the university deplored the loss to the
farmer that viii eyentuate from the burn
ing OF such valuable soil fertilizer. He
stated that all the refuse and manure
OF the yards could be used within a
radius OF ten miles from Omaha. Thirty
miles from the Gate City. he said, the
farmers along the railroads would be
able to dispose of it all.
Regent W. G. whitmore Of the state
university. in a letter of the same trend.
asked that some further means be taken
to awaken the farmer to the loss sus-
ltained In permitting the yards to burn
the waste material that would enrich the
soil a hundredfold.
The truth Of the matter. said one Of
the officials, is that the farmers are will
ing enough to profit by the offer of the
yards company to give away the manure
and refuse. but the railroads have been
unable to quote a rate sufficiently low

the offer. ~

turned from Lincoln. where they had
been to examine the records Of the house

a report Of their findings to Mayor p j.
Trainor and City Treasurer John Gillin.
Later the mayor declared that the find
ings of Deputy Treasurer Roggen were
practically In accord with the decision Of
the court.
THE matter is more serious than ap-
pears on the face of It," said Deputy
Treasurer Roggen after his arrival at
the city hall yesterday evening.
Those who are acquainted with the
charter say that the whole business can
be knocked out section by section. In
event Of this the city will be put to IL

primaries.

itary condition OF the canal zone, where
he said yellow fever was becoming a bug
bear of the past and stegomias were at
q premium.
Mr.. Whitmore said that the recent
