President Tafl. In wan learned today, had
riot recalled In any way from hi" demand
for free hides, regarding free hides as
underlying th uhol prlnolpl of downwaid
revision. A compromise of 7 per cent a
reduction from IS prr rent under ttl.e er
luting la Would be of no benefit, accord
Inn to th president's view.
Unlee hldea r made from there can be
no reduction on boots and shoe and other
manufactured article of leather. The pies
Ident, It la aald, haa been deeply Impressed
by tha representation made to him by
the leather Interests to the effect that un
dr th protection fa the prohibited IS per
cent duty leather and th manufacturer
are at the mercy of four or five big meat
packing concern of the middle c.t.
Hide Meat Fait to Impreaa.
The president declare he haa not been
much Impressed by the argument of west
ern senators that free hide would be fol
lowed bv a demand for free wool. Hldea
never were protected until the enactment of
the Dlngley law. ") ,. . .
Jutt how the hoyt, ahoe and finished
leather schedules In th tariff bill arc to
be revlaad when, there are no differences
between bouse and aenat conferee to act
upon was. one of the puszllng subject un
der discussion today.
The president , chief concern now Is a
to hides. The other schedules are appar
ently to be worked Into acceptable shape,
according to hi Information, and one in
free hide and reduced leather goods pro
gram has been agreed upon the end of the
fight Is In view.
Ilunn'l Kspect Lower Price.
President Tafl, according to those who
have talked most Intimately with him, does
not believe thHt revision of the tariff down
ward la going to bring reduced price or
Would be of.lmmedate benefit to (he much
talked benefit to the "ultimate cunminier."
Instead of a reduction, It Is decided that
there will be actual Increase during the
coining year on many of the necessities of
life, Including wearing apparel.
Even; the putting of hides on th free
list and th accompanying reduction In
duty n finished leather products Is not
expected to work a reduction In the price
of bocf. shoes, harnes or any of the other
myriad of, J thlnga manufactured from
leather.; A a matter of fact th president's
advice, are to the effect that, hide are
rapidly Increasing In prloe and the demand
Is so great tltat even th large exportation
expected from Argentine under a free entry
clause would not suffice to keep th prices
at current figures.
An advance of 21 to per cent In the
price, of woolen good already has been
announced, despite th fact that no change
ha been made In the woolen schedule
This schedule, th president has been told,
will not permit of a reopening at this time
It Is a closed Incident a regard the con
ference. Theory toe President.
In discussing the situation with caller
today the president took occasion to ex
plain In some detail his theory of th prin
ciple of downward revision from a protec
tionist point of view. The Idea Is not to
reduce duties to the point of affi-c.inr
home Industrie, or to. admit Imports to
what, from the republican standpoint,
would bo unfair competition with the home
made article.
Th president is represented as regarding
downward revision as a means of protect
ing people from monopoly and excessively
high price Each time a schedule which
Is regarded a having become excessively
high as a result of the development of
home Industries and. the progress of manu
factures, the president' Idea I said to be
that the tariff rate should be lowered to
th extent of fixing a reasonable limit be
yond which prices cannot be raised without
Inviting Import in just competition.
He summed up the theory of tariff re
vision a hot so Much to bring about Im
mediately lower prlcts to the consumer as
to protect the consumer from exorbitant
prices, which might be possible behind a
tariff wall maintained at an excessive
height.
Free Hide Not HI Limit.
Even with hides on the free lint the
president has not admitted In any of his
talks that he would be entirely satisfied
with th bill. In fact, th president de
clared that he did not know of anybody
who ever had been entirely pleased w-lth
any tariff bill.
The president ha declared that he be
llev the Just comparison of old and new
tariff to be one based on the aotual do
mestlo consumption of good upon which
the duty ha been lowered. Even If the
duty I not lowered sufficiently to admit
Of Imports upon a large scale, th presi
dent I said to feet that In lowering th
tariff on article of neral use and con
sumption a great gain ha been mad.

BIO CROP I CENTRAL NEBRASKA
Record Yield of W heat. Both In Unnn
tltr nnd Qnnllts.
HASTINGS, Neb., July 25 Fpeelal.)-A
record yield of wheat In both quantity and
quality, an oats crop that will be the best
for the last five years and a corn crop
that will be up to or above normal are
predicted by K. A. Twldale. a Hastings
grain man, who bases his estimate on per
sonal investigation throughout the central
and south central parts of Nebraska. The
only qualification of this prediction con
cern corn, whose yield Is yet dependent
on rainfall, but liberal showers fell through
out this ectlon last night, and with fair
moisture fiom now on the crop will come
UP to all reasonable expectations.
