Th story tells of a recent trip of General Pa- ecnecr Agent John Francis of the 'It. & \ through the west , and draws the conclualo that the Durlingtou will at once build a lln from Denver to Salt 'Mko City , of coura the report U ridiculed at the general hcai 9uartcrs of the U. & M. In this city. In th general manager's oince yesterday It wa regarded as too foolish to call forth an olflch denial. The last time President 1'erklns of tli Burlington system was In Omaha , which ws not long aio ; , ho stated tu n Uee represents tlvo that tne Iturllngton would build no c > tcnslonn this year. Oenernl Manager Ho ! OI-CRC mailo the name statimcnt to The DC a short time ago when asked concerning Ih extension to Great Kails , Mont. , requested b the business men ot that town. Other pron inent oltlelals of the Hurllngton sytttcm hav recently ald that thcro would bo no rail read building by that line this year. A ! though the pant few months iavc show splendid Increases In the earnings ot thread road , no extensions ate contemplated till year.

Representatives of the Union Pacific , Hoc' Island and other western lines nlso pok lun at tha report that the Hurllngton la go Ing to build from Denver to Silt Lake , j prominent railroader eald yesterday "It'a easy enough to build railroads e.n papei But thtre Is considerable more to the stoile about the entrance of the Illinois Centra' ' the Plttflburg & Gulf and even the Uutcliln eon & Southern Into Omaha than there Is t this fairy tale about the Uurllnglon build Ing from Denver to Salt Lake. There PI .plenty of lines there already , and hince th opening of the Ogdan gateway , the Uurllns ton has enjoyed close relations and a profit able Interchange of btislners with the HI Grande lines and through them with th Oregon Short Line. To construct a line fror ( Denver to Salt Lake would be one of th most expensive blt.i of railroad building I this country. Although Burlington etock 1 up nearly to 88 , 1 hardly think the director are going to ypcnd a fortune In building line they do not need. " What Is icgirded as the joke of the who ] matter Is that the recent trip of Genera I'cssenger Agent Francis should be made th basis for the Etory of the extension. Had I .been a trip of President Perkins , Genera Manager H&ldrege or the directors aom credence might possibly have besn given th yarn. General Passenger Agent KrancU wa out on one of hla buslnciu trlrs , looking aftc the Interests of the passenger department Elmply that and nothing more. Although hs 1 everywhere regarded as a superior pae 'sengcr man. It Is not thought that he Is th "man who goes over the line planning ex tensions for the Burlington rallrqad.

PREPARING FOR GOVERNMENT BUILDING Will Slieml Several Dnjfl I.ooklnt Over I-\ioMllon | ( iroiinil anil Ex- niulnliiK I'liiiin ot Oilier Iliilld- to lie Hrcctoil. E. A. Crone , a representative of the ofllc of the supervising architect of the Treasur ; department , Is In the city In consultation wltl the nrchltccts-ln-chlcf and officials ot th exposition regarding the building to be crectei at the Tran mlsslsslppl Exposition by th United States government. The designing o this building Is In the direct charge of Mr Crane , and , his trip to Omaha Is tor the pur 11020 of making a personal examination oftth exposition gtounds , mid obtaining Biich bthc data In connection with the exposition as wll better enable him to Judge as to the chnroc ter of the building which will best suit tin situation. Mr. Crane came directly from Washing ton , arriving yesterday , and was takci In hand by Mr. Walker of the firm of Walke & Klmball , archltccU-ln-chlef , an old frlem of Mr. Crane. A trip was made to the ofild ot the Department of Publicity and Piomo tlon , where the perspective drawings of th several main buildings wcfc Inspected In de tall by Mr. Crane. The exposition groumli were next visited , and the location asslgnei to the government building was pointed ou by .Mr. Walker and carefully looked ovcrb ; Mr. Crane , who expressed the greatest satis faction at the very excellent locationvhlcl had been chosen for. the federal building. PLEASED WITH TUB SITE. 