In one matter the anii-saloon pcoplo
are likely 10 make a point against the
republicans in some cf the counties.
For example resentment viii be felt III
Dodge county because c. G. Mcfish,
chairman Of the republican county car~
trail committee is believed 20 have
spent some time at the capital lobby
ing against county option. 1t is fac,
that Mr. McNish was here during tGo
period when the option bills ,vera
pending, and was generally understood
to represent the brewing interests. tie
was also understood to be against the
direct primary, railroad regulation and
other things advocated in the repub-
lican platform. The advocates of county
option in a county like Dodge are
much more likely to hold the entire
republican party responsible for the
defeat Of the bills than in districts
where the leaders of the party have not
made themselves extensively active.
Prof. T.. II. Barbour has issued a bull
letin on the Honey Creek coal mine,
four miles southeast of Peru. The re-
port has been filed with Governor
Sheldon. This mine has been referred
to as the first coal mine found in Me-
braska, although other small veins
have been found but none of them
proved profitable. The Honey Creek
mine is near the Missouri river. The
average thickness Of the vein is thirty
four inches. Any coal is considered
good in a state supposedly destitute Of
natural fuel, but Professor Barbour
says this mine produces a good aver
age grade Of bituminous coal. Though
the bed may be limited to a square
mile or so it is Of Importance to the
state of Nebraska. Samples tested by
chemists show that II is not far be-
hind the Ignite coal of Cumberland,
Wyo. The comparison between two
samples of the Honey Creek coal and
the Wyoming coal show that one of
the Nebraska samples produced 1881
British thermal units per pound Of
coal, another tested 1892 and the
Wyoming coal tested 14,100. The per
cent Of combustible volatile matter In
< one of the Nebra ska samples was
found to be 44.50 and in another sam
pie 1920 and in the Wyoming sample
45.10. Eight men are regularly en-
ployed in the mine and the present
output is six to eight tons day, with
promise Of doubling that capacity soon
The output from the date of opening
February II, 1906, to February Is, 1907
cannot exactly be given, inaslnuch as
no records were kept until September
1906. There are two tunnels. The out
put from tunnel No. is not known
but was probably not less than seven
ty-five tons. The total output TO Feb
ruary Is, 1907 was 400 tons, valued at
s1,4o0. The coal sells for $3.50 ton

Another seed fraud. that bane OF the
farmer has reached such dimensions in
Nebraska as to require a warning bull
letin from the state experiment station.
Farmers have lately greatly increased
their use of the tame pasture grasses
that have been found To thrive in this
state. particularly meadow fescue and
bronze grass. The experiment station
workers find that a considerable pro-
portion OF the seed samples submitted
for their examination are badly adulter-
ated with cheat seed. Two farmers at

supposed was meadow foscue. but on
