Market is Glutted With Xmas Trees Commission dealers, anticipating an Im mense trade, laid In a supply of more than -10,000 Christmas trees, nil young evergreens from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. To these dealers the con- j uiiueu warm weatner nas neon u great disappointment, and with Christmas llt tlo more than a week away, they still have- tho most of the trees on hand. Many Christinas trees have been sent to the country, but the demand has been nothing like holiday seasons of the past, and bo far as tho city trade Is concerned, it is said that It Is much below the nor mal In the tree line. STATE IS AT WORK ON ITS NEW EXPERIMENTAL FARM H. B. Howard of the Burllnton's land department Is back from Curtis, Neb., where he spent several days locating some parties who had bought land. Mr. Howard reports work progressing well on the Improvements being made on the state experiment farm, where a branch of the university Is established and where buildings will be erected as soon as the legislative appropriation Is made and Is available. Tho big 115,000 cow barn Is about completed. Just cutslde the town limits of Curtis. the state owns 690 acres of choice land, donated by citizens in order to secure the scnooi. inis iana was purcnasca at a cost of 130.080. CITY OFFICIAL NOT ABLE TO COLLECT HIS SALARY rufuial of big coal dealers to pay their occupation taxes this year has deprived the asMstant Inspector of weights and measures of his salary for the last Uiree months. An attempt Is being made to draft a new ordinance that will meet with the approval or the small and large coal dealers, but nothing has yet been proposed that will be accepted by both hides. In the meantime the Inspector of weights and measures Is unable to cpl Uet the graduated occupation tax without recourse to the courts. Storage Men Deny Butter is Held Here to Any Great Extent Omaha cold storage houses say thev are not In on the alleged butter corner which Is said to have been discovered by government secret service agents In Chi cago. While Omaha Is tho largest butter manufacturing and distributing center In the world, the cold storage men declare they have not the facilities here to store tho commodity to such an extent that It could be culled a corner. One atoragn man said this morning that he doubted If there is as much as lOO.Crt) pounds of butter In storage In Omaha. It Is being shipped out as fast as made, ho said. Omaha consumers only use 20,00 pounds a woek and the remainder of the output Is sent to all parts of the world. Some of tho butter In storage In Chicago Is from Omsha. Tho demand for butter now Is very IlKht, Omaha storage men further declare. While seven cars aro shipped from Omaha dally during the months of June and July there are now being shipped about two cars dally. This is said to be natural, though, because of the season. In spite of tho fact that It was given out from Elgin that no more butter quo tations were to be sent out, the quota tions were mode a usual Monday, butter being quoted firm at M cents. This quo tation will control tho price In Omaha for tho next week, as the cerameries will soli for 2 cents over tho Elgin price This Is a drop of 1 cent from last week.
