10 THE OMAHA PXITA' BEE:" "TUESDAY, APIIIL 2!, 1002. TRUST OF KKC PRODUCTION HilrodfT Saji it Eeats Out ths Combine of Packers. LION'S SHARE OF PROFITS TO FARMERS Hlsrri Prices for Heef on (he Hoof Tarns Cioldra Harvest Into Pork, rts of Stork Raiser and Feeder. "If these people who talk about tbe bref trust weuld look Into the real facta they rould ascertain a condition of affairs that would demoralize their random state ment," said a, prominent traffic official. ."Talk about your beef trust; why. It la nothing compared with the trust formed by 'King Production.' All the ranters have to advance about the beef trust Is the high prices that obtain. True, they do, but I can show you that tho packers are not dak In K a cent more than they did five years ano, and If that Is tbe case, where docs tbe truat come In? "Last Friday a man brought Into South Omaha fifty head of steers, weighing about 1,600 pounds each as they stood. For thoae ateers ha got 7 cents a pound on tbe hoof, total average of 11 1 3.73 for each animal. Marvelous. Isn't It but nevertheless true. Now, Just explain to me how the packers re making so much money off beef that costs them 7 cents a pound on the hoof, even If their fancy steaks do sell at retail for 26 cents pound. Think of what a amall proportion of that 1,600 pounds Is left to be actual beef for sale. Hide, hoofs, much of the legs, head and mot of the carcass all Is trimmed off, leaving a com. paratlve few pounds of steak out of an animal which cost $113.75. "The Whole trouble Is simply that the demand far exceeds the supply; that con sumption Is exceeding production Just now by a margin almost unheard of before this time. flrarclty of Ileel Cattle. "Notice this fact in proof. I have re cently been out over the country. I con trol the traffic of many hundreds of miles of a railroad which taps the best section of the middle West. I want to say that there are not 100 carload of fat beet cattle to be found In all that territory we tap. Hot 100 carloads In all those hundreds of thousands of square miles. Don't you see bow valuable tbe few must be 7 Tbe farm era are almply coining money, especially those lucky enough to have a few head of cattle. A man came Into South Omaha last week with one carload of steers. lie went away with $1,900 In cash, that sum representing the sale price of that single carload. And yet they howl about the beet trust and the packers reaping rich re wards. They are making not a cent more now than when they were buying cattle at i cents a pound on the hoof. 'It la almost as bad with hogs. Send eut for a thousand hogs now. What do you get? A bunch of 6-month-old shoats. There gra scarcely any big hogs to be had. Proflt More Than Cover Feed. "It may be said that the high price of feed mora than offsets for him the high price the farmer gets for bis stock from the packers, but that Is not true. He haa a, big margin left over. Let me cite a case Id point. A farmer friend of mine had a bunch of hogs last fall and, becoming ap palled at the heavenward trend of feed prices, ha tried to sell them. He offered tbe bunch for $450, but could find no takers at the price. Then he spunked up, deter mined to take a rbk and began feeding them up. All winter he did this, with teed at 65 cents a bushel. A week ago he sold the bunch at a price which cleared htm $625 over and above all expenses of tb winter, feed and all. Thua his profits alone were more than what ha asked for the hogs in the fall. That shows how the farmer can laugh at expensive feed." Notes from Array Headquarter. First Lieutenant Laurence A.

