Despite certain unfayorable sle-

able features, experienced by the
beet growers. While the complete
returns from the factories cannot be
secured until after the close of oper-
atoms in February, the indications
are that the total production of
sugar for the past season will be
about 10000 tons, worth at 800

that not less than s10,0OO,OOO has

Among those who saw the first
performance of Gas Told In The
Hill" which will play at the opera
house, Feb. 9th. one night only, was
an indian named Little Fox who was
graduated from the Indian school at
Carlisle five years ego. One Of the
prominent characters in the play is
named "Little Fox" who as a child
saved the lives of a party Of emil
grants by taxing message asking
for relief srom a nearby fort when
the emigrsnts were surrounded by q
band Of hostile indians. The most
prominent character in the play is
that of Pamnens, the daughter of an
Indian chief, who was adopted by
James and Mrs. Howard, and reared
as their own child as was the little
Fox OF the play. The Little Fox in
seal life who saw the first perform
ance Of the play was naturally very
much interested in the performance
which he complimented highly. He
met Mr.. Sim, the author of the play,
after the performance and asked him
wnere he got his ideas for the plot
and on being told that it was taken
from an old Indian legend that the
author had heard while visiting the
Southwest three years ago, being
told to him by a medicine man Of
the Moqui tribe who claimed to be
more than one hundred years old.
Little Fox asked if the character in
the play had been named for any
particular person. He was told that
the name WAS selected at random; he
said although it had not been by de-
sign, he nevertheless wished to re-
gard it as a compliment that 80
noble character in the play bore
his name. "One Of the injustices
that the white people have done to
my race has been done by the many
dramatists who have pictured only
the worst of the red men in their
works." he said sit has been q
great pleasure for me to see your
play in which two truly noble In
dian characters are presented and to
see that in all their actions they are
so true to life. There are many
phases to the character of my peo-
pie that are not understood by the
whire people because tney have
never lived among us or looked at
life from our point Of view. On the
other hand, the only knowledge
many people have Of the Indian has
been gained from books and plays
many Of which have been presented
in uufavorable views of the character
shown. It is especially gratifying
to see such characters as the Little
Fox and Pamnena in your play pre-
scented and interpreted as we'll as
they are and the good that the gen.
eral presentation of the play will do

Now impetus for 0v Farming.

Now Impetus for DRY Farming.
Under the above caption the Oms-
ha Bee comments upon the import
ance Of the dry farming congress.
1t pays especial attention to the ben
eft that will accrue to the agricul.
tural interests of Nebraska through
diffusion Of reliable and expert in
formation concerning dry farming
methods and the adaptabillty Of this
mode of agriculture to the thousands
of untitled acres of this western
country. Among other things the
Omaha Bee says:
1.-TWO important facts have within
the last few years caused extensive
settlement and cultivation west of
what was formerly regarded as the
line Of abundant rainfall stretching
from the Canadian boundary to the
Rio Grande. Plenteous rain for sey-
eral seasons have produced astonish-
ing crops, powerfully tempting i'm
migration where anything but sparse
grazing was once believed to be i'm
possible. Though cultivation prob
ably modifies climate, the degree of
recent rainfall can hardly be perm a.
nently counted on. the most po-
tent factor is the new methods of
conserving the average supply of
moisture and utilizing it for aston
ishingly successful cultivation. The
almost illimitable field for develop
ment thus opened up affords SUBJ
stantial basis for sure calculation of
the resources of what SO long Was
dismissed as a hopefessly dry coun-
try
"The people of the older settled
part of Nebraska are, of course,
hardly less interested in the develop
ment Of the western part than its
own settlers. 1t is practically the
discovery of rich, new country, as
an economy in mining processes
amounts to finding new ore. A con-
vention giving publicity to the re-
suits of dry process experience and
demonstration should be an immense
practical assistance to those already
on the ground, and also an effective
stimulus to multitudes to look in that
direction.
"The occupation of land and the
consequent enhancement OF its price
in the region of heavy rain have al
ready gone so far that the increas-
ing pressure of population can find
an outlet only in the dry region. 1t
is more fortunate than is yet CON-
monty appreciated that at this junct-
ure the methods that render that
region available are being SO rapidly
developed. For Nebraska it means
thousands of productive and pros
porous new farms and all that thriv-
ing agricultural development means
to trade and industry generally"
This congress is attracting more
widespread and commendstory at :
tention than any recent gathering
held in the west. The people Of this
region realize that through the use
of this method of farming vast tracts
of western land will be opened up to
settlement and development, which
otherwise would remain barren
wastes for an indefinite period.-Pu-
eblo Chieftain.
