Enthusiastic Meeting of Growers Held
at Hershey Saturday nnd I)e.
elsion aimle to (Jive Western
Co. l'nrt of Territory.
The (Jreat Western Sugar Company,
the owner of thirteen sugar factories
In Colorado, Montana and Nebraska,
haB become interested in tho Lincoln
-county beet growing district;, 1111
contract for beets this season, has
located a Hold agent at Hershey nnd
with tho possible view of orecting a
factory at some future time has takon
option on Ave different tracts of land
near tho village of Hershey.
Those developments took form Sal-,
urdny at a very enthusiastic and large
ly attended meeting of beet growers
at Hershey, at -which several North
Platte business men woro in attend
ance. This meeting was hold through
tho efforts of tho Platto Valley Beet
Growers' Association, n organiza
tion though but recently formed has
ehown commendable energy In its
move toward securing tho location of
a sugar factory. . Tho Tribune
which for fifteen years has united with
others in working for a factory con
siders that tho prospects for securing
ono for the valley is now ten-fold
-greater than at any previous time, and
if the farmers of tho beet growing sec
tion becomo sufficiently interested in
beet culture as to Insure the required
acreage there is absolutely no ques
tion but that a factory will bo erected
in the Hershey district in 1919. Dut
whether this factory is built depends
upon tho farmers. It is absolutely up
to them to furnish tho acreage but if
the enthusiasm at tho Saturday meet
ing permeates the entire district, that
acreage twill be forthcoming.
Present at the Hershey meeting
woro Manager Denman, of the Grand
Island factory, to which the Lincoln
county beets for a dozen or more
years have been shipped, and Manager
Simmons of Scotts Bluff, who has su
pervision of tho factories at Goring
and Scotts Bluff and will also bo in
charge of the one to bo erected at
Bayard this year. Manager Denman
was first called upon and briefly stat
ed that tho output of the Lincoln
county territory was greatejr jthan
tho Grand Island factory could take
care of In conjunction with tho terri
tory east of North Platte, and that he
had no objection to, in fact advised,
a division of tho Lincoln county beet
territory. He sugegsted that tho ter-;
ritory bo divided on a north and south
lino two miles west of Hershey; that
all beets grown east of that line be
Bhipped to Grand Island, and all
grown west to Scotts Bluff.
Manager Simmons then addressed
tho meeting at some length and ans
WTed many questions asked. Ho
stated that the division of territory

as suggested by Manager Donmnn was
satisfactory to tho Great Western Co.;
that under tho system of bonuses of

factory; thnt If a sufficient acreage
of beets aro grown and tho required
conditions are found to be satisfac
tory, his company would oroct a fac

a factory options had boon taken on
flvo tracts of land as a site. Ho pre
sented tho Groat Wostorn contracts,

signed tho acreage contracts.

Paving Case Decided.
Tho Nebraska supreme court has
handed down a decision In tho Kearney,
paving case upholding the. constltu-1
tionality of tho law. This is ctnlnly
good news for Gerald Stack, tho con-'
tractor for tho North Platto paving,
for it means that the bonds-issued for'
tho paving can now bo sold and that'
ho uill receive his money ninety- i
Ave thousand dollars. Pending tho j
outcomo of tills case in the supremo
court, a buyer for ,tlie North Platte
bonds could not be found, and as a 're- j
suit Contractor Stack has 'not re-1
coived his monoy, although his con
tract has been completed.

Aiifl-Iinllroad Feeling.
Thore appears to bo an. antl rail
road feeling around tho legislature
and it is evident that the corpora
tions will faro badly at the hands of
tho members if some of tho sentiments
expressed aro to bo carried out whrfrj
tho laws aro made. The car short-.
ago is probably responsible for tho
sentiment, though there are qulto a
number of members, as usual, who
can see nothing good In. the corpora

every opportunity.
