I'ariiicm A Tnotory lor Om ili'i.
M. A. Lunn of Lincoln was in tbo city
yesterday in consultation with the Hoard of
Trade relative to detlnllo action batng taken
In order that Omaha might secure a beet
sugar factory.
Asked as to what action ho would sugcrcst
or recommend to bo taken in the matter of
establishing such a factory , Mr. Luun sold :
' 'Certain facts that are uow known should
bo taken into consideration. First , tbo
repeated experiments that hnvo been
mudo in nil parts of Nebraska
disclose the fact that the average per cent m
sugar boots grown in this state Is higher
than that ot the most successful countries of
Europe w hero this sugar bjet railing is ac
knowledged to bo the lending agricultural
industry. Second , it should also bo known
that bv thu use of various implements that
have been invented and manufactured since
thu coming of the Oxnard Beet Sugar com
pany into this .state , hand labor is reduced to
the very minimum , and nlso tno cost , of
growing , resulting in an incroasoj tonna.'o
of an improved quality of beats. 1 refer to a
full line of implements cspaclally designed
for planting , cultivating n.ui evan harvest
ing Iho bents , including a machfnn thnt tops ,
dig * , nnd loads thu beets into carts as success
fully us small grain is cut , bound and
bunched re.idy for shocuing. "
"What number ot acres should bo consid
ered a day's work for one of those Improved
seeders now on the market ( "
"These seeders ara Urrangoil to plant
four rows at one lime , as a corn
planter plants two , nnd they " uro
also arranged to plant at different widths ,
sixlcen , eighteen or twenty Incbns , as mav
bj desired. They nro operated bv ono man
und team and n fair aver.igo day's work
would bo from twelve to fifteen acres. Some
nro mnde for two ro-vs nnd others for four ,
but either H worked by one horse , and can
nlso bo adjusted to different widths of row.
AH that 1 Have seen are provided with differ-
on' , shovels , that are chance.l ns the beets
become larger and require different cultiva
tion. The harvester only digs ono
row at n time , uses two horses nnd requires
ono man beside the driver to Quorate , and
will dig about three acres n day. "
"What number of tons should bo consid
ered afalraverago crop fur ono aero of
ground ! "
"When good land is used and properly prepared -
pared in the fall , planted early and a good
stand .secured , followed with soisonnblo and
thorough cultivation , no diulcully should bo
secured In producing llfteon tons as nn average -
ago crou. Tcis 1 retard ns a very conserva
tive estimulo. Mucn moro Is frequently
produced. At the btato experimental station
last year the average tonnage
from six different plats was from
thirty to thirty-four tons pur ncro.
Many farmers in dllTereiit parts ot the stnlo
have also secured equally as good results. A
Mr. Fullrcld of Douglas county , near Omaha ,
hnrvoslud a crop of thirty-six Inns last
year from ono measured aero of laud. These
beets were of excellent quality. Samples
were sent lo H. H. Nicholson , dlroclor-of
the stnto experimental station ul Lincoln , for
analysis , and his certificate shows the
nverauo to be over 17 par cent sugar. This
is aoovo the average forthostnto. Mr. Full-
rcid says his uxponsc was $11) ) , Including all
labor of crowing , seed and pliicini : the beets
In iho cellar. Such bo.'ts at tbo present scale
of prices would command $ . 'i.50 per ton , de
livered nt the factory. "
"What expense is Incurred In growing
beets nt the stale expcrimcnial station ) "
"Tho nolual expense , Including delivery In
the outdoor cellars prepared for the boots ,
was flfJ.T.'i per acre , or practically SI per ton.
From thusu figures it .vould seem that grow
ing sugar beets can bo made a very prollt-
nblo business for our Nebraska farmers.
There Is no crop that can ba grown for mar
ket that will yield such profitable returns as
sugar beets when their cu.tnru is property
understood and thoroughly proM'eutod. "
"Whatdn you estimate tlu a-urago ox-
poiisn should bo per aero when the work h
properly conducted I"
"Hy llrst having a general'knowledge of
what Is required , and selecting the most
suitable land at command , proparly prepar
ing It early in the fall , beginning Immedi
ately after harvest and using the Implements
now on thu market , which will undoubtedly
bo Improved , I am satisllcd that the oxpoiiHu
of an average yield can bo reduced lo t' >
per ncro. The worn of thmulnir out the
voung plants to iho required distance ) npart
must ba done by hnnd labor. Gond faithful
DO.VH un > much bolter then men
for tno work , ns U does
not tuo them so much. j\ * to waio t the
price paid at llio experimental station is 15
coins per hour , nnd ouo bov will thin out
from one-fourth 10 ono-thlrd of an ncro per
day. "
"Those beet sugar factories are fnid to bo
very expensive , and Iho farmers seem gener
ally not in favor of crowing sugar boots.
How do you reconcile this with the figures
you have given I"
"Ills true that factories for manufacturing
finished KUgar nro expensive , and I huvo
found that this method Is not thu most
economical , but no otnor course could have
boon pursued at llrst In this state. Now ,
however , by the locating of these factories In
Nebraska tuu pcoplu have become Interested
and are posting up In this new Industry , and
thu manufacturers of sultublo implements
have comi ) to the rclluf of u largo amount of
hand labor that at first was necessary , and
to thU cause can bo attributed the general
objovtioii that has been urged by farmers not
wishing to grow sugar beets. U has now
been fully domont > trnicd that boot sugar fac
tories for making only raw sugar can bo
constructed nt much lets expense , and nlso
that Email factories of thin kind
can bo built at such oxrenso as to bring It
wllhiii thu reach or the farmers and business
men of most of tbo suitable locations of this
state , many lu Colorado , Dakota , Mluuoiotu
and lovvu. I hnvo uoen corresponding wltu
bugnr men In different parts of the country ,
and nm convinced thut if the people of this
traimniftbUnlppI territory will become sul-
llclontty in u.iruon about this matter to In-
vostlrato thoroughly they will IInil rctiultu
wurrantini ; them lo engage lu factory build
ing of raw hUL-ur houses , nud li enough of
thoio UOUHOS fan bo arranged for , ol differ
ent capacity , whoso a.'givg'ito produotlon
bo from iXi.OJ'J to 0OJJ tout ol raw
sugar of such ernde , or 00 per cent oolnro-
scope ten , ns will command the highest gov
ernment bounty , the business cau bo con
ducted prolltably.
"Although bonds can bo floated when do-
Mrod , wherever the farmers nro to a cer
tain extent , stockholders , this Is for
thu purpose of a guarantee thnt
the beets will bo furnished. If this
can bo arranged , the American Sugar Ho-
llnery company , owners of the largo refinery
at St. Louis , will contract to buy nil the raw
suear thnt Is m.inufacturod , nt the market
pnco of nuch sugar nt Now York , giving tbis
locality the banolU of the difference of
freight , which I estimate will to about > 4 of
a cant a pound.
' It Is for this purpose I hnvo called on
the Hoard of Trade of Omaha to see what
action It wishes to take In this matter. I
hnvo in my possession , 1 think , nil the ovl-
donco thit will bo required to satisfy Iho
members that It is to Iho Interest of Omaha
to move In this mnltcr nnd by so doing provo
not only to the poopto of Omnhn , but lo the
peonlu of Nebraska aud surrounding states ,
that they nre nllvo to tbo promotion of this
great national Industry ns well ns to local
mutters. As soon as the Increase and growth
of this Industry will warrant n , i-etlnory tn
this transmisslsifppl territory Omaha Is tbo
plnco that will secure it , "

