The price of cotton thread , which
long has stood nt five cents , hns been
doubled to a dlmo. A few weeks ngo
the price shot up to six and then sev
en cents. Now it Is ten. Within a
few dnys the price hns been doubled.
Ami the matter Is to Justly come up
Into the courts. The government Is
going to Investigate , ns It ought.
' There Is no justification for Increns
\ \
ing the cost of white thread 100 per
cent.
cent.Five
Five cents hns long been the stan
dard price of a spool of thread , If
the price on postage were suddenly
mndo four cents Instend of two , the
country would wako up nnd tnko no
tice. To the women folk of the na
tion the price of thread Is oven moro
important than the price of n postage
stamp.
To many wolucn the price of thread
means much In their lives. Many
seamstresses , particularly in the larg
er cities , earn a few cents a day In
sewing garments that are to bo sold.
With the prlco of 'thread doubled , they
will earn still less than they do now ,
so that the Increase will work hard
ship upon them.
While it Is said the cost of raw cot
ton has Increased , as well as the prlco
of labor In making thread , yet Im
proved machinery has como to hand
and Is doing moro of the thread pro
ducing than It used to , Increasing the
out-turn and thereforev off setting the
cotton cost.
It la said that the thread Industry
is practically controlled by one firm.
Having a monopoly on practically nil
of the output , this one concern can
control the price. Believing that they
can got ton Instead of five cents per
spool , the monopolistic firm advanced
the price.
It Is claimed that the thread of the
world Is under the Coatses nud the
darks of England. They control the
English Sowing Cotton company and
through that concern the American
Thread company.
Women of the country will rise en
masse at the Increase in thread pric
es , which do not sbom to bo Justified
by conditions , and they will earnestly
hope that the government will succeed
in effectively altering the matter.
IN THE RAIN BELT.
The Trlpp county portion of the
Rosebud reservation in South Dakota
will bo opened at some tlmo after
next spring to settlement by the white
man. That It will within a few years
bo converted from an Immense grazing
tract upon which today only cattje
nre raised , Into a garden spot produc
ing corn and wheat just as vigorously
ns Is today produced by Gregory coun
ty , is assured. This settlement will
not only add more territory to Nor
folk's possibilities , but it 'will add to
the Importance of this.northwest In
every way.
They used to say that the trouble
with Gregory county was the lack of
rain. When the settlers took up their
claims In that portion of the ceded
reservation It was predicted that a
few Seasons would drive them out be
cause there would bo no moisture.
But Gregory county has Just as much
or more moisture than Nebraska over
since the white man went and settled
it up , and there is no chance today
of finding any abandoned homesteads
lu that region. Gregory county Is in
the ralu belt.
Trlpp county Is just as much in the
rain > elt as Gregory. Rains nud
snows , in fact , come down from the
Pacific northwest , sweep directly bver
South Dakota , strike Nebraska , go
into Kansas and then turn northeast ,
moving out toward the Great Lakes
and out the St Lawrence river. Last
Saturday night Tripp county was
soaked with rain. West of Trlpp in
Meyer county a heavy rain fell. The
prairies were made muddy and the
creeks overflowed. There Is no lack
of moisture there today.
Old timers in that section declare
thnt the climate has changed. Wheth
er that is true or not is a matter which
matters little now , insomuch as today
there Is plenty of rain. The land Is
fertile in many places and a flno farmIng -
Ing section will no doubt soon develop
there.
They used to say , in years gene by ,
that Iowa was too far west and that
It never rained in Iowa. People who
went to Iowa found that there was
plenty of rain. Then they , laughed at
those who had courage to come to
Nebraska. It never rained in Nebras
ka. But Nebraska seemed to bo right
In the path of the rain storms. And
now they're finding that it rains In the
most distant northwest
Trlpp county will bring many thou
sands of homeseekers Into this terri
tory. They will see Nebraska at its
best. They will settle up n region In
*
Norfolk's territory. The next ycnr
will ndd pOBBlbllltlefl to Norfolk's fu
ture.

PACKING PLANT IN SMALL CITY
Sioux Falls Is again worried over
its packing industry. A few weeks
ago the packing plant nt that place ,
which had long stood Idle , was pur
chased by a Sioux City man and there
was renewed hope that the Industry
might be revived and pushed Into
worth while calibre. But now comes
word from Chicago that a "combine"
has bought the plant for the purpose
of preventing its use , simply to keep
the packing business of that territory
centered in Sioux City and St. Paul.
