that many existing theories re-
garding icebergs require modi-
fcation.
For instance, it has generally
been believed that for every
cubic foot above water there
are seven cubic feet below, and
a berg, therefore, that towers,
say 100 feet above the ocean
level has total height of 800
feet. Lieut.. Peary, who has
made several journeys into the
polar regions, declares that this
is not always the case. sit is
true, " he says, 'that the
heaviest portion of the berg is
submerged, but it is wrong to
say that seven-eighths of it's
height or size is under water.
| have noted several instances
where only two thirds of berg
is submerged"
We know, of course, that ice
bergs are merely chips from
the great glaciers. It was
thought at one time that, as the
glaciers pushed themselves into
the sea, it was pressure from

Mayor Jim Takes
Shot at Governor
On Colonies
Dahlman Roasts Three Jack Mem
bers of staff and Shallenberger
for Naming Them.

Mayor Jim is now venting his wrath on
the democratic governor.
II feel 1t my duty to warn you that I
have winged three of your colonies and
that 1t would be inadvisable for you to call
out your army at this time with his de-
pleted force
This telegram was sent to Governor Shall
lenberger at Lincoln by Mayor Dahlman,
who chuckles to himself at the thought of
what he calls the poor selection of staff
officers made by the governor who de-
feated him for the democratic nomination
last year. The mayor says he offered to
act as recruiting sergeant in Omaha and
had he done so would nave picked for the
governors staff men who could tan fire
and come out unscathed.
The governor, however, chose his own
colonies - the three who have been
winged" the mayor says, and are now
unfit for service. They are Colonel E. p.
Bergman. Colonel B.. f. Marshall and Col
onel p. c. Heafey, all Jacks. and there
fore not on the mayors calling list, or,
for that matter, on the calling list of any

The Omaha Packing company has com
pleted an extensive construction of asphalt
flooring in the local plant. This work has
been going on at this plant for several
months. The asphalt flooring is said to be
the best form of sanitary treatment which
can be used. The area covered includes all
the floors from the top to the bottom
where the floors are trodden over or come
In contact with blood or offal. In the chill
rooms 1t is not so necessary, and these
rooms have the floors covered with sawdust
to act as an insulation.
The other South Omaha packing houses
have adopted this kind Of flooring to a
large extent. The Cudahy Packing com
pany has had men at work for nearly
eighteen months making the floors safe
and sanitary.
The packers are doing some discussing of
the probable effect of the extra session
of congress, and Manager Culver of the
omaha plant said yesterday: THE eastern
market is beginning to feel the uncertainty
existing In the manufacturing centers and
the condition will become more uncertain
until the tariff measures are definitely
settled. The meat industry will be the last
OF any to actually suffer on account of
the unsettled conditions with fields of in
