OMAHA MARKET IS STEADY
Prices Do Not Fluctuate on Grain
Exchange Here as They Did
in Chicago.
GOVERNMENT MAY INVESTIGATE
While the Chicago wheat market waa
fluctuating- wildly yeeterday with a. aplit
of nearly JO centa between high and low,
pilcea on the Omaha Grain exchange
were steady, nlth an advance of 2 to H
cents over Tuesday.
Wheat receipts at Omaha were ab
normally light, there belnn but nine cars
received, and of thee only two were on
sale, one selling for tl.oTH and the other
II." per bushel. The others were con
signed direct and were to fill orders on
- which salea had previously been made.
Corn failed to follow the advance made
by wheat and sold a full cent lower or
more, moat of the sales being made at 72
to T cents per bushel. There were sixty
carloads on the market.
Although oats receipts were light, nine
cats, prices sagged from those of Tuesday
and the salea ranged from MV to 63 cents.
Rye made 'the sensat'onal Jump of the
day, a clean 6 cents, the price going
from Jl. 2i to 11.30 per bushel.
Whlla Omaha dealers felt confident of
a big advance in heat prices, they kept
out of the speculative side of the deals
that were forecasted by the private wires
from Chicago, which told pf Italy taking
I.OipO.OOO bushels, with England seeking to
buy quite as much more for Immediate
delivery.
(iOTerntnent lavestlaatlou.
The Chicago private wires also hruualit
to the Omaha deiders the infotmatlon that
the government has started an Investiga
tion into the advance made and to be
made on bread prices by the bakers.
This, it was asserted, had a tendency to
curb speculation and cause Omnha grain
men to keep out of everything that might
have a tendency to bring about any com
plications. As the noon hour approached several
wires from Chicago veriried an early re
port that the attorney general had o
tlered an investigation of the rapid ad
vance in all-grain prices during lie last
few days, with a view to ascertaining If
there Is any collusion between the dealers
in grain and the lines of elevators
throughout the country and if there Is an
attempt being made to advance prices be
yond what conditions would justify.
Local grain men take the position that
an investigation of th advance In prices
on wheat -and other gralna will simply
determine that the rapidly diminishing
tupply and the as rapidly increasing de
mand ha brought about th high price.
They take the position that as the sup
piles decrease the prices must Increase
correspondingly, at least until another
crop la practically assured. .

Firemen llaad.
"It seemed to me the fire department
waa there In 110 time," he aald. "They
did aome fine work and we assisted them
all we could In getting the people out of
the subway, where there was a strong
acrid smell like that of burning rubber.
We carried, them into the big salesroom
of the Bui'ck company, which la right
there. AH the cars were run out back
and soon the entire floor was covered
with person who had been prostrated by
breathing the .fume or by fright, 1 think
there were ei-erl hundred of them."

M r. Foshler attended both the . New

notable cuts In price of various car.
In connection with the Engcr car Mr.

Mr. Enger is a young man weighing
hardly 120 pounds and walking with the

makes up for any lack in his body. He
ha made a fortune of aeveral million
dollars in manufacturing and now bids
fair to become one of the big leaders in

ABOUT THATJIGHT-OF-WAY
General Solicitor Loomis Explains
Attitude of the Union Pacifio
in This Matter.
REASON FOR ORIGINAL WIDTH
'I should like to have the publlo under
stand the attitude of the fnlor Pacific
towarJs the fln-foot right-of-way controversy-,"
ld N. It. Loomis, general
solicitor for the company, who recently
msde an argument before the senate
judiciary committee atalnst the bill
which proposes to reduce the right-of-way
to 100 feet.
"1 do not believe that congrea wltl at
tempt to take what It contracted' to give
as an Inducement to construct the rail
road," added Mr. Loomis. "Tho railroad
was built and the right-of-way earned
and congress might a well attempt to
forfait u quarter aectlon pld fur under
the, pre-emption law.
"At the time the grant wa made 'most
of the country through which the railroad
waa projected was Inhabited by savages.
The land wa of little value, and nobody
thought of. objecting to the width of the
right-of-way. A It was. Individual in
vestors were not willing to advance any
moneyfor construction, and It wa not
until the law was amended In that
private capital could be Interested In the
enterprise. Now that the land has be
come valuable, organised and systematic
effort has huen made to compel the Union
1 aclflc to part with ita title to all tho
right-of-way except fifty feet upon each
side of Its track, and to give It without
cost to the abuttln land Asnprt. If
thl much coulj be done without com
pensation. It is difficult to understand
why congress could not go further and
take away all of It up to the end of the
tie, and even the right-of-way upon
which the tie themselves are located.
