Work on Charter Revision.

VII
The charter revision committee expects
to finish its work this week and formulate
the various recommendations for bills
amending the South Omaha charter. So
far all the work has been simply sugges-
lions on and discussion in committee OF
the whole. with the next meeting the
committee Of the whole win submit its
full report for adoption. AS to the office
Of tax commissioner there Is considerable
difference of opinion. Some favor doing
away with the office and taking the as
sessment by the county as the basis for
municipal taxation. On the other hand,
some favor a retention Of the same system
as at present. The committee has among
other things suggestions creating five or
six new offices under the charter. An
other suggestion is that the limit of ex-
penditures be raised to any amount the
mayor and council see fit.

House by the old
Timers.

A thing happened down at Pa Rourke's
Smoke House Saturday evening that made
many fans fear for a few minutes they
would have 10 look to new hands for their
red lemonade next summer
A man entered the store, walked back
into the rear room where the bulletin board
hangs and riveted his eyes on the big black
wall that during the season reflects the
days results from all the base ball world.
He gazed for a minute or two the distance
of the room, then rushed up as close to the
board as he could get, pulled out his
''specks' and. put them on. He looked some
more. Disguised. he Jerked OFF his glasses
and walked with impatient step back into
the front part of the store where Brother
Dave was selling the stogies.
Say. what's the secret l can't see
My God, what's hAppened?" shouted
Dick Gfotte, and oarvin ran for a bucket
OF water.
Brother Dave had fallen in a faint
through the glass show case.
They laid him out and began working
over him. Directly Pa Rourke came rushing
in from the street.
Brother Dave began to come to and his
first words were:
Soak EN- Jimmy, you can make an
other home run with the bases full"
Here's what Clark Griffith. the Reds
new manager, will nave to decide;
Whether Hoblitzell or Aubrey shall play
first base.
whether Miller Hugglns or Dick Egan
shall patrol section two.
" neither Hulswitt, Lobert or Smith shall
draw salary as shortstop.
Whether Lobert shall go back to third
base or Mike Mowrey cover that precinct.
whether Dody Paskert, Buster Bescher
or Rube Ellis shall cavort around in the
left garden.
Whether Johnny Kane, Dody Paskert,
Dickey Bayles or Rube Ellis shah perform
in the middle divisionso OF the outfield.
How many and whom OF the following
pitchers shall continue to draw salary dur
ing the season. Spade. Ewing, Dubuc,
Campbell, Rowan, savidge, Robinson,
Wicker. o'Toole, Furchner. Casper and

ALASKAN BIRDS IN CALIFORNIA
Strange Visitors Brought to San s..

At fn early hour this morning ser
eral 1ocks of strange birds numbering
thousands came into the city on the
wings Of big rain and wind storm

Of the fowl were found lying inert in
the downtown streets and in The
parks, says a San Bernardino core
spondent of the San Francisco ChrOr
icle. The air was filled last night with
cries of strange fowl which, attracted
by the electric lights. roasted upon The
buildings or fell exhausted In the
streets. Investigation today showed
That many of the birds were of Alas
kan variety, and the only accounting
for their presence in this latitude is
that they were engaged in a long
Hight to the southern zones from their
northern summer haunts and had been
deferred from their route by heavy
winds and rains. The most noticeable
BIRDS were the northern phalOrpe and
the night herons. The former birds
are rarely seen outside of Alaska OF

Not Deer Hunters but Sausage
Makers.

The following deer story was
handed in from Arbor Vitae and
is an excellent fnis for the seas
on's hunting stories.
Last Sunday party of six bold
hunters, all with automatic guns,
started forth in search OF game.
After hunting all the morning the
party sat down on log in hol-
low between Arbor Vitae and Big
St. German lake, to eat their
lunch-and rest, mostly the latter,
when deer, not much larger than
a jack rabbit, ran in front of the
six hunters who at once opened
fire with the six automatics, and
after the smoke had cleared away
search warrant had to be pro-
cured to find the remains of that
deer, as it had been all shot to
pieces.
Now as this was the only deer
seen by the party that day, they
all wanted their share. but how to
divide it was puzzle, until j. B.
Cousineau, who is noted for quick
wit and ability in cases of emer-
gency, came to their rescue and
upon his advice, sausage was
made of the remainder of the deer
and all six hunters had about two
feet each. Upon their return
home in the evening, foot-sore,
tired and hungry, they were greet
ed by the small boys with, 20
Plff1e, here comes the sausage

sausage on their shoulders.

Good Demand For Men.

While many thousands Of dol
lars will not cover the losses oc-
casioned by the forest fires OF the
past fall. they will prove bless
ing in disguise to hundreds, if not
thousands, who would otherwise
have been out OF employment dur
ing the coming winter. The burn
ing over of the timber lands makes
it necessary for the damaged tim
Der to be converted into logs this
winter. To allow the damaged
and dead trees to stand would
mean a great loss by rot during
the next twelve months. Hence
the demand for men to do the
work of cutting. skidding, hauling
etc, and the prospects are that
wages will be good. This is not
only true of Northern Wisconsin,
but of Michigan. Minnesota and
other states where similar ccndi-
tions exist.-Stevens Point Ga
Zette.
