It la estimated that not Ira than 50,000 heads of families, most of them successful farmers, expatriated themselves In IMS and took up homes under tho Hrltlsh flag. All of them had money, pfobably none had less than (1.0UO, so that at leant tfVO.OiC.OOO of good American coin was, taken from this country and Invested In Canadian property. The lure of cheap land la strong and as long as the Can adian northwest offers (ts virgin prairies to homeseekers at low prices, the rush of actllers Is likely to continue. Land values, however, have steadily risen, and with the passing- of Canadian lands selling at (3 to SIS per acre It Is probable that the opportunities for homemakers In our own west may prove sufficiently attractive to stem tho' northwest tide. A Complaint orten made by homeseekers ts that there Is a lack of Information con cerning the available public domain In the several western states. Our remaining pub lic lands, exclusive of Alaska and our Island possesiono. Consist of about 170,000, OOd acres. Much of this Is mountainous and a good deal of It Is arid and worthless without Irrigation. There are, however. several millions of acres of seml-arld land tipen to settlers in tracts of 320 acres each located whtre new methods of cultivation and scientific planting have enabled the skilled and energetic farmers to overcome the deflclont rainfall. These are bolng rapidly taken up. ' Irrigation Work. ' The completion of successive units on a number of the large Irrigation works of the government is making available choice farms In several states. To meet the de mand for Information concerning these lands, the reclamation service has issued descriptive pamphlets which are mailed on request by the statistician, United States reclamation service, Washington, D. C. At the present time excellent opportunities exist on a number of projects. The num bfr and size of farms open to entry, cost of water right, and the cash payment re quired are given herewith. On the Belle Fourche project. South Da. liota, , there are sixty farms containing from forty to eighty acres each. The water . right charge Is only $30 per acre, and th -'first payment required In advance is $3-40 per acre, the balance being payable in ' nine annual Instalments without Interest. - The Huntley project, Montana, offers to homestead entry 224 farms, averaging forty acres each of Irrigable land. The cost of ' water right Is $30 per acre, in addition to which $4 per acre must be paid for th land. The initial payment is $4 90 per acre, a the balance being . payable in nine equal Installments without Interest. The Shoshone project, Wyoming, has available 257 farms averaging forty to . eighty acres each of Irrigable land; water ' right charge, 46 'per acre,' payable' one-one-tenth down, balance in nine equal an nual instalments. Hun Hive Project. Sun River project, Montana: Eighty five farms vacant, averaging eighty 'acres each of Irrigable land, water right charge J30 por acre, maintenance and operation, 60 cents per acre; first payment $3.60, balance In nine equal annual installments without interest, ; Umatilla project, Oregon: Seventy farms not yet taken, averaging twenty to forty acres each of Irrigable land; water right charge $60 per acre, maintenance and ' operation, $1.30 per acre. First payment, $13.30 per acre, balance in seven annual installments without interest. The above farms are located in settled agricultural districts. Neighbors are plen tiful, transportation facilities are good, towns are near, with stores, schools and churches. On several of these projects, eight farm houses are located along each mile of the main highways, giving the tounty more of a suburban than a rural appearance. Of all of these projects, the crops last year were satisfactory. The fruit farmer, stock man, general farmer and truck grower will find what he ts look ing for on one or . more of these projects. Ko. more capital la required to make sueces on one of these ramie than on a wheat farm In Canada, and the additional advantage of remaining in the United States Is augmented also by the much more agreeable and milder climate of these ...

