UNION PACIFIC ALL RIGHT Physlbal Condition of the 8ystom aaNeTOi Bettor Than at Present , PRESIDENT CLARK GIVES IIS OPINION ttcicit of the limr of Inspection I'lernea Jllmlmm n olj Northwest l I'roipor- oii Outlook tor IlrorRiiiilifUlon I * Not Promising President S. H. H. Clark ot the Union Pacific poised a letter opener In the nh long enough to say to a lies man , ai ho sat at his desk In the genera ! offices of the company , that he had little to say for publication as to his recent trlt over the system. "But what about the handsome trout yet caught on a four-ounce rod white In the northwest ? " The letter opener was carefully laid ti ono aide , the president ot one of the greates systems of rails In the world leaned back Ir his chair , a reminiscent look came Into hli eye , and then he lived over again the ex c'.tement of that gray day In October whei ho landed , after an hour and a hairs hart , work , the largest trout ever captured In tin ' ' northwest country. The description of hov he put two leaders on his line , the cast , tin strike and then the physical endurance neccs lary to land the prize were described slowly minutely , few words being wasted In uselesi explanation. "It was worth a whole month's outing t < land that one trout , and I think I an prouder of that episode In my life than t represent this great corporation. " "Tho system , " continued Mr .Clark , afte Ills graphic description of catching the fish "baa novcr been In so excellent condltloi is now. The rolling stock Is In flrct clas : order , the road bed In fine shape and every thing Is running smoothly. Wo arc dolni considerable work on the Snake. Bolso am Indian rivers In the way of putting In nev bridges , the largest work , however , bclni dona on the Snake river. We built th bridges over theae rivers about the same time and naturally they are giving out about th Same time. The Improvements on thes rivers will cost In the neighborhood ot $300 , 000. but when completed we will have iroi nnd stone bridges In place of the woodei structures erected years ago. PROSPERITY PLAINLY EVIDENT. "The country west of Nebraska and Kan as Is seemingly In much better condltlo than the states mentioned. Cattle look fa nd sleek In the northwest , Utah and Wye mlng , corn , seems to bo plenty and th farmers do not complain ot shortage I crops , as ono hears on a trip through Ne braska. There arc portions of Kansas 1 a much better condition than Nebraskt strange as It may seem. It Is unfortunat when farmers hove to Import grain to fee their cattle and hogs instead of exporting li This condition , however , obtains to a larg extent In Nebraska , no later than yesterda several cars of corn having been received o Btromsburg from the outside. "All the Union Pacific needs Is business for we are In first class shape to take car of anything that comes along. Our buslnes In the west has been far greater than I the tast , the Wyoming division alone bavin done more actual work In the way of hanc ling freight than for several years prevloui I look , however , for Improvement In th business situation , but It won't come unt we Imvo gona through what I anticipate wl bo an exceptionally hard winter. Wo ai attempting to keep down our expenses t the lowest possible notch and are makln no needless Improvements. With carefu nods , however , wo hope to tide over the nej tpur months and bo In a position to enjo Increased earnings , which are sure to coin whoa spring opens. " ' , 'Io ! you anticipate that Messrs/ Mink an Anderson , the. receivers who have , gone I Portland to attempt an agreement with' Hi colvcr McNclll of the Navigation company will accomplish their mission ? " was asked. "That Is attributing to me powers- second sight , which I do not possess , " r < piled Mr. Clark. "They should bo able t agrc . but whether they will or not is quit a different matter. The present demands < Mr. McNelll , the receivers believe , are 01 ot alt reason , but ( t may be pretty hard fc Messrs. Mink and Anderson to make M McNoIll see It In that way. Mr. Lomax hi been In Portland for three weeks and mon and ha gone over with Mr. McNelll It main groundu for the Union Pacific's refusi to agree to the blanket division proposei Messrs , Mink and Anderson will follow M Mr. Loin ax's arguments with Mr. McNol and attempt the formation of an agreemei upon more conservative lines. " "Can you eay anything looking to the ri irEAUlzatton of the Union Pacific property ! ihe reporter asked. REORGANIZATION NOT IN SIGHT. "That Is one ot the matters In conncctlc with this property that I know little abou t know what the government directors recon niond , but I anticipate there will bo conslde fble trouble In making the public bellei hat the recommendation of the directors for the best Interest of all concerned. I e not look , however , for the passage of tt Rellly bill at the coming session of congres but anticipate the Introduction of a bill en bodying the main features ot the report mac by the government directors. However , i I said before , the reorganization will only 1 accomplished after a full and frcfl dlscusslc and rests with the legislators , not with tl receivers or directors. " Mr. Clark reiterated , his denial , made omo of the western papers , that changi wore contemplated In the general super ! ) tendency of the Nebraska division. "Wo a not contemplating any changes. The road ' running very smoothly , there Is'no frlctli whatever and everybody seems satisfied th wo are doing qulto as well aa our compel tors. " IMtKPAUINCl I'Oll WAll.

