P. SNYDER POINTS THEM OUT | Says Man Coming Nod Intends to Stay = with Comdi " et ter Than Twenty Years Age Has Bright Future. “Families are gbming into western Ne- braska, almost a¥ rapidly as they came trom 1850 to 1890,% sald W. P. Snyder, su- perintendent of the . experimental station at North Platte, in speaking at the corn exposition. Mr. Snyder compared the con- ditions as they formerly existed and as they are today. ““Are the people now coming in to remain and build permanent homes, and to develop the country, or are they to be driven out as were the early settlers? A com« parison of the conditions then and now may assist in answering this question. “The rainfall is regarded by climatolo- ts and by many farmers, ‘as fixed |for all times, varying from time to time above or below the normal, but keeping the dverage of a long serles of years near the normal. The sofl is the same as it was | twenty years ago—rich in plant food, easlly | tilled, and capable of storing a large quan- |tity of water. The climatic conditions have remained the same, but all other conditions have changed. Old Ranchman, the people came in during the eighties, there were only a few old resi- dents in the country. These were ranch- | men 1lving along the streams and depend- [Ing on free range and iive stock for a lving. They were not farming any. They did not want the prairie broken up. The settlement of the country meant the end |of their ranching days. Every phase of the | settiement seemed to them to be against | their interests. Ndturally, they did not be- leve this to be @ farming country, and bent all thelr energy toward discouragink the homesteader. We do not blame the ranchman. -~ He belleved that farming would bring fallure not only to himself, but to the newcomer. Nor did his success | tend to encourage the man who came into the country to grow crops. The ranch- man owned the only signs of success that the country had to offer. His success was Que to ralsing stock and against tilling the | #ofl. Nothing in the history of the coumtsy lent encouragement to the man behind the plow. But all this has changed. Plow Drives Out Herds, “The large herds have been driven out by the plow, the disc and the harrow. Where there was once a ranch that sup- ported one family, now there are several families supported by a wombination of stock and crops. Where there was one home, now there are several. The fact that these have'Teplaced the old ranch indicates to the new arrival that the coun- try will support hgmes founded on proper methods of farming; that where one steer was grown without tlling the soll, several “When DECKMBER 14, Almost any: Man 1909 Opera stage. shipwrecked with the seal.

ESTABROOK URGES SHELLY RULE | Belleved it Applicd at the Time of Denl and Applies Todny—He Re- sents Questions by Ed- " son Rich, ¢ Argument in the Josiyn castle case began this , afternoon. Testimnoy in the suit ended at noon, when the defendants’ cross- | examination concluded. He had been pre- ceded by Henry D. Estabrook. As bearing on the question of good faith, I want to say,” voluntéered the former Omaha lawyer while on the stand, “that I have no doubt now as I had none then, of the: wisdom, expedieney and legiti- macy of the rule in Shelly's case. I'd like to tell the court something about that.’ ‘“That has been gone through,” suggested O. Gilbert, referring to the argument summer on defendant’s demurrer, n Judge Troup ruled that the Shelly rinciple does not apply In this cause. Mr. Estabrook was referring to the law sult of 1893, when he says, he told Sutphen that the rule did apply and that Sutphen accordingly could sell the property left by is mother. Mr. Estabrook testified that v last W thing, saying he would “spend not a cent more until he got title."” Mr. Joslyn declared he never heard a doubt raised that Sutphen could give title until several days after Sutphen had signed the contract prepared by D. V. Sholes and Sutphen had been paid the $1,000 which con- Mr. Joslyn's the same as stituted the first payment testimony was substantially that given by Sholes Saturday. One Interesting question asked in cross- Estabrook was put gxamination of Mr. thus by Edson Rich: “DId you prepare the decree which Judge Ferguson signed “1 did," sald the witness. “Did you prepare the degree before the Jjudge made the order?” “Nobody but a lunatic would do that,” retorted Estabrook, with feeling. Mr. Estabrook will be in the city until Thursday. HAY AT SIXTEEN DOLLARS That's Ton of the Just Horse Feed Now. Hay cost $16 & ton In Omaha Monday.

