About the biggest crop story we have
heard for many day comes from Val
ley township. Is is something like
this: In the spring Andrew Roessler
borrowed corn planter from a neigh
Dor for the purpose of putting in few
acres of cow peas. The peas have the
reputation of being very rapid growers
and the story goes that Andy neglected
to take the planter out of the field the
evening he finished planting, and the
next morning when he went in search
of the borrowed implement he could
see nothing but a network of pea
vines. He hunted that field over two
days before he found the planter, and
when he took it home and was cues
toned as to why he did not return it
sooner he exclaimed, Gee whiz! those
peas grew up and covered the planter
before could get it out OF the field;
you are very fortunate man to get
your planter at ALL" Well, those peas
have completely bluffed the dry wealth
er and besides making a good forage
crop, MIR. Roessler will fatten a hun.
dred head of hogs. If this crop is ex-
sggerated our reporter is 70 blame.

Jacob Achenbach, the Hardtner
ranchman, was in the city on Saturday.
Mr.. Achenbach is one of the solid farm.
ers and stockmen of Barber county and
succeeds in spite of the dry weather.
He has ranch of about 1000 acres in
the southwest part of the county, we'll
stocked and always raises his own feed.
This year he harvested large acreage
Of wheat which yielded about 20 BUSH
els per acre, good quality. He says it
would have yielded great deal more
had not the June storms shelled 80
much of it out before cutting. His
corn will be very light, although he will
gather considerable on account of hav-
ing planted extensively. Instead OF
blowing all his ground for wheat this
year, Mr.. A. will list considerable
amount and later fill the burrows by
means of cultivatOr. He can get ov-
er the ground much more rapidly in
this way and he thinks it Will equal
blowing. Jake says this is a country
in which to experiment and he believes
in trying new scheme each veal. His
schemes are generally good ones.

On Monday the Township Board en-
tered into contract with Long &Noble
to litlgate the funding railroad bonds
amounting to Sis, 900. The conditions
of the agreement are that Messrs. Long
& Noble bear all the expense of litlga.
ton and receive for their service Is per
cent of the bonds they succeed in de-
featlng. In the event they fail to sue
coed they will receive nothing for their
service and they will not be reimbursed
for the expense of litigation. The
grounds for litigation. we understand,
are that the vote was canvassed irregu-
larly and not according to law and 1t is
therefore question as to whether the
will of the people of the township was
expressed when the bonds were voted.
The bonds have changed hands several
times since they were issued. Should
Long & Noble succeed Medicine Lodge
township will be over $l2, 900 better sit
uated besides saving the interest which
is being annually paid on the debt.

Alva Review: w. G. German, of
Jett, has gone to Lamar, Colorado,
where he has been employed to teach
school during the coming winter. A
suit has just been instituted by j. P.
Renfrew, ex-treasurer of Woods county
against the board of county commission
ers claiming S2S7 as portion of his
first quarters salary in 1895. The above
amount was paid in warrants that
proved to be illegal on account of the
over reaching of the four per cent. linn
it prescribed by law. The result of
this suit will be watched by the tax
payers of the county with more than
usual interest, for if decided to be a
valid claim it Will open the door to the
county's liability for the payment OF
some $751; $50 of similar class Of war
rants now outstanding.

This week we begin publishing a con-
tinued story entitled Bill McKinley's
Prosperity" 1t it will be found on
the first and fourth pages. This by no
means relates the whole story. There
are about twice as many town lots in
the county on which no taxes are paid,
but the valuation has fallen below $40
and the law does not require that they
be published. If this kind of prosperi-
ty continues much longer the county
will have no taxpayers left.

Wehear considerable complaint about
the condition of the sidewalks in the
city. and especially the one leading to
the depot. On Monday citizen ask
ed US to call the attention of the public
to the fact that this walk IS very much
in need of repair as it is not safe. The
walk being elevated about two feet
above the ground should anyone receive
a fall it would result seriously. The
proper authorities should look after
this matter. 1t might be the means of
saving the city trouble and expense Ia
