8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUKDAY , JULY 28 , 1805. PUSHING THE WORK ALONG Order Succeeds Ohaos at the State Fair Grounds. SIGHTS SEEN AT NEBRASKA'S ' WHITE CITY Iliirc 1'rnlrlc HPCOIIIFN n I'litrc of Ileniil- , Whore Klntc Korii AVI II In AH "t HIM 1'rlilu mill ( Those who visited the state fair grounds a week ago would bs astonished at the won derful changes which have been wrought there within the pant seven days. The m&ta- norphoso has been both rapid an effective. If a view of the grounds was Impressive one week ago , It will be found enchanting today , especially as you approach from the south east , via the nuser park road. Here Is commanded a wider and more comprehen sive and Imposing view of the whole en closure than from any other quarter , and that , too , notwithstanding you are looking at the same from the valley , Instead of the hill top. Ileglnnlng with the race course , with Its beautiful ellipse of lawn , broad paddock , ornamental Judges' Mand , turreUd amphitheater , headquarters , checking depots and stables ; then the long , sloping , grassy acclivity , running like a fairy rampart char round to the Elmwood park entrance , with the white city glistening In midsummer's blazing Eim like so many enchanted palaces of another land upon Its crest , Every building In the place has at last assumed Its perfect symmetry , and all but ono. or two have received their second coat of paint , and so far ns the extrlor goss , are as good as finished , thus completing the effectiveness of the picture. DROUGHT ORDER OUT OP CHAOS. Superintendent Overbeck Is certainly mak ing hay whllo the sun shines. A week ago tills magic city was In a crude state , with buildings bristling with partially covered roofs , vacant portals and casements , tin- palntcd sides with a heterogeneous litter of lumber and building materials every whore environing. None of these embryotlc condl tlons are visible today. Each structure stands a completed monument In Itself , the debris of carpenter , plasterer , * ro'jfer and tinner has been swept away , and hidden from sight ; the buildings shine In their snouy coatB of tfhlte , timl an air of Ilnlsh is everywhere presented. Of course there yeb remains a vast amount ofork to be done , but what has been so fur accom- plljjhed has been done thoroughly , even to cleaning up. This Is certainly a wise plan and means a caving of time and confusion In the long run. It looks now as If the state fair were going to bo a gigantic event , and as successful as all Nebraska could wish It. The grounds and buildings arc certilnly lht > fijiul of any state fair buildings In point of architectural beauty and durability uf finish In the whole broad west , and all the other conditions arc eminently favorable and growing more so with each passing day. The thotoughncsJ of the work thus far done , the high average of excellence which characterizes the whole general plan , the perfect Inrmony of action which prevails within the whole working force and the blight outlook which the re vival of business offers to the great enter tainment ns well as.to . every other Industry , make the prospect of a glorious triumph almost certain , Perseverance , Industry and money will accomplish almost anything , and as Nebraska and Omaha have plenty of all these , the above prediction will bo verified If the public does Us part. There must be an art atmosphere In the community as well as In the sky for an artist to do all that U possible within him , and so It U with our Eltto fair , rubllo approval , appreciation and assistance must furnish the management the encouragement and the pcrseveranpo to carry this grand enterprise Into successful achieve ment. HERE THEY VIRW THE SPEEDERS. Under Superintendent Swlgert's supervision the race track Is rapidly assuming a finished look and wltn the completion of the buildings In contemplation Omaha will have one of tlu best equipped race courses In the Unltei States. The ampltheater and judges' stand will rerelvo their finishing strokes In less than ten days , after which the big force o ; workmen's whole attention will be devotee to the perfection of the track. In another year the race association hopes to bo war ranted In building a club house , which wll be modern In all details , following the colonial style , with lunch counter and dining rooms , pantry , kitchen , store and toilet room ; conveniently arranged and provided with al the modern appointments. Tlie ampltheater Is now all under roof ant the carpenters are engaged In topping off the whole with a showy tower , or dome , from which a magnificent view can be obtained o the whole surrounding country. The prom enade will have an area of 40x350 feet ant will give the spectators an opportunity for a little exercise between heats and races. The track Is being constructed with a view to fast work. The home stretch Is about eighty and the remainder about seventy feet wide The stretch Is to .have a measurement of over 1,000 feet. A perfect system of drainage , a full water supply and a electric plant will be added features to this special enterprise. The Judges' stand , Immediately fronting the center aisle of the grandstand , has been built on the pagoda style and Is a bit o artistic finish to the tout ensemble of track and structures. The work of pudding the fence , enclosing the fair grounds , Is we ) under way , the whole north sldo being up It Is of wire , In panels , and Is both orna mental and substantial. Graders will be pu to work bn all the entrance avenues am drives Inside the grounds Immediately , the court Is to bo gotten under way at once am by the middle of August the state fair grounds will be as good as done.

