These companies em ploy twenty men at this point and ciglil regular teams , The monthly pay rol runs about $1,200. The Wells , Fargo .X Co.'s express own property in this eitj valued at 25,000,111111 , the probabilities are that that they will soon erect substuu tial business premises , The Now IJUml'nolllo Otia of the most important improve ments imuigurateu in Oinahrx during the year u the. new Union Pucilie bridge which is now being constructed over the Missouri river to take the place of the old structure , which had done service since 187:1 : , and which of late years was found inadequate to the demands of the constantly increasing traffic. Uesldes allbrding the company sulllcient room to transfer its cars across the river , there will bo two roadways on the new bridge for pedestrian * , and vehicles , which will bo of inestimable value , not only to Omaha , but to the people ol Council Hlulls and Iowa. The work was begun early in the year , and tbo new structure was put up on the site of the old one , the latter being torn down piece by piece to make room for its successor , or without a single hour's interruption of regular travel. The now bridge , like the old one , \\\ll \ be of iron and steel. There will be four through spans , each 250 feel in length , and three deck spans at each end 125 feet lonir , making ten in all. The length of the bridge -proper will be 1,750 feet , with 1.SCO feet of approaches. In the center will bo the double railroad track and on each side , u roadway for vqliloKi and pedestrians The total width of the bridge will bo llftvslx feet twenty-eight feet to bo occupied by tracks and fourteen feel on each side for the roadway and walks. The superstructure will rest on live piurs of solid masonry , which will bo constructed from u bed rock foundation by the pneumatic pro' ' cess. Tlio average depth of these piers below low-water mark is seventy-live feel Thisjiortion is constructed of a superioi quality of lunestouo quarried at Mun- kato , Minn. The portion of the pier. ' above low-water mark will bo made ol St. Cloud , Minn. , granite. The- tops of tin piers uro 10x15 feet in dimension , tin north and south ends being rounded seas as to give an oblong shape to the top , There will bo a suitable approach on tin Iowa side for wagons , etc. , and ono on this side , which is already graded. It i.- a regular street sixty feet wide , will be paved and guttered , and winds around the blull' from the bridge until it coir nocts with Leavenworth street. Four ol the piers are already Jinislied and UK lifth is rapidly Hearing completion. Five deck spans are linishcd and onu throitgli spun , with the false work foi anothci through span ready. The masonry work is in the hands of F. Saulnangh & Co , The iron and steel for the bridge are maelc by tlio Union Hridgo company , of New \ork. The construction , outside of the stone work , will bo entirely in charge ol the Union Pacific Huilrouel company , under the immediate supervision ol ( Jeorge S. Morrison , of New York , chiel engineer , who designed the plans , anil Assistant Chief Engineer Geortrc A , Lederle. About 150 men are constant ! } employed , and il is calculated that the bridge will be entirely completed by Jalj of this year. It will cost in the neighbor hood of $1,000,000. Omaha Freight liiircnn , The great iniporlancc of Omaha as n trade center , receiving and shipping point , and wondcrlul growth of its ox : ports and imports , has necessitated an organization among the wholesale merchants for protection against the ex tortions , mistakes , discrimination and negligence of the railroad common car riers. Consequently on Juno 1 , 188(5 ( , some of the leading wholesale men formed a frciirht bureau and very wisel.y placed in charge W. F.

