Grain' Exchange ftp.fwtmp.s thft Onftn Season on Straw Lid Friday was the first day of the open season on straw hats at the Omaha Grain exchange and during tile first hour of the session there was enough of this class of headgear- destroyed to stock a hat store. Regardless of the owners, or the quality of the hats, they all looked alike. When a straw hat appeared inside the trading-room it was quickly grabbed, tossed about, and when returned to the owner, was minus a brim, or a crown, and in most instances, both. With the embargo going into ef fect, and from- now on grain going out shipped subject to delays and sub ject to owners' risk, light business is expected until the end of the railroad strike. Shipments in and out, how ever, were fairly heavy. There were 102 cars of wheat in and 249 out; 26 cars of corn in and 89 out; 29 cars of oats in and 40 out. v Wheat prices were strong to 2 cents up, selling at $1.36 and $1.46. Corn was a fourth off and sold at 7654 and 79yi cents; oats, '4 lower, selling at 42 and 43 cents per bushel. August Average Temperature Only Two Degrees Hotter The last week in August served to pull down the average temperature for the mouth so much that it figures up only two degrees hotter than usual. It was 76.4 degrees and the average of all the Augusts for forty-four years is 74.4 degrees. The hottest day this August was on August 4, when the maximum was 100 degrees. The minimum was reached August 27, with 52 degrees. Last year the average temperature in August was 68. The hottest Au gust was in 1913, with an average of 82 degrees. Two and seventy-four hundredths inches of rain fell this August. The average for August is 3.62 inches. Omaha is 9.49 inches of rain "short" since March 1 this year .having had Only a little more than half as much as usual. The dryest August was in 1913, when there was only .18 of an inch of rain. Killed as He Tries To Board a Train While attempting to loard a pass ing freight train in the Missouri Pa cific yards at Fourteenth and Wirt streets late Thursday afternoon Wil liam L. Baxter, 4411 North Twenty fifth avenue, fell from the train and was fatally injured.. The body was found beside the tracks by B. Weber, 3109 North Fourteenth avenue, a brakeman on an outgoing freight train. v Baxter, who was 39 years of age, had been employed by F. C. Gardner as a pipe fitter on some houses under construction at Twentieth and Charles streets. He stopped work about 2:30 o'clock and started for town, but it is thought that he changed his mind and decided to return home. He is sur vived by a wife, three daughters, one son, his mother, Mrs. Maria Baxter, and a brother, Thomas Baxter, of De troit. - His brother, Charles R., was killed by a similar accident in the St. Louis yards last May. . The body was turned over to Cor oner Crosby, who will probably hold an inquest Monday. Mexican Annoys Farmers' - Wives North of Florence Hurry-up calls from farmers' wives residing a mile north of Florence asking the co-operation of the sher iff's, office in ridding them of a strange Mexican who has been prowling about the vicinity for weeks sent Deputy Sheriff Musgrave to the scene rrirlay afternoon.

HOT I1TA COMBINE County Attorney Magney Gives the Results of His Investiga- tiona on Prices v ANSWERS THE IMPROVERS Milk dealers of Greater Omaha have not combined in restrain of trade in increasing the price of milk to its present price of 2-3 cents per quart, according to an exhaustive ex amination just concluded by County Attorney Magney. On request of the Riverview Improvement club and other civic organizations, operations of milk dealers were investigated. The following letter from the county at torney, addressed to Secretary J. A. Van Haven of the Riverview club, outlines the situation in detail: In order to violate th law thane Minpd In th rotlk busttiPM muit entr Into a com bination for th purpoi of fixing tho prlct of milk, and preventing Ita aalo at a frloa 1m than that fixed by tho combination. Thla ran only be done when practically all of thoao engaged In the business in thla city enter Into the combination. I have made a careful Investigation of the situation In Omaha, and find that no Hucft combination exist and that there la now and haa been at all tlmea Competition among the milk dealer. The Alamlto. which la probe My the largest distributor of milk In the nlty, charges an average price of R 1-1 cents per quart. Theae prices have been fixed by the company without regard to the prices demanded by othor dealers. The Arwood dairy haa been charging from to 12Uj cents per quart. Thla company has not consulted other dealers with refer ence to these prices and announces that It la contemplating raising them somewhat Id tho future. I find that the small dealers are not all selling milk at the same price. Rome of them have recently raised the price to i cents per quart, others expect to do so- In the near future. A large propor tion of them have been selling twelve-quart tickets for a dollar, and many Insist that they will continue to do so. I find also that the Milk Dealers' association has taken no action relative to the price of milk. Not more than half of the milkmen of the city belong to the association, and the associa tion haa had no meeting within the last three months. One or two