The original motion adopting the resolutions WAS then carried , Bert Mofcr , vlco president from the Third district , was then called to the chair. L. I ) Jlocbirds read a letter from ex-Senator Man derson , which was a Atrong plea for a bounty or government protection to the sugar pro duclng business. The refining trust and the foreign sugar producers were nil combined and working against the American sugar In dustry. Hen. C. L. Greene mas then Introduced am spoke upon the subject of "The Duty of the Nation In Regard to the Sugar Industry. ' Ho said that while this was to some extent a political qufcstlon , It must finally be settled by the great Jury of 70,000,000 citizens. The question Is whether It Is a wise , sound policy for the government to aid an Industry that promises so much. We pay $120,000,000 In Hold for sugar every year , thereby reducing ur resources to tint extent , and are brought Into competition with the cheap labor of for eign countries and the $30.000,000 In bounties they parHe spoke of the capital employed In bringing In foreign sugar and In Its pro duction. The consumption of sugir pjr cap.ta has Increased In twenty years from twenty- four pounds to sixty-seven pounds. The duty of the nation to every Industry Is precisely the same , whether sugar , wool or lumber. Ono object of the adoption of the constitu tion was to cnablo us to pass kws which would protect nnd give an Impetus to our commercial and Industrial Interests. The first congress that met took up the matter of protection by moans of Import dutle * , and bills were enacted protecting by a tariff taw the Industries of the various states. ARGUES FOR PROTECTION. Ho then gave a brief outline of the action of the first congress In protecting and fostsr- Ing American enterprises. All the republican picsldents have been protectionists. The prlrclple of protection lias been thoroughly established by all the great statesmen of this country nnd has become n fixed principle of our national policy. The dem crallo party , up to Its last convention , advocated protective- tariff reform , The greater part of Mr. Greene's address was an argument for a protective tariff. Ho quoted from newspapers of tlio time nnd gpecchps of stnte'tncn to show that the hard times of 183C-1S37 were due to a low tariff and that hard times lasted till Taylor was Im-ugurated. In 1842 , and a high tariff was enacted. The prosperity under low tariff In 1840 was due to other conditions , the discov ery of gold In California , the Crimean war and other causes. Labor In Europe costs one-half to one- third what It dofs In this country. The cost of labor determines the cost of production , but the cost of production-docs not determine the market price. For this reason Europe can usurp our Industries , defeat our Indus tries , flood our markets , at n price less than cost and when they have overcome compe tition , fix a prlco to suit themselves. Mr. Greene's speech was frequently Inter rupted by loud applause from some parts of the audience. ' LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE NAMED. Pursuant to the resolutions , the president announced the following legislative commit tee : R. W. Furnas of Brownsville. W. G. Whltmoro of Valley. P. Janren of Falrbury , J. B. Cofsna of Hastings , C. II. Cornell of Valentine and B. W. Reynolds of Fremont. The president of tlio association , Mr , H. M. Allen of Ames , then read a carefully studied and well worded paper on "Probabilities for Nebraska.Mr. . Allen has devoted a great deal of tlmo and research to the problems In volved In boot culture nnd his paper was a very valuable ono. He did not think wo could ralao richer beets In Nebraska than anywhere else In this country. Our Ne braska sugar boots were characterized by a large yield per acre , perhaps at the ex pense of that somewhat elusive quantity , the sugar content. The cultivation of the beet requires close care and attention. Mr. Allen advocated a duty Instead of bounty , but did not caro' to fix the amount of what ho considered a suitable duty. Tlio per capita consumption of sugar In continental Europe It not increasing , but is rapidly In this country. Nebraska ia situated near other cattle and stock raising countries , nnd the by-pioducts of the sutar factories , tcp3 , pulp , etc. , c-n ba utilized In fattening flock. { The .farmers are now receiving a higher p'rlco lot their beets than any qfjjpr facfory , bU& & owlns tq freight rate * they don't got 'tho beifctri of It. Hon. J. S. Hoagland of North Platte spoke on "Stato Legislation. " He considered It a rather dclloato question to dlscuiM , for the opponents of a bounty had what they thought good and valid reasons for kicking. "We have hero a now and but partly de veloped Industry. From whatever part of this state a citizen comes , ho Is Interested In having the state produce as many com modities as possible as uro consumed hero. In other words , a prosperous state , which Is as nearly as possible self-supporting. WP got from other states most of what wo con sume , except meat , vegetables and grain. If by each ono 'chipping In' and paying