MORE WORK AT THE SHOPS Union Pacific Giving ; Ita Boiling Stock a General Overhauling ! MECHANICS GETTING IN LONGER TIME IVo Increttftn In ( lie For OP , lint More llonrn for Theme Uniploypil Uri-nt Ianh of llnnlnt-M * I.etn Up n Mlllo , The men connected with the operating and the mechanical departments of the Union Pacific have just caught their breath after the Greatest rush of business that was ever Been on the "Overland Houtc" slnco It was built across the plains. The enormous amount of travel attracted to Omaha by the exposition and the unusually good fall traffic in grain , llvo stock and merchandise combined to make the season ono without precedent. The let up has just como along and the opportunity Is being seized to put a good part of the rolling stock that carried the heavy fall trallic. through the shops for ro- palrs. One of the olllclals of the mechanical department says : "Not since I've been with the Union Pacific was there such a rush as we bad this fall , and we're just getting straightened out from It now. Every freight car and passenger car that we could got hold of was In use and there was no chance to put any of the cara through the shops for oven necessary repairs , but wo'ro catching up with- the game now. For three months we couldn't take a passenger coach off the dine to lot It come Into the shops because the demand for cars was BO great. " The cara being repaired at the Omaha febops are put out on the road again as quickly as the ropalrB can be completed. Tber * are now about 100 freight cars and twenty-five passenger cars going through. A number of the locomotives are being put through the Omaha shops and other shops of the company so that another month will see the rolling stock of the Union Pacific In the best condition It has been for a long time. In addition to the extensive repairs to the old rolling stock the department has been strengthened by the addition of 6,000 n , rw box , stock and furniture cars and several new locomotives built by outside concerns. The number of men employed at the Omaha shops has not been Increased any on account of the period of activity. Most of them are etlll work ing Ova days a week , but on the last two Saturdays a number of the men have boon Icept at work. There are always some of the men who work on Saturday , as there are always rurfh jobs that must be hurried through. But for the last two weeks the number of shopmen given Saturday work has .been larger than for a year past , and the men are hoping that a similar condition of affairs win continue to cxlet for several weeks to como. The. live stock business from the west has about stopped for the season , and this tact allows the stock cars to bo overhauled. The Block traffic held on about two weeks longer this year than usual , heretofore having Htopped about November 1. The traffic officials are expecting a big movement of California fruit eastward this season. The dried fruit Is moving eastward now In large quantities , but the fresh fruit docs not covne In any considerable quantities until January. The California fruit business of the > Union Pacific Is growing heavier each winter. It Is Interesting to note the decrease In fruit rates as the traffic has Increased. About fifteen years ago It cost $450 to ship one ear of fruit from Los Angeles to Omaha on clew freight trains , and $900 per car If the car was attached to passenger trains , as was always ( he case with perishable fruit Now ft cap of fresh fruit Is shipped from Los iAD-les through to Chicago on an express freight ( rain , run at the rate of thirty mtlci n hour , or nearly on passenger train time , tor $140 per car. Even at this rate the traffle is profitable for the railroad com panies , and the fruit trade of the coming winter Is being looked forward to with earn * eagerness. PnihltiK Penvy'a Elevator. The excavating for the new Peavy ele vator In the flouth part of Council Bluff ! has % een completed and work on the ! nun- datlon of the building will bo commenced In a short time. The elevator will bo at immense structure. The ground dimension : of the building will bo 130x219 feet and Iti capacity 1,500,000 bushels of grain. Con' tractor Maloney , who Is building the side tracks necessary to reach the elevator fron the Union Pacific track * , has a large forci of men and teams at work grading. Whei work on the building Is commenced as largi force of men as can bo handled convent cntly will be- put on the job. It was state * yesterday toy a representative , of the con tractor that It wns the Intention to havi the elevator completed and ready for usi by the first of next March.

There was a special meeting of the local passenger association at the Elkhorn head quarters yesterday morning.

Good shoes are so cheap now-a-days that it don't pay to buy or sell poor ones at any price. Wo offer you this week an excellent winter shoo at ono seventy-five. They are of calf , fine grain and Box Calf some are leather lined all with heavy double ex tension soles and well put together. We think they are the greatest shoe for the price that ever came out of a shoe factory. We think theie isn't a shoe store or a clothing store or a dry goods store that sells the same shoe for less than two fifty Among them is a lot of regular motorman's shoes for which some stores ask three dollars wo stand back of each one of them our well known guarantee , too goes with every pair. From Life "We're a commmittee to find the best value in Uvercoati for fifteen traveling men , " said one of three gentlemen in our clothing department last Saturday morning , Nov. 12th. They went through the stock and picked out an overcoat at $12.50. "This coat would suit , " said one of the committee , "but the other stores offered to allow us 10 per cent off. " The sales man answered , "If you will pay us the same price other stores are charging for this grade , we'll allow you 25 per cent. " "I guess you're right , " laughed the committee. "We'll be back with the other fellows tonight. " And about 8 o'clock the 15 piled in , selected , fitted on and paid $12.50 each for these coats. They couldn't touch them at the .price anywhere in town , and they understood their business and were bent on finding the best. These $12.50 Overcoats are unusually good values even here. The reason for the low price is that we bought them late and secured them at about 60o on the dollar. They're made from selected all wool Washington Kerseys a rich , warm and dressy fabric in blue , black and brown lined and finished inside with Skinner satin yoke lower half lined with fancy worsted Skinner's satin sleeve lining linings and trimmings warranted to wear at least two years cut in the new lengths and fashionably made. They are comfortable , made to iit and stylish. We have about 200 of them on hand at $12.50. You never had a better chance to buy a fine coat at a reasonable price.
