PROSPECTS FOR AN OMAHA FACTORY Organization of & County Association at an Euthusiastic Meeting of Farmers and Business Men—An Impor- tant Ciroular, The beet sugar indusiry has begun to sprout in Douglas county. It will probably grow and take deep root within the coming ca ¥ Tho call issued by the Stato Boet Sugar as- sociation for a mesting At tho Omana Board of Trade rooms yosterday brought together about fifty prominent business men of Omaha aud a score or moro of farmers of Douglas ocounty to discuss the feasability of organ- fzing & county association. The object of the meeting was to promoto tho fudustry of sugar beet culture aud the manufacture of the beets Into sugar. Ready fuctory. f 1s understood that the men and the means ere now ready to establish & beet. sugar fac- tory in Omaha if tho farmers can be lnduced to raise tho beets. 'ho meeting was called to order at 10 oclock by Secretary Nason who stated the object of the gathering ana Laen nominated D. H. Whoeelor as chairmau. Mr. Wheeler ' was electod chairman and Mr. Paul W. Hor- . bach selected socretary. Prof. H. H. Nicholson of the State Uni- versity and M. A. Lunn of the Beet Sugar oterprise were present to address the meeting. ‘After some Informal discussion bad been , heard & committee of five was appointed on permanont organization. Tho following gen- tlomen wore ppointed as wmembers of this committeo: B. Hussey, R. F.Hodgin, W, R. Bowen, C. N. Hendnix and J. C, Gardne: } Prof, Nicholson's Talk. Secretary Nason opened the discussion by statiug that a special call had been issued to tho farmers of Douglas county and he was glad to see 50 many farmers present. He then introduced Prof. H. H. Nicholson, who presented a oarefully written papor upon Be subject of beet culture, He said he had prepared the address for aun audience of farmers and although he noticed that there were meu in the audienge who were not farmers yet he hoped that they would all nd something interesting in what he had to ‘The address was long and exbausuve. It 100k up the question of beet culture from & businoss standpoiut, showing the finan- clal advantage Of the enterprise toa commumty, aud then passed to the question of soil and climate. Prof. Nichoi- s0n said that the climate and soil of Nebras- ka bad been found to be exceptionally favor- able to the production of the sugar beet, Speaking of the yleld of the sugar beet Prof. Nicholson said that a fair average crop wbould run about fifteen tons to the acre. The average price paid was about $4 per ton. He read figures showing that the total ex- ponse of raising the beets would run from $30 10 $40 per acre. Selling the beets at $00 per acre would leave a profit of $20 to $30 per mcre. In addition to this the pith or refuse would be utilized to good advantage by feed- iug it 1o cattle. lhe gentloman went iuto tne matterof caltivatiug, showing how the crop was affectod by frequent hoeing and said that the idea that the larger the beots the better was erroncous. ‘I'he best beets are buta littlo over a pound in weight sna sbould grow o oue long, straight stem very deep iuto the ground. He said that the ;n{u beet was su easy crop upon the soil. It made the sou west of the city, and who raised a field of excellent beets last year, was called upon to say something upon tho subject. Mr. Full- void was enthusiastic in recommending to the farmers present the culture of the sugar beet. He raisod thirty-six tons on one acre,and they were pronounced about the best beets raised in Neoraska. Prof. Nicnolson had analyzed bis beets and found that they bore 16 per cent of sugar. ‘Tho expense of raising his acre of beets, Mr. Fullreid said, was about $40. It he could have sold them at 84 per ton he would have cleared $100 on tho acre. Mr. Fullreid ad- vised the owners of idle land lying close to Omaha to engage in the sugar beet culture instead of trying tosell the land for residence lots, He thought that Omaha would be the most advantageous place in Nebraska for the establishmentof a sugar beet factory because labarers could be had at the time they were most needed. He thought that a factory could be run all winter if provision was made 10 store the beets where thev would keep. Prof. Nicholson said that this could bs done, but it would be more expensive. Mr. Erfling’s Experience, Mr. E. C. Erfling of Omaha then addressed the meeting. He had seen tho industry car- ried on in Germany and was fully convinced that tbe industry could be made to pay in Douglas county, Mr, Erfling said he had planted sugar beets in Sarpy county fifteen years ago and had raised good beets, but, of course, there was Bo factory conven- jent to make the crop into sugar and he had abandoned the enterprise. He was earnestly 1n favor, though, of pushing aheaa with the entorprise by getting farmers interested in the work and then proceed with the estab- lishment of a factory. The convention adjourned at uoon to meet again at 1:30, ORGANIZATION COMPLETED, Constitution Adopted and Everything Made Ready for Active Work, At the afternoon meeting Mr. M. A. Lunn, secretary of the State association delivered an address upou the results of beet sugar furming in Nebraska curing the last two years and upon the importance of thorough oranization in Dougias and other counties of the state to encourage the farmers to raise sugur beets. 'he address was replete with conviacing arguments in favor of the enterprise. He sald the farmer needed encouragewent to make a start in beet raising. After the farmers had raised one orop, he thought, there would be ‘no further trouble ex- perienced. * Dr. George 1.. Miller was called upon and spoke ocarnestly for fifteen minutes, He had been very much pleased, he ssid, by the information conveyed in I’rof, Nichollson'’s address. He thought the experimental stuge of this industry had proved its practicability, and he promisad to assist, personally, 10 pro- mote the interssts of the great enlerprise for the benefit of Omana aud the farmers of Douglas county. Laws and Ocers, The committes appointed to draft a consti- tution and by-laws for the permanent organ- 1zationthen reported. Tbe Yoport recom- mended that the name of the organization be caliod the Louglas County Sugar Beet asso clation. The officers recommended were: Presl- dent, Hugh G. Clark; vice-presidont, George L.