It is probably true thnt the big pack
ers would not relish the Idea of an
independent packing plant at Sioux
Falls. They would probably not bo
delighted with such a project in Nor
folk. But that it is possible for an
independent packing plant to exist and
prosper is demonstrated in South Oma
ha , where the independents operate
one unmolested , as well as in other
packing points. One Norfolk young
man , Isaac Powers , jr. , Is manager of
a very successful and growing pack-
lug plant at Jacksonville , 111. , a city
located much the same with respect to
St. Louis and Chicago as Norfolk is
to Omaha and Sioux City. It would
appear that If a packing plant could
succeed there , Independent of the
largo companies , there should bo all
the more reason why one should suc
ceed hero , at the very gateway leadIng -
Ing out from the greatest territory In
the world.
This Is what the Sioux Falls Press
says of the situation there :
The Press is In receipt of a signed
communication from Chicago In which
It Is stated thnt the Sioux Falls packIng -
Ing plant , recently transferred to Sioux
City parlies , was purchased for the
pniposo of keeping It out of tlivlinmln
of Independent packers and thnt It will
not be operated.
The writer , who asks that his name
he not lined , says It IB the plan of the
combination to keep Independent
packers out of what It calls ItH terri
tory and thnt Sioux Falls Is In the
territory of Sioux City and St. , Paul ,
both of which arc packing centers
under the jurisdiction of the united
packing Interests.
The Press gives this Information for
what It Is worth and docs not know
how much It IB worth , The writer
Hcems certain of his premises ,
One thing lian been learned from'
the experiences of the past thnt
packing Industries have been short
lived within the territory of Sioux City
and St. Paul , outside of those cities.
Sioux Falls has made three efforts to
maintain meat packing establishments
and Ynnkton has made one , and In
each Instance the packing houses have
been summarily closed after n few
months of activity.
These experiences lead to the con
clusion that some Influence Is at work
to prevent the extension of the pack
ing Industry outside of limits thnt
may have been prescribed by strong
combinations.
The business could bo made ns prof
itable nt Sioux Falls nnd Ynnkton as
at St. Paul nnd Slqux City , but It has
always failed and for no visible reason ,
nnd the stock thnt could ns well have
been slaughtered nearer the scene of
Its production has been carried by to
more distant killing centers.
An Influence that can prohibit the
existence of a valuable industry , If
there Is such an influence , represents
the legal definition of a statute pro
scribed trust , for it exists in restraint
of production and therefore In re
straint of trade.
The Chicago correspondent of this
paper say the "combine" is not ac
tuated by a desire to retard the busi
ness prosperity of Sioux Falls , but is
acting In pursuance of Its policy to
prevent Independent packers from In
truding upon Its field.
The Bocalled combine Is taking care
of itself and Sioux Falls has the right
to do the same thing. If the proceed
ing Is in restraint of trade , it would
bo n matter of public Interest to prove
it.
When it is considered that there
are millions nnd millions of acres of
range grass land to the northwest of
Norfolk , In western Nebraska and
southern South Dakota on the Rose
bud reservation , producing thdusands
of cattle each year for the packers
and sending scores of trains directly
through Norfolk to South Omaha and
Chicago , It would seem thnt enough
of n sprinkling of those cattle could
bo Induced to stop here for slaughter
to Justify n packing plant in this city
if anywhere in the world on an inde
pendent basis. Independent plants do
succeed other places and Norfolk Is
Ideally located for such nn Institution.
The fact that the Sioux Falls plant
has been bought by the big packers
in order to keep it Idle ought not to
affect the p/tuatlon. Twenty years
ago Norfolk organized a company to
establish a packing plant which would
slaughter 300 hogs per day. Today ,
with n building which might bo used
for the purpose , and with more miles
of railroad radiating in here , the con
ditions ought to bo much more favor
able. A large packing plant Is suc
cessfully operating at Nebraska City
and surely Norfolk has n much better
location for such an Industry than Ne
braska City.
THOSE FISH STORIES.
It is a rule of human thought that
man constantly goes through the pro
cess of setting ilrst one goal for his
achievement , gaining that goal nnd
then advancing the pegs to aim at
further on and up. Such restlessness
as this found in an unusual degree
among the people of America ac
counts almost wholly for the mar
velous progress that has been mad6 in
this country within the past hundred
years. In other words there is a
little more hiimau nature found in
rapid America than in some otlicr
parts of the slow old world.
Striking examples of this dcslro to
accomplish always more and more ,
to move always further and further
along the route of advancement in
thought and action , has been found
here in northern Nebraska within the
past few days. Those fish stories
have furnished the example.
