"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."

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.

Thej Maj Be Necessary to Handle Greatly
Increased Traffic.

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

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