The resolution passed at the meeting of the State Beet Sugar association favoring a state bounty of $1 a ton to be paid to the farmers and half a cent por pound to the manufac- turers was adopted by the convention. Prof. Nichollson spoke of the absolute ne- cessity of getting the farmers interested in raising sugar oeets, He said it would be useless to build factories without having an assurance that the beats would be raised. Mr. Frank G. Emerson said heknew where the money coula be had to build the factory just as soon as he could get an assurance from the farmers that they would raise the Deets, Mr. James Walsh said the farmers were reaay and willing to grow the beets if some responsible parties would enter into acon- tract to purchase the beets. Dr. Milier said the whole question could be settled by bringing the capitalists who pro- pose to buld the factory and the farmers to- getner. Mr. J. F. Gardner, whoowns a large farm n Douglas county, said: “I will contract right now with any responsible party to raise and deliver at a factory in this county five or ten acres of sugar beets next fall.”” Mr, Henry Eicke of Waterloo precinct spoke encouragingly upon the problem. Ho thought the farmers would be inclined to en- gago in beet culture if they could be assured that the beets would bs marketable when raised. Joseph Redman suggested that precinct meetings be called out in the country at which the farmers might have an oppor- tanity to discuss the question of beet cul- ture.” A resolution wstructing the preocingt vice presidents to call such meetings in all the precinets of Douglas and Sarpy counties not later thau next Saturday was oarried. The convention then adjourned to meet on Saturday, February 13, at 10 o'clock in the Board of Trade rooms. It 1s hoped that a large number of farmers will be present at the next meeting and that the scheme to build a factory will then assume definite shape. ——— BEN BUTLER'S BOOK. The General Corrects Some Wrong Impres- -slons und Makes Charges. Bostox, Ma Jav. 80.—*The Autobiog- raphy and Personal Reminiscences of Major General B, . Butler,or"Butler's Book,” was issued yestorday. In nis preface, the gen- eral giues as one reason for the publication, “4to correct much of the wrong doue to my- selt by a prejudiced misrepresentation of facts and circumstances as to my own acts in the service of the country.” General Butler asserts positively that Salmon P. Chase sent @ friend to him to Fortress Monros to solicit him to aceept the vice presidency aomination of the republican party in case he (Uhase) secured the first place: and that Simon Cam- erom made & similar proposition to him 1 bebalf of Mr. Lincoln less than three weeks afterwards, He quotes the conversation and gives the reasous for his refusal of both offers, He maintains with documents his position taken in the controversy over the conduct of the late Admiral Porter at New Orloans, and declares that the latter acted untruthfully and villainously through the whole traussction of the capture and sur- render of tne fort. He also charges Admiral Porter and the latter’s subordinates with the failure of the powder boat plan at Fort Fisher. He brauds as utterly false the charge of General W. F. Smith that Grant was druuk bafore Petorsburg and criticlses Swith severely. The general closes Lis work with & summery of his service to the country and finally says: “In my congressional career, my proudest boast is that tbrough my effort the legal lender greenback was made constitutional woney, and I velieve soan it will be the only money in the nited States.” ) iy New York Suc: Sitanchin—To hear people talk you would think there was some- hing uew about trylug proachers for heresy.

