eral Of the Catholic diocese of st.

OF them merely leaving words of sym
pathy for the elder Mrs. Hill and her
children.
Following the simplicity which the
family know would be the desire of
Mr.. Hill, the request was made that
no flowers or floral offerings be sent
to the house. Tuesday, at 2 p. M, at
the residence, an opportunity was CIV
on the veteran employees Of the Great
Northern Railway company to pay
their respect and take last farewell
OF their old employer.

DA|RY|NG IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in a highly
dourishing condition and is bound In
Q very short time to become much
more important. The war has created
q great demand for that article, and
its use abroad has given it a lot of
useful advertising. The article known
as Canadian cheese is now sought not
only by the soldier in the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
who, having used it, 10 quick to ap-
preciate its value. This means that
after the war there will be demand
created for it that would not other
wise have been. UP to the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply, but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth it is hoped
that this will be met. AS matter OF
course the prices are high, and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there is every prospect of an ex-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
edly be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making of cheese, the
feed and the cool nights. two things
essential, and in time 1t is bound to
become one of the finest cheese coun-
tries Of the continent.
The lower foothills of Alberta, used
only at the present time as ranges or
for no purpose, will in time produce
cheese in great quantities, and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
lands Of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping Of milk and cream and
cheese, and that Is great thing for
the industry, especially when COM
bined with possibilities of cattle feed
such as exist on tho long slopes from
the Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct Of farming, is
an exceedingly good one, and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro-
duced, coupled with the high prices
realized, make this industry very prof
table.
One Of the first thoughts that occur
to the mind of the average prospective
settler is the likelihood of suitable
markets. In this connection the fol-
lowing table will be illuminating. It
is supplied by the P. Burns company,
packers and exporters, of Calgary, and
shows the average reonthly price paid
for hogs for the six years 1910 to 1915
inclusive. When one considers the low
initial cost of the land and the small
overhead cost of maintenance and
feed, these prices challenge compari-

There are 1859 savings accounts

This means per capita deposit for

The accounts included in this sur.

number of accounts compared with
the population of Greater Omaha

County Assessor is
Correcting His Figures

Because of an error in footings, a
slight revision is being made in the
Douglas county 1916 assessment re-
port.
The report, as submitted, shows a
decrease in the value of improvements
upon city lots. As matter of fact
there has been substantial increase.
and the mistake was due to the in
GLIDING of some of the improvement
valuations in the wrong column.
The report is being revised to cor
rect the error, and the new figures
will then be forwarded to Lincoln.
