The Peoples Demands"
World Herald.)

Wv Va IVA AASAoi
Writing from Hastings staff
cores 2ondent of the Omaha Bee
advises his paper as follows:
The people in all this region
have gone far beyond the matter
of free passes and collection of
taxes. They are beginning even
more insistently to demand that
the public be the decisive author
ity, and put limit on the enor-
nous taxes which the railrads ex-
tort in charges for carrying the
products of Nebraska.
We don't know just how insist
emily the people are making the
demand, nor how effectively they
are prepared to make it, but that
it should be made in without ques-
ton.
If the people are in earnest why
don't they make their demand of
the state administration at Lincoln!
There is maximum freight
rate law on the statute books,
which, if enforced, would reduce
freight charges in Nebraska in the
neighborhood of 80 per cent.
There is little reasonable doubt
that the law, under present con-
ditions, with the railroads making
more money than they have ever
made in their history, would be
held valid and enforceable by the
courts.
Why do not the officials at Lin
coin enforce the law we haves
Why do not the people appeal to
the attorney general! How, In
deed, can they expect him to en-
force the law when they come to
him kowtowing and singing ho-
sannas in his name, Offering to
send him to the United States sem
ate on his own record for do
nothingism.
Why do they not tell him that,
if he would be promoted, he must
earn promotion! That he must
proceed to the enforcement of the
freight rate law and the antitrust
laws, violations of which are cost
ing the people of Nebraska more
money every week than the entire
taxes of all the railroads would
amount to in a year!
If the people elect officials who
will do nothing; if, because they
do nothing, those officials are pro-
noted by the people as a reward
of merit, what right have the peo-
pie to ask or expect that their Of
ficials will do their duty?

State Press Association.
About 300 editors and wives
were in attendance at the state
press association last week and
general good time was had social
ly at the meetings and the enter
tainments furnished by Lincoln
people who are royal entertainers
and always show their guests a
good time. Several interesting
papers were read by members on
the program and an instructive ad-
dress on libel laws was given by
E. Rosewater, who has had some
experience along that line. A
splendid paper on the early history
of Nebraska editors meetings, en-
titled, twenty-five Years Ago."
was read by our friend H. M.
Wells of the Crete Vidette-Herald,
followed by paper, TWENTY-FIVE
Years Hence.'' by Fred Abbott of
the Columbus Journal. in which
he gets off a few thoughts worth
considering and causes the ques-
tiOn to arise. "Whither are we
drifting'' and lis our boat going
up stream or down." There was
a humorous contemplation of con-
ditions and a probable program
assigned for the association of
1881. Adam Brede of the Hast

1.-THE Song of the Press The
second days session brought the
railroad advertising question be-
fore the meeting in papers by J.

and by r. L. Metcalfe of the Com

these papers and it was evident
that all we're not in harmony with
the plans as outlined in the papers.
LATE Young of the Des Moines
Capital gave lecture on his tray
els with the Taft commission to
the Philippines and on the Chinese
Wednesday afternoon, after which
Frank Reed of the Shelton Clip

ensuing year and L. A. Warner
vice president. w. NJ. Maupin
was chosen secretary-treasurer to
succeed himself and $50 was voted
him for his efficient services as
secretary-treasurer the past year.
Upon invitation from the COM
mercial club of Omaha, the asso-
citation decided to meet in Omaha
next year. The entertainments
consisted of theater party to the
Lyric Monday evening as guests
of the local newspaper men of
Lincoln, and Tuesday evening the
Primrose Ministries at the Oliver
which was a grand performance
and appreciated by everyone.
This was followed by a smoker in
the commercial club rooms for the
men as guests of the club and an
entertainment was given for the
ladies in the Lindell hotel parlors
where the session was held and
where most of the editors stopped
while in Lincoln. Wednesday af-
ternoon some Of the editors went
out to the state farm where they
were entertained for a couple of
hours, and in the evening went to
the First Baptist church to hear
Johh NJ. McCutcheon's lecture on
cart ons. This was the biggest
and best meeting of the state press
ever held in Nebraska. Resolu-
tions we're adopted, which, for

after which we took the train a.

