TO SURVEY The RAILROADS
County Surveyor to Make PlatS Showing
Every Line,
WORK TO BEGIN NEXT MONDAY MORNING
Three Men Expected TO he Engaged
on the Job for Four Months
Every Detail of Lines
to he shown.

Last evening Roy Towle returned from
a tour Of inspection Of the county made
preliminary to the survey for the purpose
Of securing exact information as to the
mileage Of the railroads in Douglas county.
Monday morning the surveying party, con-
sisting of three men, with Mr.. Towle In
charge, will start out on the work. Ac-
cording to the plans Of the county surveyor
the party will begin at the northwest cor
ner of the county. where the Union Pacific
railroad leaves the county line. The sur
vey will be run along the line OF that road
to where that line enters Sarpy county and
will be resumed where 1t again enters
Douglas county, this survey running to the
line of the city of South Omaha.
The party will then go to the northern
line Of the county and follow the Elkhorn
tracks to the line of the city OF Omaha. Mr..
Edquist says that he expects to survey all
lines Of road in the county outside Of the
cities Of Omaha and South Omaha before
beginning on the work on the city lines.
The surveyor will make his map in the
field, the scale to be 400 feet to the inch
on all lines OF track over the county, the
plat to show all cattle guards, all houses
OF every description connected with the
roads and all cuts and fills, SO that it will
be possible to determine the character Of
every mile Of road from the plat. Where
the plat is to show numerous sidetracks
and other details the scale will be enlarged
to 100 feet to the inch, to give an oppor-
tunity to get every detail on the plat. 1t
is expected that the work will take four
months.
As to Annual Extensions
after this work is DONE" said Mr.. Ed
quist, 1.-THE maps will only be relatively
correct, for there will be no way to tell
how much track has been constructed
after the completion of the plats. What
we should have is a law requiring the rail-
road companies to file with the county
clerk a plat of every piece of track built
by them, so that from this report we can
make our extensions on the official plats
and thus keep the plats up to date. In the
absence Of any such law l may ask the
commissioners to authorize me to make an
annual trip over the county, taking the
plats with me and placing upon them any
extensions which may be found. One of
the features of the plats will be a showing
as to the character and extent Of the
bridges of the companies. This is Intended
to give some idea of the relative cost Of
the structures"

An unforeseen dif1culty is confronting the
Nebraska Funeral Directors association, in

lege. They can't find a fresh cadaver TO be
used by the professor in his lecture on
Anatomy OF the organs and Cavity En-
balming," which is the first item on the
program Friday morning. The county
poor farm and all Of the hospitals have
been canvassed in vain and the Omaha
Medical college can do nothing to supply
the deficiency. The usual market price OF
$50 for a human body in good condition has
been raised to 500 and still there are no
takers. kilograms went yesterday to Lin
coin, st. Joseph and Des Moines, asking
the health boards Of these cities II they
had any subjects on sale.

N. P. Swanson, chairman Of the f~oraging

vantage by communicating with me-"
Prof. w. P. Hohenschuh's lecture yester-
day morning was on the subject, "Disinfec-
tants, Antiseptics and Deodorants." He
closed with a few hints on how a funeral
director should dress for a funeral, and
how he should conduct himself. Quiet,
u~nassuming dignity was urged. AS to dress,
a long black coat and a black tie were es-
sential.

Little Things Count.

fessor, how well a body may be prepared,
how we'll 1t may look or how handsome a
casket 1t may be in, one little break at a
funeral and all that is gone. 1t is the
little things that count. Not long ago I
attended a funeral and something came
up that required the attention of the d.
rector. He was nowhere in sight. I went
to look for him, and finally found him out
in front OF the house with his hands in his
pockets, chatting with a hack driver. Mean

In the afternoon the question bottle was
the center of attraction. 1t is a large,
wide-mouthed flask, originally used to con-
tain formaldehyde, but now pressed into
service to receive anonymous questions
~propounded by the members. The questions
pertain to almost everything connected with
the undertaking business. Here is a sample:
'Is 1t a violation Of the ethics Of the
craft to solicit business? For example: A
man is i'll with a disease that must end
life in-say twenty-four hours. Is 1t a
breach of propriety for me to call his
wife's attention to my stock of caskets,
trimmings, shrouds and the like?"