Accompanied by C. G. William of Minne
apolis, Mr. Twldale put In five day col
lecting first hand Information. They madu
the trip with C. H. Hansel In his six
cylinder automobile, and from the start
to the finish the tour was one of the
most remarkable ever made In Nebraska.
They covered over 700 mile of the finest
agricultural land In the country at a rate
of from 140 to over 200 mile a day, and
for long stretche Mr. Hansel kept the
Indicator on his speedometer up to the
fifty-mile mark and seldom on good roads
was it below forty-five. They went as far
west as Oxford and east M far as Wahoo.
arid from the north of Kansas to a con
siderable distance north of the Platte river.
This Is the territory In which 1 confined
the production of the great bulk of the
state's winter wheat. Last year the yield
In this area put Nebraska Into third place
In the winter wheat column and almost
Into second, for Indiana, which ranked
next (o Kansas, was only about l.OOO.lXiO
bushels ahead, This year Nebraska has a
good prospect of creeping up next to
Kansas.
The government crop reporting service
estimates the acreage of winter wheat In
Nebraska this year at 7 per cent less than
that of last year, when the yield, accord
ing to. the same authority, averaged 17.1
bushels per acre In the state. Mr. Twldale
believes the yield this year la In excess
01 twenty bushels per acre. Last year s
acreage of 2,671,000 produced 14,296,000
bushels. The reduced acreage this year,
on a basl of twenty-one bushels per acre,
ha produced 60,211,000 bushels. The pres
ent prevailing cash price In this section Is
SI cents per bushel, but at 85 cents the
total value oj the crop Is $50,211,000, or
16,628,000 more than the value of last year's
crop. The average yield per acre over the
winter wheat belt last year wa about
fourteen bushels.

CUSTER REPUBLICANS MEET
Text of Resolutions Passed by Mass
Meeting Saturday Afternoon.
PRESIDENT TAFT COMMENDED
Governor Ahallrnliericer'a Administra
tion of State Affnlr nnd Cnm
palsrn Methods of Democratic
Pnrty Are Condemnrd.
BROKEN BOW, Neb., July 24 (Special.)
At a big mass meeting held by the re
publicans of Custer county this afternoon.
the following stirring resolutions presented
by a commlttte consisting of Joe Halfe,
H. O. Glover and A. It. Humphrey were
udopted:
The republicans of Custer county. In
mass convention assembled, congratulate
the country upon the election of William
It. lalt to the presidency, in him we rec
ognlse a brainy and fearless statesman, a
man whose Judicial mind and training will
understand condition and apply remedies,
and we confidently look to him to bring
aoout such conservative legislation now
pending In conmess as will vindicate time-
honored republican urlnclplos and time-
proven correct application of principles to
conditions so that the pending tsrltt legis
lation will express to the country a tariff
bill in keeping with platform pledges and
along the lines of true Americanism for
w hi ch the republican party has always
stood.
On the question of tariff insofar that It
affects schedules, e express ourselves for
and In sympathy with the reductions in
the Impending bill advocated by the sen
ators from the middle western states, vlx. ;
La Toilette. Nelson, Loliver, Cummlngs,
Crawford, Bristol and our own senators.
Hurkett and Brown. We believe with them
thst a tariff should bo devised In such a
way that the burden of taxation should
rail equally on all, and to that end we
favor a high rate of taxation on life's
luxuries and a corresponding low rate on
life's necessities. And we especially con
gratulate our srnators, Hurkett and Brown,
and our congressman. J mine Kincaid. for
their effort to insert thp western Idea of
tariff Into the pending tariff bill.
We congratulate the oeonle of the state
of Nebraska through the foresight of
Ueorge L. Sheldon and the republican leg
islatures of 1905 and 190", the state Is now
out of debt. The Indebtedness of about
$2,000,000 has been liquidated, paid In full;
and we favor such legislation In the future
as will prevent the accumulation of a
floating debt and provide sufficient rev
enue to make each blennlum take care of
Its own expenses.
