Cleveland County Farm Boy Tells Of His Experiences In West In my other article I believe It was stated that In this one t would describe further some of the trials and adventures which five Cleve land county boys encountered. The United States is a big place, and in It are some big states and in some of these large states are some big mountains. Colorado is one of these. AU of us had seen the beautiful lit tle hills of western North Carolina, but had never seen any real moun tains as people In Colorado con sider mountains. While in school one studies of Pikes Peak and how it's discoverer climbed and labored for days before reaching the top and at last when it was reached was so spent in strength, his body weakened by the long hours of exhaustion that he died before reaching fhe foot, of the mountain again. We also studied of the cog railroad that goes from the foot, to the top but little did we realise then that the railroad was to play a very important part In two days of our life.

SEABOARD Denver, the capitwj city of Color ado one can easily recognize Pikes Peak ninety miles away although there are numerous stretches ol mountains, wasteland, and semi desert to be crossed before reaching the peak. At ninety miles one coulti not recognize anything out of the ordinary comparing this peak with other.s of the neighborhood but ns one approaches It can b$ seen that it Is somewhat different from the others. It seems to Ufl it's vast dpme-llke head far above the others and seems to Stand as a challenge man's prowess to ascend its sum mit. Well. North Carolina answered the challenge in the form of the five farm boys Who went up about the 15th of July. We answered the challenge but the peak almost, got the best end of it after all Up Pikes Peak. There are four ways which tour ists go to the top, One may. go up on the cog railroad trolley, hire a car, or drive your own, and then there is always the privilege of walking, A charge is made for the others and you pay yourself when going up by foot To walk one has to go nine miles, almost straight, up, it seems, and our case the last lour miles were covered by ice and snow. Starting about noon and ex pecting to get back by late slipper we climbed probably an hour thinking we were nearly hair up and on asking someone found we had only come a mile and a hair. All that afternoon we toiled pain fully upward once encountering a severe electric and hall storm and about, dark being fully exhausted we reached the summit. Seeing it almost, impossible to return we de cided to stay all night. The man* agement. kindly let us stay for about, all the money we had. But I sup pose the view we saw the next morn ing was worth all the trouble we had gone to In order that we might see it A sunrise over the vast panorama of mountain: plains, desert, forests, etc,', from the alti tude of 14,110 feet Is really won derful. The sun appeared to he ris ing away below us and as It came on up diffusing it's light among the various objects we began *b comprehend what u wonderful sight we were seeing. For hundreds of miles in every direction we could see the country spread ofit before us. The guide told lis we were see ing into 9 different states, that a little line away to the south was supposed to be the Grand Canyon, that little ridges away to the north and west were other giant moun tains as large as the one we were on, and that the little ribbon of white interspersed among diamonds of sparkling radiance were the rivers and lakes of the country round about us. All told it was a great sight and itVas with a feed ing of elation and also that we were on top of the world that we againg started to work coming down, ready to say with the hero of old, we came, we saw. we cop-, querrd To Wheat Fields. Having seen the Rocky Moun tains we headed once more tor the wheat harvest in southwest Neb aska. Going through northwestern Colorado we saw our first Irrigated farming Here each year are $50,000 000 worth of sugar beets and fresh vegetables grown. The water for the irrigation is obtained from the South Platte and its tributaries. With the water supply under their control the farmers are able to pro duce almost unthinkable ytelds from their crops. Often great profits are realized and would be more if the water rights were not so expensive. No fertilizer is used as the land is very fertile in its natural condition. The raising of sugar beets is their principal industry. The process of making sugar from beets is very in teresting The big befts are dug, carried to the factory, washed, and put in luke-warm water to soak for several hours. Then they are run through a big machine which rushes them and removes t1-.,* juice that contains sugar. The pulp is dried and is a very valuable, succu lent food for live-stock. and the juice is boiled down to sugar and is used all over the World Colorado ranks first in the United States in the production of sugar be-t.s.

