THE MANY ADVANTAGES TO BI GAINED ,
An Omalii IMnii Talks About tlio Iitke :
CltloHiitiit the lt3iicfltJ to do de
rived from Clost-r Connec
tion xvltli Tlicin.
Cadet Taylor of the Glebe Loan .t Trust
company , has returned from n trip to Duluth
mid Superior , the enterprising cities at the
head of Iako Superior. Sneaking of the pro
posed air Hue railroad to connect thcuo cities
With Omahii , Mr. Taylor remarked to n re
porter : "In my judgment It H a subject of
vital Importance to the business men and
farmer.1) of Nebraska. If the daily and coun
try prim can bring this nuoition to ttio pub
lic eye in such a manner as to attract atten
tion to which It U oatltlcd , our dtlzons will
become aroused to tlio Importance of this con
nection. I was In formed at Duliith , tint the
proposition to build an Omaha air line was
now before an ling'lsh ' syndicate. It would
seem that capitalists who Invest In wllucat
railway schemes In South America , which
bpgln nowhcro and end in the same locality ,
would bo willing to consider a great trunk
line between the head of navigation on ttio
lakes , and the tnctropolU of this vast empire ,
which Is destined to supply the world with
Its grain and live stock products. Superior
and Duluth business men will Join Omaha in
this movement. The Omaha board of trade
should set the movement on foot by inviting
the respective boards in Superior and Duluth
to visit this city. Let us got acquainted.
My friend , President Martin , can leave no
bolter record than to .havo It said that during
his administration , a movement was set on
for the Oinaha-Duluih air line railway ,
"For many years to come Omaha's pros
perity must depend upon the success of the
Nebraska farmer. When ho is prosperous ,
there will bo no complaint of dull business.
Any proposition which will have n tendency
to increase the price of farm products Is of
material importance to the business man.
Statistics show that the average price of
wheat from lbl ! ! to IhtiS was $1.7 ? per bushel ,
and the yearly business failures averaged
lfSS. I'Yoin LSli ! ) to lb"t ; wheat averaged
fl.O'J , and the avciago failures in business
circles ; i,70J. H is therefore n natural
sequence that the ability to pay on the part
of the business man depends very much upon
the real pro lit which the farmer Is able to
make on his products. This Is but another
proot of the inexorable law that in.in is de
pendent upon his fellow-man , regardless of
his vocation. It must be borne in niinu in
consulting tjioso statistics that the facilities
for gathering information as to business fail
ures have greatly improved during the past
twenty years. Any observing man will
nftirrn that enod crnns and fair nricos will al
ways bring -moor to the business man. llenco
bolter transportation facilities , which will
add to the fanner's profit , is a subject which
directly interests every citiy.cn.
"To iho western limner , who has been
forced to place the balance on the
wrong side of the ledger during the
past two or three years , the con
sideration of oven dry statistics bfcomca au
important matter , and the business nitin can
likewise add to His stock of knowledge by a
similar Investigation. From the above ligurcs
it would seem that the business man is very
much interested in the price of wheat. Tauo
the country over , it would nppeiir to play an
important part in the liquidation of indebted
ness. What is true of wiicut is equally true
of other farm products.
"This year the grain-producing countries
of Europe are sadly deficient in crops.
Europe must draw very largely upon oursur-
jilus. Fortunately wo have the supplies on
Suiml , There are a number of things which
tend to higher prices , and iherc is every en
couragement for the tanner , mechanic and
business man. To start in with , take No-
bras'.ia ' as an example for other states , wo
lost last year , as compared with the year pro-
cediiijj.ubout 1JO,000IX ( > 0 bushels of corn. This
average can bo applied to all the corn.produc-
ing states. This tremendous shortage re
duced the grain in siyht iigures to a very low
Eosition. Then , again , it must bo renicm-
crcd that during the past ten years the con
sumers in this country alone have increased
lit per centund the producers but 1-1 percent.
This in itself will create a good homo de
mand. It is fair to presume that a similar in
crease ( perhaps smaller ) has taken place in
Europe. London , with its 5,000.000 pouula-
tlon , is butu samilo ; of many ot the largo
European cities. The consumers ot these
populous cities must bo provided with broad-
itufftf. With supplies cut olT ntor neat-homo ,
to what country can they go but America !
