PARTY MUDDLES
in NEBRASKA
Republican Convention VIII
See Bitter Renewal
Of Warfare

Special to The Tribune.
LINCOLN, NEB., July 29.-'EX
tremely muddled' are the two word
that best describe the political SIT
uation in Nebraska on the V Of thu
state conventions, which are to nee
tomorrow to draft the party plat
forms, reorganize the state commit
tees and take other measures prelimi
nary to entering upon the fall cam
paign. The state tickets and othel
| nominations We're made in the pri
maries last spring.
The Republican convention, which
will meet in this city, will see a bit
ter renewal of the warfare between
the standpatters led by Victor Rose
water and the progressives under the
leadership OF Congressman George w
Norris. 1t promises to be a fight tc
a finish for the control of the state
organization. What the result will
De no one can foretell with certainty.
Either faction may indorse the state
ticket as it stands, claiming it as its
own, or either may bolt and file a
new list of candidates by petition.
Whichever course is pursued will
still leave the situation up IN the air
so far as the dispute owe presiden,
tial electors is concerned.
The outlook for harmony in the
Democratic state convention, which
will assemble in Grand Island is not
much brighter than that of the Re-
publicans. The convention is con-
fronted with the prospect Of a bitter
fight arising from the charge made
by the Harmon Democrats that the
bryan followers have attempted to
read them out Of the party. Inc trou'
Bile was started several weeks ago by
the discovery of a circular letter said
to have been sent broadcast by Tom
Allen, Bryan's brother-in-law, in
which a vigorous attack was made up.
on the present Democratic state COM
mittee. The circular appealed to
Bryan Democrats to drive nom con-
troll all who did not favor Wilson's
nomination. The attack was looked
upon as coming direct from Bryan
himself.

Paying For /. Bird. In Africa.

In most parts Of Africa the native
bridegroom has to pay the father of
the bride in kind for his wife. In the
case of a regular marriage the amount
due to the father varies in accordance
with the sex of the first child born, a
girl being of less value than q boy.
The payments consist Of cattle. sheep.
hoes, spears. perhaps. and sometimes
other useful articles. The final pay
ments are often not completed until
years after the marriage takes place.
and the bridegroom Is considered fair
prey by all the brides relations. This
results in endless disputes. Payments
made are often repudiated by the re-
cipient. The amount agreed upon is con-
stantly matter for argument. and ar
gument ends in fighting. raids on one
another and sometimes a long drawn
out feud.

ton them.
The plan OF the place seems to be.
10 have a border of forest trees about
the outside of the block for protection.
inside Of this there are the fruit trees
and the garden, and last but not least
S a border OF hardy perennial shrubs
such as spirea anthonie waterea
hydeHangea %piniculata, grandaflora
queenabunda, syringea or mack Co.
ange, and spirea b.lardea, and where
the walk goes cut to town there is
an arbor covered by a vine known
under various names. such as wood
bine, Virginia creeper, and amphilop-
sis veithii.
A person visiting this place would
almost forget they were on the prair.
les and imagine that they were In
some southern bower if it were not
for the delightful scent of the ozone
in the air that serves as a constant
reminder that we are in North Da-
kOta.
This has all been made possible be-
aus a man tried to do 1t and has
succeeded. The Loercl Land Com
pany, of which Mr.. Loerch is man.
ager, farms twenty-five hundred acres
of land. They have in three hundred
sixty acres of wheat and among other
hings has one piece OF oats that part
of it will make, according to conse.v-
alive estimates, one hundred bushels
per acre. This piece was put in on
the rotation plan following corr and
potatoes. There are twelve hundred
acres of flax as fine as one would
care to see. The barley will make
forty to fifty bushels per acre, and
from the outlook the speltz will do
even better.
The man that owns this place is
sure that any "a can do what he has
done if they will only work. Besides

of Mr.. Loerch but he is mentioned
only to show what can be done b!
any ~persevering citizen of the north
west. What he has done others ca
do.
When Mr.. Loich came to Steele
and bought the place that is now hi!
home it was a piece Of raw prairie
Five yeas ago there was not a sprie
on the land and Mr.. Loerch gave him
| self the task of raising trees or q
piece CT raw prairie where his neigh
bols told him that it was useless tC
try such a thing. 1t had been tried
before and proved a failure In all
cases unless one irrigated. and irriga'
ton would cost too much. The task
was not one Tor a man who was easily
dis'learteneG or che that would not
try new methods where the old ones
had failed. His tree planting was
considered a sort of joke and n we'll
meaning but muchly mistaken old man
said:
"We!l he a plant trees If he
wants to. He is Just doing it because
he is a land maj and wants to show
his prospective customers that ne has
planted trees. He a show them the
same thing every year. for no one has
ever made trees live on these prairies
without irrigation and nc one ever
will. If the good Lord had nave want.
ed trees here he would have put them
here. If all those men who had lived
their lives in the state had found tree
and fruit culture a failure how could
one expect an office man from another
state to come out and show them how
to do it." The very logic of the thing
was wrong. 1t was an impOssibility.
1t could not be done, but paradoXica!
it may seem it has been done.
The plan proved good. The prairies
We're made to blossom again and the
voice of the false prophet and the
murmurings of the skeptlcal were
silenced. 1t has been proven beyond
a shadow Of a doubt that trees can be
on the Missouri Slope and that
they can be raised! without irrigation.
There are all sorts Of trees that
one would expect to see in any Q
