HOLT’S
greatest industry.
That is what the Rawing of ChiotHy is Deo
tined to Become—A General Review
of the Question -What
is Chicory?
Till-FiiONTiEU bus lit all times contended
il 'it O’Neill possessed tho necessary quail
in'' ■uni her citizens the necessary energy
recognized as essential requirements
i 'itu‘ building up of a metropolitan city. We
' a always said und still say that the lndus
manufacturing establishments that
liuvo all worked and wished for would
r',„„c in time, and that as tho country dovel
more fully industries of various kinds
‘,11,1 spring up. The time 1ms come when
Wire about to realize, as the speculator
‘,,1 „ay. and along with the agitation of
I,,, irrigation iiuestion, tho Interest manl
frslcd in the beet sugar Industry, tho pro
)S„,I cstiihllshmentof aKeeley institute and
other enterprises. The Fbontieb lias some
very substantial in the way of an In
dustry to bring before Its readers this week.
Th(.' iiazelmon-1 lazelet Chicory company
Ins been organized. The partnership con
tract has been signed and placed on fllo in
tlic clerk's office, and Messrs. Hazel man and
tlazelc! announce that they will soon he
ready to talk business to the farmers of Holt
rounty. Their plan is to entqr Into a oon
tract with a number of fanners, as many in
f ict as wish to engage In tho business, to
raise a l'uw acres of cliico ry this year, and if
successful in cultivating the crop to go into
tin. business upon a larger scale next season.
The company will put up the necessary
buildings for drying, broWnSng and manufae"
luring the chicory for table use, and The
Kno.NTiuit is prepared to say positively that
there is enough capital behind the company'
lo insure success. They will furnish tlio
'red, which has to he imported from Belgium
ami Mr. llazelman. who thoroughly under
.1,1,uls the cultivation ot the plant, will In
struct those who enter into the work -
This is no experiment, as Mr. llazelman
raised live acres of chicory last year, and the
cron went eleven tons to the acre, ihe aver
R price of chicory is SO per ton and our
farmer readers will readily see where the
profit comes in. The plant can be cultivated
with a common corn cultivator and is easily
handled and gathered. _
The contract which the company will enter
into provides for the payment of a certain
nrice for the chicory delivered at their ware
house in O’Neill upon a certain date. Ihe
contract will be published in full next wees
and those interested will know just how to
proceed.
WIIAT IS CniCORY?
Since the agitation of this question uegant
the inquiry lias often been made. What is
chicory V The best definition we have at hand
istiiut chicory is a perennial plant found
wild in England and most parts of Europe.
It lias a long, carrot-like root, externally of
a dirty or brownish yellow color, and white
within. It. is used as a substitute for coit'ee,
or to mix wit h coffee, and is dried and ground
the same as coffee, it has been used in the
old country fur at least a century.
TIIE RAISING OF CHICORY.
Tito raising:of chicory does not require the
outlay of but a small amount of money, and
in fact scarcely any outlay for the first yearf
as the company will furnish tiie seed ana
wait for their pay until the crop is delivered*
and if there should be a partial failure in the
nop the raiser will not be out of pocket, and
will have gained a knowledge of tne business
and be prepared to enter into it successfully
hi years to come. Rut there is scarcely a pos
sibility of failure, as chicory will grow and
thrive where other plants would die.
Any farmer can easily raise from five to
ten acres of chicory, amt the labor necessary
to p.oduce it would not hi any manner inter
fere with his other work.
A GREAT INDUSTRY.
The Frontier believes that the raising and
manufacture of chicory is dest ined to become
“Re of the greatest industries the United
States has ever known. Some may laugh at
this assertion and the chronic kicker may
*!ty that we arc talking through our hat, but
nevertheless the people of the United States
buy from foreign countries about 9S.UU0,iHj0
worth of chicory every year. WhyV Because
it is cheaper than coffee and when tiie proper
'•fixture is made it suits the taste just as
well.
A REMARKABLE SAVING,
fhe price of good Mocha and Java coffee is
^ cents per pound; three pounds* $1.05. In
stead. buy two pounds of coffee,70 cents; buy
0,10Pound of chicory, about Scents; total, 73
cents; saving on three pounds, 27 cents. Just

MOKE INFORMATION TO FOLLOW.
