"Tha high price of all farm products Is
bark of the enormous Immigration move
menta to the northwest In search of cheap
lands," said George B. Haynes, immigra
tion, agent of the Milwaukee, who was In
Omaha Thursday. Mr. Haynes la an
Omaha product who Is doing yeoman
service for the Milwaukee In building up
the country adjacent to the company's new
line to the . Pacific coast.
' "On top of the present high price comes
the announcement of Patten that the high
prices will continue for a year at least
Ho la right when he says that the Increase
In crop acreage has not held pace with the
Increase In population and that there Is a
real demand for farm products. The farm
era of the more populated districts reallc?
that now Is the time to secure ' cheap
farms for the coming generation and the
movement this spring Is unprecedented.
"Dakota Is i.ow settled with a farm on
nearly every quarter section for twenty
miles on each side of our tine and settlers
are pouring Into Montana on every train
The high price of farm products Is making
cheap lands quite attractive, for under the
present prices a farm may soon be made to
pay for Itself and no one realises this bet
ter than the farmers who are flocking to
the northwest, a village to a train at times!
It ia a aort of an equalization proposition
for tha young men here have a chance
to branch out and make a stake for them
selves. Tha cost of living In the towns is
Increasing and It is some times hard to

but hare are chances offered to own a

James McKenna, 15 years of age. left

since. The police departments of Omaha
and South Omaha have been notified and a
diligent search has failed to find any trace
of the lad. Every part of the park and

JUDGE HOPES FOR REUNION.
HESITATES TO PUT UP BAR
Coart Is Mow to Act on Mrs. Good
son's Plea for Separata
Maintenance. x
"It appears that Mrs. Goodson tried to
do her whole duty to the children, but the
plaintiff nevertheless has not established
any reason for the antipathy to the little
girl," declared Judge Redlck in district
court Thursday, speaking with regard to
the suit for separate maintenance brought
by Mrs. Helen Goodson against her hus
band, Abrsham E. Qoodsun. a mssseur.
The Judge did not finally rule on the
case, but declared that he would not grant
the decree of Mrs. Gootlson, there being a
possibility of ultimate reconciliation.
"These parties can't live together," sug
gested Mrs. Goodson's attorney.
"That Is true st present," replied the
court, "but they may ultimately be recon
ciled. It would not be wise for this court
to put a bar In the way of such reconcilia
tion as a decree of separate maintenance
would be."
Whereupon the attorneys fell to sparring.
Mrs. Goodson's counsel suggested thst the
marriage state was the most sacred of re
lations and reconciliation to be reel must
be voluntary; that to drive Mrs. Goodson
back to her husband through the pinch of
poverty would not make for such a real
reconciliation.
The other side thought that to grant
Mis. Goodson a money allowance now
would be Just what she wsnted and utterly
spoil any making up In time to come.
Judge Redlck said he would hear tha
attorneys at more length Monday.
SURVEYS WILL BE MADE FOR
DRAINAGE DITCH ON TUESDAY
k
First Real Step to Be Taken Toward
Building This Canal In
Sarpy County,
Commissioners Of Saipy county with their
surveyor, Roy N. Towle, civil engineer, of
Omaha, and a number of Omaha owners of
land above the proposed Papllllon river
ditch, will leave Omaha Tuesday In auto
mobiles to go over the line of the proposed
improvement which will drain 40.400 acres
of Douglas and Sarpy county lands.
This Is the first-step necessary In the
plan to dig the ditch and have the state
"underwrite" . the bonds necessary under
the new Nebraska law, which Is said to be
one of the best drainage district taws In
existence. . , . , ,
Following the trip of the commissioners, a
meeting will be held in Papllllon Tuesday,
June , when the boundaries cf the drain
age district will be fixed and apportion
ments made from this.
Few ditch enterprises have promised to
be as popular as the Papllllon ditch.
Though many of the owners are nonresi
dents and represented only by real estate
agents of Omaha, these owners are willing
to pay the extra tax that their lands might
be well drained, and, though they are
valuable now. It Is estimated that the ditch
will Increase them from $40 t. t0 per acre.
The trip Tuesday will be made over both
branches, beginning at Ralston, and also
at Lane, following the line to where It Is
proposed to have the ditch meet the Mis
souri river a few miles above the mouth of
the Platte.

