The new company Is the first and only
one of its kind In the state of Vebraska
and Is one of the few in the weat. Th
com: an v will rut up piilk In cans of va-

lhe men behind the new concern to make
the I'lkhorn brand as popular In Omaha
sn.l ti e et as the Vvirden brand la In In
Chicago.
In establishing the new factory ths con
densing company manager believe they
sill be able to meet successfully the prob
lem of supplying milk to the people of
Omaha at all times of the year. They
plan to take care of the surplus at certain
timea of th year and to hew such a sup
ply that there mill be no shortage of milk
and a consequent advance In the 'price.
They will keep the supply of milk in thia
city, the promoters dcclart, at a normal
point all during the ear. Th factory,
thry believe. iil be of Immense bent fit to
Ou.aha and surrounding town.

' rite pirblom of supplying milk to the
people of a metropolitan city is very ss-
rt ius aniS Important, from a businea as
ell as a sanitary standpoint. Th supply
and the demand never are equal. There are
rS months and seasons whea there I
s.i ovu production of milk by th farmer
and the demand In town 1 normal. Other
t.n e the consumption la abnormal ana th
supply short. In the building and opera
tion of a modern evaporating milk factory
we expect to beable to take care of all
surplus milk In the Immediate territory sur
rounding Omaha at all time of the yeut
and develop the milk supply so that at no
time of the year shall there be a shortage
such as existed last summer.
"A condensed milk and canning faotory
I what I would call a 'safety valve' on
the milk supply. Farmer developing dairy
farma and herd will be assured of an out

in Omaha, Council Bluffs snd South Omaha
will be assured of a supply at a reasonable
price at all times."

By a vote of seven to three Councilmen
Davis and Bridges being absent, the city
council at an adjourned meeting Friday
morning voted to reconsider its action In
passing the McGovern resolution which
provided for the appointment of a com
mittee by the mayoi which should so to
Lincoln and use Its efforts to get the law
creating the Omaha Water board repealed.
Following the motion to reconsider a mo
tion was mad and carried by the same
vote placing the McGovern resolution on
file. The vote to reconsider was shot
through without argument, save a futile
attempt on the part of Councilman Mc
Govern. the father of the resolution, to
get the chair to rule In his favor on a
point of order on which Chairman Brucker
riled against blm. ,
When the meeting, an adjourned one
from Tuesday night, was called to order
Councilman Berka was on his feet in a
minute snd offered a motion providing
lliat tbe council reconsider its action In
paablng the resolution. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Johnson. McGov
ern rose to a point of order, contending
that Berka's motion was out of order, as
the resolution was In the hands of the
mayor and that the council had no right
to reconsider. Berka contended that the
meeting was an adjourned one and for that
resjK'O the motion was In order. Brucker
ruled In his favor.
Roll tall la Ilesuaadrd.
A roll call was demanded. Councilmen
Hummel, Burraeater and McGovern voted
against the measure, and Councilmen
Funkbouser, Sheldon. Berka. Schroeder,
Johnaon, Kugel and Brucker voted aye.
Notwithstanding the council voted to re
consider. Councilman McGovern contenda
that the resolution Is In full force snd that
the action of the council was out of order.
His opinion Is shared by many city ball
officials, who say the council overstepped
its rights. McGovern contends that If the
council Intended to reverse itsalf, it should
bav offered a resolution rescinding the
original resolution.
The council had no right to reconsider
thla resolution," declared McGovern after
the meeting. "And It la In a full force
as It was when It wa passed. The council
overlooked a bet. When Mayor Dahlman
tailed to sign the resolution or veto It and
returned It to the city clerk unsigned. It
bad th same effect aa If he aigned it.
The resolution waa returned by the mayor
Friday morning after the meeting un
signed, which give the effect of signing
It, So the resolution la binding.
NfGstira State th Law.
The law provide that any concurrent
resolution must go to the mayor lthio
forty-eight hour from the time It la
paseed. and the ma or shall thea bate
thre days within which to sign or veto
It. The law also provides that if the
mayor returns a document anjlgned within
thla time. It shall have the asm effect
as If ha signed It. Thla th maor did. so
he approves the resolution."
Major Iwhlman admit returning the
resolution unsigned. He aa L did thi
after he had been told by Councilman
Funkhouser that the council had passed
a motion, rescinding Its former action.
"Mr. Funkhouser came to my office and
told me a motion had been passed, rescind
ing the resolution. I then returned the
document unsigned. If there 1 a mistake.
It lays with the councilman who made
the motion, and the misunderstanding of
th motion by Mr. Funkhouser."
The records of the meeting ahow that
Berka'a resolution was to reconsider the
resolution.

Omaha. Returna were received from the
balloon Friday showing that it had dropped
exactly twenty mile from the place It
etarted.
There wa another pretty' ascension from
Fort Omaha Thursday. From the time the
balloon wa released It aoared for one
