DEWEY BUYS MORE LAND.

Four Farmers With Large Acreage on the
Beaver Transfer Their Holdings
Four more Sherman county farmers
last week cspitulsted to the onward
march Of Dewey capital They are ".
II. Gilbert, IN Llanos township; Samuel
Holmes, Joe S. Williams and Barney Nc
Cluskey, all in ShermanviIle township
AS rule Dewey has bee1 paying their
price and there seems to be no III viii or
friction between buyer and seller. The
farmers whom Dewey has been buying
out were fsvOrably located along the
Beaver, and all have done better than 10
make ends meet They have made
money, and some Of them at least would
have preferred to hold their land had
they thought their neighbors would hold
on, too Face to face with the probab-
ility that Dewey would surround him by
acquiring adjacent land, the small
rsncher makes the best Of the circum
stances. sells at fair figure and gets out.
Some Of the farmers have let 60 Of
their land as a business proposition and
viii again Duy for less money in another
part Of the county, while others will
shake the dust Of Sherman county from
their feet.
Farmers living on the edge Of Dewey
territory are now wondering if fate viii
call after them, too, but meanwhile con-
sole themselves with the thought that it
is a long lane that has no turn, and
Dewey, Midas like, may sometime have
his wish.
Be that as it may. the large land pur
chases OF the Dewey Cattle company
have brought many people to the Ger
tain realization that Sherman county
land is far more valuable than they were
wont to regard it. Capitalists and far
seeing men have taken advantage Of this
and in time viii be abundantly reward
ed. Instead Of thinking that Sherman
county farm, is an index of a mans pow
erty better think that to own one, not
many years hence, viii be an index Of
his wealth and independence.

The League Entertainment.

The entertainment given at the Meth
odist church Saturd ay evening under
the auspices Of the Epworth league
was Loyalty patronized. Every seat was
occupied as early as 80 o'clock and at
500 o'clock the rear Of the church was
short on standing room.
Miss Rose, Of Colby, the reader, gave
the entertainment, assisted by G. ".
Mccormick, H. W. Stewart and Elmer
Anderson. The violin solos by Mr.. An
derson were executed with good int0na-
ton The songs by Messrs. Mccormick
and Stewart were not as good as they
usually are. The unfayOrable proper
ton of the church and the crowded
situation made their singing somewhat
labOred, but the selections were good.
Miss Rose it was who brought the
hearty laugh Of the small boy and the
approving smile Of their elders. "a mer.

Petitions Being Forwarded to the Legis-
Iatare TO That End.
An effort is being made by the peo-
pie Of Sherman county TO have the leg
islature pass q law to reopen all section
lines in this county.
Originally section lines we're open
highways, but two years ago in the in
terest Of capitalists and cattle barons
q law vas stealthily pushed through
the legislature permitting the fencing
Of section lines by large holders pro-
viding some sort Of gates were put in
to allow travel on section lines, aud
this same law imposes a penalty upon
any traveller who should 20 through
the gate and fail to close it after him.
This law was fastened upon several
Ounties, and in each case was very
unpopular as soon as it became known
TO the people. 1t is TO be hoped that
section lines viii be reOpened, and that
instead of a penalty for leaving open a
gate on the public highway, there will
be a penalty for fencing it.
1t is a conspicuous fact that for a
number Of years the representatives
from Sherman county have hardly kept
themselves IN touch with the people
they represent, aud thus It comes that
We have in this case been wronged By
surreptious encroachment. and no one

The Rock Island railroad is the latest
convert to the value of advertising.
Since it changed owners Isst summer
it has branched out in a way that has
surprised the railroad world. From the
most conservative Of western lines it has
become one Of the most aggressive.
Advertisements Of the Golden State
Limited, the Rock Islands new Califor-
MIA train appear IN almost all the maya
zines and weeklies OF national circula-
ton as well as in hundreds Of daily pa
pers east of the Missouri river. AS a
result Of this advertising the Rock
Island is now handling the largest Cal
ifOrnia travel in the history Of the road.
Some Of the catch phrases which the
Rock Island is using are decidedly
unique Among them are: "ROck
Island Meals are the Best on Wheels
THE Rock Island States Of America; =
