STATE'S ATTRACTIONS AND ADVANTAGES
Great Procreaa of a Pew Years the,

Are Onlr .UelaDinir tn
Be I'aed.
Up to this time there has been enough
fresh fertile Unda to supply the place of all
glands which 'have been rendered unfertile
M by bad usage and by erosion from torren
tlal rainfalls In the eastern, middle and
Vsouthern states. But we have now nearly
reached the limit of arame lands for sale
or for giving away by the government of
the United States. The population of the
republic has doubled about every twenty,
five years. If this Increase continues at the
same rate it Is safe to say that In fifty
years from this time the United States
will have a nonulatlon of 900.000 000 neoDla,
' Meantime the acres of arable la ft da will,
than Increased that Is to say, the supply
of farm lands will be much less than we
now possess. Holding- that the relation of
supply to demand Is the sole regulator of

lands In the United States, well located,
will be worth, fifty years from this lime,
an average of from 200 to tXtO per acre
The farmers who have the moat Individu
ality In the way of industry, frugality and
judgment nearly all believe In a future
of high prices for agricultural lands.
Where Will the People Got
The papulation of Iowa (1900) is 2.S1.8S3;
the population of Minnesota (1900) is 1.7U,
S1. The present immigration approximates
600,000 yearly; the annual natural Increase
raises the grand total to 2,000,000 a year, or
' a yearly Increase sufficient to settle a state
like Iowa. Where are the ten states like
Iowa for the next ten years to be found
or the twenty-five for the next twenty-five
years? It is bound to be westward, and
Nebraska will be the great center.
The United States government's report
for 1906 showed Nebraska to have held
place among the great agricultural leaders,
second only to Minnesota in average of
spring wheat, second in sverage sere pro
duction of corn and fourth In average acre
production" of onts.
In summary It might be stated that the
agricultural products during the last three
years have Included 9 000,000 tons of hay
' and foraa-e. 18.000 000 . bushels of potatoes
and 1.034.1JT 637 bushels of grain. The prob.
able value of all products for the period Is
toOo.OOO.Ow).
Nebraska's Maay Crepe.
Wbeat has become not only a common
and sure but a particularly profitable crop
since the discovery that the hard red win
ter rarieties are particularly adapted to Ne
braska's sod and climate. Ten years ago
It was a spring wheat state. The yield for
the last three years was 13,OGO.0u0 bushels,
or which more man luur-nnns was winter
wbeat. Nebraska's shipments during the
last three years were 10.080.000 bushels.
Normally Nebraska Is the third greatest
corn producer tn the union, notwithstanding
Its jouih snd the vast area It gives over
to erasing, which is not possible in Illinois
or Iowa, the corn leaders. In 190t-'ut Ne
braska raised 72.00O,0l bushels, giving It
marketable surplus of more than 100,-
too.0) bushels
The lleld of oats for 190 was 0,090.000
bushels, for 1901 It was O.V00.009 bushels and
for 1904 reached To.Ooo.000 bushels-,
Barley eaa he raised la almost every
portion of 'the state, some of the western
counties being especially adapted 'to its '
production. The yield for 1901 was a little
more than 1000,000 bushels, while that for
1904 was almost three times as much.
Rye makes large yields per acre when
raised for grain. Its acreage is increasing
and the yield for the last three years was
about 8,000,000 bushels.
Alfalfa has proved one of the most valu
able crops raised on the American conti
nent and Nebraska has proved there Is not
another alfalfa state as good. The acreage
In 1905 was 236,321. From three to four
cuttings are made every year, yielding an
aggregate of four or Ave tons per acre,
to sell at a price . varying from 14 to 19
per ton. The more alfalfa Is understood
the more extensively it is adopted, and
there can be absolutely no doubt about Us
putting hundreds of thousands of dollars
Into the pockets of Nebraska's fat cattle
raisers, swine raisers and dairy and poultry
men in the Immediate future.
Hebraeka a Dairy State.
As a meat maker alfalfa leads, while as
a muscle maker the native prairie grass
of Nebraska has to be given the crown.
It averages about one and one-half to one
and three-fourths tons to the acre. The
state acreage approximates 1,700,000. It
has caused Nebraska's output of butter
to Increase about 60 per cent since 1900, and
Omaha has become the largest market in
the world for dairy products. The state
has about 800,000 more milch cows than In
1900. Nebraska has moved up from thir
teenth to tenth, and possibly ninth, place
among the dairying states of the union.
and the value of its annual dairv output
has increased nearly (3,000,000. In J897 there
were about 600 hand separators in use in
the state. Now there are very nearly
20.000. Analysis of the statistics disclose
that the average yearly dairy production
per cow In America approximates tlfi. it,
but In Nebraska thla figure is doubled and
tripled, with the further advantage of a
minimising of the cost of maintaining the
cow or herd.
Nebraska's Poaltry.
Nebraska's poultry won a first prize, three
second prises, seven third prises, four
fourth prises, three fifth prises and nine
sixth and seventh prises at the World's
fair, St. Louis. It has attained no great
prominence ss a fancy poultry state, yet
only the better breeds are used, and their
productiveness is great. The South Omaha
psckers have engaged extensively In the
fowl and egg business, so that Nebraska
now has a convenient, permanent market.
The Industry haa taken on a new and
greater Importance since the various pack
ing companies began buying fowls and eggs
at nearly every Nebraska railroad station,
on the eame extensive scale that they buy
cattle and hogs. Eventually the packing
companies trausport the packed product to
remote markets even to Europe thus in
suring a considerable demand for all that
Nebraskana can produce
Live Stock latereats of Slate.
In the last three years tbs stste has
marketed Il.t74.es4 animals, with a value
of SlMi.uOO.OuO. When the farms of the
state combine crop growing with stock
raising, they insure the maintenance of
soli fertility. Many states have depleted
their soil by neglecting this Important
principle. Nebraska farmers have ob
served It, and are reaping rich reward.
There are also many thousands of acres
of cheap grazing land which are rich in
grasses, and the mildness of the winters
in the western portion makes It possible
to keep stock with a very small amount
of feed. Railroad facilities are such that
when the finishing period comes the ani
mals can be transported quickly to the
central and eastern portions of the state
o be fattened on the abundant corn, hay
nd forage crops which these sections pro
duce. The (reat stock market at South