his small share of the Increased tax , by reason of a bounty upon any Industry , we can greatly add to the amount expended In ouf state , wo are that much benefited. The beet sugar Industry raises the price of land values wealth beyond that of any vthor in dustry. " Mr. Hoagland did not favor the district bond plan for building factories , advocated by Mr. Fort. Ho , advocated a change In our law for organizing corporations , by which every stockholder would have an equal voice In all questions arising , except that of elec tion of officers. Ho thought our laws or. the subject sufficiently broad to provide for whatever form of corporation deemed de sirable. WHITMORE'S ADVICE TO KICKERS. Vice President Mapes called the evening session to order at 8 p. m. and Introduced Hon. W. G. Whltemore of Valley , who read a paper on the subject "What Now ? " Ho regarded this convention as the most Im portant of any that has convened In this state slnco. that which prepared our consti tution. Wo may well congratulate ourselves and return to our homes with this senti ment , "Nebraska Is the place and sugar beets the stuff. " Men differ because thn facts which form the basis of their Judgment ore not understood by them alike. Il failed to see how tlrtiso people who had signed a contract with the Oxnards to ralsx ) beets of n certain standard of purity and1 tac- charinc content could kick because the com pany refused to take bscls which did not reach that standard. Ho did not' believe that the Oxnards would pursue a coin-so which must Inavitahly lead to failure , and the kicking of certain parties ho ascribed to the .old tendency which began In the Garden of Eden. The other fellow did It. The discussions which had urluvn here , he foil rum , would reconcile' the differences ex isting between the producer and the manu facturer. Ho ascribed thn failure of the valley beet syndicate to the fact that their beets dd ! not ripen , and that tbo land was , riot In the best condition for their growth And development of their Sugar qualities/ The convention was unanimous on one ques tion. That was that Nebraska H naturally and peremptorily adapted to the beet sugar Industry. Wo want further supervision of the factories by having th ? analytls made by' slate chemlsto , who arc In nowise' In- t cfsted In the factories. When this Is1 ac- coiiplfshcd ) , and the farmnr lm the same ilegroa of oonfidcnco when he sends a load of beets to the fn.ctory.tlmt ho will receive the fair treatment ho would receive were ho to takea load of corn to an elevator , then the Industry would advance. Mr. Whltmoro's paper received the closest atton- tlon from his mull once , especially that part referring to. tho.io whom 1m denominated klckcts. BOUNTY MUST UK PAID. M. A. Lund then read a paper on "How to Secure Beet Sugar Factories. " Ho const 1- eroil o ttato and national bounty as an Im portant element to bo consldcrtd.

Neb. , Feb. 6. ( Special , ) Al though the cessions of the first annual meet ing of the Northeastern Nebraska Horticul tural society were not largely attended , there were enough present to nuke the dlreusalons of great Interest to thwo not especially In terested In horticulture , nnd of very marked Interest to those who woro. The meeting waa not called to order until Tuealny after noon at 1:30 : , when the sound of the gavel of President John Taanahlll ot Columbus can DM silence and the business was at once begun , reports of the secretary , treasurer and president bolng the first work. Of these the president's was of the most Importance , ho reporting that the first meeting was held nt Leigh , Nob. , June 12 , 1S95 , when organization was made In a district composed ot Colfax , Stanton , Madison and Platte counties. The second mooting waa held at Madison , Neb. , at which It was decided that an exhibit of fruit at the Madleon county fair bo arranged , which exhibit proved to bs a great success , nearly BOO plates of fruit being exhibited , composed ot live varieties of grapes , seven of plums , two of peaches , ten of pears nnd thirty-two of npploa , by sixty-ono exhibitors. He recommended the selection of pno member from each county to arrange exhibits at county fairs , and of a committee to assist and work In conjunction with the committee of the State Horticultural society to effect the passage of a "puro food bill. " INTEKESTED IN FRUIT. Although there wore papers upon many other subjects , the ones bearing upon the cultivation of fruit and all other sorts of trees , their cultivation , propagation end his tories ot succesea or failures , hold Interest at all times. O. A. Marshall of Arlington read a paper upon the "Need ot Horticultural Societies , " which elicited a discussion upon apple trees , and there were many present who had failed to succeed with them and were full of questions to bo answered by tlioso who had been successful. The nuln complaints wore of the failure to get trees to live , the cxpcrlenco of nearly all ques tioners being that they could not get them to live to exceed ten years , and the causes of this wore best explained by J. P. Dunlap of Dwlght , who