LINfOIA, Sept. 17.-i8peclal.i - l-ibor Commissioner Ity.ler luis returned from a trip through western Nebraska extend, tig aa far as Alliance. Crawford ami Chsdrnn, j and rrports finding some things that eui prised him. "t'p there," said Mr. Hydrr. "I learned that the newcomers on Klnkuld claims are teaching the older settlors the trick of dairying. They bring; cows and at once they begin to sell cream. In the town of MuUen, for Instance, there are three cream buyers who take in a large amount of cream, every week, paying cash. This mentis present comfort and eventual pros perity for the settlers on the mlle-sriuare lots.: At Alliance Is a little creamery that turns out liO.nrx) pounds of butter a month In the busy season. The product that can be Spared from home consumption Is shipped to New York at a profitable price. There Is a merchant and manufacturer In Alli ance, Mr. Newberry, who ships dipping tanks to North Dakota and to Texas at ills own price. He carriea a stock 'of Jioo.oofi Value, which would not be at all suspected until you go through his store and manu facturing plant. "Alliance, too, is building an elegant new high school, and the Catholics are Just finishing a three-story school for day and boarding; pupils. The old school building In Alliance has the; best parking and flower garden before Its 'doors that I have seen In the state; not as extensive a display of trees aa Omaha, Lincoln and some other towns, but the best ensemble of trees and shrubbery In small extent of space. "At Hyannls, Hemingford and similar small town prosperity and progress are evident to the most casual observer. And K la little wonder, for cattle, from can cers to beef cattle, are bringing good prices. All the cattlemen are kicking for Is a. little better treatment from the rail road" In the handling of cattle, but that la hound to come through negotiation. "Potatoes bringing 40 to BO cents delivered on track count up Into money right fast; and they' raise lots of the finest kind of tubers up In that country. When the pro duceraJbecome alive to the need of organ ization : for handling. and Belling the crop they will do even better than they are now. "Pasture has been excellent In the state everywhere this season, and the hay crop la entirely satisfactory. It will represent a bit wad of money this year In Nebraska. But, aside from pasture, alfalfa Is getting a strangle hold on heretofore ' waste land In western. Nebraska, and the Investigator can find corn fields and grain fields that are quite satisfactory as crop exhibit?, and that will pay decidedly good Interest to their owners. Land has not Jumped or boomed In value.J but It has had a very healthy progress .upward In price. There la an Increasing dearth of scrup stock and throughout western Nebraska you will find as fine animals as can be picked up anywhere. Pippins; la general, under gov ernment supervision, with resulting good to all concerned. Sheep growing will' have an Increasing development every year out In that section, now that regularity of farming operations Is taking the place of promiscuity of stock raising. The stead ly growing number, of. settlers Is bringing thla about. "Western Nebraska Is fast becoming a picture of progressive settlement, and In telligent husbandry. It Is losing rapidly the uninviting appearance of a few years ago, and it haa no use for poor houses. Hchools are its most numerous Jewels, arid homes Its most satisfying deooratlons. You hear no whining about hard times, but you do hear continual kicking about the scarc ity of labor, both In town and country. Idle men honestly seeking work cannot re main Idle up In that section. "Crawford has great expectations from the proposed enlargement of Fort Robln on, which seem well baaed. And it haa two stores that cannot be surpassed In Omaha er Lincoln. One of them is a meat market and grocery, built on a scientific plan, that Is not evcelled by anything I know of." Novel Damage Bolt.

The fish Is on exhibition In the office of the clerk of the supreme court, and the lawyer, visitor or what not who strolls into the office and falls to give expression to some surprise at the enormous size of the fish, will get little attention from the clerk. The fish Is forty-nine and one-half inchea long, and was caught with an or dinary line and hook. It took Mr. Lindsay an hour and a half to land him, and sev eral Inches of skin from his hands and arms. Mr. Lindsay will have a glass case made for Mr. Fish and place him along with many other choice pieces of furniture In his home. The wake will be kept up In the office, however, for several days.

Sorensen, a peaceable and Industrious farmer living a few miles west of Dannebrog, seems to be the victim of a sensational and very malicious persecu tion. Just a year ago the dwelling on the farm burned down in broad midday, while the family was at church a couple of miles distant. While this fire was at the time considered mysterious, no definite suspic ion was attached to anyone. Recently Mr. Sorensen has received several anonymous letters containing rather abusive language and covert threats. Last Monday night. Just before he was to have his small grain threshed, his two settings of stacks, located in two different places, burned down. This was a case of certain incendiarism. By putting several thliics together Mr. Soren sen and bin friends have their suspicions strongly directed to a certain person and feel sure that the fire of last year Is from the same origin. The Identity of the sus pect and what steps will be taken for legal prosecution have not yet developed. NEBRASKA FR0MDAY TO DAY Qanlnt nntl Cnrlons Feature nf Life In a Rnpldlj- Growing State.
