"When ono first alights from tho train In. tho section where this land Is locatod," said Mr. Guye, "he is struck with tbidea that he would not give 11 dents for all tho vacant land In Hint part of tho country. But as one gets out and sees what Is being done ho Is convinced that those who have settled upon this land are tho ones who havo solved the problem of mak ing a living easily. They depend upon tho increase in their cattle and horses for the profits on yie- farm. They havo plenty of fine water, easily ac cessible, plenty of grass for feed at all seasons of tho year and they seem to bo In a most prosperous condition, for falluro of crops does not affect them. If the general public knew tho real facts In regard to homesteads on thiB land I do not believe very much of it would remain untaken very long Mr. Guyo is Intensely interested In seeing settlers on this vacant land and In his letter, which ho wlll'soon pub lish, ho hopes that those Interested will take advantage of the facts In the caso which will be shown therein and husten to possess themselves of a homo of their own.

UUUbLfc VALUAI lUINii. Dual Reports on Union Pacific Right-of-Way. Doublo valuations upon tho right-of-way of tho Union Pacific In this state havo been reported to tho Stnto Rail way commission by the physical valua tion department of that body. One valuation list figures upon the regulai 200-foot right-of-way and tho othei lists, In addition, tho value of 200 feet more, a total of 400 feet of right-of-way. Tho filing of the doublo report Is occasioned by the dispute at present existing between settlers along tho main line of tho road and the com pany. Tho former claim that the act of 1864, under which they say the road was built through this state, gave tho company only 200 feet right-of-way. The company contends that tho act of 1862, granting It a full 400 feet right, of-way, was the measure under which it was built through tho state. Prac tically all of the territory from within a few miles of Omaha to the Wyoming state lino Ib concerned in tho double report, only that land being excluded which the company was forced to pur chaso outright. The one report llxlng a valuation upon the 200-foot right-of-way sets tho figures nt several times the vnluo oi surrounding town or country property, as tho case may bo. Tho 400-foot right-of-way valuation values half the amount upon the regular basis for such property, whilo the other 200 feet Is valued at tho same price as adjoin ing property. Which of tho valuations is accepted by tho commission will de pend upon tho action taken by con gross upon tho Norrls bill or by the federal courtb in adjudicating present contentions between the settlers and tho company. The Norrls bill, introduced at tho in stance of thho organized farmers' asso ciation, seeks to ucttlo the difficulty by granting the company only the 200 foot right-of-way. If this bill passes the Nebraska commission will accept the small main line right-of-way valua tion reported by Its valuation depart ment. Collections Will Cease. Governor Aldrich issued the follow ing: "I am directed by E. P. BIcknell, national director of the American Red Cross association, to announce that the time has now comefor a discon tinuance of tho collections for tho re lief of tho flood sufferers of the Mis sissippi floods, us It is believed that there is now sufficient to meet all de mands."

TO ASSEMBLE IN CHICAGO Nominees for President and Vlco President Will Ee Placed Before the People August 5th. New York. A call to tho peoplo of tho United States who are In sym pathy with tho "national progressiva movement" to send delegates to a na tional convention to open in Chicago August 5 was given out Sunday by United States Senator Dixon of Mon tana, tho colonel's manager. The call Is signed by members of tho commit too chosen at a meeting held in Chi cago, and also bore signatures of Roosevelt followers in forty states. "Tho territories have no place in a national convention and will not bo considered," declared Senator Dixon In commenting upon the signatures. "As for tho missing eight states, tho most of them probably will send delegates, although they havo not tak en part in the call. Maine, for In stance, postponed any definite action because there Is now a strong light on in tho primaries, with tho sym pathy running in favor of tho pro gressive movement. Delaware, North Carolina, Arkansas and Nevada prob ably will tako part In the convention. Mississippi and South Carolina may possibly bo unrepresented. "The call lays no rules as to tho methods of choosing delegates, since each stato will bo expected to select Its delegates by Its own parapher nalia. The representation will be cut down to Just one-half of the previous convention. This was deemed advls ablo since this convention is to be notably a deliberative body and will certainly be composed of a class of men altogether different lfrom those who usually attend conventions. "In all probability the convention will adopt tho name 'national pro gressives' for tho now party, but I sannot say definitely what will be done. Thus far no Issues have been authoritatively stated and of course tho platform itself will have to be de cided upon by the delegates." Tho text of the call is: "To the peo plo of tho United States without re gard to past differences, who, through repeated betrayals realize that today the power of the crooked political bosses and of the privileged classes behind them is so strong in tho two old party organizations that no help ful movement in tho real interest of our country can come out of either. "Who believe that the time has come for a national progressive move menta nation wide movement on non-sectional lines, so that the peo plo may bo served in sincerity and truth by an organization, unfettered by obligation to conflicting interests. "Who believe fn tho right and ca pacity of tho peoplo to rule them selves and effectively to control all the agencies of their government, and who hold that only through social and Industrial Justice, thus secured, can honest property find permanent pro tection. "To all in accord with views hero sot forth a call is hereby issued by tho provisional committee under the resolution of tho mass meeting held In Chicago on Juno 22 last to each stato to send a number of delegates to tho convention at Chicago on tho fifth day of August, 1912, for thq purpose of nominating candidates to be sup ported for tho positions of president and vlco president of tho United States."