MOVKD TO THE M4W HOME. ; I'liicc fur ClrlH of Sciuiill- nuvliiu I The Scandinavian Lutheran School and Young Woman's Home has been removed to 2018 Davenport street , and Miss Maria Hoi nass placed In charge. The home was formerly located at Thirty- third and Cumlng , and subsequently at 1813 Cass street , but as the membership Increases It became necessary to move to more com modious quarters. Miss Holnass , with n competent corps ol assistants , proposes to teach new recruit' ' English , housekeeping , dress making and the higher branches of cooking. All members of the home must be mem bers of some Scandinavian Protestant church The home has a library containing both English and Scandinavian books. There are reading and writing rooms and all the ad vantages of a girls' club. The home has a board of ten directors , a manager , sccroturj ami treasurer. The support of the home Is derived from the employment bureau. The object of the establishment is mainly of a benevolent character , and the rates charged 'are barely sufficient to cover actua running expenses. The women backing the scheme have nut limited themselves to providing a Christian homo for working girls , but have also a school for children located at Fifth and Cen ter streets.

SPLENDID YIELD OF THE SEASON 'roMicetN QuiteriiittcrliiK for u 1'liie Ilcliirn I'VntiircK of the Worlc mill lion1 It In S J Comliictuil. The Valley Sugar Beet company has demon strated clearly that beet raising In Douglas county IH not only practical , but yields greater profits to the farmers than any other crop , with the possible exception of onion eels and a few varieties of garden seeds. The benefits u be derived from the culture of the sugar jeet In Nebraska , when the conditions ore avertible , are manifold , and have been dis cussed so much that every farmer In Douglas county , and the state for that matter , has a general knowledge of them. A representative of The Bee was recently shown over the Valley Sugar lleet company's : CO-acre field of growing vegetables by Super- ntendent E. Ewel. A prettier sight Is Bel- lom presented. The beef plantation if such t may be called Is situated one and a half miles northeast of Valley. On the day In question the sight which met the visitor's view was one of busy activity. At work in th - field were fifty Russians , male and fe male , old and young. The crop was li.elng "laid by , " and It was the last day but ono when that task would DO completed. The sun- jronzed , hardy Russians were literally hump ing themselves putting on the llnlshlng touches. Sugar beet culture In Douglas county has passed the experimental period , and last spring when the Valley Sugar lleet company was Incorporated It was for the purpose of making a practical demonstration of that fact and Incidentally adding a'lew dollars to the stockholders' bank accounts. The personnel of the beet growers' ass-clatlon Is as follows- A. P. Aherlimd , president ; H. M. Puffer , secretary and treasurer ; Mons Johnson , Frank Richards , W. G. Whltmorc , Frank Whltmore , Alex Gardiner , Charles Hyurs , John Hempstead , A. A. Egbert. C. P. Pedersen - son , L. P. Bynrs , W. E. Weekly , George Springer , E. S. Flor , J. M. Williams , John Rled and J. V. Orr , stockholders and di rectors. Superintendent Ewcl , In speaking of the Industry , said : SCIENCE OF AGRICULTURE. "The great progress the science of agricul ture has miidc In those countries where the culture of the sugar beet has been introduced , I am feorry to say , Is not fully known In America , simply because the farmers do nof give It sufllclcnt consideration. The main point of the beet sugar industry Is the cul ture of the beet , and growers should under stand thoroughly all conditions of Its culture. While practical experience counts In sugar beet culture as well as other branches of hus bandry , It Is absolutely necessary that the growers , in order to make the business profitable and meet the exigencies of circum stances , should keep posted at all times on the progress of the science of the art. "Tho leaves of the beet are to It what the lungs arc to the human race. Through them nourishment Is conducted to the plant. The sugar content and the growth of the beet depends wholly on the size and number of the leaves of the plant. The functions of the leaves start as soon as the first spear of the plant breaks through the soil. During the first period of the beet's growth the leaves are from eight to ten times heavier In weight than the beet proper. By the end of July , however , the relative proportions of the leaves and roots , respectively , are about three to one , and by the last of August the weight of foliage and roots are