W. 1) Cornish of Now York , president of
the Oregon Short Line , who Is now In lha
west attending Iho land sales of the Union
Pacific road , nnd Inspecting the condition
of his own road , Bays that all that will bo
done for the present has been done In the
steps looking to the absorption of the Ore-
on Short Mno by the Union I'aclflc com
pany. Three-quarters of the stock of the
former road has been oxchaiiEod for the
stock of the Union Pacific , and this com-
| ) leU the transfer of the property as fully
( IB Is now contemplated.
"Tho Union Pacific , " said Mr. Cornish ,
"owns a majority of the stock of thu Ore-
Ron Short Line , and the latter road owns
n majority of the stock In the Oregon Kali-
way and Navigation company , anl under
three conditions the three lines csn work
toRCther nicely without any closer aflreo-
ngreoment. Therp Ih no probability fit yircs-
Ptit of the moving of the Short Line heutl-
ijiiarters back to Omaha. There mo good
roaiious why those ofllces should bo kept
uoparated the Union I'aclflc In tills city ,
Iho Short Line nt Suit Lakii City , and the
Navigation company at Portland. There Is
no conflict of Interests among the roads , and
nn Independent management of each will
lie maintained. "
I-'rom other Union Pacific sources , how
ever , It IH learned that the continuance of
the Independent management of the western
roads will depend upon the success which
attends the existing conditions. So long as
the Short Line and the Navigation company
Bhow a healthy business with satisfactory
not Income the present Independent man
agement will continue , but It there should
bo n. falling off In trafllc or a decrease In
earnings the needs of economy will force
a union of management with central offices
In Omaha.
Mr. Cornish says he expects to bo In the
west for a month or more , most of which
tlmo will bo spent along the road of which
lie Is the president , inspecting Its equip
ment nnd business. Ho expresses the
Krentest satisfaction with the showing the
road has made during the last year and
takes a complacent view of the future.

The time of the mcetlni : yesterday was

association meeting at Los Angeles in July
and the Baptist union convention In San

tial which It is reported the Santa Fo and

though It In sure to coma up nt the meeting
today. There will bo no trouble over the

CHICAGO , March 7. Notice has been
given by 'the ' Rock Island that It will meet
rates of the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern by putting into effect through Mis
souri river gateways a rate of one fare plus
$2 for the round trip nnd a one-way rate of
l.alf . the usual 'tariff ' rate plus $1. Thrao
rates will be applied to Colorado , Utah and
Oregon Short Llnw points.
From O ill aim in I'ort Arthur.
That the business mon of Omaha may bo
attracted to Port Arthur nt the tlmo of the
celebration there on March 25 commemora
tive of connecting the harbor with the gulf ,
the Port Arthur route will carry all who
wish to go from hero tree to Kansas City
and return. The faro from Kansas City to
Port Arthur will be $1G for the round trip ,
the same rnto really being given to Omaha
as to the city farther south. The excursion
will leave Omaha on March 21 , and Kansas
City on the following day. The excursionists
will arrive In Port Arthur on the evening
of March 23 , and will have a full day to
look over the harbor and city Before the cele
bration is due. The return will be made
early in the week following. The officers of
the road expect the concessions made to
Omaha will result in a large number going
from this point.
ToiirlrttH ( ioliiu : Went.
The trains west yesterday carried n
generous complement of tourists taking ad
vantage of the 'low rates to the northwest.
While the rates were not operative till yes
terday , It was noticeable that the early trains
carried passengers from Illinois and eastern
Iowa , Indicating that the agents of the
roads are hustling for business. The Bur
lington's No. S > carried a carload of people
who were going to BUIInga and points in
that vicinity. Whole families were along ,
which shows that Iho advantage of a low
one-way rate Is being Improved. The Union
Pacific carried a large number , most of
whom were going through to Portland , the
others being destined to various northwest
points. The local ticket olllccs did a good
business selling those cheap tickets nnd
there was a heavy business out of Omaha.
May Take Up I-Voilliiii-l
An Important meeting of the Transmls-
souri Freight Hate committee Is being held
at Kansas City , E. H. Wood , assistant
freight traffic manager of the Union Pacific ,
A. H. Merchant , general freight manager of
the Elkhorn , and George M. Entrlkln , as
sistant general freight agent of the Port
Arthur , are attending the meeting from this
city. The Burlington will not bo repre
sented from the offices here. Among other
things which will bo considered at the moet-
Cakes Without Eggs.
Observing housekeepers quickly learn thnt Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder is far superior to all other brands from
the fact that its use always insures the finest , daintiest and most
wholesome pastry , nnd if they wish to be economical they can
dispense entirely with eggs and use a much less quantity of butter
for shortening purposes. The advantage is not alone the saving
effected , but the avoiding of trouble and the frequent difficulty
in securing eggs that are fresh.
Cakes of every kind from the informal Griddle to the
stately Bride Cake can be made with
Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder
thus insuring their being light and delicious , When used in
Griddle Cakes they can be produced in the shortest space of time
und are always tender and delicious , and may be eaten hot with
impunity by dyspeptics and persons with weak digestions , Cakes
of other kinds made with Dr. Price's remain moist and sweet for
a muoh longer time than if any other baking powder is used.
Nothing so decisively settles the superiority of
Dr , Price's ' over all other baking powers as the bestowal
upon it of the Highest Medal and Diploma by the
World's Columbian Exposition ( Chicago , ' 93) ) and the
Special Gold Medal and Diploma by the California Mid-
\viuter International Exposition ( San Francisco , ' 94) ,

The purchase of the Poppleton property at
the southeast corner of Forty-first avenue
and Cass streets by the Board of Education
as a site for the Davenport school ia satis
factory to the people living in the school
district , with the exception of those who
wanted the school located on Lowe avenue
or east of that street. The price , $2GOO , Is
considered reasonable. It Is at a rate of
$520 a lot , as the slto Includes five lots.
The property will require some grading
before the school building can bo erected.
The corner lot le about three and a half
feet above the established grade of Forty-
first avenue and runs up to six feet. Only
a portion of this superfluous dirt , however ,
will probably bo taken away , as Superintend
ent of Buildings Bancker believes that the
building should be erected on a terrace in
order that better sewer connection can be
given.
When bids were first called for the Pop-
plctons offered six lots on Forty-first avenue
at a price of $150 each. This property , how
ever , did not Include the corner lot , which
the members of the board desired. The Pop-
pletons , therefore , agreed to give the corner
lot in exchange for two lots on the northern
edge of the tract of land without Increasing
the total purchase price. This proved to bo
satisfactory to the majority of the board , as
indicated in the determination to purchase ,
but the change in the property offered was
seized by the members who opposed the site
as an opportunity to defeat It. These members -
> bers insisted that other bidders should bo
given a like chance to change their bids , hut
the majority of the board did not agree with
them.

Money paid for diamonds is not spent. < v
It Is Blmply invested nnd well invested -
ed , too , as diamonds never decrease In
value. When investing money It Is hr
natural to place it in reliable , unquestionable - ( t
questionable stock. Thus , In buying <
diamonds , the safest way Is to buy
from an old , established firm , built on ?
a solid foundation and of unquostlon-
able reputation , such as ours. y
