L'ciltlon for Stntc Aid Jtoad.
Residents of Brady and those liv
ing north of that town presented a
petition to the county commissioners
yesterday asking that tho road leading
from Brady, to Arnold be declarded a
state aid road. This is a road upon
which there is said to be much travel,
and would furnish the people of tho
Arnold section with a better outlet to
the Union Pacific:
J. It. White, of Sutherland, wh6 was
in town yestorday, said that beet
glowers in Lincoln county wore
standing firm In their demand for
higher prices, and that not a singlp
acre will bo contracted by tho growers
unless their demands aro acceded to
by tho sugar companies. A few grow
ers around Sarben, who had made
contracts before tho Lincoln1 and
Keith counties' association was form
ed, havo notiilcd the, company of their
intention to cancel tho contracts.
Tho demand of tho growors is for a
minimum price and -a sliding scale
based on sugar prices at tho eastorn
seaboard; or they will sign up acreage
contracts with the price blank and al
low tho federal government to mini a
tho price.
Tho conditions which prevail In
Lincoln county aro the same in the
Scotts Bluff country and In Colorndo
If tho sugar companies do not com
ply with the demands no bcots will bo
grown.
While tho companies have so far re
fused to consider the demands inado
by tho growors, and have offered no
substitute agreements it Is expected
that some move by tho companies will
be mado within the noxt week. Fur
ther delay cannot bo taken, as the
acreage must bo secured soon and ar
rangements made for the field labor-
