Boyd, representing the Pa cific Land Company, a subsidiary company of the Portland, Eugene & Eastern Railway Company, a South ern Pacific line, is in the city inter esting local people In the new town of Alvadore, on the new railroad. Mr. Boyd Is stopping at the Alliance Hotel. He has interested a number of local patties in the new town and several are planning on making a trip out within the next few weeks. Mr. Boyd is announcing his propo sition in this Issue of The Herald. He is well acquainted with the Pa-1 cific coast and its possibilities unci; has had much success in his colonic-1 ation work. A Wonderful Record The Oriental Limited from Chica go to Seattle, via the Burlington Route to St. Paul and the Great Northern (Glacier Park Route), was "On Time" every day from April 14 to July 19. 1914. inclusive 97 days late four times between July 20 and 27 (delays being due to blasting in connection with tunnel construc tion In the Rookies); "On Time" ev ery day from. July 28 to December 15. inclusive an unbroken stretch of 141 days. Put the other way round, this train was "On Time" 236 days (practically eight months) out of 242. This is a most remarkable record. The "On Time" arrival of a fast. heavy passenger train like the Ori ental, after a 72 hour run over 2,217 miles of steel rails, lcnludlng the climb of the Rocky and Cascade mountain ranges. Is a human and mechanical triumph. To make such a record, supervision, operation, roadbed, power, equipment every thing, must be In an exceptionally high state of efficiency. STAMPING OCT DISEASE Five Herds of Cattle Remain to Be Killed In llllnol to Stiuiip Out Foot and Mouth Disease Chicago. March 4 Federal and state officials expect to stamp out the foot and mouth disease In Illinois by the end of the present week, when the last Infected animals will be slaughtered. But five herds remain to be killed. Bills appropriating $5,000,000 to re imburse owners already have been introduced In the legislature. Fig ures compiled by the United States bureau of animal industry, showing the situation regarding foot and mouth disease In the different states affected, as existing Feb. 16, proved Illinois to have been the greatest suf ferer. Illinois, according to the report, had fifty-one Infected counties, 658 Infected herds, 22.950 cattle, 680 sheep. 27.840 swine, a total of 61,- 412 Infected animals. Ohio had thirty-six Infected coun ties, 186 Infected herds, with a total of 10,625 infected animals. Pennsylvania had twenty-eight In fected counties, 707 infected herds, with a total of 18,561 infected ani mals. In Michigan, the total number of infected animals was 7,790; In Indi ana, 6,840; Iowa, 3,572; and Wis consin, 4,440. He Wanted Home Light After Dal Dorgan bad wreaked vengeance on the city jail, It was necessary to use the women's ward on the third floor of the city jail for the prisoners. Tuesday evening dur ing council meeting a drunk man was brought up and placed In the woman's ward, there being no wo men there. This room adjoins the council chamber. Bang, bang, bang went the door to the room after he had been locked In, startling those In the council chamber. "I want some light in here," yelled the in mate. No attention was paid to him. "He'll be able to find a light In there," said the chief, "when he gets sober enough. A light had been placed there for prisoners and was In easy reaching distance of the drunk. Move to Alliance J. C. Morrow, of Scottsbluff, who has been recommended by Senator Hitchcock for appointment as receiv er of the United States Land Office at Alliance, moved here with his family on Monday of this week. The filling of this appointment has been held up by the Hitchcock-Bryan pol itical difficulties in the state. Meeting lostoiied The "Better Farming" meeting which was to have been held at the EmH press theatre Wednesday after noon by H W. Campbell and J. B Lamson, agricultural agents for the Burlington, was postponed on ac count of bad weather. The date of the meeting is indefinite at the pres ent time. Another Heavy Snow After a few days of good, warm weuther, western Nebraska is again the victim of another heavy Bnow storm which started Tuesday and still continues.

SUGAR SEASON CLOSED WELL Beet (irower In North Platte Valley Paid targe Sums for Beets Raised During 1914 The slicing season of the Scotts bluff sugar factory, fifty miles west of Alliance. In the North Piatt Val ley, has closed. The year 1914 was one of the most successful In the his tory of sugar beet growing In the valley, according to the sugar peo ple. Jhe following statistics were taken from the Gering Courier: The beet growers of the Scotts bluff country have been paid $1,400, 000. About 218,000 tons were slic ed at the Scottsbluff factory and about 34,000 tons taken to other fac tories. The season has lasted 114 days of twenty-four hours each, and 700 men have been employed In the mill. After a short rest the greater part of these will go to the beet fields for the summer. The crop grown in this vicinity for 1914 Is the largest grown under any one supervision In the United States the past season, and there was less waste acreage, the beets being better taken care of, the tonnage per acre was larger and the sugar content better than any prev ious year. Owing to an increase In price of sugar the factory manage ment Instituted a profit-sharing scheme with the growers by volun tarily increasing the price of beets a half dollar per ton, by which $125. 000 was distributed among the grow ers of beets. The factory wage scale runs $2,000 per day. The daily capacity this year has been more than 1800 tons of beets, and the out put of sugar more than 200 tons each twenty-four hours. The feeding In proximity to the factory this year, using by-products of the mill and thousands of tons of alfalfa, Is great er than ever. In addition to the data gleaned as above, the following Interesting facts regarding the campaign during the 1914-1915 campaign are furnished us by Manager Simmons, which serve In a more definite way to Impress up on the reader the magnitude of the operations conducted at the factory and its great Importance to the val ley: Cash paid growers for beets $1,424,445.03 Tons of beets delivered 262,671 6.64 20,825 Average price per ton Acres harvested Average revenue per acre, exc. of tops . , .

The maximum tonnage of beets delivered by the growers in one day, amounted to 7,89 tons. This is equivalent to a string of wagons and teams 13.3 mlleB in length.

GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE Sheridan County Murderer Confess Crime and Is Hurriedly Sent to Penitentiary at Lincoln Rushvllle, Nebr., Feb. 24 Eatl Sutton was yesterday sentenced to life In the state penitentiary for th murder of Mrs. Reuben Sanders OS February 14. He pleaded guilty td murder In the second degree aftor confessing the crime to the sheriff and county attorney. Though evidence was circumstan- tlal, feeling ran high against Sutton since the woman was found stabbed to death In her farm home less than a mile outside the city. When Judge Westover passed the sentence" he asked those In the court room to keep still until Sheriff Bruce could leave the city with the prisoner. Th sheriff left for Lincoln shortly aftef sentence was passed. Sutton attributes the deed to hi being drunk at the time. No other explanation was offered. The crime la said to be one of the most atrocious ever committed la this section of the state and feellaf ran high. The confession was kept secret several days, and the publlO did not know that the young mao was to be tried Tuesday. Many Students Study Marketing That University of Nebraska stud ents are interested in the distribu tion of farm products Is shown by the large registration in one of th farm management courses deallnf with this subject. A study is mad of present methods of distributing the goods purchased by the farmer as well as those sold by him. Most of the students are surprised to learn that 85 per cent of the or anges, lemons, and grape fruit Of California are marketed thru coop erative associations; that a largo part of the apples from Colorado and the northwest could not be sold hero except thru cooperation of the grow ers; and that In Nebraska there ar 239 cooperative elevators with 0 capital stock of more than $2,000, 000 handling annually an average business of $38,000,000. Methods of distribution are con sidered much less effective today than methods of production. As dis tributing costs are lessened, author ities on farm managemnet say that consumption will be Increased, thus stimulating production and increas ing our national wealth.