Address Vu V. rlCb ftttfiaU t Y.j BRICKMAKERS GO ON STRIKE Demand Increase of from Ten to Twenty-Five Per Cent In Wages. The strike of the brick hauler has been complicated by a demand from the brick tnskerit for sn Increase In wages and What promised to be only slight trouble, in the opinion of some of the contractors, takes on a more serious phase. There were somo of the manufacturers of brick willing to concede the demands of the haulers, but others stood out for fear the brirkmakers would follow In the wake of the drivers. The Omaha Brick companv. with yards at Second and Dorcas streets, signed the scale of the haulers and Is the only company now delivering brick. This company thought Its troubles over when the demand of the brtckmnkers came as a clap of thunder from a clear aky to them and work was auspended at Its yards yes terday pending a settlement of tbe trou ble. A member of one of the firms Inter tested said: "Were It not for tbe demand of the brlckmakers, tbe strike of tbe haulers would probably be over. There were but few of tm who were standing out against this demand, and the only reason we stood out was because we feared a demand from the brickmakers. This demand has now romc. It contemplates an Increase in wages of from 10 to 25 per cent; that is, from 25 to 75 cents a day to esch employe. None of the manufacturers have conceded the demand at this time and there Is no telling what the result will be. We will hold a conference w".th the men tomorrow and we may arrive at some compromise." The effect cf the strike is felt at several places In Omaha where work Is in progress. The workmen have suspended operations on the Barnard flats st Park avenue and Leavenworth streets and several small jobs are waiting for material. Within a few days all work will be practically sus pended unless the strike Is settled, as by this evening the brick on the grounds will be practically exhausted. NAOMI FERGUSON'S MONEY Loan Company Which Advanced to Her Father Lose In Conrt. It Judge Fawcett has overruled the motion of the Conservative Loan and Trust com pany to compel Frank Crawford and the city of Omaha to show cause why the city should not pay to the loan compaay a Judg ment of $1,230 secured by Naomi Fergu son. Naomi Is the daughter of Charles Fergu son, a constable of Omaha, who absented himself from the city suddenly some months ago. It Is related that the girl was Injured by a fall on a defective sidewalk and that when the Judgment was secured her father assigned It to the Conservative company and spent the money on himself. In mak ing the assignment he signed himself as her father and next friend, not as guardian for his bond had not been approved and this latter circumstance Is one of the points of the suit. After his departure from tbe city Attorney Crawford was appointed guar dian' and se.ved notice on tbe city not to pay the judgment to the loan company con tending that Ferguson had no power to make tbe assignment until his bond as guardian had been approved and for the further reason that he had obtained no or der of court before making the assignment. Judge Fawcett dismissed tbe cause, but without prejudice In order that the loaa company may bring proceedings in equity.

PROBABLY WILL BE PUT ON IN MAY Steel Worst on Xev t'nlnn Pacific hop Suit Ready for Walls and Roof - Ueneral Rain In state. At present three long Northwestern Vnlcn raclflc through trains from Chicago west roll through Omaha every day, pass ing three similar ones on the return trip eastward. Information that leaked out this morning Is to the effect that this subsan tlal service Is to be Increased by th addi tion of another big train a day each way. Three years ago It was not Imagined that any more service would be necessary on thia carry for decades. The trio of dally transcontinental trains, in addition to all the local ones, were regarded aa com prising the most efficient and sufficient service anywhere in he west. The enor mous Increase of tourist travel, however, which has come suddenly In the last few years, with the betterment of the financial conditions In this country, bas necessi tated a revision of thia opinion. Last year 50,000 people went to Colorado alone. They were mostly from the far east. Investigations by eastern agents of the railroads during the winter have shown that this will be doubled this summer. It was hard enough to handle them last year; now It will be worse than ever without ad ditional trains. Enlarging the present trains was con considered, but that appears Impossible. They are now carrying ten to fifteen ccaches each and are having trouble keep ing the schedule. As a matter of fact they are not keeping It, and that Is one Imme diate reason for tbe urging of the new trains Nob. 3 and 5, averaging twelve cars or so, are simply unable to make up time when late, because of their weight. The new train will relieve them and also pro vide for a heavy rush of traffic this aum mer. Date of Change. It is planned to get this new service on during May, If at all. so as to be 'ready for the opening of the summer tourist rates on June 1. The scheme la to have the train run in between Nos. 3 and 6 west, and between Nos. 4 and 6, east. No. 5 leaves Chicago at 10 a. m.. No. 3 at 11:50 p. m. The new one will leave at 4 p. m., reaching Omaha at 6 p. ra. and