SOME THINGS OUR
VISITORS SAW
Our TRIP OF INSPSCTION

We believe that many of our read
ers of this weeks paper will be inter-
ested in knowing something of the trip
of inspection which was made over
Sedgwick County with our Illinois
visitors. and this article will tell in
some measure what was seen during
the three days that the Is represen-
tative gentlemen from Illinois We're
in Sedgwick County
The delegation arrived in Julesburg
on Tuesday evening, July 2Sth and af-
ter dinner at the Commercial Hotel,
they visited the Club Rooms where a
get acquainted" meeting was held
and where a small exhibition of grain
and grasses grown this year was on
exhibition. AS our visitors were tired
after their railroad trip and as the
next three days were to be spent in
automobiles, they retired early, being
assigned lodgings in the Commercial,
the Brown and the Pioneer Hotels.
On Wednesday morning eight auto
mobiles with our visitors and represen
tative Sedgwick County Men started
on the first days trip. About $50 miles
was covered on this trip The route
lay south to the table land. The first

Mr. G. G. LaSelle,
Julesburg, Colorado.
Kind Sir:
| feel ashamed of not having writ
ten earlier and thanked you and your
friends for the royal treatment we re-
ceived while in your city. The facts
are, after we left Julesburg we were
rushed about so did not have time.
We spent one day on the Golden
Prarie of Wyoming, this did not
compare to the country about Jules
burg as to crops, improvements, and
so on. In fact, l was very much sur
prised to find things SO prosperous in
your part of the country, the corn
fields and farm improvements were a
perfect revelation to me, as l had ex-

wick county, Colorado have exceeded
my expectations.
Alfalfa and hogs appeal to me as
being good combination for the far
mers of the irrigated districts.
The table lands have given US an u
greeable surprise in the thrift of both
cattle and horses subsisting solely up
on the-to US Illinois farmers-short
and dry vegetation grown thereon.
Some Of these same uplands when put
into wheat and oats have likewise
made a good showing. I'm glad of the
opportunity to see and know the good
people Of your state whom 1t has been
my privilege to meet Y
Herman Luttrell.
To the Public and Ny Friends 1t Hsne

around Julesburg, Colorado. as guests

and the Commercial Club. l have rid
den three hundred miles in auto and
covered all surrounding country. can
not tell you what would I say to you
Come and See." 1t is more than
Burnett claims. Both the upland and
valley, the horses and cattle. The Is
men from Illinois will every one tell
you to come and see and 1 will tell
you.

of a mere shed and then building q
modern house to take the place of the
"soddy" 1t spells good country.
There are enough proofs in the mum
ber of instances where men have ac-
tually made good at farming to con-
vince the most doubtful that others
can do the same. There are thOus-
ands of acres of raw land here that
can be bought at low prices. that is
just as productive as the improved
farms All that is needed Is people
to settle here, go to work, and build
homes. then land will rapidly increase
in value. -e
It is not the desire Of the editor of
the Journal to encourage good substan
tial Illinois me to leave. Far be it
from US too seek to injure the home
town in persuading good citizens to
go west. Such is not the object of this
letter. 1t is matter to bear witness
to the fact tina Julesburg neighborhood
in our judgment offers splendid op-
portunities to those unable to acquire
and hold the high priced lands of the
east. The time is past when the aver
age man of moderate means can hope
to own farm in the corn belt, the
time is ripe for him to do so in north
eastern Colorado.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1914-08-13

peceted to find on the upland only a
few sod shanties and ranch houses.
The irrigated district was also bet
ter than l had anticipated. and am
really glad to find there is room for
SO many more happy. comfortable
homes in that country II tn eright par
ties are properly located.
Again thanking you and the people
of Julesburg for your kindness and
hospitality. and wishing you prosper
ity, am,
Yours respectfully.

