In the opinion of Congressman Willis O. Sears, who returned to Omaha from Washington at midnight Monday, tie will remain here through the summer. The eongressman predicted that at the next session of congress a survey of the arid portions of.the wheat belt and plans for Its reclamation would he authorized. "This project would make Omaha a city of 500,0(10 population," he de clared. "The strip of wheat belt land between the Rooky mopntains and the Missouri river, a tract approximately 2,000 miles long and 500 miles wide, would he made fertile by Irrigation." Eventually the government will take over the project of the Tri County Supplementary Water associa tion, Sears believes. This association proposes to harness the Platte river and with its waters reclaim more than 1,000,000 acres of dry Nebraska land by irrigation. More Wheat Needed. "There Is urgent need of a greater wheat crop." said Congressman Sears. "If the last wheat crop had been as far below the average as It was above a national calamity would have re; suited. W'heat would have sold at from |6 to $10 a bushel. Mere chance Is a large factor In such a crop. “One-third of the wheat land be tween the Missouri river and the Rocky mountains Is too arid for farm ing, although Its soil Is fertile. A bill to reclaim this land will be the most important bill before the next congress. Reclamation would add un told wealth to the United States and especially to this district. "One great service It will render would be the elimination of the detri ment of the Panama canal to the rail roads of the middle west. The canal is responsible for the high freight rates In the west. Railroads are find ing shipping through the Panama canal is cutting Into their overland transportation, being cheaper. In order to maintain their lines they have been obliged to raise inland freight rate*. "The wheat crop which could he raised on reclaimed land would sup ply an abundance of shipping. Con gressmen understand the predicament and know the Immense value of the. canal to coast cities and what the reclamation project would mean to the railroads.” Vtailed Canal Zone. Congressman Sears recently visited the Panama canal. He Is an airplane cnthulast and realizes the need of adequate defense of that defense key.

STEIN WAY THE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS I j(JOHN POWELL AT HIS S T EI N W A Yj I -<r* ^ | No MATTER where the Steinway goes it carries with it the very essence of the great and subtle art of music. Its response to the hand and spirit of the musician is un equaled. Through its miraculous singing tone the most exquisite passages and the most profound measures of the j, § great composers attain their full significance. It was chosen by Liszt and Rubinstein. It is the choice of such '' j pianists as Paderewski, Rachmaninoff and Hofmann. But the greatest tribute to its excellence is this—that the overwhelming majority of Steinway pianos have been bought by people of moderate means, who have realized the true economy that lies in buying the best. Always the most satisfactory. Always the cheapest in the end. I To this public the Steinway is sold, as a matter of • principle, at the lowest possible price, and upon terms that keep it well within the reach of every true lover of music.