In 1860 Nebraska contained 87,000 cattle
of all grades, Including 12,600 work oxen.
In 1S70 this number bad grown to 80,000, or
more than double. In 1880 after the Im
portation of many high-grade cows from
the east had had an effect. It contained
740,600 or nine times as many as in 1870.
In 1890 the total reached 1,726,439, having
doubled two and one-half times In ten
years. In 1900 the total was 1,176,242, valued
at 2S2.500.000. In 1902, 8,600,000; In 1903, 8,800.
000; In 1904, 4.286,338.
Nebraska takes rank below three of the
forty-five states In the union In the num
ber and value of ber swine. In 1900 there
were in the state 4,128,000 hogs; in 1902,
4,900.000; In 1903, 4.400,000; in 1904, 4,728,000;
In 1906, over 6,000.000.
The exact number of sheep tn the state
is bard to determine. The 1900 census offi
cers found 611,271. The number estimated
to belong in Nebraska In 1901 was 649,810;
and In 1902. 600,000, but when it is re
called that the shipments for 1902-8
amounted to almost 1,600,000, the numbers
given above seem too small.
In production of horses Nebraska claims
seventh place and is raising many very su
perior animals for draft and coach pur
poses, but is not concerning Itself gener
ally with breeding for speed, believing that
the largest returns upon the smaller in
vestment of time and money are realized
by the breeder of utility animals. In 1860
Nebraska had less than 6,000 horses; in
1870, 80,000; In 1880, 920.000; in 1903 .almost
exactly 1.000,000; and in 1904. 1,086.800. The
shipments In 1901 amounted to 46,390; In
1903, 48.649.
Vegetables to- Market.
Irish potatoes are - very sure crop in
Nebraska and the state's total production
for 1906 was considerably above t.OOO.OCO
bushels and the state average per acre, 125
bushels. The Quality is excellent and the
price commanded very fair. Thousands of
acres in the western part can Ije
made to produce potatoes and every acre
will give a net Income of from $30 to to0
yearly. The Income from some is S&0.
Sugar beets are suited to Nebraska and
give return of ISO and even ICS and 870 per
acre. Irrigation has given great impetus
to their raising In western Nebraska. The
Grand Island factory alone contracts for
about 8260,000 worth of beets for a single
season's campaign. The price for beets
varies from $1.60 to $6 per ton, with an
average of about $5. The yield averages
eleven and twelve or more tons per acre,
with some sections yielding twenty tons.
OtheV vegetables, including melons, sweet
potatoes, onions, cabbage, peas and, tn
fact, practically all the root crops anl
garden delicacies, yield abundantly, and
are of fine Quality. Onions will run 1,000
bushels to the acre. Sweet potatoes are
particularly succeaeful in the Loup and
Platte valleys, yielding 2uQ bushels per
acre. Celery growing Is one of the newly
developed industries of great promise. The
peculiar sandy soil of the Platte bottoms,
and the Islands of the Platte river are
well suited to the growth of a delicately
flavored, high-grade product. The amount
produced on an acre is from one to one and
one-half carload. Celery is always quoted
by the dozen stalks, and the price In car
lota 10 to 80 cents a dozen. A car generally
oontalna about 1.600 to 8.000 dozena, and "s
worth $2u0 to $300.

