MILK HIGH AND SCARCE.

Sioux City, Nov. 24.-Sioux City is
facing a great scarcity OF milk and as
result the price has not only jump
ed to height that has not been
reached in this city in many years,
but is difficult to get at any price,
And the cause for this scarcity is at
tributed TO prosperity"
Paradoxical as this may seem the
wholesale dealers give this as the
reason and say further that the farm
ers have grown so wealthy that they
dlsdain the humble dairy occupation
and keep COWS only for private use

hits out Of 4 times up. In the 9TH he
busted one out in right and made the

score OF 10 to Il. The locals out
played the visitors from start to fin

Fulbright, who served the pill"

at first were about the only redeem
ing feature Of Cape's game. All the
Carleton boys played good baseball,

We are Just now in lull Of politics

Jumps on the ilsurgent Republicans
as hard as is intimated in the news
from Beverly, the atmosphere is likely
to be filed with fur and feathers as
IT has not been since the monkey and
the parrot came together
The President has reason to be an
CRY to the bone, for the insurgents
have already opened fire in his rear
with a paramount issue, which comes
very near being an open insult to
the administration and to all the
leaders Of the regular Republican or
ganization. Part Of their program is
TO send TO Washington men who VIII

promised to do or were instructed to
do before their election.
This seems 10 sting the President
in sensitive spot. but 1t is a rule
that We must go back to If representa-
tive government Is to survive in this
country. Tariff revision was the para
mount Issue in the presidential cam
paign and the President has changed
the subject" to an issue that was not
mentioned before the election.
1t is foolishness to make paramount
issues before the people until this
higher paramount. demanded by the
insurgents. is established. The Re
publican party has led the country too
far away from the principles and prac-
tees OF popular goyernment-St.

the condition Sept. l being 74.6, as

where $4,000 horse power will be gen.
Grated and sent to Omaha over copper
wires.
After leaving the dam the water
will continue in the new channel pro-
vided for it for 20 miles, when anoth-
er natural reservoir is encountered,
and a fall of so feet obtained At
this point, near Schuyler, Neb., 10000
horse power is to be generated and
sent onward to the big packing houses
at Omaha.
Again the river will be made cap
tive and conducted along its new
channel to the Maple Creek valley,
where another plant is to produce 3d.
600 horse power
Near Fremont still another plant
will generate 10000 horse power, and
then the last stage Of the artificial
river is to be begun. Between Ere
mont and Omaha, about 40 miles, the
greatest engineering feat of the devel-
opment is planned This is the cross
ing of the river high up aboy.' the
Elkhorn river which traverses a deep
valley. The Loup will be conducted
over this stream on a giant concrete
bridge, the largest in the country.
From this point 70 Omaha the new
river will pass through hills border
ing on the Missouri river, and finally
will plunge over the very crest of the
highest of these into the Missouri, in

$4,000 horse power. The total energy
generated at the five falls will be

MOVING A GREAT RIVER.
Nebraska Stream Is to Be Carried
100 Miles Overland.

To bring the greatest river in Ne
braska 100 miles overland, crossing
other rivers and streams en- route, at
a cost of $7,O00,000, is the plan for
which construction contracts have al
ready been signed The object of the
great work is the development of
force to the extent of 100000 horse
power for the use of the great pack
ing houses and -four mills of Omaha.
All plans have been made, the scheme
financed and contracts let.
The stream which is to be carried
overland is the Loup, the river hav-
ing the largest flow of water in Ne
braska, and, according to the United
States Geological Survey, the stream
having the most uniform flow of wa
ter in all the world drouths or floods
seeming never to influence it. The
Platte river, commonly known as the
largest in Nebraska, has not the
strong flow of water possessed by the
Loup. Practically the entire Loup
river will be diverted from its present
bed and conducted across the country
on an entirely different level from the
one given the river by nature In it's
new course the Loup will cross the
Elkhorn river, the fourth largest
stream in the State, on a great con-
crete bridge high up in the air The
same course will be pursued in cross
ing smaller streams and depressions
too large to fill.
The big plan which has just been
financed and made public contem-
plates diverting the Loup from it's
present course, at Genoa, Neb. Here
the stream flows eastward, but the
new river will be conducted north

voir, seven miles long, at the lower
end of which a dam, 120 feet high,
will be constructed. From the top of
this dam penstocks will lead the wa

from a national rather than from the
grain dealers standpoint, is the show
ing made on hay. The crop is Off
cially given at 64,166, 900 tons, as COM
pared with 7O,798,00O tons a year ago,
when the yield was the largest ever
recorded.
The loss of 100000 bushels in
spring wheat is comparatively unim-
portant, as the total indicated yield of
714,302, 900 bushels winter and spring
compares with Sos, 100000 bushels last
year, thus making the present crop
approximately 50,OOo,000 bushels larg-
er than that of last year.
All other features of the government
report were comparatively common
place. August losses in oats were
about 100000 bushels, thus putting
the crop from first to fourth place and
indicating a yield of 949, 965, 900 bush
els. The report also showed falling
off of about 100000 bushels each in
spring wheat and barley, while the
rye crop showed a gain of about
100000 bushels.
