H. Milntofh, a the represen tative of the Real Estate extbanpre: Attor ney F. T. Ransom, as the repreaentatlve of tha Vnlon Stork Yards company; General Manager Robert C. Howe, as the repre sentative of Armour Co.; W. L. Selby, as the representative of Swift and Company; T. A. Creiph. as the reprew ntatlve of the Cud- hy and Omaha companies, and A. L. Sutton, as the rwresentatire of the Hammond com pany, talked all forenoon alto the Board of Equalization as the representative of the taxpayers of Douglas county. The result was that hen the hoard adjourned at 12:80 for lunch there had been no vote taken on ny assessment and affairs stood apparently about where they did when the tete-a-tete bet-an. Commlesloner Hofcldt was absent. Attorney Mcintosh tried to get the board to act immediately on the packers and stock yards, accepting the tax eommlttee's compromise figures, but Commissioner Con nolly Informed him that the body "Is able to transact its business" and preferred to o to in It own way. Mr. Mcintosh and Mr. Ransom were a unit la urging the board that If the stock yards' personal as sessment la raised to M0.000 (the figure which the tax committee had announced as bavlng been agreed to by the company) Its realty assessment must remain as returned by the assessor, which is $107,710 cn the yards proper and J15.000 on lots in South Om.fc.tia, the total being 1122.700. O'Keeffe Makes a Motion. O Keeffe approved this and moved that If anything was added to the realty assess ment a similar amount be deducted from the $400,000 personal, but Chairman Oatrotn held this motion out of order and balked on the whole proposition. He said he had un derstood from Mr. Milntoah that the $400. 00 had been agreed upon as the personal aud that the personal should not cut any flgure with the realty if the board decided to raise the latter, which was not improba ble, he said, in view of the fact that com plaints have been filed egalnst the latter, fha discussion closed with the decision of the board to consider the realty assessment before acting on the personal. Attorneys Mdntof-h and Ransom were not unit, however, on the wording of 4ho agreement between the tsx committee and the stock )atds company. Mr. Ransom raised the voice of a holy and outraged mtn to Inform the board that he had, by a glance through the assesaors' books, dis covered that therein are entered assess ments of many men and firms of Omaha who have scheduled not one-sixth of the real value of their property, but only one fortieth, and he said that his company had agreed to the proposed raise upon the condition that all other taxpayers be raised rided to swesr all parties, and put Mr. I Crelgh under oath. The gentlemen re sented this mildly because the Jobbers w-era not amorn, and Mr. Howe left. Chalrcin Ostrom said he would have hlra recalled and placed under oath. Mr. Crelgh said that $470,000 represented the value of the Cudahy plant; that Its capacity was about the same as Armour's; that It baa 200 cars. 1.10 of which are assessed elsewhere than Douglas county. The Omaha plant, be said. In generallxlrg. could be rated propor tionately with the others. Mr. elby. being sworn, said that $400. 000 represented the fair value of the Swift plan; that Its capacity is 4 per cent less than Armour's, that It owns no cars and that be knows nothing of Its Insurance. Attorney Sutton, also placed tinder oath, pleaded that the Hammond plant contains not a dollar's worth of personal property, all having been sent to St. Joseph. The boilers and engines, he thought, would be rated aa realty, because they are bricked Into the walla. When all had testified the board adjourned, Instruct Ing them to call at 8 o'clock In the afternoon, when the board promised to pass on the assessments of their companies.

The hustling com mittee has done great work this season, re turning as many applications by the last of June as were returned last year by the middle of August. It has now been decided to a valuation equally fair. Mr. Mcintosh, j by the members of the committee to give standing st the Justice-champion's elbow, spoke up with equal vigor to flatly deny his statement, and to Inform the board that the stock yards' agreement had been without qualification. Thv exchange of denials continued some minutes without ndlng anywhere (n particular.' Parkers Have Their Ray. The representatives of the packers were certain about the things their, companies didn't own, but woefully Ignorant of the things they did. la substance, Mr. Howe said that the value of the Armour com pany's personal property in the county Is $487,000; that the plant has a capacity of T.000 hogs and 1,200 cattle per day, but kills on an average only J.000 of the former and SOt of the latter; that he doesn't know what Insurance the company carries and couldn't easily find out. as the insurance clerk la resident lo Chicago; that all cars tist-4 by the company belong to a separate company In Chicago; that he hasn't any Idea of the number of cars In use by the local plant April 1, and that he had never agreed to any assessment figure, but had told the tax committee to first see If Its figures were acceptable to the board. To this last statement Mr. Selby added that his only agreement with the tax com xolttes was based on Its Hgura of $262,000 for the five, and that individual figures had not been mentioned. Chairman Ostrom called their attention to figures In an editorial in The Bee, showing that In the census report the companies' Investment was given as $15,635,418, but the members of the society an opportunity to do a little bustling and it Is said that If each member of the order will devote one day during the coming month to securing one applicant the record for membership will be broken. There is do special work on for Monday night at the den and Omaha will be given another night for Its citixens. It Is ex pected that invitations to be present at sub sequent meetings of the knights will be ac cepted by W. H. Thompson, fusion candi dal for governor, and other candidates on the different state tickets will be asked to meet the knights at the den and devote one evening to pleasure during the campaign.

