right for wet seasons.

It is not a subject of much interest
to Journal readers this year, but it may
be well for them so that another season,
when wheat and corn are nearly together
in price, wheat is the more economical
feed of the two for growing cattle, but
feed mixed of both grains is better than
either separately for fattening pnrposes.

The canal surveyors have nearly all
been afflicted with a sort of epizootic
Roseiter, Gottschalk, Brock, McCoy and
Miner, all of them, in fact, except Rec
tor, who has so far withstood the pres
sure. It is laughable to hear them talk
about each other, their throats yet sore
and feverish. They think the cause of
it is in going through the dry grass and
weeds, clouds of pollen rise and fill them
up to such an extent that they cough,
spit and swear, alternately or simulta
neously, as the fit seizes them.
Miss Mamie Mallalieu gave farewell
party last evening in honor of Miss
Maud Naylor, of Columbus, who will

was the order of the evening until 12

of an elegant repast. At a late hour the
party broke up and all left for home
after having spent a very pleasant even

soon be visiting in the city again.

Harry Kiley is the name of the man
who stole a valise from Mrs. Hannah
Richardson at the depot Tuesday of la6t
week. By the promptness of U. P. de
tective Vizzard, who happened to be at
hand, he was arrested at Schuyler,
brought back and sentenced by Judge
Hudson to 30 days on bread and water.
It seems that during the riots at South
Omaha he was struck -on the head, the
skull being indented. Dr. Arnold says
he is in bad shape.
A writer in the Platte Center Signal,
referring to the bit of a discussion about
the canal, has been wondering where the
son waier or tne artesian wells comes
from; whether it is not from the Mis
souri river, between certain places in
Dakota (where much of the volume of
the stream disappears from view), and if
so, why could not this underlying
stream be tapped by other wells and
made to feed canals for power and irri
gation? By all means, let us have good
water in all the varied ways.
At 3 o'clock Thursday morning fire
was discovered on the outside of A. W.
Armstrong's house occupied by Mr.
. A A m Jt " mu
Stein, within a few rods of the grand
stand at the ball park. Mr. Stein ran to
the engine house of the waterworks and
turned in an alarm, which got everybody
out of bed and the fire department were
soon on the move, but the neighbors
had the fire out before they arrived.
Some of the boys think the fire was set
to frighten the old man. which thev
certainly succeeded in doing.
A lady who thought she had more
than her share of trouble, took paper
and ink and wrote out in plain language
her fears, doubts and misgivings, and
laid the list away. Happening upon it
after a few months, she again carefully
read the inventory, and found that not
one of the things apprehended had yet
appeared to trouble her. An accurate
list of grievances is certainly one of the
first steps toward their remedy in oth
er words, sensible people will always
wish to know the actual facts, and make
their calculations accordingly.
Why is it that there is so much pro-
fanity on the streets, in various public
places, places of business, etc? Of all
vile practices, which one is there that
has less sense or decency than that of
profanity, and what manner of excuse is
there for it? If forty prominent citizens
of Columbus, who have been in the
habit of using profane language on
noarly every occasion during the day,
will put a restraint upon themselves
against this abominable practice for one
day and sincerely make the effort to
have their speech free from this offence,
we know that they will have a rich re
ward, in more ways than one.
M. J. Thompson of St. Edward
called at The Journal office one day
last week. His irrigation of six acres of
land has attracted no little attention,
and he tells us that too much cannot be
said of irrigation. Get the water by the
best available way. His horse-power
pump, with which he got a supply of
water from the Beaver cost him, all told,
about $60. It was three days' work to
put water on to the six acres, and the
growth was all that could be desired,
not only of potatoes, but other things
grown; the crop is estimated at about
150 bushels to tho acre. Another sea
son he hopes with better facilities to
irrigate more land.
A. Anderson not only enjoyed his
outing in Colorado as an investment of
health, but ho also learned something
of the country that may be valuable to
Borne Journal readers. He rode over
300 miles on horseback and saw a goodly
number of irrigation ditches. Crops
looked very fine where irrigated, wheat
40 to GO bushels to the acre, other crops
in proportion. Alfalfa was looking very
fine; they were cutting the second crop
and the third one will be cut in Septem
ber. Potatoes seem to be their most
valuable crop this season, yielding 300
to 700 bushels per acre. From Ft. Col
lins alone they expect to ship this season
8,000 car loads; these are worth
8200,000 in the fields, say 8200 an acre.
The water does it. They handle their
potatoes mostly by machinery and there
fore much cheaper than by hand. Mr.
Anderson also says they raised a splen
did crop of apples and other fruit. He
cannot speak too highly of irrigation.
Friday night last there was con
siderable disturbance southwest of the
city near the river south of Sturgeon's.
To those who heard the racket, it seemed
a drunken brawl; to the officers and
others who tried to find out the true in
wardness of affairs Saturday morning,
it looked as though some crime had been
committed. A place was found where
cooking bad been done, the remains
being scattered around; two large pools
of blood were also found, with footprints,
which, with the noises of the night, was
enough to show that something was at
least wrong. While the officers were
making their investigation, a drayman
came along for four beer kegs belonging
to one of the saloons in the city. And
this is the state of affairs that we found
when out hunting down the report that
two men had been killed on the railroad
track Friday night. The officers say
they have endeavored to break up the
Bale of liquor in this way, but still the
offender continues.
The Platte County Farmers' club

