Custer Wheat.

Mr.. G. Kloman, cashier of the Far
mers and Merchants bank, Of Anselmo,
Nebraska, senior member Of the bank
ing house Of Kloman & Arnold, at
Broken Bow, and also extensively inter-
ested in the Anselmo Touring mills,
visited Custer this week for the purpose
Of Investigating the quality ofthe wheat
raised in this locality which gained such
extended notoriety while on exhibition
at the Sioux City Corn Palace last year,
where it was awarded first premium for
its superior quual;ty. Mr.. Kloman ex-
amined number of samples grown in
this immediate vicinity, which he un-
hesitatingIy pronounced to be of excep-
tional quality, and further stated that
lie would pay 65 cents per bushel, on
the track for all that could be produced.
We are not familiar with the market
value of wheat, and it is possible that it
may be worth more money, but we do
know, that, until the railroad reached
this place, there was no market for this
product and furthe, we can readily see
good margin of profit in raising it,
even at the figure offered by Mr.. Klo-
man. The average yield of wheat in
this locality, in favorable years, will fall
little, ifany short of forty bushels to the
acre, which means s26 per acre to the
farmer. very profitable return for his
labor. Farmers in this vicinity should
give this matter their attention with a
view to making farming more profitable
in the future than it has been in the
past. The situation is most favorable,
and farmers should avail themselves of
the opportunity offered of realizing in
creased profits by engaging more extern
sively in the culture of this leading and
indispensable cereal.

This is probably the first instanc on
record where an editor has been so
glaringly unprofessional as to call public
attention to matter Of this kind. which
occurs in all newspaper Offices where
special orders are received for large
number of extra copies, as in the case
referred TO. Our subscribers were fur
nished with the patent inside of latest

we trust 1t Is the former. In any event

The annual Indian scare has been re-
vived. In this instance the cause of the
threatened up rising is not attributable
to short rations or abusive treatment by
the whites, but on account ofthe expect
ed advent Of the red mans Messiah,
which would seem to be avery shallow
excuse for such conduct on their part.
notwithstanding the fact Of the govern
ment having ordered troops to Standing
Rock and Pine Ridge agencies, TO be
held in readiness to check possible
outbreak, II is not believed that there
will be any serious trouble from this
cause, hence It viii be advisable to
dismiss whatever fears current rumors
may have inspired, and borrow no
further trouble on this account.

HEADING FOR SEATTLE
The Cheyenne Tribune, in a recent
issue, says the d. & NJ. will build on to
the Pacific cost intending to make Seat
tie the terminus. 1t is rumored that
they will build from Cheyenne to Al
lance and will then continue the line
from Newcastle to Buffalo, Sheridan,
Livingston, Bozeman, Butte City and
from there to Seattle. This would give
them route to the coast through the
best and richest portion of Wyoming
and Montana. and it is claimed by them
that they can make the trip from Denver
in four or five hours less time than the
Union Pacific. Contractor Fitzpatrick
says the work on the Buffalo extension
will be pushed all winter, while spring
will see the inauguration of the work up
on the Cheyenne and Alliance connec
tion.