SCHEME IS TO RUN DIRECT FROM ECHO Air Line from Denver to Mormon City Is Considered I niprac tit-able oa Arronnt of ManntaJns Railroad Sotea. The Vnlon Pacific is credited with a new scheme for meeting the competition of the projected Moflatt short line from Denver to Bait Lake City. Reports from abroad indicate that the Vnion ra rifle will build a line almost parallel with that to be con structed by the Denver capitalist and known as the Denver, Northwestern at Pa cific. That the Harriman road will meet the competition of Its new rival is not denied by executive officials of th company, but that it will meet It by this means is em phatically denied. The Vnlon Pacific has another route or ut-nff in mind, already surveyed, and which probably will b adopted when the time comes. It could be constructed In half the time, or less, neces sary to complete the Moflatt short line, and consequently work upon Its construction need not be started for some time yet. This cut-off contemplated by the Vnlon Pacific la from Echo straight Into Salt Lake City, which would obviate the trip to Ogden and reduce the mileage considerably. But, as a matter of fact, the reduction thus accomplished would be insignificant aa compared with that made by a bee lln from Denver to Salt Lake City, If such s thing were possible. Railroad officials de clare It is not; that in order to run a con tinuous track from Denver to Salt Lake City It would be necessary to plow through some of the highest and most rugged of the Rockies, forming one solid tunnel for miles that would cost in many places several million dollars a mile. The scheme 1 pronounced absolutely impracticable by the Vnion Pacific. Bee Line Impossible. Nor will the Moffatt people be able to do this. Their route will extend from Denver to Salt Lake City not on a bee line, but will be run to the south and have to tig-xag through the mountains so much that In the end It will not have gained much In dls tance over the present route of the Vnion Pacific. And after the latter has reduced its course by building the cut-off from Echo down to Salt Lake City It will be In a still better position to compete with ths short line. The Vnlon Pacific has the route from Echo already surveyed and it Is understood that while on his recent trip over the sys tem E. H. Harriman approved this route. The Moffatt faction announces that they are not entering the field to fight any other road, but as a matter of fact they will have very good vantage ground should they de clde to become a little pugnacious In the future. Since the projection of the Moffatt line number of surveys have been made in ter ritory of that section and among these is one by the Vnlon Pacific from the terminus of its spur through the southwestern part of Vtah. The terminus is Callentes, Isev. and the clan is to extend this branch straight into Los Angeles. This could be accomplished and give the Harriman people good competition with the new Clark-Hill road which soon will traveree that country. With the completion of this route ths Vnlon Pacific would have a diagonal line almost without any detour whatever into ths southern California metropolis. The whole scheme back of the Vnion Pa dftc projects Is said to be Harriman's reso lute determination to make bis road a long link in the transportation chain which ia to unite European ports with those of Asia. It Is conceded that this dream of commer cial expansion and railroad supremacy can be realized In no other way than by laying the route from the two great continents through America. Sebastian Is Promoted. The local Rock Island office yesterday re ceived the announ - ment that John Sebas tian, for fifteen year general passenger agent of the Rock Island railroad and one of the best known officials In the west, has been promoted to the position of passenger traffic manager. . The appointment will take effect at once and his office will remain In Chicago. This change will have no effect In the matter of promotion on any local Rock Island men. Fate of Passenger Association. Discussion continues as to the fate of the Western Passenger association. It is main tained on some hands that its dissolution 1 threatened by the collapse of the immi gration bureau, but local officiate laugh at this view. One prominent Vnion Pacific man is authority for the statement that the permanency of the paasenger association I cot endangered In the least by ths recent failure of the Immigrant bureau or that there is any reason whatever for doubting the ability of the paasenger association to pull through what minor differences exist among its membership or officials. The passenger association Is a much older organization than the immigration bureau and was never dependent upon ths latter for it success or existence.

