From every view point the farming
class of this county is in better shape
now than at any period since the civil
war. More people own their own
homes and little farms; more are
free from the yoke of bondage inflicted
by burdensome debts; more are be-
coming independent each year by max
ing comfortable living for their
families; more are waking up to the
necessity of giving their children bet
ter educational advantages, and withal,
prosperity and contentment seem to
prevail throughout the country. Let
progress still be our watchword. =

1t is stated that five japanese are
employed in the beet fields on the
McLearn ranch. The trouble result
ing to Messrs. Charles and Will
Harris by the employment a short
time ago of this class Of labor has oc.
casioned considerable discussion and
some newspaper comment. There ism t
much to the proposition-the farmers
have their crops to care for, they must
have people to perform the necessary
labor, and the idle white man is not
in evidence, at least he who wants
work. Talk Of any kind about the
rights of "poor laboring man" there
fore is the cheapest kind of wisdom
rot. Rifle Reveille.