' Nebraska is fortunate in having a soil
unexcelled by that of any state In the
union in the qualities necessary for the
production of good crops under varying
conditions. Owing to the wonderful ab
sorptive quality of the soil It Is peculiarly
adapted to the productions of good crops

depth, and Is there 'held In reserve until
needed, when It unfailingly comes up from
below to supply the needs of vegetation,
f hese facts were fully demonstrated dur
ing the unusually 'dry season of 1301, and
the extraordinarily wet season of 19u2 and
1903. Nebraska can raise enormous crops
on a precipitation pa limited . as to pro
duce drouth and complete crpp failures in
the eastern states. Furthermore, the na
ture of the soil is such that farm work is
taken up Immediately after . rain ia Ne
braska, whereas in states farther east
there must be a long wait for the drying,
Nebraska's drinking water is exception
ally pure snd wholesome and the supply '
Is Inexhaustible. ... ,
Health of State.
Climate and health statistics show Ne
braska a leader. 8ome authorities declare
Nebraska more healthful than any other
state in the union. Others place It second
to only Idaho, and all give It rank among
the first four. The regular government re
ports place Nebraska first among staUs
free from lung diseases, showing its rate
of deaths from . consumption and pneu
monia to be 1.32 per 1,000, whereas the next
lowest rate is Idaho's, 1.62 per 1,000. In
New York state the death rate is 18. and
from these two lung troubles alone 128. On
the north, Minnesota's death rate is 9.71, on
the south, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and
South Carolina each has a death rate of 13.
Nebraska's own neighbors have a much
higher rate than it. This contrast is not
accidental, but is the result of Nebraska's
greater purity of water, the clear air of its
greater altitude. Its abundance of sunshine
and this is said seriously its peculiarly
healthful soil.
Nebraska's Preseat Poattlon.
On the authority of the state bureau of
statistics, it ia announced that Nebraska
has established Itself as third In the pro
duction of corn, fourth In the production
of wheat, fourth In production of oats,
fourth in production of cattle, fourth in
production of hogs, seventh In production of
horses, tenth among dairy states and third
among the meat packing states. The man
ufacture of beet sugar haa given its growth
a further impetus and it is fifth In the pro
duction of that commodity and has the only
sugar beet syrup and refining plant In the
haa less illiteracy than any other
state in the union and the mortality sta
tistics show it to be as healthful as any
other state, not excluding those which are
mountainous.
There are In Nebraska 33,000,000 acres of
deeded land outside of the cities and towns.
This land is worth on an average of Ji
to $30 per acre, hence the value of farm
lands Is In the neighborhood of $OuG,0O0.0uo.
Live stock is worth $150,000,000 snd agricul
tural implements are valued at $22,000,000.
It is Impossible to get a close approxima
tion to the value of other personal prop
erty belonging to Nebraska farmers, but
It Is safe to place it at $30.0u0,000. Thus
the total value of farm property In Ne
braska assumes the Immense proportions
of $1,212,000,000. This Is about ten times
greater than it was. In 1880, more than
twice what It was In 1S90 and nearly twice
what it was in lno. That farm property
has almost doubled In value during the
past five years Is the most emphatic proof
of Nebraska's agricultural excellence that
could possibly be provided.

