The beet sugar industry has begun to
eprout in Douglas county. It will probably
grow anil take deep root within the coming
yea The call Issued by the State Boot Sugar as-
eoclatlon for a mooting nt the Omano Board
of Trade rooms yesterday brought together
about llfty prominent businessmen of Omaha
nnd a score or inoro /armors " of Douglas
county to discuss tho"feasnbUlty of organ-
I/ing a county association.
The object of the meeting was to promote
the Industry of sugar boot culture and the
manufacture of the beets Into sugar.
lli-iuly for a KuctoryJ
It Is understood that tbo men and the moans
ore now ready to establish a boot sugar fao-
torv In Omaha If the farmers can bo induced
to false the boots.
Tba meeting was called to order at 10
o'clock bv Secretary Nason who stated tbo
object of tbo gathering and tnon nominated
D. H. Wbcelor as chairman. Mr. Wheeler
r ' was elected chairman and Mr. Paul W. Hor-
3 bach selected secretory.
Prof. H. H. Nicholson of tno State Unl-
verslty and M. A. Lunn of the Boot bugar
Enterprise were present to address the
After some Informal discussion had been
j hoard a committee ot live was appointed on
permanent organization. The following gentlemen -
tlemon wore appointed as members of this
commlitco :
, N.U. Hussoy , li. P.Hodgin. W. It. Boweu ,
C. N. Hendrix and J. C. Gardner.
1 I'rof. NlclioUon'M Talk.
Secretary Nason opened the discussion by
statlug that a special call had boon Issued to
tbo farmers of Douglas county and ho was
glad , to see BO many farmers present.
Ho then Introduced Prof. H. H. Nicholson ,
who preiBntod n carefully written paper
upon the subject ot bcot culture. Ho said bo
hud prepared the address for au audience of
farmers aud although he noticed that there
were men In the audience who were not
farmers yet bo hoped that tboy would all
Und something interesting in what ho had to
suv.
suv.The address was long and exhaustive. It
took up the question of boot culture from a
business standpoint , showing the finan
cial advantage of the enterprise
to a community , and tbon passed to the
question of neil and climate. Prof. Nichol
son snid that the oil ma to and soil of Nebras
ka bad been found to be exceptionally favor
able to the production of the nugnr boot.
Speaking of the yield of the sugar beat
Prof. Nicholson said that a fair average crop
uhould run about fifteen tons to the acre.
The average price paid wa * about tl per ton ,
Ho read figures showing that the total ox-
fjont > o of raising the boots would run from (30
to HO per acre. Selling thn beeu at tiX ) per
aero would leave a profit of $20 to ( JO per
ncro. In additlou to I bis the pith or wf use
twuld bo utilised to good advantage by feed
ing It te cattle.
The gentleman went into tne matter.of
cultivating , showing how the crop was
affected by frequent hoeing and said I'-ial tbo
Ideu that tbo larger tbo boots tbo better was
erroneous. The best boeU are but a llttlo
over a pound lu wolabt ana ( hould grow in
one louf ( , straight stem very deep lute tbo
ground. He ld that the sugar beet was au
easy croii upon the sol ) , it made the soil
better for otUnr crop ) rather than to 1m-
impoverish the ground.
The address was received with very care
ful attention by all present.
Hoiiclit * County licet KuUur.
Mr. A. W , Fullru ! , who UVM four iuUo
west of the city , and who raised n field of
excellent boots last year , was called upon to
soy something upon the subject. Mr. Full-
veld was enthusiastic in recommending to the
farmers present tbo culture of the sugar
boot. Ho raised thirty-six tons on ono acreand
they were pronounced about the best beets
raised In Nebraska. Prof. NIcaolson had
analyzed his beets and found that tboy bore
10 per cent of sugar. . .
The expense of raising his ncro of beets ,
Mr. Fullreid said , was about $10. If ho could
have sold them at $4 per ton ho would have
cleared $100 on the acre. Mr. Fullreid ad
vised the owners of idle land lying close to
Omaha to engage In the sugar beet culture
Instead of trying to soil the land for residence
lots. Ho thought that Omaha would bo the
most advantageous place in Nebraska for the
establishment of a sugar beet factory because
laborers could bo had at the time they were
most needed. Ho thought that a factory
could be run all winter if provision was made
to Btore the baets whore they would keep.
Prof. Nicholson said that this could bo
done , but it would bo more expensive.
Mr. lulling' * Kxuerii-iice ,
Mr. E. C. Erfling of Omaha then addressed
the meeting. He had.seen tbo industry car
ried on in Germany and. was fully
convinced that the industry could bo made
to pay in Douglas county. Mr. Erfltng said
ho had planted sugar beets In Sarpy county
fifteen years ago and had raised good bcol-H ,
but , of course , there was no factory conven
ient to make tbo crop into sugar and ho had
abandoned the enterprise. Ho was earnestly
in favor , though , of pushing ahead with tbo
enterprise bv petting farmers interested in
the work and then proceed with the estab
lishment of a factory.
The convention adjourned at noon to moot
again nt 1:30.

