Rushing Line From Dallas.
Dalian. S. D. July 11 ! . Special to
The News : The Rosebud country ,
wooms to he peculiarly favored by u
Hind of providence. While most of
the country has suffered from drouth
: it some time during the season , the
major portion of the Koscbud has
had abundant rainfall , the last good
rnln falling last Friday and Saturday.
And now whllo most sections of the
rountry arc experiencing a small vol
ume of business Incident to harvest
time , nnd by reason of temporary
stringency In the money market , and
while practically all railroad construc
tion worlt has boon temporarily called
off , ( he construction of the Northwest-
< > in line through Trlpp county from
Dallas to Carter has just started in
earnest.
There are now four contractors on
tin- work between Dallas and Winner ,
and now outfits are arriving dally. It
Is the Intention of the company to
rush the work between Dallas and
Winner with all possible speed and
to run trains into Winner this fall.
It Is not thought that any trains will
lie run west of Winner this fall , but
it Is likely that grading will bo done
to the Melletto county line , unless an
early winter prevents.
A Burlington Survey ?
A new line , thought to be a part of
the Burlington system , which is be
ing surveyed from Harwell , Neb. , to
Murdo , S. D. , Is making rapid r/ro-
Kress. The surveyors have competed
their work from the south to Cartel ,
S. D. , and the right-of-way agent is
following closely on the heels of the
engineering crow.
The unusual activity in railroad con
struction on the Rosebud to the ex
clusion of work almost everywhere
else is a great boon to this country ,
and the railroad towns throughout
Trlpp county are experiencing a phe
nomenal growth. Winner's assurance
of a railroad this year lias caused a
great rush to that lively town. The
light between Winner and Lararo is
practically at an end , as all business
Jlrms in Lamro , with two or three ex
ceptions , have removed to Winner
and are prepared for the big rush in
cident to the coming of trains to this
town.
New Opening Next Summer.
For some time past it has been
thought that the president would soon
issue Ills proclamation opening to set
tlement and entry the counties of Mel-
let to and Dennett and that the open
ing would occur this fall before the
railroad was constructed into Carter.
It is now practically assured that the
opening will not occur until next sum
mer , and it looks as if Carter will
Jmve two roads by that time.

