1 A"fl)RE BELLE - FOURCHE LAND Second Unit of Irrigation Project is Ready to Enter, CHANCE TO GET RICH FARM TRACT nd Thirty-Two Cholce Eighty-Acre Farms mmediately Available for Homestead Entry. One Hu Forty red WASHINGTON, March b.—(Special.)—The completion of the second unit of the Belle Fourche Irrigation project, South Dakot: is anonunced In a public notice issued by the secretary of interioy. This makes Im- mediately available for homstead entry 132 cholce forty and elght-acre farms. These farms are open to entry under the general provisions of the homestead law and the reclamation act. After visiting the land the settler is required to make his homestead entry at the local land office at Rapid City, or before the United States commissioner at Belle Fourche. The home- stead entry must be accompanied by an application for water right. There is no lottery. In addition to the nominal entry fee the settler must pay In advance one- tenth of the bullding charge, or $3 per acre of irrigable land. A charge Is also made of #0c per acre per annum for oper- | ation and maintainance. The Initial pay- ment for & forty-acre farm will be about $142, and for an elghty-acre farm $27. This I8 one df the lowest-priced water rights in the west, and it is expected that every tarm unit will be taken up before May 1. The irrigable lands are locatedl in Butte and Meade counties, north and northeast of the Black Hills, one of the richest §o0ld mining camps In the west. Climate Crop The average elevation of the lands under the Belle Fourche project is 2,800 fect above sea level. The climate is healthful and orating. As in other parts of the arid ;lrm the sensible temperature does not ry greatly, owing to the dryness of the The soll Is clay loam and sandy loam, exceedingly ferfile and free from alkall. Fruits, such as apples, cher- 4 rles, plums and small fruits do well, espec- lally on the higher portions of the project near the bluffs, and potatoes produce abundantly on the south elde of the river where the soll Is more sandy. Bugar beets raised in the valley, it Is claimed, con- taln as much sugar as those raised in any other section of the country, and are profit- able as a special crop. The pulp ls nour- ishing and cheap as winter food for stock. Preparations are being made for building a beet sugar factory In the district The vast country surrounding the valley affords pasturage for immense herds, mak- ing that section one of the largest cattle ranges In the United States. As many as 5,000 carloads of cattle have been shipped from Belle Fourche In a year, Large flocks of sheep also feed on the ranges, and 10,00 pounds of wool are shipped annualy from this reglon. With the irri- gation of the valley and the production of abundant crops of small grain and alfalfasa new and important industry will be devhioped in the winter feeding and fattenting of stock. All the fruits and vegetables that can be raised In the valley can be sold to the mining camps of the Black Hills, where employment Is glven to thousands of men. Milk, eggs, butter, poultry and garden truck all bring high prices and there is a growing and constant demand for these products. Sturgls, Whitewood, Belle Fourche and other towns have direct con- nection over the Chicago & Northwestern raliroad with Omaha, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Chicago, and other, large cities. These great markets take all the surplus products, send{ng In return machinery, household les and, other manufactured articles not -yet produced inithe valley. A new rafiroad Is being bullt the entirs length of the project, so that the transportation tacilities will be excellent. ‘Interesting to En From an engineering standpoint the Belle Fourche profect In one of the most inter- esting\which the government has yet under- taken. Its principal structure is an earthen dam, probably the largest of its Kkind in the, world. This wonderful dike which closes the lowest depression in the rim’of a natural basin, is 6200 feet long, twenty feet wide on top, and 115 feet high W 'in the highest place. The Inside face of this.gtructure, which has a slope of two to 1, will be protected from wave and lce action by two feet of screened gravel on which will be placed concrete blocks each 4x6 feet and elght inches thick. cublcal content of this dam will be 48,700,000 cuble feet, of about half that of the fam- ous pyramid of Cheops. The reservolr created by this dam will cover about 9,000 acres, and will be the largest lake In the state. It will recefve water through an inlet canal six and one- halt miles long, forty feet wide on the bottom, and capable of carrying the entire of Belle Fourche fivef. e Belle Fourche offers opportunities in every line of busingss. The valley is practically & virgin fleld. The mercantile pursults are mnot overcrowded. Manu- talturing Is yet to be developed, and the professional man has & great opportunity. The reclamation of 100,00 acres of land included in this project, with & family on every forty or elghty-acre tract, will neces- it tme establishment of several new 10 and will add greatly to those now in existence. Around the new government town site, and also the ncw rallroad in temporary quarters, ready to move Into permanent bufldings as soon as the town site lots are on sale. Lands which sold for 8 per acre before the project started are now valued at $0 per acre and are in good demand.