We condemn the trickery, deceit and
fraud practiced by domdcratle candidates
and committeemen in sending false, spuri
ous and forged communications, represent
ing them to have emanated from the tem
perance organizations or the state; for the
purpose of unfairly influencing voters by
the practice of fraud and deceit to cast
democratic ballots; and we charge that any
political organization that will countenance
and encourage the work of such cowardly
assassins of character and political inde
pendence as was heaped tipon Governor
Hheldon in the campaign of 1908 by the
Carr and Thomas letters, by recognizing
their acts of perfidy and appointing such
cowards to office, are no belter than the
Individuals who engage In such low down,
dastardly work.
We charse the democratic governor and
the democratic legislature of 1909 for their
unfaithfulness to the pledges made by
them In their platforms and their failure
to keep the pledces by them made, after a
campaign wherein they charged extrava
gance, to the legislature of 1907 and the ad
ministration of state affairs under the
management of Governor Georce L. Shel
don, the democratic, management of the
state has spent in appropriations more
than $500,000 more than the republican leg
islature of llW.i while promising strict
economy in the management of state af
fairs; In other matters of legislation the
democratic party has shown Its incom
petency and that It is and has been dom
inated entirely by corporation Influences,
the boss of the leRlslature being the paid
attorney for the Stock Yards company,
elected as a democrat to prevent the very
legislation the Darty had Dledsed. and that
all legislation attempted was brought about
by the consent of the corporations that
dominated the majority party of the last
legislature.
We announce that we believe the day Is
at hand to eliminate the.oDen saloon from
doing business In Nebraska and express
ourselves as in sympathy with and ready
to support any legislation that will restrict
saloon influences and make It harder for
saloons to acquire a legal right to sail
minors in our state.
e neneve in strict economv In na
tional, state and county affairs and pledge
the nominees of the republican party to
conduct the affairs of the office, if elected,
In a businesslike manner, keeping the
records or. tne orrice to which they may
be elected at all times open to public ln-
iei:iion ana me greatest puDIlclty.
We believe In the redemption of all party
piatrorm pledges by the party making
worn given power so to ao; and we
arraign (he democratic oartv for its in
sincerity and Its failure to make good Its
promises when vested with power to do
so, showing conclusively that its promises
were made for the purpose of Influencing
elections and not in good faith and for the
common Kooa.
We Invite all persons who believe tn th
uuuiiine ui repuuiiranism, announced by
Abraham Lincoln, taught by James G.
i.iuimi-, exwuiea try james A. uarrleld, dem
onstrated by William McKlnley, Intensified

BOOSTS OMAHA
AND NEBRASKA
(Continued from First Tage.)
morant" who gets up at S o'clock In the
morning to milk his cows, works In the
field until dark, milks by the light of a
lantern and gets 24 cents a pound for the
butter fat he sends to the creamery
have not found any John D. Rockefellers
or Vanderbllts on the farms of Nebraska
thus far, but the germs of great fortunes
are here, and tt Is within the bounds of
possibility that congress will tome day be
compelled to pass laws to restrain the
farmer in this section from charging high
prices for the food we eat, and to compel
them to publish their profits like th trusts
tirnwth of a Few Year.
Not very long ago Omaha wa a strug
gling little frontier town and th prairies
of Nebraska were merely pastures for
cattle. But the ranches are gradually be
ing cut up Into farms and Instead of rais
ing steers for the packing houses the
farmers are keeping nillch cows and send
ing their cream to the dairies; raising corn
and fattening hogs; and Red Turkey wheat,
which a few years ago they were glad
to sell for 40 and 50 cents a bushel, but now
they demand twice that amount of money
for. The sclentlflo processes of dry farm
Ing have made tt possible to produce good
crops upon the semi-arid lands, and In the
extreme western end or tne state, where
the clouds refuse to furnish the necessary
moisture, Irrigation systems are making
their way rapidly and are making the
farmers rich. I met a Mr. Rushton here
the other day, who said:
"I came to Nebraska thirty years ago
and could then have bought the best land
In the state for $7 an acre. The same land
today sells for $76 and $100 an acre and
produces as much profit for the Invest
ment and the labor as any other agrlcul
tural land In the world."
The farmers are rapidly giving up the
steer and keeping cows. The number of
range cattle In the state Is constantly de
creasing and the number and value of
dairy cow are constantly Increasing. In
1907, for example, the total value of the
range cattle In the state was $11,502,876,
while In 1908 It was $10,258,741. And the pro
duction of pork is Increasing as fast as the
volume of dairy products. Whei corn can
be mixed with skimmed milk It makes the
best hog foods known, and farmers are
learning that fact. They are also learn
ing that tho best breeds of milk cows and
tho best breeds of hogs are the most eco
nomical. It doesn't cost any more to feed
a good cow or a good hog than It costs to
feed a poor one, and Instead of raising a
long time hog and feeding him for eighteen
months or two years our farmers are now
raising hogs that mature In eight or nine
months upon a corn and milk diet and
make sweeter and better pork.
