candidate for nomination for the
Office of clerk of the district
court, subject to the will of the
republicans of Custer county.
For fifteen years l have to the
best of my ability, upheld the
standard of the republican party
in this county, through times
when it would have been to my
financial advantage to do other
wise, giving my services, such as
they we're, without money and
without price, supporting its
candidates through victory and
through defeat. During these
years / have never been a candi-
date for any Office, and trusting
/ am not now presumptious in
asking favorable consideration of
my claim. Very respectfully,
GEO. B. MAR.

Geo. B. MAR announces him
self in the Galloway Courier
candidate for Clerk of the Dis
trict court of Custer county sub
ject to the will of the republican
party. Mr.. MAR is editor of the
Galloway Courier and has been
faithful in and out of season.
This is his first appeal to the
voters of the county for an cleo
tive Office. We understand there
are other aspirants for the place
but as yet we are not authorized
to announce their names. Not
desiring to be a dictator as to
nominees the REPUBLICAN will
endeavor to be fair with each of
the aspirants that announces
himself, until all are in. Then
we shall reserve the right as a
citizen and a voter to support
those in our opinion best quail
fed, most deserving that will
subserve the best interests of the
public and the party.

CAN appears the announcements
Of Geo. B. MAR, candidate for
Clerk of the District Court aud
of J. NJ. Savidge of Galloway as
candidate for sheriff, subject to
the action of the republican
county convention. This we re-
gard as good president to es-
tablish. Any citizen has as
good right as another to aspire
to political honors. A public
announcement advises the public
and should all candidates an
nounce themselves for the several
places to be filled prior to hold
ing the primaries it would have
a tendency to attract good at
tendance and the choice of the
conventions would more nearly
be the choice of the voters. 1t
would have a tendency to prevent
combines which so often are det-
to party interests and
the best interest of the public.

Mart Stupplebeen, one of Our
up-river readers was a caller We'd
nesday, and reported stock
wintering we'll in his vicinity,
with good supply of feed yet on
hand. Mr.. Stupplebeen says
that, like most other farmers in
Custer county, it has taken him
twelve or fifteen years to find out
how to farm here. For years he
depended entirely apon selling
grain in the market, and with
crop failures and low prices got
deeper in debt each year and al
most discouraged at the outlook.
Now, instead of selling his grain
he feeds it to cattle and hogs
with the result that he is getting
out of debt and farming at pro-
fit. During the past year from a
herd of ten cows, he has received
$500 for cream besides raising a
good crop of calves. He has sold
$500 worth of hogs and has an
other bunch about ready for the
market. He has quite a start in
alfalfa, upon which he pastures
his hogs during the summer.
He says he can make money rails.

hogs at one-half the present

Representative A. H. Copsey
has introduced a bill in the legis-
lature No. 295, which provides
for compelling railroads to grant
elevator privileges to any one for
the purpose of shipping grain.
The object sought is a laudable
one. There are two or three
other bills of the same nature,
which would indicate that the
interest is sufficient to get some
legislation along that line.

The new revenue bill in all
probabilities will become law.
Its provisions will raise the val
uation of the property of Broken
Bow for assessment purposes,
from $4,000 the present assess
ed valuation to 100000 to $780,
900. That means that under the
present water works franchise
we will pay the owner of
the water works from 81, 400
to 3d. annually hydrant
rental. The interest at S per
per cent on a $4,000 bond will
cost us but 500 per annum. II
would save the city from $500 te
81, 100 year in interest to buy
the plant for the amount they
have been offered. The individ
ual water rent will more than pay
the running expense if operated

LEGISLATIVE NEWS.
Especial Core pondence
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. "a, 1903.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. "a, 1903.
The revenue bill is still the
prevailing topic of conversation
at the capital. The bill is to be
presented to the House this week,
and no doubt will be discussed to
the exclusion of other bills. The
new bill was agreed upon in de-
tail by the joint committee
week ago, and a subcommittee
has been at work carefully re-
vising it and correcting the
clerical errors in the typewriter
copies. The expectation is that
it will come before the house in
splendid shape, and that very few
important amendments will be
offered or adopted. There are
some few who are skeptical about
the passage of general bill, but
they seem to be in a decided
minority. In the Senate there
seems to be an overwhelming
sentiment in favor of the pro-
posed bill.
Among the standing COM
mittees during the past week tie
principal interest has centered
around the proposed elevator bills
and the investigation of telephone
rates. After several hearings,
the Ramsey elevator bill, House
Roll 20, has been recommended
for passage, with some slight
amendments. In the meantime
the committee to investigate
telephone rates has had several
warm meetings, and at this date
has come to no definite conclusion.
The evidence as to the expense of
conducting telephone business
has been most startling in its
variance, and it is probable that
further evidence will be heard
during the week. In the strife
as to whether the independent
lines shall be allowed to establish
toll statioas in the large cities,
the special telephone committee
seems to have, lined up with the
old line company.
The joint resolution calling for
a constitutional convention has
passed the senate by unanimous
vote, and is now in the hands of
the House committe. 1t is said
that it will receive considerable
opposition in the House, and may
not pass. The statement recent
ly made that the governor is OPP
posed to the idea of a convention
may have some effect in retarding
the resolution. There are many
who advocate the adoption of
amendments, instead of calling
a convention, on account of the
expense which would be incurred
by the convention. Others,
however, point to the fact that in
the last dozen years the state has
spent $4,000 attempting tc
adopt amendments, and failing
in each case.

