In handling the dirt from the excava
ton Of the new postotfice building
there is an opportunity to improve the
east end of Thornburg street. For
south of the university has not pre-
scented a very slightly appearance be-
cause of the fact that it was away he
low grade. An effort has been made,
with some success, to fill in at this
point, but a very large amount of earth
is still needed. The excavation for the
new ~postofiice furnishes the opportun-
ity and the city should improve it.

preliminary inquiries, that he wanted
the consulship-held down by a very
competent man who is not going to be
disturbed-at a German city near
which a famous Spa is located.
He was asked why he had fixed his
mind upon Just that place.
"Well." he replied, quite offhand.

MUNGER HEARS BOOKS CASE
Federal Judge Listens to Argument
in Water COmpany-BOard
Litigation.

Judge Munger returned at noon Satur-
day from his Indiana visit, and at O'Clock
heard the arguments of the attorneys for
the Omaha Water board and Omaha
Water company relative to the production
OF the water company's books and records
in order that the Water board may ascer-
tain the cost of water to consumers by
meter measurement.
The argument was opened by c. c..
Wright for the Water board. who stated
that the purpose OF the production of the
books and records Of the water company
was to ascertain the number OF gallons
of water pumped daily, the amount Of
water furnished Omaha and South Omaha
consumers and the amounts paid for the
same by meter measurement; the cost 0G
pumping per thousand gallons, etc.
Mr.. Wright further maintained that the
motion of the water company to prevent
the Water board from consulting the water
company's books is premature. because OF
having been made before the answer was
hled.

NEBRASKA AT THE EXPOSITION
Antelope state In Making a Proud
Show mt the Big Port
land Fair.

PORTLAND. Ore, June 17.-(Special >
The Nebraska pavilion and corn palace in
the Agricultural building at the exposition
is In reality the state headquarters for the
Nebraska commission, visiting Nebraskans
and sight-seers. The pavilion itself was
designed by Thomas r. Kimball of Omaha,
member of the board of architects for
the st. Louis exposition. 1t is italian in
its style of architecture resembling a sum-
mer villa. surrounded by a colonade. The
color scheme is chocolate and burnt orange
producing a striking effect. Here are to
be found reception rooms for visitors, read
ing room with the latest newspapers from
Nebraska, easy chairs and settses and all
conveniences for the comfort OF visitors.
The center OF the building is occupied by
little theater. seating over 100 persons
where hourly moving picture exhibitions
are given, illustrating the resources Of the
state. Ten sets OF films are shown, eact
representing some industry OF Nebraska
One depicts the life of the farmer from

ing, harvesting and haying season. the
orcharding period to corn picking in the
fall. Another series represents the cattle
industry, from the feed lot to the stock
yards, and the packing houses of South
Omaha. Another series show cattle scenes
upon the ranches in the western part OF
the state the growth of alfalfa, the poultry
and dairy life. the raising of sugar beets
and manufacture of the product into sugar.
A number OF the films show scenes taken
at the State fair and the Ak-Sar-Ben fes-
tivities at Omaha. One of the most notable
pictures is that of the late President Nc
Kinley at the Transmississippi exposition
at Omaha. This is one of the very few
moving pictures of the late president in
existence. These moving picture exhibi-
tions, which are free, are now attended
daily by hundreds of people and are
creating the same enthusiasm that they
produced at st. Louis last summer.
In this Nebraska pavilion Is also exhib-
tied a magnificent display of corn Over
eighty-one varieties OF field corn. sweet
corn. popcorn and flint corn are shown in
all their various colorings In addition to
this display of corn the Nebraska commits
sion has also installed an exhibit OF the
very best sheaf and threshed grains found
in the state and a collection Of grasses
numbering over 1853 varieties.

agricultural products at st. Louis last

room is the mounted hide of the champion
prize steer of the world. Challenger. This
animal won the its awards at the Interna-
petitors from all parts of the world as the
fines type OF beef steer shown. The sale
of its meat and its many prizes ag-
gregated $1,000 to the University Of Ne

example OF what proper feeding of bal
anced rations will do in fattening cattle
The Nebraska commission is planning to
entertain a great number of visitors from
the state during the next few weeks. Dur