" \Vith this demand tor all our cereals and
live stock products BO great and so impera
tive , the question of transportation to the
Nebraska farmer becomes u very Important
one. How can holiest reach the European
markets with his surplus ?
"Heretofore , in too many cases , grain has
been cither sold dlrcot from the machine or
plied upon the ground , without proper pro
tection. This condition of affairs was unfor
tunate , and the farmer lost a largo percent
age of the direct results of his labor. It
would not bo extravagant to say that the lessen
on the crops In ISSS nlono , would have pro
vided ampin warehouse facilities , whore
cram could bo stored until it was wanted by
'
the public at fair prices. In too many case's
farmers simply looked at results , charged
the railroads with all their troubles , and did
not go Into the investigation m the right
way. I am not prepared to aay that trail * ,
purtatlon rates should not bo reduced. They
may be too high , that brach of the subject is
u propcrono for consideration. But thu llrst
Important step to protect the crop , und
which will.placo the farnnr on the roan to
prosperity has been taken in thu passage of
our mo'it excellent warohoubo law.
AVby should the farmer pay extrava
gant rales of Interest nt home ,
Kcll his grain when there Is no demand for It ,
when n way is provided by which ho can
store his grain ii'iul use his warehnuso re
ceipts as collateral security for money at
reasonable rates. ( I want to say paronthi'tl-
cnlly that the only obstacle I can see now Is
the lack of warehouse facilities In Omaha.
\Vill our business mini wake up to the tin-
iiortance of building these warehouses this
year , and 1 am glad to sou that Tin : Biu : rec-
ognb.os thu Importance of this work. )
"Having now raised an immoiiso crop of
everything , which U conceded upon ullsido : ! ,
the next question Is , how best to roach the
nmrkct.s of the world I In this connection
you have requested mo to give you the con-
Ciiislons of my recent visit to Duluth and
Superior. Lot tno say , by way of Introduc
tion , that 1 met Mr , P. P. Solby , general
tralllo manager of the Great Northern rail
way at St. Paul , who told me that his com
pany was not making any nolso about it , but
was building u through line to the Pacific
coast as rapidly as mim , money and brains
could do the work. Tun Biu : has bt-en call
ing attention to the country tributary to the
Great Northern In Mont ana. This road now
runs to Sioux City , A new line from a point
which would give us the Jim river country
unit all the gieat trade of South Dakota-and
at the biuuu time connect us with .Mon
tana , would bo a splendid thing for
Omaha. This road now roaches El-
londale , Aberdeen , Huron , Sioux Fall- , ,
Dakota. An air line built from
Jamestown striking most of the above cities ,
and Yanhlon to Omaha , would tap a country
unsurpassed In thu west. The givat north
ern can build this lino. Can the board ot di
rectors be induced to do It.
"Duluth and Superior , standing nt the
head of navigation on Lake Superior ( prac
tically ono city ) , should bo butter known In
Omaha and Nebraska , Thulr combined ele
vator capacity Is 'JO.SM.OOO bushels , and they
received during IS'.M u grand total In bushels
of O.lt'O.IIlV ) , and shipped ll.l.V..Sl'.l. ' During
the same period 1I MIIMKJ , tons of coal were
handled. A clearer Idea of the magnitude of
Superior may bo gained when It Is stated that
the lake wheat shipments lu bushels for thu
season ending November ! U > , ISiK ) , was as fol
lows : Chicago , 0'JIU,117 ; Duluth and Supe
rior , 13.61)0,000. ) It has been estimated that
the great lufccs saved thu people during ISM ) ,
in frclKht charges , ( IID.OOO.OOO. Nebraska
farmers did not share In this saving , because
scarcely n dollar's worth of our one hundred
million dollar crops went via the great lakes.
Duluth and Superior are fifty miles nearer
than Chicago-and it Is and will become
uvontuully If wo get the right rail connection
tbo uututal outlet for our grain products. It
will also cheapen the freight ou our salt , lum
ber aud coal , Ttio rate ou soft coal from Su
perior to St. Paul Is II nor ton , on hard coal
$ l.fiO. Before this route" was established the
rate from Chicago to St , Paul was frequently
$ . " > per ton. It Is estimated that St.
