Messrs. r. K. Thompson and NJ.
Dunno. of Waukee, Iowa, came up
last week to look over their Mclean
county holdings. They were well
pleased with the outlook for crops.
They left for home Tuesday. Mr..
Dunno made this office a pleasant
call and said that if he was a young
man he would not hesitate, but
come to this county and get hold
of some of the cheap lands.
F. w. Macomber. living just out
of Washburn. disposed the first of
the week to John Miller. living near
Turtle Lake, one of his blooded
shorthorn bulls. Mr.. Macomber
says that he has a number of in
quiries for blooded stock the last
few weeks. Stockmen are improv-
ing their stock and the country is
getting a fine reputation for good
stock:
In another column of this issue
we give out readers a report of the
census, which was taken by the
assessors Of the county. under an
act passed by the last Legislature.
The returns of the county shows a
large increase in population dur
ing the last five years-an increase
of 1851. The increase in the
western part of the state in popu-
lation is far greater than in the
eastern portion. The balance of
power will be in the west.
