Ed CHIFE:-Dear SIR: As We are
approaching the spring Of 1895. It
ia TO be hoped we will have . more
favorable season then that Of the past,
with good crops aad contentment.
In conversing with some Of our
neighbors | learn that there is q peti.
ton circulated through some parts Of
the county of Webster, for the pur.
pose Of authorizing the Board Of Sup.
ervisors to call a special election to
vote bonds on the county, TO the
mount Of 10000, Ms provided by the
late relief bill. To aid in feed aud
seed TO tho farmers who are unable to
procure the same within themselves.
A glance or FIRST thought Of the short
age Of grain aud fodder for stock, un.
til grass, will compel any man to say
that something must be done, but
how? In order that these farmers
will get enough feed and SEQ to put
in q crop, and put such farmers on
their feet, at the least expense to the
entire tax payers and maintain the
integrity and cre'it Of the county OF
Webster. Now fellow citizens, l wish
il to be remembered that in 1879 the
legal voters of said county voted q
railroad bond Of 47,500 to run fifteen
years At eight per cent per annum un-
til paid. You also remember they
became due January !, 1894, and

Nov then fellow farmers, you see BY
these figures that il the last blanke,
Is purchased by your voice we will
have . good heavy blanket, all wool
aud "a miles square, which will cover
every man, woman and child in the
county Of Webster and keep US warm
during this cold month Of February
at least. including all personal and
realty, while fuel is high and scarce
and money is ssarcer It seems to me
that the first thing to be done and
l think the right and proper way to
do would be that the supervisors Of
the several townships appoint one
member Of the whole board of each
school district and each board inves.
tigate and inquire into the need of all
families in their respective districts
througout tho whole county, this oil
can be done in two or three days.
Then these boards report their finding
to their several supervisors and by
them they can better know the needs
Of the people, the number in each
township aud estimate the mount Of
Indebtedness required or for bonds to
be voted upon and issued.
Now again let US look, surprising
after the above is done, and we find
IS farmers in each township of 1G
townships which would make
1900 farmers, all of which make their
businers farming aud need seed and
feed. They say we vo,e $40, 900
which we will ''for sure" the cost of
election. the selling Of the bonds, the
cost Of buying seed to plant, grain,
hay or straw to feed, and this man or
set OF men to furnish the same TO the
applicants and settle with them for
the same.
We will allow these gentry included
10 the within $2,40O which would
leave $37, 600 to be issued out to 1900
farmers and those employed in agri.
culture. Then the $4,000 equally
divided il that should be the rule
would give to each Of the number .
little over $3l worth Of stuff and no
more. Now il looks to me when the
whole matter is looked up, you will
find very few but can shift some way
to get seed and feed enough to last
during seeding and planting time as
that is the only time such will DO
given seed and feed. And for that
purpose l find there are q good many
land or farm owners who will furnish
their tenants with seed and feed or at
least those who can't do so themselves.
II it should be found upon invest,gs.
ton that there are persons who can in
no way get seed and feed themselves.
Then l would suggest that the county
board appropriate sufficient funds to
supply these people out of the general
and road fund or some su,h way, and
to stop building bridges, stop opening
new roads ON county and state lines,
and stop appropriating county funds
to the several townships for the pres.
ent year. But TO apply every avail.
able dollar Of such to all farmers in
need Of help. By SO doing think l
VIC can sinch the emergency equally as
well as the other way above stated.
Fellow citizens let US look this over
carefully aud thereby do, in our judg.
ment, is best in honor aud credit.

After Twenty Years.

ALI Doten in his Carson correspon-
dence to the Reno Journal says:
About twenty years ago, when Geo
w. Webb WIS Superintendent of the
State Orphans Home, Mr.. Hook and
wife residing in Placerville, Califor-
MIA, died, leaving two small children.
Webb being Il strong personal friend,
was made administrator of their es.
tate and guardian of the children.
Hook and wife had $1,000 insurance
each on their lives II, favor of the
children. Webb collected the insur-
ance In due time but never made any
account of it. The children, now
grown up, live in Butte, Montana, and
recently the son employed u lawyer
there to look into the matter. He has
done SO, and definitely ascertained
that the life insurance was paid long
ago, he came upon the bOndsmen of
Webb, Daniel Kitzmeyer and Geo. II -.
Davis, who we're his sureties as adj
ministrator for $500 each. He has re-
ceived the 81 900, but Webb died some
years ago leaving nothing, the IN
worthy sherherd of the Orphans Home
robbed those two orphan children of
$4,000
