O. Leavltt Serves Notice oi State Board He I Ready to Commence w'ork osi His Irrigation Project (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Aug. 16. (Special.) Attorney General Norris Browif has received word from Omaha that the records and data relative to the assessment of the Wood man of the World by the county assessor and county board of equalisation of Doug las county would be here within a few days. Immediately upon receipt of thesn lecords the attorney general will bring n,ndamus proceedings to compel the as siF,snirnt of the reserve fund of the order. I'lsrusstng the contemplated removal of thn order from Nebraska, should its re serve fund be assessed Deputy Attorney Urneral .Thompson said: ' I do not know' of a single state which would allow this fund to escape taxation. In 'saying that no states tax such funds the officers of the order are certainly laboring under a misapprehension. At this time I do not know of a state which would allow the. company to escape taxation on this fund and therefore I cannot see where the company would gain anything by leav ing Nebraska. It would be a loss to Omaha and to the state to have the Woodmen headquarters leave Omaha but under the law It Is clearly the duty of the county assessor to ' assess this reserve fund. I understand that It la claimed that some of the home companies, run as old Una companies, have escaped this tax. If that Is true then the taxing officials have not done their duty. It Is well, though, that the matter Is to get into the courts so we can get an Interpretation of the law. v More Depositions la Grain Case. Depositions In the grain case will be taken tn Lincoln Friday by Attorney Gen ual Drown at which time five or six witnesses will be examined, among whom are C. Y. Long of this city.

Leavltt, the Ames sugar manufacturer, that he is about to begin construction work on the Columbia canal project, which has been allowed enough water to Irrigate 28.000 acres. This project begins at the Wyoming state line and ex tends along the north bank of the Platte river to the central part of Cheyenne county. It Is claimed that there Is an area of 16,000 acres of land which can be watered from the canal. The significance of Leavitt's notice la not thoroughly un derstood at the office of the secretary of the state board. It Is pointed out that the work may have some bearing on the controversy between Leavltt and the gov ernment over the Interstate project which will water land In the same territory. The government Is already proceeding with the construction of the Interstate canal. Little has been heard of the Columbia project recently. Originally It was fathered by William Frank, whose rights were sub sequently assigned to Leavltt. The terri tory to be served by the canal Is the most fertile and susceptible to Irrigation of all the lands to be watered from the Path finder project. It Is supposed that Leavltt plans to use a considerable area of It for sugar beets. Llneataa Falls front Fole.

The brigade broke camp early this morning', but owing to the delay of the teams the special trains did not get out until In the afternoon. Instead of 7 a. m., which will break all connections except where they have special train service. From a military standpoint the camp has been a great puccbs. Geueral Culver and each of the staff and officers of the regiments have worked hard to make It such. Considering the number In camp their deportment was excellent, there being only few scalawags, and these will be weeded out of the Guard as fast as the officers can get to them. Carousing on the streets or In camp and attempted familiarity with women Is not good breeding and has no semblance of either a good soldier or a frer.tleman. General Culver and staff will vacate camp Thursday with the feeling that It was one of If not the best vet held by the Ne braska National Guard.

CAMP ADMi: ISTRATI S THE MAIN THEME Sanitary and Culinary Conditions the Object ol Care and Lesaons Alone This Line Taasnt Officers and Men. The camp of Instruction of the Nebraska National Guard, which has just terminated at Kearney, was In many regards one of the best ever held, and In no wise did It fall short of any. The success of the camp is particularly gratifying to the officers in command, for the reason that almost one- third of the men were In camp for the first time. This bringing together of untrained ' men under unaccustomed conditions and maintaining them without serious sickness or Inconvenience, and at the same time se curing a high degree of efficiency In the performance of military duties Incident to the camp Is looked upon as quite a feat. General Culver and his aides determined on the organization of the camp to give especial attention to the more practical side of camp lite, and to push the purely theoretical to the background. It has been an unfortunate experience of the American volunteer soldier on being called Into active service that much unnecessary sick ness and discomfort has resulted from the lack of practical knowledge of camp ad ministration. The men are Ignorant of the methods essential to the best results and the officers have but vague and Insufficient notions of what Is required of them, and the result usually Is the loss of many men through sickness and a general deteriora tion of efficiency In the force before offi cers and men are sufficiently trained to know how to properly take care of them selves In camp. Under the new regulations the regimental commander is held for the general condition of the camp, the battalion commanders for the battalion quarters and the company commanders for the company quarters. In this way responsi bility for the sanitary conditions prevailing In camp Is easily fixed. The company com mander must take care not only of the sanitary condition of his company quarters, j but he is also responsible for the cuisine. This requires that he see to It that the proper amount of food Is secured and prop erly prepared for the table, and that all surplus rations are cared for and ac counted for. He must see to It that no Improper food la brought Into camp, and that the company quarters are kept clean at all times. Good Health at Camp Cobb. It was to this practical camp administra tion that attention was chiefly given at Camp Amasa Cobb. Strictest care was given to the points that would most affect the soldier's health, and under the rigid Inspection of Colonel Bills and Colonel Evans, Inspector general and surgeon gen eral of the Nebraska National Guard, a highly satisfactory state of affairs was de veloped. So excellent were the conditions that Major Blrkner, who was In charge of the field hospital, said on Monday that If the conditions that prevailed then. ad been In effect at the beginning of the camp he would have had not one-fifth of the cases he was called on to care for. As It was, the cases due to unsanitary conditions or food were very few. Articles of food that would tend to cause sickness j were excluded from the camp. The men were thus given a practical illustration ! of the necessity of taking good care of ; themselves under the unfamiliar conditions of camp life, and the company officers were also taught the proper methods to go about securing what Is furnished for the soldier's consumption In camp lastraetloas for Officers. Major Cecil, Captain Palmer, Captain Welch and Lieutenant Hensel of the United States army were In camp, and devoted their time to the Instruction of the officers In the minutae of their duties, giving them practical lessons In everything that per tains to the work of an officer of any grade. This Instruction Is of especial value and the lessons thus Imparted are not likely to be soon forgotten. The officers of the regular establishment worked without ceasing ad did &ot coufiae themselves Battle Creek Farnam St. Phone 2981.

