'MAY ' DEBATE ON SEWERAGE Suggestion Thnt This Topic Lead Mu slcal Entertainment. lOdilor Dally News : As treasurer of Iho > oiing people's lecture course 1 am In n position to know that this year's course , from present Indications , will show a shortage of about eighty del tars after paying expenses. As the vouiig people arranged this course without desiring any financial profit it Is only Just that ( hey bo accorded a full houuo for the last number. The Midland Opera Quintette , which comes to the M. 10 church January ISO. To this end I would suggest that the hour preceding the concert he given over to a debate between those desir ing the sewerage system and those opposed to It. At the close of the debate a vote of the audience , composed of men anr women , would be a fair Indication of the people's wishes and would show the city council whether or not the system Is desired hy the majority. Standing room at this debate wouh : ho at a premium and this year's course would close without a shortage. 1 further suggest that the mayor 01 the Commercial club appoint leaders for the ainrmntivc and negative as soon as possible.

That forests will extend , of them selves , oven under disadvantageous conditions , over the molster soils of western Kansas nnd western Nebras ka , and that this natural extension may be fostered with profit , are the Interesting facts brought out In Bul letin No. ( Ji5 of the U. S. forest service , of which Royal S. Kellogg is the au thor. ' The climate of nearly all this region is essentially seuilnrld , being charac- teri/.c'd by light and unevenly distrib uted precipitation , high winds , exces sive evaporation , and great Iliictna- lions of temperature conditions clear ly unfavorable to the thrifty growth of many forest trees. Fortunately , however , most of the scanty rainfall , which would otherwise1 often prove Insufficient - sufficient , comes during the growing season. As regards troon , the result of adverse climatic factors is that the common hardwoods arc confined close ly to Iho water courses or lo compara tively wet situations. lOvon the per manent subterranean water is not suf- llclent for all species ; the excessive evaporation also limits plant distribu tion. Trees have been killed in sea sons of severe drought. The bulletin deals In detail with the two forest types of the region the valley typo and the pine typo and with the process of reproduction , hy which they maintain themselves. This study Is followed hy an explanation of the working of the natural forces by which the forest continues to extend Itself. The stops hy which forestatlon be- ulns are often apparently Insignificant and unobserved. On the streams , the sandbar willow and the false indigo play an important part , their roots holding the hanks and bars from shiftIng - Ing until tree species can get a foot hold. After the sand is fixed and ether - or species have started , the willow dies , but Its mission has been fulfilled. Its seed is carried by the water as well as by the wind , so that the same Hood which makes the sandbar often seeds It with the tree which will redeem - doom it. In heavier soils other shrubs , such ns the smooth sumac , the wolf- berry , nnd the wild plum , which grow- in clumps and are able to win In the fight against grass , are forerunners of the forest. The one thing which , above all others - i ers , makes for Improved conditions on the plains , nnd gives assured hope for better tree growth in the future than in the past , is the cessation of fires. Before the country was settled fires were both frequent and extensive. Only the trees along streams could survive , and. at best , make n stunted , scrubby growth. Reproduction was extremely uncertain , owing to the loss of seedlings , and grass gained the as- cendency over nil other forms of veg etation. Hut with the nearly complete stoppage of tires since the country has been permanently settled , conditions nro greatly improved. Several tree species have succeeded , despite other nest ndvcrao circumstances , In fore- ng their way Into thu very heart of ho plains by following up the water "nurses tributary to the MlBHourl rlvor. 't IB therefore quite curtain that with irotectlon they will in the future steadily gain new territory. AH a result of the study It becomes clear that the forests of this region ire much moro restricted In area and liooror In character than they nooil bo. That it tukos n long time to grow trees tit for any practical purpose Is true , yet a region without trees is seriously liandlcnpped , and few farmers can do hotter for their property than to estab lish groves upon It. The government is so well convinced of the practica bility of growing trees from seeds in this region that it has created two forest reserves , containing 208,000 acres , In the sand hills of Nebraska for this purpose. The tables contained In the bulletin make It possible to learn how land now given over to stock can bo made , In a comparatively few years , to pro duce a stand of trees whose value will exceed the accumulated rents as pas ture. ture.Tho The bulletin closes with an account of the tree species found In western Kansas and Nebraska. EFFORT IS BEING MADE IN BEHALF - HALF OF NORFOLK. TO CHANGE BURKETT'S BILL Letters Have Been Written to Wash ington , Seeking to Induce Senator Burkett to Amend His Bill nnd Give Norfolk Two Terms. An effort Is being made by the Com mercial club of Norfolk to induce Sen ator Iturkott to change the hill which ho Introduced into the senate a few days ago , providing for two sections of federal court in Nebraska , and giv ing Norfolk only one term cnch year. An effort Is lioing made to Induce Sen ator Hurkott to provide in his bill for two meetings each year at Norfolk. Letters have been written to the senator hy business men of the city , and it is hoped hy them that their ef forts will he rewarded by the desired change , which would moan coiiKider- able to Norfolk and all of the rest of this part of the state. Money would be brought here In stead of taken to Omaha , and as Nor folk Is so much moro oaslly reached than Omaha , from this territory , it would benefit all citizens of this part of the commonwealth. MORTENSEN TO RUN. It Is Announced by Friends of Treas urer , He Will Make Run. Taking advantage of his absence from the city , intimate friends of State Treasurer Peter Mortcnscn announced that he would be a candidate for gov ernor and that when the proper time comes Mr. Mortenscn will himself make the official announcement , says a Dee report. The Information was brought from Grand Island hy a state olHcer who had boon with Mr. Morton- sen inspecting the Grand Island Sol diers' home. Mr. Mortenson Is still 1 absent from the city. I Wlillo the name of the popular state | treasurer has been frequently men- ! Honed in connection with gubernatori al honors , Mr. Morlcnsen has refused to commit himself and ho has given out the Impression that as long as John Wall and Senator Fries were in 1 the race he would under no circum stances bo a candidate. In view of recent developments , however , it Is bolloved the information brought to Lincoln today is reliable. Senator Fries has said he would gladly with- I draw from the race provided Mr. Mor- | tcnscn would consent to bo a candl- I date and it has been reported that Mr. 1 Wall also would got out of the way of the treasurer. Mortensen. however , while not denying that he would like to be governor , will do nothing that would affect the candidacy of Wall and Fries , who live in the same coun ty with him and who stood by him in his candidacy for state treasurer. Senator Cady of Howard county was hero last week and urged Mr. Morten- sen to make the race and others have argued with the state treasurer that ho could have the nomination for the asking. Inasmuch as the pressure has been so strong the report that Morten- sen had finally capitulated to the wish es of his friends and consented to got in the running Is bolloved around the ! state house. j j j ' PROPERTY SELLS WELL.
