"No More Settlers Wanted"

EDITOR TRIBUNE:-Not long since ]
was in your city and while listening
to several gentlemen discussing the
present prospects of this county, I
heard one of our farmers at least
l took him &c s.e farmer make the
above declaration. At first / thought
the gentleman was merely joking, but
I soon discovered that he was in dead
earnest.
What, "no more settlers Wanted!'
Why, there is an abundance of room
for three times the present population
of Stevens county, and we would not
be crowded then.
am an 4ola settler" in this county;
have experienced all the haraships
early settlers were forced to pass
through, and my most earnest wish
has been for al these long years to
see the county thoroughly settled by
an industrious class Of hardy tillers Of
the soil. 70 me the above declaration
seems purely selfish and not in keep
ing with the progressive spirit of the
age.
mo more settlers wantedr' Great
God, what is the 1tan thinking of?
Don't he know that more settlers
means higher prices for land, larger
and more populous villages, more busi-
ness andl q larger demand for farm
products?
If could have my way about it
l would have a farmer ON every quart
or section of land in Stevens county,
or on every half section, at most.
Then our county would be what Ma
ture intended it to be, the garden of
the NQrthwest.
"No more settlers waatsdr Out
upon such idea, say l. The man who
holds such doctrine should emigrate
to some other place th ali Stevens
county and give room to settlers who
believe in settling up and improving
our fair land. If all the farmers were
Of the character of the author of the
above quoted absurd declaration,
then | would say that Eve do not
want any more settlers of that kind.

The editors of the state are prepal

The editors of the state are prepar-
ing for a six days outing on the
shores of Lake Ripley, near Litchfield.
F. S. Verbeck, chairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements, of the state
editorial association, says that all
preparations have been completed for
an encampment on this lake, with the
exception of arranging the program.
The chairman stated that this was a
little out Of the regular order, but he
believed that it would meet the hearty
approval of the state association. 1t
will take the place of junketing
tour. The date fixed for the encamp-
ment is Aug. Is, and will continue
until the Goth. The editors and their
families are invited to attend. Tents
will be provided for the campers, and
special rates have been secured at the
Brightwood hotel On Lake Ripley.
The entire expense should not exceed
$40 for each person. Surely more
delightful place for the editorial en-
campment could not have been select
ed in the state than Lake Ripley.

In the TRIBUNE of July 18th, we


said:
1T would seem that there is sys-
ternatic attempt on the part Of certain
politicians to kill off Blaine as pres
idential candidate in 1892. Reports
of his mind having become impaired
and physically he is greatly enfeebled
have been sent broadcast throughout
the land. These reports are undoubt-
edly sent out by Republican polite
ians who do not derire to see Mr..
Blaine nominated"
A Washington dispatch of the 25th
inst. says: "The truth in connection
with the repeated attacks upon Sec
retary Blaine, by both Republican and
Democratic newspapers, is gradually
coming to the surface. There is little
doubt now that all the misleading
stories that have been printed about
Blaine being a physical and mental
wreck emanate from his enemies in
The Republican party, AIDED anti aabet-
ted by the Democratic ghouls. It is
nothing more or less than conspiracy
to drive Blaine into an untimely grave.
The New York Sun in a leading
editorial yesterday charged these
ghoulish newspaper attacks upon
Blaine to both Republican and Demo
cratic sources. Dana, in the most
cutting English, ikened Blaine's ene-
mics to the assassins of the Guiteu
stripe. Today Editor Hatton, of the
Washington Post takes similar
grounds. There is every indication
that both editors have keenly scented
the whole despicable conspircy."
Morris tribune., 1891-07-29

1t is very large contract that the
parties to the plot against Blaine
have undertaken 1t is not impossi-
bic. indeed we think it is q reasonable
probability, that the campaign OF
,uea,!acity which has been organized
against him will over-reach itself and
AIr. Blaine become thereby the recip-
lent of popular sympathy that the
conspirators who are attempting to
bury him, alive or dead, will find
irresistible and overwhelming.

Whip manufacturers are feelil

Whip manufacturers are feeling
the scarcity of whalebone more than
any class of consumers. The nearest
to a satisfactory substitute ever found
is featherbone, made from the quills
of barnyard fowls, principally turkeys
and geese. Featherbone is very dur
able and elastic and is now being used
largely in the manufacture of whips
and thus far is the only substitute for
whalebone found thatc an supply the
want satisfactorily Here is a pointer
for those who raise fowls: Save the
quills from your turkeys, geese, ducks
and chickens. There's money in it.
