PLAN IS PRACTICABLE
A number of people were in
town But unlay from the various
districts in this end of the conn
ty, attending tho railroad meet
ing. All of them appeared to
ue heartily in favor of some
plan to get. a railroad into
Crook county, but the trouble
seems to be to get them all to cen
ter on one plan, and attempt to
put that through.
The plan which has been pro
posed, to raise $500,000 in this
bounty by subscription to the
preferred stock of the company,
and then bond the road for
enough money to complete it,
is unquestionably the mos
practical plan which has been
suggested. It was adopted
bnly after every possible plan
for securing railroad tnuispor
tation had been carefulty con
sidered, and it has the sanction
and approval of men who are
familiar with the prothotion of
large enterprises. The promo
ters of the plaa have no stock
jobbing scheme to get through,
and. the' are actuated by the
same motive that prompts any
other individual in this county
to desire a railroad built in,
only, their interest is greater
because their investment in this
county is greater. But, ihey
canuot build the road alone,
and the sooner the people of
the county who want a road
come to their assistance, the
sooner will the success of
the plan be assured. "Without
that assistance the plan is cer
tain of failure, and the people
of Crook county will go on wait
ing through another uncertain
period of years for Harriman to
build them a road.
CAMPBELL'S MAGAZINE
Sample copies of Campbell's
Scientific Farmer ate being sent
to a number of farmers in this
county. The magazine deals
almost wholly with farming in
'semi-arid regions, or districts
Vhere the aunual laiufall is dt
ftcient or irregular. The maga
zine is edited by H. W. Camp
bell, who has for a quarter of a
'century made a careful study of
so-called , "dry farming," the
most important item of which is
"conserving the moisture and
"storing it up to meet the de
mands of the growing crop dur
ing the season of drouth. The
Scientific Parmer is published
at Lincoln, Neb , the price be
ing. $1 per 3'ear, and ever'
farmer in this district should be
:n subscriber.
'"30" FOR LA ID LAW PAPER
Editor Seabury of the Laid
law Chronicle, announces thai
'the Chronicle is "80," which in
. 'newspapei parlance means that
it has reached the end. Under
Mr. Seabury's management the
"Chronicle made a new start sev
'eral months ago; but it was evi
"dently the last struggle before
5inal dissolution. Peace to its
iishes.

The open season for buck
deer began on the Ifith of this
munth and the mountains are
paid to be filled with hunters
for big game. Tho open heason
for doe will not begin until Sep
tember 1, but it is questionable
whether any hunter at this sea
son who sees a deer will hold
his lire because of the sex of the
game. The season for both sexes
of deer closes November 1.
"Near beer" is the latest sub
stitute for the real thing, and it
is becoming a popular beverage
in dry communities. It looks
like beer and tastes like it, too,
but is said to be as jnglesa as a
glass of buttermilk.
