ing. continues It's turbulent course to The
Niobrara 200 feet below.
The Arikaree are not only the highest,
but also the most beautiful falls in the
state. The beautiful sheet Of water falls
eighty-five feet without a break and then
over another narrow ledge fifteen feet
farther. Niagara appeals to you by its
grandeur, but the Arikaree by IFS dainty
beauty far surpasses any other falls In the
west.
Cherry county is ninety-six miles in
length from west to east. The Niobrara
river flows across the entire county. The
Snake river, TO the south, flows through
about two-thirds Of the county and then
joins the Niobrara. These two Streams
have recently been surveyed with a view
OF determining their capacity for furnishing
water power for electric lighting and
manufacturing purposes. 1t Is generally
conceded that these two streams combined
have about twenty good practical unde-
veloped water powers. Within four miles
OF Valentine the water power is now being
surveyed on the Niobrara that will furnish
1000 horse power for 1856 days I'm the year
at twenty-four hours per day.
The Niobrara river is one OF the swiftest
streams In the state. Its volume OF water
ranges from 500 to 1000 cubic feet per sec
oud at Valentine and from 1000 to 1000 feet
per second at Niab,ara. The river is swift,
usually shallow and little affected by storm
waters except near its mouth. 1t is sup
piled with water from many springfield
streams issuing from ravlnes and canyons,
one Of the best known of which is Long
Pine canyon. Nearly all of the tributary
streams are weak. The main valley OF the
Niobrara is narrow and about 300 feet deep
below the upland. The valley contains
but little farm land. in the vicinity of
Valentine the trunk valley is bounded by
steep sides and narrow canyons. The river
affords water for stock, domestic and irri-
CATION purposes and in time it's water pow
ers will be developed.
But few people in Nebraska have any
definite conception Of the scenery In Cherry
county. There are many points that are
sure to become popular summer resorts in
the course Of time. There is everything to
make this part Of the state a delightful
summer retreat. In no part of Nebraska
is there as good fishing for black bass as
the lakes OF this county, and there are
four streams that afford excellent trout
fishing. The hunting Is still excellent in
man. parts of the county. Small game is
abundant almost everywhere. Thirty-fouT

So you see when he started In Furnishing
the time register on his new Job at the
capitol, he had several habits hat got

Wickersham was with Strong & Cad

fits in the burg OF Manhattan. To lapse

through the interior OF the great empire OF
Cherry. This land is mostly rolling, graz
ing sandy loan, but here and there may
be found the little dry valleys" which Will
allow OF cultivation and form little GASES
in which to raise food for the family and
feed for the herds which should roam over
every foot Of Cherry county land.
The new settler should have a little capi-
tai upon which to make his start, with
which to erect his dwelling and buy q few
head Of cows-as we'll as energy and per-
severance. The day in which rich farming
land was to be had from Uncle Sam for
the asking has passed, but with a section
OF Cherry county grazing land, including a
little tillable land, the man who IL not
afraid of work can make his way.
The kinkaid act provides that any person
who has a homestead right in the United
States may enter $40 acres in this district,
or II he has exhausted his homestead right
elsewhere, he may enter $50 acres here.
The act differs from the general homestead
laws only in the size OF the homesteads
which may be entered, that such entries
may not be to cash, and the
provision that when proof is made the
settler must show that he has expended
in money, labor and materials the sum Of
S1.25, multiplied by the number OF acres in
his entry, for improvements, or $500 for a
section Of land, Whether the act has been
a success may be judged from the fact that
the voting population of Cherry county has
Increased more than so per cent since the
act went into operation.
The records of the United States weather
bureau office at Valentine show that the
average rainfall is about twenty-one inches
and that the so-called "drouth' is no more
to be feared here than 1t is in the thickly
settled middle western states, only one
such period having been noted In the
twenty years in which the office has been
located here. Luke NJ. Bates is register
and E. Olson is receiver OF the land office,
having been appointed in February, 1906.

one of the great factors in the develop
ment Of Cherry county.
The United States land office at vaIen-
tine commenced doing business on July Q
1883, and has been busily engaged in help
ing the people to become the owners OF
government land ever since that date.
James Morris was register n ]. Wesley
Tucker was receiver when the office
opened. Since opening over 1900 homested
entries, over 1880 timber culture entries
and many thousand cash sales have been
made. When the office opened there we're
several million acres Of vacant lands to
be disposed of. Now the amount has
dwindled to 10000, a large area when taken
in one body, but not so large when II is
divided into 64O-acre homesteads under the
famous Kinkaid act.
The district now embraces the greater
part Of Rock, Brown, Keya Paha and
Cherry counties. The first three counties
named have become so well populated un-
der the workings of the Kinkaid act that
there is no longer any desirable lands va
cant In these counties In large tracts, there
fore the scene OF activity has been trans
ferred to Cherry county, much the larger
of the four. The distance from the rail-
roads Of large areas of this county has
tended to keep much land in the hands of
the large cattlemen. but the growing scare
ity Of free lands farther east has driven
the advancing army Of settlers into the in
terror and the day Of the rowing herd is
almost past. In a territory which may
best be described as lying in the center Of
the county, about midway between the
Northwestern and the Burlington railroad
lines, lie many thousands of acres OF gov
eminent lands yet vacant, among which
the intending settler may find a home, IL
he has energy and industry and the pa
