Things moved swimmingly for a
while, and Kearney pointed with
pride to her cotton mill and the
other industries which would nat
urally follow. The product had to
be disposed of and the market lay
to the west-Denver, Salt Lake,
Seattle, Los Angeles and San Fran

could be seen.

Mrs. Roosevelt frequently visits
the school and inquiries into the
progress of her daughter in her
studies. She insists that no favors
be shown Miss Ethel, but wants her
to be kept up to the full measure
of department and standard of
scholarship set fer the rest.
That Miss Ethel is not spoiled by
oyerlndulgence is shown by several
incidents which have occurred
since she has been at school. For
example, the day following inau-

KEARNEY, Neb., March 2. -

KEARNEY, Neb., March 2. -
Where once fortune seemed to
beam upon this town, and industry
hummed its cheerful song, there is
now the sadness and the stiffness
of community mourning its birth
right. Business men now refer to
Kearney as an industrial grave
yard. and the memory of $4,000
cotton mill, a paper mill, a plow
factory, a cracker factory, pickle
factory and two wholesale grocery
houses that used to exist rises as
a mockery.
The sting of it is that the rail-
roads were the cause of the towns
industrial doom instead of its sal
walton.
In addition to the industries
named there were two electric
street car lines, but when the fac
tories were starved out in Kearney,
the street car lines had to quit also
there was no one to ride to work.
1t is railroad discrimination
-heartless and undisguised-that
killed Kearney as an industrial
center.
Chapter !.
In 1891 Col. ]. J. Hooker OF Gin
cinnati came to Kearney and made
known his intentions of erecting a
cotton mill. He was backed by I'M
limited capital, but stipulated that
the citizens of Kearney should con-
tribute $4,000 toward the erection
of such plant.
At that time public spiritedness
was rife and the citizens made up
the purse and the cotton mill be-
came a reality. People, allured by
indications of a urishing- city-to-
be, paid enormous prices for real
estate within a mile radius of the
site. and built fine homes - man

If Kearney desires the anthracite
coal from the Butte fields, she must
pay 81 per ton freight on it.
All of this is what's the matter
with Kearney.
