second to none. They hold q front place
among the high schools of the state.
The TskAmah roller mill has a capacity
OF fifty barrels per day, and does all
kinds Of mill work, receiving q splendid
home patronage and good orders from
abroad. This mill is a well kept and we'll
equipped affair and its name on the out
side of a sack IL a guarantee OF n good
article within.
II Tekamah Ia noted for one thing more
than another, II Is that 1t Is the home
of numerous large land owners aid stock
men. II has over sixty residents vine
own on an average over 400 acres each.
II has several who own 1000 acres and
over. The peculiar part Of this is that
every one OF these large land owners came
here without anything. That this accumu-
iation Of wealth was made by their own
effort since they became residents here.
The live stock industry predominates all
others. Conditions are the most favor
able. The abundant production of grain
and grasses. the soil dry for fall and
winter feeding, the climate mild and
nearly all sunshine, which is so conducive
to the welfare OF animal life. The prox-
unity OF the live stock market at Omaha
for the sale OF fat cattle and the pur-
chase Of range cattle from the mountain
states, that are raised there by the mil
lion and shipped to the corn belt to be
fed for the block. Thousands of head Of
cattle are shipped in here each year TO
consume the surplus grain and hay. The
hog is the most profitable branch of the
live stock industry. They are grown here
and are always found in the feed los
with cattle.
Timber Of all kinds makes a very rapid
growth. Nearly every farm has a large
grove. Maple, elm, ash, box elder, walnut
and cottonwood predominant. The growth
Of several varieties will average one inch
per year in diameter; that is to say that
a tree fifteen years old will measure fiji
teen inches in ameter two feet from
the ground. The county has today at
least ten times as much timber in 1t as
It had twenty years ago. A number of
farmers have recently set up portable saw
mills in their groves and sawed 5000 or
10000 feet of lumber out OF their surplus
trees without injury to their groves or
appearance of the premises.
Burt county was named in honor of
Hon. Francis Burt Of South Carolina,
Omaha daily bee., 1909-08-29

Nebraska's first governor. The first cleo
ton in Burt county was held in Decem-
Der, 1864. All who had taken the oath as
required, that they intended to make Ne
braska their future home, were allowed
to vote. The total amount of taxes levied
in 1856 was sol. The valuation of the
county at that time was $500 The
Northwestern railroad was completed to
Tekamah in the fall of 1876, 1t was com
pleted to Oakland in 1879, and to Lyons
and Bancroft in 1880.
The population OF the county in 1879
was 5000; in 1880 it was 1000. Tekanah,
the county seat, is located in the south
western part of the county. 1t was
named by w. N. Byers, this privilege hav-
ing fallen to him by lot. The first perma-
nent settlement in Tekamah was made
on April 10, 1856, by B.. r. Folsom, z. B.
Wilder and John and Niles Folsom. 1t
was incorporated as a city very early in
It's history, on March IA, 1866, and became
the county seat at the same time. Onley
Harrington was made postmaster.
The first school was taught by ]. r.
Conkling in 1857. In 1868 H. s. M. Spielman
hauled a load of corn to Omaha and could
finds sales for but one-half of the load.
Edmond Shafer, now deceased, being un-
able TO find a market for his wheat, had
It converted into flour and drew the same
to Denver, Colo, using a yoke of oxen
and a yoke of cows and taking three
months to make the trip.
The Omaha Indians occupied this county
previous to the time of it's settlement. In
the spring of 1856 they were removed to
their present reservation, in Blackbird or
Thurston county. Burt county stands first
In drainage laws of any in the state. They
have recently completed a drainage ditch
thirty-fIve miles long, costing $4,000 and
redeeming over 0O,OO0 acres or land. A
farm close to Tekamah, consisting of 200
acres, was recently sold for 1927 per acre.
Another farm of 125 acres produced last
year 5000 worth of corn.
The schools of the county are under the
management of Miss Eda c. Nelson. The
county has seventy school districts and 107
teachers. This county has been very sue
eessful in the plan of free transportation
Of rural pupils to the city schools,
Burt county has 239, 900 acres in farms,
with $50. O00 acres under cultivation. From
these farms they sold and shipped out last
year l 100000 bushels of corn, 20l, 900 bushels
OF wheat and SIC, 200 bushels of oats. But

trip was the ride by boat TO Victoria. Here

is contrary TO every law the Nebrsskans

or great surprise TO the Nebraskans was
the fact that Of the ten business blocks
along the principal business street OF the
city. six OF them were occupied by pros
porous looking Chinese. They also discov-
cred that the mother OF the son OF the lieu
tenan governor OF the province had disin-
herited that person and the home estate
was being ratified off at $40 a share. The
large landed estate was being sold off In
lots for settlers.

met them. Former Governor Savage was

paying more or less attention to the dairy
industry.
Burt county is not only well supplied
with railroads and good, thrifty railroad
stations. but the county has one town at
least many miles from the railroad that
is decidedly one of the best inland towns
in the state. 1t is the town OF Decature,
situated in the northeastern part of the
county on the Missouri river, between Elm
and Wood creeks. The first claim located
near Decatur was by Mr.. Rose in 1865. The
town was located in the fall of the same

Stephen Decatur. Colonel Sarpy had al

catur on May l, 1852. Decatur was made

colOnels tell Of the trip everything was
lovely throughout the trip, at least six
colonies have told in the ~strictest conti-
dence that at times they were overworked.
For instance, Colonel Oberfelder made no
bones about getting weary acting as depot
master when waiting for trains at the va
rious cities visited. His uniform, he be-
lieves, caused several to take nIm for this
important parsonage. and ne had to retreat
on at least one occasion rather than show
his ignorance OF station affairs. Colonel
Marshall had to repeat more than once
that he was not the leader OF a band when
asked when is the band to play, mister1"
Colonel Furse, private secretary to the
governor, was the only colonial not in unit
form, aud therefore he was given author
ity to issue orders, none Of which was dis
obeyed. Because OF this there was no ia
tally throughout the entire trip and every
thing was lovely at its finish.

settler in the vicinity of Lyons was Josiah
Everett, who. with his brother, came here
in July, 1866. In the same year Mr.. WeldS
Lyons came here, and 1t is after him the

quantities is raised.

What a Man May Do.

fury: I know of one conspicuous ex.
ample Of what may be done by men of
inherited fortune. A young man of
ample means who did not wish to en-
gage in any business pursuit
thoroughly educated himself here and
abroad at the universities. He then
made himself master of a technical
pursuit by the study of forestry
abroad. After year or two of profess
sional work he relinquished it to ac-
cept responsible position in the gov
eminent, where he is now rendering
great and highly appreciated service
in working out the best policy for
conserving our forests and other nat
ural resources.