Mr. Hazelet has received a letter from Sen
ator Paddock and that gentleman says that
It Is bound to become a great Industry, and
he Is pleased to see the farmers of the west
taking up the matter.
Tpa Frontier will present further Infor
mation upon this subject us the weeks go by.
and anyone wliodesire.s can Interview cither
or the gentlemen who form the company and
they will be pleased to furnish any informa
tion at hand upon the subject.
E. W. Howe of the Atchison Globe
says: “You have the public schools
toasted a great deal, but we will agree
to take an ordinary boy of twelve and
educate him better in business houses,
while earning wages, than the public
schools can do. In the first place we
would put him in a printing office and
teach him to set type, which would
giva him an excellent knowledge of
spelling, punctuation, capitalization and
general information. Then wc would
put him in a railroad ticket office where
he would learn geography, math unities
and bookkeeping and how to talk, to
men. Give him five changes of thin
kind, and at the end of five years he
would know more in a minute than a
high school graduate will know in a
month.”
Mr. Moses Campbell has purchased
of his brother, Frank, his large imple
ment establishment and will conduct I
. the business alone hereafter. Mose is a
steady young man and will always be
found at his post of duty. His knowl
edge of the implement business, gained
by several years' connection with his
brother’s establishment, will insure to
him a successful business career. The
Fkontie wishes him success. We are
not informed as to what business Mr.
Frank Campbell will engage in. but
understand he will remain in O’Neill,
a fact we are pleased to announce, as
Mr. Campbell is a first class citizen and
would be missed in O’Neill.
It is rather amusing to note the cha
grin and apparent wrath of the Hun ana
Item over the action of the clerk of the
district court in disposing of the pal
tonage of his oflice, and quite singular,
too, that they should each have a "chap
ter” in preparation to inflict upon the
public. But great minds run in the
same channel, you know. The action
of Mr. Skirving was legitimate and
proper and all that hurts the aforsaid
papers is the fact that their interests
were not consulted.
Wahoo Wasp-. The Swift Packing
company, of Couth Omaha, have a
force of about 200 men at work cutting
ice at Ashland. They are getting about
forty cars daily. The ice is said to be
over twelve inches thick. Monday
morning shortly after the force went to
work, a man named Deuel, living near
the iakc, lost his balance and fell from
one of the run-ways a distance of sixty
feet, lighting on a pile of refuse ice,
I breaking his back, right leg and left
arm.
Chadron Journal-. The Northwest
Nebraska Sugur Beet association was
perfected by west Dawes and east Sioux
county farmers last Saturday at Craw
ford. S. M. B. Stuart was elected pres
ident. Hesolutions were adopted ask
ing the slate legislature to give the
growers of sugar beets $1.50 per ton
bounty on all beets grown during five
years.
Mrs. C. K. Butler returned Inst Fri
day niglit from California, where she
lias been for several weeks past visiting
parents and relatives. Mrs. Butler was
very much taken up with the section of
the Golden state which she visited,—
being near Oakland. She brought hack
some excellent samples of California
fruit. Mr. Butler met her at Fremont.
The following is the strictest of
truth condensed in a few words: “The
constant drop of water wears away the
hardest stone: the 'constant gnaw of
Towser masticates the toughest bone;
the constant cooing lover carries oil the
blushing maid, and the constant adver
tiser is the one that gets the trade.”
Attorney Burbank, who has lately
shied his shingle into the Boyd county
arena, at Butte, was an O’Neill visitor
Monday. Frank has cultivated an ele
gant crop of whiskers since moving to
Boyd county, which bid fair to outshine
those worn by Banker Sample.
A reception was given at the resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. Barrett Scott by
the members of the Kebekah lodge,
complimentary to Mrs. Scott and Mrs.
C. E. Butler, who have just returned
after an extended visit in California.
Miss Laura Meals, who for several
months last year was employed in The
Fkontiek oiHce, is back again this week
helping the force out during a rush of
work. ___
Dell Akin was down from Atkinson
Monday. The Fuoxtiek is pleased to
note that Dell has entirely recovered
from the injuries spstatned by his re
cent battle with a bucking bronco.

