Men Seek to Locate
University in City
Proposal to Raise Fund of $4,000
with Which to Add Two Blocks
to Campus.
CFrom a Staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, July 3O.-(Special Telegram.)-
To block future attempts TO remova 1the
University of Nebraska to the state farm
grounds citizens Of Lincoln propose to raise
$685. 900 with which to buy two blocks of
ground east of the present site Of the
campus upon which a new Ss5, 900 building
will be constructed.
A resolution will be introduced at the
meeting of the city council Monday after
noon by Alderman Thomas H. Pratt APP
propriating $4,000 from the city funds for
the purchase of the land. The only proviso
attached to the gift in the resolution is
that the university be permanently located
at its present site. Accompanying the
resolution was a letter from j. e. Miller
and other prominent business men guaran-
teelng that they would raise $4,000 II the
council would appropriate the sum named
in the resolution.
Although predictions are rather hasty, a
careful poll OF the council Saturday night
revealed that those in favor of the resolu-
ton already have a majority of the votes
and little trouble is anticipated in passing
the resolution.
The movement has its foundation in the
work Of j. e. Miller, who has labored hard
for the appropriation. Mr.. Miller said
Saturday night that 1t was simply an
attempt to show that the university was
appreciated. The appropriation, II passed
will insure plenty Of ground for the Uni
versity of Nebraska

DRY FARMING CONDITIONS
North and south Platte Valleys Are
Spotted" as TO Crop
Yield.

SUTHERLAND, Neb., July SO.-(special.)
1t is now known to a certainty that nu-
merous fields OF corn in the dry-farming
sections will fail TO yield a crop this sea-
son. Some of the farmers failed to raise
a wheat or oat crop, and have been hoping
for rain to make the corn. In these neigh
borhoods where there is a crop shortage
all along the line, there will be little grass
for hay or range. This condition does not
prevail generally about the country. but
in spots. There are some pretty fair fields
of corn where showers OF rain fell, and the
crops will be spotted" The valleys of the
North and South Platte rivers are irrigated
hero to a considerable extent, and as there
has been nearly enough water the crops
under irrigation will make fair show
ing The hay crop will be light.
