Letter From CpIcrads


Sterling, Colo, Feb. l6, 'O2. Editor
of the Valley TIMEs.-I would like to
tell the people of Harrison county
something about Colorado winter.
About the Goth of January we had q
week of good, cold winter weather
A light, feathery snow fell, very dry
and vapory, such snow we never see
there, and when the sun came out it
gradually disappeared, causing no dis
comfort and no water or mud. 1t has
been very beautiful ali the week. The
ground is bare, and the roads are per-
fect,y dry and as smooth as pavement.
Yesterday the farmers, or more pro
perly speaking, the ranchmen, came to
town from every direction. The streets
were full of wagons, carriages, riders
on horseback, others on wheels, COM
ing and going Just as if it was May
instead of February. 1t would do the
Iowa farmers who have dragged
through the deep SHOWS, good just to
see this place. We seem to be in a
most favored spot, for there is snow
west of US.
The genial face of Ed Mcqueen is
seen on our street, he having accepted
position in DelZell's hard ware store.
He took spin across the country to.
day with his family. He pronounces
Colorado all right.
There is no snow here, but there is
plenty of pure air and bright sunshine
which makes life pleasure. There
are many farms for sale. There are
homesteads to be had that are worth
having. There is the broad range as
free as the pure air, where you can
put one COW or thousand. There are
the irrigation bitches where when you
want water you unlock your gates and
there's your water-nO watching the
clouds. There is q good, moral, tenn
perste town to live in and raise your
children in, with every influence for
good. The first thing that strikes q
stranger is the extreme quietness OF
the town; every day and all the time
the same. There is q progressive
warm hearted people here in both
town and country tina. it does one good
to meet. have seen much to admire
but nothing to condemn in Colorado.
| We are we'll and doing well. David
wishes me to tell the "boys" that he
went hunting yesterday along the
Platte and shot two jack rabbits.
| There is to be meeting of delegates
from three states, Nebraska, Wyom-
ing and Colorado On the 26th and 9th
respecting irrigation, storage reser.
voirs. In my next will try and tell
you what transpires and also talk q
little more about irrigation. More

improvements at the Valley.

There Is very strong probable
lty that the CO N w will make
some very important changes a
Missouri Valley this coming year
Those changes will be in the ma
ture of improvements that will be-
OF substantial benefit to that town
and the surrounding country. II
| is understood that the Valley will
be made the principal water sta
tion between Council Bluffs and
Carroll. The removal of the shops
to the eastern part of town and
the erection of a station such as
the company should have at the
Valley. at or near the present site
of the shops are among the con-
templated improvements.
Ii the Valley had newspaper
run by mon instead Of boys, one
that would work for the interests
of the town instead of being run
In the interests of the owner, and
to show OF his egotism or give
him an opportunity to persecute
those who may differ with him
the future of the Valley might be
very bright. But with two feeble
dailies, both of which always
choose the wrong side of every
public question and which are
locked upon by outsiders as the
opponents of Missouri Valleys
abilities and sentiments, the Wall
ley is seriously handicapped. Ii
the Valley had a newspaper run
as a newspaper should be run, for
the good of the town and county.
its progress for the years to come
would undoubtedly be something
to be proud Logan Observer.
Isn't that rich, coming from the
Logan Observer, paper that is
run solely and only for the pur-
pose of filching the county out of
every line of county printing that
republican officials can possibly
rake up Isn't the above the top
notch of egotism when it is known
that the editor of the Observer is
the supposed proprietor of 2x4
sheet published in backwoods
town of about 1900 inhabitants.
The DAILY TIMES publishes more
news EVERY DAY than the Obser-
yer gets in an entire week-news
that is news and not soldering
drivel like the stuff that fills the
Observer from week to week in
the interest of the Logan gang.
The only object on earth JOHN
McCabe has is the few crumbs be
receives from the county officials
and for those few crumbs he is
willing to publish anything and
everything that his owners may
want said about any man whom
they want to ruin. John, you are
o~+A:e Ill
your old age. A nightmare like
you issue each week would not be
tolerated by the intelligent people
of Mo Valley for month, If you
would attempt to issue such a
travesty on newspaper in this
city as the Observer is you would
be taken out behind the barn ard
knocked in the head, the same af
many other dogs have been served
in this city during the last week.
John, you are a fool.

Temperance and Abstinence.

The temperance question has never
been more alive than at the present
time, but it seems to have taken on a
new form. DIR. Lyman Abbott favors
local option" as the only sane, practi-
cal solution of the Sunday liquor prob
lem in New York city. DIR Isaac, q
Well-knOWn temperance leader, says
that he would not make New York Il
prohibition city even if he could do "
by mandate. He does not Believe in
an attempt to enforce such Il law until
the majority of the people are in favor
Of il.
In Great Britain the trend of the
Temperance question seems to be in a
similar direction. The nited King
dom alliance, the most prominent tenn
perance body, shows signs of wide
difference of opinion within its ranks.
While some of its members are hold
ing fast to the total abstinence idea
others are inclined to leavethe alliance
and join hands with any who aim at
restricting rather than prohibiting the
consumption of liquor.
These say that more people drink
and on the average drink more than
formerly, and yet there is less drunken.
ness prevalent. They hold that wise
restriction conduces not to abstinence
but to temperance, that it controls ex-
cess and allows sociabllity without the
license of sprees.
Henry 5 Pritchett, president of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technol
ogy. lie claims to advocate true tenn
perance and believes that the interests
of temperance are better served by
treating the question OF teetotalism as
less important matter. He prefers
to have students congregate where bee I
is under the CONTROL of the institute
than to have them go where the use of
beer is unlimited
Few questions of the day are as i'm.
portant as this Since prohibition is
Impossible even if it were desirable, ii
must be in the best interests of TEN.
perance that its advocates seek some
practical way that will lead to true re-
formation and not to hypocrisy and
undetermined dealing Chicago Chron