NEBRASKA A FACTORY SITE.
Offers More Possibilities In Some
Ways TIan ; Any Other State.
That Nebraska is wholly an agri
cultural state Is an Impression that
very generally obtains. It Is true that
Nebraska's prosperity rests pri
marily upon the soil , but the same
Is true of every great section. It Is
true that Nebraska's prosperity , more ,
perhaps , than any other state , does
and always will depend upon agricul
ture. Hut Nebraska is more than an
agricultural state It Is developing
along manufacturing lines at a won
derful rate. It may be news to most
people that there are more people
In Nebraska making a living apart
from agricultural pursuits than there
are who derive a living from agrlcul- '
tural pursuits. This Is Indicative of i
two things. First , that there Is now |
and always will be a great growing ,
homo market for agricultural and live i
stock products , and , second , that Nebraska - !
braska Is rapidly developing along in
dustrial linos.
In 1900 the niiinufactured products
of Nebraska most of them manu
factured from raw products raised In
Nebraska , reached the enormous to
tal of $200,00(1,000 ( In round numbers.
This does not Include the product of
the printing offices , of several bun-1
dred Isolated Industries located in the |
small towns , or finished , products
made In homes and put upon the mar
ket. If these were included the total
would easily reach $250,000.000. . In
'lOOO there was paid to wage earners
In Nebraska , exclusive of domestic
service , upwards of $30.000,000. s Ev
ery step forward in the development
of Nebraska's manufacturing resour
ces means an advance step in agri
cultural development.
Nebraska should , and in time will ,
manufacture her raw products into
the finished product , instead of ship
ping the raw product east to be man
ufactured and then buying it back ,
paying freight charges both ways and
leaving the" profits of manufacturing
in the east. Today Nebraska is man
ufacturing in marketable quantities
everything from automobiles to zwel-
bach. Nebraska flour is standard the
world over , and the milling industry
is growing by leaps and bounds. One
of the largest manufacturers of wind
mills , pumps , etc. , in the United
States is located in Nebraska. One
of the largest sugar factories In the
world is about to begin business hi.
western Nebraska. The solution of
the fuel problem is at hand in the
shape of water power along Nebras
ka's numerous streams. The Loup ,
the NIobrara , the Clue and the Platte
rivers offer power in almost unlimited
quantity. The raw product or the
manufacture of Hour , woolen goods ,
shoes , cereal products , confections ,
etc. , are produced in abundance In
Nebraska.
On the whole Nebraska offers a
better field for investment along the
manufacturing lines than almost any
other state in the union.
In 1900 Nebraska flouring mills
ground and shipped by rail upwards
-10,000,000 pounds of flour. This
would make a pile of 50-pound sacks
more than 320 miles high.
In 1909 the output of Nebraska gar
ment factories exceeded $3,000,000 ,
and the business is growing rapid
ly.
The dressed meat products of Ne
braska ; made almost wholly from
Nebraska-grown live stock , exceeded
$90,000,000 in value , filled 22,000 re
frigerator cars , making a train near
ly 200 miles long.
The center of the world's greatest
agricultural region it is only natural
that the manufacture of agricultural
implements should he a great and
growing industry. Nebraska is rap
idly achieving distinction in this
line , and the opportunities are almost
beyond computation. With the rapid
development of her magnificent water
powers , the enterprise of her citizens
and the enormity of the raw material
raised upon Nebraska farms , Nebras
ka Is bound to develop along manu
facturing lines even as she developed
along agricultural lines and Nebras
ka's agricultural development has
been the wonder of the world.
Every progressive city in Nebraska
has a Commercial club , and the sec
retaries of these Commercial clubs
will gladly give information to in
tending investors. Free factory sites ,
local capital and local patronage are
advantages offered by scores of live
Nebraska cities to men who seek new
and broader fields for manufacturing
enterprises.
Draining Their Land.
Ainswortli Democrat : A large num
ber of the prominent ranchmen soufh
of Alnsworth have commenced the
draining of their land , which 'ies ' very
low , and the possibilities of which un
der favorable weather , no man can
predict , as the land Is as rich as any
to bo found In the west , but owing to
its wet condition , has been used al
together hi the past for hay land. W.
I. Host , has contracted to do the work
and has a ditch outfit that Is hard to

being run Is four feet wMo or. top ,
eighteen Inches wide on thn uolton

when all the low land to the south of
Alnsworth will bo drained In the same
manner , and the men who are now
undertaking the work are but the pioneers
neers of the movement.
Keep Auto In Shade.
Motor Age : When a car Is to he
left standing for a few hours an ef
fort should bo made to pick the shady
side , and if there Is no shade the car
should not bo left standing In the sun

An Auto for Mail.
Basset t Leader : J. E. Taggart , who
has charge of the Bassett-IJrocksburg
daily mail route lias been demonstrat
ing the value of using an auto on mail

at 2 p. m. As seen from the above
figures this was an all day job for
a man and a team but is now cut
down to a half day's work by the use
of an auto.

Rustlers Near Herrlck.
Herrick Press : It has been some
time now since horse thieves have
been active In this part of the country ,
and In fact , since the early days of
its settlement our citizens have not
been greatly bothered in this line and
it was thought the game was com
pletely stamped out so far as Gregory
county is concerned.
However , on Tuesday evening Dick
Elision living on the Ponca , three
miles south of Herrick , turned n fine
pair of horses into his pasture and
securely fastened them in. Yesterday
morning he went for his team , but
they wore gone. Dick found where
the wire fence had been let down and
the horses taken out.