Through it pass or ! relayed all the electrical news of the fat west and the Pacific coast , and from those sections , us well us the important telegraphic news from and to China and Jupun. The district of which this city is the headquarters embraces all of NV brusku , Colorado , Wyoming , Utah , part ot Montana and purl of Kansas. In that district are 1,000 operators , forty-live clerks , twenty-eight foruinen , ninety- eight messengers mid two battery inch , Tliero are 10,75 ! ! milen of poles and 20,112 , " miles of wire , The total number of messages sent from and received at Omaha from January 1 , to December lit , 18MJ , was 1,821,031 ; total number relayed during the same period , l,0'i.0."i , ' ; ! ! , There are hfty-eight oporutors ut tlio main ollico in this city , sixteen clerks and one buttery man , and six operators in branch olllcesinthu city. Tliero uro forty-live circuits out of tlio city ami U.OOO cells of battery in uso. The monthly pay roll of the Omaha ollice is $5,200 , while the act ual disbursements therefrom for general expenses runs from $10.000 to $15,000 per month. The receipts of 1880 have been 20 nor cent greater than those of 1835 , and tlio increase of work fully ! (5 ( per cen creator. The whole elisiriet known ns the ' -Third , " is under the manage ment of Colonel J. J. Diokey. ono of tlio best known telegraphers in the country. Many improvements were iniulo during the year entailing largo expenditures. Principal among these may bo men tioned tlio stringing 01 a new copper wire troin Hrownvillo to Denver , a distance of1U5 miles ; one from Omaha to Cheyenne , 510 miles ; ono from Chicago to Omaha , 4)3 ! ) miles , and ono from Cheyenne to Denver. lOtl mjles , making u grand total of 1,55 ! ! miles. New poles have boon erected in Omaha , repairs made , etc. , all of whieli contribute to the bnsinca-j prosperity oi the city. I'nolllo Telegraph Company. This company opened its ollico in Omaha , November , 1885 , and business has increased over since , the amount being sixty per cent more hut month than it wus during the corresponding month of 1885 , This is a good showing consid ering the fact that the company has only one line in this state , reaching to Marys- villo , Kansas , via Lincoln , Ne braska , but the contract is now- let for the construction of 10,000 miles of wire west of Omaha and leading into tins city. Work will commence us soon as the season permits. The Omaha otlieo is in eluirtro of J. M. Maddox and ho luu thirteen assistants including operators , linemen , etc. Tlio monthly pay roll is $550. MANL'KACTt'UES. The manufacturing and Industrial es tabhshments of Omaha have noticeably increased during 1880 , not only in num her and variety but in capital , worklii } forces nnd output. There tire at leas 5,500 skilled laborers in the city whosi weekly wages tend to materially swcl the great volume of the city's trade. Ii fact the increased retail business of las year over that of 1885 plainly proves tha laboring men in Omaha and the sur round ing farmers have been propcrou during the year. The now mattufactoric that have located hero during 1880 , all re porting business equal to and in mos cases exceeding their capacity , have thei own pleasing story to tell. All the eli establishments have branched out , am the trade demand of the year has proyci that further extensions must bo made n 1887. The Union Pacific shops report i large increase in work done.necessitatee of course by the expansion of itstrackagi and trallic. The smelling works filing i doubling of Us manual force required fo additional business already conlractet for. Distilleries , packing houses , brew erics , lead works , nail works , barb-win factory , founderics , machine shops , cte. all meet the inquirer with the reply. "W < are overwhelmed with orders. " nm many are compelled to run night am day to keep abreast of the demand fo their products. All this i ? the natnrii outcome of that common sense rule o commercial economy the nearer th producer is to the consumer the belle for both. Omaha has scoured the gooi will and patronage of a vast , wealth. and enterprise demand territory , and it i making substantial efforts to satisfactoi ily answer every commercial cull upon il Union 1'noillo Shops. During tlui year 1SPO thp work at th Union Paeillo machine shops has bee : far larger than any previous year , miti ; roily caused by the large extension of th company's lines and the incroasei amount of rolling stock required. Th various buildings , tracks , etc. , take u over forty acres , nearly 1,500 men ur employed altogether , of whom 88 ! ? ar skilled mechanics , The monthly pa roll of the latter amounts to $85K ( ) ( ( icncral repairing nnd machine work fo the entire Union Paeillo system is don in these shops , and the value of the wor turned out per month is estimated u $200,000. Among the light repairs dm ing the year were 15 ! ) passenger cars am 1,017 freight ears , heavy repairs , niuetee passenger ami forty-live freight cars No railroad establishment in tlio eouiitr pays higher wages ami but ono is mor extensive.

Itis the third larp cst establishment of the kind in the Uni ted Stale's , ami by far tlio largest botwcei the Mississippi river and the Pacifi coast. The company has invented am patented a steam hcutiiiK process fo stoiing , curing and aging its product which has proved a great success and : financial saving. A few months ago at artesian well was sunk on the elistjller grounds for the purpose of obtuiitin ] natural gas. _ At a depth of a few him dred feet a vein of coal was nlrtick. Thi has not been developed to any great ex tent as yet , but a company lias beei formed to do so. Should the promisee success bo achieved , it will revolution/ ! manufacturing interests in Omaha. P.
