The pension policy of the administra
tion seems to evade the execution of
the laws legally enacted, says the Inter
Ocean, and to -send pensioners to death
under a cowardly spy system that would

face of the globe. Every spy turned
loose will try to earn bis salary, and
lying will be the cheapest asset of the
Democratic party.
Thk Wyoming oil fields are attracting
the attention of capitalists. There is
evidence going to show that the oil re
sources of Wyoming surpass those of
Pennsylvania. The district abound
ing in oil will soon be tapped by the
Northwestern railroad, when it may be
found practicable to ship oil from that
territory as far east as the Mississippi
river. It is said that this oil is particu
larly adapted to fuel.
The North and South railroad cong
ress, to be held in Lincoln June 28th, is
receiving encouraging comment from
many leading northwestern papers, and
all seem to have entered the field of re
search with a willing spirit. All the
states which come within the survey of
the resolution passed by the legislature
are anxious that something be done that
will insure the building of a railroad
from the Dakotas to the gulf and many
representative men will be present be

A CALIFORNIA LETTER,
Bat Mostly Treating on Nebraska Subjects
Mr. J. II. Reed Compares Pioneer Flatte
Coast jr Days With the Prosperity of To-Day
The Canal, Etc.
Rivebside, CaL, May 27, 1893.
Deab Jocbxaii : Your familiar face
reminds me. I find the pleasant recol
lections of the many years near Colum
bus come easily and vividly to mind.
The city was rather slow in putting on
the graces Of fine architecture, good
streets and other public improvements,
but her surroundings were always mag
nificent. Those grand rolling prairies
.are unexcelled in the world. I shall
never forget the earliest impressions they
made upon me. It was seventeen years
k ago with my friend J. E. North that I
took .my first ride over them. I had
seen' all the states east of the Missouri
.- river, but from the dead-level, black,
olid plains of Illinois to the rock-ribbed
- bills of New England I had never seen
' .so beautiful a landscape as this. I have
always been glad I saw some of those
grand plains before they were ever
marred by plow or fence, by building or
tree. They stirred me somewhat as the
ocean, that grandest object in nature,
stirred me in more recent years. Those
who came later can never know the in
describable beauty at this season of the
year of that vast expanse now dotted
with homes and cut up into farms. I
think there were three houses then be
tween Mr. Turner's and Shell creek, and
.on either side as we drove along not a
sign of habitation so far as the eye could
reach. I remember very well with what
interest I used to watch the evolution
-of farms and homes. We would see a
litUe.stir on some heretofore unmolested
. spbt- of ' prairie. In a few days four
walls of sod with a crude roof, or a little
ouare box of a cheap house, would
Bark the place. Soon the barn (?) would
appear near, byr, composed of willow
poles supported by great forked cotton
wood posts, the sides and roof of slough
-. hay. - Then 'a dark patch on the prairie,
which on nearer approach proved neatly
. tuned sod, where a little garden stuff
aad a patch of Btraggling sod corn soon
' asade their appearance. The cow would
be tied Bear by and a pig or two be root
ies; in a little movable board enclosure.
