7 THE OLD VETERANS
J SENATOR BURKETT
LMER J BURKETT United States Senator from Nebraska is asking a nomination
at the hands of the republican voters of the state for a second term
His record in Congress and one term in the United States Senate is so well
known to the people of Nebraska that comment here is unnecessary He has a record
of doing things and while it has not always been possible for him to get just exactly
what he wanted he has certainly done all in his power to advance the material interest
of the people of Nebraska
The State has never had a representative in the National Congress who has ac
complished more nor attained a higher standing in the councils of the nation He is
probably entitled to more credit for the passage of the Postal Savings Bank law and the
extension of rural free delivery than any other man in Congress The positions he has
attained to upon important Senate Committees especially on the appropriation Commit
tee is an asset to the State that can be attained only by experience and length of faith
ful service something that a new man would not reach except by the same strenuou
route traveled by Senator Burkett in his long years of service
Nebraska can hold her own and come to the important place she deserves in national
affairs only by retaining her tried and true representatives Every voter should remem
ber this and under the Primary System it devolves upon each individual voter to go to
the polls and see that we lose no advantage already gained through the efficient service
of our senior senator
TUESDAY AUGUST 16th EVERY VOTER WHO BELIEVES IN ELECT
ING A SENATOR BY THE DIRECT VOTE OF THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE SURE
TO RECORD HIS VOTE DO NOT DELEGATE TO SOMEONE ELSE THIS DUTY
YOU OWE AS A CITIZEN The old veterans appreciating the service rendered by
Senator Burkett have made a platfornrf or him specifying some of the things he has al
ready achieved and shows something of his ability to accomplish what he undertakes
The Senator stands squarely on the Platform of the Republican party which is
progressive in every particular and insists always that lines must be sanely drawn but
be in keeping with new ideas and necessities He is in the prime of life clean morally
and politically honest and able a hardworking painstaking and faithful public servant
and deserves the support of every true Nebraskan

Does Larkin Use Dog Grease
A rather amusing piece of informa
tion has come into the hands of Jour
nal It has to do with a concern lo
cated in Globe Ind and the report
Issued by the United States govern
ment The report has come into the
hands of The Journal and reads as
follows
United States Department of Agricul
ture Bureau of Animal Industry
Local Office Chief of Bureau Wash
ington D C
Sir Referring to your letter of
the 29th inst also telegram of same
date concerning rendering works at
Globe Ind you are advised that 1
have visited the plant and find that
It is known as the National Render
ing Company with office in Exchang
Building Union Stock Yards Chica
go 111 Mr Edward Meyer Is the
manager
The building is a two story frame
structure with no cellar and is much
the same as all rendering establish
ments Evidently considerable care
is exercised by the management to
keep the place as clean as possible
The plant is equipped with boilers
and engine thirteen tanks 12x6 feet
pressed vats in which oil tallow and
grease are drawn off also roller for
drying tankage No commercial fertil
izer is made at this plant but the
dried tankage is sold to other factor
ies
The various products of this plant
are white grease B White grease
brown grease tallow and horse oil
These various products are made
from cattle sheep and hogs that
die in the Union Stock yards also
those that die in cars en route to
market
In warm weather these carcasses
are delivered to the plant in the af
ternoon of the day on which they ar
rive and in cold weather the morning
after A great many dead horses ana
dogs from the city are also sent to
this plant During the year 1905 the
following dead animals were handled
Hogs 254SG
Cattle 1214
Sheep 4504
Horses 9007
There are no facilities in this plant
for the manufacture of oleo oil or
lard All tierces in stock in the stor
age house were labelled white grease
tallow etc The tierces are all old ones
and evidently not well cleaned No
shop tallow or fat are received here
The Larkin Soap Company Buffalo
N Y takes 75 per cent of the out
put during the summer Pfau Sons
Jeffersonville Ind and the Globe
Soap Company Cincinnati Ohio also
purchase soap material here A good
many sales are also made through
brokers
There is nothing about the place to
indicate that it is other than what it
is supposed to be
Very respectfully signed S E
Bennett inspector in charge
P S Tanks are cooked at a pres
sure of forty pounds
Of course it is not said in this gov
ernment report that the Larkin soaps
are made out of dog grease furnished
by this rendering works and yet the
statement is so clear that certainly
one is justified in advising their
friends that Larkin buys dog grease
1 to make soap of
A Pacific Coast Trip
Concluded from last week
The trip from Sacramento to Mar
ced where we staid over night was
uneventful Took a branch road at
330 next morning for Yosemite Val
ley The ride from Merced to El
Portel which is the gateway to the
Yosemite National park was very
fine winding along the banks of the
beautiful Merced river with its ever
changing panorama We reached the
ElPortel hotel in time for breakfast
It was a surprise after riding seventy
eight miles up the valley with little
sign of civilization to reach such a
