ESTIMATE OF COST By CITY ENGINEER luprmmrnl Tint likely o Be Made, s the City l Ullhimt Faodi that Might R Dertr4 to the rnrione. Th qurntlon of coniitructlnfr an approach on Twenty-'nth utrcrt to the west end of the C street viadurt 1 again hPlng coniilrlered by the city official. When the north and south approaches to the viaduct were built the roadway on Twenty-seventh atreet aouth from the viaduct waa ahut oft. Property ownera complained that by reaaon of the building of the aouth ap proach vehicle had to go weat to Twenty elghth street and thence south a block and east a block to reach residence and boarding hminen nenr the wpt end of tha bridge. When tlila question was first brought up an effort was made to Induce the railroad companies to pay at least a portion of the cost of a south approach, but this proposition the railroads declined to consider. Then the matter was dropped for a time. City Engineer Beal haa mads estimates of the cost of an approach and the amount of material needed. The cost will be close to $l,7u0 and the approach, if built. Will be 1H0 feel In length. While tha necessity for such an approach Is admit ted, the question with the city officials Is tha coat In the making of the 1W6 levy expenses were cut to the lowest possible amount and there will have to be a great deal of economy If this amount of money can ba spared for the proposed Improve ment out of this year'a levy.

Meat Trade Decreasing. Local butchers report a remarkable fall ing off In trade since the hot weather started. At some shops the statement is made that a large number of families are sating meat only once a day now, as the weather is too hot for roasts and the like.

To the Editor of the Bee: The Sun day Bee was In error In stating that had printed the session laws this year and would have to print them over again on account of typographical errors. The Woodruff-Collins Printing company of Lincoln has that contract and I had noth ing to do with it. There 1b so much talk In the State Journal about these state con tracts and they have taken occasion to criticise my work so often that I am some what sensitive on the point. If you would take occasion to correct this error In The Bee, I would appreciate it very much. T. E. SEDGWICK. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

More Money Laying; Bricks. Martin Johnson declured In police court Tuesday morning that bricklaying waa more lucrative than a position as detective. Johnson was arrested with an old soldier named Ralston, both being charged with being drunk. They were released In police court when Johnson said he was merely trying to get Ralston away from two con fidence men at the time of the arrest. Johnson declared he knew the two crooks and could deliver them up to Justice. He was offered the position aa detective, but declined on the plea that the trowel la mightier than the star and tliat 65 cents an hour on a brick wall is a better propo sition than taking chances with criminals. the advantage of buying butter perfectly preserves it a part as IVES GOES TO THE WABASH General Freight Agent of Burlington in Omaha Succeeds Knight.

VICTORY FOR, HARDWARE MEN Sic Van n and Maxwell Secure Conces sion oa Rating; from the Steel Corporation. A victory which is considered of vital Im portance to all hardware Jobbers west of the Mississippi has been won by E. J. Mc Vann of the Omaha Commercial club anl F. W. Maxwell of the St. Joseph at the meeting of the classification committee of western railroads now In session at Charle voix, Mich. These two men represented the Missouri Valley hardware Jobbers at the meeting. The United States Steel corporation was making a fight to secure a mixed carload rating on every article manufactured by its constituent companies. If successful in securing such a rate, the effort would be to make the companies of the corporation something of the nature of department stores for the retail trade, the corporation getting the cream of the retail trade and giving what might be left to the Jobbers. "The matter In Its present shape Is not for settlement by the committee," said Mr. McVann. "It Is between the steel corpora tion and the Jobbers. Why has not it been placed before the Jobbers for considera tion T" The answer given was that the rating would be so manifestly desirable to Job bers as well as manufacturers that the corporation had not thought of consulting tho deulers. Aftjr several hours' consultation the rep rosentathen of the corporation agreed to strike from the list all articles handled by western Jcbbers. Such articles were elimi nated by the two opponents of the corpora tion and the list Is now with the classifica tion committee for consideration. Over 1,000,000 acres of land in the Uintah Indian reservation In eastern Utah will be opened for settlement August 23. Regis tration for homestead entries will com mence August 1 at Grand Junction, Colo., and at Vernal, Price and Provo, Utah, and continue until 6:00 p. m., August 12.
