Nebraska Plans Campaign For
Immigrants
Omaha Feb 5 Nebraska is
preparing a whirlwind campaign
for settlers and the promoters of
the campaign confidently expect
to see the number of inhabitants
of the state increase by fully 100
OOO
It is believed that a large part
of these new settlers will be drawn
from the farms of Pennsylvania
Ohio the New England States
and the South although an effort
will also be made to show the
factory workmen throughout
the crowded eastern cities that
they can by coming to Nebraska
inja few years be in independent
positions instead of slaving day
after day for comparatively mea
ger wages But the efforts of the
men behind the scheme will not
end at the farmer and the work
man but will reach across the
Atlantic and will endeavor to in
fluence immigrants to come
direct from Ellis Island to Omaha
here to be distributed to different
parts of the state according to
their desires after learning the re
sources of the different counties
The business men of the entire
state are aroused over the propo
sition and if the fame of Nebraska
is unsung throughout the Union
this summer and fall it will be
because the plans have failed
First the solons of the Nebraska
Legislature are to be asked to
devote two per cent of all the
State taxes to an advertising
fund This itself is an enormous
amount but even this sum is to
be only the nucleus of a still
greater fund which will be sub
scribed by the different commer
cial bodies of the State
A moving picture show similar
to that used by the Nebraska
commission at the St Louis Ex
position will be sent East and
will show in hundreds of the
smaller towns throughout the sec
tions to be canvassed The show
will be free and in addition to an
hours display of interesting mov
ing pictures depicting scenes in
Nebraska a good lecturer will ex
plain to the audience the pictures
thrown on the screen
Among other scenes used there
will be one of an immigrant ar
If you are thinking of investing in land be
sure and call on me for my list of fine farms
I have some very attractive propositions near
town that will prove to be money makers A
very large number of farms were sold in the
Culbertson neighborhood this winter and still
there are excellent chances for men of moder
ate means to secure for themselves a home
that they can call their own Irrigated sub
irrigated table and divide lands at very reas
onable prices and easy terms
Alfalfa Land Worth 75 per Acre
The Nebraska Farmer published a booklet in 1903 in which the author made the follow
ing statement Every acre of alfalfa up to the limit of the stock carrying capacity of the
farm is worth 75 as a land investment or farm resources in the live stock opirations of the
land owner Great opportunity for profit is afforded on the majority of farm through alfalfa
alone On the west side of the state where semi arid conditions exist there the most success
ful crops of both hay and seed have been produced
I have on my list several farms that will grow as fine alfaii as can be grown in the state
and that from 20 to 25 per acre One farm of 320 acres nearly half of which will grow
alfalfa can now be had for 2200 The same place will grow beets very successfully The
G W Watkins farm has 250 acres that will grow alfalfa and this generally considered the
best farm in the valley between the two towns can be had for 25 if bought soon

the lowest percentage of illiterates

in Nebraska belongs to the per

them to come to Nebraska to

SPIDER SILK
Its Wonderful Strength Elasticity
utid IuNiiK Quality
The astronomer after the experience
of many years ban found that the spi
der furnishes the only thread which
can be successfully used in carrying
on his work writes Ambrose Swazey
In the Scientific American
The spider lines mostly used are from
one fifth to one seventh of a thousandth
of an inch iu fliameter and in addition
to their strength and elasticity they
have the peculiar property of Avlth
standing grit changes of temperature
and often when measuring the sun
spots although the heat is so intense
as to crack the lenses of the microme
ter eyepiece yet the spider lines are not
In the least injured
The threads of the silkworm al
though of great value as a commercial
product are so coarse and rough com
pared with the silk of the spider that
they cannot be used in such instru
ments
Spider lines although but a fraction
of a thousandth of an inch in diameter
are made up of several thousands of
microscopic streams of fluid which
unite and form a single line and it is
because of this that they remain true
and round under the highest magnify
ing power-
A SCHOOLBOYS DECISION
Different It Mip lit Have Chunked tlia
Worlds History
When Charles Wesley one of the
founders of Methodism was at school
a gentleman of the same name intro
duced himself by letter to the boys
father and declared his intention of
making Charles his heir says a writ
er From that time forth the bene
factor discharged the boys liability at
school and behaved as the handsomest
Santa Claus all the year round After
some years the incognito asked the boy
if he Avould accompany him to Ireland
Charles eventually decided against go
ing The stranger went his way alone
In Ireland he struck up an acquaint
ance with a person who adopted his
name of Wesley or Wellesley became
the first Earl of Mornington grandfa
ther of the Marquis of Wellesley and
of the Duke of Wellington Had
Charles Wesley accompanied his bene
factor to Ireland there had been no
Methodist church British India might
still have been menaced by foes even
if it remained British at all Napoleon
would never have met his Waterloo
and England might have become an
appanage of France All this turned
upon the decision of a schoolboy
