who ever achieved success. If I had been satisfied working in a factory in Monmouth , Illinois , I would be there now. The discontent with what you are doing now , and the ambition , grit and determination to accomplish more is what
brings success , and the time to start and build your foundation to success is RIGHT NOW.
HERBERT HURD , PRESIDENT , KANSAS CITY , MISSOURI
GRAY REALTY nf\ . & XTV
Make Maple Sugar Here.
Norfolk has a sugar camp In full
operation only a few blocks from the
business section of the city. Sap from
100 maple trees Is dripping Into 200
tin buckets and already the "boiling
down" of the sap has commenced.
James Gray of South Fifth street
and his son , Luke Gray , who own the
the sugar bush , tapped 100 trees on
their property and in Pasewalk's
grove. A brick stove was built and
already about fifty gallons of sap tak
en from the- soft maple trees Is boil
ing down to be turned to pure maple
syrup or maple sugar. James Gray ,
who Is an old experienced Canadian
sugar maker , and who claims the own
ership of the only real hard sugar
maple trees iii the county , says that ,
although he only produced thirty gallons
lens of syrup from his maple trees
last year , he will undoubtedly double
that amount this year , owing to the
additional trees tapped.
A visit paid to Pasowalk's grove and
Mr. Gray's property by a News rep
resentative found Mr. Gray and his
son busily engaged In boiling down
the first sap , which they had just tak
en from the trees this year. The
scene , with the little buckets hanging
on the trees and the boiler in full op
eration , reproduced the. old eastern
"sugar bush" in all its reality , not
even letting out the swarm of boys
who always inhabit the sugar bush.
About three feet from the ground ,
the tree is "tapped" by boring a hole
about a half-inch deep with an auger ,
on both sides. Little galvanized tin
troughs are inserted in the holes and
buckets of n gallon capacity are hung
on the troughs. The sap from the
roots and branches of the tree oozes
from the holes and runs down the
trough into the buckets , which are
emptied into the boiler twice a day ,
morning and evening.
According to Mr. Gray the tapping of
these maple trees does not harm them
in the least. "In fact , " said Mr. Gray ,
"it does the tree good. It helps take
the sap out of it each year. The larg
er the roots and branches , the more
sap we get. Out of an ordinary tree
we get from two to four gallons of
sap , and estimate to make from one
pint to two quarts of syrup to the
tree , according to the size of the tree ,
its branches and roots. The soft maple
plo here Is not as good as the hard
sugar maple , but nevertheless wo
make some very line syrup from these
trees , which is almost as good as sy
rup made In Canada from the regular
sugar maple. "
FIREMEN HOLD SOCIAL MEETING
Hose Company Joint Meeting Ends
With Feed In City Hall.
The city hall last evening was the
scene of merry making combined with
business. The entertainment was giv
en by the joint hose companies who
hold this social meeting every month.
Much regret was expressed by the
hose men present at the small attend
ance of all the hose companies and the
failure of the hook and ladder mciu-
bers In accepting their Invitation to
participate in the social meetings giv
en by the hose members.
The question as to what prize is to
be given the firemen who have the
best record for being iirst with hose
laid at a lire , which has been offered
by the lire and police committee of
the city council , was discussed. The
firemen also appointed a committee to
wait upon the fire and police commit
tee to ascertain when the contest for
the prize went Into effect , company
No. 3 claiming three points to the
good. They , however , are willing to
start all over and take their chances
with the rest , provided the committee
sets a more recent date than when
their scores were made.
After the business part of the meet
ing the firemen marched into the re
ception room where a spread fit for
the gods was awaiting them. Over
their coffee the llremen discussed the
question as to how fires should be put
out and prevented. Cards followed , a
pleasant evening being enjoyed.
CORNER IN PORK ?
South Omaha Men Think Market is
Being Handled.
Omaha , March 12. Fifteen dollar
hogs !
That's the prediction made by a
South Omaha man , who Is In close
touch with the market. Ho says It
will not surprise him if hogs go to
$15 per 100 pounds "before the bubble
bursts. "
"Of course It is a bubble right now , "
ho argues , "for even $10 is an unnatu
ral price for hogs and it is not war
ranted by natural conditions. So long
as the price was going up a nickel
or a dime at a time , It seemed like
an outcome of the scarcity , but when
It begins to jump by quarters , then
the only rational conclusion Is that
there's something back of It all more
potent than Just supply and demand.
"Who do I think it Is ? Well , It's
somebody not far away from the
Board of Trade buildings In Chicago.
The South Omaha boys have had this
in mind for several days , and arc
keeping as close to shore as possible.
It is the general belief hereabouts that
one of the big packing firms , whoso
name has been much in the papers
of late , Is getting beautifully squeezed
In a pork deal. The head of this
firm thought when hogs touched $7
it was too high , and said ho was willIng -
Ing to sell provisions on that basis.
When the $8 mark was reached , ho
was still of that opinion. Now It Is up
to $10 and is going up by wild jumps.
Ho Is said to have sold a lot of pro
visions on the $7 and $8 basis , and
just how ho is going to get out Is
now keeping him up at nights.
"Not n great deal of this $10 pork
Is going Into the collars. The supply
of hogs on the market is scarcely
moro that what is required for the
fresh meat trade , so that the actual
stock of provisions Is not bolng ex
tended by the costly pork. But a lot
of stuff packed months ago is coming
out now at tlio fancy figure. How
long it will keep up can't be told ; but
the short supply of hogs Is favorable
to the corner that is apparently in full
swing , and it's no wild guess to say
that somebody's going to get an aw
ful bump when the blow does fall.
It will be worse than the lard deal
one of the packers tried to pull off
some years ago. His firm still has
some of that lard for sale. "
Hogs sold In South Omaha yester-
aay for $10.45 , the highest price ever
paid at the local yards. On other mar
kets the upturn was still noticeable.
Another feature of the situation is
that animals that a year ago would
not be looked at by the packers are
being sold now at fairly good prices.
For example , sheep that wouldn't have
been touched last season , being worth
less than a dollar a hundred , are now
going at $4 and $4.50 , and cows that
were being turned over to dairymen
are being taken on by the packers at
prices around $5 and $5.50.
Norfolk Avenue Ordered Paved.
The city council last night passed
the ordinance ordering that Paving

