NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 14, 1895. A HYDRAULIC HARVEST . EE. Tkibuke: In your issue of the 7th inst. you publish the rumor "that unless consumers of city water are less extravagant in the, use. of. water on the lawns the company will cut them down to the restric- tions provided by ordinance.' I do not believe there is who knows -- what the instructions" are. Then it would be well for the Waterworks Co. to publish the ordi- nance complete in the three papers of the city. We now use the water the same as wedidnt the beginning. It appears to me to be in bad taste and foolish now to make threats, as the company has been Well paid for all the water furnished. When the company started there were at least sixty windmills in town, and all were taken down to patronize the enterprise and have less work in watering our lawns. The mills furnished all the water necessary, and owing to the conven- ience of water, the mills could be again erected at a trifling expense: and if we are annoyed bj the Water- works Co. up go the mills again. Besides if the city or company would bring water from one of the irrigating ditches through the streets of the city, dams could be-place- in the ditches so that you could overflow almost any lot in town. The water being warm and full of sediment would be far pre- ferable to cold hydrant water. We could easily dispense with the water works except for fires. James Beaton. MEMORIAL DAY. Headquakters Stephen A. ) Douglas Post. No C9, G. A. R. North. Pxatte, Neb., May 8, 95. ) General Orders No. 1. In compliance with the rules and regulations of the Grand Army of the Republic, Thursday, May 30th, will be observed as Memorial day. 2. In accordance with .our cus tom, Stephen A. Douglas post, will in a body attend divine services at the Presbyterian church on Sunday evening, May 26th, where the Rev. Mr.Graves will deliver an appro priate sermon. I earnestly hope that all priests and ministers in our citv will de-- liever appropria te sermons on that day, calling attention to the. pro per observance of Memorial day and its lessons. 3. Memorial day being a legal holiday, and a day that brings to. the minds of all the patriotic citi zens memories of these days "that tried mens souls." I earnestly re-come- nd that our citizens lay aside their usual vacations and devote the day to the honor of those "who died that the nation might live." And I protest against the profana tion of the day by the indulgence in unseemly sports. 4. The National Guards and the various civic societies of our city, and. all our people are cordially in- vited to participate in the ceremo- nies of the day. 5. With especial emphasis would I request that the children of our schools participate in the cere- monies of the day. that by so doing they might be imbued with that patriotism that will prompt them in after years to emulate the example of those they now honor. 6. "With malice toward none and charity for all," let us unite in per- forming this sacred dut. Let us on this" occasion inaugurate a re- vival of patriotism, that on each recurring aniversary of the day will burn brighter and brighter, so that in after ages, when we who are now participating in these cere- monies shall be gathered to that Grand Army above, it will not be said of our fallen heroes, whom we now honor, that the- - died in vain.

Windmill irrigation seems to have solved the very important question for this state of the best and most profitable method of the utilization of the sandy lands of Nebraska. The actual demonstration of suc cessful fruit growing that will com pare with the best of Grand river, Col., products, creates a feeling of satisfaction that a day will come when this class 'of lands will be cov ered with thrifty and fruitful bear- ing trees that will prove a source of wealth to our'cbunty and state. This class of soils is precisely similar to the famous iruit-srr- o win lands of southern California. The success of Mr. J. C. Keen has shown that others would do well to follow his example, and that fruit-growin- g can be made profitable as well as successful in the so-call- ed sandhills of this section. ' He has also dem- onstrated the value of irrigation from wells b,;windmills. The question arises shall we have a boom in fru it lands? We aire ready for it, that these lands have been created for a purpose, although many have wondered -- why hey were 1 placed here, and to what profitable use they could be put. Nichols and 'Hershey Hews. A fine rain visited this section Thursday .night and Friday fore- noon. J" 'Potato planting is all the rage this week. Sheriff Miller was up in this country on business recently. The frost Friday night damaged garden potatoesjand corn that were, above the ground to some extent. J Constable Lemon, of the hub, transacted legal' business in the we'stern part of this precinct one day last week. The schools at Hershey and this place will close; ;the last, of this month. . About thirty i attended prayer meeting at this place on lat Wed- nesday evening and over forty attended Sabbath school last Sun- - dav. 1 - Poultry growers in this locality report excellent success in .that branch so far this season. The business the past two seasons was somewhat discouraging. H, W. Fogel, the Hershey black- smith, is doing a rushing business in his line these days which goes to show clearly that? his work gives entire satisfaction. Rev. Graves, of North Platte, immersed Archie Anderson and Lewis Randall in the old ditch north of Hershey Sundayafternoon, and in the evening preached to a large audience in the Maccabee hall at that hamlet. The old ditch conjpany erected a bridge a "few daysj. ago over the O'FallonMateral . wnjch crosses the highway 'near this.,station. Sam Funkhouser and Everett Ware did the work. Wei. Ware transacted business at the county capital" one day last week. The April showers were some- what late for May-flowe- rs, and in consequence thereof the crop will undoubtedly be limited. The lumber for the bridges span- ning the Farmer's & Merchant's ditch was side tracked at this place. A bridge spanning the Spurrier lateral crossing the-highwa- y north of the Nichols schools-house- , is in a horrible condition and several mis- haps have occurred lately. It has not received the proper attention of the overseer of highways in this precinct notwithstanding the fact that he has been several times noti n liable ensue.

