The viewing of the proposed exposition
filtes by the Chicago engineers employed to
report upon the advantages and disadvan
tages of each was Completed jcsterday.
Accompanied by John Daughcrty the engi
neers drove to the locality which has been
designed the "Kaul Omaha site , " and In
spected the land lying between Cutoff and
Florence lakes which haa been offered for
a site. The points of vantage \\cru pointed
out by Mr. Daughcrty and the surroundings
vvcro carefully examined by the experts.
The party returned to the city about noon
and the time before Saturday afternoon will
bo spent by the engineers In preparing their
report to the directors , which will bo pre-
ocntcd at the meeting Saturday afternoon ,
Tuesday niornlug the engineers were
tnlicn In charge at 8-30 o'clock by the com
mittee appointed by th South Side Improve
ment club nnd were shown the beauties of
lllvorvlow park. The committee comprised
r. K. Darling. John Powers , U Stunt , r. J.
Kaspnr. Leo Kstcllo and Dr. W H. Hanchctt.
Tour carriages 'were required to convey the
party to the park. They proceeded by
way of the boulevard entrance on Sixth
street and entered the park at the north
end. The party alighted and walked over
the entire grounds which It Is proposed to
utilize ns a site. The escort took good
care that none of the arguments In favor of
tholr slto were overlooked , and they ex
plained very fully Just how they thought the
grounds should bo laid out. It was stated
by Bomo of the party that the South Side'
club would do whatever grading might ho
necessary to rul the ground * in the required
condition to commence building operations
In the afternoon the experts were shown
the nimwood park site by W. II. Bennett
The party examined the advantages offered
by the park and the adjacent fair grounds ,
the railroad facilities and other means of
reaching the spot , the general character of
the buildings already constructed on the
fair grounds and all other'1 points of ad-
Mintnsi that Its advocates claim for this.

The report of tlio government treasury de
partment , Just Issued , gives the following
figures on domestic exports from this
country. These figures show that Now York
has fallen off In the amount of corn exported ,
while the amount shipped out of Baltimore ,
Norfolk and Newport News has trebled
That the grain movement has a decidedly
southern trend Is shown by the fact that
Gpl" < > ston' export of corn for 1890 Is more
than live times as great as It was during
then ro'edfng jear.
The totul exports of corn during the pist
year amounted to 128,600,000 bushels. In
1895 the export was but 01,500,000 bushels.

tive. The men say that the- clerk assigned
each to a dlffetcnt room and a vvormn nc-
companlcd each. In consequence of these

There Is every Indication that the resolu
tion Introduced by Councilman Christie al
the last meeting of the council will bo
passed. The Jail proposition wao raver
favorably regarded by a niajorlly of the
council , but It went through nt the close ot
last jear as the result of a combination by
which seve'ral measures that lacked a vote
or two each were pooled and Ihus pulled
through. In the new council Ihero Is u
general eenllmcnt that the proposition Is
.1 bad one for the city and It Is now pro
posed to rescind the action before any
thing further Is done toward carrying out
the contract
City Atlorncy Council saja that thcro Is
no question but the council can rescind the
contract If It wants to. The people who
obtained the plum will , however , have Iho
light to go Into court and HUC the city for
damages if they can show that they have
BI stained any damages by rt'json of the
refusal of Iho clly lo carrj' oul Ihe con
tract. In his opinion It would bo a dlflleult
matter to show any damage If the contract
was rescinded before the contractors had
begun work under Its terms.
In order that no time may bo losl In
notifying the contractors of the acllon ot
Iho council Is It very likely thai a special
mcellng will ho held In a day or two lo
pass the resolution which Is now In the
hands of Ihe Judiciary committee. Then
thu cltj clerk will he directed to at once
notify the contractors that the action by
which their contract was approved has
been rescinded. It Is expected that the
major will veto Christie's resolution , but Its
( supporters say they have enough votes to
pass It over bis veto.

The major's plan to effect a combination
of city officials for re-election purposes Is
receiving eome hard knocks. The exposure
of Iho scheme In The Ilee has led a number
of the officials who have been participating
In the secret meetings In the mayor's office
to ECO the real object of Iho organization
and the result Is that they will meet no
more. They declare that they have troubles
ot their own and do not propose to place
themselves on Iho altar of the major's
ambition. Hvcn City Clerk Hlgby , who has
been counted , on as a sure ally bjIhe com
bine , now declares that he Is not In It.
"I cxpecl lo be a candidate for re-election
mjsclf , " eald Mr. Hlgbj"and I don't
propose to elecl any maj'ors. " Mr. Hlgby
added that he did not know what shape mat
ters might take In the future , but so far ho
had not entered Into any combination with
the mayor. Nearly all the councllmen who
hope to be re-elected have also hastened to
assure their constituents thai they will nol
pool Issues with the major and that they
merely attended Iho meellngs In his office
under the supposition that the organt/atlon
was merely for Iho purpose of flghllng the
spring election. This leaves the major and
the Board of Public Worl.a practically alone ,
and since the major's scheme has been dis

