WHAT THEY SAY.

LOW e0AAVAA1A0
Garden Of Eden here in the Black
Hills to what they have in Nebraska.
There is a picture of desolation there
that is simply indescribable. Portions
Of Nebraska will have to have help to
avoid famine and severe suffering.
A. NJ. MopHA1I-The trip to pearAsh
was simply immense. The magnifl-
cence and grandeur of the scenery are
simply indescribable. I have just re-
turned from q trip across the Rockies
and they are not in it compared with
the spearfish canyon.
H. I. CArL1N-Our excursion to
Deadwood and Spearfish was a grand
success. We spent about two hours in
Deadwood looking over the city and
the ride to Spearfish was greatly en-
joyedb by the guests and the train was
frequently stopped to pick flowers by
the roadside. The citizens of Spear
fish entertained their guests in splen.
did shape and all left with favorable
opinions of the sprightly little city.
Engineer Hamilton made the best time
coming back to Englewood ever made
on the sky line, and the old veteran,
Charley Brundage, brought us from
Englewood to Minnekahta in three
hours and ten minutes, being the fast
est time vel made over the high line.
At places he made the the remarkable
time of fifty-five miles an hour. Old
Charley is a dandy and no mistake.
PRESIDENT j. w. HANcHER-I have
just returned from a trip to Omaha,
Lincoln and other points in Nebraska,
and the picture of desolation present
ed along the line where one is wont to
see cornfields laden with golden fruit
age, is truly pitiable. There are one
hundred thousand acres between
Aurora and Ravenna where there will
not be an ear of corn. The grass is
brown and sere and stock is al
ready s%ufferering. The Platte river
exists only in name, as there isn't a
stream as big as your wrist in the ac-
customed channels. A few pools scat
tered along the dry sand is all the
water there is. Nebraska will have to
have help and it must come from east
of the Mississippi.
TN. WARREN have put up 100
tons of hay this summer and we have
plenty of winter feed, more perhaps
than ever before. Stock is doing we'll
and with a reasonably mild winter will
come through in excellent shape. l
have about 300 head of horses but am
turning them into cattle as fast as !
can. Yes, 1 do my irrigation with a
steam pump, but having other duties
could not give it as much attention as
1 would like to have done. Inside of a
few years this county will be com
pletely overrun with sheep, and ]
deeply regret it.
j. w. GRosvENoR, M. d. buffalo, N.
! Y.)-I don't know as I ever enjoyed an
excursion mor in my life than the B
& M. to Spearfish yesterday. 1 have
observed the charms of Switzerland
the delights along the Rio Grande, and
many other places, but the scenery
along the road to Spearfish really
pleased me as much as any 1 have ever
witnessed. 1t was a nice crowd and We
all enjoyed the excursion hugely. ]
think the prospects for Hot Springs
becoming quite a noted resort are
bright indeed.