Paul and her trade now save over
fl,000,000 per year on the ouo Item
of coal. 1 have not had time to make
any estimate upon the enormous saving on
coal , lumber , and grain which would lunuru
to the people of Nebraska bv reason of a di
rect trunk line connecting Supcrlor-Duluth
and Omnhn. But It would add several mil
lions to our bank deposits , which now go to
Chicago , transportation companies and
others , not specially Interested in Omaha.
We ought to have tbo connection , and can
have it with proper effort ,
"While visiting Superior I was amazed at
the magnitude of thu coal docks and the Im
mensity of the grain elevators. I thought
then If I could say something which would
nwukun nn Interest in my Nebraska fellow-
citizens lu this Duluth-Suporlor rail connec
tion , I would bo rendering the people of my
adopted state u valuable service. Nature has
provided transportation facilities for the
accommodation of this great empire far be
yond our expectation * . The saving on ono
year's good crop aloiio will supplement what
the God of the universe has provided , and
will glvci us a direct trunk line , which will
bless those who come after us , and open up
new Holds ami develop a country whose
grand possibilities are not yet understood or
appreciated.
"Nor Is this all. Invention has also laid
her contribution nt our doors. The Mc-
Dougall 'whalebaek' steel voscls
promise to revolutloni/.o the laKe
and ocean trafllc. These vosseli
are practically decklcss and keclless , and
their chief value lies in their enormous carry
ing capacity , cheapness of construction and
navigation and greater safety In .stormy
weather. Captain McDougall undoubtebly
pot his idea as a combination plan of the
famous naval vo.sK'l , from the Monitor and
Mi-rrlmae. For fourteen years ho patiently
developed his plan until his dream became u
reality. I llrst realized this when I saw the
steam barges crossing Lake Erie In Juno ;
again in July , when the captain showed us
throUL'h his Immense shipping yards at
Superior , where 1,000 men are usually em
ployed , and where ono vessel can bo turned
out complete every three months. The av
erage cost , Including steamers , is ? ( iO,0' ) ( > ,
with a carrying capacity of 8Kl , ( ) ) tons.
These vessels ate no longer an experiment.
The company has $ ' ( ,000,00. ) invested In its
plant and expends overfcOJOUOJ ! In its yards ;
its vessels are to bo found on all the lanes ,
and are no.v pushing out for the coast trado.
But what especially interests the people of
Omaha and Nobiaska is that the first whale-
back success fully crossed the Atlantic quite
reccntlv , pr.ictiealiv talcing the cargo of
' .15,000 biishols of wheat from Duluth to
Llvernool without breaking bulk. The
whalebaek vessel means an original capital
of but ( iO per cent heretofore required , with
nt least 'J5 per cent greater carrying
capacity and operating expenses very
much reduced. This must result in a
great reduction on transportation charges.
The speedy deepening of thu Welland
and Lacliiuo Canals will enable larger ves-iels
to run from Duluth to Liverpool without
breaking bulk , As it now i.s , or will bo until
this work is possibly completed , with very
little nxtra handling or lighteringthe whale-
back will run regular trips botwojn Duluth
und Liverpool. This will nt once bring the
seaport in which Omaha and Nebraska pso-
nlu arc interested : "i ! ) . ) miles nonrur this r.itv
than Chicago.
' Now , the question is.havo wo the energy ,
capacity , ability and courage to wako up ,
grasp the opportunities and improve thorn.
If we have , 1 c.in nicturj in my mind twelve
or fifteen olovaton in O naha within a year ,
with an air line to Duluth and Superior mm
developing , as it is sure to , n grain market
hero as largo In proportion as our irru.it packIng -
Ing industries , and it is no fancy picture to
claim that within a vorv few years Omaha
cnu and will become the Greatest grain and
live stock center in the world. The question
for us to consider nt present is how best to
attain this worthy object. Perhaps I am an
enthusiast. But having boon over the torri-
torv , and so Ions familiar with what made
Chicago so great , 1 am anxious to see Omaha
ranch out with both hands and take hold
of the opportunities presented. "

A Change Tor an Important Addition
to the Service.
