Beautiful, white, pure snow!
How little! How little! you know
OF the earthly darkness you are hiding

Hid pg beneath your pure write!
Beautiful white, pure snow!
How little YOU are able to shOw
OF the cruel footsteps made by man
On your whitened surface. how LITTLE you

Beautiful. white, pure snow!
But that you could bes;oW
Your cover of Wilderness to each troubled

G. P. Wiltse, editor of the New
port Republican, was in our city
last week on business before the
U. S. landoMce and found time to
make US a pleasant visit. This
item slipped our mind last week
for which we apologize, as also
for numerous other items that we
have overlooked.
E. S. Kendall, editor of the Mo
brara Tribune, who has been as
sisting the special agents of the U.
IS. landoffice in Cherry county as
surveyor, called on US last week
while in the city before returning
to his home. He was FORMERLY
editor Of the Gazette published in
Valentine in 1890 and 1891.
The people of Valentine are
agitating the matter of municipal
ownership of electric light plant
and a waterworks system. We
have been paying a big price for
long time for city water, and the
electric lights are eating a big hole
in every business mans profits.
Why not take up this matter and
see if something can be done to-
ward public ownership. A meet
ing will be held Friday night we
understand to discuss this question.
Contrary to the statement that
Charles Price had gotten tip and
made way with his gambling ap-
paratus before the deputy sheriffs
reached his place, he informs US
that he has not had anything of
the kind in his house since the
term of court preceding the last,
and that he got no tip from any
one, he had no gambling tables to
make way with, and asks US to
make this correction of our state
ment in last weeks paper.

tendance anticipated for this great
annual event and on account of the
inability of the builders to complete
the magnificent new amphitheatre
on time, it has been been found

ranged for the previous week. All
