Boquet for JuIesburg Citizen.

A. J. Walrath, Of Julesburg was in
Ogalalla this week, and the News ac-
knowledges friendly call, which was
much appreciated. Mr.. Walrath has
helped, as but few others have done,
to make the history OF this country.
He and his bride were here. when a
passenger train would stop tor them at
their home, and the passengers were
all aboard when they were on the train
Tradition says he was often compelled
to eat with the indians to keep them
from eating with him. Since those
days he has never failed to apply his
energy to any enter prise that would
aid in upbuilding the best interests Of
the country, either socially or tlnan,
cially, and deserves the reputation he
has always merited of being a "prince
of good fellows. ."-Ogalalla News.

Lippincott's for April

The best British fiction OF today is
coming from the younger men. Archi.
bald Eyre is Of these, and his laugha-
BILE and delightful novel called "The
Trifler," which appears in full in the
April number Of Lippincott's maga-
zine, gives evidence of his talents.
The THRILLER is younger son." whose
elder brother is busy member OF the
Government. This brother has mar
ried an old flame Of The Trifler's who
has had other little affairs. One of
these begOt certain love letters which
the Tilted suitor now publishes for
private circulation The Trifller now
comes to his sister-in-law's aid, but in
obtaining the letters is charged with
theft, and a pretty kettle-of-fish en-
sues. The readers enjoy every word of
the story and ask for more when The
Tritler shows how he can be strenuous
enough in his own wooing.

Irrigation Work

Five projects for artificial irrigation
have been approved by the interior de-
partment and orders issued for the
elaboration OF plans and the prepara-
tion OF everything required for actual
operations. These projects are scat
tered through the states of Arizona,
Colorado, Montana, Nevada, and Wy
oming and it is estimated that their
cost will be 81 900, 900. Predictions as
10 the amount of land that will be i'm
proved by them vary, running from
a0,OOO, 600 to 100, 100000 acres.
The first work along this line in
Colorado will be done upon the Gun
nison river. The specifications for a
reservoir upon that stream have al
ready been approved by the Interior
department and work will commence
as soon as the weather will permit.

Information for Beet Growers

Expert information TO beet growers
is along the following line: The pres
ent indications are that this will be q
rather late spring, which will allow
only short time to prepare the soil.
For this reason it is urged that farm
ers get their tools in shape SO that no
time will be lost when spring opens.
Manure should be hauled upon the
ground before the frost leaves it so no
injury will be done the soil by tramp
ing while it is wet. 1t is important
that sufficient teams be provided to
get beet land all plowed within week
or ten days and worked down as fast
as plowed to a perfect seed bed while
moist, as this will crush the clods and
retain moisture near the surfacc-this
is absolutely necessary. Loose potato
ground not having been tramped by
| stock will grow an excellent crop If it
is in high state Of cultivation by the
use of potato Cultivator run eight or
ten inches deep, and in the opposite
direction of potato rows. Conditions
being favorable planting should i'm
mediately follow, being careful that
the land is sufficiently dry to allow
clean aud proper working Of the drill.
Wild oat lands should be so thoroughly
worked as to destroy the seeds. Most
growers realize the advantage of
planting as soon as conditions are
right, as early as the last Of March
or early in April. Since the beet seed
is planted only about II inches deep it
is important that there be moisture
enough to germinate the seed before
the ground drys out-which is some
times very quickly in this arid coun
| try.-Pouder Valley.

The different features OF the
contracts offered by the Grand
Island End Eaton people were
discussed at some length. Mr..
EweI championing his company
in able manner. However. be-
fore any definite action could be
taken upon the proposition to re-
consider the decision of the asso-
citation to contract with the Eaton
fcctory, a number of stockholders
had left the meeting and an ad-
journment was taken to 7.30
o'clock of the same evening.
At the evening meeting q ma
jority of the stockholders were
present, and after lengthy gen.
eral discussion Of the subject in
hand an amicable agreement was
reached by the two factions.
This agreement was that the acre
age planted by the association be
divided between the Eaton and
the Grand Island factories, the
latter being given twenty acres
and the former twenty-five acres.
BY contracting with the two fac
tories the association will be en-
abled to determine which COM
pany's contract is the better, and
better test of the profits in beet
raising can be made.
In addition TO the twenty FIVE
acres furnished by the associa-
ton the Eaton factory has con-
tracts for about 100 acres with
farmers in this vicinity, and the
experiment of sugar beet cul
ture will be thoroughly tried in