In the law enacted by the last congress
providing for the transfer of the weather
bureau to the department of agriculture ,
was a section providing for the appointment
of twenty "local forecast officials. "
The duties of thcso ollicials have since
boon defined in detail by the executive
ofllcer of the weather bureau. It is intended
that they shall act as a medium for the
prompt distribution of tlio information to bo
gleaned from the observations taken by the
various stations of the service and make
predictions or forecasts ol the weather con
ditions for the country in the imme
diate vicinity of the city in which
the forutast ofllcial is located. Bv
this means the information will bo
disseminated In a much shorter time than is
possible for the central oftico nt Washington
to perform that duty , and the general e.x-
pononco has beau that it Is possible to make
those predictions much more accurately , as
the local official is required to familiarize
himself with the many local conditions gov
erning weather changes , and especially those
governing or in nnv way influencing precip
itation , and is tncrobv enabled to consider
these influence. ! in making forecasts for his
locality. The short time allowed the forecast
ollicer in Washington to make those pre
dictions prevents him from making them In
detail , but ho is obligea to make his fore
casts for largo sections of country , thereby
making thorn more or loss misleading when
any particular spot in one of thoao sections
is considered.
There have been thirteen of those
"local forecast officials" appointed ,
at the following points : Now York ,
Boston , Cincinnati , St. Paul , Nash
ville , Cleveland , Galveston , Buffalo ,
St. Louts , New Orleans , Detroit , Milwaukee
and Chicago.
Omaha , being the most Important city
west of the Mississippi river , und in tlio
centre of the finest agricultural region on the
globe , Is entitled to ono of those onicials.
Moreover the telegraph faculties hero are ox-
eolloiit and are fully adoguato to the task of
distributing the information broadcast
among the farmers of the state.
The purpose of the appointment of
otllcors is to supply the agricultural and
commercial Interests of the community with
thu Information regarding climatic changes
which is of great importance to them.
The appointment ot such an officer at
Omaha would mean an increase In the serv
ice hero It would necessarily follow that
more dally reports would bo both received at
and issued from the Omaha ollico , and this
would require un Increase in the
ollico force. It would iilso mean that
an tsobarlo and Isothermlu chart would
be issued instead of the bulletin now nested
about town. Those charts are now issued In
nearly nil the large citluj and show at a
glancu thu weather conditions lu every part
of the country , bainir intliiltoly more compre
hensive than Iho bulletins. The character of
thu weather forecasts would also bo Improved
by reason of the tact that iho ollloer hero
would bo more familiar with local conditions
and Influences und therefore able to make his
predictions accordingly.
'iho iinportnncu of this matter Is fully re
alized by thu board of trade and action will
bo t.ikun at oneo to urge the appointment of
ono of those oniciuU at Omaha. When the
board is ononcd and In opuratioa the weather
reports will form an important factor in gov
erning prices and the dirjctors are therefore
anxious to secure the manifest advantages to
bo derived from having an olficlal of thU sort
lu Omaha.
The observer In charge of the Omaha
station , Mr. L. A. Welsh , is ono
of thu oldest observers In the
service and has established un enviable rec
ord for faithful and oulclont work. Ho has
been In thu weather bureau slnco Its organiz
ation and is iwognlzed by the central oflleo
as ono of the most ofllciont men In the service.
Tills Jact is well known to the bonr.d of trade
moinbors , who have become acquainted with
Mr. "Volsh during his four years' residence
Ih this city and they will request his appoint-
uiunt aslouai forjcast o.'Uclal" ' tor Omaha.
This action will bo taken at once ui thoru

are being made by other weitorn cities to so-

nishes conclusive evidence that the liguroj
pulishcd in Tin : Br.E wore correct. ;
This statement will'go baforo the associa
tion at the next mooting , at which time fur
ther action will bo taken.
An attorney and member of the association
yesterday said , "I am glad THE BUB took
nil * matter up , as it has prepared the people
for what is coaling. The tlcuros weru cor
rect and I am of the opinion that thuro will
bo some startling revelations before the mat
ter is Bottled. "
Upon being asked what course would
bo pursued the gentleman said ,
'Wo shall Investigate tlio case most
thoroughly and if wo lind that the funds
have been wrongfully applied in paying other
debts , wo shall enjoin the county commis
sioners from refunding and at ttio sntno time
shall bring mandamus proceedings to compel
them to place the money back in the fund
from which it is taken.
