the Hough scheme of helping the very

WILL
ASK LEGISLATION
Anti -TrusS Law and Sherman
Act Topics Of Special
Message

Washington, Dec. 28-President Taft
today began the preparation of the
first of his special messages to con-
gress. This message will deal with
the amendments which he believes
are necessary in the interstate COM
merce and Sherman antitrust acts.
Recent reports to the contrary not
withstanding, it is known that the
president will take up the antitrust
act and deal with it at great length.
He will also bring forward his ideas
as to issuing federal licenses to cor
porations. The proposed license will
be a voluntary one, to be taken advan-
tage of by such corporations as de-
sire to place themselves under the fed
eral jurisdiction or left alone as the
directors of the corporations see fit.
1t has been currently reported for
some time that President Taft might
delay his anti-trust recommendations
until the supreme court had finally
passed upon the recent Standard Oil
decision. Those to whom the presi-
dent has talked within the last day
or two, however, say he has decided to
go forward with his legislative pro-
gram regardless of the pending deci-
sion and having determined that many
changes are needed in the antitrust
law, he will proceed to recommend
these changes without regard to the
Standard Oil case. The PRESIDENT g
message will be ready for, reading in
the two houses of congress on We'd
nesday, January S, and undoubtedly
will be listened to with far greater In
terest than was the regular message
read at the opening Of the session.

NELSON MAY BE CHAIRMAN.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The fourth
coming congressional Investigation of
the so-called Ballinger-Pinchot con-
troversy was the subject of confer
ence today between President Taft
and Representative Dalzell of Penn
sylyania, one of the Republican lead
ers of the house. Dalzell said after
the interview that the investigation
will unquestionably be carried for
ward by joint committee composed
of from five to seven members. Presi-
dent Taft has agreed with the lead
ers of the senate and house that a
joint investigation, open to the pub
lie, will be the means of thoroughly
dealing with the matter. 1t was re-
ported today that Senator Nelson of
Minnesota might be chairman of the
committee.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2s.-With food
products becoming scarcer and their
price consequently higher, with street
railway traffic uncertain and slow and
with railway trains arriving late,
Philadelphia today was still busy
raising the blockade caused by the
great Christmas snow storm. Only
twenty-five par cent of the daily milk
supply reached the city yesterday and
the wholesale milk dealers estimated
that today's supply would be twenty
five per cent below normal. Eggs,
vegetables and other food products
were scarcer today and prices went
up all around.

NEBRASKA Plant
FOR THE ASKING
Sugar Factory Can be Had by
Anyone Who Will
Operate It

Norfolk, Neb.. Dec. 2S.-Will you
accept the old Norfolk sugar factory
buildings, including twelve 100
horse power boilers, in perfect con-
dition. and twenty acres of the best
land Nebraska affords. as gift?
It's yours for the asking.
Any person or persons viii will in
stall a factory in the old sugar fac
tory buildings at Norfolk and will
employ fifty persons the year around
or one hundred persons six months
in the year and operate the plant for
twenty-five years will be given clear
deed to the buildings and twenty
acres of ground.
You can have that property free of
rent right now. Start your factory,
your packing house OF whatever
other industry you have in mind that
will employ an average of fifty per-
sons the year around. and those
buildings and grounds are yours, rent
free, while you operate the plant.
For the first time since the Ameri-
can Beet Sugar company removed it's
factory from Norfolk to Lamar, Col,
five years ago. the Norfolk Industrial
people who contributed the $15O,0OO
to get the factory to come here twen-
ty years ago. are in position to re-
ceive propositions looking toward re-
utilizing the old factory buildings
The title to the property has just
been turned over to the industrial
company and officers of the company
authorize the offer as made above.
The property includes altogether
two hundred and forty acres of land.
That land is worth probably from
$3.50 to 5000 anacre. After giving
away twenty acres of this land to the
man who will start something in
those abandoned factory buildings.
the industrial company would retain
two hundred and twenty acres of the
land and it is anxious to give away
the building and twenty acres of
land, in order to increase the value
of the balance of the land and thus,
by selling it off, recover what portion
they can of the $150,000 which they
gave, back in 1890, to the Oxnards to
start sugar factory here.
A Building Two Blocks Long.
The main building is mammoth
structure about two city blocks in
length and proportionately wide and
high. Its walls are of brick and ce-
ment mortar and are two feet thick.
The twelve 100-horse-power boilers
are in perfect condition as are all the
buildings. The industrial company
has employed men to keep up the
property in order that it might not
go to pieces and deteriorate.
The plant stands on the bank of
the Northfork river. which could be
utilized for water power. A dam is
already built at the factory.
The factory stands on a Northwest
ern railroad spur, with an extensive
switching yard at the plant. The
property is just "a mile north of the
business part of Norfolk and stands
on the Norfolk-Dalls line of the
Northwestern railroad.
Among the types of Industries that
have been suggested as possibilities
are packing plant. tapping the
north Nebraska and southern South
Dakota live stock territory; brewery,

May Recognize. Madriz.