'After ' returning from his trip to the ex position grounds and the examination of tin sketches of the buildings on the main court Mr. Crane was decidedly enthusiastic ovci the opportunities offered the federal govern mcnt to make a fine building and a dlsplaj which would be highly creditable In evcrj way. The location assigned to the govern mcnt building , at the western end of tin lagoon and facing the grand court , was re garded by Mr. Crane as the most satis factory location which had been given to tin building of the general government at an ; exposition. "While the supervising architect's office , " said Mr. Crane , "has very little to say abou what material shall constitute the exhlbli to bo made by the several departments o the government , yet the facilities we provldi largely control the extent and general char ncter of the exhibit. After looking ovci your exposition grounds I can say wlthou hesitation that our office will be able U provide accommodations and facilities foi each of the government departments that wll almost certainly result In making the gov eminent exhibit at Omaha superior to thai made nt any exposition which has been held The location of tha building la all that coult bo desired. H Is a i.ornmandlng position nm will afford opportunity for architectural em bellishment which we shall be more tha1. pleased to utilize. " In reply to a question regarding the general oral design and plan of the governmcn building , Mr. Ctane lefcrred to a rougl sketch which ho said had been hastily madi as embodying the Ideas which had formei In hla mind as to what the governmen building would look like. The sketch showe. a building of Imposing appearance , conslstlni of a rectangular central portion , 200x123 fee In sl-te. with a cornice sixty feet In height and with wings extending from either side 150x125 feet In size , making the total Icngtl of the building 500' feet. The cornice of thi wings was shown to be forty-five feet nbov the ground. The central portion was sur mounted by an octagonal dome 163 feet li height to the base of the colossal flgur standing at Its apex , and sixty feet li diameter. At each of the four corners o the central portion of the building wer shown smaller circular dumes. A promlncn feature of the central dome waa a high drun surrounded by Corinthian columns. The main entrance to the building wa fchown by a recessed portico with six masslv columns. Mr. Crane stated that the archl tectmo would beet the Italian renalssanc style and Corinthian order , giving ampl opportunity for elaborate embellishment which would bo taken advantage of to th fullest extent. The dimensions given for this building wll result In a structure that will fill almos the entire western end ot the main coutt Its height , as compared with the cither mail buildings , will bo Imposing In the extreme and It will constitute ono of the most ntrik Ing features In "the magnificent grand cou ; where the greatest architectural effect wll bo concentrated. EXHIBIT LIFE SAVING WORK. There were other features connected wltl the location of the government bulldlnt which were highly pleasing' to Mr. Crane One of these was the grand basin or mlrroi which will lie Immediately in front of th < building. Mr. Crane stated that the lifesaving - saving service of the government was desir ous of making an exhibit which would con vey to the people some Idea of the function * of that department of the government , bul had not been piovldcd In several recent ex positions with the necessary place In whlcli to give practical exhibitions of the worli which It la doing. The large basin would afford a fine opportunity for a display of the work of thin department and Mr. Crane said that an exhibition would be given ever ) afternoon of the work performed by the life-saving crews stationed all along the sea coast anil the shores of } he great lakes , A boat house for the fetorage of the large life boat had been agreed upon py himself and Mr. Walker , Mr. Crane stated , and would bo constructed at the south side of the grounds adjacent to the basin , and evcrj afternoon this boat with a load of human freight would be overturned In the middle of the basin , the life line would bo shol out from the shore and the. crew rescued from the perils of the deep. Another feature which could be provided for to better advantage tnnn at other ex positions , In Mr. Crane's opinion , was thai of a camp for the yoldleru who would be utilized us a feature of the military exhibit and as guards of the government building , This camp will bo located In the southwest corner of the grounds , where there la a moat convenient plot of ground ot the propei size for a camp of ono company. In the morning exhibition drills will be given on the parade ground of this company , and the routine of camp life- will bo open to the Inspection of visitors. NA.VCTlO.XUn ilT fV. HOI , COM I !

