Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-10-22

The death of Edmund Yates, the
clever journalist who built up the
fortunes OF the London World. brings
about a revival of anecdote concern
ing him and his associates.
To glas JcrrJld was one Of his
familiar friends, and Yates used to
tell the story Of escortlng him home
one night, when they met two or
three drunken rOisterers. The men
STUN mbled up against them, and one
OF them apologized, and asked the
way to Judge and Jury" a popular
entertainment of the day.
"straight on, young man" said
Jerrold, bending forward to address
the speaker. Continue in the path
you are now pursuing, and you can't
fail to come to them"
"A week before Jerrold died Yates
met him at a dinner, where also was
Albert Smith, whose engagement to
be married was much talked about.
The host asked Smith to ring the
bell for dinner and Jerrold said:
"A es, Albert, why don't you ring
that BELIEF"
or his godfather Edmund Byng,
Yates had one capital anecdote
Byng once asked guest at his own
table:
GLOW did you like that dish?"
cit was very good"
Good, sir. OF course it was good!
Everything is good that comes to
tn table. didn't ask you if it was
good; / asked you how you liked it,"

A great many people are leaving for
other pastures IN which to winter their
stock. OF course we hate to see our
citizens leaving, but under the circum-
stances, it cannot be helped and must
be endured. The redeeming feature of
this temporary exodus, however. is the
fact that they all signify their inten-
ton to return in the spring and put
their shoulder to the wheel of Sherman
cOunty's car of progress and assist in
rolling it to the front rank of banner
bearers. We have the soil, climate,
water and determination to do this and
a couple of years Of drought cannot
be made to stand in the way of ulti-
mate success. In most cases all that
our farmers have is here, and they are
not so blind to their own interests as
TO leave this county, just as the future
begins to look more roseate, and start
life over in some other section. These
people, going into other counties and
states, viii return in the spring and
bring others with them. They will
come back knowing that other sections
are not more favorable for agriculture
than this, knowing that with irrigation
they can reclaim their lands and in
crease its value more than 1000 per
cent. And so In the end this year of
famine may yet be to the advantage Of
Kansas best county.

ty Visit Garden City.
/ Pursuant to announcement. delegation
+ of over % representative business men and
farmers from Sherman and Wallace eoun-
ties arrived in Garden City early inspect
ing the farms and gardens of this vicinity
The party was organized by A. B. Mont
gomery, Esq, of GoodIand, who secured
from the Rock Island and Santa Fe roads
the very low rate of 81 for the round trip,
including a stop of one day at Rocky Ford.
Colo, enroute here, and a day at Colorado
Springs on the return trip
Before reaching Garden City the entire
party was SubdiVided into committees con-
sisting of one or two members, who We're
given special subjects to inYeItigate con-
corning every phase of the irrigation queS-
ton in its relation TO the farmers of ives
tern Kansas The committee were chosen
with reference to their fitness fOr-the work
and their experience III the various
branches Of farming and horticulture and
when their reports are made to the Sher-
man County Irrigation association, we ven
ture that the people who listen to the re-
ports. will have a more intelligent idea of
irrigation and its marvellous benefits than
they could have learned in any other wav
aside from personal study and inveStiga-
ton.
The party arrived soon after daylight
and started out at once in groups over the
city eajOying our shady streets as no other
people aside from those who have long
bsen out on the plains away from trees can
enjoy them. After breakfast our citizens
with that hospitality that is characteristic
of them. placed their carriages al the dis
posal of their guests and the entire day
was spent in driving over the country in
speeding farms, gardens, orchards, vine
yards and groves and ihe various canals
and pumping plants that have been instru-
mental in Transforming the desert into
Yeritable garden. To say that every man
in tho party was delighted is putting it
mildly. They We're without exception per
fectIy caDtivated with what they saw and
if any came with misgivings as TO the value
of irrigation they went away thoroughly
satisfied and enthusiastic. Many of them
secured samples of vegetables and fruit to
use in convincing their friends of the truth
of statements as TO what they had seen in
western Kansas. The orchards of Hall and
Richter were revelations to them, eSpeci-
ally the latter, many saying they had never
seen such an abundance of fruit grown
anywhere.
The people of Garden City are glad of an
opportunity to entertain such guests and
hope TO see many of them again, as we'll as

the opportunity of studying Our system of
