The vegetable kingdom in that region
is, of course, moro forward than here
fruit trees of all kind being in
bloom. They have had a winter, ex
pensive to stock owners, and prices
were for a while low, corn selling at
75 cts., and bay shipped from Ne
braska, at $18 a ton, but now, since
pasture is so near at hand, prices on
stock have become firm.

One of our most successful potato
raisers thinks they will bxing a good
price this year, probably not so high
as last year, yefeoough to pay hand
somely for the expense and trouble
of raising them. He reasons that far
mers, as a rule, attempt to raise only
about as many as they themselves can
use, leaving the market demand to be
supplied by the small surplus product
of the farms, and the regular potato
raisers. Last year prices were gov
erned in good part by the fact that
the crop was short ia many' places in
the east.
We sometimes speak of the Ne
braska zephyr, but other states, go
ahead of us. Fearful storms .aad .cy
clones visited a number of different
localities on last Thursday and Friday ;
in Kansas blowing down houses,
killing a number of citizens, and des
troying millions of dollars worth of
property. At Clide Station, Mich
igan, a terrible hurricane swept over
the country blowing down' houses
and killing citizens. Near Keokuk,
Iowa, much damage was done to
property. At Kalamazoo, -Michigan,
the storm was fearful, blowing down
houses and killing people. At Ash
ton, Mo., the storm was alike severe,
demolishing bouses, fences and trees.

Ed. Journal: Thinking that a
short communication from this por
tion of the universe might be of in
terest to at least a few of your many
readers, "I now 6eat myself with pen
in band," or words to that effect, to
jot down a few words.
The weather is most sal nbrous now,
and the almonds, apricots and other
trees are in blossom, and the birds
keep np continuous strains of me
lodious notes. On the 24th Inst., the
thermometer touched 89 which is
the warmest weather I have exper
ienced here since my arrival, on the
9th of August last. Many people
have an idea that owing to the warm
winters in- southern .California, or
more especially at San Diego, that the
summer season roust be intensely
hot. In this conjecture, however,
they are at fault. The mercury but
very seldom rises above 85, although
I am told it has been known to get
higher, thau 100. .This extreme
beat is caused by the "desert winds,"
which but seldom occurs. And a
person does not notice the hot weather
here, as it would be felt in the "states."
At Fort Tuma, about 150 miles east
of here, which is sometimes known as
"hell's half-acre," the thermometer
sometimes reaches 130 degrees in the
shade ; yet they have never known of
a case of sunstroke in that locality.
Hucksters are peddling radishes,
carrots, beets, turnips, parsnips, sal
sify, spinach, leeks, onions, cabbage,
cauliflower, and numerous other veg
etables. Strawberries are in market,
and green peas are about ready to
eat.
We have bad abont nine inches of
rainfall here this season which being
more than the average, promised an
extra large crop. Orange and lemon
trees are loaded with golden fruit and
the outlook is promising for a pros
perous year.
Although we an two mile from
San Diego Bay (we would not think
it half that distance), I can look
from my window, see almost its en
tire length, which is some twelve
miles, and can see beyond to the broad
Pacific a beautiful picture. To the
south a dozen miles away can be seen
the mountains of Lower California
beyond the United States boundary
line.
In the. bay in front of National
City, are lying at anchor three ves
sels, a Bhip, a barkautire, and a
schooner. They are loaded with
lumber, and railway material for the
California Southern, the new rail
road from this place to San Bernar
dino, 116 miles, where it connects
with the Southern Pacific, -and 'Whea
completed (in about two months) will
make the shortest and .most feasible
ronte to Southern California.
There are several Nebraska men in
and about San Diego, (which'is" four
miles up thjabay from National City);
I have .met- parties from Lincoln,
Aurora,1 and other Nebraska points'.
They are all looking after climate
of ywhich i'thisi country produces, a
bountiful supply. .. - t Bovk

ings of the Farmers' Alliance conven
tion held iu Henry's Hall March 31,
1882. HI Olson was elected chairman
and J. J. Maughan secretary. J. S.

"Walker E. M. Squire, J. J. fiuuuhan.