Institution , or 3 lets than wcro on the
rolls a jear ago. The report also shows
that the cost to the county for feeding tbo
Inmates nnd cmplojea averaged 11.8 cents
per person per diem , this low cost being
due to the fact that a largo proportion ot

LOCATE AN ICE COMBINE
Local Ice Dealers Do Not Boom TTncasj

COUNCILMEN DECLARE THAT ONE EXISTS

If the Omaha Ice dealers arc borrowing
any trouble on account of Councilman
O'Mallcy's resolution , calling on the legis
lature to enforce the law relative to trusto as
applied to the local Ice combine , they arc
hiding It under a complacent exterior.
Several of the local Ice men wcro seen JM-
tcrday. None of them scorned to consider
the resolution of enough Importance to
discuss. They declared that If It came to a
test they could easily show that the prices
now charged for the product allowed only
a small margin of profit and that there was
no combination or organization that In any
way Interfered with -"the rights of con
sumers. The most that could bo alleged was
that the dealers had simply discontinued the
practice of cutting each other's throat" ! nnd
that 'was no crlnio that was amenable to
the taws.
If the assertions of councllmen , however ,
are to bo'regarded , the resolution Is not a
bluff. They say that nine people out of ten
who have been paying Ice bills during the
past year arc thoroughly convinced that
Omaha has an Ice trust and that the resolu
tion of Councilman O'Malley should be
carried Into effect. The councllmen who
champion the measure assert that not the
slightest ( lllllculty will be experienced In
establishing the fact that an Ice trust docs
exist nnd that It Is conducted for the purpose
of Impolitic exorbitant prices on the people.
They say that the fact that the entire city
Is districted between the various companies
Is sulllclent evidence of the existence of the
trust. They declare that every consumer of
tco during the past jear has been compelled
to buy of a certain dealer. If for some
reason an Individual wanted to change
dealers the other dealers absolutely refused
to sell to blm and he was compelled to buy
of the firm that had a mortgage on hit )
particular district or go without Ice. They
say that It would he easy to show that the
combine has been exacting exorbitant prices
through the jcar nnd proposes to do the
same next jear , and that the system fol
lowed by the dealers Indicates conclusively
tint they are acting In concert.
The Kecklcy anti-trust law , under which
the resolution contemplates procedure , con
stitutes chapter 111 of the Consolidated
Statutes of 1893. It declares that "It shall bo
unlawful for any persona , partnership , com
pany , arsoclatlon or corporation , organized
for any purpose whatever , to enter Into any
agreement or combination for the purpose of
fixing the price of nny article or product or
for limiting the amount to be sold or manu
factured , " Any "pooling" on the part of two
or more Individuals or corporations Is
definitely prohibited and the county attorney
of the proper county Is designated as the
official whoso dutv It shall be to piosccutc the
offender1 ! . The penalty Is a fine of not more
than $1 000 and Imprisonment for not longer
than fclx months , and each day that the
pool continues constitutes a separate offense.
Mure than that the Interests forming the
trust are declared liable In damages to the
perrons who may ho Injured by Its operation
and they forfeit all their rights as corpora
tions under the laws of the state.

