THE CHIEF CAUSE SEEMS TO BE
SIMPLE NEGLECT.
SOREPOB1SDEPUTY JOHNSON
Mr. Whedon Flics Hlo Application for
U. 8. Senator Other Matters at
the State Capital.
Chief Deputy Fire Commissioner A.
v. Johnson has submitted his first
annual report lo the governor , the
irst of the kind ever made.
The ofllce was created by the last
eglslature , which made 11 the duty of
the fire warden to Investigate the or-
gln of flrca , to the end that the prln-
ilpnl causes bo ascertained and an
educational campaign bo inaugurated
to minimize llro waste in the state
and ultimately lower the Insurance
ax.
Neglect of vtho common , everyday ,
slmplo precautions , finds Deputy
Tohnson , Is the cause of millions of
property waste and the loss of price-
ess lives. Out of 050 fires reported
to the office at least two-thirds of the
lumber are attributed to some form
of"carelessness. . The origin of 138
ilazes is unknown. Ono hundred and
forty were duo to matches in the
lands of children.
During the term the Insurance com
panies of the state paid into the Btato
rcasury the sum of $7,896.95 , and the
cport shows a balance of $3,875.40
above expenditures.
It is the duty of the fire warden
to carefully Investigate all fires BUS-
iccted of being of Incendiary origin.
The first complaint filed illustrates the
llfiiculty the w.trden must encounter
n fighting incendiarism. The com
plaint alluded to was filed at Belden ,
n Cedar county. The defendant was
icqultted on a technicality.
Files for Senator.
Charles O. Whedon has filed his
application to have his name placed
on the primary election ballot as a
: andldato for the republican nomlna-
{ i for United States senator. Mr.
Whedon paid his $50 to the county
.reasurer and brought his receipt to
he office of the secretary of state.
Secretary of State Junkln accepted
.he filing and unless someone enjoins
ilm the name will go on the ballot
to be voted for August 10 , the date
of the state primary.
Some time ago Attorney General
Thompson gave an offhand opinion
that the primary law prohibited the
lomlnation of candidates for the sen-
ite at the coming state primary.
In the law which fixed the filing fee
o bo paid by candidates the candi-
late for the senate must pay $50 , so
Secretary of State Junkiu decided that
; ie would accept filings from any can-
lidate who produced a receipt show-
ng he had paid to a county treasurer
the $50 filing fee.
To Vote On Saloons.
Within a short time a petition will
jo filed with the city clerk asking for
a special election to decide whether
Lincoln shall have saloons. Petitions
liavo been In circulation for some time
and those having the matter in charge
say they have 3,500 singers , with a
promise that many who would not
sign would vote for a wet town. The
election will bo called for some time
in the early part of April , which will
give the Russians who leave In the
springtime for the beet fields an op
portunity to vote.
Attorney Strikes Back.
Ernest R. Rlngo , county attorney of
Sarpy county , in a letter to Colonel
Furse , secretary to the governor ,
strikes back at the insinuation that
ho is winking nt violations of the
liquor laws at Fort Crook. Colonel
Gardiner had written the governor
that the law was being violated and
ho sent with his letter the testimony
taken nt a cornt martial , which
showed that the soldiers were buying
liquor from a man named Lowry.
Cancels Licenses.
Walker Smith , corporation clerk In
the office of the secretary of state ,
IKIB received from the printers the
copy of the pamphlets containing the
names of the corporations whose charters -
tors were cancelled for a failure to
pay mi occupation tax. The list con
tains 3,848 names.
Lincoln People Complain.
The people of Lincoln are keeping
the Burlington officials busy reading
letters of complaint against the way
things are managed nt the yard gates
in the depot. Complaints seem to
have been made against the gates ,
the keepers and everything connected
with them.
Bates Against Session.
Colonel Bates of Plattsmouth , mem
ber of the late democratic legislature ,
was a caller at the office of the chief
executive and while there ho regis
tered a protest against any extra ses
sion.
Cited to Appear.
The Pacific , American , Adams ,
United States and Wolls-Fargo Ex
press companies hnvo been cited to
appear before the Nebraska railway
commission on February 8 and show
cause why they shouldn't establish a
more reasonable rates on ponies and
colts , if they can. The five express
companies have a habit of calling po
nies or colts weighing above 750
pounds , created a horse on the ship
per , and taking the same classifica
tion as horses , ponies and colts , grow
very expensive during shipping : .
INTENSE FARM WORK.
Secretary Mellor Says This Is Ne
braska's Need.
At the recent mooting of the State
Board of Agriculture Secretary W. 11.
Mellor made his annual report , In
which he reviewed all the work dona
by the association , the state farm , the
farmers' clubs and all associated
bodies which have for their object the
Increase in the production of the Ne
braska farm. At thin time he aald ,
the land of Nebraska which IB avail
able Is practically nil under cultiva
tion , and for that reason It has become - ,
come n necessity for an increase in' '
the production per acre. A financial
report of the state fair shows a bal
ance of $20,000 on hand.
Mr. Mellor recommended that nt
every poor farm In the state thcro bo
established an experimental farm and
.lint the various schools each have
it leaat five acres upon which experi
ments should be made for the beno-
It of the students. Ho argued that
: he farmer who is too busy to attend
nstitutes or schools of agriculture
nay learn from the boys and girls who
get their now ideas each day from the
school farm. Along these lines Mr.
Mellor said :
"Wo confidently believe that the
yield of crop production will bo nearer
icrfcction If each county poor farm
jc made an experiment station , under
Iho control of an experienced scien
tific agriculturist , for whoso services
.ho county and state might share
equally in expense. These experts
could bo obtained from among the
young men taking the long course in
our School of Agriculture and would
furnish a means of providing funds for
worthy young men to secure addition
al agricultural knowledge.
"It Is a well known fact that people
ivlug twenty miles away from an ob-
icct lesson receive very little benefit ,
'rom the fact that in the busy season
; hey have very little time or oppor
tunity to learn what Is taking place
out of their limited range of vision.
Their ti'jio and attention must of ne
cessity bo devoted to home labors ,
therefore the nearer we can bring
iroper methods in sericulture to them
: he greater their i > oHt.
"In addition to the county farm ex-
leriinent station , the time will como
n Nebraska when each school dis
trict will have from one to five acres
of an experiment station , to bo scien
tifically worked by the scholars as a
part of their schooling , for which
proper credits will be given. This
will create the ideal method , as the
'ather and mother who have charge
of the work on the farm throughout
Lhe day will have dally instruction
from that gathered by the children
ilong timely , practical lines , ultimate
ly resulting in love of farm life , n
growth and retention of farmers for
the future , added fertility to the soil
and wealth to the state.
Farmers' Wives Organize.
Organization among the farmers'
wives of Nebraska received fresh im
petus at the annual meeting of the
Nebraska Home Economics associa
tion held at the university farm at
Lincoln. Four officers , who have
served the organization during the ,
last year were re-elected.
The session wa devoted largely to
discussion of the problems of the1
farmers' wives , Mrs. F. J. Burnett of
Omaha leading. The noon luncheon
of the school children in the country
afforded an interesting topic. That
the children bring the Ingredients and'
under direction of the teacher prepare
soup and other simple nourishing food ,
thus relieving the busy mother of
preparing a. basket luncheon and at
the same time affording the opening
wedge for the teaching of domestic
science In the rural schools , was a
plan that met with general approval.
Miss Anna L. Barbee , county superin
tendent of Christian county , Illinois ,
offered n course of twenty-five lessons1
in domestic science that has been
proven successful in Illinois. This
course Includes the simple but import
ant things from ventilation and sanita
tion to the preparation of simple foods
and also met the approval of the wo
men.
Big Broom Plant.
The Leed Broom and Duster com
pany , with factories at Boston , Daven-
pojt and Lancaster , has purchased the
Lincoln Sash and Door company and
will convert the plant into one of the
largest broom factories in the country.
This company has the contract at the
state penitentiary.

