STEADY GROWTH
OF LINCOLN NOT
HALTED BY WAR
Reconstruction Era Will See
Ten Million Dollars In Build
ing Projects Completed,
Including State Capitol.

4 Having steadily expanded at the
rate of 100000 a year in new
downtown business projects the last
five years, Greater Lincoln is emery
ing into the reconstruction era fol-
lowing the war with a $4,000 900
program of development that will
add not only immediate resources
but will place the city in a position
to receive and take care of what is
expected to be phenomenal in
crease in population.
Close to the business section of
the city on the south is about to
arise a $5,000,000 capitol building
that will be an honor to the state
and q monument that will play a
big part in development Of the city.
Greater Lincoln plans call for a
handsome boulevard system to con-
meet the capitol grounds with the
University of Nebraska, half mile

an additional 2,404 in the student Of
ficers' training corps, making total
at the university OF S,O33 students.
On account of war conditions the
last two years, which took its full
quota of masculine college material
and kept the prospective college
women at home, it is impossible to
compute a normal college attend
ance. The $500 students in 1918
was an increase of 224 over 1917.
Other Schools Grow
Three UNCONVENTIONAL colleges in
the suburbs in 1918 had an enroll
ment of 1909 students, or an in
crease of 456 over the previous year.
The scho'ls with their enrolment
and increase, are:
Nebraska Wesleyan, 854, with an
increase of 274.
Union college, 49s, an increase
of 90.
Cotner university, 357, an increase
of 90.
Under the 100000 bond issue
program, to be carried out immed-
lately, six of the 10 public school
buildings will be replaced with mod
ern structures, two $475,000 Junior
high schools will be constructed,
and four schools will be remodeled
and enlarged.
The same program calls for a
100000 outlay in shops at the Lin
coin high school, to provide the most
up-to-date courses in industrial and
vocational education.
Free From Debt.
The city of Lincoln has no bonded
indebtedness. 1t has always paid its
expenses as it went along, and has
kept fully abreast of progress in ad-
ministrative measures.
Within the city are 90 miles OF
paved streets, with 100000 paving
program for the current year.
The city has big public park
easily accessible from all sides. This
park is being rapidly extended year
by year, and now includes NUM-
cipal golf course.
A water department municipality
owned cost the city 1924 ,527.42,
and it is now estimated to be worth
$3,50O,0O0.
There are 1894 water patrons
and the annual consumption is
l,491,747,0O0 gallons. Protection
against fire is amply provided by
1914 hydrants scattered through the
city. There are 109.Sl miles of wa
ter mains.
Own Electric Plant.
The city light department, which
is in competition with private cor
poration, has 1900 electric consum-
ers, besides handling 627 residence
street lights, 302 ornamental four and
fve-light clusters in the business
section and 120 similar lights in the
residence district. The plant has IS
miles of poles.
The Lincoln Gas and Electric
company has 1906 miles of gas
mains, and 1862 consumers, be-
sides $3.50 electric light patrons and
o5 miles of poles. The gas con
sumption is 2O,OOO,OOO to 25,OO0,OOO
feet a month.
A well equipped fire department
maintains four stations in the city.
and Is men are employed in a dou-
ble-shift system.
Vital statistics for 1918 show a
birthrate of 1875 per thousand, and a
death rate of 1913 per thousand,
which included 263 deaths from

TURKS BLAME
MAH0METFORT The
LOSS OF The WAR
Turkish Mosques, Once Filled
With Worshippers, Now
Practically Deserted;
Huns Took Carpets.

Constantinople, May 5. (By
MaiD.-The religious Turk is very
much discouraged. The mosques
are not as we'll patronized as for
merry, for Mahomet is blamed for
the loss of the war. Turks whose
dogs were taken away from them
and dumped on an island in the
Marmora sea to starve with tens of
thousands of other Constantinople
mongrels some years ago see in
Turkeys present plight just judg-
ment from Mahomet. Those who
prophesied at the time that the
wholesale massacre of the dogs
would bring bad luck to Turkey are
now wagging their heads sagely and
recalling their prophecies.
The Mosque of Ahmed I is de-
serted. The Germans when they
left carried off all the precious rugs
and the faithful refuse to enter the
mosque on the ground that it has
been profaned and is unclean. More

Industrial Growth.