LOCATING TIII2 EVI'OblTIOX.
OMAHA , Jan. 20. To the Editor of The
Dee : The proper place for the ex
position Is where the most people can
reach It with the least possible exer
tion and expense. That place would be on
the corner of Sixteenth and Farnam , but
as that cannot be done , the nearer one can
get to that point the better It would be.
Therefore I should recommend the Hanscom
park site as most available. It Is nearer to
Council Bluffs and to South Omaha than
any of the other sites mentioned. Half of
Omaha can get to It without depending on
any mode of transportation other than that
which nature has provided , leaving the
tianslt lines for the use of strangers and
distant residents.
Omaha has made several grievous mlsj
takes In locating public Institutions. Ono
la the State fair. I will venture to say that
If jou ask 5,000 residents of Omaha why
they did not attend the State fair last fall
they will say It was too far and that It was
too hard to get there. And those who did
go did not go but once , especially If the
llrst trip was by the electric line. Three-
fourths of our citizens , for this reason , have
never seen our new fort , notwithstanding
Its beautiful buildings and charming band.
The fort -was located In Sarpy county and
the state fair grounds near Elkhorn. Now
place the exposition near Florence , build up
solid between thcso points , and have a city
of magnificent distances
Why cannot this city sell , trade or give
away some of the outside farms commonly
called parks , get a piece of land near the
city land Is not nearly so valuable as wo
thought It n few years ago and place the
exposition on It. After that the state fair
and race track. Ono well located , properly
Kept , central park would bo cheaper nnd
ba worth more to our city than six scattered
and neglected ones. Have a place that all
can reach. Five .or 10 cents Is not much
to some people , but to a great many It la a
good deal , and often more than they can af
ford to pay for recreation or pleasure
Surely these people are entitled to some
consideration. Therefore let us have an ac
cessible , central locationHOBKIIT
HOBKIIT PURVIS.
OMAHA , Jan. 10. To the Hdltor of Tlio
lleo : I ECO you Invite discussion on sites
for the location of the exposition. I have
read letters from Mr. ( McDonald and otheis
advocating the Hanscom park site. It seems
to mo that wo have enough In tlio palk
now. BO the "permanent buildings" are a
myth.
It la too hilly and rough with the adjoining
ground for such purposes , making It alto
gether too -wearing on the pedestrian and
an extra unncceestry and unreasonable tax
on the patlenro and muscle of the poor
"chair w heeler. " Tlio directs to and from
arc entirely too hilly , making double the pull
on all teams and over which the hack and
canj alls all claim they must charge double ,
besides killing tholr tea mi , thus giving the
Humane society BO much extra labor. The
most Important objection Is the matter of
transportation of ( ho Itumenso crowds an
ticipated.
Wo all Know thcro 'In but ono line of street
railway to the park. The Thlrlj-fceeond
etrcct line spoken ofs \ misleading and to
unfair , as It Is onlv a spur of the ono line ,
every other car on the line luuuing around
thai way. So far as half or two-thirds of
the people of Omaha tind South Omaha walk
ing , there Ifl llttlo doubt of that If they
went , for thcro would be nothing to ride on.
Wo havn a tad experience of this great ques
tion and I he hilly streets with the tv.c joarw
of the elate fair. It has ccst the ( vclely
In ttiOBu two ) carR J25,000 and hag cozt the
city of Omaha many a kick from peaplu who
will never visit It again. Now , let us not
maKc this error In this , lite crowning event
of our city. Wu have plenty of level graind ,
icached by lovcl , paved streets , readied by
the larfiwl water main , the largest isower ,

