MAY MEAN COSTLY NEW Rate
Serious TO Hartman
~ rrrue

Omaha oficials OF the Hartman and TIN
lines in Omaha say they have heard
nothing OF the proposed rate increase on
lumber from the Pacific coast to St. Paul.
The roads have never met the 40 cents
rate to Omaha. which has prevailed on one
class OF lumber 20 St. Paul. While the
dispatches say nothing Of the matter, It is
thought the rate could not have been raised
to st. Paul without a similar raise being
made to the Missouri river points, because
the northern reads nun TO Sioux City. as
well as st. Paul.
SHOULD that report be true II will mean
the reissuing Of new lumber tariff by
the Union Pacific. which will cost over
5000" said a prominent Union Pacific

SETTLERS WILL Be AMPLE
Plenty for Every Acre Of Irrigated Land in
West, Says HsldreVs.
INFLUX THIS YEAR is UNPRECEDENTED
Burlington General Manager says
Nebraska Farmers Never Had
- Good Prospects aa
This Spring.

Every indication IL there will be plenty
Of settlers for every acre Of land which Il
put on the market under an irrigRting ditch
In the west" said General Manager Hol-
drege Of the Burlington, who has just re-
turned from trip through the northwest
ern country, accompanied by c. r. spens,
general freight agent. They visited in the
Black Hills, went as far north as Billings
over the Cody line and over the new line to
worland.
THE influx OF settlers this spring seems
unprecedented" added Mr.. Holdrege. I'VE
met them in large numbers everywhere all
looking for homes and land TO farm. The
class OF settlers is improving every year.
for people are realizing there Is vast
amount Of money to be made in western
farm lands, both for speculation and for
farming. We encourage all who wish to
settle in the west and special rates are now
in which are moving thousands to western
Nebraska and eastern Wyoming.
THE twenty-five miles OF road Is now
being built from worland southwest to
Gebo and It won't be long before they will
be hauling coal over that road"
Going Right Ahead.
When asked as TO the truth OF the re-
port from Casper that the surveyors had
the survey for the road between Worlahd
and the Burlington line at Guernsey, MIR.
Holdrege said:
eve did not take those men off, they
have been working all winter. We are
going ahead and will complete the survey.
but l cannot tell when the line will be
built, because no work has been author
lied on this extension.
During my residence In Nebraska don't
remember spring when l thought the
country looked as good as It does this
spring. 1t is much earlier than usual and
the grass on the ranges has a good start.
The winter wheat has gone through the
winter in splendid shape and there Is plenty
Of moisture in the ground from the rain
and snow to insure q splendid crop of win
ter wheat, Conditions are most exoeilbht
for starting all sorts of crops and the
farmers are not waiting for spring rain,
but are all busy, which means they viii
get better start this spring than ever,
The supply of moisture has put the ground
in condition for blowing. and while most
/ of the farmers have not started on the
corn crop they will be ready for that by
the first of the MONTH"

Photoqraphina the Voice.

After the problem of obtaining a rec
ord of the human voice had once been
solved by the invention of the phono-
graph many inventors turned their at
tention toward some suitable process
for photographing spoken words.
Though a photograph record consti-
tutes a true picture of the voice, it is
not distinct enough to be deciphered by
mere inspection.
The Photographic monograph or pho
tographone invented by Herr Hummer
affords far more characteristic graph
ical rendering of spoken words. In this
apparatus an electric arc lamp inserted
in the circuit of microphone is made
to give out radiation the intensity of
which corresponds to the sound vibra-
ton in the microphone, this radiation
being fixed photographically on the film
running past in front of narrow slot.
By a convenient inversion of the whole
process the original sound can then be
reproduced from the Photographic rec
ord.-Dr. A. Gradenwitz in Technical

To Destroy Them Means an Addition &c

the Food Supply.
To show the strength and ability Of
an alligator, a party of as fishing for
tarpon on the Myakka river caught
tarpon weighing It's pounds, says q
writer in Forest and Stream. The gen
tleman catching it proposed to hare it
mounted and in the evening left 1t mp
on the grass close to the yacht. In the
morning it was gone, and by the place
were the tracks of large alligator.
An alligator is an able duck hunter.
and where the ducks feed and the
gators live there is often chance to
see them hunting. My observations
were made while tarpon fishing. A
flock of ducks would feed along the
stream. An alligator with only his
head out (which In size and shape II
something like a duck would glide
along until close to the ducks and then
go under, and in moment duck
would go under, and up would go the
others.
In few cases we have examined the
stomachs of alligators, and where there
were ducks about we found In the
gators bunch of ducks feathers from
the size of your fist to twice that. We
also have found pieces of wood worn
smooth-always found this-showing
that it Is used in some way In diges-
ton.
A friend who has a museum wanted
a big alligator, so we set about to get
him one. The captain Of the yacht 10

the big ones live. The captain could
call them up and did call big one. He
shot him, but unfortunately on steep
bank. and the gator slid into deep wa
ter, and not until rugged q grapple
with heavy sinker and tarpon hooks did
we fish him out. He was eleven ana

400 pounds In his stomach we found .
drumfish about two and half feet
long, pieces of wood and bunch OF
feathers.

thinking him dead, have taken hinz ans
to the boat to find shortly that he was
much alive and that the bullet had
glanced off. There was something do
ing until we could finish him.
There is feeling that these reptiles
should not be exterminated. This can
only be based on the preservation OF q
part of nature, not on account OF any
benefit they are to man. They destroy
valuable food, pigs, ducks and fish, and
they also kill dogs,
There is much said and written about
the preservation of fishhawks, pelicans,
cormorants. looms and gulls. Their
preservation means the destruction of
great quantities of food fsh. This
would not have been SO important be-
fore the great amount OF net fishing.
