0 THE BEE: OMAHA. RATrT?PAY, SEPTEMBER 17. 1010. CONSERVATION IN NEBRASKA Scientist. Would Rare Foreit Pre serves Along Missouri River. WANT STATE PARK AT BELLEVUE Cess It tee la Orgaalaeal te Get state Leclalatare to Espead flBO.OOO la Form ronwrritlo la Sarpy Coast?. To set the state of Nebraska Into the wing of the conservation movement and to Klve u a forest reserve of our own, an association of scientific men, has been or ganized and a government expert has made an examination of the land east of Sarpy county between Bellevue and South Omaha. y. W. Morrcll. asHlstant government forester In the Denver office, has been In Bellevue during the past week going over tlie tract of wooded land that Ilea between the village of Hellevue and South Omaha, north and south, and between the boulevard road and the river, east and west. The tract contains about 1.500 acrea of steep hills and bluffs covered with shrubbery and trees and small parts of It are under t-!i:iatlon. The plan for a stars forest reserve Is being fathered by an organisation called the Nebraska State Conservation commli lon and a committee of scientists. Includ ing Prof. O. E. Condra and Prof. F. O. Phllllpa of the University of Nebraska and Prof. A. A, Tyler of Bellevue college, con templates the purchaae of thla land by the state. It would probably cost between 1100,000 and $150,000, since It Is worth all the way from I2S j $200 an acre. Th nly part under cultivation Is mostly In truck farms and nj agricultural lands would be sacrificed. The commission believes that the land would do the state more good If allowed to grow op in timber than It ever would aa farm land, and according to the govern ment forester, enough cord wood could be old from the waste every year to pay for the maintenance Of the necessary care takers. Better for Forests than Farina. "The steep banna are not very available for agriculture," said Mr. Morrell, "but are well adapted to trees. There are about 100 acrea with a good stand of timber. The principal varieties are oak, elm, basswood, black walnut and hickory. The oak grows In three varieties, burr, scarlet and red, of which the burr oak la the beat product "I will report favorably on the plan and will do everything I can to help, but of course the government forestry service can only give advice In the matter. There Is nothing to Induce the government to take ' an active Interest In getting the park es i tabllshed." The atrip of bluff and hill land along the bank of the Mlsaourl three miles long and a mil? in width has a great many natural advantagea for a park and If the state would tako control by having a commission appraise and purchase It, the preserve could be utilized for a great many edu cational purposes. The friends of the scheme would favor the eatablishment of extensive horticultural gardens and government fish hatcheries. The agricultural and science, departments of the stale university could bring parties to thla tract for experimental Investiga tions. It would be traversed with fine boul evards and could be used aa a recreation park on a huge scale for people from all over the eaat end of the atate. All theae things are planned by the conservation enthusiasts. There Is added scientific Interest In the Indian mounds that exist along . the tops of the knolls everywhere in the bluffs. They are prehistoric dwellings and are full of relics of value to anthropologists 'and thnologlcal investigators. Aa soon as Mr. Morrell's formal report Is Issued by the government It will be used by the commission as a basis for the cam paign of education which la to awaken the people of the atate to the fact that they can at a small cost secure for themselves a beautiful and well wooded preserve which can be maintained profitably, The university men are backed by a num ber of professional men, including Dr. Her bert Clifford of Omaha and W. R. Patrick and Dr. Beltxe of South Omaha. The next legislature will be asked to consider the iiuuieUiaie execution of the plan. Fight Picture Protest to Be Heard by Board Governor! Will Listen to Arguments Pro and Con at Meeting Monday Evening. Pamson will bring up the niies'lori of whether or not the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures will be exhibited at the fall festi val at the meeting Monday nlht of the board of governors. Protests will be heard from any who do not favor the ex hibition and petition will be received. Any who care to champion the other side of the case will be heard In favor of the pictures. The Tri-Clty Baraca union Is preparing fifty pet'tions of protest, to be circulated In as many churches in Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs on Sunday for signatures and presented to the board of governors Monday. Aa far as the Board of Fire and Polire Commissioners is concerned, there will be no interference If the governors decide in favor of Jeffries and Johnson. William Wapp!ch, a member of the board, say protests to the board are useless. Twice the members have decided not