The Land chow will not be wholly devote 1
to talk of land or exhibits of the land's
produce. The entertainment part of the
exposition, most Important from the popu-
lnr point of view, Is to be well taken care
of. Dally concerts, afternoon and even
ing, by brass bands and by choruses, and
octets will be the features of the enter
tainment program.
The most novel feature of tho munical
arrangements Is the appearance In Omahu
for the first time of the famous Hawaiian
Octet, an organization of eight native
singers, from the Sandwich Islands.
These soft-voiced people were first
brought to the I'nlted ftates to attend the

These Hawaiians will bft heard here sing

States a few years ago by a glee club of
Harvard university. It Is a haunting mel
ody, full of sorrow-suggestion, and It la
about the most Impressive piece of simple
music that Americans have heard Imported
In years. It Is one of the truest specimens
of folksong that exists.
Another song wh:ch the Hawaiians will
give Is a battle hymn, which Is as glori

of music as "Aloha" Is sad and haunting
Their repertory alao Includes many popu

Tha several members of the octet art

many Instruments, besides singing. They
are thus able to aocompany themselves
on' the mandolin, the stther and guitar
and native Hawaiian Instruments of some
what similar genua and species.

organized for the occasion, and which
coutains most of Omaha's best professional
Instrumentalists.
Besides these persons and organizations
the land show has secured the services
of a Scottish pipe band. . which will dis

be the appearance one evening of a Bo
hemian aextet.
Lloyd Child", the Hawaiian commissioner
in charge of the Octet's tour, has an
nounced that his people will prepare and
serve at the land show native Hawaiian
dishes and beverages. Here ia, an oppor

When the manasement of the Western
Land Exhibits company decided to show
fish In the different processes of artificial
hatching it struck upon a subject in which
all are Interested. Everyone likes fth to
eat and all like to aee the little beauties
flitting around In tho water. Tlsh are one
of the great ret-ourcea of the growing went
and are becoming more and more so each
year as the streams are being stocked from
the hatcheries from the various stntrs.
Fish Commissioner O'Brien, in charge of
the Nebraska stale fisheries at Gretna, will
have supervision of the exhibits which will
be placed in the basement at the Auditor
ium, along the west wall. In full view of
all. Mr. O'Brien has had many years of ex
perience In handling fish and is the best
posted man In the west on fish culture and
breeding. Vnder his direction tho streams
of Nebraska have been made to abound
In flah of the best kind, and carp and
many other undesirable kinds of fish have
been seined from the different lakes along
the Missouri river and all through the
el at a.
Many years ago carp were planted In the
atreama of Nebraska, but It has been found
that these are not a desirable fish as they
are of the sucker variety and prey upon
the eggs of the game fish, thus cutting
down the Increase of the more desirable
fish.
The land show comes at a most opportune
time for the placing of a fish exhibit for at
this season of the year the game fish are
hatching and the artificial Incubation of
trout will be shown In full view of all the
visitors.
Hatcheries at Gretna.
The hatcheries at Gretna are most com
plete and are considered models, consider
ing tha amount of money which has been
spent on them. They are beautifully lo
cated along the Platte river, Juat at the
foot of a rising hill, from which Isaues a
splendid spring, which gives forth Ita tool
water the year around. This water is used
alt over the grounds, for drinking water, to
supply some of the smaller ponds in which
are kept the game flah and also to supply
water for the hatcheries building where
hundreds of thousands of fish are arti
ficially hatched each year.
This is the season of the year for trout
to hatch and Mr. O'Brien will bring some
of his breeding fish and will give' lectures
on the methods used In artificial Incuba
tion. For this exhibit a large trough is
prepared In which there Is running water,
for the eggs continually need fresh run
ning water to keep them hatching.
Female fish will be brought to the land
show and the eggs extracted artificially,
fertilized and then placed In the running
water to hatch. Eggs In the various
stages of Incubation will be shown and It
is certain thousands will witness this ex
hibit. Processes of fish Incubation have not

midwinter at which time there are seldom
expositions at which they might be ex
hlblted.
All the game fish indigenous to the waters
of Nebraska and the country tributary to
Omaha will be shown. Mr. O'Brien has
some splendid siieclmens of all known
kinds of trout, mountain, speckled, rain
bow, brown, brook, etc. Crapples of the
different varieties will delight the eyes
of the fishermen and all kinds of ohbs will
flit around in their close confinement.

