Clark Writes a Congratulatory Epistle to the Horsemen of North east Nebraska Brighter Prospect for Owners of Good Stock. Madison , Neb. , Feb. 8. Editor News : It makes my pulse quicken and my lingers tingle to use my Fa- her No. 2 in commendation of the en terprise shown through your columns In trying to got a skilled trainer and n string of good horses , headed by a great speed sire , to make headquar ters on your track. Kay Brothers and Shade On and Shady Bcattio , with their prestige , Avoilld bo a great quartet. So would Frank Strahan with Union Medium , jr. , and Fallerton and his string , bo a great acquisition to onr county. And I would like to mention , not for ono cent of profit to myself , but to help raise this section up on an equal with other communities , that I have the placing in some good , reliable hands , of a horse with a record of 2:01VI : , whose sire has a trotting race record of 2:159.i : , and what's more , this horse is standard under every new rule In the American Trotting registry. I would like to see our section of coun try have access to such a sire. But in the face of all this , for the same reason that our agricultural ex periment stations send out bulletins and lecturers to enlighten those who have not made a study of the breeding of pure seed corn and pure live stock. I would like to call the attention to a horse now In our midst who stands among the very highest In breeding and speed inheritance as well as be ing among the sensational ones In race performance. By considerable research I find very few harness horses In the select 2:10 : circle , or even holding a record of 2:05 : , that wont their first heat In 2:17 : and that on top of this won an eighth heat in the 'second race of their lives In 2:18 : 1 , and in breeding has for a sire the horse standing the first in the world as the sire of 2:15 : performers ; and added to this has as sire of dam the only horse second only as an nil- round 2:30 : sire In the world. Add to these a fine conformation and is there not great danger In breeders who do not study up these matters , unaware , stepping over gold dollars and leaving them to corrode while they are look ing abroad and beyond for Sidney new dimes ? I am glad to see this northeast Ne braska awakening , not only in speed sires , like George B. Starr , John Mar shall , Shade On , Union Medium , jr. , and Fallerton , but also In drafters , such as Thatchers two just in last sea son , and Madison Horse company's recently imported Perchoron and the over-a-ton Pcrcheron going In at Stanton - ton and the Norfolk-Battle Creek Per- cheron , etc. Lot tljo good work go on and lot the scrub go away back and bo lost.

A number of Madison county physi cinns are In the. city today to attend the annual meeting of the Madison County Medical society , which was called In a circular letter sent to them last week for 1:30 : o'clock p. m. The object of this society , In con junction with other societies In this and all other states In the union Is to unify the medical profession into ono grand body , the American Medical association. Under this new system It Is necessary to bo a member of the county society before ono can bo a member of the state society and the American Medical association. In fact membership In the county society constitutes membership In the state society , for the county society is a part of tlio state society. Alexander Bear of this city is presIdent Ident and Dr. P. A. Long of Madison is secretary-treasurer. The Reservation. Concerning the Rosebud the Omaha News says : "These lands are In the very heart of the wheat-growing dis trlct , having an average annual rain fall of twenty-seven Inches. In 190 wheat averaged eighteen to twenty seven bushels per acre , corn twenty . five to forty bushels , and oats sixtj to 100.

Forbes of the Gregory County Pilot , who has been In Omaha the last week , says ho Is olllclally In formed that allotment of the lands will bo made by lottery , probably In .luno or July. Lands just outstdo the reservation have recently sold at $10 per acre , but these 2,500 quarter-sec tions will bohomestoaded at ? ! 5 an acre. Donesteol , the metropolis of the now district , has a population of 1,000 , with banks , elevators , schools , and all the equipment of the hustling western town. The Rosebud Sioux , who hold a considerable portion of the reser vation lands In severally , have proven the illness of the region for agricul ture. Many of these Indians are grad uates of government schools and have become thrifty farmers. When the reservation is parceled out to settlers , there will bo no more of the public domain in 'Nebraska suit able for homcsteadlng. That will be the end of an era. " SATURDAY SITTINGS. Win.