At the afternoon meeting Mr. M. A. Lunn ,
secretary of the State association delivered
an address upon the results of boot sugar
farming In Nebraska during the last two
years and upon the Importance of thorough
oiaimatlon in Douglas and other counties
of the state to encourage tbo farmers to ralso
augur beets.
The address was replete with convincing
arguments In favor of the enterprise. He
said the farmer needed encouragement to
make a start in boot raising. After ttio
farmers had raised ono crop , ho thought ,
there would bo 'no further trouble ex
perienced.
Dr. George L. Miller was called upon and
spolio earnestly for fifteen minutes. Ho
had been very much pleased , ho said , by the
information conveyed In Prof. Nlchollson's
address. Uo thought the experimental atago
of this industry had proved Its practicability ,
and be promised to assist , personally , to pro

The resolution passed at the mooting of the
State Boot Sugar association favoring a state
bounty of ( I a ton to bo paid to the farmers
and half a cent par pound to the manufac
turers was adopted by the convention.
Prof. Niohollson upoko of the absolute ne
cessity of getting the farmers interested in
raising sugar coots. Ho said it would bo
useless to build factories without having an
assurance tnat the boots would bo raised.
Mr. Frank G. Emerson said heknewwbero
the money could be had to build the factory
just as soon as bo could get an assurance
from the fanners that they would raise the
beets.
Mr. James Walsh said the farmers were
ready and willing to grow the beets If some
responsible parties would enter into a con
tract to purchase the beets.
Dr. Miller said the whole question could bo
settled by bringing the capitalists who pro
pose to build the factory and the farmers to
gether.
Mr , J. F. Gardner , who owns a large farm
in Douglas county , snid : "I will contract
right now with any responsible party to
raise and deliver nt a factory in this county
live or ton acres of augur beet- , next fall. "
Mr. Henry Elcko of Waterloo precinct
spoke encouragingly upon the problem. Ho
thought the farmers would bo inclined to on-
gaga In boot culture if they could bo assured
that the beets would bo marketable when
raised.
Joseph Redman suggested that precinct
mooting ; } be called out In the country at
which ire farmers might have an oppor
tunity to discuss the question of boat cul
ture. A resolution instructing the prcolnat
vice prcsldnnts to call such meetings in all
the precincts of Douglas and Sarpy counties
not later than next Saturday was carried.
The convention then adjourned to moot bn
Saturday , February 13 ! , at 10 o'clock in the
Board of Trade rooms. It is hoped that a
large number of farmers will bo present at
the next mooting and that the scheme to
build a factory will tbon assume definite
shape.

him to accept tbo vice presidency nomination
of the republican party In case he ( ( . 'huso )

afterwards. Ho quotes the conversation and
gives tbo reasons for his refusal of both

position taken In tbo controversy over tbo
conduct of the late Admiral Porter at Now

untruthfully and villainously through the
whole transaction ot the capture and. sur

