A KICK FRoM CHADRCN.

IF the following is true from the
Chadron Journal, it would seem that the
railroad company chooses to even dis
criminate against Chadron, one Of the
towns that has contributed upwards Of
100000 to the Western Town Lot COM
pany tho nut shell'' appondage of the
Northwestern. In boldly giving pub
Lefty to these facts, the Journal takes
desperate chances of losing its transpor-
tation, with which paltry favors the rail
way company virtually, subsidize the
newspapers published along its line.
The Journal says:
The merchants Of Chadron and other
towns in this part of Nebraska should
raise vigorous kick and howl about the
ears of the officials Of the f., e. C M. V.
railroad company against the abonina-
bic and extortionate local freight tariffs
which prevail ON the line of the road.
The farmers of Dawes and Sheridan
counties are beginning to have much
produce for market beyond the consump-
ton Of the country. Some attempts have
been made to ship this surplus west to
the, towns fifty, 100 or 140 miles, and in
every instance find that. such goods can
be bought anywhere from Eastern Ne
braska to Chicago and laid down west Of
here more cheaply than can be dono from
Chadron. This condition of affairs, if
continued until the production increases
several fold, will be ruinous to tho farm
ing and producing interests of Northwest
Nebraska. = : Some move on tho
part of merchants and would-be shippers
toward securing reduction OF rates
ought to be made at once.

s.THRo, a. GLASS DARKLY..

A few weeks ago the ADvERrIsER pub
lished its ideas in. regard to the future Of
the Black Hills as regards railroads.
The Railway Age, Of Chicago, the lead
ing railway periodical OF the country,
copies tho major. portion of the article,
commenting upon it IN Q peculiarly lu-
dicrous manner, showing what errone-
GUS ideas even supposedly well-informed
men may hold concerning the southwest
ern corner Of our territory. It says:
ssWhat is known as the Black Hills coun-
try, the mountainous, almost unpeopled
and until recently inaccessible region "
ing in the southwestern corner Of Dakota
and reaching over into Wyoming, would
hardly be thought Of as q present Or even
a prospective railway center. But last
year the Chicago & Northwestern COM
pany completed a long line to that coun-
try, reaching to point nearly 1860 miles
from Chicago, and other lines are point
ing in the same direction, and now the
enterprising pioneers Of the Black Hills
region SO long disconnected from civil
cation have already begun to see thor
country the focus Of innumerable lines
of railways radiating to all parts of the
compass and making it q populous and
prosperous region. From the Sturgis,
Dakota, ADVERTISER, published in an
embryo town near the terminus Of the
Northwestern line, containing an article
entitled "The new hub-The future Of
the Great Black Hills--Their perfectly
peerless position proudly pictured"
We make the following extract,
showing the faith which already pervades
that remote region as to the possibilities
of the future, md which is shared by in
Vulnerable other localities in what we
now call the new and unpeopled west"
almost unpeopled, and until recently
inaccessible region" is good. ..Pioneers
of the Black Hills region SO long discon-
nected from civilization is better. "Re-
mote region" and "new and unpeopled
west" wo can stand, but ''embryo town"
that is too much. Our already over
burned soul breaks down at this, the IN
kindest cut Of all.

OUR HEw BOARD OF TRADE.

On Saturday night last meeting,
composed OF the citizens Of Sturgis, was
held in the opera house for the purpose
OF considering the adsisability Of form.
ing board Of trade, and incorporating
the Same. The meeting was called C
order Of s o'clock, W. 3. Jones ia the
chair.
A committee appointed at the first
meeting presented constitution and
bylaws, which were adopted after thor
ough discussion.
Under the constitution as adopted the
following officers were elected: r. NJ
Allen, president; w. Z. Jones, first vice
president; j. G. Wenke, second vics
president; Max Hoehn, secretary; j. g
Mcmillan, treasurer. Executive com.
nittoe: P. =. Sparks, John Farley. O. G.
Polk, e. I. Marshall and o. w. Jewett
The chair appointed committee on
membership consisting of Charles King,
Fl. Wyttenbach and T. R. Grow.
The thing uppermost in the minds Of
the members present wassthe subject Of
fire protection. After d thorough discus
sion Of the matter the following motion
was put and carried: That the fire mat
ter be submitted to the executive com
mittee, and that said committee solicit
subscriptions towards the purchase of a
fro engine, hose, hose cart, the building
of three cisterns, ETC., to cost about 49,
500, and that the amounts subscribed be
SO advanced with the understanding that
each dollar shall represent one share OF
stock to be hereafter issued by this assoc
citation, as soon as incorporated, for that
purpose.
After the passage OF this motion the
meeting adjourned to meet at the opera
house tonight at s o'clock.
The citizens SO far have done extreme
ly we'll, and are starting on a thoroughly
solid basis. Tho committee on soliciting
subscriptions have been around but little
and have already raised nearly $4,000
toward the purchase Of fre-apparatus
Without doubt in a very short time
the entire amount will be raised.
The men who have taken hold Of this
thing mean business. With them it is
no childs play, and they intend to push
such matters as shall properly come to
their notice, to the limit, and make Stur-
gis in name, as it is in fact, the king of
the foothill towns
The object of the board of trade is to
to unity the business men of the city,
that objects desired can be attained; Co
advertise the resources contiguous to
Sturgis; to keep an eye on public i'm
proyements OF all kinds, and one and all
work Individually and collectively for the
best interests of this city, going on the
principle of Sturgis first, last and oil the
time. That the new board may be a
success is the earnest desire of tho AD-
vERTIsER.
