Omaha's Opportunity la Co Abend Is

Maes.
It waa decided at the .meeting of the
Commercial club held last tilght to hold
a meeting next Tuesday evening for' the
further consideration ot the promotion of
the groin exchange and if necessary
weekly meetings thereafter until success
in the establishment of a grain market
In Omaha is assured.
Preslilent Bmith, ho opened the meet
ing, sold: "The Commercial cjub haa done
great deal of good since Its organization
but not nearly so much good as it should
have done. I think that this city, at the
present moment, Is In a condition where It
can be pushed to the front very rapidly
by good work on the part of the Commer
i-IhI club. I, for one, do not need any
further recommendation for the establish
ment of a grain market here than to hear
the howls which are going up In Kansas
City at the bare mention of the project.
That convinces me that It Is a good thing
for us. The ratea are auch on the Union
Pacific that grain originating on that
line comes to Omaha, but We get very
little grain from points on the Burlington
or the Northwestern. If the rates were
right almost all the grain produced on
those lines would And a market in this

"I do not believe In fighting the rail

by Kansas City In going after what we
want. They use any method to gain their
point down there, and If fighting will

city needa is for the people to get public
spirited, and he woe In favor of going after
tho rall-oRds in a way they could not mis
understand. He said:
"I believe Jim Hill hss done more for
Minneapolis than any other agent. The suc
cess of Minneapolis aa a grain mark-t has
been attributed to the Falla of St. An
ihoiir. but I attribute It to Jim Hill, and
here In Omah we need a man like him.
Stlckney comes here and Is going to estab
lish a grain market with the assistance of
the people. But if Jim Hill came he would
establish a grain market with the aeslst
anoe. of ratca. Borne people aak If a grain
market la. possible. I SHy it is. The great
est drnwbnck at Hie present time is rates.
I am In favor of Insisting thst Omaha have
as good grain ratea aa any city of ita class.
The ratea here are 44 per cent higher than
at Minneapolis. SO per cent higher than at
Burlington and 23 per cent higher than at
Kanans City for the same dlatances. This
must be changed before we can hope to se
cure mills. If eom,e of tie are carrying

may have to return these favors, but I be
lieve In carrying thla thing to a conclusion
no matter what confronla us. We have now

E. A. Benson followed briefly. He said
he thought Omaha at the present time was
approaching a crisis, and ail should stand
together for self-protection.
Secretary 1'tt explained the rate situation
and on motion of F. D. Wcad It waa de
cided to hold another meeting for the con
sideration of the grain market question on
next Tuesday evening.
The announcement waa made by J. F.

"The grain exchange needs more mem

Mayor Moores took the floor and ad-
dresaed the meeting on the subject of

a some frtotlon between the council and tha
advisory board. Several members of the
council have been tho guesla of an agent of
Minneapolis concern whlco haa been
trying to sell an engine to the city in com
petition with other companies, and I do
not think thla la conducive to good gov
ernment. When I go on a Junketing trip I
pay my own expenses. But I think some

ments I think will afford ample protection."

Mayor Moores then made a atrong appeal
to the members of the club to use their
Influence with the council to eecure the im
provements In the department which ha
has named. He vaide would bo. willing
to put up $200 of hla own money if twenty
Ave other men would put lip $J00 each, and
buy a new Are engine at once, as the city
could not, at this time, lawfully expend
the money for equipment. The money waa
to be spent with tho understanding that
it would be paid back by the city.
President Smlt thought the club should
take some action in carrying out the may
or's suggestions, and Superintendent Pearse
made a motion that a committee of nine
be appointed by the chair to wait upon
the council and advisory board for the pur
pose ot taking the matter up. The motion
curried unanimously.
Euclid Marrin spoke briefly on the sub
ject of the grain exchange, lis said he
had been absent from the city for soma
time, and wua not familiar with the sub
ject, and for that reason would renign hia
