Two Members, One Vistor.
At Monday noon meeting of the
Union Business Men's club which
was held in the library building and
served by the ladies of the Methodist
church, there .was the usual large
crowd present and all enjoyed the
excellent dinner and sociability
which marks these meeting. The
meeting was presided over by the
vice president, W. E. Moore, in ab
sence of Dr. Achenbach, who called
for introduction of those who weTe
there for the first time. W. B. Ban
ning introduced Paul Applegate, who
has made his home near Union for
many years and is one of the staid
farmers .which give value to the soil
by his excellent cultivation, and
good cititenship, he was greeted with
an enthusiastic welcome. Follow
ing, the good natured crowd greeted
Louis Burbee, the fine young busi
ness man. and whose co-operation
the club was pleased to have. Then
came the introduction of Robert
Troop of Plattsmouth, by his friend
and member, who in the introduc
tion, has to say that Robert Troop
was born September 22nd, 1847, in
Scotland and with the parents came
to America when he was one year
of age, settling in Davenport, Iowa,
where he grew to manhood and at
the time of the outbreak of the Civil
war, went to the front giving un
stintingly his service for the coun
try which he loved so well. For vour
years he was one of the boys who
did his best for his country, fighting
in twenty-six pitched battles, was
one of the boys in blue who fought
around and captured VIcksburg on
the Mississippi river, was taken pris
oner In the southwest, imprisoned
for eleven months in the confeder
ate prison at Tyler, Texas.
This place was situated on the
prairie with no shade but a stockade
made of boards sixteen feet high and
guarded with patrols who had a view
of the surroundings. Mr. Troop who
was something of a circus actor
turned handsprings and other stunts
many a time for a meal of some
thing more than mere corn and a
very decided laclf of water. - Her-wltb
a number of companions dug under
the stackade and made their escape
one night and had almost reached
the Union lines when the blood
hounds overtook them and chased
them to trees on the banks of the
Red river. The boys could hear the
baying of the hounds and the play
ing of the bugles of their own camp
but a short distance away at the
some time. They were returned and
finally exchanged. Following the
termination of the war, Mr. Troop
returned to Davenport and as the
Union Pacific was building came
west in 1866 and worked on that
road across Nebraska. Returning he
was married and came to Nebraska
to make his home in 1875 and since
resided in Cass county. When he
was asked to stand up he was show
ered with thunderous applause, and
greeted following the dinner by
many who were pleased to meet him.

FERE SITUATION BETTEE
Seattle, Wash. Battled to a
standstill by thousands of men and
checked by rain or higher humidity,
the forest' fire situation In the Pacific
northwest continued to show im
provement Tuesday.
Forecasts of more rain Wednesday
encouraged the Washington Forest
Fire association to order burning of
slashings which have been a serious
fire menace all summer in western
Washington, while forest officials in
central and eastern Washington re
ported the situation had improved
so ' that it appeared unnecessary to
call upon United States troops to aid
the civilian fire crews.
The city of Nelson, B. C, was
still in peril from the Hall :reek
fire, which raged in heavy timber
eleven miles north of the town.

Turns Fort
Leavenvorth
to U. S. Felons
Will House 1,800 Prisoners; Three
New Penitentiaries Will Be
Built at Huge Cost
Washington, Aug. 20. Two moves
toward relieving congestion in fed
eral penitentiaries were disclosed
Tuesday by President Hoover and At
torney General Mitchell.
The first, as announced by the
President, contemplates use by the
Department of Justice of three mili
tary prisons for incarceration of
criminals until completion of the
pending $6,250,000 construction pro
gram. Subsequently the attorney general
said the budget bureau had received
that program calling for. a new peni
tentiary in the northesast, industrial
reformatory in west and three short
term jails in sections yet to be select
ed. President Hoover had confered
with Secretary Good and Mr. Mitch
ell regarding the availability of the
military prisons. They determined
the disciplinary barracks at Fort
Leavenworth could be turned over
to the Department of Justice tem
porarily as soon as the 600 military
prisoners there could be transferred.
Barracks Available
The disciplinary barracks at Gov
ernor's Island and at Alcatraz also
were said to be available if neces
sary, but at present the Justice de
partment does not contemplate their
use.
Attorney General Mitchell said the
Fort Leavenworth barracks" could ac
commodate 1,800, and after these
barracks are turned over in about
two weeks they probably will be
operated as a part of Leavenworth
penitentiary.
As soon as organization is com
pleted, prisoners will be transferred
there from the Atlanta and Leaven
worth penitentiaries, in each or
which there are now 3.700 prisoners,
although the prisons were designed
to hold half as many.
The new penitentiary will cost
$3,000,000, the reformatory $2,
500,000, and the three jails $250,
000. -?t
Mr. Mitchell said the prcSram
first would have to be authorized
by the budget bureau and congress,
and then would take about six 3 ears
for completion. t
The attorney general hopes the use
of the Leavenworth barracks wili
meet the situation until the ew
penitentiary is completed. '
It will be designed to accommodate
2,000 prisoners, while the industrial
reformatory., would. accommodate ;1
000 prisoners and each of the jails
not more than 500 prisoners. ,
. He said the reformatory would be
conducted along the lines of the,
present federal reformatory for first
offenders at'Chillicothe, Ohio, which;
is a non-walled prison. Omaha Bee-;

PDOGRESS IN FOOD PRODUC
TION AND DISTRIBUTION
The economy, efficiency and high
standards of quality made possible
by mass production are to be brought
to consumers of food products.
The large company has acquired
some 50 nationally known, non-competitive
food specialties. Other com
panies plan projects of a similar na
ture. This is a logical change from the
wasteful food production and dis
tribution methods of the past. What
mass production has done for auto
mobiles, electricity and clotheseit
can do for food And the American
dinner table should benefit, by re
ceiving better and mode dependable
products at a lower and uniform
price.
ABANDON KILLINGS SURVEY
Washington -The proposed survey
by the department of justice to de
termine the number of citizens and
officers killed In the enforcement of
the prohibition law was said Tues
day by Attorney General Mitchell
to have been dropped. Efforts were
initiated ,by the department to find
out how many civilians had been
killed by prohibition enforcement
officers, state, federal and municipal,
and how many officers had lost their
lives in enforcing the law.
Answers to the inquiry, the attor
ney general said, showed that munici
pal and state officers had not kept
a record of prohibition killings and
that any figures garnered would be
entirely useless. For this reason the
survey was given up.
It had been planned to turn the
result-of the survey over to the re
sult of the survey over to the national
law enforcement commission.
