The remarkable agricultural develop
ment of Nebraska in the last three years
can be no better expressed than by noting
the increase in the acreage devoted to Its
four principal crops. wheat. oats, corn and
alfalfa Here are some figures, briefly
stated. which tell the story OF Nebraskas
progress In settling up.
The total acreage In Nebraska devoted
TO these four crops in 1903 was 1883, 400 and
IN 1905. u.7b4,o00, showing an increase of

Consider the increased wealth accruing to
Nebraska people from this additional pro-
duction. and the great stimulus to the
development OF areas further on along the
frontiers; OF couse. thousands OF Nebraska
farms In the middle and eastern portion
OF the state have changed ownership, with
the acreage OF production in those sections
remaining the same. no the additional
acreage put under the pillow lies along the
outer sonss OF Nebraska's development
DRY Farming Methods.
NO one factor has contributed more to
the making Of this new acreage than the
so-called dry farming methods now being
practiced by the farmers In western Me-
braska and eastern Colorado. True, rain
has supported this cult during the last
year or two, and. between the more scienti-
nc methods OF soil cultivation and preser-
walton OF moisture, surprisingly heavy crops
have rewarded the followers OF dry farm
ing.
The effect OF all this has been to in
crease prices OF western lands in northwest
Kansas, western Nebraska and eastern
Colorado that up-to date have not had a

THE GANGS SCHEME.

It is now reported from Col.
umbia that the dispensary forces
will soon issue a call for a con
vention similar to the famous
March convention of 1890, for
the purpose of organizing for
the coming campaign, Of course,
this convention is to be called in
advance of the regular May
Democratic convention, and in
our opinion the dispensary lead
ers inItheir desperation will at
tempt to force the May conven
ton to adopt a plank in the plat,
form of the party, pledging the
party to maintain the State dis,
pensary, and make it plain in
the pledge of candidates, so that
no man will be permitted to run
in the Democratic primary who
refuses to pledge himself to
maintain the State dispensary.
We do not known how the peo'
pie will take to this effort to
force them down upon their
knees to worship at the sWill tub
of the State dispensary in order
that the swine may continue fat
tening, but it does strike US if
there is an attempt to capture
the regular Democratic conven-
ton, there is manhood enough
left in the State to resent it, by
the opponents Of the State dis:
pensary going to work at once
in self defence.
There is not the slightest
doubt if the opponents of the
State dispensary will organize
select a competent leader, the
gang Of looters who have
brought disgrace to the State
and robbed the people, will b
compelled with all of their brazer
efrontery to stand aside and sub
nit to a rule of honest men.

did last Monday, but in doing
so, he made no speech, contrary

the usual custom for speech to

the fact that a Republican com

not leave the whole thing in the

the most indifferent thinker, that
the interests of the taxper is not

men who are now in control of
our government. These men are
perched high, but recent scanda-
lous developments has made
them feel the effect of public in

foundation of their perch, and in
order for them to keep the
structure from falling down with
them, they are now devising all

false issue. and by sowing seeds
of bitterness they hope to turn
the tide Of public indignation and
save themselves to prolong their

There is only one way to
loosen the hold these political
parasites have obtained upon the
people, and that is to scorn any

CESSATION OF WORK ON THE LINE WAS REQUIRED BY

From various sources it is reported that when the snow melts along the proposed line of the Colorado & Ari. zona Railroad, which will be the con. meeting link between the Southern Pa. cific and the Union Pacific branches sufficiently to allow the men to work in the hills and the gulches, work will be resumed and carried along with a rush. It has never been definitely de cided where this road will connect with the Southern Pacific. It may be at Globe, over the Gila Valley line. or it may be at Deming or some other point. -a--
 Cessation of work on the line was required by heavy snows last winter in the vicinity of Durango, both above and below that city. At tfrat time ac tual construction was under way at Pennington, Colo, while surveying parties were all busy out of Durango.
 The completion of the line to the Southern Pacific will tap the Durango coal fields and afford a new market for this coal in Arizona and New Mex ico. and should result in a decided fall ing off in the price of the heat pro ducer in the winter time.
 There will be some fine engineering problems to be solved in the construc. tion of this road, although the engi. neers say that they are comparatively easy for surmounting a continental di. vide
