MEN ARE WANTED TO CUT ICE
Big Companies to Put large Forces
to Work Today.
ICE Is HIHB INCHES THICK
Companies Hope 30 Harvest n Full
Crop ~ the Cold weather WIN
Only Continue Long
Enough.

Approximately 100 men win be needed
for the local ice harvest today. This
number will be increased by 500 Thurs
day. unless the weather should turn
warm
The Cudahy Packing company has
started marking off its Ice fields on Sey-
mour lake, at Ralston. Swift n Co., and
the omaha Ice and Cold storage company
began marking ice at Cutoff lake. All
three companies plan to start the mar
vest today. The Omaha Ice and Cold
Storage company will need about $50 men;
Swift Il Co., 200 men. and the Cudahy
Packing company, $50 men.
Armour & Co. are clearing the snow
from their ice at Memphis, expect to
mark it TO-DAY and to begin cutting
Thursday. They will need from 800 to
$50 men.
Ice on Cutoff lake is eight to nine
inches thick. When it is marked the air
will enter the Crevices made by the pillow
and add one to two inches to the thick
ness. The ice at Memphis is not so thick,
by an inch, as the Cutoff ice, so Armour
& Co. are a day behind the others with
their ice harvest operations.
Several smaller companies are busy
marking on cutoff lake and basins ad-
joining the lake.
a full ice crop for omaha and South
Omaha is about 400, 600 tons, the capacity
of the storage houses. This year. on ac-
count of the low water, the concerns
operating on Cutoff lake fear they will
not get their houses filled unless the
weather allows two cuttings of ice.

Memphis, where twelve inch ice is being
cut. Much of this is being stored in the
Ice houses at the points named, at Lin
coin and in the big new $4,000 ice house
at Gibson.
The Northwestern is working as many
men as it can handle on the reservoirs at
Belle Fourche, Rapid City, S. ID. and at
Valentine and Long Pine, Neb, where
large ice houses are located. The present
cutting Of South Dakota ice is said to
be about fifteen inches in thickness,
while that being cut i'm Nebraska is from
twelve to fourteen inches.

JUDGES TO TRY A new PLAN
Judge of Criminal Court Will Try
Civil Cases and Vice Versa.
HOPE TO EXPEDITE MATTERS
Under Present system Cases often
Do Not Reach Trial for Year
May Now lie Reached
in Six Months.

Abandonment Of the custom Of having
all Douglas county district court criminal
cases tried before the presiding Judge, a
custom which has been in vogue for
years in the district court, has been de-
cided upon by the judges. Beginning
with the February term of court new
plan will be put In effect which the
judges believe viii result in less waste II
time and bring cases to trial more eN-
peditously than in years,
Criminal cases will be tried by the
three regular law division judges as well
as by the Judge of the criminal court and
the judge of the criminal court will try
civil as well as criminal cases.
Heretofore il has been the business of
the presiding judge to assign cases for
trial to the judges OF the law division and
to try all criminal cases i'm his capacity
Of judge of the criminal division. When
there have been no criminal cases ready
for trial the criminal division Judge has
had practically nothing to do except at
tend to his duties as presiding judge.
Frequently parties and attorneys In civil
suits have been anxious to get to trial,
but unable to do so because all the law
courts have been busy and the criminal
division judge has been trying no civil
cases At other times no civil cases have
been ready for trial and the law division
judges have been idle while the criminal
division judge has been swamr'd with
work
When the new plan is put in effect
criminal and civil law cases will be as
signed Unfortunately to all the law
courts and the crimal court.
All the judges will cooperate to secure
greater expedition i'm the courts. At
torneys' pleas for continuances on trivial
grounds will not be listened to. Cases
will be forced to trial as soon as the
issues are made UP and the judges Will
