It is the opinion of The Chief, that
licensing "gambling joints" in the city

be allowed to fleece unsuspecting part

Tele Chief has been making an ef
fort recently to find out to what extent
a sugar refinery would be appreciated
in Red Cloud, and the general re
sponse has been that it would be an
enterprise that all would appreciate,
and especially the farmers, who would
be glad to grow cane for that purpose,
as it is the best paying as' well as al
was a sure crop in Nebraska. A great
deal'of sugar cane is now raised and
worked up into molasses, but if a su
gar refinery should be established in
Red Cloud every farmer in the county
would aim to raise more or less sor
ghum. Can't there be a decided effort
made to secure a location ot such an
institution here. A similar institution
as wanted here was located a couple
of years ago at Champaign, 111., at a
cost of $10,000, and is one of the best
paying institutions in Champaign
county, and for that matter in the
state. If it is a success there it would
certainly be here. Some firm, or cap
italists, could not invest $10,000 to a
better advantage. The people in Web
ster county arn very anxious to have a
sugar refinery and would no doubt aid
in its establishment.
The New Railroad. Just now there
seems to be a great interest manifested
in the Red Cloud and South-western
railway, not only in Red Cloud but
more especially so in Kansas. Wc' do
not believe that Ave would be injured
materially by the road's advent into
this city, and perhaps might be the
means of building-up some manufact
uring scheme that" is so absolutely ne
cessary to the growth of any import
ant city or town. Red Cloud has so
many advantages over other towns
that it is almost impossible to s(rite
what would be the most advantageous
for her present growth, therefore let
us go ahead with the railroad scheme,
and follow the trail closely with some
other important feature that will hot
only bring us wealth but an increased
population. Some kind of a manufac
turing establishment that would bring
from twenty-five to a hundred men to
Hed Cloud would be a bonanza that
could be appreciated by all of us. In
fact, any kind of a manufacturing es
tablishment, if it only added five or
ten men to our population would be a
big thing, lor, we should all remember
the story about the "little grain of
tand" and the outgrowth thereof.
Brick Yard. We are at last to
have a brick yard. A gentleman by
the name ef Arnold, of Red Cloud,
made our town a visit last Saturday
looking after a location for a brick
yard, and looking the situation over
concluded that this was the best point
in vetern Nebraska. Learning that
one of our contracting firms, Ford &.
Throop, were making arrangments to
put in a yarn, he called on them and
made them an offer to enter into part
nership with them, which was agreed
to, the papers being drawn up at this
office Monday. Mr. Arnold is a gentle
man, and no doubt thoroughly under
stands his business. Mr. Throop is a
first-class bricklayer, and this will en
able the firm to take contracts for both
frame and brick buildings. Tlie yard
will be located on Mr. Ford's farm,
only a short distance north-cast of
town. This will be a big boom for our
town, and no doubt before the close of
j the year, will witness the erection of a
great many oncK omiuings in our
town. Blue Hill Time.
