Some of the disadvantages under which. the Omaha market labored when It first opened have been removed, | through persistent and well directed ef- fort, and its great benefit to the grain grower, because of the sharper competi- tlog created, has. lielped materially by win ning jublic sentiment to its support. Fair dealing, too, with as good prices generally as could be secured elsewbere, has helped e put the Omaba grain market among the leaders. capacity of 2,000 barrels of flour a day ‘Reports for 1907 from seventy-six manu-|be in operation early fn August.

This Is not anything Iike a com- plete showing of the milling industry in the state, but it will serve to indicate that a falr start has been made toward the position which Nebraska must eventually hold, by reason of Omaha becoming a great miliing center. “A great milling center?” somebody may ask, a trifle incredulously. 'No reason gainst such an eventuality at all. The Updike mill, with a capacity of 1,000 barrels @ day, is In operation, and a mill '"3 a in state bureau of | barrels a day. These will establishment of other or later, for Nebraska merit. Minneapolis and other northern millers long ago realized this, and for years they have been buying the Nebraska winter wheat to mix heavily with thely spring wheats, the mixture producing a flour for which Minnesota wheat has been getting all the credit, When durum wheat comes to its own In popular favor, as it must in time, because of Its inherent strength as a basis for prob- ably the strongest natural flour, Nebraska will be right there with a large gquantity of the best dutum grown. This wheat 1s bacoming more popular every year with a certain class of progressive farmers, =It produces heavily, and the recent ruling against bleached flours must inure to its advancement for milling purposes.

Macaront and Corn Products, A trip through a macaroni factory at St Paul, Minn, which has developed remark- ably within ten years proves there is no singlé reason why Omaha shouldn't have such factories in a growing ratio with the population of this midwest region. The workers take durum fiour and a small amount of water, two simple ingredients. Mixed, the dough is kneaded, and kneaded again, and then some more, hours; then is pressed by hydraulic power inte the shape so well known to all house- wives. Experts have found 500 ways of preparing macaroni for the table, and no better food, at reasonable a price, to be found in the whole list of things that people eat. be equally true oi durum bread to its merits is all that is needed and that will come In good time. Many of the mills of Nebraska are grind- ing product that goes to Mexico and as far away as Germany.

Mills In towns like Seward, Superior and others do a very large business with the southern states, with Mexico, and to some extent with South America. A mill at Adams, for ex- ample, ships corn products to Germany several times a year, in bulk, and the Ger- mans work it up to suit their trade. Mark the prediction: This business of corn milling will in the not distant future be & large industry in the state that, with comparatively small acreage, takes rank third to Iliinols and Towa for carn pro- duction—and corn of excellent quality, even better for milling than for stock feeding.