Experiment may Came ' Displacement of Negro Waiters for Whole System, Girl waitresses may supplant the colored men on through dining cars on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. Superintendent R. R. Matters of the dining car service, has found a shortage of good men waiters and after trying out a few girls he finds the experiment successful. As the road does not maintain any diners west of the Missouri river the travelers west from Omaha will not have a chance to be served by girl waitresses. The first waitress on a diner was Mrs. J. Gamier, wife of a colored employe running from Omaha to Chicago. She refused to be separated from her husband and was allowed to wait upon one of the tables In the dining car. Her work was so successful that Superintendent Matters hired other girls and still more are to be secured. BUD LATTA'S HORSE CASE GOES TO HIGHEST COURT Will Teat Right of Shipper to Br cover Fall Amount Following I'ndervnluntlon by Self. Second trial of the suit of Bud R. Latta of Tekamah against the Chicago, St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha Railroad company was started, in "the United "States circuit court Saturday morning and -dispose of after about a fifteen minutes ties ring. Latta brought suit against th railroad company two years ago for the loss of a valuable trotting horse, which was burped to death in a freight car, while In transit to St, Paul, claiming damages for $3,000. The hearing resulted In a verdict for Latta for $220, the named value of the horse. it appeared that in turning the horse over to the railroad company for shipment he placed but a nominal value on the animal. An appeal was taken from the verdict of the lower court and the Judgment was re versed and a new trial ordered. It Is this new trial that was disposed of this morn nlng. An agreement was reached by the plaintiffs and defendants that the Jury should assess damages in favor of Latta for $3,583 for the loas of the horse,' but that the final determination of the case should be left with the supreme court " of the United States to determine between the question of the intrinsic value of an animal Injured or killed In transit, and the fanciful value of the animal, based upon Its money earning qualifications, as in the case of a race horse. . The purpose of carrying the case to the supreme court Is to determine the question of value of animals, and whether a shipper fixing the value of the animal at one figure to get the advantage of a lower rate of freight, can recover a fanciful valuation In case of destruction of the animal, even though it bo shown that the animal has been greatly undervalued for shipping and freight rate purposes. i DANES GET A NEW FLAG Society Given Emblem Replace One '...

UNIVERSITY OF OMAHA WINS BELLEVUE DEBATE Trio of Freshmen Carry Day with A rgm me nt In Behalf of Commis sion Government, Freshmen of the University of Omaha de feated the- freshmen team of Bellevue col lege Friday night In a debate upon the question of adopting the commission plan of government In American cities. The winning trio had the affirmative aide of the question and Bellevue college the negative. Gladys 'Solomon, Stanton Salisbury and Harry Jerome represented the University of Omaha, while K. R. Newman, R. El Cady and P. C. Kamanskkspoke for Belle vue. The Judges were Judge Ire Estelle, C. O. McDonald and IT. C. Fro me. Th debate was held at the United Presbyterian church. Twenty-first and Emmet streets. The exercises were opened by a piano solo by Miss Elizabeth Anderson, and closed with a vocal solo by Arthur Mc Clung. A. R. Wells presided as chairman of the debate. Th judges' decision was two votes for the affirmative and on for th ngatlve, giving the debate to the Uni versity of Omaha. John Decorum did not, alas, live up to his name. He was a -trifle shifty in marital relations, so 'tis said, and married a new wife while the old one was still alive and undivorced. Wherefore he went to Jail. Likewise John Tbo. afro of the Winnebago tribe of Indians, had domestic trouble of a sort and likewise landed in Jail on a similar four-month sentence. - Friends of the Indians have now begun measures to free them and are seemingly in a fair way to fcUcceed. Th two red men are In the county Jail here because Thurs ton county, where they were sentenced, h&j not u Jail of Its own. Writs of habeas .corpus have been sued out in district court here against Sheriff Bralley on' the ground that the county Judge of 'Thurston county lacked Jurisdic tion to hear the proceedings. Criminal processes in which the charge Involves' on conviction punishment of a year or more must be brought in district court and not In county court: - The two men Were sentenced by County Judge Frank Flynn of -Thurston county to four months In jail. If the point rabed about .Jurisdiction of the county Judge Is cbrreot th Indiana will escape further legal annoyance, because they have already once been placed In Jeopardy.

INDIAN DEEDS HOLtTTHE JURY vcoerai Inquisitors Still Grinding; Awny Over Fraudulent Lenses ' Exacted from Omaha. ine federal grand Jury Is still grinding on me fraudulent Omaha Indian deed and lease sales, and will probably continue its Investigations over Monday. A host of witnesses has already been examined, and the Indications are that from th rea- to half a dozen Indictments will be returned. Most of the Indian witnesses have com pleted their testimony, which" has been sub-' stantlated by a large number of white wit nesses. There remain a dozen or more wit nesses to be examined. The testimony thus far evolved before tho grand Jury corroborates the complaint of the Indians that they were mercilessly swindled In feeing persuaded 'through their Ignorance and Inexperience Into signing deeds transferring their heirship lands and trustee allotment lands to speculators when patents were Issued them for the lands at the expiration of the' twenty-five years' government trusteeship In July of last year. In most cases the Indians supposed, and were oven told that the papers thev were Flgnlng were merely leases and not deeds, but Eiince their patents have been granted they find that they have signed away their lands and are without apparent recourse to recover, except that it may be shown that they have been tho victims of an In famous conspiracy, and that these fraudu lent deeds may be set aside.
