Dog Knows BAD From Good Coin.

the San Frauci - Chronlr.c, which,
with the cyactuoss of a banker, can
detect the difference between the ring
of a genuine and counterfeit coin. A
few weeks ago some hunters threw
some coins on the counter of John
Marshall's hotel. Marshall did not
quite like the sound of one Of tho dol.
lars. Calling in his dog. he placed
him on the counter. Tho dog care
fully picked up with his mouth four
genuine coins and took them to his
master, and left a counterfeit dollar
on the counter.
Hearing that his dogs ability was
questioned, Marshall put the animal
TO a series OF difficult tests recently
In the presence Of several coastslde
citizens. Not In a single instance did
tho wonderful dog fail to detect q
counterfeit coin. Tho final test was
TO nail a genuine and counterfeit dol.
lar In separate cigar boxes. After
shaking each box f%uriously, the dog
chewed open the box containing the
genuine coin and took II TO his mas

FL P.SI HIS Lia5EST TEIT ilI
B.a.5 BUSINESS j. SOUTHWEST

In one of the most desirable To-
cations on FL Paso's new White
Way''-just next door to the Cham
Der OF Commerce-are the sales
room and factory Of the FL Paso
Tent & Awning Company, the most
widely known and successful es-
tabiishment OF the kind in the
southwest Through the energy
and enterprise OF H ). Collins, the
proprietor. the business of this
house has been extended through
out New Mexico, Arizona, West
Texas and considerable sections OF
Old Mexico.
Mr.. Collins established the FL
Paso Tent & Awning Company in
1907. The business was started
IN a very modest way on South FL
Paso street, and from the begin
ming its growth was constant and
rapid The management was thor
oughiy familiar with all the intri-
cate details OF a rather complicat-
ed industry; only first class work
was turned out. and every Gus
toner was made to feel that the
very fullest value was being given
for every cent spent The result
OF this straightforward business

policy is that the FL Paso Tent &
Awning Company has won a place
of recognized leadership in its line
throughout this part of the coun-
try.
About a year ago the FL Paso
Tent & Awning Company moved
into its larger and more attractive
quarters at 314 san Francisco
street where It has a modern dis
play front a well-arranged dis
play room and a large and thor
Oughly equipped factory. The
standing of this house in FL Paso
may be suggested by the state
ment that il has placed at least
ninety percent Of the awnings now
in use here It is also equipped
for the complete Quitting of
camps of all kinds, besides carry
ing the largest and most complete
line of porch, lawn and camp fur
niture in the southwest. 1t is ex-

Heavy Snow Falls
Over Most of State

Although IL is the last OF March. winter
continues in many parts of the state
without much sign of abatement, accord
ing to reports to the railroads.
All through the north part of Nebraska
Monday night there was from one to four
inches OF snow and in many places il
drifted considerably. Temperatures got
down as low as "a above. zero. on the
Northwestern's Bonesteel branch, a snow
pillow went out ahead of the passenger
train, having been run through to VIM
ner, fifty miles. In some places drifts
three and four feet deep were encoun-
tered, much Of the snow being that that
had fallen during the previous twelve
hours
Through the north part of the state the
snow storm abated during the night, but
the wind continued to- blow. Country
roads were reported TO have been drifted
so full that they were impossible.
\ Along the Burlington, all over the wy
more, McCook and Sterling divisions, in
Guiding practically all of southern and
western Nebraska and northern Kansas
and eastern Colorado and Wyoming, the
snowstorm was general from yesterday
afternoon until this morning, when the
weather cleared. The snowfall ranged
from one to five inches.

HOUSE PASSES APPROPRIATION

With the passage OF the state hospital
appropriation bill in tho house, Omaha
people are anticipating little further
trouble with this measure. This is the
bill that appropriates $4,000 for the erec-
ton of a state hospital In connection with
the College Of Medicine Of the University
of Nebraska. 1t is TO DO built, II the bill
finally passes the senate and is signed
by the governor. on the site OF the Coll
lege of Medicine In Omaha, Forty-second
and Harvey streets.
The University of Nebraska bought this
ground several years ago for about
10000. The ground today is estimated
by real estate men to be worth $4,000. as
values have rapidly increased, and build
ing operations have become active in
that direction. new medical school
building has been built on this fine spot
and was dedicated little over a year
ago,
The contemplated state hospital on this
ground is to be used for free surgery and
treatment in the cases of patients who
could not afford TO take treatment else
where, or Tor others who cared to go
there. At the same time. it would be
understood that treatments given thene
and surgery performed would be used
also as demonstration work before the
classes of medical students attending this
State University Medical school.
Patients could be brought to this in
stitutlon from any part Of the state, as
it would be state institution. They
could be treated free of charge, while
the state would be compensated in the
clinical training these operations would
furnish the state medical students.

BRINGS RESPONSIBILITY WITH 1T.

The voting of bonds by the residents of Road District
No. l, last week, brings a load of responsibility for the
road commissioners. Theirs is no enviable task. The ex-
pendlture of the money SO that it will be placed where most
needed or where 1t will serve the greatest number of peo-
pie, its apportionment among the several parts of the dis
trlct, and finally the getting of value received for every
dollar expended, will tax the energies of the commission
es and entail constant watchfulness.
linen tne KIND OF construction to employ presents an
other problem. The services of a good engineer will have
to be secured, and use should be made Of the experience of
the engineer in charge Of the state roads as much as pos
slble. The commissioners expect to begin work at as early
a date as possible. SO long as rains continue to fall to set
tie the new roads they will not have much trouble. After
they cease, however, the dust problem will be most serious.
A coating of crushed stone, oil or straw might be effective
~ used as dust abolishers. Perhaps all three should be
tried on small stretches, all on the same road to see which
answers the purpose best, Or which will serve the purpose
with the greatest economy. However great the task, the
roads must be put in shape to withstand the heavy traf-
fc during the next marketing season.