Denver at 9 p. m. the next day. The eastbound one will leave Denver at 7 a. m., reaching Omaha at 10 p. m. tbe same day and Chi cago at 12 noon the following day. Both will be fast through trains, not local. The chair car and sleeper for Denver which are now carried on No. 3 to Julea- burg and then cut out and run down on the branch will be carried on the new westbound train. In other words, the new trains will be Denver-Chicago affairs. The second great step in the construction of the new Union Pacific shop Is now prac tically finished. Tbe last of the steel work has been erected and now, with founda tions and framework done, the walls and roof are to come before the equipment la finally Installed and tbe men set to work In the huge structure. Rain Thiinahont the State. Three traveling passenger agents for Omaha railroads who make their headquar ters in thia city covered .Nebraska pretty thoroughly last week and came Into th city yesterday with the latest rain and crop newa from tbe different sections they vis ited. Herbert Howell of the Chicago, Mil waukee Sc. Bt. Paul road was In tbe North Platte country. Said he; "The rain was everything we wanted In the north half of the atate. People do not realize what an Immense fall it waa nor what it meana to Nebraska, coming when It did. All the North Platte country had its thirst slaked entirely." Samuel North of th Illinois Central was down In southeastern Nebraska, about Te- cumseh. Falls City, Nebraska City and other portions of the district. "Southeast Nebraska is not asking for anything better than it received late last week." said Mr. North. "It was general down there, and It was plenty." "This talk about the South Platte dis trict not getting much rain is a mistake," said John Mellon of the Chicago A North western railway. "I came in across all that western tier of counties Saturday, and from Gosper county in to tbe capital city there were big puddles still standing around In depressions. Tbe rain was big in the South Platte." European tourists and others destined to eastern points will find the low rates ap plying over the Nickel Plate Road to New York, New England and other eastern des tinations, specially attractive. The east ern terminals via this line are only from three to ten minutes from all ocean steam ship docks, and the service afforded is first class. Three trains dally from Chi cago.

SAVES CITY MANY THOUSANDS Modification of Decree in Orr Case by Supreme Court. i j. , MUNICIPALITY CAN RELEVY CURBING TAX Important Rutins; br District Conrt la Reversed hy Higher Tribunal Affects lBO,MM of Special Tases. The State Supreme court has modified the decree of the district court of Douglas county In the action broiiRht by William C. Orr and others to enjoin the collection of special assessments levied by tbe city to cover a part of tbe cost of paving and curbing Thirty-sixth street from Cuming to Callornla street In paving district number 239. It is said that this means, directly and indirectly, a saving to the city of $150,000. The district court had held that the city had no jurisdiction to order the curbing and hence had no power to make assessments to pay the cost of the same. The supreme court held that the city had jurisdiction and may proceed to relevy the curbing taxes against the plaintiffs' property. The city charter provides that curbing shall not be ordered on any street not or dered paved unless a majority of the owners of abutting property shall petition for the curbing. In this case there had been no pe tition for curbing. Rnllnar of District Conrt. Tbe paving had been ordered prior to the ordering of the curbing, but the district court held that the ordinance ordering tho paving was void for want of Jurisdiction, as no petition for the paving bad been died prior ta tbe passage of the ordinance or dering the paving. The court therefore concluded that as tbe ordinance ordering tbe pavment was void In contemplation of law ths paving had never bees ordered, al though the atreet had been paved. The city contended that while the pav ing ordlnsnce did not give the council Jurisdiction to levy the cost of the paving against abutting property. It nevertheless was a valid ordinance ordering the pav ing, and under It tbe council acquired Jurisdiction to order the curbing. The supreme court sustained tbe city In this contention and gave It tbe right to relevy tbe curbing tax. This ruling af fect all tbe curbing taxes In tbe city, and under It, if the taxes be enjoined for any technical defect, the city can at one proceed to relevy them. Saves Bla; Amoant of Money. Assistant City Attorney James H. Adama, who defended In the Orr case, states that there are probably (150,000 of curbing taxea upon tbe treasurer's books which will be affected by this decision. This amount, be explains. Is scattered through the 280 paving districts where curbing has ben put in and taxes levied to cover the cost of the ssme. It will also entitle the city to bave all the other decrees which bsve been entered In the district court during the last two or three years modified in accordance with the de cision In the case of Orr against the city. Tbe first decree under tbe new ruling was granted by Judge Keysor yesterday morning. Stlllmao Price, att'ya, law, coilectlona. A. P. U11U, notary, Z V. 8. Nat Tel. 172. LI 1 ICO.
