MILLARD S1LENI ON RACL H May Bt in Kebr'ak When Leti? ltor IlsoU a Senator. HE SPEAKS : NOT- "OF HIS CANDIDACY Kxpeete Short Session of Comrtaa, to 'Which lie and Conarre.. aan Kennedy Go Thla . Week. Asked If t would be back to attend the legislature when It elected United States senator thla winter, Senator Millard, who leaves Thursday for Washington, wheie congress convenes December 1, said: "I can't tell as to that. I intend to come home for the ' Christmas holidays, about two weeks, and may be here during that period." The senator had nothing: to say of his candidacy. He said Upon his return last spring' that his future was In the hands of the legislature and has said nothing since publicly to counteract that statement. The senator says he does not anticipate much new legislation thla term and es peclally before Christmas. He thinks the session will be a short one. "The probabilities are little work will be done at thla session outside of passing the appropriation bill," said Senator MUlaid. "There are times, however, when it take.-" quite a considerable period to attend to those affairs and this may be one of them. "The president has Just returned from Panama and he probably will present a special message on conditions as he found them tbere. A recess will be taken for Christmas, December 21 until January S, and as a rule little Is done except to get Started in December. ' Caanl Batlt by Contract. "The canal undoubtedly will be built ,, by contract and I "understand the advertise ments are now out calling for bids. Secre tary Taft outlined the way the contracts would be let in his speech at the Burwocd theater When he was In Omaha a month ago. "I have no idea anything will be done to change the rate bill at this session, as the consensus of opinion . seems to be Uiat It should be given a thorough trial before it is tampered with . again. The commission has been given great power and It will be given an opportunity' to1 show what It will do with that power. I don't anticipate any jnfw ieglsmtfoH.-but ilthTI presidents ac tive as President1 Roosevelt is one can never tell what will be presented for our consideration." - Congressman John L. Kennedy expects to leave forN Washington Saturday evening. Friday he will go over the South Omaha postmastertihlp matter and may be able Saturday morning to announce who will be recommended for that position.

MISSING GIRL NOT YET FOUND No Trace of Violet Ayers, Who Dis appeared from Her Home at Waterloo. Viola Ayers, 14 years old, mysteriously disappeared at Waterloo, this county, on the night of November 16. Search has been made by the citizens out there and VIOLA AYERS. the police and probation officers in Omaha, but no trace of her has been found aa yet. Some of her wearing apparel, It will be remembered, was found on ' the wagon bridge over the Elkhorn river at Waterloo, but. It Is generally believed, was put there as a blind; and, although some search has been made In the river, no trace of her has been found up to today. The picture Is printed In the hope some one may recog nize her and give Information that will lead to her apprehension. Communicate with the police or , probation officers, Omaha, or authorities at Waterloo. Deputy Sheriff; 'Mitt U"ir Waterloo Monday In response ' to a request of the cltisens' committee In charge of the search for Viola Ayers. The mother of the girl and others were closely questioned and a special effort made to find some clue to the girl's whereabouts, but Haze returned wlthont any. t Yesterday, men were drag ging the river and made thorough search from the wagon bridge a mile below to the big sandbar not far from the railroad bridge and no trace of the body was found. A possible cluo may develop from the story of a Valley woman that a traveling optician, giving the name of Qulnn and described as a large, heavy-set man with chin whiskers and a mustache tinged with gray, stopped at the house of the Valley woman the week previous to the disap pearance of the girl, and had much to say about Waterloo people In general and the . Ay(ri farniy In particular, and although he had been at Waterloo he returned here, and from his apparent acquaintance with the girl and the family and the state ment of his that she had so much trouble and he was very sorry for her,' lends some color to the belief that be may have helped the girl to get away. WINXECKUR CASE IS DROPPKD j Baltimore Man Will Kot Be Proa ented for Klrinnnlna; Child. BALTIMORE. Nov. '28. Lasarua Win neckur of this city, who was charged with kidnaping Floyd Brur.er. a 12-year-old boy of Grand Island, Neb., will not be prose cuted for the allegtd offense. A telegram was received here today at police head quarters from the Nebraska authorities an nouncing that the boy had returned home and that the charge against Wlnneckur will be dropped. GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Nov. . (Spe cial.) Floyd Bruner, the 12-year-otd boy who has been the central figure in the al leged kidnaping case, was returned to the arms of his mother last night, at a late hour, by Editor Brown of the Omaha Ob server, an acquaintance and friend of the family, who had traced the lad to Balti more. The meeting was an affectionate one and waa apparently aa much a source of happiness to the boy as to the mother. And, with the return of the boy, and upon the advice of Mr. Brown, no further action will be taken in the matter. Sheriff Dun kel had not as yet left for Baltimore. I'pon hearing the boy's story It has been decided that Wlnakur had no criminal Intention, meant only well for the boy though acting