1t must prove a success here. When
our low lands are all made valuable,
by irrigation, the transition to irriga-
tiOn of the uplandS will be natural
and certain and, to our mind, there is
no question that within the next de-
cade the most of the farming lands in
our community will be productive and
that independent of the usual rain
fall. Surely we have reasons for be-
ing hopeful. Again there never was
a better prospect for a wheat crop at
this season of the year. And in adj
dition to all that we have said we
might add that immigration is now
turning this way and good crop next
year will be sufficient inducements
for many in the East to change their
habitation ana secure a cheap home
of their own. Hence we repeat that
in taking retrospective view of the
past year, coupled with our present
prospects for a brighter future, we
have reason to be thankful and should
take fresh courage. The people of
western Kansas have passed through
many diSappointments but, as rule,
have never lost faith. We believe
their courage and steadfastness will
be richly rewarded and that the time
for their rejoicing is close at hand.

Used Both Ends.

The Commissioners of Thomas coun-
ty have placed a bounty of $3.50 on
wolf scalpS, which leads the Atwood
Citizen to remark that the Rawlins
county boys should hurry up and get
their Scalps over into Thomas county
before the Commissioners rescind the
bounty This reminds us of one of
George Veale's stOries-the George
Veale who fixed up taxes for the
Union Pacific. A couple of years ago
Wallace county paid big bounty on
gopher scalps and the magnitude of
the business may be understood when
we relate that it took about SIC, 900 in
special taxes for the railroad to pay it's
share. The company might have
stood this tax, but it rebelled when
Logan, an adjoining county, put a
bounty upon gopher tails, thus giving
the boys an opportunity to double
bang the turn. The company took
the special tax to the supreme court
and beat it.-Mail.

Wastarn Kansas.

Some of the western Kansas coun-
ties are running short of men to fill
the various county and township Of
fees, and it has been suggested that
consolidation be worked out there.
Under the constitution they have
members of the legislature and there
are enough counties sympathizing
be disfranchised by consolidation. It
is too late for that and the only thing
to do is to help develop them. We
can remember when Clay, Dickinson
and Saline were in the same trouble,
and eastern counties not then half as
valuable as Clay, Dickinson and Sa-
line have since become, were calling
them coyotes, buffalOs and prairie
dogs, and the same talk was INDUCED
in concerning consolidation or some
other method of evading that provi-
sion of the constitution giving each
organized county member of the leg
iSlature. To help us in the east the
west must be helped out. In irriga-
riOn and alfalfa they have struck won
derful helpers. And just as sure as
time moves on, some other feature
like that great salt deposit will de-
velop to emphasize the fact that the
great plain extending to the foot Of
the mountains is calculated to be a
wonderful home for man. The heroic
self sacrificing and unWayerinV lOyal-
ty and energy and enterprise which
have characterized the settlers of
Kansas who have pushed it's borders
from the Missouri to the west line
will conquer all natural obstacles

Garfield's birthday, November 10Th,

flag and some appropriate exercises.
In this way the children are taught
the lessons of patriotism.
The record kept by the principal
shows that more than two hundred
volumes from the library have been
read by the pupils since the opening
of the school. The value of the in
formation from this source can not be
estimated in dollars and cents as it
directs the minds of our children in
the proper channel.
The Literary association held its
regular session on Wednesday after
noon. The program consisted princi-
pally of appropriate Thanksgiving ex-
ercises. One of the leading features
was the debate by six pupils from
Miss Stradal's room upon the ques-
tion, Resolved, That we derive more
pleasure from Thanksgiving than
Christmas" The affirmative was
championed by Ella Inscho, Maud
Hobbs and Katie Cowick and the neg
alive Robert Sims, Chase Wilson and
Willie Lucas. While the decision was
rendered in favor of the affirmative
the champions on either side were de-
serving of great credit for the clear
ness of the argument presented.
