and the outlook for that country.
They predict a great boom through
the basin when the new railroad con

with success in the western country.

NEW FACTORY
FOR CITY
By
the Commercial Club's
Movement Company
I Started.
WILL BE PLATTSMOUTH
ALFALFA MEAL COMPANY
To Build New Building for Manu
facturing the Great Stock
Food Here.
It looks today like the Plattsmouth
Alfalfa Meal factory is more than a
mere air-castle for the committees ap
pointed by the commercial club got
together yesterday and made definite
arrangements for the forming of the
new concern. It is a busy time for
farmers and not all of the committee
of twenty uppointcd by the club
could be present at the mecti ng which
w as held at the office of J. P. Falter yes
terday afternoon, but those that were
present, combined with the committee
of business men, made an enthusiastic
gathering that could hardly have
been excelled.
The chairman of the meeting was
Julius Pitz and the secretary II. A
Schneider who started the meeting
going with a vim that means an alfalfa
meal factory or bust. All of the men
in the office were greatly in favor
of the enterprise and it was decided
to capitalize the new company at
$25,000, with $15,000 paid up capital.
The shares are to be sold at $101)
each and no stock holder will be al
lowed more than ten shares.
The men mean business all right
and two committees of four men each
were appointed to sell the stock. The
committee to canvass the country
is Juliua Pitz, L. Wiles, Fred Nolting
and A. E. Todd while the city men
arc J. P. Falter, A. L. Tidd, F. E.
Schlater and II. A. Schneider. These
boosters who are trying to help Platts
mouth succeed will conduct an active
campaign to sell the stock and it
doesn't look as though they would
have any trouble in finding buyers.
The first meeting of the stock
holders with the committee will be
held a week from Saturday, the six
teenth, when a few of the temporary
plans may be changed,, but its a sure
thing ihat Plattsmouth will have an
alfalfa meal factory. There are a
number of building sites under con
sideration, the most favorable being
just south of the Burlington shops.
there doesn t seem to be any old
building in town suitable for the com
pany, so it will mean a new building
aa well as a new concern for the city.
It will be necessary to buv the special
machinery for the cutting of the al
falfa, and besides the building itself
they will have to construct a larce
storage barn and molasses tanks.
The product which will be made
is well known among the fanners and
stock raisers, it is a chopped mixture
that gives the stock a green food al,
i nc year rounu. n is used very ex
tensively in this country where the
silos are not as plentiful as they aie
in the east. The cleaned haw afier
being put through the chopper, is
mixed with a heavy molasses and is
then sacked ready for use.
This new industry will mean a big
thing for the city and it is hoped the
enterprise will be pushed throuch
rapidly so the factory will be in oper
ation tor the fall business.

Michigan University Alumni went to
Omaha to dayto attend a big banquet

the court house. So pleased were the
visitors with good commissioners smil
ing face and pleasant disposition, it
was with some difficulty that they
were finally persuaded to leave his
room. They were a man and wife
of an unknown nationality that be
longed to the professional bum bri
gade. The couple were noticed on the
streets this morning, having been put
off of an early Missouri Pacific train.
They attracted considerable attention
among the passers by with their loud
language and Strang actions and
finally when the man tried to go into

sheriff interfered and turned them
over to the chief of police.
The wanderers demanded to see the
mayor, saying they had to have tickets
for Omaha. They were given an
audience with his honor but he turned
them over to the county commissioner.
When they were taken to the com
missioner, they poured forth a tale
of just being out of the hospital in
St. Joseph and not having a cent on
their pel son. They spread out on the
office chairs and assumed their all-in-down-and-out
appearances until the
officer's heart softened, and not caring
for the wall flowers all day, presented
them with the price of tickets for Om
aha. Late this afternoon they were still
wandering around on the streets with
the county's order for seventy-six
cents and two big telescopes.

The Plattsmouth boys have been

STRIKE AT
HAVEL0CK
Boilermakers and Helpers,
185 Strong, Quit Work
This Morning
A EIGHT-HOUR DAY IS NOT
WELCOMED
Probabilities that the Strike May
Spread to the Building Forces
at the New Shop,
The big strike that has been hovel
ing over the Builington shops at
llavelock bioke forth this morning
when 1S5 boiler-makers and helpers
walked out about eight o'clock.
The trouble has been brewing for
some time and the union notified ihc
company if, they did not agree to the
abolition of piece work by last Sat
urday, the men would be ordered out.
Xo answeir was given thei demands
by the railroad and shortly afar the
forces had rung in this moining they
walked out of the shops in a body.
A few days ago the hours of all the
shop men were reduced from ten to
eight per day, and this may jnssibly
have had some effect on their action
today. Following ti e walk out of
the llavelock men, the boilermakers
at the Lincoln shops laid down their
hammers and joined the striking forces.
There are 020 men employed in the
llavelock shops, 320 of whom are
organized. Among the strikers arc
two boiler inspectors and one foreman.
The condition at two o'clock this
afternoon was growing more serious
and there was strong talk of the ma
chinists walking out during the after
noon. The work on the new shop
buildings is still going on but it is
somewhat doubtful whether the build
ing will continue tomorrow. There is
lictle fear of violence this evening and
preparations are being made to pre
vent any disorder.
The shops here will probably not
be affected by the llavelock strike.
NEBRASKA

How They Compare as Told

t
NO PLACE LIKE
ANTELOPE STATE
And Its People are the Salt of the
Earth and Never Get Fresh.
At a recent reunion of Nebraskans
at Long Beach, Cal., cx-Senator Cur
ric was present as a guest, heard the
eulogistic remarks of Californians on
the Pacific coast country and when
perchance called upon for a few ex
temporaneous remarks paid this trib
ute to Nebraska:
"I have listened to much interest
to the story of the hardships which
some of you say you have endured in
Nebraska, to the contrast of Califor
nia's sunshine with Nebraska's bliz
zard's. I, too, have long been a resi
dent of Nebraska and have seen her
in her days of adversity, misfortune
and disaster.
"I have seen her spring, Phoenix
like, from the ashes of her unfortu
nate past into the glories of a felici
tous and prosperous present. While
I would not pluck a single star from
golden southern California, I desire
to say a few words in behalf of the
new Nebraska which the sturdy pio
neers, whom you have left behind,
have buildcd, while you have been
basking in the sunshine of your new
home.
"Nebraska last year produced 205
million bushels of corn, California
1,000,000. Nebraska last year pro
duced 45,000,000 Ibushels of wheat,
California 11,000,000 bushels. Ne
braska hogs brought a larger revenue
to the stato than all the output of all
the gold mines in the United States.
And I want to say with a full know
ledge of the culture and refinement
of California and with this splendid
assembly of well dressed men and
women who have left Nebraska, sit
ing full in my view, that Nebraska is
still a land of fair women and brave
men. Tho census twenty years ago
