CONDITIONS ARE BETTER THAN EVER
Mow Look aa It Wntr Nebraska
Would Become Greatest Wheat
Hriloa, Buys R. J. Tate
of Fremont.
An executive meeting; of the real estate
men Interflsted In colonisation in the Union
Pacific territory Irv Nebraska la being held
at the Millard fiotel. It waa called to dis
cuss the land situation In Nebraska, with a
view to encouraging colonisation aside from
special railroad land Interests. Represen
tatlvea are present from Dodge. Cheyenne,
Keith, Hall, Perkins, Buffalo, Kearney and
Other western counties. Reports from
several of the real estate men attending the
meeting Indicate that a lively Interest Is
being taken. In western landa and the com
ing year promises to be one of the best in
real estate matters known to those sections
of the state.
R. J, Tate of Fremont la at the Millard
In attendance upon the real estate meeting.
"Ral estate matters In Nebraska are In
tho best shape m my whole ssperlenoe,"
eays Mr. Tate. This applies particularly
to farm lands and colonisation matters.
Lands are now selling in the old time arid
belt of western Nebraska, for from 110 to
$20 an acre that a few years ago averaged
about 1500 per quarter and even lens than
that. This Is particularly true of Cheyenne,
Keith, Hayes, Perkins, Lincoln and other
western .counties. . Inquiries are - coming
from all parts of the eastern states for
suitable ' farm ' lands ' in western Nebraska,
and we find a -ready sale at good figures
for all we have to offer.
"Many eastern Nebraska parties are pack
ing up and moving west to the more rea
sonable priced lands. The Campbell system
of dry cultivation has effectually solved the
problem of cultivation In western Nebraska.
The introduction of the macaroni wheat
into Into the western country has praotieilly
revolutionised wheat raising In that section
and it la surprising.. the success which has
' followed the Introduction of this wheat In
that region. It now looks as "H western
JNebraaka is going to become the great
I wheat region of the state."
HOLES SHOT IN WINTER AIR

that the representative of the juvenile
authorities had wrought, havoo with the
surrounding atmosphere, riddling it with
many bullets.
Bernstein stated he had gone to the
Wakeley home to secure a 14-year-old
daughter In the family, whom, tie as
serted, was not being brought up prop
erly. He said tho young girl la In a con
dition for which a ypung man ataylng in
the house Is responsible, and all with the
knowledge of the father. He said when he
asked admittance it waa refused by Wak

PACKERS DENY TRUST STORY
oath Omaha Men Bay Report of
Gigantic Combination is
Pare Fake.
Inquiry among all the Packing house
managera, with the exception of Michael
Murphy of the Cudahy Packing company,
who Is out of town, has failed to develop
any evidence ao far as South Omaha la
concerned that there is any truth in the
reports published from Chicago to the ef
fect that all the Chicago packera had
agreed to enter a mammoth combination
under the head rff I-ouls F. Swift. The cap
italisation of the big concern waa quoted
at (300,000,000.
Mr. Edwards, the manager of Swift and
company, branded the report as a pure fake.
He said he had heard nothing of any such
meeting aa waa mentioned, nor did he give
any credence to the thing as even possible.
The same opinion waa given from the gen
eral manager's office of Armour & Co., and
the Omaha Packing company. Mr. Culver
of the Omaha Packing company said that
while It might be possible for the Chicago
packers to have such an Important meet
ing; still he thought it could not have taken
place without an Inkling of the kind being
heralded to this point. No such Information
has been received and he considered the
story unfounded.
LAWYERS WANT OLD DOCKETS
Dissatisfied with Those Provided
Last Tear by the Board of
Coanty Commissioners. y
Lawyers of Omaha are dissatisfied with
the bar dockets provided during the last
year by the county commissioners. A com
mittee composed of F. A. Brogan, M. A.
Hall and Charlea Battelle called ,on the
commissioners Monday morning to take
action toward getting the old style of dock
ets printed. Prior to last year the dockets
provided and given to the lawyers at the
county's expense were handsome volumes
of. many page, giving a directory... of. at
torneys, rules of practice -and , recording
ench case, together with its docket and
page and the attorneys for both sides. Op
posite each printed page was a blank page
for notes. To print 300 of these each year
cost the county from 11,200 to $1,500. .
The commissioners were not sure they
had the authority . to order the dockets
printed and the bar committee will take
the matter before, the court to secure a
decision on the power of the board tn the
matter. The abbreviated dockets printed
last year cost only about 1300.

