shows the same land producing valuable
crop Of bean poles; Two Years After Goat
ing shows a lawn suitable for golf links.
The omnivorous appetite of Angoras is de-
scribed in a way that led me to hope they
might even effect saving in blasting pow

hereabouts.

Il inclosed the flock with fence highly
recommended to me by a steel and wire

may be a trust and should be investigated.
The goats began by thrusting their heads
through the upper part of the fence,
where they hung by their horns. When
tired of this they went through under and
over the fence.

WHY RENTS HArE COVE Up.


Complaints are frequently heard about
the rise in rents which has taken place
within the past two years in Omaha,
Notwithstanding the fact that money is
abundant at comparatively low rates Of
interest. People who complain about
the advance in rents seem, however, to
be oblivious of the marked increase that
has taken place in the price of building
materials and the cost of labor within
the past few years.
While it is true that house rent is
largely governed by the laws of supply
and demand, just the same as the price
of any other commodity, the ground
work on which rents are based is the
price of real estate and the cost of con-
struction. This is illustrated by the fol-
lowing comparative figures of wages i'll

ENGINEER KENNY SAYS:
"D0M'T Be ALARMED "
Committee in Charge Of Work of Sc
curing Water Agreements Is
Urged to Continue.

The government engineers do not
put any credence in the recent re-
port from Washington which states
that the secretary of the interior will
not approve the Tietan and Okanogan
projects. They have not been in
formed of any such decision on the
secretary's part, and are prone to
place any confidence in the report.
The constant advice of the engi-
neers is for the committee who has
charge of the work of securing sigma
lures to the government water agree
ments not to relax in their efforts
1t must not be lost sight Of that first
of all the most important thing to be
accomplished is the settlement of wa
ter rights among the users in the val
ley. The general impression to be
gathered from the engineers is OF an
encouraging nature with reference to
the Tietan project. Supervising En-
gineer Henney, who was in Roy,
Washington. on government business,
sent the following telegram to his
associate here, Mr.. Jacobs:

one of the pioneers of the valley.
Mrs. Reed has been in failing

death. while not unexpected in view
of her long illness and the nature of

SCHOOL PATRONS ENJOY
AN INTERESTING MEETING
Some Splendid Talks Made by Prom.
inent Citizens Along Edu-
catiOnaI Lines.

The public educational meeting
held Friday evening in the high
school was highly interesting. While
there was not large attendance, the
subjects were handled in an enter
tanning manner by all the speakers,
and there was general expression
of those present of their intention OF
attending regularly the future meet
ings Of the association.
The chairman, B. F. Barge. made
a few appropriate remarks, expIana-
tory of the general purpose of the
meeting. As before announced, the
subject of the meeting was School

Mr.. J. o. Gull was the first speak
err. This Is movement in the right
direction. and ought to bring the in
terests OF the school closer to the peo-
pie, and lead them to become ac-
lquainted with the needs of the school
and with Its aim and work. The i'm
portance of general education for
the citizen Is expressed by the will
1ingness with which the people pay
their school taxes, and by the large
endowments that have been made to
the founding and enlarging of great
educational institutions. Most people
have an interest In schools because
OF their relation to civic life and lib
critics. We know our advancement at
home and our rank among nations
depends on breadth and thorough
ness OF our education. It Is our ac-
tive interest that counts for the most
in educational progress We have
been too busy with our social and
business obligations: we need q bet
ter acquaintance with the teacher and
her methods, so that an active inter-
est may be created.
Mr.. Gull gave many practical and
helpful hints on how the desired
ends may he attained. He was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Cannon. who gave Z
clear and fOrcible presentation OF
what the home can do to foster and
increase the child's interest In the

no pipe dream, either.

OVERCOATS
FROM FRISCO
A NEW IMPORTING INDUSTRY
ABOUT WHICH THE U. S. DIS
TRICT ATTORNEY is sCEPTICAL

Information having reached U. S.
District Attorney Breckons that a Jap
| anese on River street had been doing a
thriving trade in army overcoats, he
went down there this morning accom-
panied by u. S. Marshal Hendry and
found that the enterprising Jap had
thirty-seven coats bearing the stamp
of your Uncle Samuel. They were un-
doubtedly sold by hard-up soldiers from
the last transport that passed through
but the jap blandly explained that he
had had them shipped down from San
Francisco. Shipping overcoats from
San Francisco to Hawaii may be
new industry but the District Attorney
was sceptical. He ordered their seiz-
ure.
1T does not make any difference
whether a soldier owns his overcoat or
not" he explained. 1T IS not within
the province of any one other than a
soldier to own it. 1 suppose that il it
is a mans own property he may sell
it but the man who buys it has no right
to do so. The idea is no doubt that
soldiers must be i'm a position to keep
themselves i'm proper condition at all
times and therefore require their heavy
coats. At all events we have the right
to seize the coats wherever found"

From the showing made this morning
in the Jones murder case in Judge Rob-
inson's court it is already obvious that
the fears generally expressed as to the
difficulty of getting a jury have not
been without cause. There were seven
teen on the first panel and out of these
just two were passed ou voir dire and
special venire of fifty was issued re-
turnable at 10 o'clock tomorrow.
Contrary to general expectation, there
was a small attendance when the court
opened. Other than the Jurors, officials
and others who had business about the
court there were not more than half a
dozen curious persons present. The
two sisters and the daughter Of the ac-

IT WAS A SNAP
FOR SOMEBODY
INSPECTION AT IWILEI BROUGHT
IN A SNUG INCOME UNTIL THE
GOVERNOR HEARD OF 1T.

An article in the japanese paper, the
Hawaii Shinpo, touches on "a matter
which was the cause of brief but ef-
fective interview i'm the robins egg
blue chamber between Governor Car
ter and High Sheriff Henry. The ar
ticle refers to certain conditions OBJ
tanning at Iwilei under the new regime
which has practically re-established
the stockade there for women of the
submerged tenth.
The Shinpo states that in the old days
the women were charged a fee of fifty
cents for certificates to the effect that
they had complied with the Board of
Health's regulations, now, since High
Sheriff Henry has been in control, a
white physician has been charging just
twice that amount for a similar service.
The point of the plant of the Japanese
paper is not in the increased charge but
in the fact that the money goes into
the pocket of one whereas i'm the old
days it went to the Golfers of the Board
of Health and could be applied for
public purposes. AS there are over
two hundred women in the restricted
district it will be seen that neat in
come of over $500 a month has been
collected by someone.
When the matter came to the Gov
ernor's attention it is said that there
was a rush order for the attendance Of
the High Sheriff on the robins egg-blue
carpet and the result of that interview
has been that the official sanction to
the visiting physician has been dis
continued.