The lines of the Wet crn Passenger association are now makli preparations for a big fight with the Ca. : adan | Pacific on emigrant business. The abs lute refusal ot that road to entertain ai thought ot reducing Its commission rate , ai the failure yesterday ot the western roads coma to any agreement with the See lln leaves the association lines nothing to do b to go alter the business and to get U In tl best way they And possible. As matters tic stand , the western roads are confident tl trunk lines will stand' with them In t ! tight , and as they hayo the co-operation the Grant ! Trunk already assured they cou with confidence on making their fight 01 ot all the Amer'can roads , aided by t Grand Trunk , against the Canadian 1'acK They will probably In a short tlmo put tht commission rates on westbound emigrant bu Incss. BO high that the Canadian Pacific w have to elevate Its commission rates , will arenlread heavy , to a point where there w bo little or no profit In tha business for t Canadian Pacific.

The lodges In the eastern part o the stata have felt for some time that I woa their duty to relieve In some way th suffoilngs of their less fortunate brcthro : In the west.

YOUK COUNTYFAHUEK8. . In Fulr Condition unit 'One Oooil Crop Wll | VBKm Plenty. YORK , Neb. , Nov. 17. ( Special. ) The con ditlon of the farmers of York county , whll not bright , fs not as bad as It was cxpccte < that It would be. The fact that they hai raised but little small groin and little or n corn cast a shadow over their prospects o going through the winter unaided. It Is tru that a few , being too hard pressed by cred itors , claimed protection by setting them selves up as exempt under the laws of th state. This was only done In a few cases however. There Is no doubt that most o the 'farmers will bo compelled to borrow money to llvo on through the winter , but a the majority hold real estate It will bo n Inconvenience to them to do BO. While mos r have some stock on hand , the greater portlo ; r of the horses In good condition were bough up and shipped east. This was done by th Implement , carriage and buggy dealers mor especially , they exchanging farm Implement 1 for the horses. What else they have ca 1 easily be fed on fodder , of which they hav an abundance. Most of the renters of farm will hold their present places. The greates difficulty for them will bo the purchasing c seed for their spring sowing , and how thi will bo accomplished by all Is only a matte of guess work. Summing' all up , while th farmers of the county are In a poor condl tlon , they are far better off than the average ago western 'farmer. ' A good crop would 111 the majority of them out of their prosen difficulty. IlooaUne Charge * Cuuio Trouble , BELLEVUE. Neb. , Nov. 17.

