city is in receipt OF an order for 100000
worth of canned goods and meats for the
Alaska trade This order comes from the
Northwestern Transportation and Trading
company, Of which Captain j. j. Healy Is
general manager When Captain Hoaly was
in this city some months ago he stated to
Bee representative that meats packed at
South Omaha seemed to keep much better
in Alaska than those purchased at other
packing centers, and it is probably for this
reason that this large order was given to
one of the local packers.
Arrangements are now being made for
the packing and shipping Of the products
ordered 1t is estimated that it will take
several special trains to carry the product
to the Pacific coast, where 1t will be trans
ferred to a ship. As each special train
leaves this city for the coast It will be
handsomely decorated with flags and ban
rers in order to advertise the packing in
dustry OF South Omaha and also the com
pany filling the order. Some Of the most
important items in this order are 100000
cans of canned meats, 100000 pounds of
smoked meats, $4,000 pounds Of lard 5000
two pound Jars of beef extract and 5000
boxes OF Diamond soap. This is under

Interest in the High school.

Members of the Commercial club are be-
ginning to take an interest in the proposed
new High school building, and 1t is more
than likely that the matter will be dis
cussed at the next meeting of the club.
Those who favor the voting of bonds for
the purchase of site and the erection of
a High school building are of the opinion
that 100000 should be voted in order to
erect a commodious and modern structure.
A site, centrally located, will cost about
twice as much as 1t would have three years
ago on account of the rapid rise in values
here. When the High school bond question
was up before 1t was estimated that a suit
able site could be secured for about $4,000,
but now from $4,000 to 100000 will be
needed to secure ground for the proposed
building.
