Making AshIand beautiful.

ASHLAND Neb.. April 2L-(SpeciaL)-
The movement for making Ashland the city
beautiful is making rapid Roadway Fa-
vored by a natural location surpassed by
few cities in the state, Ashland has awak-
ened to a realization of Its opportunities
for creating an ideal small city OF great
beauty. II possesses a large number of
citizens who are in more than comfortable
circumstances and who are inspired by
civic pride to spend their means literally
in the adornment Of their town. The city
council is heartily in accord with the idea
and is lending its efforts in this direction.
At its last meeting It passed an ordinance
extending the width OF sidewalks and de-
creeing that they shall be built of con-
crete only. and providing for the planting
OF young forest trees on the main avenue
Of the city leading from the business sec
ton to the cemetery. With the completion
OF the new Burlington station on Silver
street and the erection of a new bridge
across Salt Creek, the city will possess a
main thoroughfare two miles in length,
upon which the first efforts will be ex-
pended.

CAIRO Heb.. April 24-Cspecial. LAST
Saturday a meeting was called OF those in
terested in organizing a cooperative COM
pany 20 build and operate a local cream
cry, and after considerable discussion and
an extended address from Soren NJ. Fries,
president Of the Dannebrog Cooperative
company, the organization was made by
the adoption of bylaws and constitution
and the election Of the following oncers:
President, Allen Lowry; vice president,
Fred voss; secretary and treasurer, Elliott
Harrison. The articles OF incorporation
provide for a capital stock Of 5000, though
II is thought that II may not be necessary
20 sell that amount OF stock. The work
OF soliciting stock subscriptions will be
pushed with vigor and when a SUFFICIENT
amount has been subscribed the articles OF
incorporation will be filed and buildins
operations will be commenced. In the
minds OF many no better location for a
creamery could be had. as this is said BY
some Of the creamery men TO be the heavi-
est winter shipping station IN the state
with only two or three which ship more
cream IN the summer. Great interest has
been taken by the farmers, and IL Il
thought that there will be no trouble IN
completing the organization.

DANGEROUS SUN SPOTS.
Unusual Period Of Solar Activity Not
cd by California Priest.

An unusual period of solar activity
has been recently noted by Rev.
Joseph Ricard, S. j., of Santa Clara
College Observatory, who has made
this subject IL special study, says the
San Francisco Monitor.
An extraordinary change in the in
observed, and Father Ric;trd is OF the
opinion that il past experiences arc
any criterion there will shortly be
some extraordinary disturbances on
the earth.
The activity OF tho solar surface
has been increasing until the number
and size OF the groups exceeds any
recently noted. This is considered
strange, as all observers Of tho sun
who have given particular attention
to this subject We're OF the opinion
that the maximum had recently been
reached.
| AS to the nature or the disturbances
that may be, expected, Father Rcard
does not venture to prophesy. 1t
may portelld q: repetition OF the stormy
weather that has prevailed so cSten-
sive1y, or n heat wave, or IL cold wave
such as swept over the western hemi-
sphere recently. Or il may be all of
| these in succession.
Father Ricard attributes the pres
cut warmth to the sun spots. The
cold wave more ur less strongly
marked all over the world he lays to
the same thing.
The different effect produced in
different places Father Ricard OK
plains AS due to differing degrees of
reccptivity Of heat and cold and to
! the presence or absence Of vapors more
or less in,pcrvous to heat. Whore
yapors prevail the cold is likely to
convert them into rain, slect and snow
and make the weather colder than ii
would be without the moisture in tho
|
| Father Ricard expresses The opin-
ion that for every sun spot or group
of sun spots that develops and crosses
| the western boundary OF the sun a
storm appears on the North Pacific
Coast. These storms, he says. gen
orally come southwark and some
times go to the cast or southeast.
Father Ricard is somewhat inclined
to place some OF the responsibility
for the earthquakes which have beer
so numerous in other parts Df the
world to the remarkable sun spot ac-
tivity. He does not believe. though
that there is any danger that this sec
ton will again be affected in this
way. ',-<' -
