for all of the most rapidly growing of
any section in the United States
Bond Between City and State
State and city are linked by common
bond and the highest tribute that can
be paid to the agricultural worth of
the Omaha territory is statement of
the fact that the farm implement job
bling trade of Omaha for the year 1909
aggregated $12,OOO,OOO Think Of
the significance of such a vast outlay
In tools for farming. Think of the
crop output that must come from a
district that has use for such an array
of implements. Many other elements
besides agriculture that enter into
Omaha's triumph as a city, yet agri-
culture is the cornerstone, and it
should be remembered that no coun-
try as a whole ever fourished where
agriculture languished, and no coun-
try ever languished where agriculture
flourished.
The entire jobbing trade of Omaha
for 1909 totalled $115, $4,000, and
present indications denote that when
the figures for 1910 are cast up next
January a substantial increase over
last year will be shown.
Omaha sold nearly $5,OOO,O0O
worth of automobiles last year
$4,50O,00O, to be exact, and the trade
thus far in 1910 shows a strong uplift
over last year. Grocery sales for 1909
amounted to the enormous sum of
$13, 100000, which fact bears witness
that Omaha provides food for a wide
circle of good eaters. Dry goods trade
to the extent of $6,000,OOO last year
compares favorably with the same
trade in many larger city and proves
that Omaha is rapidly gaining as a dry
goods supply point. In fact, there has
within recent years been a remarkable
growth in Omaha's dry goods trade,
the improvement in that line being
more marked, perhaps, than in almost
any other, with the possible exception
of automobiles. There was a time
when the western retailer, quite con-
tent to buy his grocery stock in
Omaha, felt that his dry goods must

organization of Omaha as a municipal
ity dates from the spring of 1857, at
which time the first roster Of city Off
GERS were elected. This roster follows:
Mayor, Jesse Lowe; recorder, H. c..
Anderson; assessor, Lyman Richard
son; city marshal, ]. A. Miller; board
of aldermen, A d. Jones, T. g. Good
will, G. c. Bovey, II. H. Visscher,
Thomas Davis, William U. Wyman,
William N. Byers, C. H. Downs and
Thomas O'Connor.
The first meeting of the city council
was held on the afternoon of March s.,
1857. 1t was a crude municipality
and required much of the time of the
officers and aldermen, because obsta-
Giles were numerous and resources
were limited. At one time back in the
late sos the city government was
without funds and a system of city
scrip was used. But those hardy pio-
neers, ever guided by that "get-what-
you-go-after" spirit, kept faithfully
pegging away, working for the inter
ests of Omaha as faithfully as though
the municipality were a private bust
ness enterprise of their own.
Nebraska was a territory back in
those days, and it frequently became
necessary for the city government to
send representatives to the national
capital to appeal to the powers there
for action.
Many occasions arose where the ter
ritorial pioneers felt it necessary to
call upon the great father" in Wash
ington for action in favor of the future
Nebraska metropolis. For example, on
March 80, 1859, in the midst of
money stringency that would have dis
couraged a less resolute lot, DR..
George l.. Miller was elected to pro-
coed to Washington for the purpose of
asking congress to reimburse Omaha
as a municipality, for money expended
on the first Nebraska capitol building.
Incidentally, while on the trip, the city
council instructed DR.. Miller to also
ask that the surveyor generals office
be located in Omaha; that Omaha
should be made a military depot for

ED result of location and en-
vironment. The metropolitan Omaha
of today is but the natural evolution
of the Omaha Of yesterday. That yes
terday's Omaha was a crude, roughly
hewn frontier river town, but from
the very day back in the sos, when
the st. Nicholas hotel, ugly and glar-
ing with its shiny log walls, came into
existence as the first house built in the
settlement" the destiny of future
achievement in city building was a GER
tainty. There had to be, in the very
nature of things, a city somewhere
along the Nebraska shore OF the Mis-
sour river. 1t might have been Belle
vue or Florence instead of Omaha, and
the advantage of location would have
still been preserved, but it 80 hap
pened that the early settlers of Omaha
were endowed with the "get-what-you-
go-after" spirit to such extent that
they outdistanced other aspiring buds.
So there is a reason for Omaha's
existence, and a reason for Omaha's
greatness as a commercial, Industrial
and financial center. If you would &C
quaint yourself in further detail take
a map Of the United States and study
the strategic location OF Omaha. Note
the vast territory for which Omaha Is
the natural supply point. Note the
rich western half Of the peerless agri-
cultural state of Iowa, which is
Omaha's next door neighbor. Ponder
a moment over what this means and
you will understand clearly, If you do

The Crisis.

