M'fOOK. Neb., Dec. 7 (Special. )-F.ver
since the first season that sugar beets
were planted In the Republican vslley It
hn been the draam of the planters and
business men of this locality that a sugar
factory would eventually be built In Mc-
Oook. Today the prospect seems to be
brighter thnn ever before Henry Cordes.
representing Theodore Hapke of Janes
vllle. Wis., the well known sugar maker
of Wisconsin, has been here the past few
days looking over the ground nnd pros
pects for th location of a lset sugar fac
tory here. He drove through the Irrigated
se. ilon south of this city and, after con
verging with leading business men and su
gar beet planteis, expressed himself as
being pleased with the outlook, and It is
expected soon to have a definite proposi
tion from Mr. Hapke.
The company will expect a site of about
fifty acres and a guarantee that 6,00 acres
of land In this vicinity will be planted to
sugar hcets for a period of five years. On
Its psrt '.he company guarantees a plant
of "0 tons dally capacity and terms, prices
and treatment such as will guarantee them
all the factory can handle In the season.
Soil, climate, length of season, etc.. are
all especially favorable In this locality for
the culture of the sugar beet, and It Is
hoped that the matter will be pushed slong
to a successful conclusion. All sugar beet
raisers and business men, and. In fact,
all interested In the development of south
western Nebraska will naturally put their
shoulders to the wheel and help push along
this good thing.

tially obstructed a view of the track, thut
all was clear. When they were on the
network of crossings a switch engine came
down on them. The horse had cleared the
track, but suddenly became frightened, ran
and 'headed for up the track. The buggy
was caught on a switch stand or post and
the occupants were thrown out, danger
ously near tho trsck upon which the engine
was coming. The horse got fairly In the

walk away without any assistance and re
ceived only a few slight scratches.

at ftlonx Falls,
SIOCX FAL1.8. S. D.. Dee. 7.-(Speelal.)
Preparations have practically been rom
pleted fur the sixth annual convention
of the Retail Implement Dealers' associ
ation of South Dakota, southwestern Min
nesota and northwestern Iowa, which will
convene In Sioux Falls next Tuesday for
a session lasting three days.
Without question the coming conven
tion -will be the most largely attended
ever held by the association. The great
Interest In 'the harvester question, wrhlch 1
is just now agitating dealers all over the
t'nlted States, alone insurea a largely at
tended and lively convention.
The possibility of a bill being Intro
duced at the approaching session of the
state legislature for establishing a binding
twine plant at the Sioux Falls penitentiary
will likely be discussed during the con
vention, and the probable line of action
decided on.
Among the prominent men from outside
the atate who have consented to be present
during the convention for the purpose of
making addresses is R. C. Roper of David
City, Neb., who has Just accepted an
Invitation which was extended to him a
few d;iys ago. While the members of the
association would probably prefer to have
hlm.dlHcoss the harvester question, be will
be accorded the honor of selecting his
own subject. Mr. Roper Is a brother of
the senior member of the ' Roper-Morgan
Hardware company of Parker, S. D.
It la expected that the various manu
facturers will have a vpry fine display
of their goods In Sioux Falls during the
convention.
