Tho Omaha, Street Hallway company. is

Tho old open .cars aro being given, a
thorough overhauling and whllo they will
not be used for regular traffic, they will

when desired for picnic or excursion,

Concluding that. Is to be the wlimtirj
side, lloea It. U. Howell of the Watt r
board Is out against tho Auditorium
bonds.
"This Is simply Fred Nash's schfcnie to
unload an Unprofitable business on Ibo
city," said Howell.
Howell has a little plan nil his. own.
"Build nn auditorium on tho Central High
school grounds," ho says, "arid permit
tho high school cadota to Use It regu
larly as an armory. It would be centrally
located ajid would servo all purposes. '
Improvement clubs nnd civic orgnnlzi
ttons, which have unanimously endorsed
the Auditorium bonds, bavo taken ' up
the Issue with Howell and aro hot on hl.i
trail. Commercial club members arc con
siderably riled and citizens scneially aro
rising In Indignation.
A circular denouncing tho Auditorium
bonds Is being Issued by tho Water board
boss. Ho Is also circularizing the town
for the proposition to sell seven street
car tickets for 25 cents.
Who Onus the Stock t
"What about this Auditorium boni
proposition?" said Howell, rehearsing hi-t
arguments. "Who owns tho stock? Vhat
kind of a building are wc buying? The
fact Is that tho South Omaha sto !;
yards, packing houses, electrlo light com
pany, gas company and 1 street railway
cdmpany own 57 per Cent ot tho stock.
They say they will sell' tho Auditorium
tor some private enterprise It tho people
db not buy It.
"Do not be misled. There Is no danger
of them selling It. To whoso profit !s
It to maintain this Auditorium? Why,
clearly to tho profit of these stockhold
ers. Will they .dlsposo ot It? Iluhl"
Howell said: "If Nash had a gooJ
business proposition In the Auditorium
ho would not, bo eager to sell. Nash has
been opjioned to public ownership of ev
erything, .butt be now comes .out for tin
jiublfc ownership of tho Auditorium in
order to Unload on tho people."

The sending of Pror. CJrubb's book, a
tix-ntlro on potato growing to the farmers
along Uk line In northern Nebraska. Is
but the beginning of a campaign that tho
company proposes to Induce better fnrm
tng A couple of years ago the Northwestern
sent Its dairy experts into tho country
along the Nebraska lines, where they
remained several weeks, going from farm
to farm, giving practical nnd scientific
lessons In the modern methods of caring
for milk and producing cream. Tho re
sult has boon, It Is said, that In the
counties visited by tho experts, farmers
and dairymen have Increased tho cream
olttput materially, thereby Increuslng
their profits correspondingly.
Tho plans of the rnllrond company this
year contemplate aiding tho farmers In
raising better jotatoes and more to the
acre. The potato text ' books by Prof.
Grubb, the Colorado expert, are going
out In largo numbers and General Man-
ager Walters Is of the opinion that tho
mcney Invosted uy tno company in mo
purchase of theso books will bring good
returns, not only to the farmers, but to
the railroad company In tho matter of
freight that It will recolve on potatoes
shipped to Omaha and othor markets.
Krent Potato District.
Tho counties of Holt, Itock, Brown,
Sheridan, Dawes, Sioux and part ot
Cherry, all In Nebraska, are looked upon
at comprising the great potato raising
belt of tho United States, it Is said that
In these counties the soli is especially
adapted to tho growing of his particular
branch of the root crvp fajnlly, that tho,
potatoes yield moro to the acre and are
of a much better quality than thoso
grewn under Irrigation in Colorado,
Wyoming, Idaho and Montana,
Ijtft year tho counties heretofore named
raised and shipped out' something like
1,000,000 bushols and. everywhere they went
onto a market In competition with po
tatoes grown In other sections, they
sold nt top prices. This year, with the en
couragement that is to be given them, it
Is boltoved the farmers In the area named
will more than double their acreago
planted and consequently, will mor than
double their yield arid profits.
Hundred Itushela to Acre.
Throughout northern Nebraska there
always has been an abundance of rain
to mature the potato crop and make it
profitable. Last year the potatoes turned
out better than 100 bushels to tho acre
and there were but few. Instances where
they sold for less than SO cents at the
stations to which they were hauled. Many
fields where the cultivation was kept up
during tho season and where the plants
were kept freo from Insects, yielded as
high as 175 and some of them went to
200 bushels pv acre.
The Northwestern people do not prop0"
to Intimate to the Nebraska farmers that
they do not know how to raise potatoos
and get results, but they intend to brine
to their attention the knowledge of ihe
experte and Induce thom to adopt some of
the newer" methods.