A few days ago a Verdigro dispatch
in these columns told of a remarkable
fish catch in the Verdlgre creek. A
small fish had been drawn out of the
when a very largo catfish came along
and swallowed the little three-pound
fish and was hooked. After a struggle
the monster catfish was lauded. Steak
from the catfish was enjoyed in a
Verdlgre restaurant for supper that
night. The story had the ring of truth
and the fish editor of The News cord
ially believes that It happened. But
that is neither hero nor there.
Western America is not satisfied to
stand still. To remain stationery is
retrogression , and the west goes for
ward. Came a story from Nellgh
next day. A much bigger flsh had
been caught at Nellgh. First a small
fish was hooked. On this as bait an
other hit. Then came the monster third
fish to swallow both the other two.
A man was drawn clear across the
stream in trying to land the mammoth
catch. It was a fish story pure and
simple. But as a fish story it was a
clever yarn. And fairy tale though
it was , credit must bo given to Nellgh
for the progrcsrlvo spirit which
prompts men to risk their all for the
sake of going on and up.
Uut even that was not enough. The
further west you go the more pro
gressive nro the people , according to
popular theory. And the Impression
apparently had reason foundation.
Valentino Is located a couple hundred
miles west of Nellsh. Both are In
Nebraska. But It took Valentine to set
a new mark. Captain McCIoud was
fished out of the river. He was hang
ing to a clothes line rope. What was
first thought to be a drowning person
proved tb bo a catfish welching 102
pounds. Was It true ? Ask the cook.
So shrewd a westerner as Dr. Warner
of Butte asked The News If it were
true. The sporting editor throws up
his hands at the query. It sounded
well. And at all events , true or un
true , it was seeing Nellgh and Verdl
gre and going them one better.
Surely Valentino paid to sit In the
game.
No doubt these flsh yarns were read
by thousands of people throughout the
northwest and laughed at. None took
any serious view of the stories , fact
or fiction. But there is a serious side
to them , just the same. They demon
strate why America nnd partlculnrly
the west has gene forward when other
nations remained stagnant. It took
resource to come up to that first story
from Verdigro and then to beat It out
with a better one. How much more
play of mind's resource , therefdre , was
found in equalling and surpassing the
Neligh fable ?
We profit by example. The spirit
which brought the Nellgh story after
Verdlgre , and the Valentine yarn after
the other two. That spirit has made
safety bicycles from the old high
wheelers , auto-cycles from the safety
and automobiles after that. That
same spirit has brought submarine
boats that go down and airships that
go up , and race horses that go a mile
in less than two minutes , along with
trains that leap along at the rate of a
hundred miles an hour.
It has been that spirit , this summer ,
which brought nature fables of ani
mals stalling trains. First a mother
bear , stalled a train , then a swarm of
bees did the stunt , later came the
bunch of moths and now the climax
is capped by the mlsqulto which stall
ed an Iowa train. Smaller and always
smaller have become the creatures
that stopped the locomotives , showing
that enterprise and progressive spirit
among space fiends which Is found
only m a different form among the pioneers
neers who have built nations.
NEEDS OF NORFOLK.
The opinion regarding Norfolk's
possibilities as expressed by a number
of visiting railroad officials in the city
from Minnesota , Is of value as tend
ing to show how Norfolk Is seen by
the outside. These railroad officials ,
in Norfolk for an inspection trip over
the M. & O. lines in the state , nnd
Including the general manager , ex-
p/essed the very emphatic belief that
Norfolk's paramount duty to itself
today lies in the securing of a new
industry to occupy the abandoned
sugar factory'buildlugs. The Import
ant work of the Norfolk Commerlcal
club , in the opinion of these officials ,
lies in gaining for Norfolk an industry
that will once again put life into those
ghostly structures , nn industry that
will once more set wheels in motion
and bring a payroll to town. "
Since the Norfolk sugar factory was
dismantled and shipped to a less
fertile land , for the reason that the
soil hereabouts Is so productive of
easier crops as to make it difficult to
gain beet contracts , many proposi
tions have been received looking to
new Industries to take the place of
the sugar plant. No proposition thus
far submitted to Norfolk people con
trolling the empty sugar buildings
has shown the possibilities believed to
be essential to any industry for whoso
use the factory buildings are turned
over. But somewhere in this broad
land there ought to bo au Industry
that would be glad to come to Norfolk
and an industry that Norfolk would
be glad to have.
Norfolk was never so prosperous as
It is today. Bank deposits have
trebled In Norfolk since the days of the
sugar factory's birth. PostofHco re
ceipts , an accurate guage , have steadly
shown an Increase in Norfolk's pros
perity and commerlcal activity.
