With the three new roads talked Of,
along with the popular B. 4 81. road,
Red Cloud would be in . direct line Of
prosperity and its future settled. There
is no getting around the fact that i'm
portant railroad ventures will be made
in Nebraska in the next few months,
and Red Cloud is being looked to by
these officials a. an important point.
and hence the present railroad agi,a.
ton among these roads. TIE CHIEF
believes that these rumors are not

more substantial to our city. Let every

projects.

June l5.-Took up my line of travel
in the direction of Brodtville and struck
said town, or trading post, at about 2
O'Clock. Found here a general grocery

for country place like this, as the
country is thickly settled around here

The people here anticipate celebrat-
ing the Fourth of July in grand style.

AND Now ADIEU.-We close this
work with mingled feelings of relief,
satisfaction and regret. For two and
one-half years this column has appealed
to its readers for more interest in edu-
cation. We have labored earnestly for
the good of the schools and the adj
vancement OF the young. There have
been no other motives or rewards.
Interest in the great work Of education
has lent pleasure TO this labor; and yet
it has often seemed arduous and I'M
satisfactory. With the pressure of
other duties the time needed for the
preparation of this column has frequent
ly been unduly limited; and even then
it has intruded on needed rest and rec
reation. And yet, if our schools have
obtained anything of benefit; if any
parents have by it received any in
formation and interest concerning the
school work of Lancaster; if any young
lives have been infused with more love
for knowledge, more thirst for the foun-
tain of truth, better impulses and aspir-
ations in life; we shall feel rewarded
for our toll.
That which may have seemed to our
readers querulous or unkind has been
sincerely intended for the good of the
schools. Every community needs to be
aroused on the subject, and what has
seemed our duty has not always been
pleasant.
We have not expected that all our
opinions would meet with universal
concurrence; but we confidently antici-
pate more general acceptance of them
when they shall have been more care
fully weighed and tested by the exper.
fence of the future.
To all who have in any way shown
spirit of cooperation and sympathy, or
expressed kindly words of encourage
ment, we offer our most sincere thanks
Amidst the busy toll of life gracious
words often come like rain upon
thirsty soil, or oil upon the troubled
waters.
And now, with continued interest in
the welfare of the public schools of Lam
caster and Grant County, and with
lasting zeal in the grand cause of edu-
cation, we bid our readers kindly
FAREWELL.

Mr. Editor. those small notes in THE

ness are not passed by. by the people
of this place, but each one shows the
good old paper to be in the right place,
and makes 1t twice welcome.
The farmers OF this place are offering
a reward for the scalps of machine

cry row of corn, SO that it is getting al

June l6.-I attended the raising of

were ready to help Mr.. Jacob Bur carry

OF his new structure to their several To-
cations. AT II o'clock the frame of the
barn was placed together. Mr.. w. H.
Clark appeared to be commander of the
post, and seemed to attend to his work
very well as officer of the day. After
completing the barn raising we were
invited to the house of our host and
found here splendid dinner in readi-
ness for the twenty mon who had been
engaged at the barn, which you may
depend upon-was heartily appreciated
by all hands. | should enjoy such
time quite frequently if could have the
privilege.
After dinner started for Wyalusing,
and here found some of the HERALD S
old and tried friends, as we find them
in every town in the county. Mr.. Ken
dali has been friend of the HERALD
ever since 1913. and aided Mr.. Cover in
his early days in getting his Office into
good and pleasant quarters by build
ing him printing Office and aiding
him further in his (Cover's) limited cir
cumstances, and it seems he has been
supporter and lover of the HERALD
ever since. He is a very pleasant man
and is we'll supplied with pleasing incl
dents of the early days when Wisconsin
was on the frontier, and such incidents
as these are what please your humble
servant.
June III made break for Bridge
port and the morning being fine, had a
pleasant ride, heightened by an abund-
ance of beautiful scenery. The springs
in this part of the county are indeed
magnificent to behold, as nearly all OF
them have very high source and the
beautiful water can be conducted TO the
milk houses so easily that it appears to
me this is one of the very finest coun.
tries or localities for dairy purposes.
There are some places on this road that
methinks look as wild as fifty years ago
with the exception of the domestic ami.
mails and the fences that run over the
high bluffs.
On my way struck an old settler
who years ago used to drive team
from Winnebago to Prairie du Chen
and Mr.. Lane enjoys relating his ole
old time stories.
Hurrying on, we reached the city Of
Bridgeport in time for dinner, which
took with Mr.. Busecker at the Bridge
port Hotel, quiet place where the
hungry can be fed This is small
town, yet l am inclined to think that al
certain times in the year there is a con.
siderable amount of stock and grain
handled here. The town is appropri
ately named as there are about eighty
rods OF bridging here upon which VIZ
Grant county chaps have to pay a toll
to get to the Portal well enough. fol
it is quite an expense to keep such a
bridge in repair.