OITY ENGINEER | ROSEWATER DEAD (Continued from First Page.) ning of many public improvements and rall- roads in Colorade and South Dakota. The great Holsting works of the Homestake mine at Deadwood were constructed under his direction. The University of Nebraska conferred on Mr. Rosewater the degree of doctor of en- gineering, and he enjoyed the distinction of belng the only engineer who has cver recelved the degree from that university He was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and was honored by the soclety a number of times. CITY OFFICIALS ARE SHOCKED Mayor and Others Pay Tributes Man and Public Officer. Mayor Dahlman expressed great surprise and grief when informed of the sudden death of the city engineer, whom he ap- pointed and maintained in office over the strenuous objections of his city council. “Mr. Rosewater was a man for whom I always had the greatest respect, not only as & man, but as an oficlal, and his death will be a distinct loss to Omaha,” said the mayor. “I never questioned his honesty, | his capability or his unswerving adherence | to ‘what he considered right and I sincerely regret his death. I doubt if there is an- other man In his profession in the country who khows as much as Andrew Rosewater did of engineering matters and Omaha ought too be proud that he spent the greater part of his life here with us.” “Andrew Rosewater was \a man of un- questioned ability and ranked as high as | any. man in his profession in the country, said J. P. Crick, assistant city engineer, “and I considered it an honor to serve under him. He was as honest as a die, true to his friends to the last ditch, and no one gan question his abllity as an en- gineer." As soon as Mr. Crick ‘reuched his office | he ordered the entire department closed for to Expression of T. J. Flynn. “We had some little difficulties, con- fliets arising from the management of our departments, but I never questioned his fidelity and intention to always do what | was right,”” sald Thomas J. Flynn, street commisesioner, of Mr. Rosewater. “He made a good officlal and helped place Omaha on a high plane. Tribute by H. B. Burnam. City Attorney H. E. Burnam, in speak- ing of Andrew Rosewater, called to miud | the engineer's brother, Edward, and sald that the two were two of the greatest men Omaha ever saw. “Andrew FRosewater and Edward Rose- water were both men of a national reputa- tion, both were leaders In their line of endeavor and both, while they may have had thelr faults as all of us have, were true, honest and capable citizens,” sald Mr. Burnam. C. 0. Lobeek Knows Him Well. “We often differed as to policies, but it 4ld not. effect our soclal and friendly rela- tions, and during the last year especially we worked together in close harmony, sald City Comptroller C. O. Lobeck. “As far as abilty, Mr. Rosewater ranked as | { the best and in my visits to other cities I found that Omaha was often known be- cause of the Rosewaters—Edward and An- drew—{wo great men of ability.” Goodley Brucker Grieves “Pespite his faults, which all of us have, and the ditferences of opinion we had, I | always considered Andrew Rosewater as a | man of fidelity,” sald Goodley F. Brucker, councfiman from the Fifth ward. “The city engineer and 1 always got along all right, I recognized his position and training and his technical knowledge, and he was al- ways ready to give advice and point out what ought to be done and why certain things wanted could not be done. I regret his' death sincerely.” | | | | MAN CITY NEEDED FOR FUTURE Verdiet of iness Men Who Kmew Mr. Rosewater Best. That Andrew Rosewater was the man | the ¢ity needed to work out the engineering problems of the future in Omaha, and that his sudden death leaves a place hard to fill, i the verdict of Omaha business men, | who knew the engineer for many years. “Andrew Rosewater bullt with great fore- sight and the city has improvements wiich will do fos a municipality of 150,00 or Yn- larged will serve a city of 1,000,000, without changing the plans made by Rosewater,” s & common expression. Only yesterday I talked with him and told him I hoped for his re-election,” said Gould Diets. “Only vesterday I told a candidate who was circulating a petition to run againstMr. Rosewater, that he should get out, &s Andrew Rosewater was the man who, In the office of city engineer, | was needed by the future Omaha. The city is growing at a rapid rate. Mr. Rose water was an engineer of such ablity that Omaha needed him. What I said yester- day when It seemed possible to have him work with us, remains unchanged since his death.” Former Scnator J. H. Millard, president | of the Omaha National bank, said: "I have known Andrew Rosewater for a num | ber of years, heard much criticism of his public career and work, but knowing him and his methods, I never had my confl- | dence shaken In his integrity as a citigen, nor doubted his ability as an engineer." For' the firm, A. D. Brandels, of J. L.| Brandels & Sons, said: ““The death of An- drew Rosewater must come as a great . shock to the business community. As city engineer he contributed largely to the | growth of the city along broad lines. He was 3 man of positive \lews and strong per sonality and could not be moved from what he belleved to be right. His death takes from among us another of the ploneers who_are rapldly passing away. We will all teel his lo J. M. Guild, commisrioner of the Com- merclal club, sald: ‘1 sncerely hoped yes- terday, and 80 expressed mjself, for the ve-election of Andrew Rosewater to the office of city engincer.

Farmers, Relp ‘Wheat Profits. CROP CONDITION Migh Price Th Cause Big Acreage Glut in Market Next Year. WASHINGTON, April 17.—*There Is suffi- clent wheat In the country at normal prices to make bread for the Americans up to the time when the new crop comes In' de- clared Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to- day, “and those who attempt to keep prices up at present rates cxpect to get money out of the common people—the con- sumers. Becretary Wilson's statement was made in reply to criticisms of J. A. Patten of Chicago of the crop reports of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. Mr. Patten not only discredited the department's estimate of wheat crop, but said that the supply of wheat was scarcer than the government's estimate show. “The reporters of the Agriculture are farmers and know, Department of living on farms, it anybody knows, and have knowledge If anybody has knowledgo of the facts,” declared the secretary. “We cannot whistle these men down the wind. If we seek an honest class of com- munity and hesitate to take the words of the American farmers we will not estaplish truth by going to the gamblers. “The large majority of wheat has left continued the “A fictitlous price has been created. The farmers are not beneficiaries of such conditions. They will naturally plant more wheat and next year's crop is likely to be abnormally large, when the gamblers will not be in the market, and mischief will be done by disturbance of the crop system. In the corner of 188, whon the price of wheat was run up to $1.85, the price was depressed the following year below 80 cents, the result undoubtedly of the upsetting of the equilibrium of the normal eupply and demand." i secretary. Conditions Not Abnormal. To show that a scarcity of wheat fn this covntry 18 not the cause for the present abnormal Increase in the prices, Sscretary Wilson peints out that the amount of wheat produced in the calendar year 1008 wae 665,000,000 bushels, as compared with 34,000,000 bushels for the crop year 190 making 31,000,000 bushels more for the la: crop year than was found the year previous. [* After calling attention to the department's report, which Indicated that the amount of wheat on farms on March 1 last was about 143,000,000 bushels in round numbers, the secretary states that an analysis of the wheat movement after March 1 in past years Indicates that the yearly estimate of the percentage of crop on farms at thac time has been about § per cent below the actual percentage. He says that when wheat becomes dear, as it Is now as the result of the Chicago corner, people use more corn than they do wheat until wheat is cheaper, and declares that the people who are responsible for the corner will have to consider that less wheat wiil be used while it remains at an abnormslly high price.
