to make bis promise good.
Beceot experimeats go to slw that
tobacco caa be grown in Nebraska and
thus another industry will be added to
the resources of the state. The possibili
ties of Nebraska are just beginning to be
teamed. What the future has in store
lor the state cannot even be guessed at.
The democratic organs will now have
a chance to rest from the worry on ac-
oont of the condition of Blaine's health
for that gentleman in a letter to Chair
man Clarkson, of the republican com
aiittee, bearing date of Feb. 6th states
that be is not a candidate Tor the presi
dency. His letter la snort and rives no
reason, simply announcing the fact that
be is not a candidate, but that be will do
earnest work in the coming campaign.
One of the moet attractive of the short
stories recently published appears under
the title, "Toe Belles of Spruceluod," in
the February Doable Number of The
Youth's Companion. It describes with
uncommon fidelity a party arranged by
two girls. The guests were the okl la
shes of tiie village, belles of fifty years
ajro, and their chief entertainment was a
serenade by the old filer and drummers
of their youthful days. In such a story
young and oM meet on a common
ground of interest and respond to the
toOeb of true sentiment felt by all ages.
Nothing better couM be read aloud to a
family circle.

The meeting at tlie court house on last
Saturday was not larj,-ely attended on
account of the stormy condition of tbe
weather, but, nevertheless, a number of
representative farmers were on hand to
learn all they could in regard to tlie cost
certainty aod profits of growing sugar
beets. The fact is becoming pretty well
established that sugar beet culture is the
coming industry of northwest Nebraska
ami that the growing of beets is going to
prove the most profitable crop the far
mers can raise and the only point to set
tle is the securing of factories to work
the product up into sugar and the wean
ing of the farmers from tlie idea that it
is necessary to raise an immense acreage
in order to realize a profit It is ad
mitted by all that northwest Nebraska
is the best adapted to the culture of
sugar beets of any locality in the United
States, and of that portion of tlie state
Sioux county has advantages over any
other county or locality.
The introduction of Uie sugar beet in
dustry with the settlement of tbe county
will make it a great deal easier than to
change the line of crop after the county
is settled. With the improved machin
ery that has been devised Uie growing of
sugar beets is relieved of a great deal of
Um hard lund work which tended to
make it unpopular in Um past and Uie
machinery is not expensive, enabling a
fanner to go into Um beet culture with
out a heavy owttay for tools. . Tbe exact
east of the tools will be known in the
near future and Um farmers will know
just exactly how they ran make their
plans.
The contracts sought to be obtained by
the people of Chadron are simple, pterin
and fair, all that is asawf is that tbe far
mers agree to raise a certain number of
seres of beets at a scale of prices not less
than that paid at Grand Island and Nor
folk. If Uie farmers of tlnrte localities
can afford to raise sugar beets on the
high priced land that is tliere, the farm
ers of northwest Nebraska certainly
ought to be able to raise beets at a good
profit.
Tlie parties in tfctrge will get tlie best
railroad rates possible, not only on Uie
Elkliorn but also on tbe B. & M. so that
peopla in Um north and east part of this
county may have &t opportunity of en
gaging in beet growing.
Tlie people of Cliadron aft entitled to
credit for the zeal and energy with which
they liave taken trtffd of Uiis matter and
! lie people of this locality should unite
with them and help tlie good work along.
ft will increase the value of every bit of
mil estate in tlie cotrntv if the mimr in
dustry is once estahii sU in the north
west and Sioux county will yet become
one of the best wealUi producing and
prosperous counties in Um state.

One Nebraska oirresrxiodent tells the
editor of The Snaar tUt that there is
srood Drofit in erowinff beets for Um Ox-
oard tactory, even if tlie value of the
land on wliich tliey are grown is esti
mated at $1,000 per acre. Another cor
resnoDdent writes that 5,000 acres will
be needed to supply the demand for beets
at the Norfork factory, and another 5,000
for the Orand Island factary. "Real es
tate in and about Norfolk," lie says, "lias

Tliere is some talk of an extra session
of tlie legislature being called by Gov.
ttovd. Tliere are some things that call
for legislative action but the wisdom of
a special session is vary questionable.
As constituted there are grave doubts
about that body taking any action that
would result in good to tlie masses. It
would necessitate special elections in a
number or districts and would causa a
great deal of expense and consequent un
settled condition of business and Uie sea
son could hardly' be called and closed
before the regular session would convene
so that but little time would be gained in
any event.
