PASSING OF THE CABLE LINE
Third of Iu Una ia ths World How
Vanishing in Omahk
CAME WITH THE BOOM AND NEVER PAID
Co.tlr Adjnnot to Omaha's D.v.lop.
snnt Give. Wng o thm Trolley
Um and Soon Will B.
a, Memory Only.
Th. third cable tramway which was built
In th. world will soon be a thing of the
past; the work of wrecking It is now In
tull blast on North Twentieth street In this
city. It la forced to roak. way for mora
modern and cheaper mean, of transporta
tlon. Away back In IfiM, when Om,ha. began to
grow. th. building of the tramway which
is now being wrecked was on. of th. princi
pal things that lout stimulus to t'... city's
growth. In fact, It Is said that the great
start toward upbuilding mad. by th. city
at about that time was principally due to
th. beginning of th. cabl. road and the
Importation of large numbers of workman
to assist In Its construction.
The road when completed comprised about
sis miles of double truekuga and the cost
of Its construction. Including equipment and
power house, is roughly estimated at this
time at upwards of 11,000.000. Th. capital
Invested was furnUhed principally by
Omaha .men, who saw visions of Inrge rv
turns, but they reckoned vithout their
twit, for in a few years the cheapness and
motency oi eiecirn-ny a muiivt power
were discovered and the cable lines of th.
country were relegated to the rear.
Rlalnar Crln Car.
Th. first cabl. Iln. was constructed In
Baa Vtanulsco, and whaa It was opened.
was conceded to b. on. of th. wonders of
th. world. Kansas City was th. next to
tak. up this means of transportation and
Omaha soon followed. Everyone living
her. at th. time of th. opening of th.
Dodge and Harney lines remembers that
it was th. general opinion at that Um.
that th. futur. of this city was assured.
Real estate went up along the line and
everyone talked of the comforts of a sub
urban horn, and travel to it while they
wer. being Jerked, hammered and twlxted
by th. unreliable grip car on their way
out. Th. cabl. car had a way of Jumping
when th. grip was applied and landing in
th. middle of the next block before It
touched the track, and when it did touch
it was going some, but contact with the
ruils immediately slackened th. rat. of
speed when It seemed to settle down with
a grout) of relief and remained compara
tively steady until the next corner was
reached and another stop made. In this
way the passenger reached his home by
a succession of rude Jerks, but ha thought it
was all right, tor he knew nothing better at
that tluiu, as those people cun testify who
have taken the trip up th. St. Mary's
avenue hill In a horse car on a day when
ths thermometer stood at SO below and
they had nothing of a comforting nature
but a bale of hay on th. floor of th. car
to bury their, feet In.
As an Investment ths cabl. road was not
a howling success. On. of th. men who
was Instrumental In building It stated that
In his opinion every nlckla taken In by a
conductor on th. cabl. Una coat between
7 and t cents. Dut once In the memory
of those who used to run the road did It
pay, md that was In 1893, during the popu
list national convention, bald at th. Coli
seum, which at that ttm. was at th. end
of th. line. The pops wer. In town In
force, and they all took a rtda on the cable
line. The convention laited pirt of three
dsys and during ali of that time the owners
of th. Una believed brighter days wer.
ahead, but with th. departure of th. pop.
their hopes fell one mora, and th. Iln.
resumed th. usual tenor of Its way as a
money losing proposition.
When a Narr "Hop" Arrived.
All th. boys used to stand around and
watch operations when a new spool of
cabl. cam. to town. These spools weighed
upward of 80,000 pounds, and It required
some power to transport them from place
to place. Housemovers were employed to
take them from the cars to th. power
house, where the end of the rope wag at
tached and drugged into the slot by tha
power of the engines. The longest cable
which ever came to town was Si.CuO feet In
length. It weighed two and a half pounds
to the foot and cost 12 cents per pound, or
$10,000. Tha old cables were traded In on
the price of the new ones, but they did
hot reduce the cost much.
Th. road was operated from 1888 to I'M.
The Podge street Una was originally built
from Tenth and Jackson to Twentieth and
Cass, th. south end being afterward ex
tended to th Union station and the north
and to Lak. street. It required four times
as much power to mov. a cable car, ap
proximately, as It requires today to move
a trolley car. Th. cost of keeping the
Iln. In repair was much greater than the
sam. class of expense with the present
system. Wheels, cables, etc., wer. con
stantly wearing out and had to be replaced
and men had to be constantly employed
Inspecting th. line to look for breaks.
At times the cable would pert, and then
everything was tied up until the break
was found and a splice was made. Usually
it took soma tlma to get things In running
order after a break occurred.
Ths largest number of cars ever run on
tha lines of the company was twenty
seven. The roadway, including the build
ing of tha concrete cable slot, cost 13 per
foot. This concrete slot is the hardurt
thing tha workmen have to contend with
now in tha wrecking of tha linn. The
concrete has set and age has hardened it
until It Is almost like rock. Work was
begun on wrecking It last year, and dyna
mite was used. This was very efficient,
but there was too much danger of In
juring bystanders, so tha plan was given
up, and men are now employed with ham
mers to do th. work. Th. concrete is
being left In th. ground to act as a has.
for th. ties of th. new track, and it makes
a good one.
Days of tho Merger.
About two years after the completion of
the road the company which controlled it
was consolidated with the company which
owned th. horse car ll.iea It was found
necessary for the two companies to get
together In order to secure interchange of
buHlness. Many people refused to pay 6
cents for a ride when they could not get
a trnnafer from the horse car to tha cable,
or vice versa. Prior to the merger F. A.
Tucker, who is general superintendent of
the present company, was superintendent
of the cable company, and William A.
Smith, who is at present general (manager
of the lines, held a t.ln. liar position with
tha old horse c;ir lines.
The original company which built the
line was composed of B. K. Johnson, who
was president of the company; L. IS. Wil
liams, Charles B. llustln, W. V. Morse,
tr. 8. 0. Mercer, Captain liussell, B V,
Smith and others. All of them were promi
nent citizens In tliobo days, and some of
them are yet for that mutter. Hut at that
time they were tne leaders In tho Omaha
world of finunce und business. They were
all very enthusiastic and very much inter
ested in seeing the city advance.
At the tlma the line was built the cable
was th. best means of locomotion for
cities known to man. Electric power was
still in Its infancy, so fur as being ap
plied to railways was concerned, and very
few people thought it would ever amount
to anything in the transportation line.
All this time, and a short time at that,
has changed. We who ride In the electric
cars of today and never had the mis
fortune to patronise the old cable rout,
cannot know tLe loxurlwua dlffereuva, but
those who do know tha difference are not
often heard to murmur at seeming hard
ship, which they have to undergo at times.
It is generally tha younger cltlien who
speaks of poor car service, and kicks at
tha much worried conductor. Perhaps in
another twenty years we may see as great
a change as from th. horse car to the
trolley car, but it does not seem probable.

AMERICAN CLIPPER IN PORT
