THE COURIER
"In the Btato of New York the drought continued bo long that the
dairy interests were materially affected and the pasturage almost
entirely dried up. Reports from the different counties of this Btate,
and I hare taken the trouble to make careful inquiry, are to the
effect that the people are already helping themselves. Many coun
ties hare voted bonds for the construction of irrigation ditches and
farmers who have been unfortunate enough to lose their crops; will
have sufficient employment during the winter to support their
families. There is no doubt that some help will be necessary, but
the state of Nebraska is perfectly ablo to take care of its own affairs
and other states that have suffered from forest tires, from drought,
trom floods and other calamities, have all they can do to take care of
themselves.
"Regarding business in Nebraska, I do not hesitate to say that
with the work on irrigation ditches in progress in western counties
End the large expenditures of money incident to the same, with the
depleted stocks of merchandise, which must be replenishsd, this fall
and winter, and the growing tendency to purchase at the home
market, the actual state of wholesale trade in Nebraska will be much
better than was anticipated.
Out of much tribulation came the new Call this week, printed on
its new press in the new building and with an entirely new equip
ment throughout. The Call is now the only afternoon newspaper
in Nebraska owning and using exclusively a perfecting press. It is
the only afternoon newspaper in the city that does not use plates
that is, ready made matter shipped in by freight and palmed off as
telegraph, on special correspondence or "miscellany,' and it is the
only exclusive afternoon paper in the state holding a membership in
the Associated Press. Then it is the only republican afternoon
paper in the state barring the smaller towns like Fremont and Bea
trice and Hastings.
