WANT IDEAS WHICH OFFER SOLUTION
Ofllrlat IlilraiMl that Effort to
(rub Omaha Urala Eirhn la
Coillii Masraatrs Orrat Deal
of Montr,
Th gTaln rata war has bn In pros;
ress long enough that executive official of
the vacioua lines have begun to sit up and
take notice of the decrease In earnings
of the properties under their charge. It
Is said by thoan who are well posted that
the rate war will be the cause of prevent
ing some of the lines from declaring a
dividend during the next few months.
A freight official who Is well posted on
the rate situation has taken the trouble
to compile some figures to show .the loss
In gToes rerelpts to the companies owning
the roads engaged In the fight. According
to his calculations the tors to the lines
operating from Nebraska points to the
east as far as Chicago will be $150,000 for
the month of March and for the territory
Including Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa
which Is affected by the cut the estimated
loss will be $300,000.
The estimated loss In gross receipts of
the various lines Interested during the
lost two months Is $fl00,000 for the dis
trict, and for Nebraska the loss Is esti
mated at half that amount or irW.OOfl.
Using the past production and shipment of
grain as a bssls for computation the loss
for the coming year to all the Interested
lines, should the war continue until Jan
uary 1, will he about f.'i.W.W for the dis
trict embracing Nebraska. Iowa and Kan
sas, and for the state of Nebraska alone
It will be about $2,500,000.
Fight on Grain Ehu(,
"The Great Western and Northwestern,"
nld this official, "hold the key to the situ
ation. If these two lines could agree, there
would be no further trouble and the Im
mense losses which the various rends are
suffering would be cut off. The organisa
tion of the Omaha Oriiln exchange Is at
the bottom of the wholo matter. Had thnt
association never been started there would
have been no declaration of war In grain
rates. Every line, with the exception of
the two named, baa had enough trouble for
this time and Is willing to patch up a
truce and again try to make a little money
for the beneflt of Its stockholders. ,
"Some effort constantly Is being made to
try to get-these two lines together, but
thus far all attempts have met with failure.
We still are living In hopes, however, that
something soon will be done to stop the
trouble. Our chiefs are almost dally send
ing us word that earnings are falling off
and asking If we have not some suggestions
to make whereby they can be Increased.
"The figures given only Include the dis
trict in which Omaha is Interested. When
we stop to consider that this rata war has
extended clear to the eastern seaboard and
south to the gulf, and that every pound of
grain Is now being carried on a money
losing basis, some Idea of the far-reaching
results of the start made In Omaha can
ba seen,"

TOWN IN BIG HORN BASIN
ettlemeat Projected by Promoters
Wfeo Will Develop Irrigation
Facilities.
' A meeting was held March It at Oraely,
Colo., for the purpose of organising a
eolony to settle on the Hanover canal In
the Big Horn basin and start a town.
The town will be named Hanover and
will have quit a large population and
a diversified Una of business enterprises
as soon as the buildings can be erected.
Word of the organisation has been re
ceived by the passenger officials of the
Burlington In this city, and they are very
much elated over the prospects of build
ing a fine city In the territory which la
tributary to their line.
The canal on which the town will be
located was built by Omaha men, C. F.
Robertson and M. D. Reardon. The
canal, when completed, will be thirty miles
In length and fifteen of It la now ready
to receive the water. Herbert Ruasell
and D. E. Smith, two practical Irrigation
farmers from Greely, went over the ground
covered by the canal, and reported at the
Oreely meeting that It Is the finest irriga
tion prospect they have ever seen, with
the possible exception of the Oreely dis
trict. There are 84,00 acres of land in the
Hanover district, all ef which soon will
under water. The district' Is directly
tributary to Omaha.V via the Burlington,
and It Is thought that when settled It will
add greatly to the Jobbing trad of this
city.

There Are Two Coupons
One Coupon is good for. ONE VOTE
The other is a Prepaid Subscription Coupon, and
counts ten. votes for every 10 cents prepaid on a subscription
to The Bee. A prepaid subscription for one year counts
520 votes.
The First "Election" Is Now On!
Each winner is going to have a trip which will be re
membered for a life time. There has never been an exposi
tion which will compare with the one at St. Louis that is
the boast of St. Louis and from what everybody says, they are
in a position to make it good. Can you imagine a more de
lightful trip for some one who has been working month in
and month out without a vacation and with no prospect for
a vacation, except for the fact that through The Bee
SIXTY TRIPS WILL BE GIVEN AWAY
The Bee has offered to pay the fare from Omaha to
St. Louis and return and to let its readers decide who are 'the
people who deserve to go. It has selected
THE BEST ROAD TO ST. LOUIS
as it is the only one which goes direct to the exposition
grounds. They have built a union station there, where bag
gage can be received and checked, and where tickets can be
bought and are sold to all parts of the world, just the same as
at the Omaha station. This makes it the most desirable road
for an exposition visitor. Besides the road which the most
people will take is always the one that can afford to give
the public the best equipment.
Rules of the "Election
9
The ten persons receiving the largest number of votes at the close of each
"election" will be furnished at The Bee's expense as prizes, each a free trip from
Omaha to Ht. Louis and return, to be taken any time during the exposition.
o restrictions are placed as to where the party lives as a candidate for one of
the exposition trips.
No votes will be counted for employes or agents of The Omaha Hee.
All votes must be made on coupons which will be pulished each day in The Mee.
Pre-paynient of subscriptions may be made either direct to The Bee Publishing
Company, or to an authorized agent of The Bee.
No votes pent in by agents will be counted unless sent in In accordance with
instructions given them.
The vote from day to day will be published in all editions of The Bee.
The "elections" will close each Thursday at 5 T. M.
Votes may be deposited at the business oflice of The Bee, or sent by mail. No
votes sent by mail will be counted which are not in the Omaha postoftice for delivery
at 4:30 p. m. on the day of closing.
