Lexington Pioneer.Judge Grimes, of North Platte,

and his immediate friends are put-ting a check on the boom of theJudge for congress. Judge Grimesis deeply sensible of the honor con-

ferred upon him by the republicansof the 13th Judicial District, and hefeels that he is in duty bound toserve them as judge during thewhole term for which he was elected,instead using his position to reachhigher. It is no doubt flattering toMr. Grimes to hear his name sokindly mentioned by his friends allover this congressional district, foran honor that would be pleasing tohis ambition, but he is conscious ofthe fact that he owes his time andtalents to the 13th Judicial District,and that it would be ungrateful onhis part to desert his present posi-tion, wp,n after such a hard andbrilliant fight by the republicans.Few men would take such an un-

selfish view of the situation, butthe Judge will not lose any prestigeby the course he has taken. Brok-en Bow Republican.

FORTUNES IN SMALL FARMS.

George Heed, of Wellfleet, whohas already had something to sayto the farmers about the possibilities of Nebraska soil which they areneglecting, brought to the Journalyesterday some samples of onionsand potatoes raised under irrigationin Lincoln county. The onionsJieraised himself, harvesting just 375bushels from half an acre. Hisneighbor C. A. Glaze, pumpedwater from a well with a windmilland had the satisfaction of digging440 bushels of fine potatoes from asingle acre. Mr. Heed put wateron five acres and made $1,000 by theoperation last season. His neigh-bor is preparing to irrigate hiswhole farm by the windmill method.The cost will npt exgeed $30 an acre,and he estimates that he could makemoney if his plants cost as much as$50 an acre,.

The windmill is bringing about anew dispensation in Lincoln coun-ty. The fanners who have had theenterprise and stability to stick'through the bad seasons of the astthree years now feel tlrat they havetheir feet firmly planted on the roado prosperity. They have the rich

est soil n the world. They havean ideal climate. It lias been dem- -

onstrated again and again in thelast two years that five acres underirrigation will support a family,that ten acres will give a comtort- -

ableiucome, and that a small .fieldot alfalta, a herd of stock, and tenacres under water will in a. tewyears yield a competence.

The experience of Ljncoln countyis the experience of practically every cpunty in western Nebraska.Everywbere the gospel of alfalfa isbeing preached by big fields andbig stacks of alfalfa. Everywherewindmills are furnishing water forsmall fields of grajns and vegeta-bles. Wherever alfalfa has gaineda foothold and wherever irrigationhas been given a fair trial one"findsfarmers who have no question aboutthe future of their part of the state.