THERE'S ' MONEY IN CHICORY New Piold Opened to Nebraska Parmera Which Promises Great Profit , ITS SUCCESS ALREADY WELL TESTED experience of Holt County Growers Shown the Itoot Can lie Itnlsod la the Ante * lope State Magnitude of the lluslucss Is hurprlslngr. Whllo every citizen of Nebraska takes great Interest In the sugar beet Industry , they lose sight ot another new cnterprlsa that promises almost as much for the stato. The only time on record when Ell' Perkins was taken at his word was when he pointed out to the people of O'Neill that that portion of Nebraska was especially adapted to the culture of chicory. Upon his advice a com pany was formed and the growing and man ufacture ot chicory became a reality. While this enterprise has not been advertised to any great extent , and very little has been written upon the subject , the business has boon made a success. It has been demon strated beyond a doubt , that chicory Is a profitable crop for Nebraska farmers , and that with a llttlo encouragement thousands of acres of land In this state could be made very remunerative , while employment would be given to a very large number of people In growing and manufacturing. O. C. Hazelct , secretary of the German Chicory company of O'Neill , says that 1.800 acres were planted to chicory in this state the past season. In 1893 COO acres were planted , and In 1892 100 acres. This will stye some Idea of the growth of the bus iness. There are only three other states In the union that have attempted to grow chicory , New Jersey , Michigan and Wiscon sin. The two states first mentioned had a crop this past season ot 500 acres each , whllo Wisconsin planted only 100 acres. The chicory plant appears to be peculiarly adapted to Nebraska. ' Mr. Hazelet says that if there Is sufficient moisture In the ground to terminate the seed and keep the plant growing for two weeks , there is no crop that will stand successfully as much drouth. During the past season the chicory fields were not planted as early as they should have been , and just about the time the plants were appearing above ground the hot winds came on and cut them down. PROMISES GREAT PROFIT. . During an ordinary year eight to ten ton : ot roots per acre Is considered a fair yield when planted like sugar beets. In rows six teen to eighteen Inches apart. The man ufacturers pay $9 per ton for the green root : delivered at the factory. It will bo noted from this that the crop is- ono that will naturally commend Itself to the farmers It Is a crop that will pay for the land upor which It Is raised every year , when the con- dltlons are such that It Is possible to grow any kind ot a crop. Chicory will appear to most people as e crop of very little Importance , but when II Is known that the United States Imports an nually $8,000,000 worth of this commodlt ) It will assume a very different aspect. Wher It Is taken Into consideration that 200 peopli were required to handle thet comiiarotlvel ) small crop ot Nebraska the possibilities o : this Industry are brought out very forcibly Business men who have Investigated the sub Ject -claim that there Is no reason why Nebraska braska should not grow all or nearly til o : the chicory that Is Imported Into the Unltet States from Europe , All that It requires li the proper amount of encouragement. Tin manufacturers would say that the best wa ] to encourage this Important Industry Is foi every consumer of clilcory and for every mer chant handling It to see to It that they ge the Nebraska article. If this U done then will bo such a demand for the Nebraska product that those who are now engaged li the business will Increase the product o their factory , and capitalists will not bi long In putting up additional factoriei vrhei it Is once found that there U a market foi more than the state li already producing. NOT AN ADULTERANT. Chicory Is not , as It U commonly regarded an adulterant for coffee , but , on the con trary. U a legitimate article ot commerce and Is preferred by many people to coffee It Is really a substitute ( or coffee , and 1 pronounced a fir more healthy drink thai coffee by physicians , It being especlall ] recommended for persons with weak stem achs. So. ImportantIB the chicory trade that In its last publication of consular reports th United States government gives a report ol the American consul at Ghent on tbo con * ditlon of the business In Belgium. Some Idea may bo gained of the growth of the bus- I ness from the fact tlmt In 1889 Belgium ex ported to thla country chicory valued at $11,1GG , while In 1893 the exports from that country to the States amounted to $129CC2. The chicory of commerce Is manufactured from the chicory root , which resembles tht parsnip very much , being a long , white root. The process of manufacutre consists slmplj In cleaning , drying and grinding the roots. Another Convict Ktcnprg from the Wyoming IVnltontlary During n Snnnr Htorm. LARAMIE , Wyo. , Nov. 17.