' Near by was a windlass with rope passing
over a high pulley which brought water
frost the deep well in the long, thin, zinc
bseket. Every early comer to Flatte
- comity has seen scores of these little
.bsginnings, and if at all observant has
. seen many of them develop gradually
bat quite wonderfully. He has seen the
little one or two roomed cabin displaced
' by a commodious farm house, with many
comforts and conveniences, and some
of real elegance. The rude hay shed by
. a large, well built, neatly painted barn;
.' ia Buoe of a single cow feeding upon
' tbs elide liauted by the lariat rope, he
has seen first the little bunch of. stock
kept by the herd boy and then the well
fenced pastures in which grazed the high
bred herd now counted by the scores and
hundreds. The wind-mill has taken the
place of the homely well crank, and in
stead of the single trough by the well is
the great tank and often an elaborate
system of water pipes deliver water
wherever needed. Instead of the irregu
lar patch of sod corn are great solid
fields of this standard cereal and of the
small grains. Not all have prospered ;
some handicapped by ill health; some
by an inordinate itching for public office;
some by too frequent visit to the ruinous
saloon, have got on badly. But in spite
of the general depression in the business
of agriculture for several years, my belief
is that the majority of Flatte county
farmers have prospered. The gradual
increase of land values, it is true, has
been an important factor in the general
prosperity, and the time will soon come
when improved methods and new enter
prises will be needed to insure the con
tinuance of this prosperity. I think all
will admit that both Columbus and the
county are severely hampered during a
considerable portion of each year by bad
roads. I have often thought of this
during the past months as I have
watched with great interest the estab
lishment of state and national organiza
tions designed to co-operate in a general
forward movement for better country
highways. The evil is too great to be
remedied by our present system. The
county and state must take the first step
towards radical improvement. The ex
hibition at Chicago this summer in a
special department where not only the
appliances for making and repairing
roads will be shown, but examples of
roads themselves in various stages of
improvement, will prove an object lesson
of inestimable value to the country. I
cannot think that the people of Flatte
county will be behind in an effort to cre
ate a public sentiment necessary to ini
1 tiate and carry on this most important
movement.
I had always hoped to see the obstrep
erous Loup tamed and put to work at
Columbus in my day. That it is to be
some time there is no doubt in my mind,
and none that it will prove the com
mencement of a new era for both city
and county. I know how much easier
it is to talk and advise about such enter
prises than it is to find the capital and ex
ecutive ability to set it in motion. But
since being in this country where rain
falla during but a few weeks of the year,
but where the soil which without it is
almost worthless, when once wedded to
water is the richest known, and when
enterprises for storing the melted snow
of the mountains, turning the water
from river courses or bringing it from
the vast underground reservoirs, carry
ing it for scores of miles and distribut
ing it over vast areas, are constantly and
successfully being carried out, the pro
ject of utilizing the Loup seems much
less formidable to me. The little fruit
farm on which is our present home only
seven years ago was a part of a barren
tract of some two thousand acres, none
of which could have been sold for more
than $15, and much of it yet govern
ment land not considered worth home
steading. Water had been brought
upon adjoining lands lower down but it
was generally thought the difficulties in
the way of getting it upon these were
insurmountable. One man thought
differently, and for years tried to inter
est other men and capital without avail.
Finally he undertook the enterprise
single handed, spending every dollar he
was worth upon it and then going large
ly in debt. He was a man of sterling
character. His neighbors had faith in
him and finally in his project, and begun
to "lend a hand." Well, the short of it
is, to-day that almost worthless tract of
land has become one of the most valua
ble and notable bits of land in Southern
California. There is scarcely an acre of
it but is already in young orchards, and
beautiful houses are dotting it all over.
The enhanced value given to the entire
tract by that man's faith and enterprise
is more than you would believe possible
should I give figures. I simply speak of
this to illustrate what indomitable faith
and energy will accomplish when wisely
applied even to projects of great difficul
ty, if they are based upon real merit.
Whether the time is ripe for it to be
utilized may be a question. That the
cheap and almost unlimited power of
the diverted Loup will be utilized
soon or later, vastly to the advantage
of Columbus and its environment, to ray
mind is not a question.
Your former citizens, Mr. D. D. Pick
ett and A. C. Pickett and their families,
are well and greatly enjoy their new
home. They are building a beautiful
modern house in their five-acre oratige
grove. A. C. P. has'bought ten acres on
the foot hills a little distance away which
he is to plant to lemons.
Mrs. Janson, sister of your Mrs.
Heater, a resident of Riverside, starts in
a few days to make her Columbus friends
a visit, the first since coming here a
teacher ten years ago. Some people dis
like to hear of exceptional interesting
features of othor places than their own.
I caution such against talking much
with Mrs. Janson.
I wonder if oranges have been plenty
and cheap with you this season. They
certainly should have been. Riverside
alone has already shipped 2,900 car loads,
and not all have gone yet.
My only excuse for this long letter is
the kindly interest in my old neighbors
and friends, which I find undiminished
by time or distance.
