That is the settlement of families on
these lands under conditions that will
give them a certain livelihood, together
with an opportunity to educate their
children in centralized schools, which
will unquestionably produce here as
good or better grade of citizenship
than has been developed elsewhere.
BY centralized schools, mean cen
trail school in a district where the
the grades are established, and where
a teacher particularizes or specializes
In one grade only She gives her full
time and the children reap the benefit
and this will surely be noticeable at
the end of school year. When you
have several small schools in the same
district with only a few scholars in
each grade and one teacher to over
see all classes, I am certain the results
will not be as great as in the big
centralized schools.

fine as in the United States. There
is no question in my mind but that
the greatest advance toward improving
the condition of the people of the
Islands would result if method could
be devised whereby small farmers of
the Anglo-Saxon race could become
owners of such sized tracts Of land as
they and their families could cultivte
to advantage and procure a livelihood
therefroni.
As chairman of the National Irri-
cation Association, l shall be pleased
to do all that is in my power to ex.
tend the benefits of that service to
these Islands, after method is de-
vised that will produce in the Hawai-
ian Islands the same conditions that
result from its use in the States.

Stock Yards Line
Common Carrier,
Says Higher Court

United States District Attorney Goss re-
ceived a telegram from st. Paul Friday aft
ernoon announcing that the United States
circuit court of appeals had sustained the
contention of the United States circuit
court for the district of Nebraska, that the
Union Stock Yards company OF South
Omaha was a common carrier and was
amenable under the interstate commerce
laws as such.
The contention held by the stock yards
company was that as it did not operate
railway lines off its own premises in the
stock yards it could not be classed as a
common carrier and appealed the case on
that ground.
The case originally grew out of the stock
yards company attaching its yard engine to
a car that had been received in interstate
commerce, the car being defective in hav-
ms no automatic or impact coupler as is
required under the interstate m
laws. A second cause of action was in
receiving and handling in its yards a car
loaded with coal from Iowa that was also
in bad repair. SUIT was t%hereupon brought
against the stock yards company under the
safety appliance act, and a Judgment was
obtained against the stock yards company,
Judge 4. c, Munger, holding that it was
a common carrier amenable under the in
ferstate commerce laws.

Bought from Mrs. Howard Ten
Days Ago Again Changes
Hands.

Frank Burnley of the BurkIey Printing
&C mpany has bought the old Carpenter
Paper Company building at Twelfth and
Howard streets of George b. Darr for
500 900.
Mr.. Darr bought the property from Mrs.
Jeanne Howard of New York City only a
few weeks ago for 10000, but trading a
large tract of western land and giving a
mortgage on the building to secure title,
Mrs. Howard accepted 10000 worth Of
Dawson county and other western lands,
some 5000 i'm cash and a $500 mortgage.
II is understood Mr.. Darr gets sufficient
cash out of the deal with Mr.. Burkley to
make it practically a cash deal.
The warehouse, which was occupied by
the Carpenter PAPER company for many
years, is a well end substantially built
wal ehouse. but not modern. Dealers say
it will require some $500 to 10000 to in
stall sprinkler system and max other
changes, but the property is on trackage,
has good shipping platforms and is large
enough TO accommodate two or three
wholesale houses of fair size.
Bought for Investment.
Mr.. Burnley said: Il bought the prop
erty more as an Investment than as a
home for the printing house, though We
have not decided whether to move the
printing plant to the building or not. 1t is
large enough to make a good home for d
large printing house and accommodate one
or two other lines of business"
The sale was made direct, Mr.. Darr and
Latham Davis having a real estate and
investment office, which handles holdings
of both Mr.. Darr and Mr.. Davis.
More big deals are said to be pending
in Omaha at the present time than at any
period in recent years. both in residence
and business property.

with Harry +. wilkins. who secures the
vacant lots at Fortieth and Dewey for

to the LincOIn-OnahR
Line.

river. was in Omaha Friday consulting
with J.. w. Wakeley, general passenger
agent of the lines west of the river In ref
erence to the proposed time changes which
will be put in effect over the Burlington
system May %
These changes will be most important
and will involve the addition of numerous
new trains, most Of which will directly
benefit Omaha. The second flyer from
omaha to the Puget Sound country will
then be putin service, running over the
Burlington TO Billings and from Billings
over the new Great Northern line through
Great Falls. The midnight train from
Omaha west by which residents i'm all parts
OF the state on the Burlington will be able
o return to their homes on the same day
after shopping and visiting the theaters in
Omaha viii also be OF great benefit to this
city.
Another new train talked about but which
has not been definitely decided upon is an
evening train from Omaha TO Lincoln. For
some years there has been a clamor for
this train and the Burlington officials now
see their way clear to put the train I'm
service. leaving Omaha for Lincoln about
7 p. m.
All of these new trains, with the help of
the new Omaha division with its head
quarters in Omaha, will greatly benefit the
wholesale and retail interests Of Omaha,
as they will not only permit passengers to
return the same night, but will also permit
omaha merchants to send out packages TO
All parts of the state the same night. Here
