Thanks.

The Journal extends thanks to
the Hon. John r. Shaffer of Fayette
county for copies of bills now
pending before the Legislature, and
which seems to be growing into
favor every day. Such favors from
our law makers show the interest
they have in the people, and the
desire they have to keep their con.
stituency fully informed of the
measures before them. If any
one in Audubon County desires
knowledge of any measure before
the Legislature the member from
Fayette County who is a practical
will be to glad to see that they re.
ceive it.

To The Public.

1t is with regret to our friends
and Mr.. Powell, that we are unable
to make good our promise, in talk
ing the latter's market, it was made
in good faith, but the securing of
a second market, meant loss to one
or both. as it is we'll known two
markets have never made expenses
here. We could not afford to take
the chances, and while Mr.. Powell
is anxious to retire from the bust
ness and has refused several offers
to sell or rent in our favor, he gen.
erously releases us for which we
are very grateful. 2S.2w

one more ear of corn to the hill

The Estancia valley of New Mexico
to which our former townsman w.
r. Bruner now pins his worldly
faith "The Western Trial" says; Is
an L shaped basin about fifty miles
long north and south, thirty miles
wide on the north and sixty miles
wide on the south 1t is near the
center of New Mexico, on the east
slope of the Manzano Mountains.
For the most part the land is gent
ly sloping, rolling prairie, the
steepest incline being towards the
mountains on the west, the water
flowing from all directions toward
the salt lakes in the southern part
of the valley. The soil varies in
composition but is so strongly i'm
pregnated with mineral, washed
from the mountains as to be prac.
tically inexhaustible. Generally
it is sandy loan easily cultivated.
In few places it contains consid
cradle sand, while near the lakes,
in the lower part, the soil is whitish,
resembling in color and composit-
ion the soil in theartesian belt onthe
Pecos river. This part of the val.
ley contains growth of chamisa,
small evergreen bush almost i'm
pervoius to drouth, affording rich,
nutritious pasturage the year round
All kinds of stock like it, but it ia
better adapted to cattle and sheep.
Flowing springs are found in
places and water in wells is found
from four to two hundred feet be-
low the surface. In the valley pro.
per, water is obtained at about an
average depth of twenty to twenty
five feet and in the lower part OF
the valley, the water is excellent in
quality and so far as has been ties.
ed, abundant in quantity. In some
places by means of bitches, the
water in wells can be made to run
out, thus making it for all practical
purposes artesian water. Ia the
lowest place this valley is within a
few feet of 5000 feet above sea level.
The climate is pleasant in summer
and the latitude is such that the
winter cold IL always tempered by
warm sunshine, by reason of
which Estancia valley is peculiarly
fortunate from climate stand
point. 1t is always cool here in
the shade and warm in tie sun
shine, and the sun nearly always
shines" This is IN part a descrip-
ton of the country to which Mr..
Bruner and family have moved and
where we hope their fondest antici.
pations may be realized.

Miss Marea Emig has organized
a large class in music in Elkhorn
and makes weekly visit there to
give instruction. Miss Emig is now
kept very busy with her pupils, as
her class in Extra numbers over
twenty-five and is still increasing,
while her class at Elkhorn is also
threatening proportions too great
to handle in the time she has to give
it. Miss Ernig's strength as a
teacher makes her much sought
for by those desiring excellent mus
ical instruction.

THE Salvation Army does enough
good in this community to entitle it
to protection, and the hoodlums who
have been making themselves
obnoxious around the hall lately are
going to get into serious trouble if
they persist in their attempts to break
up the meetings of the army. The
Salvationists have won strong place
in the affections Of the people by their
charita bic work and the day has gone
by when they can be prosecuted with
safety. If any one does not like their
methods he is privileged to stay away
from their hall

HONEST now, would you trust your
own business to some of the men who
are so kindly volunteering to take
charge of the revenues and the bust
ness of this city for the next two
years? You would not, and you know
it. In fact you would be insulted if
anybody suggested anything of the
kind to you. It would make you mad
to think that anybody took you for
such an easy mark. But that is what
the men who pay taxes will be-just
plain, easy marks-if they do not put
honest men into Office this spring.

The military successes of the Japa-
nese have reused the fighting spirit of
the Chinaman, and he longs to emu
late the brave deeds of his island
neighbor. The anti foreign rioting
and the massacres of missionaries are
straws which show the trend of events
in the east, and the day is not far dis
tant when the western nations will
have to fight for their concessions in
China and fight hard. The day of
battle might be postponed by an inter
national agreement, rigid1y adhered to,
not to sell the Chinese arms and NUM-
tons of war, but SO long as John
Chinaman has the money to pay he
will probably be able to purchase not
only weapons but instruction in the
art of using them, in any market that
suits him best.

THIS thing of "equalizing' the as
sessments in the city is ali right,
although we would like to see it done
with a little less friction, if possible.
The full value assessment law is
being carried out right up to the
letter in this city, anyway, and no
nan can truthfully say that the as
sessment here is not as near full value
as that of any other city of its size in
Wisconsin, and perhaps little more
so. At the same time we would like
to see little more energy displayed
in equaliziug the assessment and get
ting it up to full value in the county
and in the state at large.

CHICAGO has just had a primary
election in which every man in that
city should have been interested, and
yet the vote was light. 1t is the great
army of stay at homes that does the
mischief everywhere, and Kenosha is
no exception to the general rule. We
have too many of them here, but
every man who has dollars worth of
interest in Kenosha either in the way
of good job or as property owner,
will have to hustle toI see that this
stay at home vote gets out to the pri-
maries this time and votes right, if
the city is to be saved from the clut-
ches of the gang. No voter can afford
to neglect his duty as citizen this
spring unless he is prepared to pay a
long price for his indifference to the
welfare Of his own city. The city will
60 ahead or fall back as a result Of
the election this spring, and every
man that wants Kenosha to go ahead
will have to do his share Of work at
the coming election.
