"You TV 111 remember , " said this tlorlat
"that Hudolf Ulrlrh , ont > of the foremost
landscape nun In thU country , was engaged
to supervise thLi part of the work. It la
not iieccssaiy to refer to the changes made
111 his pluiui by Cieraldlne onel the manner ' , j 5
tthlrli Oeraldlne ct some one t'Kse , attemi''i [
to get lid of Ulrlch , but nuttcis were dually
llxed up about the time Geiuldlno 'res gncd'
and work was commwiced on the blult tract
Ulrlch took charge ot tliLi work end laid out
plans and gave explicit Instructions Just how
tl.o work was to he done Then he went
auay with the understanding that he waste
to come back In about thiee wecka and
supervise the tiansplantlng of the dig trees
which are now standing along either side of
the main promenade * on the blutl tract Ho
did not come and no one COHM to know
whether ho Is coming again or uot. I know ,
however , that his Instructions , have not been
followed and the work tiaa beco
lone in a cureless , Ignorant and
slipshod nnnnor. If thcee big Ueos
llvo througli the summer It will bo nothing
Jcso than a miracle. They were not handled
according to "Ulrlch's Instructions , or accordIng -
Ing to the method employed by any reputable
florist who knows his btis'ncss. ' They wore
set out under the direction of a man named
3IadKInson , who was brought to Omaha from
Lincoln. I undcrstznd ho acquired all hta
knowledge of tree planting from books and 13
a theoretical llorlst Ho Is in charge of the
landscape work and I suppose he has been
putting some of hla theories Into practice.
The big trees were planted In holes about.
elx feet In diameter and about five feet
< iocp Hadkloson had them filled in with live
liormi manure nnd the trees were pet In this
nnd tbsn covered with the same material
Everybody knows that this kind of diessng
Is extremely hot and the result baa been
that these trees have "bled" nearly all wln-
ter ; by thnt I mean that the oap haa been
running out of the cods of limbs where
branchco wcio cut off How a tree is going
to li\o without oap la a myvtory to me"
GHASS SKED WASTED.
There are a great many other things about
the "landscaping" of this tract which have
excited remarks from people who have very
little Knowledge of such matteis but whoso
curiosity has been excited by the methods
t-mployed For IntUanco , the full force of
the gardenet's department was employed for
two or three weeks last October in towing
l > lno grass seed on this tinct to make sod
for this summer. Nearly a ton nnd a halt
cf blue grass seed .was sunn on the lower
end of the bluft tract , n space ot about
twenty acres , the a\erago being about
135 pounds to the aero. A compe
tent ( lorlst who was naked about the
matter said that fifty pounds to the aero
nvould bo .1 liberal allow mice. Hut that Is
not so material ns Is the fact that there Is
caicely a spear of grass to be se n at this
time. The seed sprouted In the fall , but It
as so.vn so late that the frost killed the
tender shoots and there Is absolutely nothing
to shitiv for the trouble. Resides this , road-
iways have been graded thtough this tract ,
lju lid lugs ha\o been erected on It and ma
terial nf all kinds has been pilcJ all o\er
the ground , so that It would have been Im
p possible for any grass to grow on the tract
It It bad Lcen started a year before. The
money spent for seed and the wages of the
anen who sonmr It have therefore been en
tirely wasted and Fill ! there Is no grass.

