TEST CORN IN INCUBATORS
Mechanical Chicken Factory Likely
to Be Put to New Use.
GEORGE H. LEE FATHERS PLAN
Points Out that Temperature of the
IncuBatOrs is Kept Just Right to
Get Best Results in the
seed Corn Tests.

George II. Lee has jumped into the game
OF helping solve the seed corn problem and
has discovered that his Mandy Lee incu-
batoTs are Just the thing in which to test
the seed corn at home. As nearly every
prosperous farmer has an Incubator. he
may not only hatch his eggs, but during
the time of Incubation he may test about
five patches OF seed corn in the same in
cubator. The temperature Is tust right
and there is plenty of moisture in the in
cubators to make the corn sprout.
Never has crusade OF any. kind been
started in Omaha which has so thor
oughly been taken up all over the state
as the campaign for better seed corn. 1t
is finding a responsive chord in all sec
tions of Nebraska and bankers, farmers,
grain dealers creamery men and the press
are all lending all possible aid in securing
as much publicity as possible for the cam
paign, tH
Where can we get seed corn?'
This is the question which is now being
asked Hundreds OF times all over the state.
1t is not the purpose of the publicity bu-
reau of the Commercial club to advertise
any special growers of seed corn but the
tests made by the club show that there is
considerable good corn to be had There
is considerable amount of 1908 corn other
than that held by the seed houses, but in
answering the inquiries the publicity
bureau says;
Pointers for Corn Growers.

neighbors IL possible or select every ear
planted from your own corn by the germ-
nation test. 1t is better than sending away
for seed, as 1t Is adapted to the locality
In which II Is to be planted. The corn
plant like horse, must be acclimated,
and corn from one part of the state may
not be adapted to another part. Always
get seed corn In the ear, as it is easier to
tell Just what is being secured"
Tested seed corn is being sold for from
81 to $3.50 per bushel in small quantities
by the seed houses and farmers who make
a speciality OF selling corn for seed. Tests
Of some of this dorm made by the Com
meroial club show it to be excellent seed
testing from Ss to 80 per cent
Bankers continue to take the gravest in
terest in the seed corn situation. F. M.
Castetter, president of the banking house
of A. Castetter of Blair, says:
"A critical period in the agricultural his
tory OF Nebraska is at hand. 1t involves
the selection or the securing of seed corn
for the crop OF 1910. The failure or sue

UNION PACIFIC CONTRACT LET
New Headquarters Will Be Built by
ThOmpson-Starrett Company.
BUILDING PRICE TO BE 1888, 900
Philip Hickey, Young Man of 80,
Will Have Charge of the Com
structiOn, which is to Re-
gin Soon as Possible.

New headquarters for the Union Pacific
railroad in Omaha are to be built by the
" Thempson-StRrrett 8 stfTct'on company,
Of Chicago, builders''of the new Brandeis
theater. The contract calls for an expendi-
ture OF 1888, ,OOo, which is SSSg,OOO more than
was originally intended for the new home
OF the Hartman lines.
The enormous sum appropriated by the
railroad is exclusive of the price OF the
land. which. in itself, is a valuable piece
OF property. The site is at the northeast
corner Of Fifteenth and Dodge streets, on
the location of the old Labor Temple
While the Union Pacific will go ahead
with its headquarters building and is also
a party to the erection Of the new Union
depot at Kansas City, the hope for en-
larged station facilities in Omaha seems to
be dwlndling somewhat. Three roads, it is
said, are holding back in ratifying the
proposed improvements.
Orders to raze the old Labor Temple and
the adjoining low buildings on Dodge
street will be issued early in March Bxca-

One Of the noteworthy features in the

a comparatively young man, Philip Hickey.
will have charge Of the big job. Ten years
ago he was a humble clerk in a grocery
store and began construction work as a

At 80 years of age Philip Hickey has in

gineer in the United States-certainly more
than any other of his age in the country.
He is now enroute TO Seattle to put the
finishing touches on a steel structure for
the American Steel and Wire company.
After he has approved the building and
formally turned 1t over to the company, he

 MT. Peoples purchased while Out side a large stock of new goods for his store here, which is now in bet ter shape than ever to cater to the needs of his many customers. A great improvement has been made to the store by the extension of the showroom to Third avenue. A large front has been put in on Third avenue and a fine sidewalk constructed along the front of the store

NOTHING NEW FROM
 |D|TAROD
PASSENGERS ON MINNEAPOLIS REPORT THERE ARE NO
 NO NEW FINDS.
SHORT LIFE IS PREDICTED
Considerable Stir at the New Dig oings Just Now on Account of Freighting and Building, But There Is No, a Very Large Payroll.

The steamer Minneapolis returned from the Iditarod on Wednesday af ternoon after a very successful trip She brought back with her a number of passengers, among whom were Billy Clark and F. R. Peoples. The consensus of the opinion of those returning appears to he that the camp is likely to be fairly good for a short time, the probability being that what claims are being worked now will be cleaned out by the end of next summer. There is other likely looking ground, however, which may be brought in with further de velopment, and this would prolong the life of the town.
 Many of the stampeders have re turned from the Kuskokwim, report ing good prospects but no real pay as yet discovered. Most of these men left for the purpose of stalking only and are returning with outfits. Out side of Flat creek 'n the Idtarod proper there has been no definite paystreak located.
 With the large amount of freight ing and building that is in progress there has been considerable work. but the number of men actually em. ployed on the creeks is very small It is probable that until the first of the year there will be Considera ble doing and business in the town consequently will be fair, but when the camp has reached it's normal basis and is entirely dependent on the payroll from the creeks there will be a decided slump unless some new producers are brought in.
 One man who shipped a quantity of lumber to the camp said that he never saw money quite so tight any where as it is in Iditarod. He could have sold his outfit for a fair figure if he had been willing to give time as the local mills do. but as he was not in position to do this he had to sacrifice it, the Iditaroders pre- ferring to buy the green lumber could get time on their purchases.

 MT. Morrison is well known in the camp, of which he has been a resident for number of years. All summer he has been engaged at the Berry X Hamil operations in the Bonnifield country. The bride has been in the camp for the past year She is native of Kentucky.
