ff 12 TIITC OMAHA DAT LIT BEE: SATURDAY, OCTOIiER, 0, 1000. MANUFACTLUEUS JIAKEMOXKY contractors keep at work Only Two Houses in This Census District Roport Low Last Year. PROPRIETORS READY TO GIVE FIGURES llornrnliorrn Arr tlic Want l'rnirriiiiii Clan, of ArdnuiiN III City, tilth "hiii'iiinliprn .ctt In Orilrr. The work of the epeclal agents charged with ascertaining the conditions of tho tnanufacturttiK and Industrial Interests at Omaha 1b now practically complete, al though It will tie a week or more before the last Bcht'duleg arc sent In to the bureau at Washington. Tho neentH nro under Instructions to make known none of iie farts In reKnrd to manu facturers which come to their knowledge by reason of their official position, but, gener ally, It can be said that the condition of tho Omaha manufacturer, whether In large or small business, wus nover better. In speaking of his work one of the agents re marked that out of tho entire number of houses vlslled by him but two reported a loss in buslnesH for the cm rent year and that of these, two one was not certain, as ho hud kept no books. According tr this nKent the horseshoers uro tho most prosperous class of pooole en gaged In business In the city, not that their jjurcoutoRe of prolltH is the greatest, but because they have steadier work than any other Close upon the horseshoers come tho shoemakers- -these engaged In manu facturing and rcp.ilnug. These show u re markably Urge number and their days of employment generally are only limited by the number of tlayn In tho year. The dressmakers are another large and Important class uo arc generally regularly employed, and nnllo the agent was not per mitted to specify ho stilted that one of tho women conducting such an establish ment had Ui the bank $50,000, made In tho business in Omaha In n comparatively few years, and that on dresses made this year her prolltb were something over 120,000. Contrary to expectation the mllllnnru are not so fortunate, for while the profits aro good they are not what they bavo been In times past and the seasons nro limited to u few mouths each year. t urMloiii Iti'iiillly A uin rrril. While some of the owners of smaller houses have objected to the questions pro pounded by the ukcuib the larger establish montn have without exception given them nil of the nssistanco In their power. At one manufactory the ploprletor devoted half u day to lnvextigatlng his business v. 1th the agi nt. The books were alt brought Into the private olllee anil for that after noon the door was locked to all visitors. When tho books were completed It was found that the exact amount of business In tho manufacturing department could not bo ascertained, an much of tho goods pur chased was sold in uniuanufurtured form, nnd no separate books were kept of these dales. An estimate was made on the basis of tho stock on hand, which vwis compared with tho stcckman's Looks, showing n dif ference between the two estimates of les than $300 on u business of more than $200, OOO per annum. Tho amount of work dono by each oporatlo was taken anil compared with un uvcragu of what could be done If thu pooplo put in full time, tho result Hhowlng that anions tho 200 odd persons employed tho value of tho lost time In a year amounted to less than $.1,000. Among tho statistics to be secured Is tho total amount of wages paid each year nnd tho number of persons employed. This Is ono of the delicate subjects touched upon .by tho enumerator and tho one whero the most troublo Is found In securing answers. An agent having tho larger establishments In charge speaking of this phase of tho matter said: "These statistics aro the hardest to got of any. Uomotlnics It Is really Impossible, but usually a good esti mate can bo made. Tho larger houses niako tho least trouble. I havo visited and examined the books of a dozen or more housos employlig more than 100 men nnd of tho entire list 1 find that Tho Ileo pays tho best Vagea to Its employes of any es tablishment in Omaha." .No Mlrtilliin I'nlil to the Orilfr of tlir IIiiIIiIIiik Iniiireliir I'ee In Mill I iiiuihl. Work on the new High school building continues In spite of the lty building In spector's order that operations should cease until the Hoard of Education pays tho fee of $117 duo on the permit. All the contractors were notified that they would be prosecuted for violating a city or dinance if they did not quit work, but they paid no attention to the threat and action has not been taken to force them to leave the building. Mayor Moores says that the Hoard of 1'Mucatlon must pay tho fee nnd that no effort will bo .lparod to mako It meet this obligation, tic suys, further, thai ho has not decided definitely what method of pro cedure ho will adopt. It was rumored that nil the membors of the board nnd the con tractors would bo arrested, but no appli cation has b"en made so far for warrants The Hoard of Education feels no uneas iness over the situation and the members assert that, work will not bo stopped. City Attorney Connell Is of the opinion that tho city cantiot afford to bring action against tho board, ns this would delay tho con tractors, who would no doubt sue for dam ages and might recover a much larger amount than tho $117 Involved In the con troversy. The contractors do not expect the city to Interfere with the building and say that if they nre delayed somebody has to p'iy them damages. There Is such a demand for labor at present that a slight delay would cause the contractors to lose their help nnd they say that this would work u great hardship upon them.

Tho Whlto Hock Mineral Spring company has Just received word that tho gold medal nt tho I'nris exposition was awarded Whlto Rock Water over all competitors. They are also Informed that tho French government chemist pronounces Whlto Hock au abso lutely perfect water from the standpoint of purity, taste and mixing quality. The method of making the award Is an Interesting ono nnd Is told In a letter from Carls to the Whlto Hock Mineral Sprlug company as follows: "Jurors selected from different countries were appointed to Judgo American waters. The French government chemist made an analysis of each water, not knowing Its name, but under a number. This analysis was furnished each Juror, who In turn tested each water under numbers corre sponding with tho chemist's numbers. Neither Juror nor chemist knew what water he was testing. The Individual Jurors marked their opinion of tho different waters on a scale ringing from 1 to 20, but their Judgment of them nil was based on analysis, taste, mixing quality, etc. "After each Juror had put down his marks for each as ho thought they com pared, the numbers so put down were udded together and that sum was divided by the number of Jurors as follows: Waters falling between 1 and 4 by this division were designated 'ordinary;' 4 to S, 'fair.' S to 12, 'good;' 12 to lti, 'very good,' 1C to 20. 'perfect.' Whlto Hock was tho only water that fell between 1C and 20 out of 21 competitors. It Is said to be un heard of that ono should fall In the charmed circle of 1C-20, and not another reach 10." Ilrlic I'oInoii from tlir lloily.
