Stock-Raisinq In Nebraska.

Nebraska is great livestock producing
state. Out on the ranges, which skirt
the Rocky, Wind River and Wasatch
mountains, the true western steer is in
his element, and there it is that he was
brought in his youth largely from Oregon
and Washington, or perhaps, from the
vast ranges of the Lone Star state. While
there are a good many calves produced on
these ranges, the majority of them are
shipped in when one and two years old
But it is down on the ranges of western
Nebraska where the cattle raising indus
try is at it's BEST Here cattle Cannot
alone be fattened for the market. but
can be raised with profit from the mother

Nebraska is not alone able to put cattle
in good shape on the ranges, but produces
all the corn necessary to finish them
for the market. Nebraska is doubly
blessed. 1t raises some of the greatest
corn crops in the world, and places in
the market the finest beef in the world.

He wanted only the best, and none other

to Nebraska where he was shown what
Nebraska grass and Nebraska corn would
do in the way of making beef palatable.
The result was that he entered into a
contract with a packing institution at

parts flowing wells are obtained by
simply driving a pipe down into the

+ All qualities of land may be- found here
from the very good farm land and nay

cipally used for grazing. We have plenty
of good hay land adjacent to the cheaper
grazing land, so that desirable ranches
and stock farms may be obtained at COM

The principal hay country lies in the Elk

it. Between these valleys lies the cheap
grazing land, over which Craze thousands

NEBRASKA; THE GREAT p.
{ FRUIT AND DAIRYSTATE.
REGARDED AS THE "QUEEN
OF THE WEST"
Resources of the Country Are So Far
Undeveloped That the Land Is
Cheap in Price-A Great
Future.

Notwithstanding all that has been said,
written and printed about Nebraska, it is
still true that the great majority of people
in the east entertain erroneous ideas Of
this "Queen of the West
Those who come expecting to plunge
into desert of sage brush and sand al
most as soon as they cross the Missouri
river have a pleasant surprise in store
for them. AS the train crosses the state,
The eye is greeted by scene as beauti-
full as it is unexpected. Comfortable
homes, fine farms, groves, orchards, gar
dens pastures, herds of grazing cattle and
winding streams are the features of the
country that are seen for nearly 300 miles
west Of the Missouri river, until the graz
Ing country is reached. - .-s'-
It may seem strange to some that the
price of land is so low In such a desira-
BILE region. The only explanation known
is that the resources of the country are so
great and SO diversified that it has taken
q long time to develop it. Almost every
year some new industry is introduced, and
people marvel at its wonderful success.
The development of these new Industries
is constantly adding to the price of real
estate, and land will soon be as high as
in the eastern states. There is not room
enough in this article to give an idea Of
half the advantages to be found but be-
1ieving that everyone who is seeking a
new home will be interested in the topog-
raphy, soil, climate and resources of this
section, the information desired is given
in plain, practical, truthful way. Every
material statement made herein will bear
the closest investigation.
Geographically, the country is just roll
ing enough to be pleasing to the eye and
give it good drainage, but not broken
enough to interfere with farm work. In
many places a furrow can be plowed
across an entire section without break.
The familiar term, rolling PRAIRIE" is
we'll applied to this section, for the land
rises and falls in such gentle swells that
it reminds one of the oceans pillows. In
terspersed with these long stretches of
rolling prairie are beautiful table-lands
and valleys. The natural timber of the
country is restricted to the narrow fringes
bordering the streams in these valleys,
the courses of which can be traced as far
as the eye can reach, as they wind and
twist through the broad meadow lands.
There are no swamps or sloughs, and the
lands along the streams are tillable to the
very waters edge. From observation and
the best authority it appears that these:
lands should be divided as follows: Bot
tom lands or valleys, about II per cent;
table-land, "a per cent; rolling prairie, 30
per cent and bluffs, 8 per cent.

The best thing possible is being done,
however, by the erection of hospitals
for the care Of those suffering with
consumption, and there is now a better
understanding of the treatment Of the
disease than ever. Out-of-door exer-
else is one method, but the contagious
character OF tuberculosis makes it nee
essary to isolate the sufferers. Hospi-
tails are being built everywhere, and in
this way-while there may not be the
number of actual cures desired-there
is yet to be considered that many per-

The Coal Hearing Farce.

Congress having made a liberal APP
preparation for the pay and expense OF
the coal strike commission. nobody but
the altruistic expected that the COM
missioners would hurry through with
their task 1t is to be noticed that no
matter how great" a man is, he
usually has in him enough of the irail-
ty of common mortals to look with sor-
row upon the passing away of fine
graft. Our dispatches yesterday
brought the news that the hearing Of
testimony before the commission is
nearly at an end, and that arguments
will begin shortly. Presumably, the
lawyers will finish talking by mid
Summer. and by that time the strike
and its causes will have been forgotten
by the public-unless, indeed, a new
strike takes place in the meantime.
The organization of the strike COM
mission served an excellent purpose.
BY this device President Roosevelt was
enabled TO avert a national calamity,
and save thousands of miners and

this winter, and this alone abundantly
justified the appointment of the COM
mission. But if anything else has been
accomplished a weary public has not
been appraised. The commission was
supposed to investigate the situation
in the anthracite coal fields, arrive at
and arrange an understanding between
the operators and the miners. and
provide some sort OF a safeguard
against strike in the future. Neces-
sarily, the commissioners were free to
go about this task in their own way.
In reality. there was little to be learned
which they could not have ascertained
in forty-eigkt hours. Provided, as they

But instead OF this, months have
dragged by while the commission has

The Use OF OIL in Smelling Ores.

The development of the oil industry
has proved very beneficial to California
which. possessing no coal fields of her
own. has always been dependent upon
Australia, Wyoming, Vancouver and
Japan for her supply o: the fuel en-
ployed in manufacturing and smelling.
In its application to smelling the use
of crude oil IS a comparatively new de-
parture. At the Selby works Mr.. AL
fred Won der ROpp has been very sue
cessful in this direction" declares the
Engineering and Mining Journal. He
finds that a mating furnace, which
ordinarily requires one ton OF coal fer
every 31s tons of ore, will smelt 4 ton
of ore per barrel of oil, so that 3lA bar
rel3 Of oil are the smelling equivalent
of one ton OF coal, in q locality where
coal costs Sc per ton and fuel oil 50
cents 4 barrel. Under present condi-
tons the use OF oil means an economy
of so per cent. Besides this economy OF
first cost. the oil fuel has also been
found advantageous because the oxi-
di2ing atmosphere of a roasting fur
mace can be maintained without those
Interruptions which take place when
fresh coal is added Interruptions
which are accompanied by the intro
duction of reducing gases which tenn
porarily cause the process of oxidation
TO remain at standstill. Moreover, It
is possible with oil. by regulating the
air inlet of the furnace. to control the
smelling atmosphere so as to obtain
oxidizing or reducing conditions. as the
metallurgist may desire. The ability
to increase the temperature of d metal
lurgical operation with notable ease is
another good feature. 1t is an inter-
esting example of adaptation to CON
ditions. and the readiness with which
it has been used is typical of that pro-
gressiveness which characte.izes the

Massachusetts and Corporations.

While some legislatures, including
our own territorial statesmen are
considering how to best restrict
the organization of corporations
and mark the limit of their opera
ton, other legislatures are taking
an opposite course and trying TO frame
statutes which will be more inviting to
investors. 1t is Of curious interest to
note the divergent views held in differ
ent parts Of the country. Massachu-
sets, for instance, is one of the states
which have suffered financially from

been driven to do business elsewhere,
and it is now proposed to take an ad-
vanced step in the other direction. Az