PETTY THIEVING AT HOTELS
Heary Losses Sustained bj Practice of Some
Guests in Taking Souvenirs.

sled Away by WeU
Meanlat: Patrons.
"The professional hotel thief is not the
only person who manages to make the life
of a hotel clerk and proprietor miserable in
the matter of taking things from guest
chambers and even other parts of the es
tablishment," remarked an old-time Omaha
hotel clerk, who is still In the business.
"There Is no use In saying we do not know
who commit these petty thefts, for It is
easy enough to locate them by the room
from which the articles are missed. Yet
these people are our patrons; are good pay,
and the trifling loss that may come through
one Individual is not sufficient to make a
fuss about and at the same time lose his
patronage and make a mortal enemy of him
ever thereafter.
"The chief loss to the hotels by petty pil
fering comes through the tourjsts who stop
at the hotel but for a day and are then
gone forever, but generally manage to carry
with them a souvenir from the hotel as an
evidence that they had once been there.
This Class of pilferers will take anything
from a napkin to a sofa cushion, or any
thing else that they can pack In a trunk.
Theatrical People the Worst.
"Theatrical troupes are the worst people
we have to contend with in the disappear
ance of towels and soap. Towels, of which
there are a great many varieties used in
snd about .hotels, are so easily packed
away in a grip, pocket or trunk that these
people make no scruple in appropriating
(hem without stint. The same is true of
toilet soaps. They need these articles con
stantly In their business and I will venture
the opinion that over half of the towel and
soap supplies of an ordinary traveling the
atrical troupe are thus obtained from the
hotels at which they stop. They do not
take these things with a view to actual
theft, but a towel or piece of soap here and
there Is of so Insignificant value they do
not think the hotel will be out anything by
It, and so they appropriate these articles
whenever the mood seizes them. We ex
pect It and of course make no kick.
Tonrlata Alao Are Bad Ones.
"Tourists do more valuable pilfering from
hotels than any other class of people. They
do not hestltate to take anything that
itrlkea their fancy. I have known Instances
where they have taken pictures from the
walls of their rooms, frames and all. We
have also frequently lost valuable bed
spreads and, ss a rule, they take only the
most valuable towels, even though they
are marked with the hotel name woven Into
the material. Nor do they confine their pec
ulations to their rooms. In one instance I
have known them to take sofa cushions en
tire, and it is not an unusual thing to lose
valuable sofa cushion covers.
"The most exasperating thefts from
which hotels suffer are the taking of sil
verware from the cafes and dining tables,
Knives, forks, tabla and teaspoons are fre
quently taken, but the chief loss is in the
small coffee, tea, orange on bon-bon spoons,
which are so easy to bide away In a sleeve
or pocket. As these people never expect to
return to the hotel sgaln we never can re
cover the stolen silverware.
Stationery Gees Too.