The following named persons were
selected as Co. Central Committee,
viz:
Creston H. Olson.
Grand Prairie H. F. Spoerry.
Sherman Herman Pie fen.
Lost Creek G. W.Shafer.
Walker Daniel Wenrich.
Pleasant Valley P. Coleman.
Burrow James Burrows.
Bismarck Henry Rickets.
The following resolutions were
passed : We make no warfaro upon
corporations for their destruction, for
we consider them a necessity. They
are creations of the State, and the
laws of their being and action are
prescribed by the State. They can
have no other rights and exercise no
powers but 6uch as are conferred up
on them by their creator. Those who
have the public spirit and ability to
acquire commercial enterprises of all
kinds shonld be allowed a generous
return for their investments! We
have no sympathy with those who
wonld cripple or obstruct corpora
tions in the legitimate exercise of
their functions. We would be as
earnest in protecting their rights as
we are determined in compelling
them to perform their duties.
Be it
Resolved, That whenever corpora
tions bring their combined influence
and employ their aggregated wealth
to corrupt the source of their exist
ence and invoke the departments of
Governments to aid them in their
cruel and wicked work of enslaving
the people, and when they seek to
tax the bread and butter, the clothing,
school-books and ail other necessa
ries of life; when their officers form
rings Jo rob their stock-holders ; when
they select a few men in the commun
ity to enjoy their special favors and
designate others to be objects of their
displeasure; when they discriminate
for or against individuals or locali
ties, when they employ their ill-gotten
gains to control primary meetings
to elect legislators, judges,- governors,
congressmen and presidents ; appoint
committees and purchase legislatures;
when they become a syndicate of
of thieves to rob the laboring classes
of their legitimate profits ; when they
attempt to define the rights, and pre
scribe the duties of every man, woman
and child ; when they hire the pulpit
and press to justify and defend their
unnumbered villianies; when do 'all
these things and more, too, it is time
to sound the note of alarm and call
upon all friends of juBtice and free
government to form alliances and
leagues, offensive and defensive,
to demand of our State and national
government such legislation as will
secure to the people the rights of
which they are deprived.
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this alliance -that it will support or
nominate for .office none but true
anti-monopoly men, men who will
pledge themselves to stand solid if
elected for the principles advocated
by the anti-monopolists of this State.
Resolved, That as the R. K- com
panies own considerable land in this
couuty and it is understood that they
have made request to have the same
withdrawn from the tax list and as
the farmer buying the same is taxed
as soon as the land is entered in bis
name, or their homesteads after five
years' residence on the same, even If
they have not taken out their' patent;
therefore it is the sense of this' Alli
ance that the R. R. Co's be compelled
to pay their 'jost portion of tax on
lands held by them, or the same re
vert back to the government to be
'open for actual settlers.
Resolved; That as taxe6 are so high
as to be unbearable, that it takes most
of what a ' farmer can raise to pay
them, we request our County Com
missioners to be very moderate in
county expenses, and allow no bills
only such as are justly due.
Resolved, That any officer that be
trays his trust shall be ostracised.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse
the resolutions adopted at the Hast
ings Convention, held Jan. 25, 1882.
J. J. Maugiian,
Secretary.