Being oil the frontier for many years, ine town has seen some real interesting days. So each year hundreds and thousands gather for participation in the "big event." Here we saw, In pageant form, the old pvaiiie schooner, stage coach, early trains, robberies, hideously painted Indian warriors, the old saijon, gamb'Mig hall, faro table, bandits, etc. It was all displayed with the characteris tic style and gay color of the west. And speaking of saloons, it Is said of Wyoming as well as other states, that one may yet place a foot on the rail, blow the foam away and drink to his hearts content. (This Is a little off-side, but Wyoming has lots of visitors every year.) Hun dreds of cowboys come in each year from surrounding ranches and oth er states to participate in the va rious contests which are held. We saw world champions ride and try to ride bronchos that had never been ridden. Another Interesting but dangerous sport is '•bull-dog ging'' steers. A big, lanky, wild-eyed longhorn steer is turned loose and a a big cowboy on a horse with a flourish of his hat, and a loud yell takes out after him. On approach ing him the cowboy takes a flying leap from the saddle, grasps the animal r>v the neck or horns and endeavors to throw him In a cer tain length of time. This Is a very dangerous sport, because if the cow boy can't twist the steer’s rubber neck far enough to throw It and it gets loose or something it's just too bad for the cowboy. In addition to this we saw a real old war dance put on by a tribe of 300 Sioux Ind ians, Their hideously painted faces, gymnastic actions, and weird chanting can surely stir ones im agination, and for my part I was glad I lived in the United States DAN FRAZIER Civil Engineer And Surveyor Farm Surveys, •Sub-divis ions, Plats and General Engineering Practice. - Phone 417 - —, —. j CALL MAUNEY BROS.

About e . hundred thousand people were there ■ to see the show, among them Mrs Nellie Ross, the first woman gover nor. Although Wyoming is a com paratively new state it is important in many ways. It ranks first in the production of sheep, produces much copper, lead, iron and coal. One thing noticeable about Wyoming it that it is very dry. They have only 'about seven or eight Inches of rain ! fall per year. One of their principal rivers Is called Powder river, prob ably because of its dryness. A tourist who wants some water from the river must go into the dry river bed to an old pump and pump awhile before satisfying his thirst Coining Home. Oi'CI iUl SIX WFt'Ki in the wheat fields, participating in the various jobs of driving tractors running combines, hauling grain and working with threshing ma chines that require 15 to 20 men and thresh from two to three thous and bushels of grain per day, we headed for the land of cotton fields pine trees and song-birds. Eastern Nebraska and Iowa are different from the wheat sections. Instead ol the level prairie and wheat are the slightly rolling fields of corn, Iowa Is much noted for Its good roads, schools, bountiful crops of com and thusands of hogs It is said that in Iowa there is less than 1.1% illit eracy among school children while in North Carolina it is well over 10%, Having seen so much of the country we decided we wanted to see some town so we came through Chicago. We were both sorry and glad that we did. Being the second largest city in the United State* I’ll say Chicago is some town. Out first impression of it was that there was r circus in' town, that It was Saturday or something. We drove more than forty miles to get through the town going through that famous downtown district call ed "the Loop" which is the busiest part of Chicago. After driving over to see the blue waters of Lane Michigan we drove out of town on Lake Michigan Boulevard on which ten cars may meet ten more cars and still have room to pass. One thing noticeable is the speed with which they drive The faster you can go and the more cars you can dodge the better they like it. If you slow up—well " the traffic officer says "tell it to the judge.” The noise of the city is terrible The CITY ELECTRIC CO. H. \V. HARMON, Mfi. Electrical Con. and Repairing:.