any of your rcador . .can RUCKS the location
from the foregoing. It Is Miller park ,
have been among the ranch people of Colorado
rado and AVjomltig during the past nix
months , a great many of whom como t <
Omaha with stock nnd i arc well acqualntci
with the city and ills streets. Thcso men
sty should the exposition location be among
the Mils , as the fair 1 , ill will kill It among
n crcit many. I hnveinlso visited a grca
many farmers In wcitcrn Nebraska ami west
cm Iowa , where I am at work now , and the
eamo feeling existsinmong them.
I can give jou the names and postofllco
addresses of at least COO of them and eacl
will wrllo you If asked to locate the cxpcsl
tlon on level ground. '
Ono thing I neglected to say In relation
to the street railway service. All but the
Hatucom park line starts from the unloi
depot at Its present sltn. Now , taking the
oi/mlon of hundreds of people who will have
to bo relied on for patronage , nnd to Ignore
the lack of water for lakes , etc. , and It seems
to mo that no other location has the ad
vantages which Miller park presents.
Let us make no mistakes. It V. CHUM.
OMAHA , Jan. 20. To the ndltor of The
Hco- There sccmn to bo a preconceived plan
to have regular Installment ; ? of communica
tions through the channel of jour paper to
create rcntlmcnt In favor of the "Poor Farm
site , " designated under the more popular
name , hut misleading as to location , ns the
"Hanscom Park site. " The basis of the
appeal for this site Is , In my opinion , a
flagrant and gross violation of the original
Intention and declaration that this ttxposl-
tlon should be , llrst , for the great trans-
mUslMlppl region , that It should be upon the
broadest and most liberal conception , and
under no consideration should It be narrowed
to the local Interests of Omaha , or bo madu
to subserve the selflah Interests of any
class of her citizens. Now , here , nt the
Initial step of the first nctlvo work , the
selection of a site , comes the talk of "near
In , " "Omaha's Interest , " "gate receipts , "
"permanent bulldlnija , " etc. I would not de
preciate Omaha's Irtcrcst , or the welfare of
Its citizens. I would bring to Omaha every
blessing and advantage , nnd open , to Omiha
jcvery avenue to wealth and advancement ,
but would remind our people that the greater
benefits and advantages from the exposi
tion Is not to bo measured by "trade and
tralllc , " "gate receipts , " etc. Therefore , we
cannot afford to circumscribe the exposition
by selecting for It a site Inadequate to Its
demands In order to satisfy local self-inter
ests. These thing are Important , and should
bo In their mecsure subserved The location
will bo best for the highest Interest of the
exposition , the states and territories of the
traiifmlsslsslppl region , our own state and
city , which meets to the fullest degree the
broadest gauge requirements and demands of
the exposition , and ho most easily accessible
by every class of vehicle , and furnish easy ,
cheap and rapid transit. Distance Is meas
ured by time and case and cheapness of
access to the objective point. It Is practically
but half as far on the level as It
Is climbing up hill and down , even
though the actual distance bo twice
as great. The wide and boundless trans-
mlsslsslppl region , with Its demand
for space. Is compared to the compact tene
ments of Paris and Now York , and we are
asked to hold an exposition adequate to
the wants of this great region In a pre
scribed area of 125 acres , hardly one-half
of which Is tniltnble for buildings.
The World's fair at Chicago required morn
than COO acres and our exposition will repre
sent moro than one > -half of the biggest anil
broadest part of the United States , being the
transnvisslsslppt end , and the In
ternational contingent , embracing the
world at largo. The Nashville ex
position covers moro than 200 acres
and It docs not rlso to the shadow ol
our ambltlmi for this great enterprise The
Interest of Irrigation , oo Important to the
people of the western elates at this time ,
should demand that wo set apart at least 100
acres to this feature nlono and make U one
of the npcclal attractions.
The field wo cover haa great agricultural
and stock raising resources , requiring out
door opaco to make -proper and practical dis-
plajs , and the slto selected should compre
hend these wants , affording all the ground
necessary upon the proper level nearest to
the center of the city , considering Its case
of accessibility , cheapness and rapidity of
transit to and from.
H 'It ' Is the purpose * and design to direct
this exposition to the local Interests of
Omaha , let us proceed tot do this on a prac
tical plan that means something. Let un
use the money subscribed and appropriated
for the purchase of several blocks of ground
near the business center of the city and for
the erection thereon of suitable and per
manent buildings , containing convention
halls , museums , art galleries permanent ex
position quarters , etc. , that the states and
territories comprising the transmlstflsslppl
country may not bo restricted to the few
central msnths of 1S9S , but may maintain
nt the gateway of this great region an ex
hibition of their wonderful resources at all
times.
I would appeal for the greater and para
mount Interest of the exposition in consider
ing the selection of the site , conceiving that
therein lies the glory and greater achieve
ment for Omaha. Let us say to the trans-
mlssrsslppl ( section and to the world that
Omaha Is for the exposition , and not the ex
position for Omaha. Our people will , I be
lieve , bo lojal to the enterprise. whcUier It
Is dumped into the ravines of Ulvervlovv or
hidden away In the valley of the "Little
Papplo ; " but I fear they will not bo content
If It Is taken "over the hills to the poor
house. " Therefore , what Is the matter with
the Miller park site , with Its 600 or more
beautiful acres ? It. W. IUCHAUD30N.

WHAT HE SAID
He was a Washington County man Ho came to
Omaha with a few carloads of cattle , and incidentally to
buy a few things in the way of clothing for himself and
his boys. He dropped in to The Nebraska , as he has-
been doing twice * a year for the past five years , and after
checking his satchel and pulling a memorandum out of
his pocket he set to work to pick out such goods as ho
wanted and he took plenty of time about it , for he is
known as a careful man and a shrewd buyer. When he
got to the end of his list and everything was ready to be
wrapped up , he held a conversation with the salesman ,
that went something like this : Arc these your lowest
prices ? Yes. Same prices you always quoted on these
goods ? Just the same , They aren't any cheaper now
than they were in October or November or December ?
No. Well , Uiis is a pretty big bill and I think I'm en
titled to a discount for buying so much at this time of the
year and other stores are giving from 20 to 30 par cent
off the regular price. Can't help it , The Nebraska never
did run its business like other stores and our prices arc too
low at all times to stand anything off at any time. Then
you won't give me anything off on this bill ? ? No , sir ,
Not even 5 per cent ? No , sir. Well , you can keep
your goods ; I'm sorry to trouble you , but times arc hard
this year and you can't blame people for doing better if
they can I'm goin' to look 'round , He came back and
this is what he said : "Dinged if you fellows don't
'cm all. "