Corn as well as pine trees grow In Maine.
William D. Hurd cf the University of
Maine hss notified the National Corn ex
position that the snow has been shoveled
off some ground where pine trees were
wont to grow and 200 farmers are growing
corn to send to Omaha and compete with
the corn from Mexico, where the ban.ma
trees had to be grubbed before the corn
could be planted.
This Is the latent variety added, to the
big corn show which Is In the making.
C. A. Mooers of the Tennessee Agricul
tural college will prepare an exhibit show
ing some of the corn which Is now being
produced In that state, where for years It
haa been said the "Mountain Whites" made
moonshine out of their corn because they
could not grow enough on one farm to feed
a good pen of hogs
Prof. Mooers has demonstrated that Ten
nessee will produce corn in sufficient quan
tities to make a good living for a family
without making the grain Into whisky.
Some of the c rn will be sent to Omaha.
From Massachusetts comes word from
Kenyon L. Butterfleld. president of the
agricultural college, that his ' state will
make an exhibit at Omaha. As a member
of the president's Country Life commis
sion Mr. Butterfleld visited the 1908 expo
sltlon and has been boosting It consis
tently since.
In Montana Alfred Atkinson, agronomist
at the Montana School of Agriculture, Is
having so many Inquiries and receiving so
much encouragement that some 13.000 will
likely be Invested by the great state for
an extensive exhibit, besides the individual
entries.
Girl Within an
Inch.of Her Life
Young- Woman Comes Near Being
Struck by Police Auto at Six
teenth and Howard.
The new auto police patrol came within
a narrow margin of striking a girl at Six
teenth and Howard streets Wednesday af.
ternoon. And If It had struck her she
would never have known the difference.
The big automobile was going north on
Sixteenth at a rapid clip. A crowd of
people were standing on the aouthweat
corner waiting for the South Omaha car
to round the corner when the auto whisked
In and around the car just as the latter
turned In on Sixteenth from Howard
street. It was going at a rapid rate. Tha
girl, with others was crossing the street
from east to west and the auto came close
enough to the girl to brush her skirts. She
was terribly frightened, but not worse
than the apectators, many of whom cried
out In wrath at the fleeting autolst.
'That young woman may tell her friends
that she haa been within an Inch of her
life," ' remarked a priest Who boarded the
street car with many others for the base
ball park.
BREEN INADVERTENTLY RAISES
SUM OF SUIT OVER DOUBLE
Writes ari.OOO Where He honld
Have Written 2,000 and Coart
Permits Amendment.
The suit cf Michael Mitchell against the
Omaha Packing company took a sudden
Jump from district to federal court Thurs
day, a mistake on the part of Attorney J.
p. Breen resulting In the transfer.
Breen. who appears for plaintiff, asked
leave Wednesday to file a new petition in
the suit and was granted It. The original
petition had been lost. Mr. Breen received
a carbon copy from R. W. Rrerkenrldge,
attorney for the packing company, and
filed this In the office of the district clerk.
The case went on and a Jury waa secured
by the time the Wednesday afternoon ses
sion ended.
Thursday morning Breckenrldge rose
when court convened and entered a mo
tion that the case be removed to the
United States circuit court, saying that
the suit had been for $2,000 on the original
petition, but that on the copy which
Breen had filed It had been raised to $5,000.
Breen admitted that the change was
made In his handwriting, but stated that
it was due to an Inadvertence or mistake
on hla part and that he had confused the
case wtlh another.
Judge Duy declared that he would take
the statement a made, give plaintiff leave
to amend to $2,000 and overrule the motion
for a transfer.
Breckenrldge then asserted that his mo
tion was simply one of courtesy, that the
suit having been entered for $5.0TO, and he
himself having tendered1" a bond, the case
Ispe facto removed as a matter of pro
cedure on account of the amount asked.
The court decided to dlsmlrs the Jury and
the question rf Jurisdiction Is up to the
federal court, with the weight of opinion
Inclining to the belief that the cause has
been removed.

