issouH Breaks Into Florence
Lake--Farmers Work Fev
erishly to Check Rising
Waters.
The Missouri river broke into
Florence lake Sunday midnight and
is threatening farm lands in the
Nwth Omaha bottoms.
Farmers worked feverishly all day
Sunday in an attempt to check the
rising flood waters of the Big Muddy.
They abandoned their efforts to
throw up bulwarks in low places
when the swift currents of the river
broke through a dike near the mouth
of Willow creek.
H. Millman, Julius Molnar and
other farmers living in the bottoms
have been working the last three
days building stone dikes as a pre
caution against the steadily rising
waters of the river.
Breaks Into Lake.
In the last 10 hours the flood
waters of Florence lake have risen
two feet, according to Mr. Millman,
who' lives on high land east of the
lake.
"The water broke into Florence
lake Sunday night. It is continually
rising and is threatening all the farm
lands south and east of it." he said.
Mr. Molnar said he and three
other farmers worked feverishly
til the river broke through the
rudely constructed dikes.
Waters Seep Through.
The river has been threatening
I
for the last week." he said. "Wc
J built several dikes in the low spots
f but the flood waters seeped through.
'Yesterday the strongest dike we con
structed broke."
The flood waters are just one-half
block from Mr. Molnar's corn crib,
he said. ,
Mrs. G. H. Harris, living near
Florence lake, reported the water
slowly rising and Willow creek com
pletely inundated.
The rising Waters have not yet
covered the area that was inundated
a year ago by the flood.
Farmers are throwing up tem
porary dikes about their lands to
protect their crops from the waters.

Washington, June 27. Defeat of
the pending legislation will mean a
coal famine next winter worse than
ever experienced before, Senator

of, the seasonal freight rate bill and
the companion coal stabilization
measure, asserted today. The senate
will continue discussion of the sea

drastic later. .
"For the past week two bills in
troduced by me have been before the
senate," said Senator Frelinghuysen.
"They will again come up for con
sideration tomorrow. As this -is a
supremely important question in
volving the happiness, the health, in
deed, the very life of the public, the
country should understand what the
light means, it tnese dhis arc uc
feated, a tragedy next fall and win
ter in the naturei of a coal famine
worse than ever experienced before
is inevitable. The fact is, owing to
existing conditions, I doubt if this
tragedy can be averted. But we can

Prospect for
Bumper Crops
Much Reduced
Weather and Crop News Most
Essential Factors in Grain
Markets Last Week; Slow
Business in General.
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
t'hlraco Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaned Wire.
I Chicago, June 27. Weather and
I crop news were the most essential
I factors in the grain markets last
i week, but their effect in enhancing
values was greatly reduced by the
i light outside trading. Many of the
j professionals were inclined to the
! constructive side of the market for a
j considerable part of the week, only
to unload at the last. A number of
j the commission men, as well as the
j professionals, have pronounced con
structive opinions as to wheat values,
and expect to see them hold between
$1.25 and $1.50 for some time to
come. There are also a few who
are emphatic in their opinions and
predict much higher prices. -
There is an unusual amount of ma
terial on which to base a construc
tive position. Crop prospects in the
United States have been materially
cut down. The Kansas crop which
in May promised 136,000,000 bushels,
or the same as last year, is estimated
by the June report of the Kansas de
partment of agriculture issued on
Friday at 113,000,000 bushels, or 23,
000,000 bushels short of last year.
Oklahoma has a wet harvest and
some of the wheat remains uncut.
Taking the winter wheat crop in all,
it will mostly be cut by the fourth of
July, and with good weather possibly
before. Very little threshing has
been done, and scattered reports in
dicate disappointing yields.
Spring wheat in the northwest is
spotted and has lost its bumper
prospects. There is some black rust
in South Dakota, but as the crop is
well advanced, it is doubtful whether
there is serious damage. s
There is drouth in the Don and
Volga districts of Russia, which are
important wheat sections. France is
suffering from drouth, and the oat
crop there is expected to be affected
more than wheat. Argentina needs
rajns, and-has 76,000,000 bushels of
wheat to export.
Estimates made by New York
exporters are that European import
ing countries will need to import
575,000,000 to 600,000,000 bushels the
coming season, or about the same
as for that just closing. This has
an important effect on views oi those
who are friendly to higher prices.
With Russia out of the export line,
and with no surplus, the world-over
consumption of the new crop will Be
started almost as soon as it is har
vested. Considering the financial and busi
ness conditions, the slow business in
general, with the public mind look
ing for deflation rather than inflation
of values, it is well to stop and
weigh the main constructive and de
pressing" factors. Ordinarily during
recent years of war inflation the
present wheat situation would invite
heavy speculative buying and higher
prices. Under existing conditions
traders who weigh all important fac
tors on both sides of the market say
that it is best to allow a discount of
50 to 75 per cent in the effectiveness
of present influences on values on
the constructive side. In other
words, when one stops to consider all
the strengthening influences, it is
best to take into account this point.
There are enough bullish factors to
make an advance of 25 to 50 cents a
bushel in wheat under conditions
prevailing the last few years, but at
present an advance of around 25 per
cent is about all the market is en
titled to until business and financial
conditions improve and speculative
buying enlarges.

