"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

"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

Ideal, It la fair chance for grain .mar

Kansas City, or Minneapolis had at the

"After a long rate war at Kansas City a
few years since the grain men themselves

greater part of 'the1 Minneot4 supply. And
Kansas City has a. strong' competitor at

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.
Progress Which . Ha .Been Made,
"Now, let us recapitulate the progress
Which has been made towards starting the
Omaha graitnaarkat. . fa ..

pendous' faun. - that the''faBra vol

grain annually which Is exclusively 'availa
ble to the Omaha grain market..' . r -
"SeftondRallway rates covering this vast
volume of business have been adjusted to
the basis of a fair chance.
"ThJrd-i-About thlrty-flye ' acres of . land,
have been purchased by tha Omaha Grain
Terminal corporation, so situated that It
will be connected with alt the railways con
verging on Omaha from the' west and with
all the railways but one . which will take
the grain eastward. This thirty-five acrea
is available as a atartar fur the sites of
elevators, mills, etc.
"Our guests are ")vlted to visit., these
Omahagraln, terminals, and I afr . su.rV;I
am justified in extending in: In vttwtloa,-. to

there and. Mr. BUckney made a short talk
of general nature. 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."

founded on the terms, of the constitutional
appendix end the latter could not ho elim

rending of these treaties.
Congress can appreciate that within the
precise terms or the Flatt amendment
Cuba has obtained no few advantages. Of
the two forms of cession of naval coaling
stations by sale or by lease the one least
harmful to Cuban sentiment Was adopted
and the smAllext limit ai4 to the number
of stations granted was made, the regula

P. E. Taylor, county attorney of Burt
county, telephoned the police station last
night that two strangers had eontldenced

Oakland, out of $1.W0 yesterday afternoon.
"he two men who got the money arrived

at the hotel a W. 11. Harris of Omaha and
J. B. Culver of St. Joaeph. After meeting
Jacohson they made a deal with him to

town by a telegram. They appearett

farmer that they had located a much better
larm tnan nis at a lower price, but did not
possess money sufficient to nav for It. and
asked him to go In on the deal. It was
.ally arranged that each wa to put In
,600. Jacobson drew $500 In cash and got
cashier's check on the Farmers' National
ink of Lyon for $1,000. The check was
signed by A. L. Cull, cashier nf tha Flnil

that the two men had hypnotised him. He
said he had been under the hypnotic Bpell

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

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,
