What has become of County Commissioner Furley? We have noticed that he has became very scarce quite recently as chairman of the county board of commissioners.

Probably two commissioners are cheaper to the county than three of them would be.

After a close perusal of current events we are led to believe that something is radically wrong with the administration of our county affairs. A local contractor bid for the construction of culverts was turned down and the contract for the same work was given to an out of the county party for a sum of $819.90 more than that of the local contractor. It may be that the county commissioners have a right to place these contracts wherever they choose, irrespective of the size of the bid, but until the commissioners can give a reasonable excuse for so doing, the tax payers of Cedar County will surely hold them responsible for that $819.90. We rise to ask them the question who is to blame, if they are not.

The university department of agricultural extension finds that last year this state produced more than seven million bushels of apples. This was six bushels apiece for every man and woman and child within the borders of the state and of course more than the home markets could absorb. Yet apples from other states were brought in and found a welcome. When Nebraska fruit growers make their orchards their main dependence and not a side issue to some other line of business this condition will no longer obtain. The Nebraska product, comming from trees that have been properly sprayed and cared for, is equal to the best imported fruit. They have bulletins for free distribution that will tell every Nebraska orchardist how he can produce apples of finer quality than the flashy importations that now compete with him in his home market.

The above resolution seems to be quite a jolt aimed at several precincts which are not so fortunate as to have any of the inheritance tax land within their boundaries, and further we do not believe that the Board has been given power to amend the statutes to suit their own Convenience.

They have on feed about 500 head of cattle, which will soon be ready for the market, beside a lot of stock cattle, all of which are fine. Mr. Bigelow may not be so much for horses but he sure gets there with the goods when it comes to the hog proposition. They also have about 750 head of sheep old and young. They employ about a dozen men the year round and are farming quite extensively. Alfalfa is grown on this ranch quite as good as anywhere in the state.

The one traction engine purchased by the county is in use and the other graders are drawn by hired engins. All towns of the county are to be connected with a good road, and the main stem road leads to Beatrice. - STATE JOURNAL.

The above article shows that at least one county in the state is using its inheritance tax in the right direction. Such roads as the above is the greatest advertisment that money can buy, for any country, and right here in Cedar county is a good place to make such an advertisment.

There seems to be quite a howl going up all over the county about high taxes. Well we presume that they will be considerable lower next year as the assessment was made in the good old way this spring.

On our way to Hartington Tuesday the indications led us to predict a bumper crop of all kinds of grain and hay. Some of the corn is a little late and foul but the cultivator is getting in good work and with the continuance of dry weather they will be over it this week then the farmers will be ready for a good soaking rain. The Alfalfa crop never was better than now, most of the first crop is cut and is being stacked. Oats are a good stand and the prospect is as good as it ever was.

Stock is looking good in the pastures, and judging from the amount of cream cans here, and at other points near here, the milk cows are doing well.

The good roads proposition seems to be squarely up to the business man and farmer alike. Our road supervisor has been doing some good work on the roads of this precinct. Since the rainy season has closed the ground has been in fine condition to handle, now if we are going to continue this good road business we will have to go down into our "garments" and dig up a little of the expense. It seems to us that out in the country there ought to be a special levy made to be known as a special road fund and the more the work to be done, along these lands, the more the tax.

Although the Nebraska legislature at its recent session decreed, in effect, that Sunday baseball no longer should be listed as a crime, the county attorney of Nuckels county Sunday stopped the advertised game between the Superior and Kerney teams of the state league. The law provides for the issuance of a permit for the Sunday games by the county commissioners, but it is understood that the Nuckols county board has refused to grant the required permit for games played outside the corporate limits, of Superior. The Superior management, in all probability, will now proceed to invoke an election to provide for Sunday games within the town. In practically every Nebraska city and town where the issue has been submitted to the people at the polls the national pastime has been victorious.