SOAP MEN IN CONFERENCE Maaslsetsreri Will Endeavor to Cnite on General Advance la Prices. The Western Soap Manufacturers' asso ciation, which includes representatives of the leading soap factories of the west, was in session at the Her Grand hotel yesterday for the purpose of reaching an understand ing as to the sale of soap In the western territory. About a dozen men are present from Chicago, Omaha, Kansaa City. Minne apolis, St. Paul and other cities. "Soap is entirely too low at this time." said a representative of a Chicago factory. "The prices of all of the ingredients of soap have advanced. Ws are paying more for tallow, more for potash and more for the wrappers. We had made practically no advance In the price, at least none in comparison to the advance in material, and some of the factories are facing a time when they must run at a loss or advance pricee. The representatives here today may have no power to make this sdvance, but they ran make recommendations to their houses and such recommendations will have considerable weight. "The soap men are getting together. There was a time when they would not co operate, and during that time the premium plan of pushing business grew, until today there are people who will not buy a rake of soap unless tbey have sn ultimate chance of getting a grand piano or a house and lot. There la no reason why soap makers should be expected to give house hold goods and musical Instruments to the people who buy their goods, snd there sre many reasons why sosp should sell as any other product, upon its merits. It is to discuss all these things that the meeting U being held.' INCREASE IN SCHOOL CENSUS Complete Hetnrns In from Elaat of the Elanteen Esssirrstlsg Dlatrtrta, Eight of the eighteen enumerating dis tricts of the city have been heard from and the returns show s gain of 274 children of school age over the corresponding districts of a year ago. For the purpose of enumera tion each ward is divided into districts, known as the north and south or esst and west districts. The returns thus far re ceived are as follows: ii.

T4 Ths falling off in the south district of the Eighth sard la due to the fact that the students of Creighton university were not counted this year, as has been done in the past, Ths faculty cxplaiasd is the enumer ator that that institution received none of the public money, snd that, moreover, many of the students were non-residents, so de clined to give the usual data It is thought that the school district of Omaha will not be in a position to demand this information, since the faculty are neither the parents nor the guardians of the students. Last year the school district of Omaha received from the state 142.414.87 as its share of tbe state school fund. The first half of the present fiBcal year shows sn Increase over the amount paid for the first half of the last fiscal year of 11,360.70. and at this rate, the total Increase will be about $2,600. The amount of taxes paid the district hy the state is in proportion to tbe number of children of school sge in the district, each child increasing ths amount by approximately $1.50. TALK OF PROPOSED CATHEDRAL Bishop and Priests Disease abject. bnt Make e Dennlt Plana. The annual retreat of tha Roman clergy men of the diocese of Omaha came to close Friday evening. Yesterday morning at Creighton college there was held a synod of the diocese at which the priests of the Jurisdiction were present, including secular and regular. Matters relative to the rules of the diocese were discussed, but nothing done of interest to the laity. Tbe proposed cathedral was discussed at the retreat by Bishop Bcannell and tbs clergymen, and it is understood that the building will certainly be constructed, al though the bishop Is not ready to make any positive announcement as to tbe time it will be started.

There is no newspaper in the United States published in a city of less than 150,000 inhabitants that ranks with The Omaha Bee, as complete, up-to-date and well edited newspaper. It is recognized as the representative paper of the Trans mississippi region. The Bee prints all the news; it pre sents it well arranged in readable form; it throws its searchlight on all public institutions without fear or fa vor; it has been for 30 years an un tiring worker for the interests of the people of the great west, of Ne braska and of Omaha. . THE OMAHA BEE Daily nnd Sunday per Year BY WAIL. 15c Per Week by Carrier Without Sunday $4 Per Year by Mail. Without Sunday 10c Per Week by Carrier. Sunday Only $2 Per Year by Mail. How The Bee is Made The Bee han without question the best me chanical plant in the west. The typesetting is done on twelve Mer genthaler linotype ma chines, and this bat tery of machines is kept in operation night and day, in order that the latest news may go into each edition of the paper. The printing is done on two double supplement Hoe preswes. These giant machines each have a capacity of 24,000 eight, ten or twelve page papers, or 12,000 siiteen, twenty or twenty-four-page pa pers. With an equip ment of this kind, The Bee is able to consume the least possible time in printing the paper, in order to make con nections with trains, and this is the rea son why The Bee is able to print later news than its competitors. The Illustrated Bee There is only one other paper in the country which prints a half-tone supplement that compares with The Illustrated Bee. The quality of the pa per and engravings, as well as the pictures, place it In a class by itself. The Bee has its own photographic de partment, so that noth ing of intereest to be presented to our read ers, escapes the eye of the camera. Bach week's issue contains Frank Car penter's letters illus trated from his own snap shots, and these alone are worth the price of a year's sub scription. The holiday and spe cial . numbers of The Illustrated Bee com pare favorably with the best magazines. The colored covers are works of art, and the special illustrations most pleasing. A Bigger as Well as a Better Newspaper. Most of the issues of The Bee are ten and twelve pages, so that it gives its readers a greater number of pages than its competitors by from twenty-five to fifty per cent Kot only does it print a greater number of pages, but the pages are over an inch deeper.
