Mr.. Warner Stutlcr, Superintendent of
Street Cleaning, has been in correspond
ence with the company for several weeks,
and 1t is at his invitation that they are
to exhibit their method OF flushing streets
before the authorities Of the District. 1t
appears that the new system has been in
use in st Louis for more than year, and
is claimed to be the twentieth century
idea Of cleaning streets.
Washing of Streets.
In describing, the method used. Mr..
Stutler said yesterday: The new system
Is nothing more or less than an ohs5lute
washing Of the streets instead of the
usual sweeping. The machines employed
resemble the customary barrel tank street
sprinklers. BY means Of compressed air
the water is forced from these wagons at
a pressure of more than 0 pounds.
The nozzle is pointed toward the curb.
The machines form a procession, one
closely following the other. the trailcrs
being arranged nearer and nearer the
curb. In most cases three OF the machines
will cover the ordinary street.
In wider thoroughfares more machines
would necessarily he employed to force
all the filth TO the gutter. where gang
OF hand men would be employed in
throwing ii into carts and hauling it
away. The remarkable feature OF the sys-
tenn is the claim that il reduces the cost
from one-half to two-thirds.'

Weather Bureau Tells How weil-Condi-
toned They Are.
Crop prospects in Nebraska continue
iattering, according to the weekly
bulletin issued Tuesday by Director
Loveland OF the United States weather
bureau. department of agriculture.
Heavy rains have done some damage in
the southeastern section. but the gen.
eral result has been beneficial to crops.
In summarizing the situation. based on
returns from all the counties. the bull
letin says:
The past week has been warm and
wet. The daily mean temperature has
averaged | degree above normal In the
eastern counties and 4 degrees above in
western.
The rainfall has been very heavy in
the central and eastern counties and
light In western. The rainfall exceed
ed an inch in most of the eastern part
of the state and ranged from 3 to 8
inches over a large area in the south
eastern part of the state.
The heavy rains of the past week
have injured crops somewhat on low
and on rolling land. but on the whole
have been exceedingly favorable for
the general crOp outlook in the state.
Corn has been washed Il some and
I'm a few instances wheat and oats have
been lodged some by the wind. hail
and rain. Winter wheat is filling well
and continues to improve in condition.
Oats have materially improved during
the past week, and in some localities
are making a rank growth and promise
n full crop. Corn cultivation has been
delayed: cultivation, however. had
made such good progress just preceding
the rains that few fields are weedy:
very little ~replanting of corn has been
necessary. Grass has grown well. Po-
tatoes continue in fine condition and
the early planted are large enough to
eat. The first crop Of alfalfa is being
cut and was somewhat damaged by the
rains of the week.

The Iowa and Nebraska Coal COM
pany completed its fifth hole in the
coal lands Of Dakota county. Nebraska.

convinces the drillers hat the vein
extends through large territory. and
the first steps have been taken to sink
a MA shaft in No. 5, to carry on a
mine. The company promises opera

An Feat.

A remarkable test of the staying
qualities Of the automobile was made
In Lincoln a few days ago by Mr., Otto
Whitman of the automobile INN of
The Whitman company. While Mr..
whitman was out trying the new gasJ-
line carriage just received he per-
formed the wonderful feat Of climbing
Belmont hill at a speed of fourteen
miles per hour with -four passengers.
This performance is considered very
remarkable on account of the hill be-
ing long and very steep and the auto
mobile Is made for two passengers
only.
