ERICSON CITIZENS
WILL PROTECT FISH
form Association to Enforce
Iaw Specifying Number of
Pinny Tribe That May Be
Taken From Lake.
i
(From SUft Correspondent.)
Lincoln, : Aujr. 29. (Special.)
Citizens . of Ericsori have become
weary of seeing hunters and fishers
come to their little city, go over to
the lake they have made and pull out
good fish, more than the law allows
.and hike out without paying a fine.
Consequently under the direction of
Game Warden Koester, they have
formed an association and woe be to
the fisherman from now on who
catches more than the law permits.
The president of the association is
J. T. N. Doran, a local banker; vice
president, Carl Michner; secretary,
Frank Van Horn; treasurer, Dr. E. R.
Keen, with Gus Travis and Ed Men
ter, special wardens. R. A. Emery
is the justice of the peace before
whom offenders will have to go.
Lake Ericson is a beautiful lake
made by a dam in the Cedar river
and a number of cottages have been
built on its shores. The lak has
been well stocked with game- fish.
The residents like to have people
come and fish, but they do object to
any individual taking away more than
the law permits. y

Nebraskan's Difficulties
Don't "Go" in Missouri
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 29. (Special.)
D. O. Nelson of Frontier county
went to Missouri last week and has
been shown. Mr. Nelson was unable
to obtain a metal automobile plate
from the secretary of state of Ne
braska before leaving and so attached
a cardboard number to the rear of
his car.
When he reached Platte City in
Missouri the minions of the law .took
him in for not having a legal num
ber and he was fined $104.50. The
county clerk of Frontier county has
written Secretary of tSate Pool and
the latter will take the matter up
with the Missouri officials explaining
that Mr. Nelson is not at fault, be
cause has no legal plate as the gov
ernment has called for all the steel
the factory can turn out and the mak
ing of auto plates has been delayed.
Mr. Nelson had a receipt showing he
had applied for his plate and paid his
license fee, but the hard hearted Mis
sourians could see nothing in that
worthy of commendation.

Lincoln Men Acquire
Large Tract in Bolivia
The La Americana syndicate,
headed by C. Dunbar Smith, is now
making arrangements to acquire sev
eral large blocks of land in Bolivia,
South America, a region that is fast
forging to the front as an agricultural
and stock grazing country.
Bolivia, located in almost the cen
ter of South merica, is as large as
the entire United States east of the
Mississippi river, exclusive of the New
England states, half of whose area is
said to be susceptible to cultivation.
Few sections of the world have been
endowed by nature with greater gifts.
In minerals the western portion of
the country will challenge any other
region in the world, where there is
found practically every mineral of
value, either to commerce or science.
The hill above Potosi has produced
more than $3,600,000,000 m silver
alone.
Bolivia is also rapidly becoming the
world's greatest tin producer. Skirt
ing the Andes in eastern Bolivia is
what is believed to be the greatest
undeveloped oil region in the world.
Samples of petroleum taken from the
oil springs in this region have shown
high tests.
Among tin plants native to Bolivia
and found growing wild are species
of wheat, barley, rice, corn, beans, po
tatoes (white and sweet), peanuts,
sugar cane, cocoa, coffee, bananas,
cotton and many others, including
many plants valuable for their medici
nal qualities.
The forests of Bolivia contain more
than 1,000 different varieties of
woods, suitable for every purpose for
which wood is used. Although it is
little known, some of the verv finest
rubbers come from northern Bolivia.
At least six varieties of mahogany
are knoVn to grow there.
La Americana syndicate is now ar
ranging to acquire several millions of
acres of this land, both from private
parties and the Bolivian government,
some of which adjoins the northern
Argentine border, where develop
ments will soon be started prepara
tory to this expected immigration.
There is now interested in this proj
ect people from nearly every state in
the union as well as from Canada,
Alaska, Australia and Hawaii.