Forever ours for good or i'll, on us
the burden lies;
Gods balance, watched by, angels, is
hung across the skies.
Shall Justice, Truth, and Freedom turn
the poised and trembling scale,
Or shall the Evil triumph, and robber
Wrong prevail?
Shall the broad land DER which our
flag in starry splendor waves
Forego through us It's freedom, and
bear the read of slaves?
Great heaven Is this our mission? End
in this the prayer and tears,
The toll, the strife, the watchings of
our younger, better years?
Still as the Old World rolls in light,
shall ours in shadow turn,
A beamless chaos, cursed of God,
through outer darkness borne?
Where the fair nations looked for light,
blackness in the air?
Where for words Of hope they listened.
the long wall of despair?
The Crisis presses on us; face to face
with us it stands,
With solemn lips of question, like the
Sphinx in Egypt's sands
This day we fashion Destiny, our web
of Fate we spin;
This day for all hereafter choose we
holiness or sin;
Even now from starry Gerizim, OF
Ebal's cloudy crown,
We call the dews of blessing or the
bolts of cursing down.
By all for which the martyrs bore
their agony and shame;
By all the warning words of truth with
which the prophets came;
BY the Future which awaits us; by all
the hopes which cast
Their faint and trembling beams across
the blackness of the Past;
And by the blessed thought Of Him
who for earth s freedom died,
o my people! o my brothers let us
choose the righteous side.

Pine Grove Hotel

r. P. Walker, who as.been running
the Pine Grove hotel, has quit that
well known holstery, and will devote
his time exclusively to teaming. The
hotel is therefore offered for rent. 1t
is by far the best appointed house on
the way to the mountains. 1t is built
entirely of brick, with bath room, bar,
and 10 sleeping rooms. Also ample
accommodation for stock. With 40
acres under cultivation, including
vineyard and orchard. An excellent
opportunity for some enterprising
man. For particulars enquire at the
Jackson Real Estate office, or the

In the far east the case is exactly TIE
same. Japan, penned in its narrow
islands, with nearly $4,000, 900 of war
like people crowded into 1901 square
miles of land, is already overhowing
into Korea.
If it is possible to understand the
almost irresistible impulse which
drives the Japanese to seek outside
their present boundaries less
crowded home, let it be remembered
that, if Formosa be counted with the
other Japanese islands, the density of
population in the island empire is al
most the same as in Germany.
1t is true, then that after all the
talk of commercial supremacy, nation
al honor and high ideals, the real cause
of the waiting war may be found in
the primal instinct of swarming from
the overcrowded hive? Is racial fer
tility at the bottom of the coming
struggle?

son, who met with a serious ac-
cident about year ago, while blasting
IN gravel mine in search for gold, at
which time his eye was injured, was
operated upon by DR.. Boyson Sunday
last, and cataract removed. short
time the eye ball dissolved and ran out
and the patient was compelled to
undergo second operation, where.
upon the entire eye was removed, and
back in the socket of the eye was
found good sized piece of slate. The
slate was solidly imbedded in closed
tissues, as the rest of the tissue parts
seemed to be in a healthy condition,
the doctor expressed himself as being
satisfied that there would be no COM
plications set in to prevent the
patient s full recovery.

Lonesome.

A poker player died, and went TO
heaven. He wandered about on the
golden streets and in the beautiful
buildings, but was unable to find a
"game," and became lonesome. He
went to St. Peter, and said: "Old
man, I'm going to leave this place and
go to hades." St. Peter was shocked
but finally consented to leave the man
go. But he gave the poker player a
round trip pass between heaven and
the other place. The poker player
went to hades, and the first thing he
saw down there was big game. He
tried to get into the game, but, since
he had no money, he could find no
place at the table. Finally, he re-
turned to the table with big wad of
money. Where did you get it?" the
other players shouted. II sold my
pass" he said, and he grinned con-
tendedly.

STATISTICS
A Bit of Information on
COnditins of Other
Countries

In 1900 France had 1000, 900 more
population than Germany. At that
time both nations occupied approx
mately the same amount of territory,
about 200, 900 square miles each. The
density of population in France was
134 to the square mile; in Germany it
was 113.
In the last hundred years the fer
tility of the German nation has been
so great that, in spite of the fact that
it has sent more than 5000, 600 emf
grants to the United States and mil
lions more to other foreign countries,
it has increased its home population to
Ga, 900, 600, nearly triple the number in
1900. During the same period the
population of France, which has sent
practically no immigrants abroad. has
increased by less than so per cent.
And, it should be remembered, in spite
of Alsace and Lorraine, the territory
of the two nations has remained prac-
tically the same, approximately 200,
600 square miles each.
At present the density of population
in German Empire is 1903 to the square
mile. What that means may be
grasped by considering that if the
United States was as thickly populated
as Germany is at the present time we
should have 9OO,OOO,OOO people-ter
times our present population. In Other
words the present density of popula
tion in the United States is only thirty
to the sqaure mile.