Wheelmen and whcclwomen of the clt will bo especially gratified to learn that Ih abolition of the unsightly cuts In asphal pavements which have been a source ot au nojanco for years Is close at hand , Clt ; l-'nglneer Ilosewatcr has just completed thorough examination ot the streets and ha had a list made which Indicates cvcty old cu that remains In the pavements. Monda morning he wilt Issue an order to the Gran Paving company to proceed at once to re store the pavements and the work will b done In a few days. These depressions In the paved stivets hav been repeatedly complained of , but for som reason they have continued to disfigure th streets and Interfere with the enjoyment c riders. In moot eases they represent cut that have been made by the gas company t make connections with the mains ami niun of them have existed for one and In som Instances for two years. When a cut h made In the street It 1 presumed that the pavement Is to be restore as soon as the desired connection has bee made. Every plumber Is required to make deposit to cover the expense of repairing tli pavement before the permit to open the strcc Is obtained. No deposit Is lequlred from Hi gas coinriiny , as the restoration of the pave ment Is provided for In Us contract with th city.The The principal reason wuy the. cms hav been allowed to remain has been thelucam pletc recorels In the office of tiio Boird c Public Works. The ofllco'of pei-mlt cleil was a'jjllshed ' a couple ci years ago , an since tUn the secretary ha been expeete to take charge of the permit department I : addition to his other duties. He has bee : unable to keep up the work In both depart mcnts and In many caoes there Is no rccori l i the office to show whether the cut hs been repaired or not. City Engineer Hose water took the matter up several dayo age but found It neqessary to supplement th record by a personal examination of th streets. He has now located every old cu and from now oh all openings In the pave mcnt will be .filled Immediately after th connection Is made. In speaking of the necessity for some re ductlon In the expenses of the street depart mcnt , City Engineer Ilosewatcr says that li a couple of weeks more ho will bo able t dispense with' the entire street repair force with the exception of one small gang o possibly half a dozen men. The reconstruc tloi of Thirtieth strosl Is completed , and th men ate now working on North Twenty fourth street , which will also be thorough ! ' graded and drainer. ! . There are two or thro small Jobs remaining In the northern part o the city , and then the- streets will be li better condition than they have ever beei for. years. Mr. Uosewater says that considering th amount of work that has been accompllshe very little money has been expended. Mor actual work has been done in the past tw months than Is usually accomplished In i year. This Is the first time that a really cffectlv system of street repairs has been put Inti operation. Heretofore a vast amount o money has been expended every year In re oalrlng washouts that became washouts ngali every time it rained. This year the depart ment aimed not only to repair the damage but to so reconstruct the streets as to rrc vent them from washing out In theftifirc All the thoroughfares which have glv n tin most trouble In previous years have been EI graded and drained that the water Is c.irrlci off before It can gather force enough to di iuy damage. From now on the cost of keep ing them In good condition will be trifling , a n occasional trip with the grader Is abou all that will bo required. AMiri > plnt Good tiovprmiicilt.

To the Editor o The Bee : In this morning's Be I see a statement made by Mr. McDermot engineer at the Barker block , to the cffec that the late city ordinance requiring th payment of $3 for renewals of statlonar engineers' licence was passed through th Instrumentality of the National Asseiclatlo of Engineers for the purpose of driving ou thcae engineers who were able to make bu a meager salary and not able to pay a excessive fee. The statement Is elthe made through Ignorance of the facts In th case or willful misrepresentation. The ordinance In question was drawn u and passed through the Irijtrumentallty o the present boiler Inspector and Board o Examiners and their Immediate friends fo the purpose of making the olllce of belle Inspector self-sustaining at least , If not source of revenue for the city. When the ordinance was placed In th hands of the council "committee a telephon message was received by Mr. Andcrsot chief engineer of the smelter , and Mi Cowglll at Davis & Cowgill machine shopb to the effect that the ordinance In questlo would be corsldered by the committee o that evening and to bo present. The tw gentlemen mentioned are members of th National Association of Stationary Eng neers , but , the time being short , they coul not get any number together In time t meet the committee. When appearing before fore the ctmmlttee In the evening the found about fifteen members of Hello Inspector Unltt's supporters present , and nl In favor of the proposed change. Both Mr Anderson and Mr. Cowglll opposed th change with all the arguments at their com mand , but feeing that their efforts were o no avail with the committee against seem Ingly a majority of the stationary engineer of the city In favor of It ( as a member o the council committee expressed himself t mo personally ) , they , the representatives o the National Association of Stationary En gineers , reported the rendition of affairs to the otllccrs of the association , and It wa decided to get up a remonstrance , protest Ing against the proposed change , and ge as many engineers , Irrespective of whethc they were members of our order or not , to sign the petition. George Brush was In trusted to circulate the petition , and whei he presented It to me for my signature there were some twenty names upon It. signed It also , and In the following meeting after the council had already pasued the ordinance , Mr. Brush reported that he handed the remonstrance to the chairman o the committee , but that it waa neve brought before the city council when they were considering the ordinance , and finall ; passed It. All It costs to secure a marln license with the United States governmen Is a notary public's seal and oath fee o 25 cents. The licenses are free , and that Is all the city has a right to charge , that Is a seal o stationary fees of about 25 cents to cove the expense of Issuing the license. Any thing more than that Is an occupation tax and unconstitutional and has been so de clared In the courts of the country a various times. Peisonally , I consider the charge of $ ; for a renewal and $5 for nn original llcensa a robbery on the many poor men who are shoveling coal down In bascmenm iuo 1,0 for rats to live In , for about $30 or $10 per month for from twelve to eighteen hours per day and In most cases seven days a week. It Is , to say the least , a disgrace to the city to exact the fee from such a source J. A. WELZENBACH , State Deputy President National Aeeoclation of Stationary Engineers- .