.Editor Journal: Permit me to
add my list of items to your columns
ia the interest of Lost Creek at the
Junction.
Not much change has taken place
in the trade department in the past
few months, but the people have
been quite active in other directions.
During the winter an excellent day
school was taught in the district;
lyceums occupied an occasional even
ing and I belieye some other literary
entertainments were given and each
Sabbath was occupied by one or two
sermons and Sabbath school. The
clergy from Columbus, generally offi
ciating. A new church organization
was perfected in February, and is now
a permanent institution of that place.
It is called the "Christian, or Disciple
church." Thus the town (figuratively
speaking) seems to stand on a proper
foundation. The group of buildings
at the station have a peaceful, inviting
look to the passer-by. One wonders
if at no distant day the site, with its
promising location, will not draw
around it a town of no mean propor
tions and capabilities. This predic
tion does not seem so vague, when it
is taken into account that this place is
the junction of two important rail
roads, one of which the Norfolk
branch, connects with leading
branches of the North and East, and
the Albion branch is faBt reaching out
into the heart of the great Northwest,
and last, bnt not least' of all, is the
line which connects this junction with
the U. P. and Columbus, ten miles to
the cast. The most cheering indica
tions however, are fonnd iu the in
creased interest which the farming
community have developed of late.
We are told that many who thought
seriously of selling out two months
ago have since come to the wiser con
clusion. of sticking to the farm, and
making it profitable, either by the old
method or by an addition of stock,
this region being admirably adapted
to this purpose, as grass is abundant
arid corn and root crops are easily
produced and it is a good shipping
point.
In the line of improvements, on
two farms ou the Genoa road which
are in fact a part of the town, we find
Luther Cbapin building a new dwelling-bouse
in his grove on the east
side of his farm, opposite the Station
He has a good farm and is aware
of It, having recently refused a liberal
offer for the whole of it, butprefered
keeping one-half and making a home
thereon.
Passing along to the next farm,
which lies a little north of west of
this one, we will pause to give a brief
description. The buildings are new
and neat, the house white, of good
proportions and well arranged for
comfort. The lady of the house was
quite enthusiastic in regard to her
house plants and house grounds. The
latter include an ample space, and are
being adorned with evergreens and
flowering shrubs, which with the ad
dition of annuals will be a joy to the
possessor, and a delight to the behol
der. If some one is saying "these
things do not make bread and butter
in Nebr.," just come with us to the
barn and yards, and you shall see
something that will help make the
butter, at least, viz : fifty young cows
all of which will pay well before the
year closes. This, we consider, a
nucleus for accumulating wealth; as
a matter of course a pen of pigs will
go into market, aided largely by the
products of the dairy. The stock
yards are 'connected with the barn,
have sheds across the north end, are
supplied with a stock pump, salt and
water troughs etc. The barn is sub
stantially built, having a solid floor
dividing the upper aud lower stories.
The ground floor is capacitated to hold
six horses and has also a department
for a carriage. The out buildings are
not all, supplied yet, but will be. The
improvements have all been put on
'within the last eight months. The
faim comprises 160 acres with an ad
ditional 80 for range. On the home
farm, a good quantity of ash and
other forest tree seed was planted last
fall, and will in time help to make an
ornamental as well as profitable ac
quisition to Lost Creek. The farm
is owned and occupied by a young
couple by the name of Downs, the
husband being from Marshall, Mich.,
an enterprising young man, and the
wife, nee Mies Bingbam,one of Platte
County's former school teachers, and
an estimable lady. My letter is al
ready too long, but I could not resist
the wish to speak of some of Ne
braska's pleasant rural homes.

Mr. John Eyman of Wattsville had
a very narrow escape from being shot
on Thursday last, in his own house ;
hejwas in) the act of taking a cap
(that wouldn't go off) from a loaded
metalic cartridge when (as it appears
they all do) it went off, and as luck
would hfive it, but- a portion of the
charge grazed his fingers, lacerating
them.'whilit the shell cut a severe
wound in the palm of the band. The
patient is doing as well as can be ex
pected, under the directions of Dr.
W. Edwards of this town, who is now
recovered from the serious affliction
he labored under three weeks past,
and is about again without his crutch

Ab a frequent visitor of our school,
I think I am able to judge of the im
provement made and the thorough
knowledge acquired and the rapid
advancement of the pupils, as worthy
of note. This school has been in
charge of Miss Phoebe Schrack for
the past three successive terms, and
parents and pupils are well pleased.
The closing exercises of last term,
Friday, March 31st, consisted of
dialogues, essays, etc., and showed a
remarkable degree of efficiency in the
pupils. Miss Schrack seems to have
the peculia'r faculty of instilling her
own euthusiam into the hearts and
minds of her pupils, hence her mar
velous success. I am sorry the Ed
itor of the Jo u un at. could not bo
present to hear and see for himself.
I do not know where Miss Schrack
intends to teach this summer, but
wherever her Hues may fall we are
positive the school will show marked
enthusiasm in their studies.