WILL SPEND FOUR MILLIONS Prospective Builders Promise to Erect Many Btructures This Year in Omaha, WHAT THE ARCHITECTS SAY ABOUT IT Leading Firms of the Clty Confess to Having Plenty of Work of a Preliminary Sort, With Not a Little that is Completed. The outlook for a prosperous building yenr is encouraging, and the leading architects are now busily engaged in making plans and drawings for proposed new structures, both n business blocks and private residences. At present many proposed building schemes with the architects are in an embryotic state, ana as it is yet very early in tho season they naturally hesitate about making their plans public. Architects, however, assert that if one half of the proposed plans are carried out, Omaha will see great activity in the building line. There are croackers among the architects —only a fow however, and thoy allege that but little will be done in the building line this year, as there are already sufficient busi- ness blosks and residences to meat the in - creased cemand for a year. But careful es- timates made by the men who do the bulk of the work indicate that fully $4,000,000 will be 1nvested in building entorprises thi clusive of public bundings. 'he architectural firm of Walker & Kim- ball has many prospective new buildings, some of which they will not make public, but they say the outlook Is good. Excava: ting for the three-story store and oftice build- ingfor D. C. Pattorson at the corner of Seventeenth and Farnam is iu progress. They have the plans all completed. They will have a frontnge of sixty-six feet and a depth of 132 feet. Iv will cost $10,000. The firm has completod drawings aud is at work on the new plans for the United Presbyterian church, to be located at the corner of Twenty-fourth and Dodge streets. It will oceupy & space of 69x89.and will cost about $25,000. Wien completed this will be & mag- uificent edifice. % Walker & Kimball will also superintend the construction of thanew Lelephone oulld- ing to be located at Eighteenth and Douglas streats. ‘T'ne building'will bo of brick and terra cotta, ana the estimated cost for its compietion is $00,000, Burdick & Boller clafi to have much work on hand, and state that there will ve four times as much building.-this year as last. Mauy of their buildings will take the piaco of old shanties, “‘We have plavs,” sdld Mr. Burdick, ‘‘of a fan hotel to be located on Dougias near ‘I'wenueth street, and jt will cost about $40,- 000, At present Ism fotat liberty to say who will build it 5 They also bive planstor a four-story brick with & ninety-nine-foot frontage on Farnam street, east of Twenty-frst. Henry Voss, when asketas w0 the pros- pects of builaing, statad-that it was most 100 early in the season now to give a definite opiuton, but the outlook was very favora He suid it was much bester than last year. During Fobruary and Marci he belioved all the architects would be busy making plans for new buildings. , He hus already com- ploted plaus for ' four-story brick at Eleventh and Farpam. It will be 32x132 and will boa store rcom and flats, costing ubout 000, Meudelssohu, Pisber & Lawrie say they have many prospecuiye- buildings, of which they care to say nothiug @t presont. The junior member of firm thinks the outlook for butlding is much better uow thau it was lest year. " M. Ellis 1s of the ‘opinion toat a great amount of building will be done, especially rosidences, a3 many 10ts are changing hanas. Mr. Ellis has completed plans for a $12,000 residence for C. . Bibbius. ‘T'he house will be located on Webster, belween Twenty- tirst and Twenty-second streeis. It will of brick with stone trimuwings. Blake & Zauder claim that there is much talk of building, but the structures will be small and of moderate cost. They, too, think the outlook is much better than it was a year ago b this time. ’ James McDonnell thinks that the buildin, prospects will be moro encouraging in the fall than in thespring and summer. Hésays, “We will have got over last years depres— sion in the money market by that time, and tkings will look imore encouragingz.’” C. I". Beindorff says thatthe prospects for a prosperous building season were never bet- ter. The outlook cannot bo compared with last year, as there is plenty of work for the designers of buildings to do. One of his large structures is the Hicks apartment house on Thirtieth avenue and Pacific street. The building will cost $50,000. Mr.- Bein- dorfr is also taking bids on the government building for work. ‘Thera is also some talk of Architect George Berlingbof completing dgsigns for an apartment flat to accommodatesixty families. It will be one of the largest flats in the country and will be located near Twenty- second and Leavenworth streots, The esti- mated cost for the fat is §125,000. The Omaha Brewing a: tion will erect a mamnioth brewery at Sherman avenue and Grace stroets, plans for which wore agreed upon last year. The buildiugs will cover block 4, in Paddock’s place, and in order to do iv tho association has petitioned the city council to vacate all alleys i the block so that there will bo pienty of room to build. Fred Krag will ‘also build u new brewery at Fignteenth and Vinton, the dotails of wiich have been published. Fully §500,000 will ba expended by Mr. Krug in his new m the individual architectural work the city will do much in public im- provenients, ~With all these improvements in sight Omaha has bright prospects for ono of its wmost prosperous scasons with no inflated valuus or real estate booms.

