Lincoln State Journal Tells f Inter
view With Men Who Visited
Alliance 1-asl Wivk
The Lincoln State Journal, in a re
cent issue, tells of an interesting In
terview with two Capitalist! of that
city who were in Alliance on busi
ness last week, as reported in The
Herald. The article from the Jour
nal reads as follows:
11. K. Sidles and Charles Stuart
are back from a visit to the potash
fields and the center of that industry
in Sheridan county. They are inter
ested in the Western Potash com
pany, recently formed by W. E
Sharp of Lincoln, and think so well
of it that Mr. Btuart will return as
assistant to Mr. Sharp in the build
ing operations that are to be begun
at once. Mr. Sharp, who accompa
nied them, went to Denver to place
orders for boilers and other machin
ery. In company with a Mr. Wedge,
head chemist for the Standard Oil
company, they traveled over the po
tash fieldr. north of Antioch and
Hoffland and verified the tests of a
number of the lakes. They also vis
isted tle potash plants at both towns,
and watched the pumping of the
brine into the plants, its PYapO ra
tion, the extraction of the potash and
its sacking and shipment. They
brought back samples of the brine,
the pebbled potash and also the
snow-like flftkM that can be picked
up the shores of the lakes.
"We were simply astonished at the
based on present prices and the won
derful financial results that are be
ing achieved there. The companies
now in operation are very close

making, but the stories on everv

land of the big clean-ups are told
with so much circumstantial detail
ind are borne out by the admitted
yields of potash that a man dislikes
o talk about this feature of the busi
ness because of ihe poor reputation
for truth he is likely to acqulr.
The output of one of these companies
he day we visited their plant was
valued at $10,000. The other oper-
itlni companies are apparently do
ing as well.
"The great need of potash bas ln-
luced the government to give pre
ference orders for the necissary
coal, whirh is brought in from Wyo
ming, and for the cars necessary to
carry out the product. It is also giv
ing the same encouragement to the
companies that arecabout to build
there. At present there are two
plains in operation at Antioch, with
a third one already pumping into its
reservoir, in order o have a supply
on hand if freezing weather inter
feres. The western plant will be
built at Antioch also. There are
two other companies, the Standard
and the National, one of which will
build at Antioch and the other at
Lakeside, where the Hords operate
a plant now. In all about ten plants
will be in operation next year, from
present indications. There is also
the original one at Hoffland.
"Out in the country is a man who
owns a lake and who has invested
$.r.,000 in a small plant. He gathers
his potash, puts it through the su
per-heating process of evaporation
by building fires under pans and
when he gets a load takes it to town
and sells It. With the exception of
the Hoffland company, which has a
filing on Jesse lake, out of which it
has pumped something like four mil
lions of potash, and the Western,
which has bought its lake outright,
with one exception, all the others
have leases on lake on a royalty
basis. Lands that were good only
for cattle raising and of low value
but which have potash lakes on them
are making their owners rich.
"One thing that struck us was the
lack of economy In the operation of
the plants, due, of course, to the fact.
that the profit is so big that cost
doesn't interest the owners, who are
oo busy to think up efficiency meth
ods. The opinion of those who
would talk about the proposition is
that there are only two things to be
afraid of in the industry. One is
that thecoming of peace may loose
German competition upon the coun
try, and that means a big lowering
in prices and possible closing up,
and the other is that the government
may fix the returns. There seems to
be so much potash in sight and lo
cated that the exhaustion of the sup
ply does not seem to worry them
any.

When Dewey was in command of ;
our fleet in Manila bay it will be re
membered that a Ucrman admiral,
von Dedrich. tried to make trouble
for him. That was the first lntima- j
turn the peopl eof this country had
had that the kaiser and his military ,
advisers were lotting against the
peace and welfare of this nation.
Here is a bit of interesting history
Which throws some light on the pur
poses of Germany and which every
loyal American ought to know. One
of the representatives of the German
navy and of the Gorman government,
a guest of our government as mili
tary observed for his own govern
ment was Admiral von Goetz. I do
not know he! her Admiral Von Goetz
had too many drinks under his belt
or why he was so indiscreet as to
boast of what his government had in
mind, but here is the official record
of what he said in 1898:
About fifteen years from now
my country will start her great
war. She will be in Paris about
two months after the commence
ment of hostilities. Her move
on Paris will be but a step to
her real object the crushing of

and probably Washington, and
hold them for some time. We

many. "We do not propose to
take any of your territory (?)
but we do intend to take a bil
lion or so of your dollars from j
New York and other places.
The Monroe Doctrine will be
taken chargeof by us, as we will
then have to put you in your
place, and we will take chargo
of South America, as far as we
wish to Don't for
get this, and about fifteen years j
from now remember it and it
will interest you. ' (Naval and
Military Record, No. 33. Vol.
141, p. 578.
I want you to observe that the
foregoing Is not mere newspaper
rumor. It is tbeofflctal record pro
vided by Admiral Dewey. It may
naturally be asked, why was this
never made public by our govern
ment? I do not know, but I presume
that our government did not feel that
it would be wise to quote the lan-
uage of a German officer which
might stir up trouble between this
government and that of Germany.
It may be, also, that at that time our
government regarded the language
as the mere empty boasting of a half
drunken German officer and not
worth serious attention. However,
Admiral Dewey considered the lan
guage of von Goeti of sufficient im
portance to report it to our govern
ment. Sead in the light of what we know
now we can see that the German ad
miral knew the plans of his govern
ment nineteen years ago. He missed
the time of starting the war by only
one year. That is easily explained.
In 1913 the kaiser was not satisfied
that the opportune time had come
and so he waited until 1914 when he
deemed the time ripe. The assassi
nation of the Austrian grand duke
and heir apparent provided the pretext.
liaise More Pig
E'ghteen farmers and agricultural
workers have received appointments
as special workers in the pork cam
paign which has Just been started In
Nebraska. Each one of these repre
sentatives will have a section of the
state to look after.
In case the number of breeding
hogs is not increased this winter, an
acute shortage of pork products is
sure to result next spring. Ne
braska's quota has been set at n 20
per cent increase over last year.
With the government backing
them, through emergency legislation
as It never has before, farmers never
have had greater assurance that
their efforts would be Justly com
pensated. The food administration
has said that, until further notice,
prices, so far as It can Influence
them, will not go below the mini
mum of about $15. HO a hundred, for
the average of the packers' droves on
the Chicago market. Furthermore.
It has said as to hogs farrowed next
spring: "We will try to stabilize the
price so that the farmer can count on
getting for each 100 pounds of hogs
ready for market thirteen times the
average cost per bushel of the corn
fed into the hogs." Experience bus
shown, specialists of the department
of agriculture Bay, that this ratio of
13 to 1 is liberal, and that it should
stimulate hog breeding now. The
Nebraska College of Agriculture,
with Increased forces, also stands
ready to aid farmers In any way It
can.
