GUYE RETIBFR0H TRIP
Labor Commissioner Back from Look
Over Homestead Lands.
MUCH HAS BEEN TAKEN U?
Still Goodly Amount in Sand Hill
Section that Is Subject to
Entry Teachers Go to
Chicago.
(From a Staff iCorrespondent)
LINCOLN, July 2.-(Special.) Labor
Commissioner Guye returned this morn
ing from a trip through Cherry, Thomas,
Hooker, Grant, Box Butte, Dawson and
Sheridan counties, where he Investigated
the matter of vacant government lands
open to homestead entry.
He says that in visiting the land offices
he discovered that about 60 per cent of
the land which was open at the time of
the last report has been taken up, but
that there is plenty of good land left A
little later in the week he will issue a
statement which will cover fully the
ground regarding the vacant land.
"When one first alights from the train
in the section where this land is lo
cated," said Mr. Guye, "he is struck with
the idea that he would not give 15 cents
for all the vacant land in that part of
the country. But as one gets out and
sees what is being done he is convinced
that those who have settled upon this
land are the ones who have solved the
problem of making a living easily. They
depend upon the increase in their cattle
and horses for the profits on the farm.
They have plenty of fine water, easily
accessible, plenty of grass for feed at all
seasons of the year and they seem to be
in a most prosperous condition, for fail
ure of crops does not affect them. If
the general public knew the real facta
in regard to homesteads on this land I
do not believe very much of It would
remain untaken very long."
Mr. Guye Is Intensely Interested In
seeing settlers on this vacant land, and
in his letter, which he will soon publish,
he hopes that those interested will take
advantage of the facts in the case which
will be shown .therein and hasten to
possess themselves of a home of their
own.
Long Fne License Case.
The supreme court Issued an alternative
writ this morning returnable September
t. at which time the village board of

nlng says in his petition to the court
that William H. Westover, the only Judge
In and for that district, Is away attend
ing the democratic convention and no
. body knows how long he will be there,
and for that reason someone ought to
get busy and do something. He charges
Descher with selling liquor on election
day, before 7 o'clock a. m., and to habit
ual drunkards.

Suburban Town Will Refase to Al
v low Omaha. to Tear Up Streets
for Florence Main Unless
Taxes Are Forthcoming,
Following the end of the nine-year war
between the city of Oman and the
Omaha Wafer company over the -water
works purchase, lines are being .drawn
for another extended conflict between the
city of Omaha and Its suourbs, taxes
upon the water works properties being In
controversy. So far as Omaha is con
cerned there will be no taxes against
the properties. The city cannot tax Itself.
But Florence and other suburbs and
Douglas county do not share with Omaha
In the ownership of the plant and they,
or some of them, will war for ' their
taxes.
Acting under Instruction of the city
council, Corporation Counsel Ben ' S.
Baker went . before the equalization
board yesterday and asked that the taxes
against the water properties be can
celled. The request was granted.
Street Rights Are Held.
The Florence city council Monday night
adopted resolutions toward the end of
assessing and levying a tax upon the
water works property by mandamus,
and took action to prevent the new owner
of the plant! the city of Omaha, from
tearing up the Florence streets to lay a
second main, through which Omaha Is to
be supplied with water. In addition the
Florence council adopted a resolution
commanding the mayor and city clerk t's
refuse signatures to warrants for hydrant
rentals, which were due Monday night
Attorneys Are Retained.
Both the town of Florence and the
school district within the limits of that
corporation are Interested In he collec
tion of taxes. Florence has employed
McCoy & Olmsted as counsel and M. L.
Learned la retained by the school district.
As long as the plant was In possession
of the Omaha Water company Florence
collected $7,000 or $8,000 in taxes, and the
levy for school purposes raised tha
amount to about $10,000 annually. This
amount represents about half tne taxes
necessary to conduct the affairs of Florence.
Corporation Counsel Baker said: "There