"Lock Me Up,
I've Embezzled
Company Money"
This ii Confession of Stere Schmidt,
Suleiman for Voegele &
Dinning.
Lock me up. I've been embesxltng
company money and I'm tired of it," said
Steve Schmidt, a salesman fot the Voegela
at Dinning Confectionery company. Thurs
day morning to Chief of Detectives Siv
age at the police station.
He would not glva further particulars.
but Insisted that wVt he said was rignt,
so the police plic -J him In u cel in the
police station on the charge of cmbeisle
ment. When seen later he said he hsd
been appropriating his firm's money for
some time and had taken a considerable
sum. Just how much, he said, he did not
know.
It Is thought Schmidt's confessed pecula
tions hsve preyed on his mind, for he
med broken In spirit and sat In a cor
ner of his cell eagerly perusing the morn
ing papers In a dim light. When asked
about his family he broke down and wept.
The man lives with his wife and three
sons at 2721 South Twelfth street He is
middle-aged and of Austrlsn descent.
R. J. Dinning, of the firm employing
Schmidt, said that he could not state what
amount was Involved, although he thought
It might be rather large for such a man as
Schmidt to take, as he confessed to have
been embexsling funds for several years,
Schmidt had worked for the candy manu
facturers for about four years.
Until the matter Is looked up on . the
company books and accounts, no action
toward prosecution or a settlement will be
taken. In the meantime, Schmidt sits In
his celt, Industriously reading everything
In all the papers In a vain effort to fcrnget
his trouble. He occasionally remarks about
his family.

CLERICAL ERROR IS COSTLY
Misplacement of Two Letters May
Prevent the City from Open
Inge an Alley.
A clerical error In recording a deed In
1886 Is preventing the city authorities from
opening an alley between Leavenworth and
Mason streets, from Thirty-ninth street to
Fortieth street and Sinless ths record can
be changed the city will be unable to hold
title to the alley and to enforce
an order to tear down a fence which en
closes It.
Tha alley was deeded to the city in l&W
by J. W. Eller. A ahort time ago it waa
fenced in. Wednesday City Abstracter
Hartley, who haa charge of the city's
realty, ordered the fence removed and the
alley reopened to traffic. The clty't au
thority waa questioned and when the city
abstracter looked up the records he found
that the deed was recorded between the
city and "J. Weller." Instead off "J. w.
Eller." Unless Mr. Eller can be found and
the record changed title to the alley will
be a matter of question.

FOR SALE BY
D. C. Patterson
Shows Bank How
to Be Financier
Borrow! Money from Fint National
to Bay Iti Property on Tax
it Knew Not Of.
This is a story ot some financing dis
closed by the sale of Ralph Place at Forty
second street and Dewey avenue to the
state of Nebraska for the site of the
orthoped'o hospital.
It Involves the sale of a tax title under
the scavenger law and a "sting of In
gratitude" which is the subject of much
comment among rea estate dealers.
Ralph Place, conaisting of thirty-two lota
bounded by Dewey avenue, Emllie street,
Forty-second street and Forty-second
avenue waa formerly the property of
Lyman Richardson. It pasaed to ths
N&tional Land company, the holding com
pany of the Kountze heirs and tbe First
National bank.
When the scavenger law m-as passed D. C.
Patterson, a lawyer and real estate dealer,
bought the scavenger tax title to the prop
erty for 12.600.
To produce this $2,800 Mr. Patterson went
to the First National bank and borrowed
the amount. As anon as he could get to
the county treasurer's office he bought tha
tax deed on the First National bank's
property.
But Judge Redirk has set aside the Pat
terson deed because Patterson did not glva
proper notice and his deed was faulty.
When the state wanted to buy Ralph
Place for the orthopedic hospital tha sgsnts
had to settle with Patterson and he Is
said to have been paid M.00O rather than
have him carry the case to the supreme
court, all because ha could borrow money
from a bank with which to buy the bank's
property on a tax which the bank did not
know existed when Patterson got on.
