FRWISH PLANS FOR BANKHONE | Sum of $100,000 Will Be Expended on “Omaha National Building” WORK TO START FIRST OF YEAR ompany Will Maintain Luneh foom | of | ng — Some Tenants Must Move Soon. Plans have been completed by George | B. Prins, local arehitect, for remodeling the New York Life Insurance building, | which has been bought by the Omaha Na- Mional bank. The changes contemplate the | #xpenditure of over $100,000, giving the bix bank nearly three times as much floor #pace as {s used In the present quarters The bank proper will occupy the entire kround floor, except the space given up to the entrance on Farnam street and to the | elevators, which will be Improved The | entire bullding will be renovated with new plumbing throughout. Entrances to the bank will be from the | main entrance, where the doors now are opening Into the Peters Trust company and into the offices of the Brennan-Love | company. A bronze and glass screen will | eut off the nmorth part of the room from | the elevators and along the north wall and | visible will be the cash and book vaults On the east #ide of the bank room, which will occupy the entire floor, will be the desks and private rooms of the officers, ‘consultation rooms, and in the northeast corner will be the drectors’ room, splen- didly fitted up. In the southwest eorner of the room will be the women's dopart- ment, with & large reception room. Along | #he west side of the bullding will be placed | the teilers and exchange cages. The bank Bcreens will be In marble, glass dnd bronze, The room will bs decorated in color and | ornamental plaster. The walls which now Jivide the rooms will be removed and col- [amns substituted. The Omaha National Junch room for its employes and this will Die placed on the tenth story of the hulld- ng. The safety deposit vaults will be lo- cated on the east side of the basement, an enfrance from the sidewalk on th fln-m street and a marble staircase lead- | fing down from the interior of the bank. In | the bascment will also be storage rooms and locker rooms for the use of employes. Some of the tenants will be moved out that work may begin shortly after Jan- ary 1 Laborer Fatally Hurt at Work "Tony Chemino, Employe of _Street Railway, Crushed by Mov- ing Car.

When it was announced some time ago that the Florshelm Shoe company had leased the ground floor of the Hanson Cafe building for $7,20 a year, many ‘:nou.hl the price was a little high. It turns sut, however, that the shoe company, by dividing the room, will have & sales room for its stock of shoes at a rental of bul $0 a month. The ground floor is being dlvided. and tenants already have been secured who will pay $560 a month for two stores, leaving the middle store for Florsheim. The main floor will be divided into three stores, the corner on the ziley to rent for $3% a month and the stors on the south for $22 a month. m entire front Is being remodeled and e modern, all the beautiful white tiling being torn away. Robertson has leased the basement for a restaurant and the second floor will be occupled by Logan & Bryan. NDEE READY TO PAVE SOME s tures for Ome Street Mile Long and Golng After Others., Petitions have been signed for paving quite & number of the streets in Dundes and at & nieeting held Wednesday evening tvynmu- were appointed to Investigate kind of pavement best to use. Ninety per cent of the property owners have signed up for one street over a mile long north and south and several streets ‘hmve sufficient signatures to warrant the board of trustees of the village in golng ahead to prepare for definite action. Property owners are still active and more signatures are being secured and it now looks a8 though most of the streets of the willage will be paved. bank maintains a | THE BEE Some Things Yo The Irrigatiol The United which States Land and Trrigation exposition begins in Chicago, Nov< ember 20, promises to be the most unique and complete showing of the successes of irrigation that ever has been made. The products of the erstwhile Great American desert will be on exhibition In the richest profusion, and will tell thelr own story of what irrigation may be expected to mean to the American people in the generations to come. “Save the forests, store the | floods, reclaim the deserts and bufld | homes on the land" s the motto of those who have the Irrigation interests of the country at heart This will be the first exposition ever held solely to promote the colonization of new land in this country, now made avail- able to homeseckers, because of the re- sent reclamation of vast expanses of arid tracts. The object of the exposition is to gulde and Inspire the “land hunger" of the nation. The irrigated lands of the west afford opportunities for thousands of new homes. It will not be a mere county falr exposition of land products, although the products will be exhibited, but it will be an educational Institution for the exem- plification of the possibilities of farming {In lands reclaimed from the desert California will tell the story of fifty years progress from one lone orange tree to an annual crop of 28,000 carloads. Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, ail the arid and semi-arld states, will have | exnibits showing that arld land with fir- rigation is to be preferred to the best of land without frrigation. It is said that there are from 70,000,000 to 80,000,000 acres of irrigible land In the United States, each acre of which might be made to produce | enough to support a human soul. Ten mil- lion acres have been irrigated, the bulk of it by private capital. It 1s well that America has embarked upon an era of irrigation. The statisticlans caleulate” that the appetites of men are growing bigger with the passing years, | Although ‘the population of the world ha: increased only 22 per cent in the last forty years, the amount of food products re- quired has increased 40 per cent in the same time. In other words, men eat about one-fifth more than they did a generation ago. With the population of the world inereasing at the rato of 8,000,000 souls a year, and the appetites of the people grow- ing proportionately, the business of making two blades of grass grow where one grew before will be an increasingly great bene- faction to the race. Btatistics showing the per cent of the arable land actually under cultivation in the various states show remarkable facts. Only 33 per eent of the arable land in Massachusetts is cultivated. In New York only b4 per cent is cultivated; in Ohio, 70 per cent; in Indiana, 6 per cent; in Il- linois and Iowa, 72 per cent; Nebraska, 81 per cent; Colorado, 3 per cent; Utah and Nevada, 1 per cent; California, 12 per cent. The ninety-seventh meridian, cutting in twain the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, divides the climatic east from the west. West of that line lle the reglons where the rainfall is per- petually insufficient for crop growing. Yet the west does not regard that as an evil. One of the enthusiastic irrigationists of the far west has gone the whole length of optimism by speaking of m-filmmn of arjdity,” &nd he offers many. ffteresting facts to prove his case. He fifsf declares that the.Bible offers. conclusive evidence that the Garden of Eden was an irrigated spot, and calls attention to the passage where it says that a river went out of Eden to water the garden. Then he looks around and sees that every anclent civiliz: tlon has its birth in semi-arld reglons, and that most of the glories of antiquity sprang from the heart of the desert. He looks to Egypt, Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Persia, Arabls, Northern India, Carthage; into the ands of the Aztecs and of the Incas, and sees civilization rising from the sands and semi-arid lands. He says that the com- mon bellef that the fertility of the Nile reglons 1s due to the coat of mud deposited by the rivers' subsiding waters is not well founded; that it amounts to less than two ordinary two-horse loads of material per acre, whereas Americans may put three times as much manure per acre without as great resultant fertility. Furthermore, on going up to Fayum, in the Liblan desert, where Irrigation is carried on with clear water, the land is just as fertile as the mud-covered valley of the Nile itself. Als in the Loess regions around the headwate: of the Yellow river in China, which fs known as the granary of the celestial em- pire, the land is perpetually fertlle though u Want to Know n Exposition. Irrigated with clear mountain water. The agonciusion s that the lands of arld and #émi-arid reglous are inherently fertile and that water s the golden key that unlocks their treasures to the use of man Arid land has a thirst for water that reaches astonishing proportions. Often when the irrigation ditch is first com- pleted and the water turned over the land it 1s found that it takes as much as 6,000,000 | gallons of water to satisfy the burning thirst of an acre of land. It has been shown that the average cuble foot of earth will ab- | #orb thirty-two pounds of water, and lhnt} as much as fifty-elght tons of dew may | fall on a single acre of ground in one night. | Experfence has demenstrated that the amount of rainfall best suited to the suc. cesstul growing of a crop Is forty inches annually. In other words, to produce a | £00d crop 4,528 tons of water must fall on | every acre of ground annually. Someone has mado a study of the use of water by plants, and estimates that every ton of hay directly absorbs 500 tons of water from the time of the germination of the seed to the mowing of the hay. Another selen- tist undertook to study the use of water by maple trees in thelr ‘‘digestive” econ- | omy. He counted 12,19 leaves on a single | maple. Studying one tres carefully he found that 640 trees on an acre of ground would | evaporate 3, gallons of water in twelve | hours. At this rate the acre of trees, in| the ninety-two days life of thelr leaves, would send into the air nearly 3,000,000 pounds of molsture. Not long since a western raflroad sued one of the most striking maps ever | seen. One part of it shows the physical features of the Promised Land of Canaan; the other shows those of the Salt Lake valley of Utah. If on the map of Lanaan | Salt Lake were substituted for