"The location ot the prmlOrtlon of thla vast quantity of. grain, hi. respect to Omaha as Ita market Is unlyue.

'And, t'can ajlpasq (through Omaha on as 'short a 'haul and 'as cheaply as through Blair and Nebraska City. "The Omaha' grain market would there fore command 14o,t;00,P(iO bushels of grain an nually, absolutely without competition from any ether market. "The establishment' of the Omaha grain . market will not. therefore, in the Slightest degree detract from the grain receipts of any other market. 1 "And In this connection let me say that the Chicago Great Western .Railway com pany has the same kind of an interest in the grain markets at the other termini of Its line, Minneapolis , Kansas City and Chi cago, as at Omaha, and will do nothing to wards such an upbuilding of one as will tear down another. The mission of the Chl cago Great Western railway is not to tear down, but to build up. rrearnt Adjastiaesu of Hallway Rates. "I have also examined the ' published tariffs of the railways as at present ad justed and by comparing the .local rates to Omaha .from the grain-producing territory In Nebraska with the. through rates to Chicago and east I find that there Is prac tically spread at all stations between the local and the through ratea of from 12 to 13V4 cents, generally 1314 cents per hundred weight, "That for many , year there has been a proportional rate between Omaha and Chi cago applying only to grain brought Into Omaha by the- Union Paelfle railway of U cents per hundredweight, , while as to all 'grain brought Into Omaha' by other railways the full aet4- Uf)lttf about 20 cents waa charged Jor carrying suoh grain to -Chicago. 4 v'..-i - JV'.y t .',. "As this latter rata la from t to 1 cents more than thv spread between the local and through rates, it Is needless to ady that th n- 20-cent rata- has -bees 'a nominal rate and, that as a. matte of fact ho grain has beenshlpped' tinder It . "... "Tiie Chicago Great Western company has made, and Is prepared te maintain, the Union Pacific, proportional, ravte of 14 cents applying .oa! all grain Into Omaha, tegard less of the. point at whloh It Is produced or the railway which brought It to Omaha.- "AS theV largest pread .. between the through and .local ratea Is enly 13H cents, the Id-cent -rate te Chicago makes the sum of the two 'locals 4 to l .oent more than the through rate. ' The plan In i Sect applies the so-called principle of 'stopping Jn tnnlt applicable to Omuha by paying a penalty of to I cent per hundredweight", a privilege which' every lnsignincant flouring talll receives, but has never before been granted to this great city, of Omaha, except as to the Union Paclflo grain.

"After a long rate war at Kansas City a few years since the grain men themselves consented to pay a penalty of 1 cent per hundredweight for the same privilege. "At the beginning the Minneapolis mar ket was" charged a much higher penalty on a. large' portion of Its receipts, and even today la charged a penalty of about I cents per hundredweight as against. Its rival market at Puluth. "And vii Chicago, the most phenomenal Biarket town- Which America has produced. ' ,?s NICKNAMES. -. I . I i What the Jolly Srheol Principal , la Called.

"Minneapolis" naa a s'trortg -competitor at Duluth, which le eqnnly accessible to the greater part of 'the1 Minneot4 supply. And Kansas City has a. strong' competitor at the Oulf 'bit eqattl or more favorable1 con ditions in respect to railway ratea, but Omaha occupies the unique position of hav ing , the enormous annual production of K0.0no,00) bushels; so' situated that It Is free from the . competition of' other market towne. ! "The facta that I have stated prove that the establishment of the Omaha grain mar ket today la vastly ' easier - proposition than-was the t-atahttshment of the Minne apolis market a quarter of a century ago." Mr. gtlckney then reviewed In' detail the history bf the establishment of a grain market at Minneapolis, and continued: - What Coastltates Grala Market. "Such in brief Is the history of the start ing of the Minneapolis grain market. There were mills and a few elevators, just as there are a few elevators now In Omaha, prior tq the organisation of the Chamber of Commerce, but there was no market Bntll this vigorous organisation 'of more than 500 men, each striving to buy and: sell, came Into existence. "A genuine grain market requires ele vators, and mills are desirable concomi tants, but a few elevator owners and a few mill owners cannot alone establish a market. Kansas City has little or no more elevator capaolty than Omaha. The true grain market " commences when an ex change haa been organised, consisting of a large number of buyers and Metiers, tome owning elevators or mills, mora owning neither, and regular transactions are dally and publicly made, both for 'cash' and 'future' accounts. "The dealing In 'futures' la the method of dlstnlbutlng the risk of carrying large quantities of grain among a large number of Individuals, and therefore the legitimate trade In 'futures' Is an essential part of a grain market.

