OWNS and controls a range twenty-five
miles wide and forty eight miles long
The Richards s. Comstock people owl
a range only a little smaller. Blu
there is no conflict between these biz
range men and the men who have only
a few acres homesteaded and a limited
range privilege. The big concern,
have pursued a policy of Cancellation
If the small herd owner wants to sell
out the big concerns pay him his price
and the matter is settled. If the small
herd owner wants to hold on aft.
er the big concerns have secured con
troll of all the land about him he is bot
molesttd. On the elntrary he is i'll.
lowed to pasture his cattle with the big
herds and his hay is purchased at Il
fair figure.
The result of this policy has been ad-
vsntageous to Cherry county. The big
ranch owners have prospered and the
little ranchmen have been benefited.
Up to date there has been no conflict
between the cattle men and sheep head
ers. The sheep men have not adyanc-
ed this far to the southeast yet. But
when they do no doubt the history
written in blood further to the north
westwill be repeated here. Sheep and
cattle cannot occupy the same range.
In the latter part of June, about the
goth Valentine will haye three days OF
horse racing and other western sports
that will be worth travelling hundreds
of miles to see. The trotter and the
paser are unknown in this section. The
cow pony and the rangy. runner are the
only kinds of horsefesh receiving any
particular. attention in this neck O. the
woods. The races will be running
races and purses aggregating more than
$1,000 have been hung up. The Indians
from the Rosebud Agency will be down
in full force, for they have a lot of
g~allopers that they are willing to bet
their last blanket upon. The sport
promises to be fast and furious.

The hospitality Of the citizens of
Valentine il unbOunded. Last week
the Efkhsra Valley Editorial Associa-
ton held it's fifth annual meeting here
and two dozen editors came to town.
When the train from the east pulled in
to the valentine station at 1;50 in the
morning a host of Valentine people
were on tbs depot platform to greet the
newspaper mer and escort them to CO.
" homes for entertainment. The
train from the west came in at 4:40 in
the mtrning, yet the visiting editors
who anne on that train found many to
welcome them.
Vixen one spends a couple of days IN
the society of the newspaper men of
Northwest Nebraska one is able to I'M
derstand why this section is receiving
the attention of people looking for 10
cations in which to engage in cattle
raising and mercantile pursuits. They
are the liveliest lot of hustlers imagln-
able and each is forever declaring that
his particular town and section are the
best that ever happened.
Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1901-06-20

It may not be generally known but
the fact is.that there is an industry OIL
er than cattle raising THAT is bound t.
grow in this section. Along the Mo
brara and Mlnnechaduza exist great de-
posts of fuller's' earth waiting for the

untold quantities along the Minnecha-

ing the famous Sioux uprising in 1890

itarv service, both militia and regular,
and the famous seventh cavalry was
stationed at TT. NIobrara when the
Sioux came down in II swarm and
threatened TO massacre every white
person i'll thu northwest. Valentine
was at it, l~ivtliest then. Those who
were not too badly frightened at the
ilea of ii lot of half starved indians
wrecking the government were work
ing day and night making money while
the soldiers was present.
From that day to this Valentine has
been prominently before the people.

that cattle raising was their only hope.
