Iff TITE OMAITA' DAILY HEE: WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 20, 1003. MARE RATES FOR Ali-SAR-BEN Lco&i Eailroad Offioia'ii Met to Decide on Definit. Reduction. ONE FARE PROPOSITION IS FAVORED Western Paittoirr Association K Jeers the Application, but Omaha Lines Prepare to Take I n- dependent Action. I Despite the fact that the proposition to lve a rate for Ak-Sar-Ren week of one fare for the round trip from point within a radius of SJO miles of Omaha was re jected by the Western Passenger associa tion, the rata will undoubtedly go Into ef fect anyhow, as was stated by Assistant General Passenger Agent Fort of the Union Pacific In The Bee. Official notification of the action of the association was received at the local rail road offices yesterday, and a call was sent out at once to all of the passenger of ficials of terminal lines In Omaha for a meeting- to be held Tuesday afternoon to take concerted action In the matter. At this meeting a decision will be reached as to the exact rate, and notice will be served on the Western Passenger associa tion that such a rate will be put Into ef fect 'by all of the roads running Into Omaha. The general opinion la that the rate will be the same as the original propo sition presented to the association. This Is almost the same as the .rate granted by the association last year, except that the radius of selling points east of the river Is Increased from 150 to 200 miles. The rejection of the rate by the associa tion Is not lookod upon seriously by any of the local railroad officials, aa the vote must be unanimous In making such a rate, and any one road can spoil It. Exactly the same end will be reached through serv ing notice as If the proposition had not been rejected. Ready for the Soldiers. The B. & M., Union Pacific and North western llnea have completed their prep arations for handling the companies of the First Nebraska to the encampment at York today. All but two of the companies will go by train, while the Wymore battery will only go as far aa Crete, from which place they will march to York. The hospital corps, which la located at Lincoln, will go overland to the encampment and return over the Burling ton. Three of the companies, lrom Stan ton, Wahoo and Omaha, will be carried by the Northwestern, a special train be ing used from Fremont. The Union Pacific carries the Madison company to Columbus, where It will be Joined by the Columbus company and car ried out over the B. & M. on a special train. Most of the companies will be carried In special coaches on the regular trains of the railroads, although the B. M. has arranged for a special for the Beatrice and W'llber companies. The B. & M. will also carry the Geneva, Nelson and Broken Bow companies and the Weep ing Water company from Lincoln. slarnatare In Ink at Window. A new edict has gene forth to ticket agents of various railroads throughout the west to the effect that all signature tickets must be signed at the ticket win dows with the companies' pen and Ink. It has been discovered that It was a common practice among ticket scalpers to furnish prospective sellers of the return stub of excursion tickets with a fountain pen, filled with an ink that fades out rapidly, to algn their tickets. The signature, having laded out. la filled In again by the pur chaser of the return stub and. any trouble as to difference In signatures or means of Identification is done away with. Will Test the taw. The Texas railroad commission hag again asserted Its authority over the railroads of Texas in a letter, which is addressed to General Manager Egan of the Fort Worth and Denver City railroad. The letter Is the outgrowth of one complaint made against the railroad because of a colored person eating on one of the company's diners. The Texas law requires separate Pullmans and chair cars for white and colored persons and the railroad commis sion asserts that It will test the validity of allowing colored persons to eat on a diner If any more complaints are entered with It.

