Newcomers are arriving in the
Arkansas Valley thick and fast these
days. and in consequence some of
the pencil pushers in the effete
east are becoming exasperated there
at. One jealous editor. who lives
in the frozen and cherries wilds of
Minnesota. recently got rid of an
overplus of bad spleen as fol-
lows: Early in the seventies there
was big rush for western Kansas
and eastern Colorado. But the dry
seasons that followed started an
exodus eastward and tho trail was
strewn with busted ones. Again,
early in the eighties was another
stampede for those western lands
owing to the previous few years Of
copious rains. New towns flourish
ed and the country doomed. But
drought came and the boom again
exploded. And now history is repeat
ing itself" This moulder of public
opinion probably never heard Of our
scheme of irrigation As long As the
water in the Arkansas river holds out.
and Kansas does not want it all we are
not at all particular whether it rains
or not. Colorado has had nothing
to complain of as regards rainfall
during the pest three seasons. We

We were asked this week by de-
linquent subscriber why we kept on
sending the paper after the sutscrip-
ton had expired. Every newspaper
in towns of this size are forced to do
this. Should we stop subscriptions
when they expire nine times out Of
ten the subscriber would give US
calling down" for insinuating that
his credit was not good. Rather than
to cast a reflection against the hon.
esty of a subscriber to pay a small
debt. il is next TO necessity for a
home paper to continue sending the
paper after the time has expired. 1t
is not necessary for the city dailies
or weeklies to follow this, as their
subscribers all live at distance and
are not personal friends as in the
case of the majority of our subscrib-
ers. Our subscribers should deem
it an honor to know that we do not
doubt their integrity and continue
to-send them the paper after their
time has expired. Should any desire
their paper discontinued they should
notify us and remit to date if they
have not already done so.