When someone saw John Kelson, a home
less individual, enter me partially con
structed All Saints' church building at
Twenty-alxth and Dewey avenues Sunday
night, a telephone message waa sent to the
police station that burglars were abroad,
and a hurry run was made to the place by
patrol wagon. The building was sur
rounded and the surprised Nelson was ar
rested and taken to jail.
The windows of the structure are atlll
covered with cloth to keep out the cold air
while the men work inside, and Nelson had
cut a hole In this to gain entrance. It
looked much like burglary, but as the cul

"I have juat returned from Sheridan.
Wyo.," says Captain H. E. Palmer, "and I
am tremendously surprised at - the great
development, not alone ot that .city, but
the entire western country during the last
two or three years, since my last visit
there. It now bas a population closely ap
proximating 10,000 and is growing by, leaps
and bounds. Two new railroads have al
ready entered there and another la coming
in from Miles City, Mont. In contemplating
the wondroua development ot that country
during the last few years It Is tike a Rip

built there within twenty years, and every

Negotiations are under way for the sale
of the Coad property at the northeast cor
ner of Seventeenth and Harney streets, and
options on the property are In the hands
of George & Co. It la not certain yet the
property will be disposed of, as the real
estate company's client has advanced no
miner, though he Is considering the pur
chase seriously enough that the company
Is willing to risk Its own money by taking
an option. One option expired January 1
and another was secured by Oeorge A Co.
C. C. Oeorge says the Independent Tele
phone company Is not contemplating the
purchase of the corner.
More sales of farm property west of the
city were announced Monday by Harrison
A Morton. This firm has sold a part of
the Woolworth estate, one portion to Oscar
PIckard and one to Henry Rohlff, at $128
an acre. The combined purchase of the
two amounts to thirty-eight acres and the
property is five end one-half miles west of
Omaha and one and one-half miles south
of the Dodge street road.
Another real estate firm has sold sixty
acres of the Woolworth estate at 1125 an
acre. The buyer Is thought to be Leonard
Everett of Council Bluffs, who acquired the
Connor farm of 400 acres a few days ago.
All these deals on the Woolworth property
have been closed In the last few days.
Maay Bales at Hlh Prices.
Many sales of farm land in the aame
neighborhood have been made at high fig
ures In the last year. The highest price
was reached a few days ago, when ten
acres of the Wear farm, on the south side
of Dodge street, live miles out, waa sold
to C. Chriatenaen at $362.50 an acre. Mr.
Christensen expects to build a large resi
dence on the land In the spring.
The largest transaction was the purchase
of the Conner farm last week by Leonard
Everett for about $50,000, which is $125 an
acre. Last summer B. H. Thomas sold his
: ISO-acre farm five and one-half miles west
of Sixteenth street and a half mile south
of Dodge,' to A. P. Wood. The price waa
$128 per acre. About a year ago the
Logan Enyart farm of 10 acres. Just north
of the Connor farm, was sold to David
Stull at $110 per acre.
A few weeke ago a syndicate beaded by
Oeorge & Co. bought from David Reed
and Hugh McCaffrey eighty acres on the
Dodge street road four miles west of the
Inoetofflce. raving $35,000. TV Is will be
parked and sold In acreage tracts for coun
try homes.
Another part of the Reed farm was sold
a year ago In small tracts to Omaha people
for homes. On this Oeorge H. Payne has
completed a residence, Mrs. C. E. Bates
has one partially completed and John W.
Robblns will erect a brick residence In the
spring. On the next farm Mrs. T. C. Shel
ley has broken ground for a country home.
In the same neighborhood L. O. Perley,
C. S. Hayward. T. J. Nolan and E. M.
Gibson have bought small tracts and are
planning residences.
Dana Joaes Place Belle.
' The Dana Jones farm, southeast of the
Connor farm. Is said to have changed
hands recently at $126 an acre, but the
name of the buyer Is kept secret. Over
tures have been made to W. A. Paxton for
Ms big farm west, of Benson. ' Whether or
not Leonard Everett Is seeking to acquire
these properties Is a topic of general dis
cussion among real estate men. It is ad
mitted that Mr. Everett holds options on
farms In the neighborhood other than
those he has secured.
Mr.' Everett now owns 880 acres within
a few miles of Omaha, a part of it near
South Omaha and a part near Benson.
When he recently Invested $50,003 he was
debating whether to buy near Omaha or
Kansas City, but after a trip to the latter
city he decided prospects were better at
Omaha.
Preparatory to placing on the market
tract of Dundee property which they have
been grading for a year, Oeorge A Co,
have engaged the services of Oeorge E.
Keseler, the ' landscape expert, who will
ptat the tract. Mr. Keseler was landscape
engineer for the World's fair at St. Louis
and la now tn 'charge of the park and
boulevard systems of both Kansas City
and St. Louis. '
Two farms near Irvlngton belonging to
the Harwood estate of Massachusetts have
been sold through R. C. Peters A Co. One
farm of 138 acres went to A. C. Dlen of
Pierce, Neb., st $85 an acre, and 120 acres
went to L. H. Anderson of Irvlngton at
the same figure.
FURNITURE PRICES GO UP
Increase of Ten Per Cent Levied 1
Factories to Make I'p (or
Losses.
"The price of furniture haa Increased
again, this time 10 per cent," remerked
local furniture dealer. "We had to- meet
the advance In buying some new supplies
from the factories and wholesalers and the
private customer must In turn meet It.
"There are several reasons which could
be assigned for the steady and persistent
Increase In the price of furniture; the raw
material for woodenvmre Is not as plentiful
aa It once waa, labor la higher, prices of
all commodities have gone up these are
reasons; but I believe the main reaaon Is
that people for years did not buy as much
or as good furniture as now and many
factories went broke, whereaa with . a
greater volume of money, more general
proaperity, people are buying more and
factory men are seising advantage of the
opportunity to make up for their losses.
And I don't know that they are altogether
to blame. Perhaps you and I would do the
aame thing under similar circumstances."

