Work has commenced on the Marsh
road and few days more will wit
ness an immense change for the better
in this direction. Since our last issue,
Mr.. Mitchell has been doing some tall
rustling with the subscription paper and
his efforts have been rewarded with
much success. Sufficient has been sub
scried to justify him In beginning work
and his teams and men are preparing
today to make the dirt fly. Messers.
Mitchell and Cartwright went up and
surveyed the route Thursday. They
found much easier grade than was
anticipated. The road will be complet-
ed before work stops and a surprising
improvement will be witnessed within
the next two weeks. The following Is
the list obtained since our last issue:

COMMITTEES,

Among the Improvements and laudsble
undertakings In this section Of the coun-
try none deserve more praise or should
be more vigorously encouraged than the
Emmett Nursery. This enterprise Is
being pushed by John Carter and Grant
Barlet, two Of our best rustlers and
most 20 ahead citizsns. At present they
only have about 26O00 trees OF all varities
but by next fall will have at least
300. 900 trees Of the hardest varieties
ready for the market. The land which
is being devoted to this industry joins

Of the most delightful spots in the state

The patrons Of the Central school
district a few miles below Emmett have
made some needed repairs on the school
house to make it comfortable for winter.
Some stable room has boen built near
the school house to shelter the horses
which may be used by the children in
going to school. This arrangement is a
practical and silent lesson, that kindness
to animals is one of the active thoughts
among Central school patrons. Those
who are kind to their horses will be

Sugar Bssts.

While there has been little OF no exper-
imenting in the beet culture in this sec
ton, 1t is generally conceded the soil and
climate are well adapted for that purpose.
The INDEX would like TO see some of our
enterprising farmers take hold of this
proposition and see If sufficient interest
can not be- worked up 10 at least cause a
little experimenting. II the soil and eli
mate are suitable and there certainly can
not be much doubt on that score. sugar
beet and sugar cane culture will prove tc
be one of the mOst remunerative occupa.
tions in the agricultural line. There are
some sections OF Kansas where the sugar
industry constitutes almost the only
source of revenue the farmers can rely
upon. and IL they were blessed with irri-
CATION facilities, as we are in this valley,
making crop failures an impossibility
they would be out Of debt and have mon.
ey in the bank. This matter is merely
brought up for consideration and with
out any desire TO display our superior
foresight in agricultural lines. The In
DIX believes if the industrious farmers OF
this valley would do little more think
ing and acting along these lines that they
would have more money at the end Of
each year and not have to work them
selves and their families half SO hard as
they do now.

Dear people Of Emmett. please do not
understand the INDEX as presuming TO
know more about what would be benef-
cial for this community than any one else.
But we are thoroughly imbued with an
honest desire TO further the interests of
Emmett in every conceivable manner and
to assist any movement having this OBJ
ject in view. Our modest opinion is that
the most successful method OF prosecut.
ing this work is through the medium OF

The Balance of Trntle.

Washington. Special. March II. The
statement of the imports and exports of the
United States for January and for the first
seven months of the current fiscal year is
issued by the treasury department. 1t does
not show very encouraging condition of
our foreign commerce. The figures are
rather startling. During January the value
OF the imports Of merchants was $50. TIA, ST.,
much larger than for any January for
years. The value of the exports was SG7.-
66',3SS. or an excess of imports of over $16,-
600. This was the balance of trade against

were S}2.OOO, 600 less in value than in Jan

to the greatly decreased demand for bread

however, Othello was habited in a
