FURNITURE PRICES GO UP
Factories TO Make Up for
Losses

1.-THE price Of furniture has increased
again, this time 10 per cent" remarked e
local furniture dealer. I'VE had to meet
the advance in buying some new supplies
from the factories and wholesalers and the
private customer must In turn meet IT,
There are several reasons which could
be assigned for the steady and persistent
increase in the price OF furniture; the raw
material for wOodenware is not as plentiful
as It once was, labor is higher, prices of
all commodities have gone up-these are
reasons; but I believe the main reason Is
that people for years did not buy as much
or as good furniture as now and many
factories went broke. whereas with q
greater volume of money, more general
prosperity, people are buying more and
factory men are selling advantage of the
opportunity TO make up for their losses
And l don't know that they are altogether
to blame. Perhaps you and 1 would do the
same thing under similar circumstances"

OF Fremont.

An executive meeting of the real estate
men interested in colonization in the Union
Pacific territory IN. Nebraska is being held
at the Willard hotel 1t was called to dis
cuss the land situation in Nebraska with a
view to encouraging colonization aside from
special railroad land interests. Represen-
tatives are present from Dodge, Cheyenne,
Keith. Hall, Perkins, Buffalo, Kearney and
other western counties. Reports from
several of the real estate men attending the
meeting indicate that a lively interest Is
being taken. In western lands and the COM
ing year promises to be one Of the best in
real estate matters known 70 those sections
of the state.
r. j. Tate Of Fremont is at the Willard
in attendance upon the real estate meeting
Real estate matters in Nebraska are in
the best shape in my whole experience, -
says Mr. Tate. "This applies particularly
TO farm lands and colonization matters.
Lands are now selling in the old time arid
belt OF western Nebraska, for from so to
$40 an acre that a few years ago averaged
about $500 per quarter and even less than
that. This is particularly true Of Cheyenne
Keith, Hayes. Perkins, Lincoln and other
western counties. Inquiries are coming
from all parts of the eastern states fol-
suitable farm lands in western Nebraska
and we find. a ready sale at good figures
for all we have to offer.
MANY eastern Nebraska parties are pack
Ing up and moving west to the more rea
sonable priced lands. The Campbell system
of dry cultivation has effectually solved the
problem of cultivation In western Nebraska
The introduction OF the macaroni whea'
into into the western country has practically
reVolutionized wheat raising in that section
and 1t is surprising the. success which has
followed the introduction OF this wheat ir