with the special view that It Is for the
use of the guests while they remain at
the hotel. Yet during the year we have
great quantities stolen, not alone by guests,
but by others, up to within a year or two
it was the custom to place abundant sta
tionery on the writing tables in the reading
snd writing rooms for the guests to uso
at leisure. But it soon became manifest
that others than our patrons were availing
themselves of the free writing materials,
and it was next to impossible to keep a
supply on hand at the writing tables for
the accommodation of our patrons, so that
plan has been abandoned. Now when a
guest wishes writing material he asks for
It at the office and Is courteously supplied
with all he needs.
Chagrin of a Cneat.
"A number of years ago I was clerk at
the Murray hotel and on one occasion a
traveling man came to the office and asked
for some stationery. I handed him several
sheets of paper and envelopes and he seemed
Incensed because I did not give him more.
I then handed him out a considerable
bunch of paper and envelopes and inci
dentally remarked: 'Take some along
with you, so that you can write on the
train.' He flaw into a passion tnstanter
and said: 'I want you to understand
that I do not write on hotel stationery on
a train, nor do I 'carry it about with me,
nor do I propose to be Insulted, sir. You
may send for my baggage, sir, and I'll
leave your hotel, air, and go to one where
they know how to treat a man as a gen
tleman.' "Well, he was mad clean through and
would not take any sort of an apology, so
he paid his bill and the bell boy was sent
for his baggage. The lobby was in the
meanwhile crowded with other traveling
men, all of whom were Interested In the
little episode, and the irate patron was
still fuming about being insulted. I felt
cheap. Just then the elevator came down
and the bell boy carrying my friend's two
grips stumbled as he stepped out of the
elevator and the grips flew across the floor.
One of them burst open and out of It rolled
enough stationery to stork a fair sized
hotel for a week. There were letterheads
from nearly every hotel In Minneapolis,
Bt. Paul, 6L Louis, Chicago, Dea Moines,
Kansas City, Bloux City and about every
place else. Well, Providence wss on my side
for sure, but I really did pity that poor
fellow from the way the other traveling
men guyed him. He gathered his station
ery up with the assistance of the bell boy
and crowded It back into his grip, and Just
as he was about finished one of the other
drummers handed him a few sheets of the
Murray letterheads, and advised him to
take a few as souvenirs. He left the hotel
without even saying goodbye."
Woman la the Case.
Another old hotel clerk who had grown
gray In the service and Is, by the way,
one of the most popular clerks In Omaha,
told of some similar and dissimilar experi
ences. "A woman came to our hotel a few
weeks ago who belongs to the souvenir
fiend class. She was frank enough," he
said, "to tell another woman guest, one
of our permanent patrons, that she hud
Just returned from California and had the
loveliest collections of hotel souvenirs in
the oountry. These souvenirs consisted of
sliver spoons from nearly every prominent
hotet on the Pacific coast from San Diego
to Seattle and from San Francisco to Uen
ver across the country. And still this
woman In gloating over her collection of
spoons never thought she was nothing
more or less than a common thief.
"Less than a year ago function was
held at one of the Omaha hotels that was
to be arranged regardless of expense and
flowers of the costliest kind were to be
provided- Now, ordinarily the flowers pro
vided at hotel banquets belong to or are
rente by Uie few tall ed ae la fio Wise

the property of the banqueters; they are
simply a part of the decorations. It hap
pened to be so In this Instance. In the
floral arrangement of the table It was
necessary to use several small silver
plated vases. They cost considerable
money and were In thla Instance bought
for this particular event. Well, at the
close of the banquet over half of the vases
had disappeared as well as all of the
flowers, the total cost of which was really
more than we received for the entire ban
quet Matches Cot Bis; Flsrnre.
"Bometlmes I think the hotels supply
half the city of Omaha with matches.
You would be surprised to learn the size
of the match bill of a hotel In Omaha for
a month. Of course we expect to give
matches awsy In almost any quantity our
guests desire. But the guests do not take
one-fifth of the matches taken from our
desks. Whenever anybody wants a match
he walks Into the hotel and fills his vest
pocket with them, without even saying
thank you.
"About a year ago a New York traveling
man came to our hotel and after register
ing handed me a bundle' of money wrapped
up loosely in a piece of newspaper and
asked me to take care of it for him. I
put the money In the safe and he went
out and Immediately proceeded to get on
a big drunk. He went down Into the red
light district and eventually wound up at
the police station. There he complained
that he had been robbed of a big sum of
money. He telephoned me to come down to
the station to get him out or rather testify
to his respectability and I did so. He
came Into the hotel shortly afterwards and
wanted me to endorse a check for him on
his New York house for 860. I then asked
him why he wanted to draw on his house
when he had money. He denied having a
dollar. Then I asked him if ha remembered
leaving a bundle of money with me. He
had forgotten all about it- Well, I re
stored the money to him and be was man
enough to telephone down to the police
station and report that he had found his
money and to release the suspected parties
from arrest.
Woman Finds the Diamond.
"Another case happened with me not long
afterwards. A Chicago couple stopped over
at the hotel enroute from the Pacific coast
and just before leaving In the morning the
woman reported that she had lost a val
uable diamond pin that she was sure had
been stolen from her room. ' They did not
want to mako a fuss about It, but asked
that we would try and locate the thief and
recover the pin. They went away and we
made a very careful search of the rooms
occupied by the codple but found noth
ing. In the meanwhile one or two of the
house help were held under suspicion and
we were about to discharge the suspected
parties when a telegram came from the
man staling that his wife had found the
pin. In preparing her toilet the morning
she left the pin was brushed oft the dresser
and managed to be caught In a part of her
dress, to which It was still adhering when
they reached Chicago."