Managua, Nicaragua, Dec. 2S.-Rear
Admiral William Writ kimball, in
command of the American warships
at Corinto, arrived at Managua today.
He was accompanied by George T.
Weitzel. secretary of the American
legation at Panama, and two naval
aides. The object of Admiral Kim
balls visit was to pay an unofficial
call on President Madriz. A great
crowd gave them cordial greeting,
after which they drove to hotel in
the presidential carriage. Several
American flags were displayed and
although there was no demonstration
considerable excitement prevailed.
1t was rumored that the visit might
mean the. recognition of President
Madriz by the United States. Admiral
Kimball, however, was emphatic in
his assertion that he called on the
president only in his pirate capacity.
He refused to permit the gorgeously
uniformed aide. whom President Mad
riz sent. to ride on the box of the
presidential carriage.
Ernesto Martinez, the former
finance minister, wanted on the
charge of misappropriation of public

Estrada's Thanks.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-A telegram
from the revolutionary party of MIC
aragua was received today by the
American Red Cross society, thank
Ing the society for its work in re-
lieving the distress of the soldiers of
the government army captured near
Rama and now quartered in Blue
nelds. The telegram, which was
signed by General Estrada. said in
part:
1T is with profound appreciation
that We Nicaraguans view the chari-
ty and kindness which characterlzes
your work for humanity. The mes
sage which brought the shocking
news of the distressing condition in
which our captives arrived in Blue
fields could have but just reached
you ere your directors had given in
structions through your state depart
ment for the issuance of supplies for
the subsistence of the Zelayan sick
and weary. Now by the fortunes of
war under our care the resources of
the revolution are sufficient only to-
provide for its troops and the many
hundreds forced upon us by the sur
render of Zelaya's entire army at
Recreo would have placed us in a
critical position had it not been for
your noble action.
"Nicaraguans are appreciative and
will not forget your prompt relief,
and the fervent prayers of its people
in thanks for your bounty were Of
fered on Christmas day in our
churches. Representing the revolu-
tion and personally, l communicate
eternal gratitude"

Hank Peters Meets With a Turrihls
 Disappointment & a Bad Cold After Several Mites of Weary Watching Full PartiekIsrs Below

Hank Peters who lives on a farm one mile west aofT BingvilieA had a curious experience last week, and as a result he is at present laid up in bed with a cold on his lungs and is being doctofed up by Doc Livermore, our human speci- alist and veterinary surgeon.
 On Monday morning of last week as Hank was passing through his orchard, he seen the tracks of big deer in the snow under a apple tree near where the woods is, at one end of the orchard, and upon investigation found that this deer had been feeding on some apples which had fell from the tree last fall and had become froze Hank he req soned to hisself that them froze apples must taste pretty good to the deer and that he would come back for some more the next night, so he made up his mind he would get that deer, which would be sufficient to keep hisself and wife in meat for the rest of the winter.
 We'll, jest before dusk Monday even- ing, Hank he took his old muzzle loader rifle and snuk out into the orchard and clim up into the apple tree, where the froze apples was, and he sets there waitin for the deer to come along. Hank set and set and set, until it got SO dark he could not see nothing whatever By and by the moon come tip and still he kept on setting, but no deer hove in sight. Hank said he thought to good ness he should freeze to death spite of the fact that he had his buffalo coat on and his mits and the ear-flaps of his fur cap pulled down over his ears. He kalkilated that the thermometer must of been about 14 degrees below zero He said that his hands got so numb that he didn't kalkilate he could pull the trigger even if lie did see deer, and being as he feared he would freeze to death, up there in the tree, he finally slid down and went to the house where he built up a big fire and thawed out. He looked at the clock and it was only o:30 p. m.
 Hank who had got warmed up tux his rifle and went back to set in the tree again, and thus he kep watch of and on until daylight but no deer come into sight and SO he returned to the house in disgust.
 On Tuesday night he made up his mind he wouldn't watch, but on We'd nesday morning his disgust was deeper than ever when he discovered that the deer had been tramping around under the tree the night before, so on We'd nesday night Hank made up his mind he would watch for the deer again, so he dressed for the occashion. He wore four pairs of woolen socks, two suits of underwear, all the coats he could pull on and fixed hot soap stone up