demonstrated that more depended upon the pubsoll than anything elfo. Ho mild that there were two subsoils that the roots of most trees would not pene trate. The first he termed Joint cliy. a hard substance , with black veins through it , stat ing that apple tree roots would grow to and then spread over the surface of It , thus : elng left with no moisture from which to draw- In season of drouth. Over this same Joint clay , cherry trees would do well. The second ho termed concrete , stating that it existed In the Platte valley In many places very near the surface , at others deep down , and that when dry , or when used in the construction ot roads , It was almost as hard and Im penetrable as concrete. The death of shade and fruit treoa In this vicinity having bwn mentioned. It was demonstrated that there Is much of the con crete oub93ll underlying the portion of the Platte v-alley in this county , and that In dry- est times there lies very close under the subsoil an abundant supply of water. PECULIAR SOILS , The qondltlonsTncntloned were proven by testimony of somet who noticed them during the excavating for the bat ment of a new building In course of construction hero. Roots from trees llfty feet .or more away permeated the soil , but only to a slight depth , which lopth was found to bo governed by the upper jurfaco of an extremely dry , hard soil under- ylng two to three feet of black , sandy loam. Upon suggestion that Kind for the bulldlnp iio taken from the bottom of the basament excavation , thp hard subsoil mentioned was dug through and water In abundance found at a depth of eighteen Inches , or a total depth of five feet from the surface. Mr. Dunlap said that the only thins that would warrant success was the digging or boring through such subsoils or breaking It up by the use ot dynamite. Ho also gave an Interesting talk upon the subject of "tap" roots , the care and preservation of which fs w > much harped upon by the average - ago tree fiend , stating that not only tut root direct down from the graft wag not likely to be a treo'o tap root , but that a root out In any direction f > om the scion or oven a root from this root , though many feet away , might develop Into the tap root for the reason that It might strike Into soil moro congenial to Its development ar such. such.C. C. F. Drown detailed his exporlenco with olxty apple trees on sand loam and black , cold soli underlaid with whlto sand , and with water at two to five feet , stating that tils trees set out eight years ago were dead He aeked Why It was , nml proceeded to an swer with a theory cf hla own that he pre sented to the department at Washlng/oii scmo years since , but which was not ac corded with , that the 'atmospheric and elec- : rlcal conditions were such : U the time of ; ho putting forth of the tender growths n thu early summer as to Kill the young shooli , leaving them , and evcji the trunks' of the troeo , blackened and marked as though struck by Untuning. His theory was not approved , and he was advlsid to plant no trees upon that sort of ground. OTIItiR POINTS CONSIDERED. Other points brought out were : cultivation .should bo continued up to the beginning of winter , ospoclally In dry season ; not after August In wet season ; glvo orchards pro- action from south winds of summer , also protection on west , and put them on north . l pes of hills ; trees may be protected from jllght by a board or pleco of building pa per on southwest side , or by wrapping trunk with burlap ; average life of orchards In Nebraska , twenty years , If properly cure. !

Neb. , Feb. 6. ( Special. ) Whllo the vicinity of Crete was the first point when so-called gold discoveries were made during the fall of last year , there has been little done over the matter. For several months past Lee Norrls has quietly pros pected for a gold find on his farm , adjoining this city on the northeast. Samples of so- called pay dirt have been sent to assay of fices In Denver , Omaha and Boston. The as says differed widely on some samples , reachIng - Ing from G2 cents to J3.CO per ton ot sand. To test the sand Norrls had sluice boxes built , under the supervision ot practical min ers. These boxes arc 100 feet long ; and made In sections. Those were put In posi tion In this city , so that the whole force of the city water system could bo brought In use. Yesterday twenty-four tons of the gold- bearing : sand was hauled to town and shov eled In the reservoir at the head of the sluice boxes. All day a hose with a nozzle attached playoJ upon the sand and floated the dirt through the boxes. The boxes were put up with a fall of about eight feet. Yes terday evening the cleaning up process be gan , nnd It now remains to bo seen how much pay gold cm be found In the rem nants of the twenty-four tons of sand. That there Is a sprinkling of gold In the sand no one of any experience in the matter deiMes , but If of paying quantity remains to be seen. Norrls Intends to find out for certain If there Is any truth In the gold finds In this vicinity. If there is , ho will work the find to a finish. _ CONDITION OP TIIK STATE HANKS.
