OUTLOOK FOR NEBRASKA CROPS
All Cereals Promise better Than
Ever In the states History.

Most extraordinary crop conditions pre-.
vail in Nebm ska. The state board of ag-
liculture has been receiving statistics dur
ing the past ten days from each county
showing the acreage of all als,progress
of the work, condition of winter wheat,
and comparison of all cereals with acre
age of 1897. The replies are very COM
plete. Each branch of agriculture is touch
ed upon. In substance the reports agree
that the crop of winter wheat, according
to acreage in sight, is almost onethird
heavier than last years big acreage. There
is greater percentage Of spring wheat.
because much more was put in this
spring after the war became imminent,
and wheat took such shoot upward. The
same theory accounts for the extraordin-
AIRY increase in the corn acreage. About
one fourth more acres will be put in corn
than last year. Last year was record
breaker for cereal acreage in Nebraska
therefore the increase this year brings the
average way above anything of the kind
in the states history. Other grain is in
similar proportion. Nearly all corn has
been put in. Winter wheat is in fine con.
dition. This is because Of the favorable
winter and wet spring. The fields look
much better than usual at this time of the
year.

IT WAS NAMED FOR SIGSBEE
Deepest Valley I'm the Gulf of Mex.
leo Discovered by Him.

The deepest valley in the Gulf of Mex
leo is named "Sigsbee's Deep after its
discoverer, and the scientific name OF
Sigsbee murrhina is given to one OF the
r,,rest species of deep-sea fauna. 1t was
Sirsbee. too, who discovered near the
MORO light. not far from the spot where
the Maine now lies, many beautiful spec
linens of the pentacrini, or sea lilies, and
who, while in command of the Blake,
placed at the disposal of scientific inves-
tiyators the first extensive collection OF
this ancient genus.
Thus has Captain Sigsbee associated
his name with the harbor of Havana,
both by scientific Investigations and by
exhibition of the highest qualities of
command. We have the authority OF
Professor Alexander Agassiz for saying
that the success of the scientific party
on the Blake was largely due, not only
to Captain Sig,bee's capacity as a COM
mander. and to his active interest in
scientific investigation, but to the nu'
merous improvements in the apparatus
for deep-sea dredging and sounding
originate ting with him.-New York indie

NICARAGUA CANAL PROJECT
The Great Waterway to Unite the
Atlantic and Pacific.

New York May PA dispatch, to the
World from Washington says:
Congress will soon be called upon to de-
eide the question Of building a canal con
Meeting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Chairman Davis of the senate foreign re-
lations committee said:
The need for action between the At
lantic and Pacific can not be questioned.
Our interests demand it. With canal
between the two oceans we would have
nothing to fear from an attack on our
Pacific coast. AS il is it would take us W
DAYS to send our fleet around the Horn to
the Pacific coast cities. With the canal
we could diSpach men-ofwar to San Fran
cisco from New York in 1t days. With
liberal appropriation-say Sloo,ooo,ooo
a canal could be constructed through
Nicaragua that would be of great value
TO this government for all time to come,
"The Maritime Canal Company, which Is
cndeavorng to sell its interests to the
Government, started the canal some time
AGO and considerable work was done, but
the hard times of 1929 came along and
struck a death blow to the enterprise
This company succeeded in getting certain
concessions. which it still retains. and 1t
i hut right that the United States should
buy these concessions and pay the canal

A RECElVERsHIP COMEDY.

a comical and yet exasperatng exam
pie of the doings of receivers is afforded
by the work of the receiver of dead
newspaper in Boston. The paper, which
never paid expenses. and whose life was
deservedly brief, left behind it liabilities
of $4,000. The receiver reports that he
has collected $1,000, paid himself $1,000, his
clerks 1880 and his lawyers $500. He
says the rest of the assets are almost
worthless and that he has In hand one
dollar and five cents.
This is joke for the receiver and the
public and a grim reflection for the cred
itors. So far as they are concerned the
whole business might as we'll have been
let alone and no receiver appointed. When
the power of the courts Is used to collect
money for creditors and nearly every
cent of 1t goes to pay the compensation
and expenses of the receiver there Is need
of Improvement in judicial methods.

THE COPPER ACE.
A Timing Man On inc Future of
 inc Metal.

MT. c. M. Shannon of Clifton, who was in town recently, is the owner of one of the most valuable copper prop ereies in the territory. It's develop ment> has been retarded by the want of an outlet. The gulch from Metcalf where the mine is located, to Clifton is occupied by the baby gauge" road of the Arizona Copper company. That scenic line takes up practically the whole of the gulch.
 Speaking of the prospect of copper, MT. Shannon said this is the true cop per age. The price of the metal is now satisfactorily high and he believes it will go considerably higher before it falls lower. There was never before so much copper used as there is now. Nearly every small town of not less than 2,000 in the east, either has an electric lighting system or is about to put one in. Hundreds of towns in thickly settled districts are being con- nected by trolley lines. The use of copper for wire alone will be extended yearly without any limit as to time, so that after awhile the mining districts now in operation will be unable to meet the demand. It is true that the mines now being worked in this terri tory constitute but a drop in the bucket of the copper region in Ari- ZOna
