NKHHASKA CITY. Neb. , Dec. 23. ( Spe
cial. ) In reply to the question , What Is the
most attractive buslncws opening tor cap I
italists In your town , together with the rc.i-
bens why , Mayor 0. N. Nelson of Nebraska
Clly said :
"Nebraska Cily needs nnd wnuts factories
of all kinds , particularly those that use our
farm products. We have good railroad fa
cilities , affording Missouri river rates , rents
nro low and living IH cheap. The city Is
making an effort to reduce Indebtedness ,
which will bring the rate of taxation down
to the minimum.
"A strawboard and pupcr mill would do
well here , on account of a number of in-
duslrlcH that use largo quantities of this
material being already located here. A
distillery and glucose factory would pay ,
owing to cho.ip raw material , ns would also
a cracker factory , paving brick and tile
v orks , agricultural Implement factories , etc.
The agricultural Implements made here find
ready sale.
"Wo nro In the center of the fruit bell
and a cold storage plant to care for fruit ,
butter and eggs would pay well. A cream
ery , with skimming stations in the coun
try roundabout for a radius of twenty-five
miles , would prove a good Investment.
"I think wo can offer excellent Inducc-
itonts to capitalists to Invest money here.
Wo have many citizens who will assist ma
terially any enterprise that will utilize our
iinttirn ! resources. "
Klelil for it I'lioUlntr llonic.
HASTINGS , Neb. , Dec. 24. ( Special. ) In
nn interview with Mayor Flaher In regard
to the moHt attractive business opening In
Hastings , Mr. Fisher said that thcro IH not
a place In Nebraska that can begin to offer
the Inducements for a beet sugar factory
us can Hastings. Ho cites the fact that the
neil In Adams county IB peculiarly adapted
for the raising of sugar beets , as was proven
this year when the bouts raised In this
county went 19 per cent sugar and brought.
$3.25 per ton , when the contract called for
lint { -I per ton. This is the best showing of
any County In Nebraska , llcsldes this there
arc plenly of experienced beet raisers here ,
nearly 200 going lo the best fields
of Illinois last spring. There Is also a
firs I class Held hero for a packing house ,
as Hastings Is In the heart of the hog and
cattle-raising country nnd its shipping fa
cilities could hardly bo better. ' Mr. Flaher
also favored the/ erection of a brewery
the excellent quality of water nnd the
amount of hlgh-grndo barley raised In
Adams county warranting such an enter
prise. "

O'NEILL , . Neb. , Dec. 25. ( Special. )
"What Is the most attr'acllve business openIng -
Ing Tor capital In O'Neill ? " repealed Mayor
John 'A. Harmon In reply to the question
propounded to him by a llco reporter. "A
good hotel hulldlng by all means. "
"Why ? "
"Because O'Neill Is conceded by everyone
lo bo the best town between Norfolk and
the Black Hills ; because the local transient
hotel patronage demands and would pay
dividends on such an Investment ; because
the town has never had hotel accommoda
tions cominunsurala with its needs. lie-
member , 1 do not sny wo need new hotel
men. O'Neill has as good hotel men as
you can find anywhere ; -what I mean Is a
good , modern hotel building In ono of our
many good location ! ; . One with a store
room or two on the ground lloor , a barber
shop and bar , all of which could be leased
before the foundation was laid. A building
of fcnly-llvo or fifty rooms would probably
meet the requirements of the tiade. The
proprietor of the leading hotel , during the
fourteen years he bus been In the business
here , has paid out in rent for makeshift
buildings at least $12,000. It Is his opinion
that the right kind of a building would
Increase the business at least 50 per cent.
"The lack of the right kind of a hotel
building In O'Neill excites the surprise of
every stranger that happens in the city and
I regret that local capital has not organized
before this nnd deprived mo of the oppor
tunity of speaking for publication of the
city's shorlcomlngs In this respect , as wo
have other openings for money socking In
vestment. "

