NORFOLK BRICK WORKS.

Every industry in Norfolk which en-
ploys labor and thus maintains part
of the city's citizenship, is factor in
the upbuilding of the community. A
plant which gives work to one man is
help and the plant which gives en-
ployment to between fifteen and thir-
ty-five men at certain seasons of the
year. is a bigger help. The Norfolk
Brick works, operated by II. e. &C.
recke, is therefore an important fac
tor In the constructive process of max
ing Norfolk bigger city than it's mere
agricultural environment would war
rant, for the Norfolk Brick works
gives work to between fifteen and
thirty-five men during a large portion
of every year.
This industry is one along produc-
| tive lines. From the raw earth, aided
by the hand of man, building bricks
are turned out for use in all lines of
the building trades. And Norfolk, be-
cause the profit is not distributed to
eastern jobbers, reaps all the benefit
of the production, in one way and an
other.
The Norfolk Brick works are colve-
niently located on the Chicago &
Northwestern's Bonesteel branch, fac
ing Prospect avenue on the south be-
tween Seventh and Eighth streets, two
blocks north of Norfolk avenue The
works were originally established as
hand yard in the early SOS. In
1888 the Norfolk Brick and Tile COM
pany was incorporated The plant
was in charge of Herman Gerecke as
manager. About 1898 the corporation
was dissolved and the name was
changed to the Norfolk Brick works,
aud the management has retained the
name. The plant has usually run from
May until the latter part of October
each season.
From fifteen and thirty-five hands
are employed and from 100000 to
100000 of brick have been made.
The demand has usually been largely
above the supply, and great many
brick have often been shipped into
this market.

Stanton, Neb., Nov. 19.--The past

farmers, as the wet weather kept the

There are probably twice as many
feeding cattle this year as there have
been in former years. The low price
of corn and the reasonable price OF

creased profits.

GET THEIR WAGES RAISED
NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD GIVES
A VOLUNTARY INCREASE.
TO TELEGRAPH AND DEPOT MEN
An Increase In Salaries Which viii
Amount to About 100000 Per Year
And Which Brings $4,000 More a
Year Into This Division, Announced
From Tnesday,s Dailv.l

lfTOH tuesdays Daily
According to a report around the
railroad yards in Norfolk, the North.
western railroad company has volun-
tarily increased the wages Of every
telegraph operator, every station agent
and every station cashier on the sys-
TEN. All of this class of employees in
the Nebraska & Wyoming division are
affected by the raise and will, 1t is
understood, receive material increases
in salaries.
The increase went into effect No
vember 1. All telegraph operators, all
station agents and all cashiers will
receive on an average of SIS per month
more than they received before. Some
of the same line of workmen, higher
up, will receive $40 increases.
Means About 100000.
Estimating the number of such en-
ployes who are working for the North
western system, the amount Of in
creased salaries to be paid by this vol
untary increase in wage will amount
to more than 100000 per year.
There are about 800 men in the Ne
braska & Wyoming division who will
reap a benefit from the new order of
things, meaning $1,000 per month or
$4,000 per year paid into this channel
in this division alone during the year
than heretofore.
Northwestern Pays Well.
Among the railroad men on the
Northwestern system there is always
content in their work. The North
western pays its men well, gives them
a square deal and in return gets the
best men available and gets the best
work possible.
There has not been a collision in the
North Platte portion Of this division
within the memory of man. Good
wages and good men are believed to
be the cause.

CUT DULUTH.sloUx CITY RATE.
Slight Reduction is Made by Great
Northern Affects Nebraska.

Si'SHt nCodStlOI 10 wduC ny STedI
Northern Affects Nebraska.
A reduced Duluth-Sioux City freight
rate by the Great Northern railway
will have some effect upon Norfolk and
other Nebraska points, according to
dispatch from st. Paul, which says:
The Great Northern railroad yester-
day issued its new freight tariff sheet,
announcing the changes in effect No
vember Is, in accordance with the gen.
eral reduction order of the state rail
road and warehouse commission. The
changes affect traffic not only in Min
nesota but in Wisconsin, North and
South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska as
well. Not wishing abrupt changes in
the rates at the state boundary line,
the company has made reductions in
the neighboring states as we'll, grading
the rates in those states to meet the
rates in Minnesota.
The new rates include a reduction on
merchandise hauled from Duluth to
Sioux City, Iowa, the reduction being
3 cents on first-class gradually dimin.
ishing for lower classes. This reduc-
ton is the result of considerable nego-
tiation between the Great Northern and
the roads hauling merchandise from
Chicago to Sioux City.
For a long time past the rate on
merchandise from Duluth to Sioux City
has been exactly the same as the rate
from Chicago to Sioux City," said
Duluth shipper today, this arrange
ment being made on the theory that
the Duluth and Chicago jobbers were
thus placed on an equal footing. The
haul from Chicago to Sioux City is,
however, considerably longer At the
same time, the lake rate on merchan-
disc from New York and other eastern
points is higher to Duluth than to Chi
cago, the difference ranging from
cents per hundred pounds on fifth-class
merchandise.
Evidently, the arrangement in rates
has been considerably in favor of the
Chicago jobbing houses, and the COM
plants from Duluth have been numer-
GUS and frequent. The matter has been
taken up with the Great Northern on
many occasions by the Duluth jobbng
lnlciSStS, anu do d IeSulI luduy COulci-
ences on the subject have been held
by the Great Northern officials with
the officials of the Sioux City-Chicago
lines.
THE Great Northern officials some
time ago expressed willingness to re-
duce the rate from Duluth to Sioux
City to make up for Duluths disadvant-
age in the lake rate. They wished,
however, the consent of the western
lines, fearing that rate-cutting war
would result from any independent ac-
ton on the part of the Great Northern.
"At length the matter was adjusted,
the Western lines leaving their rate
from Chicago to Sioux City as it was,
and the Great Northern making a suf-
ticient reduction to overcome about
one-half the disadvantage Duluth has
been suffering by reason of the diff
ference in the lake rate"

WILL TRAINS GO FASTER?
From Success Magazine.


For some time engineers have agreed
that with our present methods. the
practical limit of speed with steam.
both on land and water has been
reached The problem, therefore, has
been to devise new methods or to rem
der practicable, in a high degree, some
new power of propulsion, such as cleo
tricity, as rival and successor of
steam. The latter of these alternatives
has proved the more easily solved and
with the achievement of a speed of t31
miles an hour on the military road.
Berlin-Zossen, Germany, q little over
n year ago, a new era in traffic NAV
be said to have been ushered in. Were
IT, otherwise, and were this achievement
but an isolated example of phenomenal
speed under ideal conditions, without
practical application to existing prob
lens, it would possess only the interest
OF the extraordinary. AS matter of
fact, however, these speed trials in
Germany possess the highest practical
value and may be said to have estab-
lished the conditions of further pro-
gress along this line. A normal speed
OF 125 or even $50 miles an hour, is no
longer an idle dream, but has come
within the realm of the Immediately
probable. Certain conditions, it is true,
remain to be fulfilled, but to the pres
ent age, accustomed to the achieve
ment of things almost impossible, the
overcoming of difficulties of detail pre-
sents no serious problem. Certainly,
today we are nearer a speed of $50 miles
an hour than the world of 1880 was to
one of 80 miles an hour.
