The efforts to place the alleged mar
ket house into commission merely
serves to emphasize the stupendous
blunder OF the council which placed
that blotch on Capitol avenue. The
fact that Omaha needs a market house
has been apparent for many years,
and one has long been earnestly urged
by The Bee as an Improvement that
should be made. Private interests
have so far been sufficiently potent to
defeat the establishment of appropriate
quarters for the carrying on of a busi-
ness that is properly conducted at a
market. A good New Years resolu-
ton for the Omaha CITY council would
be to make some adequate provision
for the accommodation of the growing
trade that is now carried on practically
unrestricted and under rules provided
by private rather than public inter-
ests, and when this step has been
taken have the useless building that
now encumbers Capitol avenue re-
moved. At present it is useless and
for the future II promises nothing ex-
cept to stand as monument to folly.

Happy Rev Year,

And the dawn
OF a new year
Is here.
Now Is the time to make
Resolutions that will break;
To think
You won't drink;
To choke
On smoke;
To be shy
OF the lie;
To swear
You'll be square;
To-but why go into particulars7
The perpendtculars
Are upright and the others Amt
And you can't be q saint
Simply because the new year
Is here.
Swear off on new-year swear-off.
Make your life throughout the year
AS clear and square as should be,
And your future will be clear.
Resolutions are but rotten

And shows the yellow streak.

And, best OF all, new smiles to cheer,
New voices to call "A Happy New Year!"

New fads to try, new styles to wear
New breakfast foods on which to choke,
New sounds OF mirth DER the same old joke,
New rhymes to make at the same old
price
At the zero marik-but that cuts no ice,
New slang to use or to hold In check
We'll fer ca-a-ats sake!' and "Oh. heel"
A glad New Year, and what does IL holdf
Beautiful thoughts from hearts of gold.
Bountiful deeds to make life dear.
And a simple trust that knows no fear;
Plenty OF work and plenty Of care,
Plenty of love and some to spare;
Plenty OF laughter and plenty OF cheer
All these come with the glad New Year.

General conditions all over the

now that the bankers have acted in
unison to prevent any disturbance out
side of New York. In New York
things have quieted down, and the
news from Europe is every day more

Europe is buying American copper
at last. This will result in sending
over to America a lot of gold il pay
ment. America is just beginning to
send over her great export farm crops,
and hundreds of millions of dollars
must be paid to America by Europe
in cash within the next six or nine
months.
There is no slackenin il our indus

ness is being conducted at a profit,
and labor is fully employed. With the
right spirit prevailing throughout the
country, this winter will break all

WHY NOT NEW
MEXICO POTATOES.

From Santa Fe New Mexican
Potatoes raised near Carboadale,
Colorado have been used for several
years exclusively in the dining cars
of the New York Central Railway, al
though they have to be hauled two
thousand miles for that purpose Now
it is reported that the Harvey eating
house system which controls the din
ing cars and eating houses and hotels
along the extensive Santa Fe system
from Chicago to the Pacific coast ald
on its numerous branch lines, has al
SO contracted for its potato supply
from the same farmers, for the rea-
son that these potatoes are the best
raised and are superior in every way.
It is an established fact that the Har=
vey eating house system endeavors to
give its patrons, and they number
thousands, the best meals, the clean
est table service and the choicest
meat. vegetables and fruits.
Colorado potatoes are proverbial for
being a good article, and the market
Tor them is expanding constantly.
New Mexico, that is in many sections,
can produce potatoes that with care

De raised in Taos county, in the noun
ainous sections of Colfax county in

,ity, in the Estancia valley and sur
'ounding valleys on the Gila river,

lities and of excellent quality, and
should supply the home demand. What
Colorado climate and soil can do New
Mexico climate and soil can produce
till better, provided brains, knowl-
edge, experience and proper cultivation
and labor are applied and used. The
Greeley potato crop this year from a
comparatively small area amounts to
about 10000 car loads, and is sell
ing at very handsome figures. 1t is
therefore no wonder that the farmers
of that section are very prosperous,
and are living on the fat of the land.