The || THE OMAHA SUNDAY Lactare Medal | for This Year | ‘ Goes to Egan United States Minister to Denmark is Recipient of Coveted Honor from Notre Dame. NOTRE DAME, Ind., March 5.—(Special.) | =The Laetars medal, which is the highest decoration of honor for a lay member of the Cathole church in the United States, and which s annually conferred by the University of Notre Dame on some man or woman who has achleved distinction in art |year to the present American ministe Denmark, Maurice Francis Eagan, author, educator and diplomatist. The award Is made for distinguished services to Catholle literature and education, For twenty years before this appointment the fepresentative of the United States at the court of Denmark, Dr. Eagan was ocoupled as & professor of literature, and to lish several important works criticlsm whieh are held In by university men. He Is also well known as a novelist, but his claims to literary ds- tinction rest most on the verse which he has written. In several published volumes | he has shown merit as a true poet, and as such, he has been held by critics like Ed- mund Clarence Stedman and Richard Wat- son Gilder. The last named placed him among the thres best sonneteers in Eng- | Msh. Because the literary quality of his work is 8o fine, and most of all because his themes are wholesome and elevating, the trustees of the University of Notre Dame have selected Dr. Eagan as the re- ciplent of the Laetare medal this year. The medal takes its name from the title glven the fourth Sunday of Lent, the day when the announcement of the award is always made. It corresponds to the decora- tion of the Golden Rose, which is conferred by the pope every year on some member of the nobllity of Europe. The medal Is a large disk of pure gold, richly enamelled, and bearing in rellef some design suited to the profession of the recipient. A motto in Latin, “Truth is mighty and shall pre- vall," appears In black enamel surround- ing the design. Accompanying the medal is an address of award painted on silk by some artist of renown. The Laetare medal was first given in 1863. It was then conferred on the historian, John Gilmary Shea. In succession the fol- lowing were decorated: Patrick J. Keeley, architect; Ellza Allen Starr, art critic; General John Newton, civil engineer; Patrick V. Hickey, editor; Anna Hanson Dorsey, author; William J. Onahan, pub- fctst Major Henry F. Brownson, soldier and scholar; Patrick Dona- hue, editor and philanthropist; Augus- tin _Dafly, theatrical manager; Anna T. Sadler, author; General Willlam F. Rosecrans, soldler; Thomas Addis Emmett, physiclan; Timothy E. Howard, jurist; John A. Creighton, phllanthropist; Willlam Burke Cochran, lawyer and statesman; John B. Murphy, surgeon; Thomas B. Fitz- patrick, merchant and philanthropist; Katherine Eleanor Conway, author and editor; Francls Quinlan, surgeon; James C. Monaghan, publiclst and educator; Chris- tine Frances Tierman, author. Although the name of the recipient and the reasons for the award are made public on Laetare Sunday, tue actual presenta- tion of the medal does not take place until some weeks later at a time when digni- tarles of the Catholic church and men emi- nent in the same line of work as the re- clplent can be brought together. In the case of Dr. Egan, he will probably not be formally decorated with the medal until the latter part of May or Jiue. Maurice Francls Egan was dorn in Phila- delphla in 182 He was graduated from La Salle college in that eity in 1873. He recelved the degree of muster of arts from the University of Notre Dame In 1578 and of LL. D. from Georgetown university in 167. In 1891 the University of Ottawa con- ferred on hm the degree of J. U. D., and Villanova the degree of Ph. D. in 1%7. In 1578 he began newspaper work and he was successively reporter, sub-editor and editor until 1888, when he was called to ‘the chair of English literature in the University of Notre Dame, where he remained until 1895, when he went to the Catholic University of America in Washington as professor of literature. In 1907 he was appointed by President Roosevelt envoy = extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Denmark. George P. Cronk Sues for Divorce Comes Into Court Alleging that Wife's | | Cruelty Has Undermined | His Health. on literary high esteem George P. Cronk has begun action for di- vorce from Mrs. Cora L. Cronk. His pe- tition *in_district court charges extreme cruelty. Friends of Cronk have expected that this action would be taken ever since Mrs. | Cronk appeared-before the grand jury to | complair of her husband. The final re- | port of the grand jury which does not find any indictment against Cronk was awalted before the action In divorce was initiated. Cronk, through his attorney, Thomas D. Crane, states in_his petition that he was married in September, 1906, in Chicago. The first specification