Into the law's meshes a couple of
years ago. Breaking Into freight cars
and stealing inerchaiHll.se Is the

last night , some of them at the city
I Jail and some at the South Norfolk
jail , were :

er of the gang ; a one-legged youth
who has a long police record. He

Ammedun , a nm'kinnn.
William Schorregge , son of n rail-
\vny employe.
Special Agent W. J. Stuart of the
Northwestern railroad company ,
County Attorney Nichols nnd Consta
ble Flynn reached the city at noon
yesterday and began throwing out n
net to capture the desired youths. By
0 o'clock last night the half dozen
were behind the bars. It Is believed
to bo probable that charges may be
filed against them for burglarizing
two Norfolk beer vaults recently.
It is said that the robbery for
which the young men are wanted took
place last week. The amount of
goods stolen has not yet been made
mown.
% ays Richardson Confessed.
Stuart , after putting Richardson
through a " .sweating" last night , said
that the youth had confessed. Ac
cording to the story told hy one of
the olllcers ulio assisted in the ar
rests , Richardson said that the fang
one night last week broke into a sec
tion foreman's shanty near the Union
Pacific depot by prying open the lock.
They stole crowbars and other instru
ments with which they twisted locks
off the Schlltz and Fremont Brewing
company beer vaults , They stole
beer , one beer keg being found last
night by Stuart in the railroad yards ,
alongside the section men's tools.
Ammedon was locked in the Junc
tion jail , while the other live spent
the night in the city jail.
County Attorney Nichols says that
no efforts will bo spared to secure
punishment for the guilty youths.
Bonney's Bad Record.
Of the half dozen arrested , Bonney
has by far tlfe w rst record. He
seems to be a natural boru thief and
is a degenerate. A cripple with but
one leg , lie is the only son of a wid
owed mother whose home was re
cently destroyed by fire. Bouncy was
alleged to have been the leader of the
other gang , taken two years ago , and
lie was finally paroled by Judge
Welch , who delivered a lecture to
Bonney that brought tears to the eyes
of the lawyers who heard It. He
pleaded with the young criminal to
mend his ways and he gave Bonney a
chance to make good. Since then
Bonney has been as bad as ever. On
ly a few weeks ago he stole a num
ber of bicycles , changing wheels and
frames so that they would not be
easily recognized by the owners.
Chester Housh was not arrested di
rectly with tills charge but was
taken in custody on account of a
reform school sentence in Dawes
county having escaped from the of
ficers there , It is said. It is believed ,
however , the officers suspect him of
fi eight car robberies , said one officer.
Long Series of Thefts.
"There has been n continual round
of burglaries and netty larceny going
on in Norfolk for the past few months.
Nearly every night for several months
Northwestern cars have been broken
into and robbed ; beer -vaults have
been raided ; gardens have been rob
bed of potatoes and other vegetables ;
chickens and eggs have been stolen
from different homes. Of course we
don't believe the boys arrested are
guilty for all of it but most of it.
Benne # can no longer be called a
'boy' bandit. He is a man , who is
leading these other boys on. "
Richardson and Dorsoy were' the
( list to fall into the net.
Two Nearly Escape.
Bonney was soon captured and
Night Patrolman O'Brien rounded up
Ammedon and Schoregge just as they
were about to escape from the city on
an M. & O. freight. lloush had al
ready been taken in by the c.iher
officers. Through the co-operation of
Mayor Friday special police were put
to work and guards posted along the
railroads. Every train was stopped
and searched until 2 o'clock this morn
ing when the officers finally found
time to get a few hours rest. The
railroad officials also are credited
witli co-operating with the officers.
The first charge against the boys IE
for breaking into Northwestern cars
on the night of July 11 at the South
Norfolk yards. On tills night the
seals on six cars were broken. Other
charges will bo filed later.
Among the goods stolen since the
robbery began are vnlskoy , gin , ci
gars , gloves , shirts and other cloth
ing , canned goods and food stuffs and
oilier merchandise
Had Camps Around Town.
