Some of the people who have been
laboring for what is known as road 282,
CT the Andrew Carson road, for the past
six years, are as mad as a whole coop
full of wet hens over the recent action
of the commissioners, in reconsidering
their action of December 2S in opening
that road to the public, and i n n o W
ordering the closing of that road, after
considerable trouble, treasure and labor
have already been expended on the road.
One of the prime movers in securing the
road informs the writer that the r o a d
will be kept open at all hazards, init
mating with a business sparkle in his
eyes, that the people Of that locality
proposed to have a road to town if wire
fence cutters and shot-guns and earnest
men could do it. The principal bone of
contention seems to be the fact that the
road UNI through the Hirsch ranch. 1t
is to be regretted that this troublesome
question has been re-opened.

"The McCook building association"
said Bank Examiner Cline after his rec
ent and thorough examination, franks
as one of the two best conditioned asso-
Citations in the state" Under the cir
cumstances Of general business depres-
sion, this statement coming from n who
is certainly in a position to know where
Of he speaks, is highly gratifying indeed.
And the indications now point to an ear
ly improvement in the business of the
association. Borrowers are becoming
more numerous and the rate of premium
has somewhat increased accordingly.
81 ,25o were loaned at the last meeting.
With the early approach of spring the
association confidently expects al active
demand for their surplus money. Be-
sides disposing of the routine business,
an auditing committee composed of J.
E. Kelley, r. B. Simmonds and f. F.
Harmon was appointed to audit the
S~ecretary's books.

Superintendent J. NJ. c. Jones, Of the
Beatrice Canning factory, has leased fifty
acres of land on the Eccles' farm bot
toms, just below the Chautatuqua
grounds, and will make the experiment
of irrigating the same for tomato grow
ing purposes. The intention is to steam
pump the water from the river to the
crest of the hill above the tract into a big
ditch, and then run lateral bitches down
through the tract. Mr.. Jones is thorough
ly acquainted with the question of irri-
CATION and will make a practical demon
s~tration Of its utility in this section. He
expects to raise about twenty tons Of to-
matoes to the acre on this tract, which
at 81 per ton viii net him a very snug
sum of money, and viii more han re
pay any outlay for the experiment, as
he has already contracted with the can
ming company for all the tomatoes he
can raise. The experiment will be watch
ed with the utmost interest by the can
ming company and Beatrice citizens gen
orally. The product per acre of tomatoes
throughout this county, ordinarily is
from eight to ten tons, and sometimes in
off seasons, like last year the supply Of
tomatoes for the seasons pack has not
met with the demand by any means.
About February Ist, the canning ON
pany will begin making contracts with
Gage county farmers for the season. To-
matoes will average 81 per ton a d
sweet corn S. per ton. The green corn
crop will average in ordinary years about
three tons per acre. for which IS is paid
by the canning company, hence it will
be observed that the outlook for produce
growers is extremely encouraging in this
immediate locality.-Beatrice Express.
