Files of the Journal April 2,1873.
Our young friends, Guy G.'and George
. BarnuBi, are putting in one hundred
and thirty acres of wheat. They sow
the Russian, which they regard as alto
gether the beat variety for both quality
and quanity.

It has been suggested that it would be
well for those who have any influence
with the weather clerk to prevail with
him to secure a few warm rains sad a
little less wind. We have never yet,
however, seen the day nor the hour but
somebody growled at the weather.
W. D. Wilson, a new settler on Shell
Greek, desiring to form an acquaintance
with the Journal, proposed to read fifty
two scmbers on trial He' informs us
that he has some experience in the man
agement of sheep, and will begin at his
home by keeping and raising sheep.
We have no doubt but that the business
will prove profitable in Nebraska.
The first case of boots ever shipped
from Columbus to Omaha went last
week. They were manufactured by M.
T. Kinney for one of the Omaha dealers
and we predict that there will be call
for more of the same sort. The boots
are a number one article, and are famish
ed at a price sufficiently low for retail
dealars to make a good profit. We are
glad to know that Mr. Kinney's business
is increasing at a rapid rate. Columbus
might, just as well as not, furnish
boots and shoes for all Nebraska cities,
at least. Living is comparatively cheap
here, rents are low, and hands plenty.
Now is the time for farmers to con
sider how to obtain their fuel for next
year. After some little experience, we
believe it is the cheapest and beet plan
for every farmer who has not grawing
timber of his own, to plant an extra
amount of corn for his own use, and
some to sell to his neighbors for fuel,
and thus spare, for a few weeks, the
young timber now growing, which in a
short time will produce an abundance
for fuel and other purposes. We must
remember that corn can be produced
every year in Nebraska, and that it takes
several years to grow a tree. It is a
matter of wisdom as well as economy to
use the corn and spare theyouag trees.

Negotiations have been entered into
between the owners and promoters of
the Columbus power canal project, and
the General Electrio company to con
struct the first of the series 'of power
canals from the mouth of the Loup at
Columbus down the Platte valley to
Seymour park, southwest of this city.
Years ago the surveys were made several
times and seemed as if the time had
arrived when the project would carry
through, but it never has. The gener
al electric company is practically the
electrio light trust. The companies
throughout the country that it does not
control directly by selling them supplies.
It is a powerful corporation with capital
behind it to do business, whenever it
wants to. The Columbus promoters of
the company have been in New York
several times recently, and representa
tives of the company have been over the
ground within the past month. It is
asserted that the negotiations will either
result in a contract, or a permanent dis
agreement, the coming week. The pro
posed Omaha & Nebraska Central rail
way, being promoted as an electric line
from Omaha to Hastings, is allied with
this project, having an option on the
proposed power plant for its power.

Abram B. Cartridge, very drunk, wa3
picked up by the police force from the
gutter on South Main street, says a
dispatch from Waterbury. Conn.. In
his hand he clasped an open Bible and
he spoke to the officers strangely, in

him to his fall.
"It is 'so full of Inconsistencies." ho
declared. "I learn its truths and am
uplifted then I discover that its
truths are false, and I sink to the
depths. How can I deliberately stay
in my right mind, judge, when I find
that the foundation of salvation is
bullded on sand, and good liquor,
which will make me forget It, is so
cheap?"
Cartridge was sent to jail for 30
days.