The taste of 13 so delicious and satisfying that you' 11 want more. Ask your grocer tsm Malt-Too flakes : t W. F. Johnson has returned from the Pa rlflc coast, where he has been since early In July. Speaking of conditions In California he said: "The fruit grower seems uniformly dissat isfied and discouraged, except as he has hopes of selling out to a tenderfoot from the east. He Is not dissatisfied because he cannot raise fruit or because his orchards have to be renewed with too great fre quency, but because when Ms harvest Is over he has nothing. The Fruit Shippers' association, which Is an exact twin of the elevator combine , of Nebraska, has every thingtrees, vines and all unless he takes care. If he has been so unfortunate as to borrow money there will be no question about It being trees, vines and all. This Is on the one hand. If, on the other, he has to make Improvements, his lumber will cost him ICS a thousand and fence posts So. cents apiece. Lumber at Portland or Tacoma at the mill la worth $10 a thousand and fence posts 6 cents apiece. Whether by water or rail, it makes no difference; the lumber combine, an adjunct also of the Transporta tion company, takes its pound of flesh. But the miner who has a ledge of ore some place up In the mountain Is better off. If there ia a smelter next door, yes, if not, no. If the ore has to be shipped, the rate Is fixed according to the value of the ore as returned by the smelter and Is almost or al together prohibitive unless the ore Is very rich. .. 'At Leadville, oClo., where there are both mlnea and smelters, I was told of a differ ent condition. The railroads and smelters "are combined. The first will not carry the ore away and the second will not treat the ore at home except at rates that make min ing altogether unprofitable. Everything Is at a standstill and has been for several years. This la what Is known aa the freezing-out process. After a while, It Is almost possible of demonstration beforehand, the men who own mining claims and partly developed mines will be willing to let .go, and at whatever price they can get. "A few years ago Yaqulna Bay, the only harbor on the coast between San Francisco and Portland, was the terminal of 100 or 200 miles of railroad that did not belong to the Southern Pacific. All coast ing vessels and some ocean vessels stopped at Yaqulna Bay, and a most valuable out let was furnished to central Oregon. Now no coasting or ocean vessel stops, and the. mouth of the harbor is drifting full of snd. Some hundreds of thousands of dol lars expended by the government In the way of temporary work in preparation for making the harbor good for all future time, has been wasted. What happened? The Southern Pacific got control of the cross-line of road, and congress for some reason failed to make an appropriation for finishing the work begun, at Yaqulna Bay. Yaqulna Bay Is a port of entry. It did $7 worth of business . last year. It is safe to assume that the shipping out was a little greater than the shipping In of foreign goods. Ten or a thousand times greater would make no difference. Central Oregon Is shut up to one -outlet, as before. "I think I notloed In some paper, aa I came across the state, that the railroads of Nebraska would hardly be able to han dle the grain and stock of the state this fall; that serious shortage of cars was looked for, and so it had been agreed upon that the rate on stock should be raised September B 8 or 10 per cent. "Will the governor call an extra session of the legis lature, or would it be worth while? Will the maximum freight rate case be taken into court again, or would this be worth while? The average freight rate In Ne braska on grain Is almost twice the aver age rate In Iowa. If the average rate on stock Is now or later made double the Iowa rate who will care? Not the governor, or the legislature, or the courts, under present conditions. Might not the producers or consumers become Interested? One could hardly be set down as unpatriotlo if he expressed simply the wish that the ad vantage of the wealth produced by his own state especially benefit his own state until at least it has reached secure and good footing. Then, if Nebraska wants to build up a wealthy class in New York or some place, that will be Nebraska's business. Will Do All This for You.

Hundreds of prisoners have languished In the Douglas county Jail for hundreds of days mora than required by the law. ac cording to Judge 81abaugh, Police Judge Berka and City Prosecutor Lee. Since the Jail was hullt prisoners servjng out fines Imposed by the police magistrate have done so at the rate of $2 per day. The law ex pressly provides that for all such offenses Imprisonment shall be on a basis of $3 a day. The rule has been one of precedent and tradition In the office of the sheriff. Now It will be changed and the Incarceration of men and women sent up for fines will be reduced one-third. Originally the misunderstanding came about through the ordinance giving the right to the police magistrate to sentence to "hard labor" which shall be worked out at the rate of $2 a day. Nothing was said about the working out or Imprisonment for fines in the ordinances, and the $2 a day rate was merely Inferred. The point waa brought up by Attorney M. S. Bouma, who endeavored to extradite a client. H,enry Irish, who had, been fined for assault and battery and had no money. Other technical points arose, so that the controversy over the jail rate did not come oefore Judge Slabaught for a ruling, but he and Sheriff Power made a personal In vestigation, which resulted In a change of rules. Watch Is Found. Bessie Hamilton and Dan Avery, living at !6i9 Davenport, were urrested Tuesday afternoon on a charge of petit larceny. The complainant ia Ada Stacey, living at lomi South Thirteenth street. She says that yes terday evening she and the other woman were together and that In parting they em braced each other very affectionately. After the break-away her gold watch was miss ing. It could not be found and Bhe com plained to the police. When the arrest wan made the prisoners were coming from their room and the watch was found In Avery's pocket. He said he bad found It on the floor of the room, where the two had been when the timepiece disappeared.