Chief Seavey Makes a Few Suggestions —Yesterday's Proveedings. A special meeting of the Board of Health was held in room 23, Continental block, at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Dr. Somers in an informal talk complained about the phy- siclans who failed to report diphtheria cases and stated that the disease had spread in one lodeing house that he knew of because the doctor in attendance had negleoted to do his duty. Upon the arrival of Mayor Bemis the meet- ing was called to order aud the rules for the Board of Health, which were recently drafted by Dr. Gapen, Chief Seavey and Councilman Blumer, which the city council refused to adopt, were brought up and dis- cussed. Dr. Somers said that ho haa looked over. the rules and thought that they were good and should be adopted. The rules adovted by the late board were gone ovor thoroughly, and it was decided to submit the same set of rules for the approval of the council at their next meeting. In connection with the sanitary condition of the city Chief Seavey said: ‘“*All school buildings and hospitals ought to be visited at least twice & year and thewr sanitary condition thouroughly investigated. All daries, restaurants, chop houses, lunch' counters, lodging houses, meat markots snd commission houses should be thoroughly 1nspected twice each month. A samplo of milk from every milk peddler should be taken ut least once a month and analyzed and the result reported to the board. The water from all wells and cisterns ana the city water should be analyzed and # roport made.” Continning, the chief advised that ull sfuk holes, cess pools and cellars snould be investizated ana kept m a good sanitary condition, In conclusion, Chief Senvy moved that two meu be appointed as sanitary inspectors to report for duty at onco. Mayor Bemis looked over his list of appll cations aua after some discussion Messrs, Pettit and Sherroy, both old health depart- mont inspectors, were appointed ava salary of §0 per month and an allowance of $15 a month for horse bire. It is more thar proba- ble than Mr, Skierroy will be installed in the place just vacated by Philip Audres. Messrs. Bemis, McLearie and Howell wero named as a committes to submit the names of the two maat inspectors to be appointed. The meotini adjonrned subject to the cail of the mayor. e OMAHA'S BANK CLEARINGS, Every Week Shows a Gratitylng Incrouse in Them Omaha's bank clearings are incroasing to a great extent compared with the correspond- ing week and month of last year.

STATED THEIR GRIEVANCES Union Pacific Trainmen Submit Their De- mands to the Company. WANT A REVISED SCHEDULE OF WAGES Men on the New Lines Have Trouble in Col lecting Dues for Overtime—Pros- pects of an Amlcablo ustment, The Union Pacific grievance committees have submitted their comvlaints and de- mands to the railroad company, and Assist- ant General Manager Dickinson has them under consideration, ‘Tho two committees, one representing con. ductors only and the other the Order of “Uralumen, bave been holding secret sessions for amonth past and several days ago agroed upon tho propositions to be submitted to the railroad officials. Although representing two different organizations the cowmmitteos have beeu working in harmony with eich other, and in fact have had joint meetinzs to discuss matters of mutual interest. This is due partly to the fact that the Order of 'Irainmen has many conductors among its members, more, it is usserted, than the conductors’ order itself. ‘The couclusions of the committees were 1aid before Mr, Dickinson several days ago. Among the most important demands is one fora rovision of the schedule of wages on several divisions, and Lhe railroad men bave submitted a new schedule which they ask to have put into efiect. In the new country penetrated by the great Union Pacific sys- tem the couditions under which men labor change from year to year and tho committees ave asking for u readjustment to correct it- equalities which they deom to have arisen. “'The railroad men also ask for the modifica- tion of some of the rules now in force for their government. On the soutlern end of the Denver aud Fort Worth divison- the trammen complain that they bhave not been getting all tha extra time they are ontitled to, and they lusist upon having re- dress. A well known rallroad mau says this shortage may be due 1o the efforts of & super- dent aesirous of making a record for momy, but he is inelined to tnink it (s the result of s defective systom of reporting and recording time. The traiumen also bave a number of griev- ances concerning individusis or particular localties, Both employes and officials express the opinion that they wiil reach a salisfactory settlement of tkeso questions without serious trouble. Both sides are disposed to be fair, and where is no threat or whisper of a strike. Iv is thougnt that questions luvolviog a considerable woney outlay wili be Leid in abeyance for the cousideration of Ceneral Manager Clark, who has just returned 1o St. Louis from the tranzcontinenial meeting in New York, and is expectod to reach Omaha next week. Mr. Clark loug avo signitied his desire to be relieved of the burden of minor details, and it is understood that Mr. Dickin 500 hos wwple authority to puss upon most of the grievances submitted to him. It is b lieved, therefore, that the work of the cowm- mittees will be concluded within the next week, or ten days at tho longest, and that the conductors and brakowen of the Unlon Pacific will continue work without i - ruption and ou a more satisfactory bas than ever before. b Marringe Licensos.
