L THE OMAHA - TUTLT BEE: TUESDAY. MABCTT 14. 1005. DRAKE SI IRS UP SENSATION JsTntmiew on Bridge Dill Subject of Much f ' Talk Among Legislator. DROPS MOn POlNTpS ON QUESTION Approprlatl Prnvldett y Mfir lasnllelat ta Properly Carry Oat Its Prevlalens ehaald It Ba , Passed. L IJNOOLN. March 11 In speaking of the furor iMiiwfl by the expose of tha "real Issue" Involved In the bill before the legis lature, known as, H. R. Zt, Robert Z. I irake of the Standard Bridge company aye hi an Interview this1 evening that it Is not surprising that the real facta con cerning; thin bill have not before this time been thoroughly understood by the public. There1" have been from time to time," be ays, "nines connected with the letting of bridge, eontracta, as is common with all matters of public contract, wherein per haps contractors taay have unduly bene fited by some peculiar circumstance in tolved In some contract. "But the bill pro poned to be enacted presents such oppor tunity for far greater wrongs than any thing heretofore, which might have been rrltlcised. Is dwarfed Into Insignificance. That It should be deemed advisable to en trust to one man, honorable though he may be, the control of a million dollars' worth of contracts wittlout such party being answerable to any power, save only tViat of his Individual honor, and tha source cf his appointment, would seem to place confidence 'beyond reason In the strength tf human character. It would seem that If legislation of so . violent a nature aa Is provided Jn this bill were necessary to guarantee the correct handling of the public funds when so handled by hundreds of oitlxens of this mate; la elective offices. la the;, cafe with county boards, that something, more than is provided In this bill would be necessary to guarantee that one man would handle such matters prop erly, particularly when his office Is' not an elective one. "I was told in conversation with the pres ent Incumbent of the office of the Board f Irrigatieu last week that he himself did not like to assume such responsibility as is plsced in him if, (his bll should be come a 1HW KIIU 1 111 1 1 1 1 i iitai 14V umiicu the appropratlon proposed to be made by this bill ridiculously small to carry out vproperiy me aims or me iramers or mi measure. i Appropriation To "mail.

In connection with this, ss a person of considerable ex perience with the work Involved, to prop erty administer the provisions of this mess ure if It becomes a law I say personally that I do not think his estimate Is really high enough, and for my own Interests If It should become a law I can only hope for a faithful and thorough administration of all Its provision. To slight the measure by a small appropriation for Its enforcement is to result almost certainly In an inefficient and consequently bad administration of Its provisions. The public sholild understand that this bill, if administered for the pur pose for which I apprehend the Interests outside of the legislature have been push ing It. will result In great loss to the tax payers and to the practical obliteration of the general bridge contracting business, and In this connection I desire to call at tention to the interests which will be bene fited In the event that It is so administered that Is the Interests of the lumber and grain trusts operating the line lumber yard systems through this state. That It Is of sufficient Interest to these people to engage their attention and support Is evi denced by the fact that not less than $100. 000a year, a most modest estimate, would be added directly to the revenues of this lum ber trust if the bill in Its administration Is operated as I anticipate they will en deavor to see that It Is. Is a fact; and It should be spparent that with a stake of a,ooo profit biennially (the term of the secretary of the Board of Irrigation being two years) It ought not to be difficult for the grain and lumber trusts to control this one state appointment, allied aa they are through the line elevators, lumber yard systems, with the railroad Interests of this state. Who Will Re Renefltedf "In whatever light the public reads any of the matter published in connection with this measure they should remember always this one question, Who will be benefited by the enactment of this measure? Its very framers do not claim to be certain of the result of Its application. Indeed. In con versation with some of its supporters they have said to me that they believed It would Increase the price of the bridges generally throughout the state. But from my knowl edge I tan only see that Its result is to throw this business Into the hands of the lumber-grain trusts. They are the people wno nave always been behind efforts to pass such legislation and they .certainly are the parties at interest, their friends, tne railroad companies always working In connection with them. These associated railroad, grain and lumber Interests have banded themselves together for the pur pose of securing the passage of house roll 2M. They have undoubtedly made an adroit fight, most skillfully covering up their own tracks. They have deluded and deceived good men. many of them from the rural districts, into believing the bill will be a boon to the taxpayer. By so appealing to the prejudice and passions of these honest men the allied corporations have managed to align some of the farmer element of the house to pull this large. Juicy chestnut out of the fire for the benefit of the railroad, elevator and lumber interests. There are many, however, of the members outside of the lnrger towns who understand full well the exactions of the grain-lumber trusts, who are understanding the import of this attempted .neaaure. The complaint has been made, strangs as it may seem, by some of the railroad, grain-lumber elo mcnt that I was keeping several of the employes of my concern, whose very bread and butter depends on the bridge building business, here in Lincoln 'lobbying, as they have seen fit to call It. If it la lobbying In the offensive use of the term to oppose a measure which Is designed to extinguish an otherwise honest business carried on by honest, hardworking men and1 so destroy these men's means of livelihood' for the benefit of so grasping a, concern as the grain -lumbii' trust, theaialWl may say Is that my Idea of what lobbying really is has been all wrong. These men have had no moans nor used any means common to the lobbyists except such means as are 'common to every worklngman when he desires to get from the officials of the state the pro tection which they are Sh duty bound to give him.

It has been snowing here most of the time during the last two days and while a con siderable per cent has melted as fast as It fell, there Is yet about six Inches of snow on the ground which Is slowly melt ing. The farmers are greatly pleased with the snow and say that the ground was never in better shape at this time of the year for a good bumper crop of nil kinds. The stock men In this country never passed through a better winter than this year. All were prepared with sheds and plenty of hay and the severe winter weather caused no losses to speak of among the stock men. Holt county has the reputa tion of producing more hay than any other county In the United States, and it cornea In useful during such winters aa we had last winter. Aside from the large amount of hay fed to stock last winter, there Is now being shipped from this county close to a train load of hay each day and hundreds of tons are being stored In the mammoth warehouses located at the railroad stations In the county. The individuals in the county have more than $600,000 on de posit In the various banks and are now marketing cream to the value of about 11,000 per week. They are therefore in condition to feel proud of results and have the very brightest prospects for the future.

Burnett, who was only a short distance away, saw the peril of his helper and shouted to him to get out of the way. There was a tremendous din at the time and it was evident that the doomed man did not hear aa ha paid no attention to the warning voice of the foreman.
