NEBRASKA HOLDS BONDS.
Has Nearly a Million of the
Gem State Securities.

mas Nearly MIiIlOn OF In0
Gem State Securities.
The Boise Statesman says: Estate
Treasurer Hastings, in looking over
the books of his Office, makes the
somewhat interesting report that
Of the 81 ,O79,OOO in Idaho state
bonds practically all, or to be
exact, 1921 900 is held by the
schools Of the state Of Nebraska.
There was time when Nebraska
was regarded as but one removed
from the hot place. 1t was the
home of the soured and populistic
Kansan, who had been transplant
ed and driven deep into the soil by
festive and belligerent cyclone.
1t was the home of the grasshoppers
that could bore hole through q
boiler plate and eat willow brush
and cactus as girl eats ice cream
Just for dessert. Texas long
horns grazed on their plains, and
drove timid women into fits, be-
sides committing the further and
graver depreciation of entering
body and soul into the canned beef
trade. Nebraska was the keystone
of the Undesirable states" that
Mr.. Cleveland once dismissed with
a wave of his hand toward the set
ting sun. But times have changed.
They converted their whiskers into
fodder for the cows. They killed
the grasshoppers, and fed the corn
to their hogs instead. They stified
their natural pessimism and raised
alfalfa instead of curses. And for
tune smiled on them. They accu-
mulated money, scads of it. They
grew fat and opulent. With their
prosperity came the plntocratic de-
sire to make their money work for
them. They sent few dollars out
here to Idaho and the investment
prospered. Then they brought q
whole trunkful of coin, bought up
all the state bonds in sight-and
there they are. Now they clip their
coupons with a pair of well worn
wall paper shears. Idaho pays
much tribute to a state that a few
years ago wouldn't have been
allowed across the Rocky noun
tains."