OMAHA. Feb. 14. To the Editor of The
BeeIn your Sunday IESUO I see published
a letter from Irspector naker to Mr. Klrk-
ondnll , manager Grounds and IJulldlngs de
partment , In which he denies over making
n statement to me lot regard to the strength
ot the Auditorium building.
I have no wlnh or desire to do Mr. naker
nn Injury. At the last meeting ot the direc
tory , after Manager KlrKendall reported on
the condition of the different buildings , I
considered It my duty ns n director to call
attention to what had Ijocomo a commcti
rumor , a id which had been \erlfled. In re-
ipcct to the faulty construction of the Audi-
torlum building. I lequcstcd that the matter
bo looked Into and It the building bo found
in n safe condition there would bo no harm
done. If found as reported , It could bo placed
In a safe condition before serious damage
as done Instead of taking these remarks
in the proper oplrlt , Mr Klrkrndall got excited
cited and demanded to Kuan the iianio of
niv authority On learning that It was Mr
Baker liu jumped to hla feet and exclaimed
"That man Is not lit to bo In our employ "
Are we to understand from tlilo that men
employed In the Department of Oroirada nnd
Ilulldlngs are under Instructions to "keep It
dark , " nnd that their situations depend on
their following three Instnictlms to the let
ter ? That certain members of the directory
are barred from recelUug Information except
such nn Is doled out at the pleasure ot the
licads ot the departments ? The developments
lei Uitd case uceiu to point that way , for the
next morning after the directory meeting
ilr Ilakor Is "called down , " and then ap-
> onrs his letter to Manager Klrkendall
'wulch U kindly given to the pmsa In which
mycraclty Is called Into question , and
iwhich leads mete make this statement.
Several rumors had reached mo aa to tha
Instability of the Auditorium building and
ou the morning of January 12 I met Mr
Ilaker wltli Mr Itosonater In the business
olllcu of The Dee Mr Kosouiiler was dls-
cunslng the aihlralilllty ot a director gen-
\ l rtiid enumerated cascn where money had
been wasted through the lack of n competent
mail In general authority on the grounds
Mr , lUkcr made no dissent to these sentl-
uienta in the presence ot Mr. Roaewater , but
IN hen Mr. Ilosewatcr was called away the
conversation was continued for some Umo
between Mr , llaker and myself and was eub-
etdhtlally < ts follonti , Mr. llaker Bald there
-was no need of a director general , that
/everything was working smoothly and thcro
iY > tr good men In charge of the different
iwork * . I then said : "Mr , Baker , on your
reputation ai a builder , would you eay lliat
the Auditorium building Is being properly
constructed ? " Ho aald : "No , I don't , and
I called their attention to certain things in
regard to tbu building , but was told that
Ilr , Tamiu would * ttend to that. AfterwurUs
> Ir. Crcedon , the contractor , came to me
and watiteJ DIP to nsslst him In making
certain rhansts lo BtrcnRtliMi the gallery.
I told him 1 would Imve nothing f > do Mlth
the building. " I am Informed thnt Mr.
Hiker has said substantially the rama to
oilier partlrn alfo.
In .Mr. Maker's letior to Manager Klrken
dall lie Mys "Thoso minor matters sou
speak , of hare beto attended to , whlcli make
the strength of the gallery doubly strong "
This goes to show that thcro Trredefects
and some one "of good authority" had
pointed them out to Manager Klrkondall
If these defeats have been corrected there
could have been no harm la bringing the
matter up nt Uio directory meeting and a
statement to that effect by Manager Klrken-
dnll would liivo quieted nny doubt existing
In the mind ot ths public. I cannot sec what
good will result In the publliatlon ot a letter
from an employe written under such circum
stances. niKD M YOUNGS.

The "whlto cottago" on the bluff tract

lar resort for sneak thieves. Documents cf
various klnJs have been In itho habit of

The Kansas City , .PUUburg & Gulf rail-

Intention ot placing Omaha on the sanio
basis as Kansas Pity regarding freight rates
on shipments from the south It reduced
the rate on sugar from 27 cents to 24 cents
per 100 pounds , the latter figure being the
rate on suga- from Now Orleans to Kansas
City. The Port Arthur Route 1ms also given
notlco that on "Wednesday , rebruary 1C , It
will extend the p.tos enjoyed by Omaha and
Kansas City on shipments from the south to
Sioux City , la.
The reduction In the fate to Omaha was
tiot unexpected. The extension of the came
rate to Sioux City wtca great surprise to

Whether any further reductions will be made

Is that thcro will be no more for some time

northbound freight ratea from the southern
territory. All the southern Hues rut.nlng
out of Kansas City have comblnptl against
the Knnsafl City , Plttsburg K. Gulf railroad
to force It ( o iccede from the position It
las taken In announcing that rates .from
the south to On aha must be the same ns
those to Kansas City Now comes the news
that Ifio Southern IViclflc has taken up the
cudgel against the I'ort Afthur llouto , formIng -
Ing on alliance with the oil cr southern lines
to bojcott the latter line for Its determina
tion to protect the northern Missouri \alloy
territory
Speaking of the latest move of the South
ern Pacific , a prominent railroader said to
1 ho Dee "I do not think this action on the
part of the Southern Pacific will do It much
good. Hut I am afraid that the combination
of southern lines Is going to hurt the Port
Arthtit Uoutc. The new line would be all
right If It had Its own tracks Into the leading
northern and southern cities , but as It has
not. It must do business w 1th other lines
Now , while no line can refuse to handle cars
for the Port Arthur lioutc , because all rail
road companies are common carriers , a con
necting line cart put another line to many
Inconveniences In the Interchange of traffic
Such action by all lines Is very apt to pinch
the new line pretty hard , and 1 am afraid It
will not bo able to stand the strain "
The meeting In Memphis on Saturday de
cided no'hlng definite In the way ot settling
up the differences among southern lines on
this matter. It Is announced that there will
ho another meeting of the representatives ot
all hr lines to definitely decide the matter
this week. What will bo clouo cannot be
foretold , but the rumor throughout railro.ul
circles Is that the othir lines will force the
Port " \rtrrn- Route to maintain in the differ
ential between Ondha auJ Kansas City on
all shipments from.thersDuth under throit ot
inaugurating a tiaijlc war against the Port
Arthur Route , Up until noon on Monday no
other line had met the 31 cent rate on sugar
from New Orleans Tnto Omaha , nor had any
other line given notice of the extension of
tbo rate into Sioux Pit.

and 30 cents to Omaha , will bo restored
February 25. Notice was given by nil the

out of the differential between Kansas City
and Omaha. The Pittsburg & Gulf was led
Into cutting the Omaha rate to 27 cents by

Joined the Texas boycott against the Pitts

24 cents and was prepared to cut It to 21
