An ALLIANCE r. r. SCHEME.

Ed. INDEX: Farmers, why not build
railroadp You have for the last TWEEN
ty years built and equipped railroads
for Gould, Vanderbilt and other rail.
road magnates. But still they are not
satisfied. They want you to pay enor-
nous prices for transportation. Have
you not supported these moneyed fends
long enough? Yes, too long for your
own benefit. Now build railroad and
reap the reward yourselves.
Let me suggest that the alliance build
and operate narrow gauge railway
from Galveston, Texas, north through
Houston, Dallas, Kingfsher, Kiowa,
Medicine Lodge, Pratt, st. John. Great
Bend, Russell, Osborne, Smith Center.
through Nebraska to Fit. Pierre, South
Dakota, or as far as Bismarck. Then
you will have line of railway through
as fine wheat, corn and stock country
as there is in the United States.
1 will farther suggest that the ALI
ance build grain elevators and stock
yards at different points along the line,
and also a large grain elevator at Gal
weston. This road could be entirely
constructed by the alliance, if each
member will take as many shares as
they can, say from one share to two
hundred shares each; not allowing any
one member to hold over two hundred
shares, and give each member the priv
ilege of working on the construction of
the road for stock. Barton, Stafford,
Pratt and Barber, with a few alliance
men from the adjoining counties and
Oklahoma, could build it from Great
Bend to hingfsher by next fall, that
would give you an outlet to Galveston
for your next years crop.
Why you should build a narrow gauge
in preference to standard gauge. In
the first place it will cost about one
third less to build 1t, and there is but
little difference in the capacity of the
cars. Second, "a narrow gauge will trans
fer as much freight as standard gauge
IN the same length of time for the same
cost. Grain can be transferred from
the narrow gauge grain cars to the
standard gauge cars or elevators at a
cost of about $500 for every sixty cars.
Now, farmers, by holding stock in this
road you will realize profit from every
dollar you pay on freight.

SUGAR REETS.

Peabody Graphic: Harvey county
sent delegation of citizens to MedI-
cine Lodge to visit the sugar works.
They have returned, and the Newton
Republican gives their complete report,
from which it appears that they are
highly convinced that the beet sugar Is
absolutely success, and they urge the
committees OF the several townships to
call meeting of the citizens at once,
to put the ball in motion at an early day.
J. r. Toeve, one of the committee, and
whom we know to be a very careful
and conservative farmer Of undoubted
business capacity, has been a director
in beet sugar plant in Germany and
is yet shareholder. He positively as
sures us that sugar making from beets
is great success there, raising the val
ue of land from $50 to $500 per acre in
the vicinity of sugar beet mills. 1t
takes about $125, 600 for each mill. and
the committee has suggested two plans
to raise the capital needed. There is
no doubt but that a beet sugar plant
would be good thing for Harvey coun-
ty, if they can get one, and If a good
thing there it would be here"
