SAME AS NORTHWESTERN'S ARRANGEMENT
Latent torr laaleatee aat Jo C.
part Btnt Milwaakee aad
Mianarl Paella Has Beea
Made, a Reported.
Tha story from Chicago to khe effect that
tha Union Pacific and the Chicago, Mtlwau-
kea at Ft. Paul had entered Into a trafflo
alliance similar to the one existing between
the Colon Paclflo and the Northwestern re
calls a statement made In Omaha last
week by an omclal of the Frisco, who In
discussing the alleged compact between tha
Missouri Pacific and the Milwaukee, said:
"Tha 'Frisco baa been seeking a trafflo
alliance with tha Milwaukee for a long time
and now It looks Ilka we bav failed. If thla
deal between the Gould line and the Mil
waukee really has gone through it will be
a disappointment to our people, for they
have felt that they needed tha Milwaukee
In tha northwest very badly. There f no
other road left for us. ' The Oreat Western
would afford us no advantage, for It baa the
long rout between Kansas City and Chi
cago as wall as between Kansaa City and
tha Twin Cities and It la without any ex
tension In the northwest such as would ben
efit us. Tha time has coma when the
'Frlaco must do something in tha way of
getting a northern outlet."
Tha story that tha Union Pacific and the
Chicago, Milwaukee Jfc St. Paul had formed
a t raffle alliance, meets with moro than
usual credence In Omaha S"m of tha
most prominent railroad men In this city ,
are Inclined to believe the .tory, although
tha best that any can do Is to guess. It was
Impossible to learn anything deftn'ts upon
this snbject at Union Pacific headquarters.
Tha details of this new story are 'hat' the
Harrlman Una and the Rockefeller road
have entered Into a trafflo agreement
whereby the latter Is to get a Pacific coast
outlet from Omaha, the conditions ot this
agreement being similar to the one existing
between the Northwestern and the Union
Pacific. Thla la a legal contract which Is
stronger and mora binding than an ordinary
traffic alliance.
If the report ot this alliance Is correct
it Is said the alleged exclusive alliance
between the Missouri Pacific and the Mil
waukee will be blocked, but It la further
stated that some kind of traffic agreement
may be made with the Missouri Paclflo
that will give tha Milwaukee an outlet
from Kansas City to southwestern and
gulf points.
A Chicago paper, discussing the prob
ability of this latest deal, takea the posi
tion that ita consummation wou'.d indicate
that Harrlman's lnfluencs with tha
Rockefellers was mora potent than
Gould's, Inasmuch aa Gould'a props
sltlon of an alliance of hla Mis
souri Paclflo and tbe Milwaukee had
been pushed aalde by Rockefeller to glra
room for tha deal with the Union Pacific.
There Is considerable local aentlment
which runa counter to this theory, how
ever, for It Is tbe general belief In Omaha
that It audi a deal haa been made between
the Union Paclflo and tha Milwaukee It
waa brought about by the solicitation of
tha lattsr road and set by the Unisn
Pacific. In aupport of this view tbe argu
ment Is made . that Harrlman baa less to
gala by such an alliance than Rockefeller.
- Following up Ita theory the Chicago paper
says tha relations between Harrlman and
Gould have beea strained for soma time,
whereas those between Harrlman and' the
Rockefellers have been of a cordial nature
and have been growing this way during the
past year, aa many moves on the checker
board of railroad activity will indicate.
Aa between tha story that the Milwaukee
had sought aa alliance with tha Missouri
Paclflo and that It had proposed the com
pact with tha Union Pacific In order to ob
tain advantageous western connections, the
latter la given precedence In Omaha. By
joining with tha Missouri Paclflo the Mil
waukee could not have reached the Pacific
coast. The best It could have done would
have been Salt Lake City, and then to get
to tha coaat it would still have been de
pendent on the Southern Paclflo, whereaa
by connecting up with the Harrlman roads,
tha Union and Southern Paclflo, the
Milwaukee will have tha aama aa Ita own
' road directly to the coast, entering Califor
nia at Sacramento as well as Los Angeles.

I AKE 5 I EPS I OUtT NEW WARD
'
North
Omaha Improvement Cloh
Wants the Tenth Local Balll
wlek Established,
The North Omaha Improvement club last
night started a boom for tha creation ot
I tha Tenth ward of the city of Omaha, to be
I composed of portions ot tha Fifth and Sixth
I wards north of Wirt street. The matter
waa brought up by Erneat Sweet. He said
that two year, ago tha proposition, wss
taken up aud uOUtlog accomplished; that
tha Sixth ward haa representation on the
council equal only to warda with half the
population. He -said, that he had discussed
tha question with candidates, all of whom
.aid they would aupport the plan, provided
a majority of the people of the wards to be
affected desired tha-' change. He moved
I that a committee be annotated to secure sic
naturea to a petition to the legislature aek-
iDg for a change in the ward lines.
Mr. Beal auggeated that the matter
should be presented to a committee which
i will later be appointed to draft amend
manta to tha charter. Mr. Oatrom said It
wouid be unnecessary to designate the lines
as the matter must be settled by the coun
en after It haa been granted power by the
legislature. Mr. Lobeck believed the mat
ter of Interest to all parts ot the city and
that twelve warda would not be too many,
as there are other warda now too lirge.
A committee constating of Ernest Sweet,
A. J. Beal, J. A. Rockwell, Peter Olson and
Dr. B. F. Park was appointed to ' secure
signers to tha petition and to decide vpon
the ,lne, of the prop0Md northern ward.
The secretary was Instructed to n.i'lfy
other Improvement clubs of this action and
ask the co-operation ot tbsss clubs; asking
members ot the clubs and legislative can
didates to meet with the North Omaha Im
provement club next Monday night. O-e
membera ot tha city council also to be in
vited.
Previous to this action the matter of
light, was discussed. Ernest Sweet called
attention to tha new gas lamps in the
w V srniatr
nortbern part ot the city, especially east
of Twenty-fourth street, and a motion
was adopted thanking Councilman Lobeck
for his work In this connection. Mr. Lo
beck in response to tbe motion said that
he and Mr. Karr were working together
and that the territory west of Twenty
fourth atreet would be as wall lighted in
time.
The president of the club, W. A. Hansen,
said that alnca the Union Pacific strike
the Sixth ward haa not had adequate po
Woman's Work in Club
Tha manual of the Omaha Woman's club
for 1902-S will ba Issued this week.
The much-felt want of a place where
working woman whose salaries are less
than $5 par week can find a comfortable
home at a coat within their reach, haa
been partially supplied in tb. recent open
ing ot the Working Girls' home at Eight
eenth and St. Mary'a avenue, under tho
direction of Dean and Mrs. Campbell Fair.
Last year the building formerly occupied
by the Child Saving Institute waa rented
and furnished as a business women's club,
but this fall Dean Fair felt that, valuable
though this home was to women ot .mall
aalartes, thera was a greater need of a
home for women who had lesa than $5 a
week upon which to live and within the laat
week tbe rules of the bouse have been
changed. Slater Maude Cretora of the
Mlnlonlte sisters, has been appointed a.
matron of the home, which it I. expected
will be ready for occupancy within a week.
To begin with, no woman who.e income
exceed. S per week is to be admitted to
the home. Tbe rooms are all clean, airy
and comfortably furnished and 60 cents per
week is charged each woman. A large,
complete kitchen with gas rangea la at tha
disposal of all who wish to do their cook
ing there, 15 cents per week being charged
for gaa. There ia also a large laundry
where the women may do their washing.
Until the home is well started Dean Fair
will provide coal, gas and like necessities.

was decided to bring the matter to the