years in your publication on earnest bene

exponent of frauds parpotratod on un ovcr-

columns to inaxo the following Inquiry ro-
garulng the Lifo Indemnity and Inveslinout
company of Sioux City , Iowa.
In the company's statement of May 15 ,

nearly J100.0JO , known at , 'Surplus or endow
ment fund , " was sot nsldo and sacredly
maintained for this particular foaluro. And
It wns openly avowed that from natural
assessments the indemnity was amply cared
for , regardless of this fund.
What has so suddenly decimated this fund
that members In Omaha , Nebraska City ,
Fremont and several cltloa throughout
the f.lalcs of Nebraska nnd inwn ,
who have railhlully performed their part of
iho contract should bo tendered anywhere
from ? -0 to ) ns their oquitaolo proportion
tion , when lliuv had good reasons lo oa-
llovo Ibeir Just proportion toJja f 1,0001
In oilmr word . would nor the lapse of
hundreds of policies at ttio time of tlio change
from "Mutual Aid" to "Investment com
pany" have a tondanoy to strengthen
their expectations as it naturally loft loss
people to draw from this fund )
It is utmulngly strange that thov r.hould
persistently require of each member to for
ward Iholr supplementary contract aad have
printed thereon. "Doos not vltlatoorannul , "
etc. , and then on completion of ten years'
terra oiler or tender them the naliry sum of

Mr , Editor , In our vivid Imagination of
things , it really looks as though wo uilght
pronounce it one gigantic fraud.

