May 29, '01 Sir Editor; Having been sonic days in Beaver City recently dur'n court wetk I did not know but thut some items eonccrningonrTertitori.il off a and othera that were there might iittct est the many Beaver County readers of youi paper. The first oje upon the list as matter of course was Jude Scaj, whom every one that tncf ts agrees is a great big jolly manly man, honest, earnest and fearless in his dealings with every one, while: his decisions may not always be accept' able to all ot us, uo one who ever kneW him could doubt, that they ure dictated by principle and desire to give strictly impartial mfly thank thj powers that be, 1 appointing such a one, or else "wc" bis constitneucyt would in this county huve an endless n-mount of public money to pay for the privatises of airing every petty spite; personal grievance and malice ill court. As Judge Seny himself remarked, every new country organization had its factional fights and he did not propose to help any faction to keep them up at Co.

expense' Mr. Sa! Rowden is a tall slender alert looking young American that seems td be a very capable nnd efficient clerk. Mr. Grimes (our U. S.

marshal!) for Oklahoma is a large good looking blonde, that along with an avadtipois of (I think 200 lbs. weight, carries with him theun mistaknble imprint of brains, and a calm evenly balanced mind, that, undoubtedly weighs the "pros and cons" for himself, unbiased by liny tx-parle statement that might he made him, some matters that came up regarding affairs in our extreme western outposts, thoroughly impressed me with his fitness for his "groove" without any symptona of stopping over. As in our Judge, so, in our we are fortunate. As, during our stay, the Herd Law question wos "on top." It might not be amiss to mention the two men that led the case for the two sidesofthisquestion Mr. Roberts is also a great big jolly (ex cept when he has the toothache) blonde, Receiver at Kingfisher Land office' who is calculated to make friends every where, his argument was able and seemed to win general praise, and proved successful.

Next comes Mr. McCarlney, who was member of the Council from Kingfisher, and won universal praise for bis readiness, deftness and quickness to seize upon anything by way of an opening during the fight, and wascalled by sonic one for his flowery tongue, the Ingersoll of the council, he was upon the Free Range side at Beaver, and while upon the losing side, borehiscolors gallantly and submitted to defeat with the stoicism of an Indian warrior. The next thing I may remark upon the Herd question is that the "free rangers" now propose to take this question into the Supreme Court, in the mean timd pending a sentiment what law have we? Echo answers what? I will try in my next to introduce our readers to Beaver City itself and the Co. officials, or, at least, my impressions of them until then. Aditu.

Where is the pusillanimous prevaricator who said there was no wheat in the country? The furming class has received more Irom this country than any other class, and if you will reflect you will see that it is so. We not only gave every one a farmj bht we spent millions upon millions untold to build railroads eVery man's farm to carry to market his products. There has been more expenditure in behalf of the farmer than in behalf of anything else. Now, what was the result? The result was that we could keep noue of our boys up in New Hampshire tiling the farms. They wanted to go west where they could get a farm for nothing.

Our farms are tleserted. We couldn't compite with the west on those cheap lauds. Our farms cost from $50 to $100 an acre, while some of the best lands in the world can be bought in the west for $1.50 per acre. That endid ir farming. Nothing else more nor less.

What was the consequence? It was that there was an immense rush into the business ot farming, so that we raised of all the staples of farming a great deal more than was used in this country, ami we had to go abroad find a market for it. We have about got rid of all our public lands that ure fit for cultivation. There wont be any more to be taken np this 'vay. I have told you, and when we get there thi thing stops, and the price of land goes up, and the farmer stays at home.

The Seward Co. Teachers Institute o-pened Monday June with a large attendance and the interest shown by the teachers tends to make this one' of the best institutes in the state. It is true that in this sparely populated county we do not expect the number of teachers as-in the more populated counties' but we do say we can arouse the interest enthusiasm as wctt as they. The interest taken by our worthy instructors Professors Beeson and Stickle and county superintendent Miss Mills, will be well remembered by our fellow teachers, and when at the close of the institute we can heartily say our time was protitab'y spent, and in conclusion we can add that "Well begun is half done."