Compilation of business and finan-
cial statistics show Lincoln to have
practically doubled industrially in
the last five years.
Bank deposits which in 1914 were
$10,709,953 had grown to $20,060, DOC
in 1918, and bank clearings in the
same period leaped from $ll0, l4O, 6o3
to $227,7S0,463.
Financial institutions of the city
included four national and four state
banks, four trust companies, one
joint stock land bank and one saw
ings bank.
The eighteen diverging railway
lines out Of Lincoln in every direc-
ton have given the city's $50 manu-
featuring and jobbing establish
ments an opportunity to develop
trade territory that they have not
passed by.
Business Increases.
The amount of jobbing and
wholesale business increased from
$3S,13O,OO0 in 1914 to $74,S45,OOO in
1918, and in the same period manu-
featuring grew from $17,S50,0O0 to
S36,500000. Wholesalers have set
$1O0,O00,000 as the mark for 1919.
Postoffice receipts, another excel
lent barometer of community's
development, had increased from
$451 ,69l in 1914, to $657,57 in 1918.
Figures in specific trade lines
show:
Grocery and meat business,
$5,925,000.

the regents of the university have
inaugurated a 100000 extension
program in the development of the
100000 downtown campus. The
university has a 100000 college
of agriculture plant three miles from
the city campus, that will share in
all improvement programs.
Will Build Schools.
A 100000 bond issue has just
been voted and immediate abandon
ment of old school buildings and the
erection of new and modern struc-
lures that will care for the city's
needs for years to come will be
undertaken forthwith.
Erection of new downtown bust
ness blocks already planned call for
an outlay of 100000, and half a
dozen projects in the million-dollar
class are being contemplated.
Favored with l8 diverging rail-
road lines out of the city, Lincoln
manufacturing and jobbing. which
has doubled in volume the last five
years, has set its mark to beat all
past records.
With the industrial growth of the
city has come a steady increase in
population due to opportunities in
trades and in business lines and to
the desirability of the city as a
home for those of means, where
they can give their children every
thing necessary in the way of an ed
ucation.
University Growing.
The city has public school, COL
lege and university population of
over 10000, including ll,l40 enrolled
in the common schools in 1918.
The enrolment at the University
of Nebraska last year was 5000. and

than 800 deaths from cholera took
place in this mosque during the war.
The "Howling Dcrvishes" in par
ticular declare that there is no hope
for Turkey unless the Great Proph-
ct, Wilson" intervenes. Recently
the American Red Cross mission for
Roumania stopped off at Constan-
tinoplc and, while waiting for their
boat to coal, visited the "Howling
Dervishes."
With hot Goals in his mouth and
with high priests sticking knives
through their cheeks in time-hon-
ored fashion, the high priests called
down the blessings of Mahomet up
on America and maledictions upon
all the enemies of Turkey. A young
Turk translated the head howler's
lamentations and blessings.
Memet vi. the sultan, has not lost
faith in Mahomet, however. Each
Friday morning he visits the Yildez
mosque opray. His visit is cere
mony attended not only by thou
sands of Turkish onlookers and
guards but also by hundreds of al
lied officers all equipped with cam
eras of every size and description.
American army officers and Red
Cross girls now find it easy to visit
the mosques. ST. Sophia is open to
all corners and the American army
man is not forced even to take off
his shoes. He merely slips them into
pair of huge slippers and shuffles
about on the precious carpets which
are aligned in the general direction
of Mecca.