would Ilka to Inquire , who tire commercial
travelers ! Wu call them In our counlry
commercial tramps , nnd wo think that is a
more npproprlato name for them. Wo belong
to that konorablo organization , Patrons ol
Husbandry , thnt for twenty years bus
adopted principles of co-operation In trndo
and wo boilovo thcso commercial travelers
ore useless excrescences on the whole com
mercial system. Wo are opposed to them on
general principles , nnd especially are wo
opposed to giving thorn spoclnl privileges. "
Such is ihospcochof nconuicssmnnclcctod
by a vote of the people , sent to congress to
act harmoniously and sanely , Mr. Oils snvs
' wo nro opposed lo them oh general princi
ples. " Judging from his speech I doubt If
this gonlloman over had any principles ho
could call his own. In Kansas "wo" call
ihem "commercial tramps. " This ho knows
to 1)0 ) not o.ily false , but the sarcasm has n
malicious intont. Again ho says they nro
"useless execrosconcos. " I admit the growth
Is n rnpld one and 1 take pleasure In saying
these 'usolejs oxecrosccncos" of today rupro-
scnt a body of some of the most popular gen-
tlotnon in our country. Not onlv nro they
popular nnd successful , but their morality
and Intellect stand far above the average
man of today , compared with those who fol
lowed this vocation ton years ago.
The close compatitlon of today renders It
absolutely nccussnry for manufacturers nnd
Jobbers to employ not only keen , sluewd busi
ness men. but contlomon whoso character is
above reproach.
I nlso admit ( that In this vocation ns well
as In nil others you will Hnd men who are
not absolutely perfect. This is Indeed im
possible , but I do claim that of the 110,000
commercial travelers of today the groalest
majority are gentlemen of rellnmncnt und
culture. Tnoroforo I accept llon.J. O-Otls"
challoneo , dosirinir to know "who nro com
mercial travelers. " 1 do not doslro to pluco
a halo around Ihom , but they , as n whole , mo
often discriminated ngainst without the
sllchtost evidence of reason , The remarks
of Hon. J. Li. Oils not only place him In a
position where the nubile has every reason
to bollevo him beneath the respect of an
ordinary commercial traveler , but it renders
him unlit for his present position as congress
man.
man.Wunt right hns ho to Infer thnt the pcoplo
of Ilo Btato of Kansas call them "commorcial
tramps" when In rtallty the "wo" Is only
Hon. J. U. Otis of Topeka }
Wo ns commercial travelers expend an
nually fortunes In railroad fnres. Is It to bo
wondered at ttiat wo doslro choapjr trans
portation ? Why doss ho ( Mr. Otis ) ' not
ronllno himself to the bill pending exclu
sively , and not deliberately Insult ! 30,000 men
without cause ! I wonder If Mr.
Otis is capnblo of judging the mean
ing of that speech f Considering his
speech as jusllllabio und centered upon someone
ono Individual who may perhaps have given
this L'ontlomnn cnuno for Ihcso remarks , Is It
right that ho should confess Ignorance of respect -
spect duo n fcllovvtnani But ho rofurs to
commercial men who travel ns a whole by
declaring them ull "Commorcial Tramps. "
Ono l.slncllnad to bnltovo that "wo" ' repre
sents' ' ! ha people of Kansas , but in , reality it
Is onlv uu ho'Whom the people 'df Kansas
residing in the district which ho represents ,
voted Jor deliberately , " carelessly , mallei-
ously.--nnd ignoranmsly , slanders the good
nnmo of the commercial travelers by referring
to them us tramps. And .why !
Uccauso Iho commercial travelers who are
the fathers ot onlorpnse , builders of trade
engaged as they are In promoting every in
dustry known lo the civilUod woild , desire
to obtain reduced rates for which they are
in justice worthy of.
Those reduced rates will hnvo a tendency
to reduce prices on various articles. Hut no ;
Mr. J. G. Otis whoso occupation wus cen
tered to a dairy farm originally , having re
ceived sulllcient votes to carry him to con
gress , cannot possibly understand the inclin
ing of justice. Ho , perhaps , enjoys the use
of a pass over the railroads aud docs not
ki < ow the value of a cash fare.
Not content with nn attempt to defeat an
honest measure , ho casts rollcctions unbe
coming a gontlnman upon the whole known
body of commercial inun. He is not aware
that the Insult applies not only upon gentle
men , but upon their homes , wives , maybe ,
or perhaps children. Tno assertion ihat
"wo In Kansas call them commercial
tramps , " is not only ridiculously foolish , but
maliciously wrong. Consldurinir from
whence thu slur came one can readily ascer
tain tbo true value of sendlnc "farmers" of
his tvpo to rcprcsui t us In congress , for tbuy
neither make good farmers or valuable con
gressmen.
1 look upon Mr. J. O. Otis us ono who di
rectly refers to 'no and In protection and re
spect of mv homo , in duu respect to the
gonlloitcn who act In thu same capacity as
myself , "that of commercial Iravolcr. " It
becomes my duty to donounoa such ungon-
tlumanly actions , especially when the Insult
is given us wnero wo cannot defend ourselves -
solves and in a plnco where inon of Keen
judgment , statesmen nnd gunllomen , nro
bupposcd lo bo , Lot thu commercial trav
elers of that district In Kaiibus use ovorv
bonorablo means within tlielr power to
prevent Hon. J. CJ. Otis from
being re-elected to fill so important
a position as congressman. Send him back
to the farm. There In Iho solitude of his
surroundings let him enjoy the blessings the
commercial travelers huvo bestowed upon
him. Coma to tlio front boldly and honor
ably , denounce .such men. They who In
sult you without cause , and your family as
well , are not entitled to the respect of gentlemen -
tlomen ,
1 am not n politician , but I deny any per
son Iho right to deliberately insult 'those
whom 1 Invo , without cause or reason.
