AS to the Proposed Races.

Though the meeting called for last
Saturday evening, to consider the feast
bility of organizing driving association
and securing races for this summer and
fall, was not well attended, those present
determined to make an effort toward
securing the necessary money and en-
couragement. Consequently after con-
siderable general discussion it was de
cided to appoint Messrs. c. F. Babcocl;
and Pat Walsh as committee to canvass
for stock. 1t is proposed to make an eff
fort to secure S., 900 worth of stock, and
TO commence work on the track, stables,
grand stand etc. as soon as $3.50 worth OF
stock is taken. In order to prepare for
races on the latter part of June, this
matter will have to be pushed vigorous
ly. If the people of McCook want to
have any good races. now is the time to
express that desire in substantial way
by subscribing for stock in the driving
association, or by rendering financial
assistance in some other way. Give the
committee all the encouragement you
can when they come around to see you,
as they will in due time.

The fact that we irrigate is no reason
for believing it must be done to raise a
good crop in this section of the state. r.
rigatiou insures crop in case of drouth,
and at all times taxes the soil to its ut
most in producing agricultural products
of superior quality Notwithstanding
this, hundreds of farmers not in reach OF
the canals are planting their crop with
full confidence of securing the requisite
rain fall. It has been done before and
the granaries have been filed to over
flowing And it will be done again, for
confidence in Providence is seldom mis-
placed. The farmer under the ditch
must condense his farming, and the one
without irrigation evens up by farming
more land. The Nebraska farmer, no
matter where he is situated, is a man
who can make farming pay if It pays
anywhere. Era.

It has been intimated to THE TRIBUNE
that during the present year the city
authorities propose to let the city streets
alone, except where they actually need
attention, and will address themselves
to improvement of the roads approach
ing the city. We believe that this pol
icy will be almost universally commend
ed by our business men The streets of
the city will require but little work to be
performed on them this year The roads
or at least most of the roads, leading in
to the city, need inprovenent-in some
instances badly, and we believe that any
thing that may be done for their bereav-
ment will be move in the righ.. direc-
ton, and will be appreciated BY the
farmers who come here to trade And
if this policy could be carried far enough
into the outlying country, trade which
now goes elsewhere will be drawn to our
city. At all events the idea Is good
one, and we hope It may be carried ont
vigorously and wisely.

The Prize Winner.

Wayne Brown of So4 Maine street. wa:
the first youthful competitor to come to
the conclusion that knowledge is a
crown which the humblest may wear, y
the consequence of which is that he is
now the fortunate possessor of a complete
library, which the daily Herald tenders
with its compliments for his success in
future life.
Master Wayne disturbed the quiet
slumbers of the household about o.
clock on Saturday morning, and was on
hand to see the first paper off the press.
He is bright, quick little fellow, II
years of age, who, when there is any
thing good going on, sees that his chance
is properly attended to.
Mr.. F. L. Brown of the Kirby ,Carpen-
ter Co., is now more certain than ever
that he is the possessor of one of the
brightest boys in town, and the daily
Herald concurs in the belief. Two years
ago Mr. Brown came from McCook, Neb.,
where Wayne was born. The little fel-
low is in the sixth grade, and has a
mathematical head, which augurs good
for successful business career. The
daily Herald hopes that the m e
promptitude which guided his footsteps
toward the prize EDITORS desk so early
Saturday morning, may continue to lead
him in the way of worldly success, until
we hear from him again as u.s. fu /
American citizen.

The CommonweaIers.

Early Tuesday morning detachmen,
of Coxey's industrial" army drifted in
to the city from Barr, Colorado, where
the army had been delayed number O
days, being unable to secure transporta
ton. The army numbered $50 wher
they left Denver, but being stranded a,
| Barr they divided up in small detach
ments in their effort to reach the east
and thus were able to get out over the
different roads.
This detachment of Denver division
No. of Coxey's army" as their banner
called it, numbered about twenty souls
and was under the captaincy of Tim
Kiernan. They camped about the Burl-
ington's ice houses here until forced BY
the rain to seek shelter in the stone
blacksmithshop on West Railroad street,
where they remained until Tuesday
morning, when the company was broken
up into parties of six and b ard d
freights 4S, 81 and 76 respectively, and
left for the east, going as far as Oxford,
where they were again briefly ST d e.
tracked
Our personal observation of the Coxey
movement was not an impressive one.
While the company that visited this
point was small and the members were
quiet orderly fellows, they were evident
ly not of an intelligent class, and had
the appearance of being of the genus
tramp, such in fact, as we see on our
streets every day.
They describe rather a pitiful condi-
ton of affairs as existing among the
thousands of unemployed in Denver and
throughout Colorado.

rain fall occurred in this section of Ne

inches of rain fell here. This, in addi-