Irrigation as it concerns us locally, was
the subject of discussion, opened by R.
J. Stewart in the affirmative. He also
gave us an entertaining report of the
different methods and cost of getting
water on the land. Negative by A. W.
Clark. He claims that there is a vast
difference in the prices received for pro
ducts of the arid lands of the west, re
claimed by irrigation, and ours and the
difference in the lay of the land as much
against us. Instead of current events

Platte County Farmers' Club, Aug.
31st, 1891
It is not best to crosB the bridge
before you come to it, but it is well
enough to be provident, think a little
before hand, plan something for the
future. With the corn crop a compara
tive failure and of course no cobs of this
year's raising, the fnel question becomes
quite a problem to many farmers. Of
course those who have timber need have
no misgivings, because in a few weeks
they can get out wood enough for the
season, and right here it ie well to note
that when Nebraska farmers get started
again they should not rest until at least
one-third their acreage is planted to
trees of some kind they come handy
on so many occasions.

Board m
met at 9 o'clock a. m. pursuant to ad
journment, Hon. Niels Olson chairman, G. W.
Phillips clerk. Holl call and fall board present.
TheJ petition of W. M. Mason and others for
tho Tacation of a part of the Cross Line road.
waa on motion of 8np'r Elliott rejected. Snp'r
Thomazin Toting no.
August Dudschens appeared bofora the board
complaining of their action in the allowance of
his claim for damages caused by location of the
Sauterroad. Sap'rs KJeman, Pollard and Lisco
appointed a committee to inrestigate and re
port. Hon. Leander Qerrard cow appeared before
the board and called their attention to the fact
that owing to the almost complete failure of the
crop the present year a great number of tho
people of this county would necessarily bo in
destitute circumstances and while in this pleas
ant weather we are apt to treat the matter lightly
but when winter is upon us and fuel, food, win
ter clothing and fecit for stock must be provided
then will we realize the wisdom of taking early
action looking toward tho providing of some
kind of public work and thereby helping the
people to help themselves. He called attention
to the inadequate provision of our laws per
mitting the expenditure of public money for the
support of the poor; of the absence of any stat
ute authorizing the issuance of bonds for the
purpose of improving highways, thereby fur
nishing employment for the unemployed and
suggested that in view of the existing condi
tions, that inasmuch as a company had recently
been formed for the purpose of constructing an
irrigation and power canal from the western
boundary of the county to the eastern at an esti
mated cost of S200.00C, and as the law recognized
such enterprises aa works of internal improve
ment and authorized the issuance of bonds in
aid thereof, that there be submitted to the elec
tors of this county a proposition to issue the
bonds of tho county in aid of said canal enter,
priso in the sum of $150,000 or such an amount
as may be deemed necessary, said bonds to draw
interest at the rate of 5 per cent and tc be paya
ble 30 years from their date, on condition that
said canal company will execute and deliver to
the county first mortgage bonds on its entire
plant for the like amount of $150,000 payable 80
years from their date and drawing interest at the
rate of 5 per cent after IS years from their date
and the furthor condition that the work upon
said canal will be commenced at once and pro
ceeded with as fast as circumstances will permit
and that said work shall be done by the people
of the several townships of the county in pro
portion to their assessed valuation on certificate
from the supervisor of each township showing
that they are entitled to receive the work and
that reasonable wages shall be paid therefor.
He suggested that no action be taken at this
meeting but that each supervisor discuss the
subject with the people of their respective town
ships and that the loard adjourn to an early
date to dif uss the matter.
It was then moved and carried by a unanimous
vote that when this board adjourns it be till
Tuesday, Sept. 4, 139J.
Moved bj Sup'r Lisco that each supervisor be
directed to call a mass meeting in their respec
tive townships on Saturday, Sept. 1st, at 2
o'clock p. m. at their usual polling place for the
purpose of discussing the question. Carried.
A motion by Hup'r Speicu to now adjourn was
lost.
County Att'y OondrinK submitted a proclama
tion calling the special election in Columbus
township and upon motion action upon same
was deferred until the next meeting of the
board.
Tho county attorney, to whom was referred
bond of W. J. Irwin as road overseer in Wood
ville township as to whether a person holding
the office of justice of the peace could qualify as
road overseer, submitted a verbal report where
upon it was moved that the bond be not approv
ed, and that same be returned with the endorse
ment that it is the sense of this board that it is
against public policy for the offices of justices
of the peace and road overseer to bo held by one
and the samo person. Carried.
The consideration in the matter of the "Vesper
road" in Shell Creek township was on motion
laid over till the next meeting of the board.
In the matter of tho "Oertsch road" the prayer
of the petitioners was granted and county sur
veyor instructed to survey and plat same accord
ing to law. Also same action in regard to the
"Compromise road" in Monroe township.
In the matter of the petition of Peter Johnson
and others for a public road in Walker township
the prayer of the petitioners was granted and
cieric instructed to publish notice according to
law.
