The W00LLY WEST
As Seen by Edgar Adrisnce, Now In Ere
mont Nebraska.
Fremont, Nebraska,
Dec. 10. 1905.

Fremont, Nebraska,
Dec. ID. 1905.
Editor True Northerner:
AS l am keeping my eyes open, per-
haps the friends at home would like to
see a little of what | see of the "Woolly
West" Great changes have been going
on in this country since first visited it
in 1871. Then the people that were liv'
ing on the prairie were as rule very
poor, living on their homesteads in shack
or sod houses, and vast tracts of land ly-
ing in its wild state. But now all is
changed Roads are laid out on section
lines and we'll graded. The old settlers
have grown rich, and have bought all
the land that they could get hold Of, so
we find scarcely any 40 acre farms, and
but very few SOS. A man is a very small
farmer if he has to 100 acres or upwards.
know Of many men that came here in
1880 or later with not enough money to
buy one quarer section and pay for it
that now own from 400 to 800 acres or
more, with plenty of money to buy bank
stock, etc. Lands sell readily, if you can
find man that wants to sell, for from
SO to 800 per acre. Land rents readily
for two-fifths or So to S5.per acre.
| was out few days ago and looked
over half section of land, 900 acres
titled, 100 10 meadow and pasture. 1t
rented four years for five year term at
5000 cash per year; yielded this year
5000 bushels of corn, 100 bushels of
winter wheat and 1000 bushels of oats.
This year, at present prices of grain, on
shares with grass land, would have
brought the owner 81 800. There is but
little prairie grass grown except on low
land, the tame grasses running it out.
While good deal of winter wheat and
oats are raised, still corn is king. 1t is
not uncommon to see from one to three
SOS in corn. There are some pieces yet
to pick, but the farmers are improving
this fine weather. A little frost at night,
beautiful sunshine through the day.
This is great sheep feeding section,
from $4,000 to 100000 being fed. 1t is
fine sight to drive out around the yards
and see the vast numbers Of sheep.
Beet raising is getting to be great
industry, as they have very large sugar
factory ten miles out Of Fremont. spent
an hour in going through it few days
ago. | wish i were able TO write a de-
scription of its vastness. At the west
end of the factory is shed for receiving
the beets. 1t is long enough to take in
and unload eight cars of beets at one
time / think there were three car
tracks, and two drives the whole length
for the wagons. The beets go into the
pit and are carried into the factory by
stream of running warm water, then up
into large vat by large augers revulv-
ing; there they are washed, then taken
to the huge slicerr; then to the different
machines, finally coming out at the east
end of the factory in sugar

THE GRANGE.


Is your Grange living up to the con-
,stitution of the national Grange, and the
by laws of the state and your subordinate
,GrangeY IL not, the opening OF the
New Year is good time to begin. We
can sometimes make short road to do
business by ignoring them, but does 1t
pay TO deliberately violate our obliga-
ton for that? Ii every Grange would
stick to the letter and spirit of the laws OF
the order, there would be no better educa-
tion of its members to the respect OF law;
but if We regard them lightly there can
he no surer education to lawlessness.
Better obey laws which seem to be un-
necessary or unjust than to trample them
under foot.

Secretary Wilson says in his annual
report that the products of the farmers
of the United States in 1908 reached
value of s6,4l5OOOO00, the highest
amount ever reached. Besides this
enormous yield, the secretary estimates
the farms of the country to have in
creased 10 value during the last five years
an aggregate of 56,133,00O,0O0. Every
sunset during the last five years, he
sa, :, has registered an increase of So
400 900 in the value of the farms of this
country. Still, with this billion dollar
increase aud production, the farmers are
the least organized ofany class oflaborers
in the country. This lethargy on their
part is ineXplcable.

Birmingham, Sept. 1s.-tspeciaL)-- The five locals of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers In Birmingham will hold a meeting tomorrow evening for the purpose of adopting bylaws and a constitution for the political orr ganization set on foot short while since.

 The engineers will take the lead, but they expect to organize the railroad men in other departments of the work in the plan. It is believed that thou sands of votes can be handled through this organization. At the meeting to- morrow evening a circular letter will probably be drafted setting forth the objects and aims of the organization which will be freely distributed throughout the State among the rail- road employees and workingmen in gen. eral.