Strange White Bird
Puzzles Experts at
Aurora This Season
Aurora, Neb., June 27. (Special.)
A strange bird has come to town.
The folks are all looking at him
curiously and the other birds that
flock into this community regard
him with suspicion. None of them
will associate with him.
With every feather snow white and
with pink eyes and bright yellow bill
and legs, this new bird is the won
der of town. He lives in the mul
berry tree at the home of Frank
Johnson. Some people say he is
nothing but a white black-bird,
while others say that he is an albine
robin.. He is too small to be a
blackbird and he does not resemble
a robin greatly. He has little to
Lay and is busy making a living and
keeping out of the way of irate blue
jays, robbins and blackbirds that
have little or no patience with a bird
who wears a white suit every day in
the week.
If he would only sing a little or
chirp the local experts in ornithology
would be able to hazard a guess as
to what species the stranger belongs.
But so far, he has minded his own
business and has let out neither song
nor chirp.

"Bob." the English bulldog who
is claimed by two men, may be al
lowed to choose his master wV.n
the case to determine who owns
. ... !...! I
him is neara in municipal mun
July 5. .
This means of determining owner
ship was suggested to Municipal
Judge Holmes, who admitted it
sounded practical.
'Tt wnnM he sort of rcversine the
Solomon method," said Judge
Holmes. "We could station the ri-
val masters on opposite sides of the
rnnrt rnnm. nlace 'Bob in the mid
dle and see which one he went to.
"Then again, we might try tne
regular Solomon method offer to
cive each would-be owner half of
the dog."
Court Must Decide.
"Bob" is claimed by Edward C.
Haynes, 2569 Madison street, and Ted
La Rue, Carlton hotel. The two
men and their wives attempted to
settle the matter at Central' police
station Saturday, but failing, agreed
to leave it to municipal court. "Bob"
was placed in care of C. E. McClain,
superintendent of the Humane so
ciety dog pound.
The thought of "Bob" being in with
common dogs at the dog pound must
have been unpleasant, however, for
late Saturday night Mr. Haynes ob
tained a writ of replevin from
Municipal Judge Patrick, and with
the aid of Constable George G. Mc
Bride rescued the dog, from the
pound.
Constable Scornful
"I can't see why they make such
a fuss about that dog," complained
Constable "McBride. "When I went
in to get him he growled at me and
tried to show his teeth. But say
that dog hasn't got any teeth left.
"This LaRue fellow says the ca
nine is trained to jump through
burning hoops and things and that
he is insured for $1,200. Why, that
dog couldn't jump a foot in the air.
They almost had to lift him into Mr.
Haynes' automobile."
The writ read as follows: "One
English bulldog named 'Bob.' Color,
yellow and white, with harness and
spiked collar."
"I got the harnessi and every
thing," said the constable proudly.
"It's probably worth more than the
dog."
The wives of the rival masters
showed great fondness for "Bob"
Saturday, however, and declared
they would go the limit to keep him.

. Wading in Platte
Ogallala, Neb., June 27. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Carl Lance of
Grant, Neb., drowned in the Platte
river while he and his wife and two
other families were wading west ot
Ogallala. Lance stepped in a hole
and a strong under current pulled
him down. One man grabbed him
but was unable to hold fast, The
other man was unable to swim.
Lance sunk out of sight as he
grasped a willow branch in full view
of his wife and others. Immediate
search for the body was started,
continuing until dark with no avail.
The river is almost normal, but ex
ceedingly swift and full of very deep
holes, which makes search difficult
and dangerous. Due to the very
muddy water and brush in the river,
it is doubtful if the body will be
found soon.
Lance is survived by his wife and
baby. He was a son of Charley
Lance of Grant, Neb.