"Of course at this time wo cannot bo too
positive , but it looks as though the taxpayers
had contributed nitre than enough money to
have paid these bonds. "
When asked if criminal proceedings would
follow , the gentleman said" : "That is difll-
cuit to. say , but if what appears to bo the
fuels are facts , something will happen. The
commissioners were responsible on
ofllcial bonds and' if they disposed of
the funds contrary to law , they must suffer
the consequences.-

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Burns returned
Wednesday from n three months' ' trip
through Hurope. Mr. and Mrs. Burns had
thu good luck to take passage for homo on
board the Steamer Majestic , Gtorgu Francis
Train's especial favorite and object of admir
ation as nu ocean greyhound.
The Majostlo outstripped every previous
record and Mr. and Mrs. Burns , with the
rest of the multitude on board , numbering
In all 1,7-10 passengers , were shot across from
Queenslowu to Now York In 5 days , 18
hours and 3 in Inn to. ? , boaltng the fastest
previous record , made by the City ot i'arls ,
just fifty-seven minutes ,
"Wo had the great pleasure , "
uald Mr. Burns yesterday while conver
sing with a reporter for THE Bii : . "of visit
ing the engineer's department of the mam
moth steamer and had a view of the stupendous
deus machinery that drives the great vessel
through the water ul the astonishing rate of
500 miles per day. Tun Majestic is propelled
by the combined strength of two triple ex
pansion engines of 18,000 horse power each ,
nt.d during the greater part of our voyaco
these masterpieces of mechanical power
were run at a'J0,000 horse power pressure.
Our actual time was first day ,
4TO miles ; second day , 501
miles ; third day , -19 * miles ;
fourth day 501 miles , fifth day -101 miles and
the last part of n dav ! 11 miles , makinc ,777
miles In live days , ofghtcen hours and eight
minutes , . The sea was exceptionally free
from squalls and violent storms , so that wo
had a very favorable opportunity to make u
rapid and pleasant trip.
"It is impossible for a vessel to make very
fast time when the sea is rough for the screw
Is lifted out of the water part
of the time loses its grip , you
might say. The Majestic has what is called
the 'twin screw' which gives her 1 greater
speed than the single screw could. "
Speaking of the sojourn in Great Britain ,
Mr. Burns said : "Wo did Ireland lir t ,
landing nt Qucenstown. Wo found that
there are three distinct classes of people in
Ireland when the question of Ireland's inde
pendence is to be discussed. First the people
in the south and west of Ireland , who want
absolute freedom from England ; second , the
middle classes further north , who want n
sort of local government to control local
matters independent of the British parlia
ment , hutstill hold an allegiance with ICngland
and have representatives in parliament ; and
third , the m.'ivhauts of Belfast , and such
nifiii , a splendid class of citizens they uro too ,
who are very well satisfied with the present
arrangement. I found a good deal of pro
nounced ouposition to Pnrnoll and a great
many people in Ireland said they were aston
ished that American people should continue
to send over funds to bolster up his cause. "
With reference to the reputation of Omaha
abroad Mr. Burns said : "You would be sur
prised to know the familiarity with which
people in London talk about affairs in Omaha.
But they huvo a wrong impression of
the Union depot diflleulty and
it is doing the city a vast amount of harm.
Several brokers and business men in London
said to mo : 'What is the matter with Omaha
that you can't got money to complete the
union depot thuro ) ' I explained to them the
situation and the real cause of delay. They
had been led to believe that it was a scarcity
of funds that stbpned the work. I told Mr.
Herman Kountzo this morning that it would
pay a few of us to borrou the money
and have that union depot completed
rather than to permit , the impression to
bo spread all over the civilized world that
Omaha could not build u union depot.
Omaha has had a remarkably coed reputa
tion abroad for push , enterprise and financial
solidity. Aside from this union depot dlfli-
culty you hear nothing but the very highest
commendation of Omaha. Wo came home
feeling that Ornaha was the best place on
the face of the earth to'llvo. Wo mot Miss
Mabel Orchard in Liverpool , Mrs. Dewey
