W. Means has been doing some wonderful work among the younger | people with his Carter canyon summer camp as well as in constant endeavor. The Boy Scout and the Campfire Girls movement have developed an excellent usefulness among the young set.

Altogether there has been a delightful and useful element in every institution that has been promulgated in Scotts Bluff county due without doubt to the spirit of the people who have become interested.

Conclusion

The editor regrets that he must limit the number of pages devoted to the events and progress and people of Scotts Bluff county. He has been many years accumulating the stories herein told. He has omitted many that he would like to have related and there are many that should have found space that he has not heard. Some one else will some day take up the thread of events and follow on. They will fill in the omissions that I have made. There are so many that I should thank for the kindly assistance that personal mention of each individual will not be possible. I wish however all should know that I appreciate this help and to hope that a better hand than mine will complete the story of our inland empire.

The prosperity of the county in the future will fall upon its people and their co-operative efforts. The present financial condition has proven unsatisfactory in that the banks have exacted too great a tribute in proportion to the service rendered.