The "Taapayers" Ticket

a second munlclpal tlcket was
placed in nomination last Monday.
The ticket is called the 'Taxpay-
ers' ticket and was nominated by
petition signed by fifty nine per-
sons Il majority of whom are resi-
dents of Julcsburg.
The ticket is headed by ]. S.
Drake, candidate for mayor, and
contains the names Of the follow
ing other candidates: Trustees,
G.. j. DeBerard, r. j. Hall. Aug
ust Fischer: treasurer, B. A.
Vaughan. No candidate for
clerk and attorney was nomi-
mated.
1he Taxpayers ticket is com
posed. in the main, of good men.
Two of the men nominated upon
this ticket, namely. L. j. Hall
and B. A. Vaughan, had been
previously nominated upon the
Citizens ticket.
Against tho personnel of the
Taxpayers ticket nothing very
disparaging can be said, but
against the avowed platform up
on which the ticket was nominat-
cd, many disparaging things
might be said. Should, by chance,
the Taxpayers ticket be elected
in its entirety, the policy of a
part of the officials elected will be
one of retrogression. An effort
will be made to rescind the action
of the preceding board of trustees
in purchasing site for a public
park; the outstanding bonds of
the town will be repudiated, and.
in fact, an effort will be made to
''kuock OUT the town incorpora-
ton and return to the happy state
of a country village.
We do not believe that such q
policy Of retrogression and repud-
alton should win. Nor do we be-
lievc that it will win. The large
majority of the citizens of Jules
burg are progressive. Further
more, they are honorable. They
have no desire to retrograde;
neither have they desire to re-
pudiate their just obligations.
We believe the large majority of
Julesburg citizens are in favor of
the town buying a site for pub
lie park, and arranging with the
county commissioners, for proper
consideration, to furnish the coun-
ty site for court house in this
park. Part of block of lots in a
central location has already been
purchased by the town board; the
commissioners have levied q tax
for the purpose of building a court
house, and if the town does its
part towards furnishing the site.
work on the court house will be
commenced early this summer.
Will the people elect two or
three men who will attempt to
clog the wheels of progress and
throw all possible obstacles in the
way of the proposed public i'm
provementsl We think not.
Rather do we think they will
elect men at the coming election
who will walk hand-in- hand with
the county commissioners, and
who will continue the policy of
progress already inaugurated.
10 do this they will vote the 'Citi-
zens' ticket at the election April
7th.

Report Of the strike Commission

The anthracite coal commission has
decided in favor Of the miners the main
contention between them and the
mine owners. 1t holds that conditions
in the spring of 1902 justified the min
ers in demanding 10 per cent advance
upon the wage scales OF 1901, and
awards them such advance from Octo-
Der, 1902, to March 81, 1906.
Upon the question of recognition"
of the uniou-whether the mine own
ers shall deal with the union as body
the commission does not touch. 1t
holds that question to have been ex-
cluded from its jurisdiction by the
arbitration agreement.
The commission also holds that the
miners are entitled to certain reforms
in coal mining methods for which they
have long contended. The most i'm
portant Of these is that coal produced
shall be paid for by actual weight
wherever possible and that the miners
are entitled to have, at their own ex-
pense, check weighman to see that the
weights are correctly recorded.
The commission also holds that for
the safety of all concerned, engineers
and fremen should not work more than
eight hours a day, and that the work
ing day of men paid by time and not by
product should not be more than nine
hours.
AS the mine owners agreed in ad-
vance TO accept the decision OF the
commission upon the points decided
they cannot, unless they are prepared
to take the conseq uences of so outrag-
eousa violation Of their public pledges,
refuse to put those decisions into eff
feet.
The miners union and labor organi-
cations generally will, of course, be dis
appointed at the commissions refusal
to decide the "recognition" question.
that is policy which organized labor
feels to be the fundamental condition
Of industrial peace.
They should remember, however,
that the miners union and labor Or
CARNATIONS offered in the beginning to
waive recognition II the 10 per cent
advance were granted. The mine
owners refused the advance, and so the
miners struck.
The mine owners have been defeat
ed before the cGmr sSion nm tho mi rt
which caused the strike. The miners
are victorious upon that point.
The mine owners, and not the min
ers' union, are held to have been pri-
marily responsible for the strike and
all the suffering and danger it caused
the nation. To have that point au-
thoratively decided is great victory
for the miners union.

British Tribute to American Army


A remarkable and gratifying tribute
to the American army in the Philip
pines has just been paid by II. II. Har-
ford, the retiring British consul at
Manila. Mr.. Hartford says in part,
"As al old calvary and infantry officer
shall remember with great pleasure
and pride my association in Manila
with the most splendid and humane
army of our Anglo Saxon race on earth.
and while, as an Englishman, l natur-
ally glory in your hours of triumph and
victory, my sympathy with your trials
is as strong as it is with those OF the
British soldier who like your own has
often to suffer from the malignant and
malicious falsehoods of those who
ought to support and honor him." So
great tribute to the army OF another
country has never, according to Sec
retary Root, been recorded in history.