Express companies .have trebled their
force of men and wagons to handle
the increasing business through that
channel. Every business Interest In
the city is growing steadily and sub
stantially and Norfolk today is gener
ally prosperous. But for all of
Norfolk's prosperity and possibilities ,
the empty sugar factory buildings
hang over the town's head to ever
remind visitors of the Industry that
has gone away. And the gaining of
a new one to fill those echoing build
ings with the roar of mnchinery and
the hum of toll would mean much
more than merely the adding of a now
payroll to the town. It would mean
the wiping out of an unwholesome
vision and the elimination of a present
constant menace to the city's'growth. .
For many years Sioux Falls , S. D. ,
hns had two big Industrial clouds
much like Norfolk's abandoned sugar
factory. Years ago an Immense Hour-
Ing mill was built in Sioux Falls. There
wasn't wheat enough In the country
to supply the mill and the wheels
stood still. Now the old mill has been
revived and will bo used as an electric
power plant. Also years ngo Sioux
Falls gained an Immense packing
house. It was a gigantic plant , but
the management never succeeded in
getting live stock headed that way.
So It remained Idle through summer
nnd winter until a few weeks ngo when
It was bought by a packing house mnn
In Sioux City , said to be backed by
Swifts , and now there Is every pros
pect that the Institution will succeed.
As a result Sioux Falls has taken a
new lease on life , and the whole com
munity has felt the effect of the new
blood.
The M. & 0. officials were quick to
recognize Norfolk's advantageous geographical
graphical location. They saw how
this is bound to become more and
more the commercial center of the
northwest. But as outsiders they were
Impressed more than all else by the
fact that no Industry has yet been EC-
eured to occupy the sugar factory
buildings , and they gave It as their
opinion that the Commercial club's
biggest work lies in accomplishing
this end. Just how to go about that
accomplishment , however , is not nn
easy problem to solve. Perhaps the
right kind of publicity In magazines
thnt would reach investors might help ;
perhaps circulars sent out with let
ters or pamphlets distributed among
people passing through the city would
help ; perhaps to send a representative
east somewhere might gain the de
sired industry. It is reported from
West Point that a Regent shoe factory
representative visited that city con
templating establishing a shoe factory.
Factories are more and more getting
out of the cities nnd into the smaller
towns , so that there ought to be some
method of getting results.
There are a number of things that
Norfolk needs and which ought to be
systematically gone after. In order
to do the town justice , o'utlylng
Additions ought to be brought inside
the cjty limits so that they will be
counted as a part of Norfolk's official
population when the next census is
taken. Good roads ought to be built
for long distances out of the city so
Norfolk and the surrounding territory
would be brought closer together ;
Norfolk avenue dpwn town ought to be
paved in order to bring it out of the
mud and in order to put a city gown
Instead of a village gown upon the
town ; an effort ought to be made to
bring Northwestern rriain-llne trains
up town that passers-through may
get a just impression of what the
city is ; preparations should be made
to take advantage of the Tripp county
rush next spring and secure some ben
efit for Norfolk among the throngs ;
new industries , particularly a large
new Industry to put life into the dead
sugar factory walls , should be secured.
All of these things can not be gained
in a minute. Each one will take time
and effort. But there Is no reason why
efforts could not be made along a
number of different lines simultane
ously. To remain stationery is
retrogression. Organized , harmonious
activity alone can bring the advance
ment that Norfolk needs. Every per
son In Norfolk is interested in Nor
folk's growth. That growth can" come
about only from an energetic , ever
lasting systematic campaign in which
every Individual throws his whole zeal
and effort. United effort and co-
operajlon in each movement for Nor
folk's welfare can alone secure the
desired forward movement. It mat
ters not whose pet scheme It is , so
long as the plan is a worthy one for
the benefit of Norfolk petty jealousies
should be fed to the cat and the idea
gone after for all it is worth.
Norfolk has made excellent progress
during the past year. New factories
which hold out much for the city's
good have been established. A per
manent roadway has been started to
the Junction. And now , under the ag
gressive and eminently able direction
of Norfolk merchants , the Norfolk
Trade Promoters' association is be
ginning a movement which promises
more benefit to Norfolk as a whole
than any undertaking that has been
launched in many a year. Fortified
with harmonious co-operation within
itself and enthusiastic for Norfolk's
trade and growth , the Norfolk Trade
Promoters' association has within a
few weeks become one of the most
vital factors In Norfolk's upbuilding
and all Norfolk has faith In its suc
cess.

Norfolk has reason to find satisfac
tion In this new trade expansion move
ment ; and reason also to hope that
equally vigorous campaigns for other
needed progress may be undertaken in
the not distant future.
