TO- Leaving Goodland at 8 o'clock
the morning of December 1, put US
behind one train at Pueblo that caused
a delay of six hours, but from there
We took the Santa Fe and had no delay
only the necessary stops at division
stations until We reached Cotton, Cal,
which is about eighteen miles east of
here. At that point we transferred to
the Southern Pacific railroad and we're
delayed fourteen hours and all because
the two roads are not on good terms,
but we reached Ontario, Cal, where
We Unloaded about o'clock Friday
afternoon, making the time five days
and fourteen hours, so you see that
when We we're moving we had to move
fast. We found a very Obliging set of
men over the Santa Fe route and can
recommend that route to any one con-
templating shipping to the far west.
We did not pass through any country
that looked as inviting as even Sher-
man county, except a little valley
north of Albuquerque, n. H., and that
is farmed by Indians and Mexicans
because one cannot secure a good title
to the land. Nearly all the towns are
mining camps and Indian villages and
do not look very inviting, but some
of them turn out a train load of
freight daily and situated in the most
barren and desolate country one can
imagine. We were not out OF sight of
mountains after we got in sight of the
Rockies near Colorado Springs and
tramps ! have heard Of but never saw
the like before. At points where oUr
car was standing still had to stand in
the door and keep them cut. At night
they congFegate at points along the
line where they can get wood and build
big fire and so keep warm throughout
the night. Many of these people are
intelligent men and some would ask
fer a ride to help them to get some
place where they could get work. Is
it any wonder that some Of the people
in the vest want it made possible that
these poor creatures can get work.
After crossing the Colorado river at
Needles, Cal, We pass over the great
sandy desert for over 100 miles and
then come to this valley and the con

The RAINY SEAB1H RBH Oh.
Wednesday Rain Ushsred in the Commence
ment Of the Season
The Agricultural Interests Could Not Be
BETTER Suited with the Weather
Flowing for Spring Grain
VIII Now Begin.

Wednesday afternoon the weather
took a change and a steady rain from
the south took the place Of the summer
conditions that had been holding
forth for a fortnight or more.
The rain continued all night and for
a considerable time Thursday, wetting
down the ground thoroughly which
being already in the'best condition for
several years, was in the best Of shape
to absorb and retain the moisture that
fell.
With the sound of the raindrops on
the roof and the sight of the dripping
caves the spirits OF western Kansas rose
in the scale Of hope, and the doubling
ones once more became enthusiastic
over the prospects Of a successful
croppage season.
Standing in the light Of past history
the people Of western Kansas have be.
come needIessly pessimistic. The crop
failures that have so discouraged them
we're not local, but embraced the entire
west and even penetrated to the heart
of the eastern agricultural country
where heretofore a failure on account
of drouth had been a thing unknown
But with all its hardships the barren
years have proved perhaps blessing
It has directed the farmer to study
more closely climatic conditions and
to lend more attentive ear to the
teachings OF nature, and the experience
gained during the years just past viii
prove Of greatest value in the future
of western agriculture.
But the rain that fell, soaking the
fields and prairies, has been boon tC
farmers as it allows the spring work tt
begin at once, causes the crop already
in to sprOut, insures an early start o.
grass and is a braeer for his determine
ton to succeed where so many have
propheised him failure.
A larger acreage of spring grain vii
be put in this year than last and pillow
ing therefor has been going on for two
weeks OF more and the work from nov
on will be pushed more rapidly.
Western Kansas is comparatively {
new country and has had its accom-
paning ups and downs, but that neeC
not discourage anyone, for the prairiei
and valleys of this noble domain il
destined to become the most produe
tive and valuable part of the west anC

THE OLD BELL COW.

When was but boy used so happily to
roam
Through every nook and corner of the dear
old country home.
At deWy morn to pasture would drive
the cows and when
The sun was fading in the west drove
them home again.
There was one among their number re-
member very well,
1t seems but yesterday saw the cow that
wore the bell.
She wasn't any prettier nor of better
breed,
But all the others followed her wherever
she would lead;
And in my youthful mind used to wonder
why and how
1T was that all the cattle tagged the old
bell COW.
Strange years of shadow and of shine have
passed away since then,
And now / mingle daily with the busy
hosts of men,
And still muse as earnestly as what I
used to do,
For men, 1 find, are likewise quite peculiar
creatures, too.
And some have natures made OF gold, with
out speck or flaw,
While some are only gilded forms all
padded out with straw.
And while the modest, worthy man the
world may never heed;
The counterfeit, who loudly bragS, steps
in and takes the lead,
The one who ''toots his horn" is sure to
get the crowd, and now
/ know why all the cattle tagged the old
bell COW.