SIXTEEN COMMONWEALTHS TO JOIN IN
Meeting at Denver Is to Devlso Best
Methods of Promoting; Sys
tem of Irrigation aad
Cultivation.
To consider the development and settle
ment of the dry land sections ot the west
a general convention will be held at Denver
January 24 and 26, to be known aa the
Transmlsaourl Dry Farming congress. The
call has been sent to every state west of
the Missouri river and word has been re
ceived that delegates, with state sanction,
will come from practically all of the six
teen states Included In the call. The Be
already has published the namea of th
Nebraska delegates selected by Governor
Sheldon.
It is necessary, so it ia said by those who
are interested, that some steps be taken to
educate the farmers who are today, coming
Into the dry lands of the west. In Colo
rado alone TO, 000 new homeseekers have set
tled themselves within a year. Twelve hun
dred homesteads In Kit Carson county,
Colorado, were taken up In 1906, and this
record waa almoat If not quite equalled by
other counties in other western statea. Of
theae great bodies of settlers, the larger
proportion are from eastern states, and
are entirely unfamiliar with western con
ditions. ,
Pnrpoao of Congreas.
The purpose of congress ia, first of all,
to form a permanent eduoatlonal Inter
state organisation somewhat on the line of
the National Irrigation congress, and aec
end, to afford a full and free discussion of
the principles of scientific soil culture, and
of their development In the west. Speakers
will be present from every state west of
the Missouri river. The United States De
partment of Agriculture will be represented,
it Is hoped, by Secretary Wilson. Every
agricultural college In the west will have
Its man In attendance. Mead of Washing
ton, Campbell of Nebraska. Olln of Colo
rado, Jardlne of Utah, and a soore of oth
ers of the brightest agricultural minds In
the country are on the program, and few
things that refer to dry farming will re
main untald.
Convention headquarters have been
opened at room I, Albany hotel, Denver,
where all visitors will be given a welcome

and Information on the subject of dry
farming. Nebraska Is practically the pio
neer state in this kind of farming and
vast areas are now producing magnificent
crops which were formerly a desert waste.
It is now sssured a crop can be grown on
nearly all this western land, and the prob
lem now Is to find a system which will
produce the greatest crops with the least
amount of labor. It la certain a crop can
be grown with sufficient labor, but tho
problem is to get a crop with small enough
expenditure of labor to make It pay.