Huge catfish will have a tank to them

rivers have some immense catfish which
respond at times to the lure of tlm hook

paratively free from bones and have firm,

Sun fish will be exhibited, of large and
small variety. The youth of Omaha is
Is familiar with this fish, for that is the
kind that he can catch the easiest at
Carter lake, and many a small lad of
Omaha has caught a sun fish as his first
catch of the finny trlbo.
Millions I. sit Year.
That nearly 11,000.000 fish were planted
during the last tvro years In the various
lakes, streams end ponds of Nebraska is
reported by Superintendent O'Brien of the
state fish hatcheries in his resume of the
work of his department.
The flali Include all thane hatched arti
ficially at Oretna and Valentine, all token
from overflow waters and all transplanted
or purchased. They ranged in aixe from
two weeks old to mature siae.
O'Brien recommends a law limiting tho
aize of all fish taken and asks fur a fund
to enable fish to be taken from overflow
waters and drying ponds before they per
ish. The superintendent of the fish hatchery
would protect catfish, pickerel, sunfish
and bullheads as well as other fish by for
bidding that they be caught under a cer
tain slxe.
More Farmers Want Fish.
Stream improvement, Irrigation ditches
and ponds created thereby, have caused
the farmers of Nebraska to take moro In
terest In the fish o these lakes and
streams. It Is possible to stock almost
every such pond and plans are being made
for a fish exhibit of these In connection
with the Western Laud Products exhibit.
It will be the first such exhibit made at
a Nebraska exposition Blnce 1'M, when an
extensive fish exhibit was made at the

development projects of the West distances
are great. Hauls ate mcessarily Ioiir and
economy demands that they be made st

whll In itself representing peihap-i the
greatest step towsrd the attainment of
that economy In transportation, will open
up the possibility for yet further reduc
tion In the cost of country hauls by the
use of the motor tractor. Development of
the commercial vehicle to meet the needs
of the farmer is already far ahend of the
highway development which Is necessary
lo their successful adoption as a general
means of transportation. The gasoline
motor tractor is near at hand, but It will
be of little use until there are roads to run
it on. roads of the kind that will make
the use of the tractor a true economy over
the use of the draft animal.

Adding to the force of the lesson tausht

deliver his principal address.
Railroads have long realized the im
portance of reducing the cost of the haul
over country roads. Campaigns for road
betterment have been Instituted by many
of the great systems of the nation. The

The Good Roads Exhibit
Is the exhibit that received the approval of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, when
shown at tho Minnesota Conservation and Agricultural Development Congress as the best ever
exhibited.
This exhibit of the Highway Commissions of. the state of Minnesota is being constructed by
John If. Mullen, Assistant State Engineer of Minnesota, who will be in charge of the exhibit and
will lecture daily on the practical methods of better road building.
It shows in a practical and interesting way, the evolution of road making from tho Indian
rail and cow path to the approved macadamized road of today.
Good roads mean

Much interest Is felt In a remarkable law

Among the witnesses summoned are their
majesties the Dowagrr Queen Sophia of
Biveden and Queen L' uise of Denmark,

proved by four letters which I have, de
posited with the (.then) Crown rrtnc Oa
car, the late king of Sweden,"
It Is for the purpose ot proving the ex
istence and contenta of theae letters that
the royal witnesses are called. If th
case comes to trial some very Interesting
developments are expected, whether the
queens and princes testify or not. It in
regarded as possible, however, that th
case will be settled out of court.
