ECHOES OF THE AITEROOJI
Deeds for blocks 6 and 1, In the northern
part of South Omaha, have been recorded
by M. C. Peters, and an alfalfa stock food
mill for South Omaha Is assured. In dis
cussing his project Mr. Peters said Archi
tect Kimball is now engaged In drawing
plans for the mills. Temporary buildings
will be erected as a starter and the new
mills are to be In operation by September 1.
"Io not think," said Mr. Peters, "that
because wo are putting up temporary
buildings they will be of the tar-shanty
kind. Nothing of the sort is intended. It
will take us fully a year to complete the
construction of our permanent buildings.
South Omaha people must have a little pa
tience In matters of this kind."
Mr. Peters said he had bought the ma-
chlfery In the old Hammond plant. The
boilers will bp bought In Chicago and Mr.
Peters left on Saturday morning for the
windy city to close contract for the boil
ers. Before going east Mr. Peters Joined
the -South Omaha Commercial club. In
presenting his application and membership
fee to Secretary Cllver, Mr. Peters said ho
was here to stay and was ready at all times
to do everything In his power to boost
South Omaha.
In. addition to Joining the Commercial
club Mr. Peters has carried out his contract
with the city by furnishing a bond in the
American Bonding company of Baltimore
for t2,y. This bond Is given to support
his agreement with the city to construct,
equip and begin to operate a mill for the
manufacture of food for stock within one

Grand Army of the Republic.
Grant post No. 110, Grand Army of -the
Republic, recently has adopted a feature
regarding the observance of the po"t
toward the families of deceased members
and In respect to the dead comrade that
Is destined to become very generally ob
served. It has hitherto been the practice
of the pot to send flowers to the house
on the occasion of the death of a com
rade. This custom, while a beautiful one,
seemed to lack the full expression of sym
pathy the pot desired to convey, and at
fVe last meeting of the post it was de
cided, upon the motion and suggestion of
Dr. R. M. Stone, historian of the pot. to
provide a handsome silk flag to be placed
upon the bier of tho dead comrade and
to be burled with him, if the family so
desired, or the flag could be kept by the
family as a memento of the sad event if
they so preferred. A number of flags have
already been procured for this purpose.
They are of silk, and 3x5 feet in slse.
There have been fifty-three deaths In
Grant post since its organization in 1SS2.
The first death occurred In 1888. The great
est mortality In the post In any one year
was eight, in the year 1902. In 1904 thete
were but four deaths. However, the
present year promises to surpass all
previous years In Its mortality record.
Thus far during 1906, but five and one-
half months, there have been six deaths
among the members of the post, out of a
total membership of 118.