After breakfast they Were taken for a trolley Inspection of the city and then crossed the bridge. President Joseph Marshall ot the' Minne apolis Chamber of Commerce had a good word, to ay for the new railway. ' "We In Minneapolis are all glad Stickncy haa come to Omaha," he aald. ''The other roads that have -been, running put of this city, are all for Chicago, but, the Great Western . Is what we want. The business of Minneapolis, the coarse grain business especially baa grown tremendously,-. Our business on all sorts of grain haa Increased during the last year $22,000,000. - We want the southwest and. are -reaching out for -Its grain more and more. The northwest is, of ourse, ' wholly-ours; It 'la In Nebraska and the southwest that -w meet with 'com petition In Our growing demand" for grain. The Great Western will help ua through Omaha to thla field." Two or Three Elevators. 1 "Although I have no authority for r peak ing," said President M. P. Flower of the St Paul stock yards, "yet I understand that two or three of our, party are thinking ot establishing elevators In Omaha. These would be branches - of their companies. When the elevators are established there I no question that you will get the flouring mills. The establishment of elevators In Omaha would not be In competition' with Minneapolis grain Interests. On the con trary, elevator Jiere .would, be aa advan tage, to .our m(ljera. for- they. could diytw from 'this aou'ree of supply. Borne bf our big milling companies may establish branch mill - herei ' so that , the ' millers are not against Omaha, either.. ' "The ratea up to this time have been so high that jjur miller could not enter your market at all. but have drawn their grain from Kansas City. Now that you have the same rate the Twin City people would rather get their wheat from you, because of the shorter haul and for other reasons. We mill daily lO.OUO barrels of flour, which take about 400,000 busheur of wheat, so that you can e what an Immense demand we have. W have been drawing largely on Nebraska and Kansas for this, so that we can take a great amount from the Omaha market. When you get the exchange In operation the grain can be bought by ram- pis. The Minneapolis millers do not buy from th farmers or from the elevators, but go on the floor ot the exchange and buy from samples. So the exchange la a necessary first step."

Reoresenta. were anxious for a comnetitia i..t their engines. They raised the point rela tive to advertising, however, and after Assistant Attorney Herdman said the legal department had decided that no contract for supplies can be made without an official paper, the rouucll agreed to wait until thi. i . . , . ,Ion de'rl conaummation Is reached. John P. Ahrens. representlna- the tmat and E. A. Wilkinson for the Nott people acquiesced in this view. A mnlnHtv nf th. council expressed' themselves in favor of a test of the engines and both agents evinced a willingness to build engines and put them against each other In Omaha. Ther waa some discussion as to tho condition of the test, but this was dropped in view of the advertising obstacle, " Mr. Wilkinson offered to loan the city a small sited engine for use until an official paper is secured, but no action was. taken on this proposition. Councilman Nicholson surprised hla col. leagues while denouncing tbe Idea of send ing a commission to Minneapolis and Cin cinnati to examine the engines. "I would not trust anyone to go on that mission," he declared emphatically. "I have so little faith In human nature that I twould not even trust myself. In fact, I would not trust any nTen I know to make this trip and. run the gauntlet of fixing and doctoring to which they might be subject What We want Is a competitive test right here In Omaha in order that thla city may know what is the best engine and buy it." By the Informal action taken yesterday the council declines to approve the pur chase of a "Metropolitan" engine, a ad vocated by the mayor and advisory board, and hangs tho whole matter up Indefinitely.
