The town of Colby is to be or
ganized on the joint stock plan,
the shares, forty in number, to be
sold at one hundred dollars each,
the proceeds to be used in pur
chasing three hundred and twen
ty acres of land for the town site,
buildinir a school house and a
town hall, the latter to be used
for a court house. .
The town site tis three miles
north of the geographical center
of the county and consists of
three hundred and twenty acres
ol the tiniest land to ue found in
Thomas countv. Water can be
had at the depth of from 45 to GO
feet, and is very soft, perfectly
free from -alkali.
The land is to be bought of the
R. R. Co., and the negotiations
are no doubt by this time com
pleted. The organization will
apply for a charter irom the
State, and the officers will be a
President, Secretary and five Di
rectors, making it absolutely a
safe investment.
The plan of the organization
could not be better. Each share
holder will be equally benefitted
by the increase m value of town
property, and instead ot one or
two men financially interested in
the growth ot the town, there
will be forty.
We can safely speak for the
future of Colby. It is far enough
away from all competing points
to make a line little city in a very
few years, and the beautiful- and
rich country around it will cer
tainly support a city of Some
pretentions.
The surveyors of the C. B. Mo.
Pacific are surveying tbjs way,
also the B. & M. surveyors are
near Oberlin on a through route
to Pueblo, striking the great cat
tie country of the West, taking
the trade in stock which at pres
ent is at St. Louis, to Chicago,
antl Thomas county and Colby
are on the direct route.
The shares are nearly all spok
en for by residents of the county,
and the building boom will soon
commence.
We will publish more about
the organization next -week.

The gentleman whose name
heads this article, is a candidate
for Register of the Oberlin land
office under the new administra
tion. Now we are of the opinion
that the present officers are capa
ble and efficient gentlemen, and
should be retained, and if the
civil service rules are to be ob
served in federal appointments,
here is a fair chance for the pres
ent administration to prove the
sincerity ot their declarations.
But if the present officers ttmast

This country is so rapidly filling
land I handle and can save you
go,:' we are unquestionably and
unreservedly" in favor of G. W.
Bertram, of Oberlin, for Regis
ter. "Who, m the great North
west, has not heard of the irre
pressible Webb, and his connec
tion with the Democratic politics
ot the District. If the party is
to reward its earnest workers and
toilers for the cause, G. W. will
certainly be appointed. In the
earlier days when there were
hardly Democrats enough in the
Northwest to make a shadow, G.
W. could always be found faith
ful to the Democracy. It was
then to the Democracy what the
dry winds and grasshoppers were
to the country very discourag
ing. but he never wavered, and
now should he befa.or.od, it will
only be a just reward for services
given the party in its days ol dis
iI)pomtments. The district pa
pers have all given him favorable
mention. The Oberlin Herald
says :
With thi-i issu.u" the Herald presents its
candidate for liegisttr of the laud office at
Ohcrlin, in the person of the above named
individual. And as the only Democratic
journal in this land district we ciaini the
riht to some consideration for our remarks.
A e do not usually publish an illustrated
paper, but have departed from our usual
cnttoui in this instance, believing this al
together unnecessary There he is known
and onlv of advantage to those not having
the pleasure of a personal naquaintance
with Mr. Bertram.
The press of the district, without, wc be
lieve, a single exception, havo endorsed his
candidacy, and wc have republished in a
former issue many of these notices, showing
what he is thought ol by those with whm
he has had business relations. We can hard
ly add anj thing to what has alread been
paid ns to his ability and fitness for the posi
tion, but we can say, and that truthfully,
that no man in the Democratic party has
givtn so liberally of his time and money as
Mr. Bertram, to the build.ng up and organ
ization of the Democratic party of this
county as well as Rawlins, and for that
matter every county in the entire land dis
trict has had the bcnelit of his efforts. "We
have ever and shall ever advocate and he in
favor of home men for home offices, and if
we got what we arc entitled to. that is men
liviug withing the bounds of the district for
Register and Receiver at this place, then
certainlv G. W. Bertram will be made Reg
ister of the U. S. land ofnee at Oberlin. We
shall see if tho Democratic party is supe
rior to the Republican in importing men to
fill the officce.