Hiram and Susan Burritt, to Jackson
county, Mich., in 1880, was converted
and joined the Methodist Episcopal
church at the age of 13 years. At once
she became a teacher in the Sunday
school and an efficient worker in the
church. At the end of her school life
at Albion college married Bartley Blaine

Will Seoure a Bonanza.
From the Chambers Bugle.
The indications are that Chambers
will hare a railroad early next season.
There will be nothing wonderful
in that when we take into
account the fact that the town
is beautifully located on an elevation,
overlooking one of the finest agricul
tural and grazing countries in north
Nebraska and is the centre of trade for
a largo extent of country. The rail
road company that first captures this
territory will secure a bonanza. The
people in all parts of the country art^
ready to lend all reasonable assistance.
The traffic in hay, cattle, hogs and pro
ducc would be immense.

O’Neill’s (ire chief, T. Y. Golden, rep
resented the home department at the
state session in Fremont last week, and
judging from the number of committee!
of which he is a member, we feel saf<
in saying that O’Neill was handsomely
recognized and decidedly well repre
sented. Mr. Golden is a member of the
board of control, which is in reality an
executive committee, and he is also c
member of a very important committet
appointed to prepare a bill to present U
the next legislature, the object of whirl
will be of especial interest to property
owners.,. The bill will provide for thi
taxing of insurance companies to aid it
the support of fire departments.
Rev. Bates, the Episcopal minister,
was listened to by a fair sized audienci
at the Preseyterian church last Sunday
evening. He returned to Valentine,
where he makes his headquarters. The
reverend gentleman travels quite ex
tensively, covering between seven ant
eight hundred miles every month, ant
expounds the gospel at thirteen dif
ferent points in Nebraska. He will bi
in O’Neill again on Sunday’, February 21
and will preach at the Presbyteriai
church in the evening.
The Chambers people want a physi

that a lucrative practice awaits thi
right kind of a man.

Nebraska Will Celebrate Her Silver
. < Anniversary Nest May.
IRRIGATION AND BEET CULTURE
The Beotts Bluffs County Irrigation Ditches
and Beet Sugar Mooting to Give tho In
dustry a Now Impotus.-Gothen
burg’s' Water Power.
From tho State Journal.
The committee on the silver anniver
sary of the state of Nebraska held an
other enthusiastic mooting last evening
in the office of C. A. Atkinson, In the
Montgomery block. An exchange of
views on the best date for the proposed
celebration developed a substantial un
nnitnitv of opinion on the desirability of
holding it in the early summer, and
Wednesday and Thursday, the 25th and
20th of May, wero finally settled upon
for the exercises, the 25th, it is thought,
to be largely devoted to the literary pro
gramme. while the 20th will be given
over to parades and othor public demon
strations of tho progress and strength
of the commonwealth.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Gillilan, Griffin and Butler was appointed
to interview the city government and
ascertain what assistance would be ex
pected from that source. Tho commit
tees appointed at the last meeting to
perform vurious duties were instructed
to proceed with their dutie» without
[delay. So much, iutercst in the project
[ had been expressed, not only in the city,
but in every part of the state, that it
was felt desirable to proceed rapidly iu
order that the greatest demonstration
ever seen inNebraska might be arranged.
Every committeeman felt that this could
be done and substantial progress was
made toward that end last evening.
Tho next session will be heid on call of
the chairman.
The Irrigation Industry.
The following from the State Journal
concerning the irrigation *in Scotts
Bluff couutv will be of interest to our
readers, no doubt, hence we reproduce
it:
The first deed ever given to an irriga
tiou company in the history of Nebraska
was issued yesterday by Land Comrnis
sicner Humphrey to the Mitchell Canal
and Irrigation company of Scotts Bluff
county. The deed in itself is a modest
affair, conveying title to right of way
amounting to about nineteen acres of
land, which at the lowest legal apprais
ment of $7 per acre means $132.23 for
the state.
The Mitchell company has an irriga
tion canal fifty miles in length which has
been in active operation for two years.