C. ■] - SEABOARD - j elevated trains go roaring through I with cars, trucks and trolleys nil about and It is a great wonder more are not killed than are Although residents and policemen say Chica go is not as bad as its reputation we saw two funeral procession* while in town. This may not mean anything. One might do this In any town, but nevertheless two in thir ty minutes seem quite enough for rue. But Chicago does not live cm its reputation alone. It Is a city of over three million people. the worlds greatest railroad center, the | metropolis for Inland waterway transportation and as William jWrigiey says, the home of the win j ners of the next, world's champion baseball series. So after all I sup pose it has its good points. but talking personally with a member of llir police force was told that l! would b<yeasier to dry up Lake Michigan than to remove the liquor traffic and underworld gangste'rs of the city. My impression is that he is right if Tie had only , made it: , strong enough. Seeing A C ltv. In Chicago are the Union stock j yards and Armours Packing Co It j is the largest of its kind in the ) world We went, through a part of > i this plant, and thereby gained aj [small idea of w;hat a great task it I is Just to furnish the meat for a. ! world that, is always hungry This I plant covers one hundred thirty three acres in the heart of Chicago and they daily slaughter thirty-six hundred steers, ten thousand calves. 'and sheep and twenty . thausrnd I hogs. We w atched the process ot 1 I killing and dressing and packing of j j these animals and from the time a ! nice porker is enjoying himself in j a cool shower bath it is only sixteen ! minutes until he is getting cold in I the form of ham, bacon, pork chops etc Sixty thousand employees | work in this plant, more people than ; live in Cleveland county, and each I one has his specific task and per forms it well. One has been making (the same cut on thousands of car casses as they pass him for thirty j years, twenty of which he has been stone blind. The whole organization 1 is an intricate machine which works f efficiently and economically When we go to the butchers to buy our I meat we scarcely realize the pro cess the meat goes through.in ol der that we might .be served so readily ! On our tour we covered fourteen states and many more counties, but | not another state or county did vve [find to rival North Carolina or | Cleveland county. In a climate- so [pleasant, countryside so beautiful or [a people so friendly. Some sections [may be ahead of us in some things, , but there are none ahead in every thing, Although it seems as. farmer boys we have "been plates and seen things" we are glad to start to work and call ourselves Tarheels once [more. Being gone only ten wee!::; 'one day, eighteen hours and twen ty-one minutes we saw only a small part of the United States and yet we saw enough to begin to realize the magnitude of our country's in dustries such as agriculture, com merce, milling, etc. We have a great, country, one to love and be prdud of It is the richest nation in the world. in it are some of the best people in the world and if£ greatness is a challenge to us to help keep it so.

' ■ —...V NON-PARTISAN BOARD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS To The Voters Of Cleveland County: While I am a life-long Democrat, and while Cleveland i« a Democratic County in that a majority of the people arc Democrats, I have always felt that it is only fair and just that the Republican party should have representation on the County Boards of Commissioners and Education. As I see it, there is no politics involved in cither of these Boards and they should not be composed of men from the dominant party only. While the Republican party is a minority party in Cleve land County, the members of that party pay as much taxes, in proportion to numbers and property holdings, as the Dem ocrats and the tax burden is just as heavy on them as on the Democrats. Hence, they should at all times have representa tion on the Boards that spend the county funds. To deny them this right is to heap upon them the same injustice that our forefathers fought for in the Revolutionary war—“Tax ation without representation.” As the Democratic party is the dominant party in Cleveland County, it should have two members on each of the Boards named above, and the Re publicans the third member. I note with much interest that the Republican party has taken an initial step which opens the opportunity for such arrangement as set forth above. That the three candidates previously nominated by them for County Commissioners have resigned or withdrawn from the race and, in their stead, the party has nominated one man only for Commissioner, leaving the other two places on their ticket vacant. It would now be a most commendable and gracious act on the part of the Democratic party to withdraw one of its candidates for County Commissioner, thus leaving the other place vacant for the Republicans. This would constitute a non-partisan Board without a single Democrat or Republican voting for a member of the opposing party, unless he so desires. This :ourse should appeal forcibly to every Democrat in the coun ty who favors justice and fair-dealing. Of course, a hide bound politician who places blind partisanism above the ten commandments will oppose this course. I am pleased to see that the Republicans have selected Mr. Rufus A. Lackey, of Fallston, N. C., as their sole candi- . date for County Commissioner. In my estimation, no better selection could have been made in the county. He is well qualified for the position and is a man of the highest in tegrity. He has made a success with his own business and ! am certain he would be a success in handling the business :>f the county. Am certain he would safe-guard the funds of the county. As for me, I propose to vote -for him as one of i he Board of County Commissioners and for two of the Dero ■jeratic nominees as the other two. I shall advise every Dem icrat in Cleveland County who believes in the “Square deal” .0 do likewise. S. A. ELLIS, Democrat. 'helby, N. C.. Sept. 11, 1930. (POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT)