At present many proposed building schemes
with the architects arc In an embryo tic state ,
ana ns it is yet very early in the season they
naturally hosltuto about making their plans
public. Architects , however , assoit tl > at if
ono half of the proposed plans are curried
out , Omaha will see great activity in the
building lino.
Tbero are croackors among the nichltccts
only n few however , and they allege that
but llttlo will bo done in the building line
this year , ns there are already sufllclent busi
ness blosks and residences to meet the in-
crca ed demand for n year. Out careful es
timates made by the men who do thi bulk of
the work indicate that , fully $1,000,000 will bo
invested In building enterprises this year ex
clusive of public buildings.
The architectural linn of Walker St. Kimball -

C. IT. Bcindorff says that the prospects for
a prosperous building season wore never but

It will be one of the largest Hats in tbo
country and will be located near Twenty-

mated cost for the Hat Is 51if > ,000.
ThO Omaha Tlrewinp association will erect
a mammoth brewery at Sherman nvonuo nnd

upon last joar. The buildings will cover
block 4 , in Paddock's place , nnd In order to
do it , the association has patltionod the city
council to vacate nil alloys in the block so
that there will bo plenty of room to build.
Fied Krug will also build u now brewery

The Union Pacific grievance committees
Imvo submitted tboir comnlnmts and de
mands to tbo railroad company , nnd Assist
ant General Manager Dickinson bas them
nndor consideration.
The two committees , one representing conductors -
ductors only ana tbo otlior tbo Order of
' 1'ralumon , bnvo boon holding secret sessions
for a montb past nnd several days ago abroad
upon tbo proposition * to bo submitted to the
rail mail ofliclals. Although representing
two dllTurout onjiuii/ations tbo uninmlltoos
huvo boon working In harmony with ojch
ether , nnd In fact have had joint mooting * to
discuss matters of mutual Interest. This Is
duo partly to the fact that the Order
of Trainmen has many conductors
muting Its members , more , It is assorted , than
the conductors1 order Itself.
Tbo conclusions of the committees wore
laid before Mr. Uickiniou several days ago.
Among the most Important demands Is ono
fora tovlslon of tbo schedule of wage * on
several divisions , and tbo railroad men have'
submitted u now schedule which they ask to
have put into olioct. In the now country
ponotratoil the Union I'aclllo
uy great sys
tem the conditions under which mon labor
chuigo from year to year nnd tbo committees
are asking for u readjustment to correct lii-
eqtialltlci whicm tboy doom to have arisen.
The railroad mon also u < ic for the modlfloa-
lion of some of tbo rules now In force for
their government. On the southern end
of the Denver and Fort Worth divUon-
tbo trninmon complain that they huvo not
been Rotting all tba extra tltno they are
entitled to , nnd they Insist upon having re-
dross. A well known railroad man says thli
shortage may bo due to thonlTorts of a super
intendent desirous of making u record for
oconomv , but bo U Inclined to tninlc It Is the
result or u defective system of ronortltiff and
recording tune.
The trainmen alio have a number of griev
ances concerning individuals or particular
localities.
Both omplovu * nnd oflluials express the
opinion that they will roach a satlsfaoloiy
Battlement of ttosu questions without gorloim
tiouble. Itoili sides are disposed to bo fair ,
ana there U no throat or whisper of a trllo.
It Is thought that questions Involving a
considerable money outlay will bo hold In
uboyunco for the consideration of Uonornl
Manouer Clark , wbo has jiibtreturned toBt.
Loulu frjm tbo transcontinental meeting In
Now York , and is oxpoctoj to roach Omaha
next woo It. Mr. Clark lone uvro bltcmtlcd his
deslro to be relieved of the burden of minor
details , and It Is understood that Mr. DlcUIn
eon has ample authority to pass upon most of
tbo grievances submitted to him. It U bn-
llavftd , therefore , that the work of the com
mittees will bn concluded within the next
weeK , or ton days at the longest , and that the
conductor * and brauoicoa of tbo Union
Pucllla will continue work without InJ.er-
ruptlon and on a more katUfurtory basis
than over before.