delightful place with its broad veran
das and up to now appointments Af
ter breakfast we donned our linen
dusters and took the stage into the
losemite National Park in the heart
of the Sierra Nevada mountains in
central eastern California 14 stages
in party
The park covers a domain thirty
six by forty eight miles the valley
iself is tbout sown miles long by
vi to 1 j miles v do Its center is
a level park like uicdtw through
vhiiii the liver iuns amid
gnnes of tall pines and groups of
black oaks interspersed with grass
plots made bright by many varieties of
wild flowers and great ferns in se
cluded places Above this level rise
walls to great heights Sculp
tured giants like into domes and half
domes recessed for dropping rivers
these Sierra walls surround the mea
dow and make of it the floor of a
great canyon
Entering the valley all coaches
drawn by four horses on the south
wall are Bridal Veil falls The water
wall are Bridal Viel falls The water
having a drop of 940 ft The stream
is thirty ft wide Around the should
er behind which Bridal Veil creek
makes its way to the brink are Ctha
dral rocks They reach an elevation
of 2GG0 feet above the valley floor
On the left and nearly opposite is
El Capitan which is well named ris
ing as it does in majestic grandeur
to a height of 3300 ft and has two
faces nearly at right angles with each
other It projects into the valley like
a buttress and presents a superficial
area of over 400 acres On past Eagle
Peak the Three Brothers Sentinal
Rock and Sentinel Dome whose top
is 4142 feet above the valley We
are now about the center of the val
ley among the hotels and camps the
little postoffice and opposite the
great waterfall called after the valley
As we remained in the coach a
short drive beyond landed us at
Camp Curry in time for dinner
Camp Curry one of the most beautiful
camps in the park presided over by
Mr D A Curry The genial proprie
tor has an unfailing store of enter
tainment for his guests and accom
modations for about five hundred
Bath hot and cold water every thing
cozy convenient and clean A gener
al dining room where splendid meals
are served in good style and the
waiters are experts After a bounti
ful dinner we went to Happy Isles
and Vernal Falls Returned in the
evening sat around a huge camp fire
while calls and messages were sent
up to the Glacier Point hotel which
is built on top of the cliff which
towers 3000 feet above the camp
Glacier Point is perhaps the most
popular objective point in this vast
amphitheatre On the way we pass
Vernal and Nevada Fsdls returning
down the short zigzag trail past Sen
tinel Rock Glacier Point is espe
cially remarkable for its commanding
position and its great vertical height
At the Point an iron railing protects
visitors and sometimes from here
fire works are displayed At the
head of the valley clouds rest and
over against the south wall stands
the highest rock of all the region the
Great Half Dome 5000 ft above the
valley Its massive front is cleft
straight down for about 2000 ft and
the fractured face turned outward is
polished by wind and storm It dom
inates the valley from almost every
point
Immediately beneath this great dome
snuggled in its little nook is Mirror
Lake Without a riffle it lies there
reflecting the scarred face of Diablo
as it is pictured by the shadows on
the Half Dome and other crags and
trees are pictured as in a mirror
About three miles to the south around
by the trail we get a view of Vernal
Falls a fall of marvelous beauty in
the dark canyon
The river is eighty feet wide and
drops straight down 350 feet The
spray is driven outward like steam
and the grass and foliage is kept
vividly green by this continuous bath
ing in the mist The zigzag trail
leads ro tiie top of the fall Not
quite a mile beyond is Nevada Falls
where the same river plunges down
700 feet The descent is not sheer
The foamy torrent glances from slop
ing rock making a beautifully grace
ful double curve
Seen for the first time from the
center of the valley Yosemite Falls
seem insignificant It is in fact
about 35 feet wide and when the
stream is full the roar of the falls
can be heard all over the valley and
the concusion of its descent shakes
J windows a mile distant Half way
across the valley it Is hard to realize
that this volume of water plunges
2G00 feet a half mile As seen
from the foot path as you walk to
ward it seemingly it is an unbroken
fall from its granite lip to its final
impact on the foor of the valley
And as we draw nearer the volume ol
water the yellow and gray granite
wall the verdure of the trees and
movements of the descending tor
rent combine to make it the most
wonderful and beautiful water fall in
the world In reality it is not one
but three In past ages doubtles3
it leaped from the topmost edge of
the cliff 3000 feet to the valley floor
but some convulsion has shaken dowi
the original front to a point half way
down and the first fall is now 1000
feet of sheer descent Then come
cascades partly hidden through 000
feet downward and a final leap of
400 feet straight down
Yo Semite can be visited all the
year round and each season has its
own special delights and advantages
In the spring the melting snow fills
the rivulets and the falls are run
ning full power In the summer the
highest trails are accessible in the
fall the colorings of the plant life and
softly fading leaves make it the art
ists paradice of color and in the win
ter as the floor of the valley Is cover
ed white and the trees droop under
their burden of snow the cold gray
peaks pictured against the sky lends
a picture of vastness and sublimity
We leave the valley in the early
summer to bloom for othors