Last year it was patronized extensively
and excellent crops are reported all
along the canal. It occupies u right of
way 100 feet wide and passes through
three or four sections of state school
laud. The issuing of a deed to this land
by the state means the opening of an
indnstry which will not only prove a
source of revenue to the state but also
signifies the advance of irrigation in
western Nebraska. Along list of simi
lar companies have headquarters in
Scotts Bluff county and are at present
extending their ditches. Among them
may be mentioned the Farmers' Canal
company,Winters Creek Ditch company,
Enterprise Ditch • company. Minaturt
Canal company, Ilayurd Canal com
pany, Castle liock Ditch company,
Laramie and Scotts Bluff Canal com
pany and the Mutual Ditch company
Failing to get a bill through the Iasi
legisicture all the companies must nec
essarilv conform to the old and imper
feet law.
, Beet Sugar Stepping Forward.
The following account of a meeting
of the executive Committee of the Neb
raska beet sugar association we taki
from the daily press: The executivi
committee of the Nebraska beet sugai
association, met in the parlors of tin
Hotel Lincoln yesterday afternoon fo
the purpose of adopting measures look
ing to the developement of the bee
sugar industry iu Nebraska. The mem
! bers of the committee present were 0. A
Atkinson, vice president of the state as
sociation; Secretary W. N. Nason, o
Omaha, C. E. Adams of Superior, A.M
Lunn and H. C. McArthur of Lincoln.
C. A.Atkinson presided at the meetini
• in the absence of lion. George D. Meik
lejohn, chairman of the committee. 1
1 was the sense of the committee ilia
the subject of beet sugar culture was on
of such unusual importance to the pcopl
of Nebraska that organizations should b
formed in every county in thestqtefo
: the single purpose pf promoting the in
. dustry and dissemination of informatioi
in relation to it. The committee \va
unanimous in the opinion that if th
| great corn producing belt of Nebrask
would be valued at $100 per acre in tei
' years, the culture of sugar beets woult
i enhance the value of land to double tha
amount. After the subject of beet cul
turo had lioen thoroughly discussed
Messrs. Atkinson,Nason and Lunn wore
appointed a committee to formulate
plans and rccomendations for the organ
ization of associations in each county to
be known as boot sugar associations,
which nre to be subordinate to the stale
associations and work in harmony with
it. A rcsolutloti wa3 ndopted authoriz
ing Secrutar yNason to uccrtnin from tli e
different railroad companies what their
schedule of freiirht rates for the ship
ment of sugnr beets to the factories at
Urnnd Island and Norfolk would bo for
distances of not moro than 300 miles.
It whs the sense of tho committee that
the industry would be greatly stimulated
if the railroads would make a special
freight schedule for tho shipment of
beets. Tho Meet Sugnr KnUrprine of
this city, edited by Mr. A. M. Lunu,
was made the official organ of the asso
ciation. The committee adjourned to
meet again at the call of the president or
secretary.
Those Eastern Capitalists.
A special train canying a number of
eastern manufacturers and capitalists,
went out on the U. P. last wcok to see
their water power. D. L. Durr of the
Holt County Bank was wired to meet
them at Fremont and taka the trip,
which ho did, and reports n most enjoy
able time. Mr. Darr also snys that they
have a magnillcent water power at
Gothenburg, but that he thinks we can
secure as good a one here and intimated
that some of these eastern gentlemen
might possibly be Induced to aid in the
construction of one. As a further evi
dence that these gentlemen are interested
in this state we clip from the Lincoln
Journal of last Saturday:
"Governor Thayer returned yesterday
from Omalm. At that place he joined
the excursion of eastern capitalists und
manufacturers who came west to inves
tigate Gothenburg's wat£r power. Gov
ernor Thayer accompanied the party to
its destination und the return trip to
Omaha. He stated that the members of
the party were exceeding well pleased
with Nebraska and some will undoubt
edly return and establish factories of
various kinds. Among the visitors were
Boston manufacturers who are at pres
ent unable to compete with Chicago
houses for western business. To do this
successfully they propose to locate
branch houses in the west and thus wipe
out the item of transportation.”