Dear Sir:
1t may be of interest to you and
your readers to know what thought
of Sedgwick County after having spent
three days as your guest. In the first
place l want to say that l was very
agreeably surprised as l had no idea
of seeing as we'll developed and pro-
ductive territory. Your improved
farms are equal to many Of our Illi-
nois farms. That shows your farmers
have been able to make money and
the crops which l saw growing GER
tainly show that your land is produc-
tive. The fields of wheat, oats, rye,
barley, corn, sugar beets and po-
tatoes all go to prove that all that
Sedgwick County needs is more good
farmers.
A large percentage of the stock in
pasture were ready for the block and
equaled much of our corn fed cattle.
Your irrigating system is wonderful
and the water stored in your immense
Reservoir and flowing in your bitches
proved to me that your irrigation far
mers' can have it rain whenever they
desire.
The raising of hogs and chickens
upon your alfalfa and grain means a
large addition to the farmers income.
Yours very respectfully,

Jlleshlrg. Colorado last week .. X.
Sew Lana of Promise.
Last weeks letter written from
Omaha related chiefly to the men in
f. e. Burnett $ delegation. This week
we are concerned with what those
men have seen.
The Editor of the Journal was
brought on this trip that he might
relate the facts and be a booster. Now,
it sometimes happens that if man
has to rely on facts and stick too
close TO the truth. he cant be much OF
booster. Happily for Julesburg the
facts will! back up as strong Il game of
boosting as any publicity man can
grind out
That there is something more than
worth while in Northeastern Colorado
does not surprise the writer so much
~ it has evidently surprised others
of our party. Having been in this vi
cinity several times before, and know
ing something of the possibilities of
new country" we rather expected
to see another land of great Opportun-
ity.
AS q metropolis. Julesburg with its
1900 population wouldn't cut much of
a swath outside of Sedgwick County
but In being up-to-date In the way Of
improvements and conveniences, it is
years ahead of many middle western
towns of double and treble its popu-
latipn
While Julesburg may appeal to one
as town with a bright future. it is
not as much the object Of the visit
our party is making. Land is the one
big thing We came to zee. Dry farm
ing land, irrigation land. grazing laad
land that will increase in value! and
the Julesburg section has them all.
The business men have known that
they have good land too and they know
they need settlers. They have so much
faith in their country that they plank
ed down about five hundred dollars
in cash and three days of their time
to get this crowd out here and show
US around
Small town business men wouldn't
put up stunt of that kind If they
couldn't make good. with a crowd af-
ter getting them here.
The Illinois critic may suggest that
this happened to a specially favorable
year and that these wiley westerners
are seizing this opportunity to unload
something on the unsuspecting east
erncrs. Perhaps so let us see.
A prominent business man who has
been here seven years is authority for
the statement that he had seen two
years poorer than this and four years
better. A Nebraskan who owns land
and Is now here looking after his in
terests tolls us he has difficulty in
keeping tenants, that in three years
time, they make and save enough to
buy land for themselves.
Should such evidence not prove
convincing a trip through the country
will help demonstrate that they are
telling the truth. If this year is the
exception. the one year they happen
ed to strike, why all the new houses
and largo harms that have been built

COMBINED.

Mrs John NJ. Frazee of South Mar
ket street, this city, possesses a relic
and a tangible reminder of the only
Great Commoner" the Western Hem
isphere ever possessed-Abr8ham Lin
coin.
The relic is a small visiting card up
on which is written in LincOln's own
characteristic hand and with his "A.
Lincoln" signature, the following words
Judge Samuel Lusk is the most
'iron-necked' friend we have in
Kentucky and | particularly wish
the Secretary of War to give him a
hearing. A. LINCOLN.
Dec II, 1862"
Judge Lusk, Mrs. Frazee's father was
a resident of Garrard County.a stau lch
Republican and close FREUD of Lincoln.
He had gone on to Washington in the
very thickest of the Civil War to col
lect big sum of money due him for {
large number of mules and feed fur.
nished the Union Army OF course Mr.
Lincoln was very busy man at that
time and when Judge Lusk presented
himself and told him his errand tC
Washington he hurriedly gave him the
card mentioned above.
Mrs Frazee prizes the relic very
highly and keeps it in the same frame
with avery excellent old time large size
picture of the martyred President anC
it occupies conspicuous place in the
family library
1t may be added also that Judge
Lusk, now long departed. came home
and poured into his wife's lap $40 0Ot
in good old United States money which

paid to him as just government claim

While shearing mules Mr.. John
Prewitt, who resides near Marksbury
was painfully injured by one of the
animals becoming refractory and wedg

two broken ribs and was painfully
bruised about the body. We are glad
to say his injuries are reported as not
being serious.
MIR. John L. Henry who resides on
the Buckeye pike near town received
several scratches about his hand while
working with his hogs and it is thought
that blood poison is developing. 1t is
to be hoped that the disease can be ar