One Source of the State That is Yet Undeveloped. IT IS GOOD FIELD FOR CAPITAL The Conditions In Northern Nebraska Arc Declared by Authorities to DC More Favorable Than Those In States Now Producing Cement. That paying qualities of foment ex ist In the bluffs of northern Ncbrnslui and that the conditions among which It Is found make the profitable devel opment of the cement producing In dustry possible in the linn bollof of Dr. ( ! . 13. Comlni of the department of geology at the state university who lias spent considerable time Htudylng cement formations and conical pro duction in'his ( and other states , says the Lincoln Journal. The department of geology has been conducting Inves tigations for the geological survey and ono of the most Interesting and Im portant results has boon the gathering of data which bids fair to give to the state an industry which Is as yet practically undeveloped. Last summer Dr. Condra visited the cement bluffs along the Missouri river and also the plant near Yankton , S. D. The plant lies just across the river from Aten , Cedar county , and some of the facts learned on this trip wore presented to the Nebraska academy of scientists at its recent meeting In Lincoln. Dr. Condra has also written a report which will bo published by the geological survey. The facts pre sented herewith are taken from Dr. Condra's remarks before the academy on the topic "Cement Possibilities of Northern Nebraska. " The cement plant is located on a switch four miles west of Yankton and ono and one-half miles north of the Missouri river. It has been In op eration for thirteen years and is Mvned by a company with a capital lock of $200,000. Sixty men are em- iloyed and the dally production is 00 barrels. In 1900 , 78,000 barrels vero produced , valued at $7t > ,000. The naterlal from which the cement is nanufactured is Nlobrara chalk , four mrls , and I'lorro clay , one part. At Yankton the chalk bed lies be- ow the clay and between 50 and CO eet of it Is quarried. Above this hod les ton or fifteen feet of Impure chalk ock which is of too poor a quality to 10 used and must bo removed as stripplngs. " A stratum of clay cov ers this and Is of a dark color. How Cement Is Made. Those materials are quarried and muled to the crusher on small ears operated by the company. After the ngredients are crushed they are mix ed together in the proper proportions and sulllclent water Is added to give the mixture the density of thin mud. This mixture Is run off by means of artesian water to drying vats cover- ng an acre or more where it lies from six to eight inches thick. It is then illowed to stand until the solar heat lartially dries the surface when Jt Is narked off in rectangular blocks. The further drying of the blocks contracts them and causes them to crack , the cracks following the marked lines and 'orming regular rectangular blocks. These are then stacked In sheds where the drying process is continued. The blocks are now ready for the < iln where they are burned by a coal flro and afterward ground and the ce ment is ready for the market. The cement powder is packed in barrels and It finds a ready sale in the adja cent states. Conditions In Nebraska. These are the conditions under which the cement Is produced in South Dakota. Precisely the same formation extends Into Nebraska ant along the Missouri river for many miles to the northwest. This chalk formation has been traced by Dr. Con dra from the northwestern part of DIxon county to Chamberlain , S. D There Is a continuous exposure of the chalk from a depth of eight to eight ) foot , though the formation Is abou 200 feet thick , showing that It extends tends below the surface for over 100 feet. The bluffs , where they have boon eroded by the action of the elements ments , have a weathered appearance but where recent cuts have been made the color Is lead grey. For most o the distance the clay is found ii abundance just above the chalk rock The Yankton conditions are found al along the Missouri river and at not a few places more favorable location for cement works are found. The conditions that determine th favorable location of a plant are so\ oral. First , the nature and condition of the material used.

If a. power hint wore established on the Nlo- > rara at the month of the river and ear the most favorable location the rohlcm would be solved In part. The rtoHlan basin at that point affords ex- client power and might bo utilized ir water and energy as well.

A large quantity of water s utilized In mixing and In transfer- Ing the materials. At Yanton I ho rleslim pressure Is forty pounds lo lie square Inch while at the wells eat of that place , near Nlobrara , the ressure is ninety-seven pounds lo Ilio qiiuro Inch. As an example of the norgy to he derived from these wells no llourlng mill at Nlobrara wllh a apacity of sixty barrels a day Is run y the power from an artesian woll. 'lipso wells could bo utilized as the ource of power. For transportation 10 Northwestern railroad , which runs long those bluffs , la easily accesslolo. 'ho cement , rock in the bluffs Is an nnoyanco to the road because It Is ontlnually sliding down on to the rack and has to bo removed. This vould furnish a second Inducement > work the bluffs. This road would arry the finished product to the very enter of Nebraska. Near at hand also Is I ho Missouri Ivor. The people of this part of the tate do not realize the use that Is lade of the river for the transporta- lon of grain , rock , fuel , cattio and von passengers. Steamers run con- lantly between Sioux City and Nlo- rani. The works at Yankton are too ar from the river to utilize that vain- bio aid to the solution of the trans- orlatlon problem. At many places along the river vnllahlo places for the site of a plant an bo found. That the demand for einent Is increasing Is a well known act. The uses to which It can bo > ut have boon extended to things 1111- cnown a few years ago. Ono of the nest important of these Is the pro- notion of artificial stone for building lurposc.s. The use of concrete in nilldlng is rapidly increasing. In some instances whole houses are made ) f it. Of sister states no ono of them is nero favorably situated and few of hem are HO well favored with cement ock as Nebraska. Colorado has one ilant , North Dakota ono , Kansas one , Michigan had four in 1890 , six In 1900 ind ten In 1001 ; Now York has seven , South Dakota one , Texas two , Penn sylvania thirteen. Kansas' single tlant in 1900 produced 80,000 barrels , worth $100,000. Michigan's ten plants n the same year manufactured 1,025 , 718 barrels , valued at $1,128,299. The seven factories in New York made 117,228 barrels , worth $017,000 and Pennsylvania produced 7,091500 bar rels , valued at $0,091,950. The fifty- six plants in the United States in 1900 had an output of 12,711,225 barrels , which sold for $12,532,300. In every respect except fuel and perhaps demand , Nebraska is better situated than her sister states. If the fuel can bo cllmlnted by the use of water power then the problem will bo solved. The natural Increase of popu lation will soon afford a solution to the problem of demand. It is said that the people who are running the plant at Yankton once considered locating in Nebraska but the business men at Yankton were alive to the situation and offered then Inducements to take their plant t ( that city. There are still many people ple In the state who do not holiovo that Nebraska has good cement rock within its borders. The formatloi which is exposed along the Mlssonr runs under the surface clear across the central part of the state and crops out again near Superior , where it In to bo used In the manufacture of cc inent on a small scale.

Along about West Point ho went back inlo the chair car to speak to a friend and while ho was gone a couple of young fellows came in and sat down In the seat just across from his coat. An old man sat ahead of thorn. Ho heard them say , 'Pretty good grip , that. Ought to bo worth $7 or $8. ' Then they crossed over and sat down in the seat with the grip. The old man do/.ed off to sleep and when the train stopped at Wlsnor the two young fol lows got up anil walked out of the train. The stockman came back for his grip , but It was gone. At Norfolk , when wo pulled In , wo wired back to Wlsnor and before we had finished supper they had the follows arrested.