HIM Judge Mentions Fact He Owns Hen- shaw Hotel Building—Will Void or Make Permanent Ree straining Order. At request of City Attorney Burnam, the hearing before Judge Redick in district court of the injunction pleas against the Eoard of Fire and Police Commissionors went over until this morning. The court will then decide whether the re- strainfhg orders granted in the cases ot Rome Miller and C. M. Lentz shall be volded or become temporary Injunctions. Judge Redick intimated pretty strongly that his view of the law is-that the dls- trict court shall not Interfere with the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners ir the matter of revoking licerises. “I have grave doubts” said e “‘whether the court ought to issue an order in such cases as these, assuming that it o | May legally issue such an order. The ques. ton of jurlsdiction of the police court in cases of violation of the 8 o'clock law WAS pretty thoroughly threshed out before Judge Crawford, and it is on the question of jurfsdiction that the right to lssue a restraining order will, it seems to me, de- pend “One thing seems sure to me: If the po- | lice court cannot act when the 8 o'clock law 18 violated, then the district court will be more than overburdened with litigation and it 1s so now burdened that one lawyer has gone completely crazy and has rushed Into print with an exposition of his wild views." Judge Redick referred to F. A. Shotwell, whoso communication was printed tn The Bee Sunday. Shotwell was in the court room when Judge Redick spoKe. The O'Brien and Rentfrow cases are on Judge Troup's docket and will not be heard tled anyhow by Judge Redick's ruling. that he himself is the landlord of the Hen- shaw hotel proper “I should have preferred leard these cases for this remson,” sald he, “although the O'Brien petition Is not on my docket. that I shall rule on the law Involved with- out respect to this and what happens to the tenant will make no difference to me. | But because of the connection I would prefer not to hear these cases.’” City sald | the city.

When I came to western Nebraska' the Tafthérs in our locality were haullng corh thirty-five miles and getting 14 cents per bushel for it. The price of other crops were low, Now these same tarmers haul their, corn to the elevator ten miles and get from 60.to 60 cents per bushel, or dellyer it to a neighbor who is feeding cattle and hogs, or more often, feed 1t to their own stpck and thereby increase the selling price still more, The number of fat stook, cattle, hogs and sheep shipped from western points has been increasing rapldly. This has brought the market for grain to the .farmers' granary. Many farmers after growing a good wheat crop were obliged to sell it for % cents per bushel. Wheat now. brings from 76 cents to $1 per bushel,.and if fed to hogs, will bring more. A yield: of five to ten bushels of grain was considered u fallure when prices were low, Five bushels .of corn, worth only 70 cents, might not be worth taking care of, ‘while the same yield when worth $2.60 might. be considered worth while. Many fields of wheat which were not harvested during the days of low prices would now ‘be harvested with profit. Ohange in Dairy Methods, “The change In dalry methods and mar- kets alone afford much encouragement. The only way to market dairy products in the early day, was to make butter and sell it to the local grocer. There were no tacllities for making good butter in the summer time and there was no milk in the winter. As a result of this, butter was of a poor quality and very low In price. Now the farmer has a hand separator and can get cash for his cream at any ship- ping point. The farmer who finds that his crops are short ean turn to milking cows | ana make expenses, or he can milk enough |cows all the time to pay household ex- penses. Many farmers are going Into | datryinig rather strongly: some even bulld- |ing silos. This will decrease the mcreage | necessary to support a family. With the sumption that the climate | remains “always ‘the same, and no one claims that it will grow more unfavorable | than the normal, a survey of the changos which haye taken place during the last twenty years in other matters affecting | the farmer, seems to indicate a steady de- | velopment and . promise well for the fu- ture. The attitude of the old residents is | favorable to farming. Thelr success Inal. | cates that others can succeed. There is {now a knowledge of climatic conditions and a knowledge of how to deal with the unfavorable features of the climate. ““There are in the country suftable varie- ties of grain and torage plants. There are also & few trees that have proven thelr | abliity to @ot the landscape with patches of green.’'The country Is equipped with | fatrly sujtable machinery and with power to draw ft. The markets are such that even a small crop means a living. There is both ‘moNey and work in all parts of the country. "The man coming in, 1s bring- ing with him e fderable capital. He in- tends to stay and with conditions so much more favorable than they were twenty years ago, we belleve that the farmers who face conditions fairly and use knowledge within thelr reach will remaln and bulld up permanent homes."

Hamllton at Florence the night of July 25, who gave himself up to the sheriff's officers late Saturday night, will be arralgned in county court Thursday.
