A Few Miles West.

E
Some months ago, made up my mind
to 60 west with a threshlng creW-not
because OF any illusions or because [ ex.
pected to find anything like that repre-
sented in Buffalo Bill shows or cowboy
dime literature, but simply because I
wanted to make money. And by the
way, l think that it might be with this
Wild West exactly as with the Norwegi-
an .outfarms way up in the mountains
the tourists come there filled with ideas
of the idyllic life, celebrated by poe s
and composers; they leave, disappointed
and with struggling of the shoulders
which often has more direct cause than
the disappointment. Out west here you
are very aptto take your breakfast, when
the thermometer stands at 100 degrees
above freezing point, to be blown to pie
.ces during the daytime and to freeze to
death at nightsif you have been lucky
enough to gather yourself together after
the storm.

Observation-Disclosures

And such storms! The day I APP
preached this promised land, the wind
was simply terrific; black smoke hid
everything and all sorts of articles from
three inch planks to babies were scat
tered around as though they were leaves.
Even separators and, threshing engines
had to be tied down to save them from
the antics of the wind. And the heat of
that wind The Simeon which some
times overtakes the lonely caravan on
the desert of Sahara couldn't be hotter.
1t was on ths very dayI entered Lyon

not IN this world at least, be given war
mer reception.
And now as to the surroundings It
is almost like desert-lo back ground,
no pleasant hills for the eye to rest on,
no groves to temper the fierce winds, in
short nothing to make the country pleas
ant one to travel through. No wonder,
either. The most of the settlers are
young and they have every thing to fight
the mortgage on the farm, the trusts and
combinations. the railroads and even ma
ture. They must first build their house
upon sol1d foundation before thinking
.s.. q
Of decorating it.
But they will be alright in time. The
vitality of the west is strengthened by
the warmest and healthiest blood of the
old world the hardy Icelander, the live
" son of ssla belle France" and the Hol-
lander; in fact every type is represented
but the Yankee himself OF course you
will find HIM too, once in while, bit
about as rarely as the slough plant is
found on the mountain tops.
Farm hands are very scarce. The far
mers generally do the summer work with
out hired help and the plowing is done
by the women. So is the shocking and
at least q part of the threshing. This
seems cruel and more like Indianism,
but by closer examination it will be
found necessary. Every member Of the
family must assist in lifting the mortgage
or it will soon get beyond control.
And such prices Nine cents for oals,
18 for barley, 40 for wheat and $2.75 for
pork Il is easy enough to understand

the farm, but it is almost an enigma to
understand how these western farmers
can keep things going and keep the
wolf Of want from their doors.
S OF course there is no hardship connect
ed with getting rid of the grain. There
are plenty of elevators everywhere and
the farmers are beginning to ship for.
themselves, thus clearing two cents addi-
tional per bushel. But even at that
there is nothing left for them. The rail-
roads and middlemen alone reap the pro-
tits. For Instance / saw one man shin a
car Of barley for which he got % cents
bushel. On every busllel he had to paw
12 cents freight and / cent commission; !;
in other words he had 9 cents left for
his work, while the railroad company
received 12 cents per bushel for trans
porting the grain from one place to an
ther within the boundaries Of the same
state.
Most of the farmers come from coun-
tries where the government has control
OF the railroads and they know the pric-
es charged there. It's no wonder then
that they join the Peoples party, for
there is at least one sensible plank in the
platform Of that organization, viz, the
government ownership Of transportation
facilities. a

SUING FOR HIS TITLE.
Bill Filed to Compel Defendants to
Convey Real Estate.


Convey Real Estate.
william Clement Grinder, through his
attorney, Percival NJ. Brown, yesterday
filed an amended bill in the equity court
against Aquilla Maxley, Maria Q. Maxley,
Benjamin Scott and Harry S. Haight, pray
ing for decree of court to enjoin the de-
PENDANTS from interfering with the COM
plainants peaceable possession of certain
real estate regularly conveyed to him, the
title to which is being contested on ac-
count of aa error in the deed.
The particulars In the case, briefly
stated, are that one Maria Dimes, "a free
woman of COLOR" became possessed, July
13, 1856, of lot 12 in square 493 in this
city, which property descended to her
three children, Martha, Jane, and William
Dimes, and from these parties to their
children. The heirs of William Dimes, jr,
both boys, enlisted as soldiers in the war
of the rebellion and were killed In battle,
leaving no heirs, by reason of which the
property was held by the children of Mary
and Martha Dimes, who are the defend
ants In this case.
The plaintiffs father. John Grinder,
purchased the lot July Is, 1868, and re-
ceived a deed therefor, which deed the
plaintiff lately discovered to be defective,
from the fact that the names of the Max
ley conveyors were misspelled, appear
ing In the conveyance as ''Masley."
The allegation in the bill of complaint
is that the defendants are taking advan-
tage of the defect, and are striving to
dispossess the plaintiff, declining TO make
q valid deed for the property.
