The Commercial club of York st a meeting last night discussed the "yueer ways of rail road comiwuiles who do and can discrimi nate In rates against Norfolk. Hastings. Grand Island, Beatrice and York." A number of Instances were cited of in dustries which had been built up In, one or other of these towns and forced to move to other cities to obtain necessary advantages In rates. A few years sgo Mr. Bloomer, a resident of York, commenced the manufac ture of wire and alat fencing and used the old skating rink as a manufactory. It only took Mr. Bloomer a short time to learn that It would be Impossible to compete with eastern manufacturers, who could ship to Council Bluffs, la., and local out in western Nebraska their wire fencing at less rates than he could ship from York and thnt manufacturers In Iowa could ship in car load lota wire from the east laid down In Council Bluffs at less rates than he had to pay from Council Bluffs to York, making his wire cost him twice the amount In freight. Mr. Bloomer moved his plant to Council Bluffs, la., where he operates one of the largest manufactories of Its kind In the United States. If the factory had re mained at York the Burlington would re ceive 86 per cent of the In and out freight, whereas it probably does not receive over 15 per cent of the in and out freight of the Bloomer plant at Council Bluffs. York has another industry that has en larged Its output and has been compelled to put In a branch house at Omaha and use Omaha as a distributing center, which means in time that York will lose this plant.

(Special. ) Manager Bcllley of the Standard Beet Sugar company says the Ames factory will be run the coming season and that the receivership Insures that. JAIl claims for last season's beets will be paid In full and there will be money to pay for this sea son's beets.

Buihnell, Lincoln, Saturday, April 7, 1906. The Trade Review cannot refrain from again talking something about home insurance. Every time that the proposition presents Itself of the tre mendous amount of money that has been sent out of Icbrjka for life insur ance to eastern cities, the conviction conies home with increased force that the home companies of this state ought to be patronized and the money ought to remain in Nebraska. The revolution of the lat year of the way the enor mous surplus of the big eastern companies has been handled and squandered, and speculated with, ounht to emphasize the fact that the people of this state, should stop pouring their money Into eastern channels, when it can be placed In home insurance and every dollar of it kept at home through investment in this state. It is gratifying to note that home insurance is, year by year, receiving more and more Its Just deserts. The oldest strictly old line home insurance company in Nebraska, the Rankers Life of Lincoln, is a good illustration, both In its growth and volume of business, of what a company ran do in the went, if its home people stay with it. The Rankers Life, which we will une for" com parison as a home company, has now in this state $12,000,000 of insurance in force. Only one other company, of nearly 60 companies doing business in Nebraska, has a larger amount of insurance in force in this state, and that company was doing business in Nebraska 2 years before the Hankers Life waa organized. The Rankers Life in lOOS made a net gain, in round num bers, of two million dollars of added insurance. No other company doing business in the state made anything like such a large gain. The three New York companies that do such a tremendous amount of business make an in rlgniflcant showing in Nebraska husiness when compared with the Rankers 1,1 fe. The Equitable of New York lost more business in this state in 100.1 than it wrote; its insurance in force was 4 per cent less than the previous year, and its loss in premium receipts was over 2 per rent, while the Rankers Life gained 18 per rent in InKuranre in force and 21 per rent in gain of pre miums over 1004. The Mutual Lite just a little more than played even In the state in 1005, and the New York Life made only a small gain in its busi ness, increasing its Insurance in force . per rent, against the Rankers Life's IS, and increasing its premiums 4 per rent where the Hankers Life increased lit per rent. Why cannot this same record be made every year that has been made the last year? There are a number of home insurance companies that ran give Just as good insurance as any companies in the world, infinitely better insurance than that given by the companies which make such a record of gross mismanagement and corruption as tho big companies of New Y'ork City have vmade. There will be many thousands of new policies written In this state by Itehraaka people in 19O0, and the Trade Review wishes that every individual who take oat a policy the coming year would carefully weigh the proposition of the value It Is to keep his Insurance at home before be puts his name to tho application of any insurance company. - ICootlnued on fourth Page )
