I promised to write to you when I left Magnet, so now will try and fulfil that promise, will tell you first where I am living. I am on a farm at Oelriches, S. Dak one mile east of town, we are both well and happy, even if I did vote for Teddy and have to eat crow for thanksgiving, to many democrats in Nebrasa for me, so I moved to South Dakota.

Will say a few things about the west, as I have seen some of it, I have been in Wyoming dont think much of that State, some good land there lots of poor, and the water is poor, I like Box Butte Co. fine I think Hemingford and surrouding country is the best place in western Nebr. they loaded from 10 to 19 cars of potatoes daily from there this fall. I saw one field of corn there that averaged 80 bu. to the acre it was plowed 14 inches deep, so you see that was going down in the earth, I like the land around Oelrichs, S. D. good crops were raised here this year and the soil is good, I think this is the place for a poor man for he will alwajs have a little grass to eat if nothing more.

I will have to tell you about our Telephone System here, the lines are short, 5 poles is the limit at present, and the rings are one pole one ring, two poles 2 rings, and so on up to five rings. when you want Central just run out in the yard and call her, and she will ring your party if they was not already out doors and heard you first, so we have no trouble like Magnet and that country.

Land is advancing here, good buildings are going up, old eastern farmers are a coming here and in a few years this will look just as healthy and eastern as Nebraska.
Very TruIy; - S. A. Hathaway.

I see by THE MAIL that the weather back there is not just right to suit to suit the most of you. Say, the weather here is just fine, couldent be any better if it was made to order, the coldest it has been here since we came out here, three weeks ago is 10 above and that was just one morning and by 8 o'clock in the morning the thermometer jumped to 70 above. the first week we was here we had some snow, but its visit was short, every body here wear hats and walk around in their shirt sleeves, some evenings it gets cool enough to put on a jacket, we have no wind here and all kinds of ?l?ck look.

the weather is just ideal for stock they dont feed stock anything but alfafa except Horses when they work them they feed some oats. I bought a span of mare colts coming in the middle of July that weigh 1450 they never has a mouthful of any kind of grain, just alfalfa and they were so fat that when they walk they wobble like a turtle.

Every thing is high here which is raised on the farm, cows run from $75 to $100, horses from $275 to $400 a team, hogs are very high, chickens are worth 45 a dozen, butter is 30¢s eggs 25¢s, wheat $1.00 to $1.75, per hundred, oats $1.30 per hundred, potatoes are cheap, $1, per hundred alfalfa hay 35, timothy hay $12 per ton, lumber is worth $22 per (?) coal is $1.75 per ton at the smal (?) wood is free, 4 inch red cedar posts are worth 4 to 6¢s all ready cut, all kinds of implements are high, all kinds of fence wire is a trifle higher than in Magnet, what you buy at the store is some higher, flour the same.

All kinds of crop yields are enormous out here, oats make from 75 to 125 bushels to the acre, wheat from 40 to 65, alfalfa 6 to 9 tons to the acre for the season, timothy 3 to 5 tons, potatoes 300 to 400 bushels to the acre, one of my neighbors got over 400 bushels to the acre this year, and another one had 107 bushels of oats to the acre. Oats weigh 44 to 46 pounds to the bushel, wheat makes 2-1/4 bushels to a sack. Does it sound right to you, or does it sound like a fish story? It sounds slick, yet I know it is the the truth, just the same.

Say Moore, you ought to be here, just one day, and take in this climate and weather it would do you good the rest of your life, it is splended, precious, lovely, what else will I call it? I feel sorry for you fellows back there in the blizzards, what more can I do?

Precinct 18 last fall elected a precinct assessor, by a good safe majority, and furnished a good safe majority vote for the county assessor that was elected, but for some reason, best known to himself, this same elected county assessor, just simply ignored the peoples' wish of precinct 18, and appointed the man for the office whom the electors turned down at last falls election. Surely Mr. Robinson is to much of a gentleman to be influenced, in this precinct office appointment, by politics, but on the face of the election facts, things in this case look quite political. It does seem like that the democrats, in this county, that elected their man to office last fall have failed to furnish it for some of them. So if an officer can hold over, or an officer, higher up can appoint a subordinate, what is the use of having an election. The electors out here are feeling very much disappointed with the course which Mr. Robinson has taken in this matter.
