12 THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, AUGUST, 29, 1912. 'I i HARTE SAYS PENALTY IS VOID Asserts That County Cannot Collect from Court House Contractors. COUNTY MOma DAY IS SET Xew Strattare is to Be Oecvpled Sep temfcer 16 Hd Coart Rewms Will Be Ready Wki , Term Open. r Douglas county will begin moving into the new county building, now Bearing completion, September 16. When the Oc tober term of district court opens, Octo ber 7, all the courts and county office 'will be established in the new county home. -.County Commissioner A. C Harte be Beves the county will be utterly unable to collect from Caldwell Drake, gen- ,eral contractors, , any penalties for their failure to complete the building in con- itracttime, which expired May 1. 1911. He believes that the clause providing for pen alties of $100 a day for every day of over, lime Is vitiated by another olause which provides that the new building cannot be regarded as finished until the old county Court house is removed. The penalties approximate $40,000, "For more than a year, ever since It be came apparent that Caldwell St Drake would no finish the building within con tract time, the county commissioners have 'asserted that they would hold the gen eral contractors for all the penalties. Commissioner Harte says that he will , vote with the other commissioners to hold the general contractors for the penalties, but in his opinion efforts along this line will be futile. f : Caaot Collect Peaaltr. .jar. Harte was asked:- "Don't you mean that they cannot be held tor penalties be tween the time they actually finish the ' building and the time the old building is removed?" .No, I mean we can collect no penalties ,ai alL .If we had had the old building removed at the time the new one should have btien finished, a year and a half ago, then we could collect penalties for I all that time, but the building still stands iand we have had the use of it and we j can't collect penalties for any of that time." "Though the county will begin occupancy of the new building September 16, it will not be finished by that time. For at : least a month longer there will be many workmen In the building, adding finish. J lag touches, 'and for several months the ' painters and Interior decorators will he I at work. ' . ' The commlssloneri still are undecided 'as to what disposition khall be made of the old court -house. They are loth to pay the large sums asked for the wreck ing and removal of the old structure, yet there seems to be no alternative except to wreck it by day labor and sell the salvage tor what little it will bring. -. Waste of Billions ' & Overcome by Silos -The greatest waste in any single in dustry la this country Is . made with the corn crop. : The grain of the an nual corn crop of the United States is worth on the farms $1,600,000,000, In a ripe com plant 60 per cent-of the feed value Is contained in the kernels and 40 Vr cent In the stalk and leaves. With 4h grain worth $1,600,009,000, the feed value of the rest of the crop is $1,000, A,m. At least W per cent of the feed value of the stalk Is lost under the pres ent system ot farm management a waste with this crop alone of almost $1,000,000,000 yearly.. other business but farming could stand such an enormous loss. 'The silo provides the corn grower with the means for utilising the largest pro portion of the feed value of his entire crop, grain and forage. The whole crop can be stored economically In' the silo In compact form. The silage can be kept for days, months or years, or feed ling may begin as soon as filling the silo 'is. completed. The silo can be filled In j good weather., when it is raining, or In , times of extreme drouth and hot wind, j Silage is good ted dally both In winter and summer. When grass la ready in She spring, the feed that remains In the Mo, can be covered and will keep well (until needed when the . summer drouth , comes. Silage furnishes a green, sueeu ) lent, appetising feed through th winter, the same as grass through the summer. 'Jt keeps the animal's system in as good -condition as when the stock is on good ! pasture, and feeds given' with It are better digested. The vast dry farming sections of the .southwest will be as thickly settled with i comfortable farm homes as is the north j ern corn '.' belt, whenever , stock raising, drouth-resistant forage ' crops and the tl6 are adopted, instead of exclusive .grain tanning. Every live stock growing district in the 'United States needs the :aUo. ' Denver is to Have S6,000000 Depot ''Denver is to have a new union passen ger station. It will' be erected on the site it the present one and will cost, together With ground that will be purchased, some thing like $6,000,000. "The Denver Union Terminal Railway "company has been organised, succeeding He Denver Union Depot company. The Incorporators are the Union Pacific, the fcurlinrton, the Hock Island, the Santa Jt the Denver et Rio Grande and the Colorado tt Southern railroad companies. the capital stock Is $10,000,000, $4,000,100 of 'TUch Is held In the treasury for future tSe.' President Mohler of the Union Pa cific is one of the directors of the new 'company. "-Work looking to the construction ot Oie new building is expected to begin "Within the next thirty days. Road Improvements Progressing Nicely on Burlington West Burlington superintendents meeting with General Manager Holdrege, , failed to work out any plans in connection with the new line from Thermopolis to Orln Junction, Wyo. It will probably be Oc tober 15 before this line will be in oper ation and it was thought a little early to work out the schedules and the details. As the lines west of .the river are under the direction of Mr. Holdrege, this Wyo ming branch will probably be added to his jurisdiction, thus giving him more than 500 additional miles of road. ' Reports on the bridge over Powder river show that the work is progressing in good shape and that the - structure and the approaches will be ready for the ties and steel ear!y In September. Switches to be placed east of the Pow der river where the Burlington comes onto the Northwestern have arrived and are ready for installation. When these are in Burlington trains will be run from Cheyenne to Orln Junction over the Colo rado k Southern and from there to Pow der river over the North western. At the last named point they will run over the Burlington's own tracks, which have been laid from Thermopolis down to the west end of the bridge. . ' The completion, or this line gives Omaha another connection with the north Pa cifio coast country. ' Promoted Officers ' are Showered With Beautiful Flowers Chief of Police Dunn's office looked like a floral shop yesterday. The chief was enable to unpack the flowers as fast as they arrived. Friends have showered hira with roses and congratulations' on his promotion to the chiefshlp of the po lice department Civio organisations, the police depart ment and many citizens have sent him huge bouquets. Arthur Brandels and T. P. Redmond sent Chief Dunn a great bou quet worked Into a horseshoe and with it a note wishing him "good luck." Chief of Detectives Moloney and Cap tain Heitfeld have also received flowers and congratulations. . So many flowers have been given the three promoted of ficers that they have expressed the be lief that the floral shops must have bean depleted. - The police department sent the three officers large clusters , of American beauty roses. Every variety of fragrant flower was represented In the gifts to the three officers. '.. ' Bine Says lotion on Weight Measure ' Was inGood Faith City Attorney Rlne denies the assertion that the council sought to nullify the work of the Retail Grocers' association in securing signers to referendum peti tions asking that the standard weight ordinance be put to a vote of the people. This statement was made by, Joseph A, Decker, secretary of the association, who circulated and secured signers o the po tions. i Mr. Rlne said he discovered the fact that the ordinance .had been Illegally passed, but four days ' intervening be tween the second reading and the pas sage of the ordinance, whereas a week should have elapred. ,'- Oscar Morrison is Declared to Be Sane Oscar Morrison of West Side, charged with insaulty by T. E. Brady after the two had engaged In a fin fight which was the outgrowth of a neighborhood row, was adjudged sane and released from custody by the Board of Insanity Commissioners. John O.

She urged that the teachers use concrete illustrations ytt first in order to make the subject con crete to the pupils, thus laying a founda tion for general ideas ot geography. The ideal instruction in geography, she said, would come only when teachers could take their classes out Into the oppen fields and there study geography as it Is found close to nature. So far the younger teachers have en rolled, about seventy In alt Thursday morning the entire force ot teachers of the county Is expected to enroll. H. J.
