Growing Crops Are in Fine Condition in Platte Country General Manager Walters, Chief En gineer Hchenck and Assistant , General Freight Agent Jones of the Northwest ern, on the annual Inspection of tho lines west of the Missouri river, camo back to Omaha Thursday night, after po int; over the lines In tho South Platte country, and Saturday will start over tho lines to the west and northwest, Tho Northwestern officials were In tho south Platte portion of the state during tho storm of Wednesday and Thursday and report much moro snow thoro than in the vicinity of Omaha and through east ern Nebraska. Speaking of It, General Manager Walters Mild: , "While tho south Flatto country was not suffering by reason of a lack of moisture, tho heavy, wot snow coming at this tlmo ought to bo beneficial to the Winter wheat, which Is In the best con dition that 1 have ever seen It at this season of the year. At many of tho sta tion where w stopped, I talked with the f aimers and every whero found that they aro in tho best of spirits over the crop prospects for the coming year. Owing to tho last wlntor being so mild and so much moisture In the ground, freezes did not injure tho growing grain In tbo least Th fields are In splendid shape and tho few warm days that wo had recently turned the wheat plant Krcen and put It In condition to commence growing rapidly as soon as real spring weather sets In, On tho whole, tho south Platte country was never In better condition than it this time."

Four cubic yards of dirt have been re moved and the earth keeps oozing out. McGovern wilt put In a sewer thero next week. The engineer will Investigate and rrnko a report on the unusual occurrenco.