of cruelty alleged is that Mrs. Cronk, in March, 1907, “in the absence of plaintiff trom his home, entertained a number of parties, both male and female of bad reputation in the home of plaintitt.” | Next, another charge of evil company is preferred in connection With an automo- {bile ride, mentioning some prominent oung soclety men, and the same allegation | still another person. Another count charges that Mrs. Cronk | locked up the door of the plaintiff's bed- room, 80 that he “was therefore obliged to sit up all night”" It is averred that Mrs. Cronk once urged her son, Raymond Patterson, to strike the plaintiff and that Mrs. Cronk herself, In a room in the Mil- 4 hotel, ihreatened him with a revolve The petition contalns numerous alle tions, mentioning the Palm Beach episode, the lurid storfes in & Los Angeles ne paper, Mrs. Cronk's appearance before the | grand jury to complain of her husband, her |eftort to prejudice the Elks against him with the purpose of barring him from that order and concludes by stating that his health has been undermined as & result of this. The petition says that knowing an in- dictment for improper support of wife or family meant dismissal from the order of Elks, of which he is member, Mrs. Cronk was anxious to sick the grand jury onto her husband and had gone to Arthur C.

NEBRASKA FARM MORTGAGES Matter Worries an Investigator from New York. CONCLUSION NOT WELL FOUNDED erficial Examination by an ern Writer Demonstrated to Be Foolish by Facts as They Really Exist. An eastern correspondent York Times, in & recent fssue of that paper, has taken occasion, from informa tion which he 1s presumed to have gath ered while on A trip into the western | to expose what he regards as an | alarming condition of western farm mort- | gage indebtedness. Nebraska has been so- lected by him as an example illustrative of the reckless disposition among the w ern people to buy and mortgage farm lands. The basis of this alarming situation which he assumes to have dlscovered Is upon the following hypothesis. He says There is adequate authority for the state ment that there are probably more western farms mortgaged now, and for greater sums, than there were in the earl 908, when' times were bad and evervbody was feeling sorry for “bleeding Kansas." We will add our probability to the above and say that there are many times more farme now in the western country than there were In the early '90s and that these farms are worth from three or four to many times fnore money than they were In the early He further states: The situation In Nebraska s typical of the whole western country. In 1907 thers were filed in Nebraska 18,658 farm mort- gages, representing a total indebtedness upon the part of the farmers involved of $36,432.000. During the year 17,990 mortgages of '$26,357,000 were pald. During the follow- ing year 16108 more mortgages, represent- ing an indebtedness of §34,408,000 were fTled, while 16,004 mortgages, representing only $90,707,00, were paid. Thus in those two years the mortgaged Indebtedness of Ne- braska farmers was incres sed $13,776,000, Fifteen years ago these facts would have created consternation throughout the whole country. They ought to create consterna- tlon now among all of those who may be considering the advisability of golng west to buy either government land or land that 18 now under cultivation by individuals, ete. What does this two-year increase of $13,- 716,000 of credit or security maortgage mean to the producing ability of Nebraska today? Practically nothing. What would it mean in actual money loan mortgages under present conditions? Nothing. A Prophet Without Knowledge. It Is fortunate for the buyer and seller of western farm lands, for the public senti- ment that is backing the improvement and encouraging the development of western agricultural resources, that they are not under the persuasive influence of this great eastern prophet. It is an old saying and accepted with more or less credence, that a prophet Is not without honor save in his own country.” In this case we have an eastern prophet witnout knowledge of the western country. Some of the reasons why western farm mortgages exist and what they represent against the land, from a debt point of view, will be betfer understood when we explain the basis of transaction creating the great majority of these mortgages. OwIng to the scarcity of farm lahor and the difficulty of operating farms under these embarrassing conditions, many farm- ers who have no boys, no help within the family, and who have acquired money ahead are selling or renting their farms and retiring from active farm work. The renting of the farm is quite often unsatistactory to the landowner. The teri- ant, as a cash renter, wants to get every- thing possible out of the land and Is not Interested in putting anything back. This kind of experience encourages