FHKMONT , Neb. . Dec. 25. ( Special. ) In
reply to Iho queutlon "What Is the most nt-
tiactlvo bitfilnciB openlni ; to capitalists In
your town , " Mayor F. W. Vni'ghn pays :
"It has been suggested Hint the clly could
operate In connection with Its electric
fight and water worlm systems a heating
plcnt. Such plants are run In connection
with electric llglu systems In Itcd Oak , MIs-
Kotirl Valley , Iowa Falls and Carroll , la. I
expect to bring the matter lo the attention
of the elty council. 1 have not examined
the law thoroughly to know whether our
statute authorizes Iho sumo or not. If It
docs , it has occurred to mo that the busi
ness holism could bo supplied with heat
nt a saving to them and a profit to the city
al no extra co.st for labor and a small extra
cost for fuel.
"lu case our statutes do not authorize such
operation by the city , 1 believe such n sy -
tem would bo a profitable one for wonio man-
ufncluring plant lo conduct in connection
with the Hiiiuo and It seems to mo that such
u law ought to be enacted , grunting thu
cities the power to operate heating plants
In conned Ion with electric light and water
works systems. As the steam that now is
lost could be used and all extra thai Is
required would be enlarged holler capacity
end IIH the city will bo compelled nexl sum
mer to put In now boilers of greater hor.su-
power lo furnish power for our steadlly-ln-
creasing electric light patrons , arrangements
could then bo made ulihout much additional
expense , except for laying mains. "

Mayor H. O. Hosteller i > aj :
"Had Ibis quebtlcn been asked me thirty

"Little Strokes

Ihe g&nis { of the forest must yield at

but mich n company with unlimited capital
tins r.ow been secured. This now company , i >
! together with the Kenrney Cotton Mill com- ,
1 imny. which controls the cntml anil water * '
power , will guarantee to the capitalist or
operator of machinery , constant power for
365 days In the yenr nnil nt a rate cheaper
than can bo obtained anywhere In the west.
The Kearney canal furnished constant water
power dining the la-t year with only about
eight days loss. The steam plant supple
ments the water and power Is assured to
drive any machinery from the sewing-ma
chine to the machinery of the most com
plicated manufacturing establishment.
"In connection with our rich soil and
natural products this cheap power furnishes
splendid business openings for capitalists
who desire to produce and create something.
A few examples of business enterprise that
would undoubtedly bo profitable here arc.
A sugar factory , cereal mill , paper mill ,
shoo factory , packing house , woolen mill ,
linseed oil mill and machine shops for rail
road companies , who could get power for
about one-third what they are nnw paying ,
The people of Kearney will extend a cordial }
welcome and lend hearty support to every
legitimate business enterprise that may lie
established here.

WASHINGTON. Pec. 25. The Wnr de
partment made public today n statement
'
showing the progress made In relief work
In the Island of Puerto lllco between Sep
tember 25 nnd November 23 , 1S)9. ! ) The pop
ulation of the Island Is estimated at D1S.02C. j I
The average dally Indigent was 221,057 persons - ' '
sons ; average weekly sick. 17,372. and the 1
average weekly deaths , 632 persons. The I I
annual death rate was 35 per 1.000 Inhabl- '
tanls , while the normal rate of deaths was
26 per 1,000 Inhabitants. The Increased
mortality was conllncd to the mountain dis
tricts , where In some localities the death
rate Increased SOO per cent. The amount
of cash received for the relief of the suffer
ing people of the Island up lo November
SO wan $15.221. The amount of money dis
bursed up to the date mentioned was $7,117.
Up to November 30 the total amount nt
food received to relieve the sufferer. ? was
17,627,738 pounds. Of this amount , 10,518-
316 pounds had been Issued up to November
30. The amount of unissued food on hand
at San Juan November SO , was 011,272
pounds.
U was some weeks after the hurricane
before the mental and physical energies
of the stricken people began to rally from i
the shock of the disaster. They were with
out ready money and were brought face to
face with starvation. Whllo the damage
Inlllctctl upon the people upon the const of
the Island was very great It was In part
offset by Ibo Improvement In the sugarcane - j
cane crop , which Improvement was produced - j
duced by the ovorllow of water on the cano '
lands. The prospect of a good crop en
abled the planters to borrow money with
which to employ the necessary labor to
care for and harvest the crop. The cities
along the coast were also able to come to
the rescue by the employment of labor to
repair the damage Indicted by the storm.
In consequence of these facts supplies
have gradually been suspended In the low
lands , except in limited quantities for the
chronic r ° or. The coffee plantations are
located In the uplands. Here the high winds
swept everything In their course , leaving lit
tle or nothing for the hungry or homeless
but their lives nnd what could ba given
them to prevent starvation. The prdmpt
action of the American people and of the
people of the island was all that prevented
a terrible catastrophe. The poor were fed
and their lives wcro preserved. Although
a largo part of the Island Is no longer re
ceiving relief , the number of Indlgenls re
quiring assistance remains the same.
It is believed that until February next the
demand for assistance la likely to Inciea30
In the mountain districts , as the plantations
and bananas will not bo ripe for two months
to come. The greatest distress prevails In
a locality where the greatest difficulty Is
found In getting food to the starving.
I'coiilt" Must ll < % Fell , or Stnrvr.
The worst area contains a population of
about 250,000 nnd not u wagon road Is to
bo found in any direction over which food
can be transported. All food Is carried on
the backs of horses. Of this population
200,000 people must be fed or they will
starve. If not fed at home they will migrate
to the cities , leaving the weak to die. Their
work will bo left undone and their fujurc
will be hopeless.
Pestilence , which frequently follows Hood
and famine , has appeared among the un
fortunate Inhabitants In the mountain dis
tricts and a number of people have perished.
It Is feared that the epidemic will spread to
the coast should there bo a general move
ment of the mountain people In that direc
tion. A movement of this kind has already
been anticipated and Is being successfully
controlled. But the relief must be contin
ued freely In the mountain districts for
all of December and during the greater part
of February.
It Is estimated that not less than 2,000
additional tons of food will ho required.
Four-sevenths should bo of beans and the
remainder of the amount should he either
codfish or bacon. With the food already
Issued and now on hand nnd with the 2,000
tons required In addition to that already
Issued the total Issue will bo 20,1C2,7SS
pounds.
In dealing with the. Indigent , able-bodied
men have been required to work for the
food they received and a great deal of pub
lic work has been clone in the way of clean
ing towns , repairing roads , etc. A plan has
been devised between the Board of Charities
and the needy planters and their servants
by which Iho board furnishes food to the
planters Tor the number of servants In their
families. In return for this aid the planters
sign an agreement to furnish a small par
cel of land and a hut to each family , which
land they are to see prepared and seeded
with food plants. The planters are also to
see that the laborers and their families arc
supplied with the food Issued and that the
laborer performs a full day's work In return.
The planteis further agree to furnish trans
portation of the food.