This Instruction was along the lines of a soldier's duty, the result being a decided Improvement In the manner and bearing of the men. In fact. Major Cecil, after the review by the gov ernor on Monday, expressed himself as highly gratified by the Improvement he noted In the appearance of the troops. Drills and Manenvers. The theoretical and tactical side of the work wajs not forgotten and much time was spent in drills, this being left to the discretion of the regimental commanders. Plenty of work along the line of extended order drills, outpost duty and the like was given the men, and much good In the way of practical Instruction was accomplished. On the day of the sham battle the maneu vers were among the hills north and west of the camp, and the work was as nearly as possible under the conditions of actual warfare. Away to the south of the camp the rifle range, under command of Colonel McLaughlin, was In constant service, the Sea Girt team practicing steadily and doing come excellent work. One world's record was broken during the week and several other fine performances were noted. On Monday an average of 80 per cent was made. The world's record made was at skirmish firing, and consisted of a total of twenty-four out of a possible twenty five at 600 yards. The five shots were fired In thirty seconds and the soldier making the run scored four bullseyes and his fifth shot was within a, quarter of an Inch of the bullseye. This Is a wonderful performance and Is not likely to be repeated soon again. Work of Slaraal Corps. ine equipment of tne camp was a source of great pride tr General Culver and his staff. Under Captain -Henry's direction the signal corps established a system of tele phonic communication that not only brought the several sections of the camp within easy communication of each other, but permitte of connection with the Ne braska Telephone company's system, so that It was possible by telephone to reach any part of the state. This was found to be a decided advantage, both by the com manding officer of the brigade and by his executive officers, especially Quartermaster General Jenkins, who found It convenient In ordering supplies for the camp. He bought the soft bread used In Grand Island, and dally telephoned his order to the baker, having the bread sent out by express. Electric lights were furnished to Illuminate headquarters and thus a new feature was enjoyed. Field Hospital Equipment.

The dispensary tent was furnished with a complete sup ply of drugs and all apparatus needed for the compounding and dispensing of medi cines; the hospital tent had beds provided with modern conveniences, with screens to keep out insects, and was equipped with a perfect system for filtering water and providing the patients with properly pre pared food. It was In the surgical tent that the real delight for the doctors was to be seen. This was fitted out with ono of the very latest of to .regulation out fits, which comprises a complete steriliz ing plant, an acetyllne gas plant for light ing the operating room and a complete set of Instruments for performing any opera tion known to surgery. Including dental operations. All of this apparatus Is so arranged as to be packed Into the smallest possible compass and transported with the least Inconvenience, In fact, the surgical apparatus, the dispensary apparatus and the water filters would occupy less than half the space In an ordinary wagon and can easily be hauled In a field ambulance. The chest In which the surgical instruments are packed Is designed so that It can be carried In the field from the flold hospital to the first dressing station If needed. Best In the World. Major Blrkner,' who was In charge of the hospital, has seen service In a number of countries and was in Cuba with the United States army during the Spanish-American war, says the equipment furnished by the United States for field hospital equipment Is the best In the worl4 and Is far ahead of that furnished by any European gov ernment. And the Nebraska National Guard has a full regulation hospital equip ment. The great object of the commander and Instructors at Camp Amasa Cobb, how ever, was to teach the state's soldiers how to keep out of the hospital, and Gen eral Culver believes that to a large extent this was successful. Patients for Norfolk Asylara. NORFOLK, Neb., Aug. 11 (Special.)
