Norfolk would make an excellent location for a canning factory accordIng - Ing to an Iowa canner , whom N. W. Clover , commercial agent for the Un ion Pacific , met on the train the other day. The canning factory at Fremont was being discussed when the Iowa canner took tip the question of Nor folk as a location for a similar effort. "Norfolk should have a canning fac tory. " he said to Mr. Clover , "which would can vegetables through the entire - tire season not for thirty or sixty days as is the case at Fremont. They could start with peas and string beans and run through the vegetables of the season until the last thins in the fall , when they would finish up with corn and pumpkins. That would keep the factory In operation for six months of the year and keep a large force of persons employed half the year. Then think of the truck farming it would build up in the country sur rounding Norfolk" , Truck farming Is remunerative and employs large num bers of persons. " The grade of canned goods which such a factory would put up would not be strictly fancy and yet it is the very kind that Is most easily sold. There Is an enormous demand for just such a grade as would be packed in Norfolk , and you have a good terri tory to sell out of without meeting too fierce competition from other fac tories. " In regard to railroad rates for such an Industry Mr. Clover declares that suitable rates could undoubtedly be secured of the railroads. He Is of the opinion that the rate from Norfolk to eastern points would be made only a cent or so higher than out of Frcomnt , whore the factory has proven eminent- ly successful. To the westward the rate would give Norfolk a slight ad vantage , and there Is a large trade In western Nebraska , the Dakotas , and Wyoming , which Is well worth going after. In fact there are vast ranges of country west of Norfolk where prac tically everything they eat comes out of cans. This trade should bo han dled by a Norfolk factory with the proper kind of management.

Footprints of human blood form a definite trail leading cast from the scene of the Chicago lumber yard flro , along Norfolk avenue. These marks of crimson , the shape of a man's foot and at Intervals indicating steps , lead along the north side of the street , on the sidewalk , dotting the snow with spots of rod , and at Fourth street turn south and go for several blocks down the west sidewalk along that thoroughfare. Who was wounded ? Who has been gashed wide open ? These are the questions that canio Into the mlndH of Norfolk people on their way down town after the flro. A pursuit of the bloody trail led to the homo of John Ohm , n Norfolk t'lllor. Mr. Ohm had slipped down on the crossing near the scene of the flro and had received a very severe gash In his knee , bursting a blood vessel which bled profusely and sprinkled the sidewalk with footprints of near- let. When the pools of blood flowed from his knee , ho stepped Into thorn , thus forming the footprints. The wound Is not serious.

SHERIFF ENDS TANGLE. After Twenty-five Years of Litigation That Has Brought Grief. After twenty-five years of litigation that has at one time or another brought grief to a dozen men , the Pap- stein place , ono mile east of the city , is being sold at sheriff's Hale today In Madison. The trouble began twenty- five years ago when the property , con sisting of 210 acres east of Norfolk , came to Mrs. Florence Pap.stoln through the death of her husband. Shortly afterward , becoming heavily Involved through the signing of notes , she deeded the land to Carl Schultz. Later she tried to get It back from him and , after taking It through the courts , managed to have it transferred to a Mr. Teade at Wlsnor. Soon this was not a satisfactory arrangement , and , with the help of A. H. Oloson of Wlsner and Attorney Koenlgsteln of Norfolk , the land was deeded to A. . Oleson. Then she fell out with Oleson and Koenlgsteln and secured M. D. Tyler as counsel. Later she shifted attorneys again and secured Harrington and Mullen of O'Neill but they In turn wore succeeded by Attor ney Ehrhardt of Stanton , who Is now her attorney. And during all these changes of ownership and attorneys the land was dragged back and forth through the courts until there will probably bo but little left for Mrs. Papsteln today after the sale Is made and the Incumbrances are paid off.

How Proposition Game About. lion W. M. Koborlson In an explan atory talk gave the history of thopio- po.Hcd ordinance , how It had come alioul and why lie , as a member ofllio Commercial club , Kiipported It. "The position of the Commercial club In IhlH matter ban been severely criticised , " he said. "They have said that we are working for the railroad ( hut wo are owned by ( he railroad. That In not HO. We have been work ing for Norfolk for the good of Nor folk. Before ( lie embers of the old Crelghton depot had ceased Htnoklng Mr. Burnham and I called on the gen eral superintendent of the Northwest ern to see what ho would do toward building a union station. For weeks we worked at that. Then wo found that It was useless to attempt to got the railroads to agree to such a scheme. Wo did not consult all the members of the Commercial club at once because wo had to act quickly and wo know wo wore doing what wo could for the bcHt Interests of Nor folk. Will Really Cost $20,000. "Then they offered to build a frame depot uptown If wo would give our support to a proposition to vacate Philip avenue. Wo took this up with the city council and they refused It. They demanded a $15,000 brick depot. If wo get that they are to blame , not the Commorclal club. It was they that asked for the good brick depot. I was talking with Mr. Hughes today and he said that the plans are being drawn In Chicago for this depot and It will cost nearer $20,000 than $15- 000. In fact It may cost more than that. They are going to straighten out their tracks , take out their spurs , remove the stockyards , and clean up the yards. Answers the Arguments. "We are told that they don't need that much room. Mr. Hughes says that they want to build a platform from Park avenue to Madison avenue. They are going to run longer trains on that track and they want n plat form long enough to accommodate them. Then they must have room for a separate freight house below the station. The complaint has been made that It will close up the street entire ly. It won't. It will be open for pe dostrlans. Thcro will bo a sufficient opening for them between the pas senger and freight depots. Besides that crossing could well bo closed up It is the most dangerous crossing In the city. All the fatal accidents have been there. " City Wants It. M. D. Tyler pointed to the govern ment building and the hospital as ev idences of what good buildings do and will do for Norfolk and said that the depot would do as much. "W all 1' ' iliouuht that Iho Crelghtoti depot hnit < orvoi | HH purpoHo , " he Hiild "Thoro Hccinod lo he a general iloHlrn for 'lomolhliig holler ; lo have the yardn ' leaned up ; to get rid of Urn iitoclf- Minim to have a nice depot and nice urnitnihi. Do we want ( he depot an a city ? I think wo do and that , If It \M'ro put lo a vole of Iho clll/.oiiii , the ordinance would receive ulno-tentlin of the voloii. I can't conrelvo how It will hurt property and wo certainly can't keep on getting noinotlilni ; with out nothing. " A Protest. The principal talk agalnul the ordi nance wan made by W. It. Hoffman , who look the Miami that the giving of I he uvcnuo to the railroad wan a con- cowilon to a corporation and that no corporation nhoiild receive conecii- idoim from the people.