Growing Barley Crops

Barley isattraciing general attention in the valley of late, because the warm weather has set, ii growing more rap idly than ever before. and change IS noticeable almost from day 10 day. A liitle patch of barley in the heart Of town now has plants 2i inches high. while on the 2oO acres of wheat and barley south of town there are plants 2 inches in height. 4 specimen was brought in from Calexico last Sunday which measured 56 inches in height. While the barley ranges from small plants upward according 10 the time since seeding. wherever barley has been planted iu the valley II is making q splendid growth, now more rapid than ever before, and ii is believed that thousands of acres will produce from a ton and a half 10 two tons to the acre.
 There is a growing shortage of feed in the valley. and this will not be re- iieved until crops can be harvested. Meanwhile it will be necessary io bring ia from the outside consider able amount of grain hay prices re-

Railroad Depot
Nnsr

George MeCaulley came over from Flowingwcll Sunday. remaining over night, He reports that the crew on tho Southern Paeihc construction train which has been at work at Flowing well for some days, Is to put in depot and switch al Old Beach, this infor- mation being borne out by adviccs through other channels. The object of increasing the extent of switch room al Fiowingwell is 10 increase ac- commoda;ion for freight trains, which grade to Iris.
 Mir, McCaulley also reports that the Government has let the contract for carrying mail from Flowingwell to Imperial three times a week 10 an other person. and he feels a little un- certain regarding the future of his stage line. partly because of the re- moval of railroad station to Old Beach, and partly because of the loss of the uAal4 N1iAAAaNA. Il A4S NCAiAiaNN HAAA 20 into effect OH July l, and the car rier is 10 receive SSO month from the Government.
 The freigh;ers are greatly pleased with the change made by inc railroad 10 Old Beach. At present they must haul freight across three miles of sand, where teams must be doubled. On the new road they will nave but q quarter as long a haul over sand, greatly increasing the amount of bus mess that can be transacted.
 As 10 the prospects for a branch of the Sou, hern Pacific from Old Beach to Calexico through Imperial, nothing new has been learned at this writing. The report that J. A. Muir has resigned his position with the Southern Pacific road to take place with Fl. F.. Hunt ingtom's electric line system will probably make no change in the plan a his report on the Imperial road Is in ille hands of his superior officials in the Southern Pacific company. There IS regret a, his change here, however. as 1t isiel, that Mir. Muir was particu- larly fav orable to the building of the Imperial valley spur.

Gus voices of the cataract, Pembroke knew
what was to be his final portion. = q --.
There was, at some distance above the
great falls, spot where descent was pos
sible to the edge of the water. Pembreke's
feet were loosened and he was compelled to
descend the narrow path A canoe was
tethered at the shore, and the face Of the
young Englishman went. pale as he realize
what was to be the use assigned it. Bound
again hand and foot. helpless, he was
cast into this canoe. A strong arm sent the
tiny craft out toward midstream.
The hands of the great waters graSped
the frail cockleshell, twisted 1t about, toss
ed 1t, played with 1t, and claimed 1t ir-
revocably for their own. For few mo-
ments it was visible as 1t passed on down
with the resistless current of the mighty
stream. Almost at-the verge Of the plunge
the eyes watching from the shore saw at
distance the struggle made by the victim.
He half raised himself in the boat and
threw himself against its side. 1t was
oyerset. For one, instant the cold sun
shone glistening on the wet bark Of the up
turned craft. 1t was but moment. and
then there was no dot upon the solemn
flood.