The country is hearing with
more or less regularity now that
Colonel Bryan intends to rebuke
the gold democrats in case they
nominate Judge Parker for the
presidency by himself taking the
stump for Theodore Roosevelt.
OF course the colonel has made
no declaration of that intention,
but it is significant that some of
his most ardent followers in Ne
braska declare that they intend
to do just that thing. Hundreds
if not thousands of them here
are saying that they intend to re-
main quiet in case the fight is be-
tween Roosevelt and a Dave Hill
democrat, but that they will vote
for the president. State Journal.
1t will not matter much wheth-
er it is Dave Hill or some other
prominent democrat of the old
school. The voters of all politi-
cal parties and creeds, the poll
tician excepted are for Roosevelt.
We know personally of a number
of Cleveland and Bryan democrats
in this vicinity that are out
spoken for President Roosevelt
and his policy. What is true of
this locality is doubtless true of
every other locality.

The fuel famine has not vexed
Nebraska Notwithstanding she
has no coal mines and but little
natural timber. Why is it? In
the first place there has been an
education in the economy of fuel
that has been benificial-every
stick counts. Thousands of
farmers uses very small amount
coal in any year, depending on
the groves and cob piles for fuel.
l know of two cases in which
farmers used less than a ton of
of coal in 1902 for all cooking and
heating, and both were prairie
farms with no natural timber
within 100 miles. Nebraska is
the place for poor man, for the
lessons in economy coupled with
thrift will make him independent.
The dairy business in Nebraska
is making rapid Roadway, in
creasing 1915 in 1902 over 1901,
and at the present rate of in
crease in five years Nebraska will
lead in this product. There are
in the state now 258 skimming
stations and the number will be
increased this spring possibly to
300. Fifteen Car loads of butter
are being turned out each week
from the Lincoln Creamery alone
and the smaller concerns are doing
as we'll. The grade of dairy
stock is being rapidly improved
and with the finest water in the
world and untold acres of the
finest dairy food ever raised
"Alfalfa" the future OF the in
dustry is assured and it means
untold wealth for the state.
AS indicative of the rise in
farm lands in Nebraska, there
have been two land sales recently
at high figure. One farm of
100 acres in Richardson county
was sold for $4,000. This is the
first sale of farm land in that
county at that figure. In Adams
county, Rudolph Firme bought
4S0 acres for $4,000.

ing an outing along the lines of the
road The company, which numbered
alua, in the observation car of the
road, lunched at Haleiwa, visited the
Waialua plantation and then after din
ner at the hosiery returned to the city
by moonlight, arriving at IL o'clock.
The first leg of the run was to Eva

ty went through the great factory and
thoroughly inspected the workings of
the plant From that point the run
down the road was made leisurely, the
Sisal, Waianae, Makua and BARRIERS
point territory being looked over from
the train windows and finally the hotel
was reached just in time for late
luncheon. The afternoon visit was
made to the largest pumping plant in
the islands, and one of the greatest in
the world, and everything was duly adj
mireu by the visitors.
The dinner was served at one great
table which was decorated with flow

was not signed by anybody. 1t merely
said, at the end, by order of the Legis-
lature' No: I was not ready to re-
turn. My work on Maui was not finish
ed. In fact. had laid out to put in
one more week on that island, and all
the time was planned to be filed. 1t
is not my policy to order any work done
until have gone over the ground and
seen the proposed work. and 1 was
compelled to leave Maui at time when
there is a need of much public work
of various kinds on that island.
What does the Legislature want
with me? 1 don't know. 1 have come
home in answer to the summons. That
is all 1 know about it. OF course my
plans for work on Maui are not all
laid out yet. 1t is probable that the
landings at Keanae, Hama and Nahiku
will receive attention in the near flu
ture. A survey will also be ordered. in
all probability, of the main road from
Nahiku into KahuIui. The road up into
Nahiku and the Upper nomesteads is
also an important one.
IT made the trip overland from Ka-
hului to Hama, a thing that is not often
than a trail. There is a good road
from the Homesteads into Hama, but
for the rest it is the most primitive
trails. From all appearances, the Ha-
ma district has had little attention
from the Department of Public Works
in the past. 1 also made a trip to
O'Shaug hnessy's Camp. O'Shaughnes-
sly is the engineer of the new ditch
that is to be built in that vicinity. That
is a most important piece of work.
Il had a meeting with the citizens of
Wailuku while 1 was away, at Kahu-
lui, and the question of whether the |
west side landing for Waikiki should |
at Maalaea or whether it should |
be removed to McGregor's bay was dis |
cussed. If it is to be changed. that |
fact should be known as quickly as
possible, because the present wharf is
in bad CONDITION and must be repair
ed if it is to continue to be used. The
sentiment of the people is rather in
favor of McGregor's, but there was
nothing definite determined upon.
Il had a good look at the forests in
the Hama district, while 1 was away.
That has shown me that it is of the
utmost Importance to have contour
ines run and the forests above those
ines preserved. In fact, 1 had planned
almost to circle the island of Maui this
rip. If 1 had done that, would have
known pretty well what was needed