the Dead | Sea, Ogden for Bethlehem, Salt Lake (‘Hyl for Jerusalem, Provo City for Tiberi ‘ and: Utah Lake for the sea of Tiberias, Canaan would become Salt Lake valley. | In that connection it Is interesting to note | that the three great religions of the earth | began in arid or semi-arid regions; Judaism sprang from the deserts of Sinai; Christi- anity from the hills of Judea; )lohi\"l—i medism from the deserts of Arabla. { The densest population In the worla, | outside of citles, is to be found In arid and seml-arid regions made to blossom | by irrigation. The Nile lands of Egypt support a pepulation of 1,200 to the square mile. The densest rural population in the United States east of the ninety-seventh meridian is to be found in Rhode Island, with 216 persons to the square mile. In some of the older Irrigated portions of California one may find as many as 50 people to the mquare mile, practically all of them engaged In hortlculture through irrigation. Irrigation is as old as history. It is a far cry from the old hand-power dumping machine used along the Nile to the modern twenty-inch contrifugal pumps one may sometimes see, and from the baby dams of the anclents to the glgantic Assuan dam in Africa or the Roosevelt dam in our own western country. But wherever irrigation has been kept up, even after the passing of thirty centuries, the soll is as fertile and as productive as of old. The United States is playing the part of one who helps others to help them- selves In the Irrigation and reclamation work it Is doing. It does not always in- tend to be the good angel of the work, but expects to establish communities of set- tlers, train them up In the art of co- operation, and gradually teach them to care for the works it has bullt. As soon as they have completed the payments which liqui- date the expenses incurred In the construc- tion and maintenance of the works, Uncle Sam then surrenders possession to them. Some statisticlan has estimated that when every acre of land In the United States 1s developed to its maximum pro- ductive power the country will support a population equivalent to one-fourth the present population of the world. If the history of the oldest irrigated communities of California becomes the history of the entire reglon eventually to be Irrigated, the great territory east of the Mississippl will become a sort of side show to the main circus west od that river. But then the east may conclude to do some irriga- tlon of its own. Irrigationists assert that even Illinols land might be made to pro- duce five times as much as it now produces wers irrigation and sclentific farming combined. By Frederick J.

El Thomas Mrs. Gaines Gets Husband’s Body on Replevin Writ Denied Corpse by the Coroner, She Secures it Through Court Order. [ — Refused the body of her dead husband by Coroner Heafey, Mrs. Stella Galines, widow of James L. Galnes, the negro club- man murdered early Wednesday morning in the yard of his home, secured a writ of replevin from Justice C. M. Bachman and the body was removed by Constable John Woods to the undertaking establish- ment of G, Wade Obe, %3 North Sixteenth street, from where the burial will be held. A hearing on the writ will be held in the offices of Judge Bachman Wednesday, vember 17, before which time the body ot Gaines will have been interred in mother earth. According to the story told Judge Bach- man by Mrs. Gaines, she went to the cor- oner Thursday, following her exoneration of complicity in the erime by the coroner's jury, and demanded the body of her hus- band, so that he would be given proper burial. The coroner refused to deliver the body except upon a written order from Herbert E. Daniel, ex-city prosecutor, and who represented her at the inquest. The {ssuance of the writ by Judge Bachman followed and Constable Woods carried out the instructions of the court without in- cident. Arrangements for the Gaines' funeral have not been completed. There s a pecullar mystery about Killing of Gaines and Captain Savage very anxious to clear it up. A detail of detectives is at work on the case.

SET TIME LIMIT FOR of steel and ANSWER ON WAGE RAISE | December 1 Date When Locomotive Firemen Expect to Hear from Raflroads. December 1 has been set by the Brother- hood of Locomotive Fireraen for an answer to the demands of the men for Increased | wages and uniform working schedules on | the rallroads running west of Chicago, and involving all men running on trains out of Omaha. Members of the unlon in Omaha have taken no direct action in ter, leaving the case to the executive com- mittee of the brotherhood In Chicago. It 1= expected that tha railroads, forty- two In number, affected’ by the demands for increased wages, will name committee of rallway managers to meet with the locomotive firemen to settle the question. One of the clauses im the formal petition presented by the trainmen to the rallroads says that “the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen shall have the right to establish the senlority date for all engineers promoted from the ranks ot firemen." This clause s said road managers more questiug higher wages.