Beet Sng-ur Abandoned.
The sugar beet business Is practically
abandoned In Nebraska, which Is due to
an incompatibility between the farmers
and the business and to the fact that
Irrigated land In tltah and Catlfornla can
produce a higher percentage of saccharine
than ordinary farming. There were three
beet sugar factories In this state at Grand
Island, Norfolk and Ames, but last year
the total produot was valued at only $309,-
400 and the factories paid out only $220,000
for beets. The factory at Ames, I under
stand. Is to be removed to an Irrigation
district in Idaho; that at Norfolk Is closed
and abandoned; and that at Grand Island
Is the only one running now.
These factories were originally estab
lished upon a misapprehension. The peo
ple of the towns furnished the site for
nothing and subscribed for a bonus In
cash, which prartlcally paid for the build
ing, under the delusion that they would
get their sugar cheaper, that the farmers
would got rich raising beets, and that the
new industry would bring a large amount
Of labor and money to the town; but It
soon developed that the factories could
not afford to pay enough for the beets
to Justify the farmers in raising them and
one experiment was usually enough to sat
isfy most farmers that they did not like
the business. Beet raising Is back break
ing work. It requires the Independent
.North Aemrlcan farmer to get down on
his prayer-bones and pull weeds with his
fingers, which most of them decline to do.
They prefer to do their farming on horse
back or In a sulky and that Is Incompatible
with the production of sugar beet.
Omaha Is booming with prosperity. The
biggest business of the town la Belling
merchandise to a wide area of country east
and west. The Jobbing trade last year
amounted to $215,615,000, and $145,377,000 of
the goods were made In this city.
.The packing houses turned out products
to the value of $105,000,000 last year and
which represented 1,032.000 cattle and t.426.
000 hogs. The business la conducted very
much as It Is in Chicago and practically
by the same men. Ther ar four great
establishment owned by the Armour,
Swift and Company, th Cudahy and the
Omaha Packing company. The only dif
ference I that mora range cattle are
killed here because of th convenience and
the saving In transportation, while Chicago
gets a larger proportion of "feed lots"
from the neighboring state and farm cat
tle. Oninha'h Prosperity.
Omaha I becoming quite a woot mar
ket also. More than 130,000,000 pounds of
wool has been passing through the city
every summer from th ranches of Wyo
ming, Montana, Utah and other mountain
states, being sold directly by the ranchmen
to buyer for New England and Philadel
phia mills and paid for at the shipping
point, which is usually the railway station
nearest to the ranch. But warehouses
capable of holding million of pound of
wool hav recently been erected In Omaha,
so that the wool grower In tha west can
store their clip at a point convenient to
the market and hold It for better prices
than they can get at shearing time. The
warehouse receipts will be a good a cash
and storage rate are low.
Omaha ha the largest smelter In th
world. It belongs to the Guggenheim trust.
and handles all th different kind of
metals produced In our western mines,
gold, sUver, copper, sine and everything
else. The output was valued at $40.000.0uS
last year
The Union Pacific Railway company ha
spent $2,500,000 for new shops, car fac
tories and terminal facilities hra during
the last three year and ha purchased a
site and made plan for a $1,000,000 office
building, which everybody expect will be
erected this summer. E. H. Iarrlman Is
th president of a "npany organised for
the manufacture of 1 gasoline motor ear
whicfc ws Invented by W. R. McKeen
while superintendent of motor power on
th Union Pacific railroad. It ha been
remarkably successful and a large shop
has been erected In which It Is proposed
to manufacture gasoline cars to do local
business, hauling passengers, cream, vege
tables, express packages and other light
freight upon the various lines of the Union
Faclflo system in place of the heavy
freight and passenger trains that are now
used. Oc sum of th branch Un there
Is scarcely enough traffic to Justify th
operation of regular rassenger trains, anr'
on others there Is demand for more fre

Dr. Turner Lohveck, a woman physician:

Th engine of a local freight train, which
was Just behind the wrecked passenger
train, was attached to the three Intact cars ,
of the ill fated train and all the passengers
hurried to Kansas City. Thirty-one of tho
Injured are now In a hospital here.
