J. E. DANIELsON.

In the state east of the Mississippi
river and north of the Ohio rivgr and
of Virginia, there are nearly two
million farms. Of these eleven hun
dred thousand contain less than 100
acres each and about six hundred
thousand, less than so acres each. In
the states above referred to, there are
over three millions of men engaged
in farming. 1t is plain, therefore,
that there are over one million farm
workers who do not, and who in their
present location can not, own farms.
Statistics also show that many of
these men put down as agricultural
workers, but not rs farm owners,
have considerable sums deposited in
savings banks. 1t is also safe to say
that considerable number of them
have sums ranging from $50 to $500
invested in government bonds or
other securities, beside what is in
the savings banks.
In view of these facts, it does not
take very extended course of reason
ing to show two things to be true.
First, that these men can greatly bet
ter their condition by coming west
where lands are plentiful and cheap,
and second, that they have sufficient
funds with which to come and make
Il beginning upon farm of their own.
Nor are these the only ones to be
helped by coming west. A man OIL so
acres with two maturing sons can,
with the proceeds of his present hold
ing, secure a good sized farm in the
west for each of the three. All, own
ing small farms, would be similarly
benefited.
The reason why more of these
people do not come west is that they
have but little, if any, reliable infor-
nation regarding this country, Peo-
pie are not slow to move when they
know they can improve their con-
dition by so doing, and if agricultural
workers and small land holders of the
east knew of the many advantages
held out by the west to them, they
would not be long getting here.
Probably there is not farmer or
business man in Stevens county but
what knows of one or more of the
class spoken of above, and to one and
all the TRIBUNE wishes to say: Take
pains to inform these eastern people
what the west has to offer them: Let
them know Of our healthful climate,
our fertile and productive lands and
the cheapness of them, of our we'll
established schools and churches,
our market and transportation facill-
ties and it will not be long before
each of the numerous vacant farms in
the county will be owned and occu-
pied by prosperous and happy farmer
There are at least half million men
east of the Mississippi and north OF
the Ohio who can better their con.
dltion by coming to these fertile
prairies and if they do not come, it
will be because those who are now
here, are keeping their light under
bushe'.

Last Friday evening, about the
time of the close of the pound sociabl e
at the Bemis House, number of
young people banded together and
made an unexpected call upon Miss
Emma and Mr.. G. B. Spooner. The
surprise was complete. The callers
were royalty entertained and for few
hours there was music, cards, refresh
ments and . good time generally.
The session Of district court just
closed is the last one for this county,
in which District Attorney Arctander
will appear. He Will not be district
attorney after January LIST. 1886. Here
after. then, criminal prosecutions
will be conducted by the county at
torney and we believe there will be
convictions. With Arctander for
prosecuting attorney, the only GRIM
inals to be sentenced for some time
are those who have been kind enough
to plead guilty.
The editor and the Marshal while
passing up Atlantic Ave. the other
day. noticed horse and buggy that
had been left carelessly by the owner
without the horse being tied. The
Marshal said: "If take care of that
rig and cause the owner to be fined
for his carelessness, / Will be called
the meanest man in town. If leave
the horse united and it runs away
and hurts somebody, will be called
a--fornot tending to my business"
There is more truth than poetry in
the remark. In many cases 1T is i'm
possible for a Marshal to act so that
he will not be blamed by somebody.
The pound sociable at the Bemis
House last Friday evening was
largely attended and was thoroughly
enjoyable. The contributions showed
pound of almost everything and the
bidding for the articles brought in
was lively, resulting in neat sum
for the Ladies Aid Society of the
church, The pound of. silver dollars
was not wanting. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bemis with the guests and friends of
the hotel made up a purse of 5000
(more than a pound of silver which
was presented to Mrs. Norris, wife of
the pastor, during.the evening. Music,

prominent and enjoyable features.
1t is evident that some of the wit
nesses in the Rucklin case lied. The
Morris correspondent of the Pioneer
Press speaks of the matter very terse-
~ in last Fridays issue of that paper
as follows: "John Bucklin, who was
charged with numbering Benjamin
Baxter, was discharged to-day on
motion of District Attorney Artander,
who stated to the court that the two
witnesses who were present at the
time Of the alleged kicking to death
OF Baxter had given evidence so en-
tirely different from that given by
them before the coroner's and grand
juries that he could not ask u jury to
convict Bucklln npon the testimony
of witnesses who had falsely testified
at one time or the other: There is
much unfavorable comment upon the
singular variance of the testimony of
these witnesses from that given by
them last spring. No one thinks that
Baxter was Intentionally killed by
Bucklin, but few doubt that the
treatment he gave Baxter caused his
death,"