This ends the paving work for thir

they desire the street paved. A ma
jority of the property owners in the

THURSTON REMINDS BRYAN.
Recalls Commoner In 1894 Demanded
High Prices as Panacea.
Omaha , March 12. Former United
States Senator John M. Thurston was
in Omaha as the guest of Richard S
Hall. He Is enroute west on a bus !
ness trip which will take him as fai
as Phoenix , Ariz.
"I should like very much to have
moro time to spend in Omaha , " salt !
Senator Thurston. "Coming back 1
may be able to do so , but of that 1
cannot be certain. I shall bo In Ne
braska next fall , however , to take t
part In the campaign. "
On the matter of insurgency in the
west , the senator said he knew toe
little to be able to speak at length
of it.
"This I do know , however : Presl
dent Taft , before ho finishes his term
is due to make the country realize
that he is really a great man. H
works slowly , but with a sure pur
pose. He has a steady hand and si
wise head and ho will develop his pol
Icies and carry them into effect wltli
a tenacity and determination that can
not bo denied.
"Many of the people of Omaha and
Nebraska will remember that in 1894
when I. among others , was argulnp
with Mr. Bryan , ho complained bit
terly that prices wore too low , that
wo must have high prices to benefit
the farmer , and through him the whole
country. Well , we luivo the higli
prices now with a vengeance , and
the farmer is getting his full share ,
not only through the $10 hog , but by
all other avenues that run to the
farm through what its owner has to
sell. Surely the farmer will not back
track on what he has been contend
ing for a generation or more.
"In those other days of the great
fights in Nebraska the laborer and me
chanic had little or no work and
wages were not what they are today.
At that time high wages was not
the question , but men wanted any
kind of work and any kind of wages.
It may be admitted that living costs
more today , as it does , but that does
not change the fact . .hat the working
of the McKlnley , the Dlngley and the
Payne tariff measures has brought the
prosperity to business and industry
that Mr. Bryan was pleading for so
mournfully in his early campaigns.
"Prosperity always has a tendency
to make people forget their days of
tough sledding , but it will be an amaz
ing thing If the fanners and the work
ers can be made to take any stop
backward toward the days of idleness ,
soup houses and low prices. "
BABE'S STEPS TO RIVER.
Bloodhounds Follow Trail Twice and
Leave no Doubt of Fate of Boy.
Worthing , S. D. , March 12. Traced
to the edge of a swollen stream , a
half mile from the homo of his par
ents , there no longer remains any
doubt that the little 2-year-old boy of
Mr. nnd Mrs. J. W. Dickens lost his
life by drowning.
Thursday afternoon the bloodhounds
brought here by Elmer Noffsinger
from Beatrice , Neb. , were taken to the
Dickens' home , and starting from the
doorway where the little tot was last
seen by the mother , they traveled n
distance of more than a mile to a
point In the field on the bank of the
creek. Not being satisfied with the
one trial , the spectators asked the
owner of the hounds to make a sec
ond. They were started In at the
house and followed accurately the first
course nnd stopped on the bank of the
swollen stream , leaving no further
doubt of the fate which overtook the
little boy. The stream is being drag
ged , but exploration for nearly a mile
below the place where the victim fell
in falls to reveal the body. The
search Is still kept up with a large
number of friends and neighbors , whc
have spent nearly all of the past
three days In the search.
