INTRODUCTION.

INTRODUCTION.
We arc constantly in receipt of
letters from parties in various por-
tons of our country, asking for i'll
formation in regard to Lake county,
in order that they may be enabled
to decide as to whether they will
come and make their home with us,
or not. With view of having an
answer ready for them at all times
we have prepared the following,
and intend to let it remain in the
STAR for some time to comc--a
gratuito,ls publication for the gen
eral good. First, rs regards the
soil of cur county, we have fine
variety, consisting of rich bottom
lands and tho lighter, yet far from
worthless sandy soil ofvast "plains."
IN the hard wood region We have
as fertile clay and gravel soils as
can be found anywhere. The prices
Of unimprovcd lands range from
Six to Fifteen Dollars per acre,
according to quality and situation.

An old Indian who was engaged
in the fight, vouches for the fact
that a most desperate battle was
fought in this (Smith) county, in
1882. The fight was between the
Pawnee, Delaware and Omaha In
dams on one side, and the Chey-
ennes, Comanchcs, ArapahOes and
Apachcs on the other. The Paw
nces numbered 1000 warriors; the
Chcyenncs. 5000. Two thousand
of the Pawnee side were killed, and
5000 of their enemies. Sever
hundred of the Cheyenne part!
were taken prisoners and burned
ut the stake. lie said the tigh
was brought on by the Pawnecs
which was the most powerful tribe
west of the Mississippi river. The
battle lasted three days and nights
and was a complete victory for th'
Pawnces. The Pawnccs were lie,

ORR readers will remember tina


Our readers will remember that
some time since We published an
item regarding the alleged robbery
. of Martin w. Westfall, treasurer of
Leroy township, Osccola county.
>Wcstfall was away from home, at
/. the time, so reports went, and left
no one but hired girl, Emma
Marsh, ut home. The robbers Sc
cured 5000. 1t seems that the sus-
picions of Osceola county officials
was aroused, and the girl was re-
Gently arrested somewhere in Al
Logan county, oh suspicion OF being
implicated in the robbery. She
was brought to IIerscy, and upon
examination made certain discios-
ures which led to Wcstfall's arrest
while attending a dance at Ashton
one week ago last Friday evening
by Sheriff lloughton.

Lake CO1ntV Wheat,

The first published record of the
amount Of wheat grown i'll Lake
county in one season, that we have
seen, is the count for 1873, when
5000 bushels were produced, with
an average of 1855 bushels per
acre. Although the amount raised
IN some of the older counties was
greater. yet there are several where
in the average per acre TN lo'3)
falls short of this county. We
name some Of them: Wayne. L.
IS; Yaa Bxren. l2.ssS; st. Joseph,
1914; Oakland, 1888; Monroe,
ILL; Jackson, 1905; Grand Tray
crse, 12.51; Clare, 1915; Branch,
12.47; Bcnzie, 11.40.
OF course, the yearly aggregate
product of wheat in Lake county
has greatly increased since the
above mentioned period. In ON
hard wood tracts, it is nothing un'
usual to raise from twenty to TWEEN
ty-fve bushels per acre: and settlers
upon the "barrcn plains" have pro
duced as high as fifteen bushels OF
first blowing, and without any sor
of fertilizers being used. We make
mention of these facts for the rea
son that we hear so Iauch nonsense
about our country being good fo
nothing, and that no one can liv'
here after the pine has been cut Oh
&c. There is considerable grOunt
for these assertions for the reason
that our settlers are at present pay
more attention to the pine, per
haps, than to farming. In man,
instances this is a necessity, be
cause. the settlers lack means to g
on and develop their claims a
shey should do. They have tn
,anc, and work it of in order t
gain means out of which TO live an
make improvements. We have ful
faith in the future Of Lake count
as wheat producing country. lie
grain viii always command tb
highest market price, for the rea
son that no 6nOr quality can b
produced in the world. All
wants Is for our farmers to be per
seyerre md industrious, and sat

Effects of the Storm +,

NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-A couple of small
houses n Brooklyn were unroofed by the storm
yesterday, and large shed iu Williamsburg
was blown down. Several chimneys were
blown down in this city, and considerable dam
age done to trees and awnings. H0boken and
other low lands on the New Jersey river and
bay frontage were overfowed, and serious dam
age in isolated instances ensued. Hotels and
ocean front at Long Branch were damaged by
the heavy sea. New sand bars are thrown no
by the action of the sea at Coney Island aud
Rockaway, and the remains of bathing houses
and other movable lumber were swept clean
away. No vessel dared to put out to sea yes
terday or last night, and even hardy pilots came
in under bare poles and anchored in the Horse-
shoe.
Nearly five inches Of rain has fallen here. A
line repairer was blown from telegraph pole
here yesterday and fatally injured. Cellars in
the lower partsof the city and Brooklyn are
flooded. The wharves in front of Staten Is
land suffered quite heavily, and ferries there
yesterday were able to land passengers at only
one landing. The Long Branch railway was
badly washed out No lives are reported lost.
Disastrous Fire.
Shortly after midnight it was reported at the
police headquarters that William Ell. Payne's
grain and flour mills and elevator at the corner
of 10th street and Second avenue, were on fire.
the flames gained rapidly in spite of the efforts
of the firemen. The fire is still raging (1.30 a.
m. } and it is impossible to make any estimate
of the damage, which will probably be very
