WIRE SAIL RATE WAR ENDS
Union Paciflo Withdraw lu Out, Which
Bestorei the Konnal Figure.
FIGHT BETWEEN HARRIMAN AND GOULD
Controversy I Sal to Origlaato with
Steel Coraoratloa tho Colo
rado Fael aad Iro
Compaay.
Another tir was created among tho large
dealer In hardware thla morning, when It
became known that the Union Pacific had
withdrawn the 45-cent rate put Into force
several day ago on wire nail. The an
nouncement created urprls. An Im
pression prevailed that the cut represented
a controversy over-tariff which would b
extended to other line of hardware good.
The rate applied only to Denver from Chi
cago, and subsequently a rt-te of 29 cents
went into' force from Denver to this city.
The original Chicago rate waa 77 cents to
Colorado.
Railroad men, when seen regarding the
new rate, said it had been put In force for
k short time to meet a temporary condi
tion In Colorado, and that It represented no
controversy between competing railroad
lines. This view ot the situation 1 sup
ported by the restoration of the rates as
announced by the Union Pacific. W. S.
Wright of the firm of Wright Wllhelmy,
when seen, said:
"We are informed that the Union Paclfio
ha withdrawn the rate whlcri went Into
effect several dark ago, buffurther than
that we have received no Instructions. We
have received no Information from the
other roads, and are In the dark a to
what they Intend to do regarding the mat
ter. One of our representative 1 In Chi
cago now, and has Instructions to Investi
gate the matter and take It up Vlth the
head official of the line having headquar
ter there.
Looked for Some Beaefit.
"I was rather inclined to regard the re
cent reduction in the line of a rate war, in
which Omaha would receive a proportion
ate share of benefit. Just a It did two
years aso, , when a sharp reduction was
made in the same, line of materials af
fected by the. present change. I think 'our
man will be . back by tomorrow or next
day," '
It ha developed that the war of cut rate
In wire nail and steel products la the di
rect result of a feud between the great
United State Steel corporation and .the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company, George
Gould la closely identified with the Denver
company, and cut rates to .meet lowered
prices of the Steel corporation. Then It
waa that the big men In the latter sought
out Harrlman, whose Interests are Identi
cal with nLny of the leading men In the
1,OOO.OUO,000 steel making company, and thl
magnate cut' the rates so as to enable the
Steel corporation to get Into line under the
Colorado Fuel prices. Then , Gould cut
again, so the merry war went on, ,

Tax Commissioner Fleming resent 'the
statements made br councilmen tbtt his
deputy assessors In past year have been
Incompetent HI list of twenty-six men
for such duty thl year was held up by the
council Tuesday night on the grounds that
thirty or more corrections In real estate a
essmenta for 1104 had to be made by th
council The work of valuing real estate is
don personally by Mr. Fleming, however,
and any error that were caused ar at
tributable to him.
Councilman Zlmman remarked that it WM
surprising there were not more error or
omission, considering th large number of
Items Involved.
"The force ot deputy assessors Is larger
than that of last year, and the majority
are men who have had experience In city
assessment work, some every year for five.
years," aald Mr. Fleming. "They Include
men of all political beliefs and factions."
The deputies when confirmed by the coun
cil, will begin their work on the 1905 valua
tion September 15, after receiving detailed
instructions from Commissioner Fleming on'
the morning of that day.
Not Maeh New Work.
Not much Innovation la to be atetmpted
thla year, but a- greater effort will be
made to get shares of stock In corporations
having their home office outside of Ne
braska. Work along this line only was
fairly started last year. It had one Very
notorious result, the revolt of George A.
Joslyn and hi sensational announcement
that be would quit Omaha for good and
let his baronial estate go to rack and ruin
because he waa overtaxed. But the tax
commissioner I confident many thousands
of dollar are represented in shares of
stock of this kind held In Nebraska, and he
propose to ferret them out and tax them.
A special effort will be made thla year to
have separate return made for business
and residence personal property. The as
sessor In th residence district cannot well
asses office furniture that he never see,
It is argued, and vice versa. Therefore
two properly filled blank will be re
quested from many business men.
A lot of the warning printed on the
schedules last year r omitted from those
to be used thla fall, but thl statement 4s
printed in red ink: "I have Included In
this schedule all personal property of wife
and minor children." It Is made incum
bent also upon the property owner' to tell In
whose name his wife's property is listed.
A uauai, the tax commissioner will have
a circular Issued explaining how the as
sessment Is to be made and giving com
plete Instructions, both to deputy assessors
and the people they assess.
