Game Warden Carters semi
annual report which will be issued
shortly will show that the fees and
fines collected this season exceed
those of any previous season also
that the income of the office has
been more than sufficient to de
fray the department expenses not
including those of the state fish
hatcheries through which no in
come of any nature is derived
In lieu of the usual statistical
map which will not be issued this
year the bureau of Labor and in
dustrial statistics will issue a ser
ies of monthly reports in pamphlet
form the state printing board
having decided to allow not to ex
ceed 25 per month for that pur
pose
Commissioner Bush is corres
ponding with the iabor depart
ments of Iowa Missouri South
Dakota and Kansas for the pur
pose of organizing an inter state
association which it is though will
facilitate the employment and
transportation of farm hands es
pecially during harvest time when
it frequently occurs that hundreds
of men lie idle in one state while
their services are demanded in
another and later on in the sea
son conditions are transposed
By co operation instead of com
petition between the states it is
thought that the transient labor
can be shipped from one point to
another as the season advances
thus giving the men steady em
ployment for many weeks and
greatly facilitating the harvest in
all sections
The semi annual apportion
ment of the temporary school
fund will be far in excess of what
it was last year during the corre
sponding months Treasurer
Mortensens monthly statement
just issued shows 24696678 in
the fund at the end of November
which sum will be swelled to
something over 250000 when
the apportionment is made
During the whole of Treasurer
Mortensens term interest rates
have been at the lowest ebb a
condition which if entirely satis
factory to Nebraskans in all other
respects is not calculated to in
crease the earning capacity of the
permanent school fund B y
keeping every penny of the per
manent fund invested Mr Mor
tensen has been able to make a
most handsome showing on prev
ious apportionment days and it
is most gratifying to learn that the
December disbursement probably
will exceed that of a year ago by
something like 18000
Adjutant General Culver is
outlining plans for a series of
practical as well as interesting ex
periments with the heliograph
apparatus furnished to the signal
corps at Fremont by the govern
ment and with which the Ne
braska boys scored such a remark
able success at Fort Riley
General Culver states that the
Nebraska corps already has ac
complished everything that is re
quired of similar organizations in
the regular service either at
manoeuvers or in time of actual
war but that he will not be satis
fied until Nebraska has set a new
mark for long distance communi
cation with the heliograph utiliz
ing the suns rays by day and
electricity by night A little
flash light conversation between
a detail located in the dome of the
state house and a squad occupy
ing an elevated station at Fre
mont is one of the tasks which
the corps will be expected to un-
take