lll-advlsedly, and he will not be prosecuted. The boy relates that Wlnakur left money for him here to Join him at York. Wlnakur had been at the hotel where the boy was stopping. Hla mother, it appears, had found occasion to punish the hoy for some offense. It waa deemed by others as un recessury punishment. Others encouraged Wlnakur. The boy himself left this city of his own volition and alone. He nut Wlnakur. at York. YV'lnakur took him to Baltimore, where he secured for htm a po sition at light work In a factory and made arrangements to send him to a night school. It seemed to be Wlnakur's plan to make the best of the opportunities for the buy and that he believed this would be better than his surroundings at the hotel In tins city. In view of thene facts, there being no evidence whatever that Wlnakur had evil Intentions, the case will be dropped. Mrs. Bruner will keep her boy with her at the hotel until In January, when she w;ll I vn4 him to the Fllivi' kfltltarv a..ua. u ..

Governor John M. Thayer Issued a procla mation that the amendment to lengthen the terms of legislators and to Increase tht pay was a part of the constitution. The official vote as canvassed by the canvass ing board showed this amendment did not carry, so no proclamation waa issued At that time, but a recount by the legislature showed it had carried, hence the procla mation was' Issued on the authority of tho legislature, being different from the one Just issued in that Governor Mickey acted upon the report of tbe state canvassing board.

TABLE ROCK At the regular meetlnjf of Table Roek lodge No. 33, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the following of ficers were elected for the ensuing term: C. O. Plummer, noble grand; C. H. Car mlchael, vice grand; M. 11. Marble, record Grand Island. The first and greatest need for the de velopment of the Interior Nebraska towns, In the opinion of many of the members of the Commercial club of this city, la cheaper fuel. Without that the fulfillment of other wants would not be complete. Water power ia out of the question on ac count of the instability of the supply and the Immense expenditures first necessary to secure the same were the supply what It should be. Steam coal costs 14 per ton in carload lots, and the best grades are not procurable at that, in recent years, the rates having r.dvanced about 30 per cent. Other conditions must be very favorable, therefore, before industries can be estab lished, though in many lines tbere are such extremely favorable conditions for in stance, the ready, cheap and direct sup ply of raw material. A second great need is more equitable freight rates. In ths heart of a great stock- feeding country It is regarded as almost impossible to establish a packing industry owing to the handicap enumerated In the . a ,.,.v, urm. alci i'm u tMimo, uniiui.ti of a high local rate that must be added to reach the Missouri. A third need la additional capital, and the retention of home capital in home enter- prisea. There can be little doubt but that thousands of dollars are annually Invested from auch Nebraska town, a. Grand Is- land, in western mines, all doubtful of realisation, which would be Invested in home enterprlses under the proper conditions and terms, home capital combining with outside capital. In properly, equitably and legally organised companies. In one year (40,000 of capital waa taken out of this county to be invested In the develop ment of other states, which amount, under the proper conditions, would have been In- vested toward the development of Nebraska resources with the result of adding to rather than subtracting from the wealth of the state. A fourth need of thla particular city is a transportation line, steam or electric, into the rich Loup river valley, weat and north west of Gandy. The people of this valley made, every effort available to Interest cap ital. For twenty, thirty and forty miles In either direction there are, for a rich terri tory here, no transportation facilities whatever. Such a line would Immediately add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the value of the fine farming and dairying country in thla valley. The Commerc al club of this city once took the matter up, but interest Anally began to lag, both on the part of the peopl. in thla city and those of the several counties interested, owing to the bigness of the undertaking. Either one of the railroads now entering Grand Island, or the Missouri Pacific, will even tually tap this territory and find it a r.ch "take." Not sn inconsiderable need of Nebraska towna, if Grand Island were taken as a cri terion, would be a revival of public spirit- cdness and enterprise and the evangel of patronizing nome inausiry. in muny n bras k a towna the business man seems to be pulling all for himself. Only that which directly benefits him alone appeals. That which might benefit hla neighbor aa much as himself Is left for the other to do and Is left undone. Ths average attendance at ths meetings of the commercial ciuba in any of the so-called "third cities." of Ne braska will tell the same story th. lack of Interest in public affairs, or In that which la not of sole, individual benefit. Thla will, upon close inquiry, be found to be the situ ation not In Haatlnga alone, not in Bea trice or Norfolk or Grand Island alone. It will be found general. It extends, too, from city to country, snd from the Interior cities to the metropolis; and it grows almost into a spirit of antagonism, one against the other, should, by some good fortune, the one obtain some seeming or real adv nta$e over th ether.