DEARTH OF LOCAL NEWS

J. Gus Lane, editor of the
Presho Herald, makes the follow
ing excuses for the lack of local
news in the last issue of his pa
per: If you miss the unusual
large amount of local news in
this issue that is generally to
be found in The Herald do not
get the idea into your bean that
that the religious editor has
been rehearsing the star role in
Rip Van Winkle this week.
There hasn't been a blooming
bloody thing stirring since SUM-
day evening when when the he passenger
highballed east with the excep-
ton of snow and not a dozen
farmers have been able to get in
to town so far this week.
At that, we trust you will find
this issue worth reading but
must solemnly warn you not to
start a fire in a stove with a
copy of it. The toll of lives lost
yearly through gaseous explos-
ions is too large as it is.
In order to give you what
reading matter this issue con-
tains we had to WELD the pitch
fork pretty steadily, so much so
that it was necessary to cover
the handle with asbestos.

HAAKON COUNTY RED
CROSS MAY BUILD
HEALTH CENTER

Since the close of the war
there has been a good deal of
discussion about the future of
the Haakon county Red Cross,
just as there has been discussion
of the future of the Red Cross
everywhere. Plans to build a hos
pital at Philip and plans for one
or more community houses in
the county were not received
with favor by northern division
head quarters at Minneapolis,
and there has been much corres-
pondence about these matters.
Lately disposition to allow
local management of Red Cross
affairs a little more lee-way is
apparent at Minneapolis. Re-
cent letter from the assistant
division manager suggests the
erection of a permanent Health
Center, and outlines it's possible
work. The whole matter is in
very formative stage, but
meetings will probably be called
soon for a discussion of the mat
ter. There is plenty of time for
Red Cross members to consider
the subject. Suggestions will be
welcome. Mrs. T. ]. Mcclure Of

DIES In RECENT STORM

The only loss of life SO far re-
corded In the late severe storm
in the central and western part
Of the state, was that of Mrs
Elizabeth Jessop, an elderly wo-
man residing near Presho. At
the height of the storm it is pre-
sumed that she attempted to
reach the house of her son a
short distance from her home,
but evidently becAxle confused
and wandered in the storm until
she sank down from exhaustion.
The temperature. was not low
enough at any time to cause any
great discomfort, but the aged
women evidently reached the IL
NIT of her strength in battling
with the drifting snow and
dropped down for her last sleep.
The body was found in short
time after she was missed from
her home, but attempts to re-
vive her were of no avail.

be glad to hear from anyone.
We quote from the letter of
the assistant division manager
as follows:
"A room or building in Philip
might develop by the Red Cross
as the center of the whole coun-
ty's activities. It could well serve
as a rest room for people coming
to town. Perhaps arrangements
could be made for mothers to
leave their babies with an atten-
-dant while they did their shop
ping. Literature might be
available there, along the lines
of health, for people to read
while they are waiting or rest
ing.
"Such a center might we'll be
the headquarters of the public
health nurse of the county. It
also be well for a supply of first
aid materials to be available
there in case of emergency or
accident.

the public health campaign are

and the conservation of child
life.

could be worked out with this

COTTONWOOD WOMAN
HANGS SELF

A tragedy was enacted at
Cottonwood Friday, when Mrs.
Elon Dahlberg took her own life.
The family has been residing
in that town for a good many
years past, Mr.. Dahlberg being
engaged in the hardware busi-
ness. Recently Mrs. Dahlberg's
health has not been the host
but was not such as to eause
any great alarm. Her sis<er ar
rived the day before tom Cen
terville, coming on hl soiicita-
tion. On Friday morning the
two had done the family wash
ing and Mrs. Dahlberg left the
house. In a few minutes her
sister, looking out through
window, saw her body hanging
from the rafters in a shed q
short distance from the house.
Help was quickly summoned but
death had resulted before she
could be cut down.
Funeral services were held at
Cottonwood Sunday, Rev. @. e.
Tell officiating.
Besides the bereaved husband.
she leaves six children, the youn-
gest three years of age.