raided three places where liquor was
being sold and one house of ill repute
was closed out in the residence part
of the city. Every effort is being

liquor.
Express on Union Pacific.

Express company is to operate on
the Union Pacific has been fully con-
Tinned. The change will be made on
April 1. In this city the American
will after that time have the North
western and the Union Pacific , leav
ing the Pacific company with the
Missouri Pacific road exclusively.
Depot at University Place.
The order issued by the state rail
way commission to compel the Rock
Island railroad to construct a depot
at University Place has been upheld
by the supreme court.

ciation , has been guilty of receiving

A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK " 0 '
/"I
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.
The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since by
n railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable dlscovpry that
such was the case. There is not a
district of a fair amount of settle
ment in any of. the three Provinces of
Manitoba , Saskatchewan anil Alberta ,
but has its school , and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart , around which group the
towns , some largo and come small ,
but each Important to its own district.
Schools tire largely maintained by pub
lic funds and the expense of tuition is
but a nominal sum.
The final returns of the grain pro
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now in , and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers of
that country is about 195 million dollars
lars , as compared with 120 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States , will
participate largely in these splendid
returns , and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers of
Central Canada is seen in the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher , and arc taking to enjoying
themselves for two or tlireo months.
It is said that fifty thousand people of
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain , some to the Continent , others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada ,
and many thousands went to visit
their friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. It need
not be asked , "Can they afford it ? "
With crops yielding them a profit of
$20 to $25 per aero , and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres , the question is answered. Tne
Canadian Government Agents at dif
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
of those who are now visiting friends
In the different states , and they all ex
press themselves as well satisfied ,
and promise to take some of their
friends back with them. There is still
a lot of free homestead land lu splen
did districts , and other lauds can be
purchased at a reasonable price from
railway and land companies. '