meetings have been called within that time, but not more than half a doien attended, and no business Was transacted. , t Each. Individual cau legally fix the price of his milk as he seJ fit. His customers can buy, or not, as they please. The wrong Is in a combination which arbitrarily fixes the price of milk and prevents its sale for less. Those familiar with the situation allege that there are many areaaons why the price of milk has gone up. It is contended that a good cow now wlln for $nfi, while for merly the price was f4t or $60; that the price of feed' and bodies Is much higher than formerly, and that because of rigid Inspection, the expense of getting the milk to the consumer, as required by law. Is greatly lnureased. I am not prepared to say, whether or not, these conditions Justify the recent raise in prices by seme of the milk dealers. That Is a quest ion about which there may be in honestdifforence of opinion. I am convinced, however, that there Is no combination which has arbitrarily fixed prices, consequently there Is no combination in restraint of trade, within the meaning of our statute. ,. Mayor Asks Parade ' Line Be Not Broken Here on Labor Day Mayor Dahlmah has issued the fol lowing proclamation, warning all from breaking through . the parade Labor day: " Monday, September 4, Omaha will wit ness one of the largest Labor day parades over held In its history. Ordinance No. 7WiO prohibits the break ing of the line of march of any parade, and provides a penalty therefor. Heretofore the police have experienced some difficulty In enforcing this ordinance; therefore, I, James C. Dahlman, mayor of the city of Omaha, earnestly' urge and request the people to assist the police In enforcing this ordinance by refraining from breaking through or attempting to break, through, the line of march. v Omaha Real Estate ; Showing Activity Increased activity in the real estate market of Greater Omaha is shown in -figures compiled by Register of Deeds Harry Pearce at the conclu sion of business August 31, this data .showing that the first eight months of 1916 marks a total valuation of transfers of $11,776,38179, as against $10,994,965.37 for the corresponding month of 1915. The 1916 gain is $771, 416.42. ' During the eight months ending Au gust 31 there were 4,377 deeds filed, as against 4.277 for the first eight months in 1915. One of the striking features of the 1916 gain is the increase of small transactions. March has been the largest month for realty transactions. In March, ,1915. the largest deed filed was the $600,000 deal for the First National bank property at Sixteenth and Farnam. During 1916 thus far there have been no transactions of such magnitude, the deeds being con fined to the transfer of residential property and smaller commercial tracts and structures.- Motorists Fined for 'Violating Ordinance A. C. Kennedy, 236 Omaha National Bank building, and C. G. Blackenburg, 2836 Parker street, were fined $1 and costs each, with suspended sentences, for violations of the parking ordin ance, . Other i alleged offenders were P. Hahenbery, 2018 Pierce street; Charles Valz, Fortieth and Q streets; W. Kiewit, 2609 Marcy street.. - They were discharged when no one ap peared against them in court. Many Marriage Licenses Issued During August August was not a month of brides and roses, yet figures compiled by Marriage License Clerk H. H. Stub bendorf show that more licenses were issued during the month than in any corresponding month in five years. Here are the comparative figures for August,Jeginning with 1912: 1,12 191. 1914 HIS . t Ml 211 16a 21 219 Thus far in 1916 there have been 1,723 marriage licenses issued.' At $2 rach, these documents have poured $3,446 into Douglas county coffers. June, 1916, was the record month dur-; 'mg the five years, 331 licenses being issued. Many More Births Than . Deaths During August The health department reports 273 births and 195 deaths during August. Owing to the Greater Omaha merger last year, there are no comparative figures for the consolidated city.

V- 4 Wf CM TtIS WAY J BUILDING RECORDS SH0WINGJ1G GAIN First Eight Months of the Year as Large as Twelve Months, in 1914, AUGUST DOUBLES AMOUNT Omaha's building operations for the first eight months of this year were 35 per cefit more than the corre sponding period of last . year, last month was nearly twice of much as August, 1915, and there are indications that the total for the year will far exceed the total of last year. The figures: August, 1916, $652,835; August, 1915, $350,610; first eight' months this year, $4,550,357; eight months of last year, $3,365,820. Last year's total was $5,385,009 and the total for 1914 was $4,610,456. The first eight months of this year nearly equal the total of 1914 and within $835,000 of the' total of last year. ; ' New Work in Sight. Chief Clerk Isitt of the city build ing department states there is approx imately $600,000 in sight, for which permits have not been issued. The Board of Education sent in applica tions for new work aggregating $200, 000, permits for which will be issued this month. .The closing day of August brought in two large permits. v One was is sued to the Metropolitan Realty com pany in the sum of $200,000 for a lour-story brick apartment house at 619 South Thirty-seventh street.