the farm owner to change his method a little, and this he quite often does, in the sale of the farm to an ambitious homesecker Who can pay a few thousand dollars down, enough to guarantee the sincerity of the purchase, the balance he can have on long time at 6 per cent, the seller being satisfled with the annual interest. The security in pres- ent prices of land, is so well established in the mind of the western farmer, that he feels better with the mortgage in his safe than the money in the bank. With the former he is free from any annoyance in getting his money loaned out again on some other man's farm, Effect of the In this transaction there is secured a 80od tenant, a man Interested In keeping up the fertility of the soll, repairing fences, bulldings and looking after the gen- eral welfare of the farm. This transac- tion on a 160-acre farm will probably rep- resent $3,000 or $,000 pald in cash and a mortgage filed for $12,000 or $13,000. These are not isolated cases, but represent thousands of mortgages that are being flled cach year, all over the agricultural states of the west. Tt does not represent a desire to get rid of the land at fictitious | prices, but merely a shifting of responsi- bllity in the care and management of the land, owing to the great problem of hired labor that is confronting the Americar farmer with greater urgency for solution cach year. Another sburce of mortgage indebted- ness and which need not create any undue alarm or apprehension of extravagance or dangerous speculation, Is the growth of home demand for farms to supply the boys, as they are coming of age. Thous ands of boys all over the rich farming districts of the west are each year being provided with farms by the assistance of the old homestead. A farm in the nelgn- borhood is bought for the boy, possibly at | a strong price. This is added to the re- sources of the home farm, and the com- bined efforts of the family are exerted to pay for it, and they are paying for thesc farms, to which statement every local bank and loan company can attest. | Nebraska farmers are quite generall and represent very large share in the ownership of the mortgages filed on farm lands in the state Bapnka In every county in the state hold farmers' money to be applied on the pur- chase of farm mortgages, and country banks generally accredit %0 to 8 per cent of their deposits as farmers' money. When the western farmer cannot put his money out on farm land security, he then resorts to buying land, another way of getting his money invested in what he belleves to | of the New Transaction. Fixing of Farm V. As fo the western farm values, they are governed just us values are governed in other districts of the United States, or other countries. The producing ability of the land In agricultural districts, determ- ines the value of the land. When this condition has been fully attained on the farm, the price of the land will cease to go Sigher. When from any cause the pro- ducing abllity of the land declines, farm land prices will drop down, just as is ob- served In the worn-out farms of New York and some other eastern states, where lands are being offered at $10 to 3% per acre. Nebraska farms, However, are not built upon & rock foundation, with a scanty surface soll, but have an uninterrupted depth of soll, that is readily recuperated by use of leguminous crops and without the aid of commercial fertilisers The financial condition of the early '90s those of the present time will not admit of a comparison in any respect, { least 500 of these delegates will come { towns in other parts of the C{ triet, has been named to care for the BEE MARCH 6 1910, THE OMAHA BEE’S DIRECTORY OF AUTOMOBILES JACKSON uetroit'Electric Pioneer Implement Co.

The mortgages of the early '90s filed In Nebraska represented eastern money, while the mortgages of today represent Nebraska money/ In the early '90s Nebraska was long on Indebted- ness and short on money, today Nebraska farmers are investing of their surplus millions of dollars each year In the cheap lands of other parts of the United States, Canada and Central America. In this relation we call attention to a comparison of the state bank deposits of Nebraska in 1895 and 1910. The former $14,200,795.62, the latter $73,283,616.75, showing an increase of $59,082,841.13. On November 9, 1909, the national banks of Nebraska had on deposit $186,080,005.56. The crop and live stock valuation of these dates are: Live stock, 1895, $55,- 872,000; 1910, $255,649,000; increase, $200,- 7,000. Crops, 1895, $43,307,179; 1910, 55,45,000; Increase, $211,737,821. The increase In land values of 1910 over that of 1900 will be something appalling, and yet Nebraska and the western farm- ing districts of all the ‘'so-called west is going stralght forward producing crops that are paying interest on these reputed high prices of farm land values.
