Vote Ia 1ridre the Platte.

GRAND ISLAND, Sept 2S.-(Special.)-
At its meeting yesterday the county board
decided the matter Of the location and
building OF an additional bridge across the
Platte in Hall county, by granting the pc
tition for the bridge on the Denman line
and deciding, by a vote of 4 to 2, to build
the bridge directly by levy, instead of
submitting the question to the people by
way of a bond proposition, There were
three petitions, OF which the Denman pc
tition was the middle one as between west
and east. 1t was feared that a wrangle
as to location having arisen, a bond propo-
sition might not carry at the general cleo
ton and the safer, surer way Of getting the
Platte bridged here, was taken. Hall
county will, with the new bridge, have
four bridges across the Platte and a fifth
owned jointly with Hamilton county. There
are four channels to cross on the Denman
line and 1t is the purpose to put one in
each year, or more If the usual funds per-
NIT.

by the federal constitution. The point was
also advanced that the act purports to
amend the old statute authorizing guar
anty companies to do business in Nebraska,
but Is in reality a complete enactment in
itself.
The state has demurred TO the petition
of the company on the ground that none
of the allegations therein contained tend
to show any injury inflicted upon the COM
~plainant or likely to be suffered by it.
As a further ground for combating the APP
plication, it is set forth that no showing
has been made that the rates fixed by the
State Bond Board are unreasonable. The
question raised is an academic one, and not
such as would call for any judicial inter
ference with the operation of the law.
The law under attack is one passed by
the last Legislature to meet a situation
created by the bonding companies and their
agents in forming a combine and attempt-
ing to raise rates as much as 800 per cent,
in some instances.

More Liberal Beet Contract.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Sept, ~2s.-(Spe-
cial.)-The American Beet Sugar company
will offer farmers a much better contract
next year than has been the case in the
past. It will pay S per ton flat for beets,
regardless OF the percentage Of sugar in
the beet. The farmer thus runs no risk.
The books Of the company are also thrown
open to contractors three months earlier,
this, it appears, being necessitated because
farmers have in recent years been allot-
ting more OF their better lands for win
ter wheat. 1t is expected that next years
run at the factory Will be for 100 days
instead Of the sixty days which will be re-
uuired to run the beets through this year.

BUCKING LEATHER TARIFF
Stated Trusts and Not Farmers
Would Be Favored by High Tariff
On Observation-Disclosures are More
Vitally Interested than the Farm
ers of the Country.

The northwestern leather trade is
making a strong protest against any
tariff duty on hides. Manufacturers
of leatener products will join in this
movement 1t is said that 20 per
cent. of the tanneries of the country
are under the control of the beef
trust and that tariff duty on hides
will aid the big packers to still more
completely control the raw material
used in shoe and harness industries.
It is also asserted that accurate
market records show that there is no
relation whatever between tn price
of beef cattle and raw hide, and that
duty will be of no benefit to the
American farmer since he sells his
fat cattle for beef and at prices
equivalent to their value for meat
alone and has always done SO. One
st. Paul manufacturer cites an in
stance in which a Montana shipper
sold a car OF fat cattle on the local:
market recently when prices hap
pened to rule low for the day, ut q
total, which was less than the value
OF the skins OF the animals sold.
