His report is nothing more| than we expected,” sald (‘nmmh-\nn-‘rj Manley of the Commercial club after reading that this officer of the corps of | army ongineers had, in his preliminary report to the government, stated that it | would be premature for the government to go extensively iInto the develonment of the stream for navigation betwween Omaha and Kansas City. “We have the privilege of an sppeal from the board of engineers and we sball, of course, take advantage of that power | of appeal. This report will have nothing | to do with the progress of our navigation | Pproject as we have outlined it for the| present. It will have nothing whatever to do, of course, with the navigation of the river between Omaha and Decatur, which is to go ahead at once. “The Missouri river navigation com- mittee of the Commercial cludb doos not | accept Colonel Deakyne's preliminary re- | port as the last word on the Missourt | In this report the feasibil-| ity of Missouri river navigation and the | desirabllity of such mnavigation to l)\a[ shippers of the territory are not l(llrkn@ | but the report simply makes the point of the inadvisability of an extension of the | government survey up from the lower | stretoh of the river, which congress in the last two sessions has not u»erull!’l well taken care of.” | University of Omaha Girls Wage War on High Cost of Living The high cost of living has few terrors for the young women of the home eco- nomics department of the University of Omaha.

Loaves Misbranded, < Says Inspector Pegg John Grant Pegg, city inspector of weights and measures, says he will con- fer with the mayor during the week re- garding the bread situation. Over two months ago Mr. Pegg proceeded against various bakers for selling bread contrary to the city ordinance and also for mis- branding loaves, with the result that the ordinance was held unconstitutional by the courts. The present status of the matter leaves some uncertainty in Mr. Pegg’'s mind as to how far he may go In exercising his authority. He maintains, however, that the state law relating to misbranding is still in force and he says he will compel the bakers to give the mount of bread indicated on the wrappers. DR. CAROTHERS.

Academic Department At Summer School at University of Omaha A special academic @epartment is to be added to the summer school of the Uni- versity of Omaha for high school students desiring to make up credite. So great has been the demand for high echool students for this kind of work that to accommodate the large number of applicants, it was found necessary to have a separate department from that of the college course. The work of the department will be along the same lines as that of the Omaha High school and a plan is being arranged with the school authorities so that persons taking academic work at the University of Omaha will receive fuil credit at the high school without taking a speclal examination save that given at the university at the end of the course. This plan was arranged with Principal Reed of the Omaha High school last year. Besides the academic, plans have been completed for pedagogical and college courses. These will be in charge of Miss Cella Ohase of the University of Chi- cago, who has taught at Wayne normal, Chadron normal and the Nebraska We: leyan university, NEBRASKA SEMI-CENTENNIAL MCH. 1.1917, TO BE OBSERVED The Nebraska Historical society has set on foot plans for the celébration of into the union.

The date is March 1, 1917 Tn a letter notifying Victor Rosewater of his appointment as a member of this committee, John L. Webster, the presi- dent of the soeiety, says: “The date Is worthy of celebrating in a manner that will fittingly represent the transition period from territorial days to our pres- ent development, wealth and prosperity.” TWELFTH WARD VOTERS AT ANNEYATION MEETING A meeting in the interest of consolida- tion was held last evening at 2155 Ames avenue.