Trouble "is to J. M. Dwyer made atrip to North Platte on his "bike" the latter part of the week. - We are pleased to note that Fore- man Erickson's mother, and little daughter, who havebeen critically ill for some time, are reported on the gain at this writing. W. H. Sullivan has about recov- ered from his accident, which we reported last week. J. L. Strickler will do the court- ing for this precinct as a juror for the June term" of district court. The trees throughout this sec- tion are neatly adorned in their spring attire. Mayor Baker, Ben McMichael, W. E. Parks and Will Hardin of the Platte, were constructing bridges for the Farmer's & Mer- chant's canal in this locality last week. John Kenworthy, who has the Ferguson place rented for this season, has had a gang of men plowing upon the sam? the past week for corn. Mrs. N, B. Spurrier is somewhat disheartened over the loss of her strawberries, which were nicely in bloom, and destroyed by the recent frost, She had probably the largest and finest bed in the valley. The Farmer's & Merchants canal company constructed a first-clas- s bridge across their ditch at this place on Friday. The Sullivan boys irrigation pump and windmill is working to perfection and their reservoir which covers about one half an acre of ground, is about full of condensed moisture. The U. P. through this country has been lined with the gay and festive tramp lately. W. J. Crusen, of the county seat, preached to a large audience at this place on Sunday last. We understand that the prayer meetings at Hershey are a thing of the past. There will be the largest acreage of sod corn by far planted in this country this season ever known in its history. We hope as there is to be a new school-hous- e erected in this district this season that our people will be united in building a commodious and first-clas- s structure, and also that there will be no trouble in locating the same, as the neigbor-hoo- d is now in perfect peace and harmony.and we would dislike very much to have it broken ;and we are of the opinion that if all do what they think is proper it will not be. Will Johnson is the proud posses sor of a new carriage recently pur- chased of Joe Strickler. North Platte butchers are ran- sacking this country in search of beef cattle, but meet with poor success. The ice cream sociable at Her- shey Saturday evening in the K. O. T. M. hall was quite well attended and a pleasant time is reported. We understand that the proceeds were donated to the Maccabees tor the use of their hall in the past for church services. N. Snow called on friends at Ogalalla recently. Pat. Eugene D. Carter of N. C, is an- other prominent southern democrat who has grown tired of the old slave method of using the bogy man to keep white men in the democratic party. "We h aye at last reached that'point in the south," says he, where honest, thinking men can no longer be dragooned into silly incon- sistencies in national politics by any fear of that worn-ou- t bugbear of ne- gro domination." Mr. C. is not an exception in the south. He is rep- resentative of many thousands of intelligent white men who have be- come disgusted with the use of this once great bogy of the, south.

The Sons of Veterans camp at Lexington will soon receive from the state its complements of arms, which will consist of thirty-thre- e new rifles and equipments for the officers. On account of low finances, Lex- ington has cut off her electric lights and the old reliable coal oil can is now in demand. Thieves hypnotized a watch dog kept in M. Cole's store at Lexing- ton one night last week and carried off a wagon load of shoes and cloth- ing. The thieves have not been apprehended. The total exports of breadstuffs from the United States during the last ten months has been less by 553,700,000 than during the previous ten corresponding months. The decrease in exports of provisions during the same period is S5, 700, 000. Compared with the famous years of the McKinley tariff, 1891-2-- 3. the volume of our exports of farm pro- duce shows a lamentable shrink- age. The nation is now fully aroused on the question of silver. No issue since the war has created so much universal interest. It is the same in the south as in Chicago; the same in New York, New England, and all over the western states and territories. It, however, is but a forerunner of a greater issue. rhether silver or gold, or both, was the stendard of our fathers, matters but little. What is best for business, what will cure poverty and employ labor is what we want to know most of all. foilet (111.) News. Homtfeeken Excnrsioas.

He smiled and seemed pleased when in- formed of the association of his wife's name with the mayoralty can- didacy, but said that he would wait until 'mother' came out before ex- pressing any opinion on the Governor Turney endeavors to ease his conscience by remarking that he had sworn to support the constitution and the laws of Ten- nessee, and that if he had aban- doned his office to his republican opponent he would have been a per- jured man.

The Sandhills for Fruit Growing.
Windmill irrigation seems to havesolved the very important questionfor this state of the best and mostprofitable method of the utilizationof the sandy lands of Nebraska.The actual demonstration of successful fruit growing that will compare with the best of Grand river,Col., products, creates a feeling ofsatisfaction that a day will comewhen this class 'of lands will be covered with thrifty and fruitful bear-ing trees that will prove a source ofwealth to our'cbunty and state.
This class of soils is preciselysimilar to the famous iruit-srr- o winlands of southern California. Thesuccess of Mr. J. C. Keen has shownthat others would do well to followhis example, and that fruit-growin- g
can be made profitable as well assuccessful in the so-call- ed sandhillsof this section. ' He has also dem-onstrated the value of irrigationfrom wells b,;windmills. Thequestion arises shall we have aboom in fru it lands? We aire readyfor it,that these lands have been createdfor a purpose, although many havewondered --why hey were 1 placedhere, and to what profitable usethey could be put.