equal. And by har vest time the beet Is from four to six times as heavy as the leaves. " The beets grown In the vicinity of Valley are known as the Klein < Wanzelben and according to President Akerlund and Superintendent ' intendent Ewel 'of the Valley association , both of whom have had a number of years practical experience growing beets , both In this and the old country , the Klein Wanzel- ben Is best adapted to the soil and climate of Nebraska. This beet Is a cross between the Imperial and Vllmorln and Is noted among growers for weight and sugar con tent. tent..Last .Last spring , after the Valley stock company was organized , Mr. Ewel came to Valley from Grand Island and took charge of the preliminary arrangements. After the ground was prepared and planted a colony of Rus sians , consisting of nlno families , came from Hastings and tended the crop on contract at $12 per acre. The colony was here about ten weeks and earned about $10 per capita. The rich , sandy loam of the Platto-Elk- liorn bottoms Is specially adopted to growing sugar beets and a sugar beet factory Is among the possibilities for Douglas county next season. To warrant the building of a factory , however. It Is necessary for the farmers to contract and grow 3,600 or 1,000 acres of the sugar producing vegetables. However , whether there Is a factory built In the Douglas county beet district or not , beets will be grown next year on a much larger scale than this. FARMERS ARE SATISFIED. The campaign Just closing has been most satisfactory to the Douglas county farmers and It Is confidently believed now that there will be no trouble whatever next season ol contracting a bufliclent acreage of beets throughout the- county to warrant the es tablishment of a factory wtthlu Its borders. To grow beets successfully , according to Mr. Ewel , It Is necessary to plow the beet ground In the fall , the deeper the better , according to circumstances and the depth ol the black loam. The seed should be sown as early in the spring as possible * after the ground has become warm enough to start vegetation. The beet seed is a small ball that contains from one to fix seed grains , and If 100 of thesj balls germinate 150 plants the seed Is considered good. Satis factory results have been obtained with seed eight years old , but It Is not best to plant seed older than three years. The seed Is drilled In rows by a machine constructed for that purpose , and while It is not drilled deeper than three-quarters of an Inch , It Is pressed firmly Into the ground. "With favor able weather the seed germinates quickly anil the plants grow rapidly. The successful beet growers keep the soil open and airy and do not allow a weed to find lodgment In their fields. Nebraska soil yiloduess beets that aref strong and healthy and able to stand a moderate siege of hot winds and drouth , and should be "thinned out , " leaving only about eight or ten Inches between the- growing plants. The thinning Is commenced when the plant Is the thickness of a straw and Is rushed until the field Is gone over , as It has been demonstrated that the earlier the beets are thinned the bet ter. In several notable Instances the tonnage has been Increased from two to three tons per acre. Repeated hoeing U beneficial to the growth and quality of the beets and It Is necessary to hoe them at least three times. AS TO CULTIVATION. The ground bot\seen the rows Is stirred with cultivators that are equipped with four straight shovels. Four rows are plowed at once and the hoeing and cultivating are carried on simultaneously until the leaves of the growing plants com pletely cover the ground. An authority on the culture of sugar beets finds that beets hoed one time will yield , on an average , seven tons per acre ; two times , eight tons ; three times , eleven tons ; four times , twelve and one-half tons and five times , thirteen tons. The fields at Valley were hoed four tlities and as a consequence are as "clean" as a thrifty housewife's flower bed and wll yield from eighteen to twenty tons of beets per acre when harvested October first. The beets are pulled by a machine and topped In the field by boys and girls. The tops make excellent feed for milch cows. Placed in silo they can bo fed until grass comes In the iprlng. They will average aboul four tons to the acre. One hundred and slxlj acres of tops will feed forty cows from fall until spring. When sold to a dairyman or others the tops bring $1 per ton. That Douglas county Is entering' upon a new era of prosperity and that besides paying a lar ! ? er cent OJ * no taX assessed { , ; SUsar pountlcs , her yoemen , in the future , will grow * the sugar beet extensively , can not be gainsaid.

