow so far as
your section is concerned. In reply
I have to state that the intention of
tho law is evidently (as its title im
plies) to promote the growth of
timber on the western- prairies, and
that box elder and white willow,
although not of any value for me
chanical or building purposes, arc
still timber within the meaning of
the law, as they are of rapid growth,
acquire considerable size and arc
useful as windbrakes and for fuel.
Very respectfully,
J. A. Williamson,
Commissioner.
A severe storm prevailed in the
Red River country for two days last
week. The cold was reported very
severe, the thermometer falling very
low, from 27 to 40 degrees. The
Pioneer Press reports two children
of Wm Qwens frozen to death, and
two men, II. G. Storkes and James
Nolen arc, missing and are supposed
to he lost in the storm and frozen.
Gen. Grant completed the tour
of the world on the 16th, when ho
arrived in Philadelphia. All along
his route from Columbus, O., he met
enthusiastic greetings from the peo
ple and especially at Pittsburg,
narrisburg and Philadelphia he was
welcomed by thousands of people
and at the latter city he was greeted
by the shouts and cheers of twenty
thousand citizens.

The enrollment for the month just
ended and the average arc both
lower than they should be. This is
attributable to the fear of the spread
of the dipthcria, in a measure, tho'
a cause may be found in the want
of co-operation of the parents with
tho teachers. Parents should see
that their children are regularly iu
their scats and that nothing be al
lowed to prevent their attendance
except the unavoidable. We hope
parents will be careful during the
month upon which wc are entering
to aid the teachers iu this matter and
they may rest assured that their
children will make more rapid ad
vancement and learn to love school
and its duties.
