PAINTER Editor & Publisher 21 Nov 1890, Friday, Vol. IV - No. 15 Page One LOCAL LORE It is our purpose to note the arrival and departure of all guests to our city, and request those who have visitors to inform us of the fact. Local news items are always thankfully received. A.J. Baker took the train for Denver Tuesday morning. The fire boys will have an interesting program for the banquet. Get ready to attend the Fireman’s Banquet next Thursday night. C.M.C. Woolman has moved his office into the city council room. A.A. Spahr returned this week from his business trip to Illinois and Indiana. August Scheunemann came in from Nebraska last week on a visit to his brother Gust. Mr. Frank Adams and wife drove up to Holyoke from Yuma this week on a visit to Mrs. Dakan. Andrew Hendrix of Haxtun was in Holyoke, Tuesday, on business and called at the HERALD office. Miss Mabel Britt, who has been visiting with the family of Mrs. Adair, left for her home at Hastings, Nebraska Wednesday. J.C. Reiff, George Clark, G.F. Blakely and H.W. Wakeman left for Denver this week where they go to serve as jurors in the United States District Court. L. Tinkel returned from his western trip Saturday. He seems much pleased with the business push and prosperity of several of the western cities visited by him. John Reiff says that the Court House ring put up a job on him when they had him selected as juror, but he is at a loss to know which one is the guilty party. Charley Moore was thrown from his horse yesterday and received a fall that resulted in unconsciousness for some time. He was considerably bruised, but received no very serious injury. A letter from G.R. Ellis informs us that he is spying out the land in the vicinity of the Black Hills. He writes from Deadwood and gives a glowing description of the boom that is in progress in that city and elsewhere in the Hills. He says the mineral wealth of the Black Hills far surpasses any idea that can be formed of it without a personal inspection. The A.J. Baker stock of goods was sold by Sheriff Temple Saturday. R.L. McDonald & Co., of St. Joseph, Missouri, buying the stock for $3050. McDonald & Co. have since sold the goods to Tinkel, Williams & Co., who have moved the stock into their building. NOTICE The board of county commissioners will be in session Saturday, November 22, 1890, at 9 o’clock a.m., for the purpose of approving bonds and such other business as may come before the board. By order of John C. Elder, Chairman Board of County Commissioners J.T. Anderson and family took the train this week for Oregon where they expect to make their future home. Mr. Anderson was a good citizen and business man and we are sorry that our town has lost him. Cyrus Waugh, after spending the summer in Oklahoma and Texas, returned last week to Holyoke for a short stay. He says that the people in Oklahoma are seeing pretty hard times, but they are receiving help from the general government. Williams says that he must economize and is treating his readers to a patent sheet that was printed last spring. He would be treating his subscribers much more respectfully if he sent out a blank sheet, for then they could make some use of it. Contrary to our expectations, Williams throws up the sponge and admits that his stock of excuses for past actions is exhausted. He now consoles himself with the thought that the great democratic land slide has covered up his past deeds. The military reservation in Sedgwick County is now open for settlement. The U.P. road was given every alternate section and the remainder is open for homestead filings only, as we are informed. This will give the settlers on the reservation an opportunity to get title to their land that they have stayed by so faithfully. Be sure and attend the Fireman’s Banquet next Thursday night. You will be sure to have a most enjoyable time and by your attendance will encourage the fire boys to great diligence in their duties as volunteer firemen. The people of the town certainly owe it to the fire boys to make this banquet a success and we are sure that they will do so. Let all come to the banquet and have a jolly, good time. Williams says the whole country has sustained him in denouncing the republican party and he feels all the more justified in his course heretofore. He is evidently a man of great influence to be able to carry the whole country with him. It is a pity for him to waste his brilliant editorial ability on such a small city as Holyoke. He should by all means establish a branch office in Denver that the whole state may have the benefit of his political wisdom and foresight. Whenever Williams wishes to say anything mean about us, he attempts to make it appear that we are to be held accountable for the course persuaded by the HERALD while owned and published by parties, over whom, the present editor had no more influence or control than Williams had. If the doctrine of original sin holds good in the line of newspaper succession and an editor is to be held accountable for the sins of his predecessors, then the future editor of the NEWS will have a load to carry that will bring him down to an early grave. Holyoke, Colorado, November 19th 1890. To the alliance of Phillips County. Greeting. Your attention is called to the fact that by prompt effort on the part of the farmers of Phillips County we can secure liberal concessions from the Grand Island Beet Sugar Co, who are contemplating placing mills in several localities in western Nebraska and eastern Colorado, also the government is having this valley examined by experts with a view of putting down an artesian well as a test, on the plan of irrigation, you are requested to send full delegations to the next meeting of the county alliance to be held on Saturday, November 28, that this matter may be fully discussed and understood, as prompt action can alone secure the prize placed before us. - Charles R. Peter, Secretary F.A. & C.U. BEACHVILLE Supt. Timberlake, of Holyoke, was visiting the school in this vicinity last Thursday. Mrs. Jerry Noonan, of Hereford, Wyoming, was visiting friends in this vicinity first of the week. Protracted meeting will be held at the residence of Israel Crater on section 10-8-45 every evening of this week at 7 o’clock by Rev. Richards of Imperial, Nebraska. N.S. Fisher and family were visiting at Israel Crater’s last Sunday. Mrs. M. Peter and daughter Mrs. O. Troutman were visiting her daughter Mary Peter last Thursday. Henry Mason of Wray was visiting H.H. Mason the first of the week. - OLD MISERY NOTICE There will be a meeting of the Holyoke Board of Trade at the County Judges office in Holyoke, on Friday evening, November 21, 1890, at 7:30 o’clock. The object of this meeting is to take steps toward securing the location at Holyoke of a plant for the reduction of the sugar beet to such a state as that it can be shipped at small expense to our nearest refinery. We are reliably informed that a few plants of this kind will, the coming year, be placed in eastern Colorado and western Nebraska. Other towns are aware of the benefits such a plant would be to their town and country and are striving unitedly to secure it. There in no good reason why Holyoke should not secure it, Phillips County beets making a splendid showing at Grand Island this fall. Let everybody interested attend the meeting. - C.M.C. Woolman, President, Charles B. Timberlake, Secretary In this issue you will see a call for a meeting of the Board of Trade. The object for which the meeting is called is certainly one that interests every man in the town and especially those who own property. Those who have investigated the matter, claim that Phillips County lies in about the center of the best beet growing district in the United States. A sample of beets raised in the county was analyzed at Grand Island, which, if it shows anything, shows that this estimate of the advantages for beet culture possessed by this section of country is correct. We are sorry that those who received seed last spring for planting did not take more interest in bringing in sample beets from the different parts of the county that we might have had a thorough test of this matter. The owners of the beet sugar plant at Grand Island entertain a very high opinion of the advantages of the Phillips County soil and climate for the culture of the sugar beet and as they have decided to put in machinery at several points for the purpose of reducing the beets for shipping to Grand Island, there is no reason why Holyoke does not have a good prospect for securing the location of a plant. This, however, can not be hoped for if the citizens of the county do not interest themselves in the matter at once, as other towns are anxious to secure the location. Let every man in the town come out to this meeting and start the ball to rolling at once. Proceedings of the Board of County Commissioners at special session, November 4, 1890.
