it There are 140 holes to be blast

the ground, a syste mof sub-irriga
tion will be installed which will fur
tker insure a fine growth of the
trees.'.- '. - - -

Nebraska and Belgium
Nebraska has 77,074 square miles
of land exclusive of lakes and
streams, according to reports sum
siarlzed by the state board of agri
culture. There are approximately
49,203,000 acres of land In the state.
However, these figures convey little
if any conception of the size of Ne
braska. Belgium has an area of 11373
aare miles. The population, ac
cording to the last census, is 7,317.
111. Twelve Nebraska counties ex
ceed the area of Belgium by 130
are miles and have a population
of 179,047. These counties, accord
ing to some agricultural experts, are
richer In resources than most of Bel
gian and, under the Intensive meth
ods applied there, would be capable
of supporting as many people as does
Belgium. The counties with their
area in square miles and population
according to the last census follow:

The city council met Tuesday
night for regular session. It was
decided to turn off the lights and
water of those who do not pay up
their bills. 11,000 was transferred
to the city park fund for use in im
proving the park. $1,300 was trans
ferred from the light fund to th
general fund and $300 from the wa
ter fund to the general fund. This
was in the nature of a return of
money to the general fund.
Those who dump ashes In the
streets are to be dealt with summar
ily. There Is a heavy fine for this
offense. The question of purchasing
cotton hose for the new flr trnk
was taken up. as the rubber hose is
not suitable for this purpose and
would soon be destroyed.
