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. ,'-

County Teachers
to Enroll Today
Miss Mima Doyle gave the young teach
ers ot the Douglas county Institute a
comprehensive talk on the teaching ot the
subject of geography. 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.
Gra milch ot the state agricultural school
will be here and will proceed with the
Instruction 1 nagrlculture. He will make
arrangements for a horse and a place to
give his demonstration in horse Judging
