From $90 Month to
81,090 is Fortune
of BurlingtonMan
Sixty days ago John Rogers, night fore
man at the Burlington's roundhouse at
Ureybull, Wyo., was drawing a salary of
0O per month.
He Is still drawing that salary, but In
Addition thereto he Is receiving 11,000 per
month as-royalty from oil flowing from
wells that have been drilled on a little
tatch of land that ha owns Inside tha
town limits of Greybull.
Long before- oil was struck within the
town limits of Greybull. Rogers bought
four town lots, pretty well out In tha out
skirts. .They cost htm a little more than
MOO each.
An oil strike was made at Greybull and
subsequently wells were sunk on the
block adjoining the one In which Rogers
wned lots. Oil men came to him and
wanted to buy his lots. He would not
tell, but he made a lease. It providing
that the parties taking the lease could
drill wells and he be given a royalty.
Drilling was commenced and continued
with tha result that on the Rogers lots
there are now four producing wells and
his royalty on the oil amounts to $1,000
per month. However, he still wears his
greasy overalls, works nights and draws
his $90 per month from the Burlington.

Fanners Anxious to Hare Accurate
Figures on the Various Crop
Estimates.
BRAND LOOma FOR HELP
H. R. Gould of the United States
National bank bad to make good at
the Farmers' Congress on bis esti
mate of tho corn crop of the state.
Gould Is the man who for several
years baa carefully prepared an an
nual crop estimate of Nebraska by
taking the figures furnished him by
hundreds cf banks In the state and
hundreds of elevators.
The farmers criticised the figures and
said the corn crop was not nearly so
large as represented here. C. H. Qiia
tafson of Mead, president of the Farm
ers' Union, read the figures, 23,000,000
bushels of corn, and declared he would
give the president of the bank a new hat
If there were actaully over 176,000,009
bushels of marketable corn pulled over
the scales this winter.
Maybe Gustafson didn't know Gould
waa present. Maybe the reet of tha farm
ers did not know, but Oould poped up un
expectedly to defend his figures and he
was granted tha privilege of the floor.
Merchantable Cora.
He walked back and took the pamphlet
from Gustafson's hands. Then he read
the report, which stated that of actually
merchantable corn there la only lfl.OOO.OOO
bushels,
'There," he said, addressing Oustafson
particularly. "That la even below your
own estimate, and yon ire accusing us of
making the estimate too high. If you
had put on your glasses you could have
read this correctly."
The matter of over-estimating crop re
ports waa threshed out as a side Issue,
coming up after C. J. Brand, chief of the
office of farm marketing of the United
States Department cf Agriculture, had
made his talk on marketing. He was
asked a hundred question and many of
them were concerning the accuracy of
the reports on volume of crop that are
published by the government.
finessed at Ftsjrsuros.
Charles Wooster of Sliver Creek de
clared the figures could be nothing
but the wildest kind of a guess. "I know."
he said, "because for aears I waa the
man who was charged with the duty of
furnishing the figures from my town
ship every year. They aent me a blank
form with long lists of questions to be
filled out They asked such questions
as "How many bushels of corn remain
unnhelled, In the cribs of the township?
It would have taken me a week to deter
mine anywhere near accurately that one
question alone, to aay nothing of the
hundred others equally difficult. So I
knew they expected nothing of me hut
a crude guess, and so I made that guess
with absolutely nothing at all to base It
upon."
Mr. Brand said If the farmers had sug
gestions to make as to methods of Im
proving the accuracy of the estimates, or
any other suggestions with good bottom
to them, tha department would be glad
to consider them.
Third Case in Row
Taken from Jury
in Federal Court
When the litigants In the suit of
Thomas J. Donahue against the Santa Fa
and Burlington railroads came to an
agreement for eettlement Wednesday In
the midst of the trial before a Jury, It
was the third consecutive case that haa
boen taken 'from a' Jury In federal court
before Judge T. C. Munger. Donohue
settled for SMI.
The- -case preceding this was Nelson
Fish against the Union Pacific for i,X
damages because of a shipment of twen
ty-six cars of cattle held up at North
Platte by the floods in 1911 This hinged
on a point of law, and In ths midst of
the case the Jury was sent out and tha
lawyers argued and made concessions
before the Judge. He now haa this casa
under advisement.
The case before this waa a 125,000 dam
age suit brought by Mrs. Elisabeth Mo
Coy against the Missouri Pacific railroad
for tha death of her son, a car Inspec
tor. After the plaintiff's evidence was

City Clerk O'Connor reports he has re
ceived M0 applications for saloon licenses
for 1H. With few exceptions these are

a short time as an axclaa board. Informal
consideration has been given to what has
been referred to as a saloon policy for

Practical Giving
The approach of the holidays
stimulates the spirit of Christmas
giving and. as always, there are
many people eafrer to help spread
good cheer without knowine just
how to do it
For these generous-hearted people
The Bee will again point out oppor
tunities for practical Christmas giv
ing that promises permanent results,
especially to helpless women and de
pendent children, by describing
worthy cases that have been investi
gated by the Associated Charities,
with the assurance that any help
received will really do the good in
tended. The Bee's suggestions for practi
cal Christmas giving should not in
terfere with any one being a
"good fellow" or a "big brother,"
cr furnishing some one a Christmas
dinner who otherwise might have to
put up with ordinary fare. This is
a big world in which to plant happi
ness and it is only a question of the
best way.
The cases for which this special
appeal will be made are now being
looked into by the Associated Charities.