AiliiniN Talks at tin- fluid Fliidn In Wyoming. "New gold fields , " said J. B. Adams , "are located In what Is known as the Four-Mile district , Rcutt county , Colorado , about seventy miles south of Hawllns , Wyo. , which Is the nearest railroad point. The deposit covers a tract some twenty miles long by about twelve miles In width , but , of course , It does not average all alike. The Dry Gulch property , containing about 1,500 acres , is very rich , and Is owned by a syndicate of Rhcde Island men , who have awarded a contract for the construction of a ditch at a cost of $150,000. E. A. Green , the contractor , now has over 100 teams at work , and has agreed to have the ditch completed not Uter than October IS. "The Rock Springs company has constructed a ditch seventeen miles long , which furnisher some COO Inches of water for about seventy- five days each season. This company has a model plant , and made -a very satisfactory showing In 1831-5. William Wilson , Tom Booth and others have smalt plants , which are giving returns which surprised even the owners. John HarJenburgh & Co. , opened a small plant this summer , from which they received large returns. But the most phenomenal ground thus far discovered Is on what is known aa the 'Tlmberlake. ' This location embraces about 1,500 acres , and Is certainly the most promising placer property discovered since the eventful days of ' 49. This property has been prospected most thor oughly , over 200 pits having been sunk to bed rock , and no ono will dispute the statement that the ground will average more than 50 cents per cubic yard. The owners of the lai > t named property are the discoverers and loca tors. John Hardenburgh and Hugh Morrison own the Morning and Evening Star. William Nelson , Thomas Booth , William Booth , L. Calvert , John Easum , Sumner Porter , Clar ence Hays , John W. Darr , S. B. Bennett and others own the balance of this rich property The location Is such that the tailings are washed down into Tlmberlako , which has a fall of nearly thirty feet to the mile , thence Into Four-Mile creek , which carr'cs them Into the Snake river. There are no trees , stumps , boulders or other obstructions cf any kind whatever to Interfere with the rapid and suc cessful working of the property. The only drawback Is the scarcity of water , which can only bo had by constructing a ditch some thirty miles In length , which the owners are without funds to do. "A few figures will bring to mind the great value" of this property. There are 4,840 cubic yards to the acre , and as the pay gravel will average four yards In depth , each acre con tains 19,300 cubic yards , which , at the low estimate of GO cents , shows a value of $9,080 , or a total for the 1,600 acres of the enormous sum of $14,620,000. "The cost of the construction of a ditch ready to put water on the ground would leave a net profit of $14,120,000. Experts claim that with 3,000 Inches of water , 9,000 cubic yards of gravel can bo washed each twenty-four hours , "and that the Income from the property would bo $4,500. "Thus It will be seen that this property will pay the entire purchase price , cos > t of ditch and all running expenses , the first year , and leave a clear profit of $250,000. Few people give the question of the enormous profits of operating mines the attention It deserves. They have heard of some friend who made an unfortunate Investment In some 'wild cat' mlno and this discourages them. A placer mine can be examined In such a manner that no chance of loss can possibly exist. "Good ore is also being found In the Savery mountains , as well as the Battle Lake coun try. A stamp mill \a \ In successful operation at the Penn mine In the iiemlnolo Mining dis trict , about thirtyfivemiles north of Raw Hns , whllo other valuable leads ore Idle for lack of capital to eroot mills. "Large deposits of Iron , coal and asbestos are also found In the -vicinity of Hawllns , while that country Is noted for Its soda lakes , building stone , marble , lithographing stone and paint ore. " _ One .11 a n to Do tlie AVorU of Two. City Treasurer Dnmont has appointed W. M. Carson of this citjv as bookkeeper In the treasurer's office , to succeed George Sleh and William Altstadt , resigned. Mr. Carson comes recommended'.as a first class book keeper and the petition for his appointment Is signed by a number of the bankers and leading business men of the city.

The legal department of the city has an elephant on Its hands in the shape of a Judg ment of ouster which was rendered In dis trict court yesterday against Mrs. Sulli van. The suit had been pending for some time , but now that the city has been suc cessful the officials are looking for a way to execute It without Inflicting nu unusual hard ship on the people Interested. Mrs. Sullivan Is the proprietor of a small louse , a potato patch and n fence , alt of which are located on North Eighteenth street Just south nf the old fair grounds. For a long time past the city has unsuccess fully used moral suasion to Induce Mrs. Sulli van to move her possessions off the public street , but that woman has a will of her own , and so far she has stubbornly resisted all attempts at peaceful eviction. Finally the city applied to the court for a writ of ouster , whtcii was expected to settle all dllll- culllcs. Thn writ Is now In the hands of the assistant city attorney , who Is confronted with an unexpected problem. The document gives the city authority to remove the shanty and the potato patch , but where they are to be moveJ to Is a question. Mrs. Sullivan Is smart enough to realize the strength of her position and will not provide any place to which she would consent to have her habltctlou transferred. The au thorities cannot very well move them on to any of the adjoining property , which Is owned by other parties , and they do not like to tear the building down , s that would ap pear llko an unnecessary hardship , ami a lot of people who dearly love to .bo charitable when their own Interests are not concerned wouH be likely to create a rumpus on ac count of such procedure. The result Is that Mrs. Sullivan still remains mistress of the situation , the order of the court notwith standing , and there Is a writ of ouster In the assistant city attorney's olllco which he wishes was at the bottom of the Missouri. rilAU.tlACKUTIcTn ASSOCIATION.