NORTH PLATTE The Burlington ha closed up deals for twenty-five pieces o real estate In the southern part of tli city, and received the deeds for the sam During the past tew days no further a' tempt has been made to purchase anj lost opportunities it means. Not an incon siderable need of Nebraska towns and cities Is to "get out of It." A. F. BUECHLEH. Secretary Commercial Club. Gerinar. In the extreme western part of the state, nestling at the foot of historic Scott's Bluff, on the south bank of the North Platte river, is situated the beautiful little city of Gering, the county seat of Scott's Bluff county. Established In 1887 by the pioneers who settled thut portion of the state. It has con tinued to grow in a substantial manner, and although three miles from the railroad, which is on the opposite side of the river, it continues to be one of the solid towns of the western part of the state. Situated In the geographical center of the county, as well as In the finest lrrl- gated valley along the North Platte rlvir, it ha a grand future oefore it. At present its greatest need la a railroad, which will Boon be consummated by the . . , extension oi me union .racine ironi unn n. n, ... , x-iaiie iu iwl'k jrwver in yuming. This road is now almost completed to Bridgeport, thirty miles east of Gering, and as all the surveys made by the Union Pacific pass through Gering. its citizens and well wishers am confident that within a year the road will reach the town. At present we have four churches and one of the best schools in the western part of the atate. Wo have no saloons- and nepd nnnn neea none. The valley contiguous to Gering contains about 35,000 acres, of which 17,000 acres are already Irrigated by the Mitchell-Gerlng canal, and the balance will later be cov - ered by the government canal now under contemplation, Land under the canal now in operation la selling for tU) to 175 per acre. This land a few years ago could have been pur chased for $2 to 13 per acre. Now, under the beneficent system of Irrigation, It Is only a matter of a few years when It will be worth from $100 to $200 an acre. Alfalfa, potatoes, sugar beets and all kinds of small grain are the staple crops raised. Alfalfa produces from four to seven tons per acre and sells at the alfalfa mills for 75 per ton, to be ground into alfalfa meal. Potatoes produce from 150 to 3o0 bushels per acre and of excellent quality. Oats produce from fifty to 130 bushels per acre and sell at $1.25 per hundred. Sugar beets produce from fifteen to twenty-four tons o the acre, with a high percentage of sugar. We are assured of a beet sugar factory as soon as the railroad reaches our valley, and this will be an Immense benefit to th town nnd the country surrounding ltf. As the road nears us many new enter prises will start up In Gering. At present, next to a rallroud, an up-to-date hotel Is needed, and anyone possessing the means to erect and operate a good hotel will cer tainly reap large returns for his invest ment. The finest house In the county has re cently been erected In Gering at a cost of about $5,000. This residence, being built by one of the pioneers of this part of the state and one thoroughly conversant with the conditions here, testifies to the future solidity of the old town ot Gering. The citizens of Gering and surrounding country are mainly Americans, contributed from Illinois, Iowa, Colorado and the east ern portion of Nebraska. Our supply of water for Irrigation pur poses Is unlimited, and for domestic pur- poses the water obtained at a depth of fifty feet ia as good as can be found in the atate. Rough building material and fuel la ob tained In unlimited quantities from the hills adjacent ta our valley. A. 11.
