salt ~ The greatest luxury known
in Central Africa In some sections
among The poorer inhabitants salt is
never used Even among The better
classes, a man who eats salt with his
1000 is considered a rich individual
In some tribes where salt is not so
scarce children are SO fond of ii that
they may be seen eating it just as
our children would eat pieces of lump
sugar

oRPHEUM CIRCUIT is BETTER
President MeyerfeId Tells of Improve
ments Made for Patrons In
Many Cities.

NJ Meyerfeld, r., president Of the Or
pheum circuit passed through Omaha Tues
day going TO San Francisco on the Over
land limited. He arrived on an early train
and spent the time looking over the great
improvements in Omaha, with which he was
impressed.
We are building an uptown theater in
San Francisco which Will be a model" said
MIR. Meyerfeld "and will not try to save
expense in making It absolutely modern in
every particular have just closed a deal
which will be Of interest to- the theater-
going people of Omaha. as 1t enlarges the
facilities at our command for getting at
fractions. We have Joined in booking with
Keith, Proctor Poll and Kohl & Gable, maxi
ing over forty theaters under one booking
ngeRcy., and thus lBsurinE better attrac-
tions all, around and making a chain Of
houses from coast TO coast.
las you know Dundy 4 Thompson have
given up the 'Hippodrome. Their idea of
putting on the best did not coincide with
the idea of John w. Gates and the other
financiers. who demanded large dividends
on their money. They made the Hippo
irome the finest in the world and have the
prestige. They have spoiled New Workers
until they will still demand something
grand. The electric lighting effects on the
Hippodrome were the finest in the world.
Manager Reiter will see to It that the
Omaha house Is completely remOdeled for

CROPS GOOD IN BOTH STATES
Conditions Along the Burlington In
Nebraska and wyoming are
Reported Favorable.

So far as the Burlington crop reports go
conditions in Nebraska and Wyoming are
good. In Nebraska this showing is made:
Ihe ground throughout this district is be-
coming dry There are few places, IL any.
on the other hand, there are no places
where more rain would not be very accept
able.
On two, eastern divisions, and. in fact,
on all divisions Of the district, winter
wheat is still in very fair condition. Re
on Lincoln division, next best on Wyniore
division and third~best on McCook division.
inc places needing rain most on wymore
division are south OF Rulo. on Lincoln divi-
sion, perhaps, I'm the vicinity of Kearney,
and on McCook division rain is much
needed on main line. Kenesaw TO Wray.
The winter wheat straw is very generally
short because of lack OF moisture and In
some places the wheat heads are short
With fair amount of rain Tor the next
fifteen days there is no reason why the
wheat crop may not be equal 10 or above
during that period the crop will be below
the average. The stand of wheat when 1t
started this spring was especially good and
the grain IN very vigorous condition. Start
ing in that condition the crop will not be
injured by DRY weather as quickly as II
no doubt that In places the crop has al
ready been damaged by dry weather
Weather up to this time has been exceed
ingly favorable for corn except that nights
| have been 10 cool Very generally the
many places 1t has been plowed the second
time The dry weather has been favorable
for corn and nowhere has the crop suffered
for moisture. While the plant Is small IL
needs cultiVating more than anything else
and with plenty OF rain In July and Au-
gust prospects for corn could hardly be
better than they are today. During the
last few years the months of June have
I been so wet that corn fields have grown
up TO weeds and corn has suffered because
OF not having been. thoroughly cultivated
while the plant is small There is no
doubt that the weather has been exceed
ingly favorable for corn up to the present
time De-
Prospects throughout the district are at
present time for a short crop OF oats and a
failure in many places II the dry weather
continues very much longer. The weather
has been both cool and dry both OF which
conditions are unfavorablc for spring grain
What is true of oats Is practically true OF
! spring wheat. In places here and there
! ally speaking, indications for this crop are
not good
The weather so far has been favorable for
potatoes. Prospects are excellent.
The first crop OF alfalfa has generally
| been cut and was fully up to the average.
| The second crop is beginning TO grow, but
everywhere needs rain. Pastures so far
I have yielded fair amount OF feed for stock,
| but are quite generally suffering, and un-
| less we should have rain soon VIII suffer
very greatly.
The sugar beet crop is in excellent con-
ditiOn wherever II u raised IN this district
There are no unfavOrable reports.
The crop Of cherries Is unusually heavy.
Strawberries and other small fruits have
] been. very materially cut short by dry
weather.

COUNTY EoUALlZERS MEET
Hoard OrEsHiHes and IL Ready to Hear
Complaints AbOut PubIic

The County Board OF Equalization met
Tuesday morning and organized for siege
with people who think their taxes are too
high by electing p. J. Trsinor chairman.
Charles Youngers, who served the county
as bailiff OF the grand Jury was chosen
messenger The board did not get farther
than the routine business Of organisation
before adjournment. The way protests
have been piling up indicates the board will
have all IL can do to finish up its business
before June Is. the time allotted to it by
law.
|, The county attorney, has been asked to
give the board an opinion as to whether
the board has the right TO add to the
valuation OF real estate the increase due
10 public improvements. such as paving and
other street improvements. The law pro-
vides that real estate shall be appraised
for assessment only once in four years
but II also makes provision for assessing
annually the Increase due TO improvements
The board Is in doubt as to whether this
would give them the power TO increase the
valuation OF property along a street which
had been paved since the last assessment
or not They have also asked for an opin-
ion as 20 whether or not they can decrease
valuations on real estate.
The equalization board consists of the
county commissioners, the county clerk and
the assessor.
