Is 1t 4 Denial?

Inc edltor1al page oil the Den
yer Tribune of the last issue is
exclusively devoted to the editor
Of the Cottonwood REPORT and
accusations made in the REPORT
of the 31st. of March. The Tri-
bune's intention is to attack Cot
tonwood's position and that of
the REPORT and its editor, but
in his attempt, he reminds us of
the school boy who was once
placed to debate on certain sub
ject. After consuming almost
the full limit of the time allowed
to him, in which he thoroughly
mangles the english language,
he turns to his audience and says;
Ladies' and Gentlemen: / am
not sure which side Of this ques-
ton ! am debating on, at the
same time, I have told you all /
know about it,
In the first place, we editor at
tacks our editor and the mill
proposition as made by the pro-
prietors of Denver, and which
was as follows:
eve (Denver) will give you a
site Of forty acres of land, $4,000
in cash, guarantee to deliver to
you the 40 gallons per minute Of
water that yen desire, and fur
Their, you need do nothing toward
raising the subsidy, but sit in our
office and WE WILL GET OUT AND
RAISE THE SUBSIDY FOR YOU"
After copying the above he
states;
"a careful study of the above
quotation will at once disclose
its fraud. According to this
proposition, these capitalists are
offered the earth. They are not
required to do anything,--you
sit in our Office and we will get
out and make you a millionaire
we will build your mill and in
addition make you a present of
a snug little fortune as compli-
nent and token of our appreoi-
alton of you. 1t throws too
much light upon your credulity;
it exposes your ignorance of bus
mess methods; it pronounces you
an ass of the first order; you
should ask the people of Cotton
wood to cage you until after the
mill is built
The editor of the Tribune is
evidently not a scholar of geog-
raphy, or else he has enthused
an idea that far exceeds the most
brilliant thoughts Of Columbus.
We simply asserted, that the
townsite proprietors were to give
DO acres of land; they having SAC
acres plated as a townsite,
Taking the editors words for it
Denver not only now occupies
the whole world, but laps ovel
some 600 acres. We have since
been wheley unable to locate
Cottonwood on the map; but as
we are yet billed as post Office
on Uncle Sans lists, we havt
about come to the conclusion
that the editor of the Tribune
was writing his own history
when he attempts to comment OF
the traits of the editor Of the Re
PoRT. The townsite proprietorl
of Denver evidently appreciated
the value of the mill proposition
TO them and the prairie, for they
not only manifested their appre
citation by d liberal proposition
involving a great expense to then
but were assured that they coull
readily induce the farmers to APP
preciate the Importance of tn,
enterprise, by guaranteeing t
raise such subsidy as the ed
ltof Of the Tribune would Civ
them credit for.

IN giving advice to the voters of his
county Will E. Bolton, of the Greens
burg Times, republican. says: RE
solve now to vote for no man who does
not publicly say he faYors free coinage
and thereby the interests of Kiowa
county farmers" 1t there were more
such papers as Bottoms and many more
such mec as its editor we believe our
national wrongs would not be long in
righting. But when we think of the
lib republicans who voted against free
coinage and the lonely thirteen who
voted for it, in congress, and the fact
that the party leaders are against it, we
fear that our friend Bolton and his few
co-laborers in the republican party have
a tough job on their hands. When will
you learn, friends of silver, that the old
parties have left you?

commenced husking and gathering corn. The
corn crop is short this year and it will not re-
qulre SO long to gather it as it usually does.
The Baptists contemplate beginning pro-
tracted meeting at the tabernacle in about
four weeks from now feeling confident that
good work can be done. Elder Tibury will be
assisted by Elder Tatum, should his health
permit. 1t is the ardent wish here that Elder
Tatum's health Will get better because all
church going people love to hear him. The
pastor is also making arrangements to secure
the services of M. L. Voyles, of Harper
The health of the people in this valley is
generally good. Miss Belle Lasswell is SICK
yet and at last reports she was still badfast
with typhoid fever but recovering slowly.
Miss Anna Lasswell was attacked with the
fever but has SO far recovered that she is on
her feet again. One day recently when we
visited the family we found Miss Anna sitting
up. Miss Belle was very sick and unable to
sit up but she was in good spirits. Two of her
friends, Misses Emma Warren and MYRTLE
Huffaker were at her bedside like two minis
tering angels caring for her and learned that
most of the time during her long sickness her
mind has been cheered by the presence and
loving care OF one or more of her young lady
friends.
An old gentleman who lives somewhere in
Kiowa county encamped one night recently in
the valley. He relates that he has made two
tours to the strip for the purpose of taking
land. The first time was a day or two before
the Strip opened, but he was not permitted to
register for the reason that he already had l6O
acres in his own name. So he turned towards
home disheartened, but he happened to re-
member that early in life when he was first
married. his father-in-law had given his wife
COW, aud as he reflected further he concluded
that the profits on that COW had amounted to
more than the value of his farm. Therefore
rs an act of justice to his wife he decided all
his land to her and then with lighter heart he
returned TO the Strip and took land this time.
and will go back home now and rent out his
home place aud move on his homestead in the
Strip as soon as he can. He says TINT he and
his wife are poor but honest folks and he
thinks he has good claim and prospects look
brighter for him since he concluded to pay his
wife for the profits he had reaped from that
COW.

To pay a mortgage of $1,000 the farm

while in 1873 he would have paid it
with 700 bushels. The value of wheat

that extent. The cost remains the
same. Yet there are men who profess

to further contract the money supply