to Interfere with such an exhibition, and they will not change their decision. The question remains to be settled by the board of governors of Ak-Sar-Een. Specials for the Carnlral. Although none of the roada running Into Omaha have made nny rates on Ak-8ar-Ben in thla city it is dally expected that one of them will take the Initiative In doing so. Arrangements for a number of special trains are being made by the Union Pa cific, Northwestern and the Burlington roads for the big days of the carnival. Parade days, all the roads will probably run special In the 'Doming and arrange for a train leaving here at midnight. The Union Paclflo trains will run as far west as Grand Island, but the distance of the Burlington and the Northwestern -is - still Indefinite. The Northwestern promlaea a train from ita eastern branch also. Connell Goes After Dairies Inspectors Are Put to Work Clean ing Up the Worst of Them. Health Commissioner Connell la not' wait ing for the ordinance of the city council to pasa finally giving him complete Juris diction over the dairies, but has already begun hla campaign. Hia Inspectors, Dae mon and Bonce, are at work giving out instructions to the dairymen and such prime necessities as tile drains and screens will be installed immediately. The health department is not going upon the theory that milk alone is responsible for the spread of typhoid fever. The In spectors make out complete reports on every new caae and every- possible ' source of contagion, vegetables, milk, water and filthy surroundings. . Vegetables shipped in from the south, such as lettuce and some times celery, are very .frequently Infected with the .disease and merely washing It does not remove the germs. The water la alwaya analyzed If It comes from a. pri vate well. The health commissioner does not guar anee to have perfect milk conditions In a few weeks, but will go after the worst places , and get them , cleaned tip, and de clares that' no. dealer will be. allowed to sell milk unless he has lived -up to the most essential rul s. Condemned milk will be pasteurized unless it Is spoiled. " Persistent Advertising la the Road . to Big Returns. . . TRADE BALANCE CHANGES Month of August Swings Pendulum Away from United States. MILLION . DOLLARS OTHER WAY First Klsht Months of the Calendar Tear flrlna More In Trade than lias Been Taken Oat. WASHINGTON. Sept. 18. The balance of trade, which the statistics of the last thirty years have generally shown to bo largely In favor of this country, has turned over. It now stand a million dollars" on the other side of the ledger for the first eight months of this calendar year The month of August swung the pendulum and brought to the United States $3.53,(25 more In trade than it took out. From that ecnJ tl n udents of ecoictn'cs may draw conclusions as varied as. they may be many. One la that there has been no readjustment of prices In the United Statta since the panic of 1107-08. Another Is that the balance of trade has been against us for a long time without showing In the statistics of merchandise because Americans spent 1150.000,000 a year In Eu rope and more millions are paid for ocean steamship freight rates to the German and British banks. However, It Is generally expected that the condition of the national hanks at the close of business on September 1, now being compiled, will verify the latter con clusion In a measure and It Is predicted that the gold Imports for August, which amounted to $0,66sis3, are but the fore runner of the flow of gold due to come from Europe In September and October In settlements for the shipments of grain and cotton. Excess of Imports About Natural. But In spite of the Inflow of gold for August the excess of exports of gold for the first eight months on the calendar year is more than $10,000,000. That Is said to be about the natural proportion, for 'this Is a gold producing country. Reports from the banks of the country are reassuring to treasury officials, because they Indicate that the interior banks have strengthened themselves for the crop move ment and may not make unexpected calls on the ' money centers. The formation of emergency currency associations at the suggestion of Secretary MacVeagh Is ex pected to relieve any situation that mlirht come abort from the Interior banks hoard ing their money. Some of the hearty Sup porters of the law believe It may offset the position the treasury Is In because of the foreign trade situation. It Is pointed out that with the balance of trade, against the United States and the working balance In th? treasury at Its present state the imersency currency Issue Is the most likely aid the banks would have at hand. It Is admitted that the treasury could not do now what It could do In W! to help the banks. What the heavy crop exportation of the next two months will do to the balance of trade w 11 be watched with a great deal of Interest. ilia, xy Whitney Caught Down in Texas Only Missing Member of Mabray Gang Now in Jail Under Indictment at Council Bluffs.
