Small Cattlemen Speak.
UHADRON. Nebraska
To the editor: The small cattle
raisers of Nebraska feel tnat they have
'beta rery mnch maligned and misre
presented by newspaper articles which
hare-been printed all over the country
in the past year or so : acrticles which
have treated of only one Bide of the
qaeri.iun of land fencing and land
leasing. Bat there is another side,
and the small cattle raisers of the
state would be mighty glad to see
their side of the matter printed.
Without speaking of the many years
which most of as nave spent on onr
sand hill ranches; years of hardships
for ourselves and oar families, we
will say that it is generally known
and understood throughout Nebraska,
anyway that the sand hill country.and
the large part of western Nebraska in
general, is nut a farming land, bnt is
esceatially a grazing oountry. It is
generally known and understood that
in that oountry it requires 20 acres
for ovary head of stook to grace upon,
and that one who devotes his time to
farming alone stand mighty little
ehanoe of getting enough to eat.
We are not defending the oattlemen
for fencing the ranges, although we
believe they had good reasons for do
ing so. The greater portion of the
range was fenced, not by the large
cattle raisers, but by the small ones. It
is also true that these fences are all
now either removed or are being re
moved rapidly.
But in removing the small cattle
man sees ruin staring him in the
face. It is the greatest menace wnioh
has ever threatened the live stook
industry of Nebraska. The situa
tion is indeed different from that in
other states whtte the land can be
weed for farming, but in the sand
hills, where there oan be nothing bnt
grazing, the removal of the fences
will, in the opinion of the small cat
tle raisers, simply foroe them ont of
basinets.
At the same time the oattle raisers
know that it is impossible to continue
under the present syrrem and all are
in favor of some kind of a leasing
bill. Almost to a man, the small oattle
raisers of the state will support Presi
dent Roosevelt in any Kind of a leas
ing propostion which will insure the
stability of the business. They
willing to pay for the use of
range and they call attention to
tact that the state of Nebraska
are
the
the
no trouble leasing the school lands
and mating money from them, while
the government gets not a cent, at
from the publio domains.

Commercial Clubs.
Great interest is being manifested
in Nebraska in the coming meeting
of the State Association of Commer
cial dubs, whioh is to be held on
Omaha on February 20th and 21st.
The initial meeting at whioh the as
sociation was organized was held in
Fremont a year ago and there was a
bplendid response to the invitation of
the Fremont Commercial club, indi
cating that three was a very general
desire in the State for some sort of
organization which would enable the
various local commercial bodes to in
terchange ideas and to work together
in a practical fashion upon state wide
subjects. The officers of the State
Association have already received
numerous and enthusiastic accpetancee
from the local bodies throughout the
state, who will send large delegation
to the, Omaha meeting. It is the de
sire of the officers to have representa
tives present, not only from every
organized Commercial club in the
titate, but also from every town that
desires to have a Commercial club
A general invitation has been issued
and there will be little or no formally
about the credentials of delegates, the
one request being that they are Ne
braska business men.
The prinoipal session of tne asso
ciation will be held on Tuesday even
ing and will begin with a dinner ten
dered by the Commercial club of Oma
ha to the delegates. After the dinner
there will be formal addresses as fol
lows: "Central and Western Nebraska.
Its Present and Future". Hon F. AJ
Carrie. Broken Bow; "Shall we Have
a Constitutional Convention?", H M.
Bushnell, Lincoln: "The Coantrv
Commercial Club," Hon. W M. Ro
berts N. Norfolk; Harmony in
Towns," Gnarle6 F. Horner. Lexing
ton ;" Education, its Practical rela
tiont Business". E. O. Garrett, Fre
mont; "Nebraska's Balance Sheet for
1905." Don O. Despain. Lincoln;
"Shall we Send Lawson our Proxies?"
Charles O. Ryan. Grand Island. It
will be seen that this program covers
a wide range of subjects and the char
acter of the speakers who have ac
cepted assignments on it assures the
assooiaton that those subjects will be
treated in an able and interesting
manner.

A disgraceful sreap occurred in this

was badly carved up with a knife
another had his features damaged and
another was so badly frightened that
he has skipped the town. It seems
from the best information obtaniable
by our reporter that Bome parties at
tempted to play a practical joke on a
man known as "Kansas Bill." The
"Englishman." who has been work
ing for U. C. Redman, dressed him
self in women's clothes and inticed
Bill around to the rear of the milli
nery store where several others were
soereted to enjoy the fan- But when
Bill discovered the sell and got the
hoise langh he was "mad" and pro
ceeded to get busy. Realizing that
there were too many for him to
knock out with his dukes, he drew a
knife. When the smoke of battle
cleared away a man from Fullerton
by the name of Miller was bleeding
like a stack hog from several gashes
about his head while his overcoat re
sembled shoe strings, Bill was lying
on his baok gazing blankly at the
stars, with his nose, whioh had come
in contact with Miller's big fist, as
flat as a pancake. And the Englian
man? Well; no one save the man in
the moon saw him again that night,
and when next heard from he was at
Oconee where he had arrived the next
morning weary and foot sore bound
for parts unknown. No notice has
been taken: of the affiar by the autnor

The Favorite Fun F nrnihers
West and Vokes, aad Margaret Daly
Vokes. with their big company of co
medy and musical artists, are booked
for a performance of there clever fun
vehicle "A Pair of Pinks" at the
North Opera house. Tuesday February
27. This duo of comedians as "Per
cy" and "Harold" are always wel
comed. Their particular style and
quality of fun-making invariably
meets the desires of the public, and
in turn the public are hearty in their
reception. "The Pinks," as pre
sented by West Vokes, and nnt
Daly Vokes, are not of the hot-house
denomination, but two shy, stealthy
sleuths, detecting whom they may
arrest and confine in their frolic
colony. They are Pinkerton detec
tives for fun only, and have their
own ideas how crime should be fer
reted out and punished that these
ideas would be ooaourred in by some
of onr famous sleuths. The piece is
not written, with any intention of de

nonsense, music song an frolic, with
