J. O. Moore haa just returned from a
trip of a week in the northwestern part of
Nebraska on government business. Re
garding conditions In that section he said:
"The cattle never looked finer in the
history of the cattle industry In north
western Nebraska than now. There has
been an abundance of rain, fully as much
as in this section, and all the water holes
are full, with a fair prospect of remaining
o. Around Alliance and Crawford the
roads are muddy, an unusual thing for
those sections. There is not much wheat
or corn grown up there, but It Is a great
oats and potato country. The bulk of the
farming crop la potatoes and the wet sea
son has put the vines In splendid shape.
They are looking for the biggest potato
crop ever grown up there this year. I was
11 over the country and find the same gen.
eral prosperous conditions prevailing every
where throughout that section. They plant
potatoes o there much as we do corn in
the southern pJKta of the state. They have
regular potato planting machines, some
thing like a lister. When the crop is har
vested the tubers are put In pits, or caves,
holding from 1,500 to 2,000 bushels. There
are many homesteaders In the country as
well aa the cattle men, and potatoes are
the staple crop."
Fine In Southwest.
L. F. Davis, a resident of Dundy county,
Is an Omaha visitor. He is particularly
enthusiastic over crop conditions In the
south weat corner of the state and says:
"Things look so good out there now that
we hare forgotten all about the old time
droughts. I have been over considerable
Of Chase, Hayes and Hitchcock counties
within the past few weeks, and crops never
looked finer. We have had an abundance
of rain, but it hasn't hurt us any, for the
andy soil of that part of the state ' is
always thirsty. You ought to see the
wheat. It's simply great. Never better,
and If all signs do not fall It Is going to
be the biggest mortgage lifting crop ever
grown In the west. The alfalfa plantations
along the Republican, Frenchman, Blink
ing Water and Red Willow are the finest
ever grown there. Some corn is already
peeping through the ground and It looks as
if every kernel has sprouted. The hay
crop la going to be Immense and live stock

The rainfall was above normal generally
and exceeded two Inches In most central

Oats have grown slowly and generally are
In less promising condition.
Corn has come up slowly and quite gen

large amount of replanting will be neces
sary,' especially In the early planted fields.
In a few southern counties the cultiva
tion of corn haa begun. Strawberries are
ripening and are a large crop. Apples
give promise of a good crop. Cherries
promise a light to fair crop.

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, May S0.-(Speclal.) The at
torney general's brief In the biennial elec
tion law case will be prepared within a
few days, aa under an agreement with the
relator, O. B. Polk, the question of the
validity of the statute must be deter
mined at this term of the supreme court,
which concludes late In June. In order
to give the friends of the measure an
opportunity to do their best in sustain
ing the act, Lysla Abbott of Omaha, who
was employed by the County Officers' as
sociation to work for the enactment, has
been called Into consultation. F. I. Foss
of Crete, Former Supreme Judge Sullivan
of Columbus and Former Supreme Court
Commissioner Roscoe Pound of Lincoln
have been asked to give their views and
assist In presenting the case before the
court.

Lady May Secure Another Mcense.
Notwithstanding the action of the State
Insurance ' department In revoking the
license of Van B. Lady, the Omaha man
who represents a New York insurance com
pany. It Is probable that no serious re
sistance would be offered In the event
that he takes action to secure a reinstate
ment or a new license. Auditor Searle
states that his purpose waa chiefly to
vindicate the department from the charge
Implied In the alleged statement of Lady
that the company could purchase a right
to do business In the state. He had net
received any Intimation as to the action
which the agent will take, but will not
be surprised at any effort to secure reinstatement.
Lincoln Insurance men, while withhold
ing their opinion as to the Justification
for the action, say that there Is consider
able question as to the right of the de
partment to revoke a license summarily
because the department was lmpunged, the
statute having no provision with reference
to the subject.
