The Omaha Boo of today contains the following news concerning the exten sion of the F. , E. & M. V. through Nlo- braraaud west : "General Manager Bidwell of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad has just returned from the scone ot that road's Verdigro extension with the unexpected information that the now line is permanently located from Vordigro seventy miles to the north aud west , the present terminus tapping the portion of the Rosebud reservation that the government con templates opening to settlers very shortly. All the plans have the ap proval of President Hughitt of the Northwestern system. "This ends the surveying portion of the job at present , as it is not intended to carry the line further just now. Con struction of the liuo is the next thing and work will begin at once. "An important feature of the matter is that the fight made by the town of Butte , county seat of Boyd county , for the road has boon given its quietus. The place is situated on a high spot of ground , 200 foot above Ponca creek bottom , which the road follows , and it was impracticable to go through the town. The line runs about a mile and three-quarters to the north and a quarter of a mile to the east. "To Lynch permanent location had already been made through Niobrara and then west across the Niobrara river. The now portion established runs from Lynch to Spencer , then to this point near Butte , where it turns directly north and runs to Fairfax , Gregory county , S. D. This will bo the terminus of the construction at present , but the Jlmo has been surveyed from Fairfax seven miles aud a half west to the reservation line , so that everything is in readiness for Immediate building there as well. ' "Wo shall get to work on construc tion within a few weeks , ' said Mr. Bid- well. 'Winston Brothers of Minneapo lis have the contract. I completed the arrangements Saturday night last. By September 15 next wo will have trains running on the new line. " ' " Except for a mile of the road just west of Niobrara the entire thing will be of easy constinotion and low cost. That ono mile Is through heavy rock , and there wo will begin work first of all. Sixty-pound steel rails will bo laid. The entire right of way is secured. Most of it was donated by farmers through whose lands wo pass. " ' Letter 1.1 ( it. List of letters remaining uncalled for at the postoftlco January 13 , 1902 : Miss Millie Albreoht , Grant E.

Yea , August Flower still has the larg est sale of any medicine iu the civilized world. Your mothers and your grand mothers never thought of using any thing else for Indigestion or biliousness. Doctors wore scarce , and they seldom hoard of appeudlcltlsuervons prostration or heart failure , eto. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food , regu late the action of the liver , stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system , and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower , in liquid form , to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. Got Green's Prize almauao. Asa K. Leonard.

Manager Bundlck Is Pleased that the War with the Sugar Trust Does Not Result in Closing the Norfolk Fac tory. l-'roni Tliurwliy'H Daily Manager Buiidick of the Norfolk beet tigar factory received instructions by wire last evening to issue boot contracts , offering the same price aud using prac tically the same form as last season. The wording of the contract is to bo identical with that of last year with the exception of a proviso that iu case of fire or other accident to the factory , if the company is compelled to take ad vantage of the clause allowing the payment of $15 an aero for boots , the company is to pay the $15 aud the grower mav retain the crop. This is an advantage to the grower , as ho retains the crop besides receiving $15 an acre for itin case the factory is incapacitated for using the beets through fire or ac cident. To say that Manager Bundick was delighted - lighted when ho received orders to have contracts prepared , expresses it very mildly. Usually the blanks have been ready for signature in October or No vember , and the long delay In the issu ance of the contracts had led him to fear that theatened congressional action would prevent the company from mak ing them until the question of duty on raw imported sugar from Cuba ifl finally settled in Washington , which might bo RO late that it would bo impossible to se cure sufficient tonnage to warrant the operation of the factory this year. He now admits that he was more fearful of that result of the warfare which the sugar trust has been waging against the beet sugar industry than ho has at any time stated. The order , howover.shows that the American Beet Sugar company is still in the fight aud that it will re main In the game at least another year. The manner in which Manager Bun dick moved upon receipt of the telegram is significant of his style of doing busi ness. The message wa telephoned to him at his residence about 7:30 : last eveulng.andby 8 o'clock ho had printers at work placing the form of contract in type. With decided force he empha sized the fact that it was a "rush job , " aud his energy succeeded in sidetrack ing everything else in the printing of fice. Proof was ready for him by morning , and very shortly his agents will bo ready to talk to farmers concern ing the crop of 1902. As before stated the prices for beets remain the same as they were last year , as follows : All beets containing 14 per cent of sugar or less , $4 per ton , and an additional 25 cents per ton for each and every one per cent of sugar above 14 per contractions in proportion. An addi tional sum of 20 cents per ton will be paid for boots siloed when delivered at the factory after November 15. This has been conceded to bo the best con tract for the farmer that has ever heeu issued by the Norfolk factory. With these prices prevailing last year , the whole crop delivered at the factory aver aged something over $4.50 per tonwhile many of the growers received $5 per ton and more. These prices made big profits for farmers , and there are very few who raised beets last year that are not now ready to contract an increased acreage for tbo coming season. As it is already late to undertake .to handle all the contracts that will bo needed , business men who are vitally Interested in the success of the beet sugar industry could lend a little assist ance to the management at no incon- vienonce to themselves , but In a way that would prove beneficial and helpful. It should bo the aim of every business man in Norfolk , as well as the manage ment , to see that the largest acreage of beets is planted iu 1902 in the history of the industry at this place.
