1 ilio exodus of our good citizens to Can
tics l stradlly increasing, and another
wuve of emigration from the United State
tr- Mexico has net In. 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

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.

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

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'

were oven told that the papers thev were

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