and intend to stay.
This is progressive little town
which three years ago had popu-
lation of $500 but now boasts of
1000 inhabitants. You could not
imagine a more delightful place.
situated in the Sacramento valley,
with the Sierra Nevada mountains
on the east and the Coast Range
on the west, both of which are
plainly seen from here, and are
covered at the SUBMITS with an
average of Is feet of snow.
We have enjoyed the winter
here with few frosty nights and
such beautiful sunny days. Of
course it rains sometimes, but who
cares for a little lain after 5rav-
ing Nebraska billiards? Roses
bloom here the year round and
oranges and lemons look like gold
en- balls on the evergreen trees
with their thick glossy leaves.
Palms, oleanders and great many
tropical plants grow here. The
fruit production consists of every
known fruit in the world, but the
best apples come from the noun
tains near here. The nuts are al
monds, black and English walnuts,
chestnuts, and | am told the noun
tains are full of hazel nuts.
As for work. it is here in plen-
ty, wages $500 to $3.50 per day
for common labor. Skilled labor
ers get more, as in other places.
Rent is very high, so is wood.
The water here is good.
The majority of the valley land
is owned by few persons, occas-
ionally one man owning nearly
whole county, and it makes it hard
to get homes here. The noun
tains furnish delightful little val
ley homes and are lovely in the
summer. They are full of mining
camps, which shut down work in
the winter, flooding the towns with
unemployed men. The country
all about is rich in gold. At Oro-
vile, our county seat, are dredgers
at work, washing the soil for gold.
The dredgers consist of great end
less chains. hung with buckets
which handles the dirt very fast,
dumping it into sluice boxes where
the dirt washes off leaving the
gold. Land that was worth $500
per acre a few years ago sells now
at $4,000 per acre to the dredger
men. Right here at Chico there
is no miners or labor unions, as is
the case in nearly all California
towns, consequently this is a good
place for non-union men to come.
Ten miles from here is being
erected a 100000 beet sugar
plant.
Electric railways are being con-
structed all over the country, also
steam railroads, the Southern Pa
cifc being the principal one.
The school system of this state
is considered the best in the q. S.,
both city and country schools. |
think the chance of making liv-
ing here is as good as anywhere.
At least we have no intention of
starting for Cherry county for
awhile.
Now, if any of you want any

place, just write and | will answer
to the best of my ability.
Hoping to hear from some of |
you at least, | remain yours for

To My Dear Friends and Neigh
bors: | take this method of COM
municating with you, as l really
have not time to write all l would
to say to each and everyone.
We had very pleasant journey,
stopping a day at the Great Salt
Lake, the center of mormonism.
We arrived in Salt Lake City in
the evening, and, after securing
some airy rooms, rested up for the
next day, as we were very sleepy
and tired from being on the train
two days and a night. In the
morning we looked out on the
beautiful, lofty mountains which
seem to rise to the very clouds on
all sides of the city. We visited
Temple Block, which is surroAsd-
ed with solid wall about - Met
high, and after securing permits
sion of the gate-keeper, entered.
The temple is a massive stone
structure, very grand and impos-
ing, but only the outside is ever
seen by the curious sight-seers
which flock there every day. Then
we went to the tabernacle and the
great assembly hall, which l Judge
affords seats for 1000 people. The
grounds about these buildings are
indeed beautiful, with green lawns,
ornamental trees and flowers of all
kinds, and statues and fountains.
| felt inclined to turn mormon on
the spot. Then we took the train
for the great salt lake, 20 miles
east of the city, but the whole dis
lance is great glistening, salty,
white desert, fairly binding one
like a Nebraska prairie covered
with snow. We had a boat ride
on the lake but did not battle as
the water was too cold. We dip
ped our hands into the water and
after they dried they were cover
ed with coating of salt. There
is only one living thing that can
exist in the water; it is called the
salty shrimp" a little scorpion
like bug which is half an inch
long. At five O'Clock our train
left for the city and we had all COL
lected on the platform when it was
discovered Curtis had taken my
baby to carry and was nowhere to
be found. He had become con-
fused in the great salt air palace
and could not find the gate or
door, but just as the train whistled
to 60 he came up flushed and pant
ing from his unusual exertions.
We spent another night in Salt
Lake City and then started on.
The scenery in that part of Utah
is grand. The huge mountains
with perpendicular cliffs and beau
tiful canyons, timbered in places,
and the valleys all farmed, and
part in orchards where grows
some of the finest apples, peaches.
pears, ETC., of the world.
The part of Nevada we travelled
through was mostly a rocky, dry
desert, with scant supply of
grass, lots of sage brush and cactus
and great droves of sheep, until
we reached the western part where
again were mountains, canyons
and heavy timber. Then 40 miles
of snow sheds through which the
train Numbered and smoked, until
our eyes smarted and our heads
ached and throbbed. After that
came the tall t:ees-pines and furs
that made one look twice to see
the top of them. As we began to
come down the western slope of
the Sierra Nevadas we saw orchards
and vineyards, and boys selling