SAN KUANCISCO , Dee. 25. This after
noon the cast nnd west lined up for the
Dm lime on the gridiron , the opposlns
ttams being Carlisle of Pennsylvania and
the University of California. Six thousand
pecplo witnessed the Kame. The Ucrhelry
looters wcro out In force , but the Indians
were not lacking sympathizers.
Hvcry ono expected an easy walk-over
for the Indians , but In this their nultrlna-
lions were not realized. Berkeley put up
a magnificent game nnd held the Indiana
down In line style , the score nt the end of'
the game being 2 to 0 In favor of the Car
lisle Indians. A tumble by Uerkeley , when
the ball was on her tun-yard 'line , lout her '
the game. Kaaraburg tried to fnko a kick , ; .
but dropped the ball. Ho picked It up , j i
but the Indians were through the line and
,
pushed him over for a safety. Had he been i
KiicccKjful In this trick the seoro would un- j l
doubtcdly hnvo been n tic. I
The Indians were on the Held first and |
by their clever practice work It feemcd as
If they would run up a largo score. Uerko-
loy In her preliminaries made many fum
bles and the rooters were doubtful. Car-
llsln won the ( OF and kicked oft for thirty
yards. Uerkeley ran the ball In five yardrf.
then returned the kick. The Indians then .
began to buck nnd were fairly successful , although - !
though llorkoley held and the Indians found I i
'
It hard work. When the ball was on llerko-
ley's ten-yard line Carlisle fumbled and
llcrkelcy took the hall. Then Knarsburg
tried his fake kick which lost the game for
the blue and gold.
At the end of the first half Ilerkcloy seemed
to bo somewhat wlmlcd , but the Indians
were as fresh as over , nut the breathing
spell between halves put Uerkeley right
nnd she played the second half with a dash
that wus surprising. In this half neither
tide had i\y material advantage , although
the ball was Jn Ilerkcloy'u territory most
of the time. At ono tlmo It looked as If
the Indiana might kick a Hold goal. They
were crawling near the goal line , but just
before they got within kicking distance
Hudson was hurt and had to retire from the
game. He had tried several field goals dur
ing the game but was unsuccessful , yet
Ihurc was a great fooling of relief on the
part of the Berkoleyatis when he retired ,
for It was certain ho could not miss all the
time.
Toward the end of the second half there
was a battle between the punters of the
two teams , with no advantage on either
side , nnd time was called with the ball In
Berkeley's.territory. The game was the fast-
rst ever scon on the coast and although
Berkeley loat she has risen hugely In the
estimation of foot ball enthusiasts.
