LINCOLN, July 12.-(Special.)- = book OF
200 or more pages, descriptive OF the re-
sources and growth Of Nebraska, will soon
be issued by the State Bureau Of Labor
and Industrial statistics. 1t is said that
this book will contain more Information
for the homeseeker than any publication
ever printed In the state. II will include
crop statistics for several years past, with
the best figures that can be obtained rela-
tive to this years harvest; an elaborate
geographical description OF the state; a
description Of the land ranges In the vari-
Gus counties; the prices OF all kinds OF
real estate in the different sections; local
financial, Industrial, social, political and
agricultural statistics for the different
counties; a treatise on the irrigation work
Of the state; a chapter on the productive
ness Of the soil, and besides all this con-
siderable space will be devoted to an ex-
position of the opportunities held out by
the state in all lines Of work and invest
ment. The idea Of the compilers Of this
book is to have It contain enough accurate
information to induce any nonresident
reading II to remove at once to the state.
The information is being compiled and
edited by r. A. Hodge, chief clerk in the
Bureau Of Statistics. Mr.. Hodge has al
ready gathered an abundance Of statistics
and other information from reliable and
authoritative sources and is preparing
them for presentation in the most attrac-
tive form.
One feature Of the book will show the
almost incredible advance in land values
during the past fifteen years and the In
crease in the livestock population OF the
state. Another showing, and one which
reflects in a way the great profits of the
farmer and stock raiser, is In the advance
in the prices of cattle and swine.
Mr.. Hodge expects to have the copy for
this book in the hands Of the printer by
August /. It will contain, besides all Of the
descriptive material, several hundred small
cuts illustrative of the farm and business
life OF the state.
The Omaha school district has appealed

regular turn on the docket, and will be
