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.

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. The deposi

and the entire day will be consumed with
the matter. The hearing will be held In

Work on Irrigation Canal.
The State Board of Irrigation has received
notice from H. G. 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.

S BREAK CAMP
General Culver and tn ft Will Stay a
Dny Lonprer.
KEARNEY, Neb., Aug. 16. (Special Tele
gram.) 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.

Hational 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

solely to the officers, but gave much of
their attention to the men. 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.
