"I refuse to become mixed up In a fight between two public service corpora tions,'.' said Mr. Beeson hotly. "What Mr. Mlchaelsen said la all hogwash. It Is too ridiculous for discussion. "Omaha has got as low fire Insurance rates as any cities around here. It Is not entitled to lower rates under the present conditions." "Will you express an opinion as to tha possibility of Omaha getting lower rates?" "Na, sir. X do not care to talk about the matter at all." lasaraaea Agents Arc .Silent. Other Insurance hreri who represent east ern companies here did not want to talk about tha matter.'

Me declined to go into the situation or to talk other than quoted, and even then had to ba urged. Zlmman Thinks Rates High. "I think that City Electrician Mlchaelsen Is right about fire insurance rates," said President Zlmman of the city council. "I agree with him that the rates In Omaha are much too high as viewed against the Im provements made in fire protection, placing electric wires underground and so on. I think, too, the methods he proposes to bring the rates down are good. The city officers and the Commercial club should co onerate in the matter. The council should refuse to authorize the expenditure of so other dollar for fire protection unless the rates are lowered. Incidentally It may ba recalled that at the Novemoer election tha neonle will be asked to sanction I60.OJ0 bonds for the building of two new fire en gine houses.

AMOUNT OF FFICE WORK QUADRUPLED aeisvenger Ta Law, aa All ltaslaess Htk Informed Knew, Vastly In crease Vol ante of Cnnnty Treasurer's Baslness. Anent the romancing of the senior yel low touching the Increased cost of oper ating the county treasurer's office since the scavenger tax law went Into effect one of Treasurer rink's deputies said: "Those statements are so purely mali cious and misleading that the public Is entitled to know the facts. The scavenger taa law, put In operation through this office, has quadrupled the amount of work i to be done. It Is beyond the power of the ; treasurer or anybody else to curtail this I work. The law Is specific, and definite In Its provisions and we have simply com- j piled with It. -To do so has often necessl- I tated night . work. It was unavoidable. Fdr Instance where the former county ' treasurer Issued 18,000 receipts In the like 1 period of time that tha scavenger law has I been In operation, Under Its provisions I wo have Issued 154,000 receipts. That the Income hss net kept pace with tha Increased work Is understood by every person who knows anything of the scaven ger law at ail. If there are $50 of back taxes against a piece of property, and the bid for that piece la only $5, there being no higher bid, we are compelled to accept that amount or bid the property In. Go through several thousand descriptions with that re sult and you can see what the outcome will be. The treasurer cannot do anything to change this state of affairs. He Is simply executing the law as he finds It. He can and does, however, protect the Interests of the county and the city by bidding In any property that does not bring the agreed lowest, price at which It should be sold. That has been done consistently from the very start. "To a person not conversant with the provisions and the practical operation of the scavenger law such stuff as the World- Herald has been printing Is puzzling, but that It is vindictive and unwarranted Is known to no one better than to the particu lar candidate that sheet is boosting in every way possible." Politicians are commenting on the fact that Chairman Cosgrove of the democratic county committee has found It expedient to take a two weeks' vacation with pay from his desk as chief deputy in the city Comptroller s office. In order to have a free hand and plenty of time In running tha campaign. Comptroller Lobeck explains that Cosgrove did not take the vacation accorded to sll city employes In the sum mer, and that, therefore, the taxpayers are losing no money by the deal. H. B. Zlmman, councilman from the Third ward and president of the city council, has come out with a statement as to his exact political Intentions. He says: "There Is not a word of truth in reports that I will be a candidate for either city cicru ur mayor, ine report mat I was anxious to All W. H. Elbourn s shoes no doubt was started to embarasa my can didacy for re-election to the council. I am annoyea every day by Inquiries on this score. As a matter of fact my ambition is to bo renominated and re-elected to the counelf I am not thinking or worrying aDout any other office. I want to go back 10 tne council because J believe I can be of more service to the people of the Third ward and the entire city" there than cuy cierk. as for mayof," r am simply not a candidate for the nomination and will not be.

Report comes by Associated Press from Chicago that J. B. Berry of the Union Pa cific has been appointed chief engineer of the Rock Island road, effective November 10. Me takes tha place of W. U Darling, who resigned. Mr. Berry is out of the city on official business and could not be located by wire. At his office and at the office of General Manager Mohler of the Union Pacific (Mr. Mohler being out of tha city) no one had nythlng to say about the matter. Mrs. Berry also Is out of the city. It has been a little more than an open secret for some two years that Mr. Berry might make a change. Perhaps It was a year and a half ago when reports came out that he had been tendered an offer from the Erie road. At the time he did not deny such an offer was made, but said he oon templated no change just then, plainly leaving the Inference that he did think of making a change later on. Mr. Berry went to the Union Paclflo with Horace O. Burt from the Northwestern In 1898 and has been with that road since. As an engineer his rank has been with the best for many years. Critically devoted to his science and almost painfully wedded to minute details which are necessary to the perfection of his work, Mr. Berry has come to be known In the railroad world of the west as a slave to his business and It Is largely because of these characteristics that his fine attainments have become so gen erally recognised. Mr. Berry, with his family, resides at 120 South Thirty-sixth street, In Omaha. . It was reported some weeks ago that Mr. Darling, chief engineer of the Rock Island, was to go as engineer of the Panama canal. It Is not known at headquarters who will be the successor of Mr. Berry. Mr. Berry will have a problem to solve as soon as he takes the reins Of his new office. It appears tne Rock Island nas grabbed part of the right-of-way belonging to the Union Pacific in Topeka and Mr. Berry has been writing strong letters to the land department of the Union Pacific say ing the Rock Island had no right there recent report or County Treasurer Fink shows he has been exercising his powers as treasurer to give the bond sink lng fund a boost.

The breaking of the allied rallmad agree ments seems to be the order of the day and the fight which Is on between the Burlington and Union Pacific brings up the fact that Northwestern and Milwaukee have been getting on the outs. It always has been understood that this unwritten agreement between the Milwaukee and the Northwestern has kept the Milwaukee from building the short line between Omaha has been credited with $739.13 Interest earned. This is a new deal in county finances that the county treasurer feels sure will commend Itself to the voters.

Only a Ptarter In Balldlng. "The new railroad building announced for western Nebraska by the Union Pacific and the Burlington Is only a small part cf a greater plan of expansion which holds tremendous consequences for Nebraska," said a prominent Omaha business man Tuesday. "In fact railroad operations are being planned for the western part of the United States which are hardly secondary In Importance to ths building of the Pan ama canal." This man claimed to have his Informa tion In confidence from reliable authority, and he evidently believed wHat he had beard. "The proposed Burlington and Union Pa cific lines will be of great value to the state and to Omaha," said F. W. Judson. "They will go through the rich valley of the North Platte In Keith, Deuel and Cheyenne coun ties and will hasten settlement there. Of course Omaha already has most of the Job bing trade In that country, but It Is Incon siderate as compared with what it should be, the Inaccessibility to railroads keeping the population small. The country Is di vided for the most part Into large ranches. whereas the valley is rich and can be cut up into a multitude of small farms to sup port a large population. The extensions also will Increase population In Lincoln, Frontier, Gosper and Buffalo counties." "The North Platte country has already felt the result of the recent railroad an nouncements," said E. C. Ames, who has large land Interests along the river. "Real estate prices have begun to advance. I figure that on the average land In that country is worth one-third more thsn It was two weeks ago. It Is bound to ad vance rapidly if the plans of the railroads are carried out, and the 'development of the country will be similar to that along the river from Bridgeport to Guernsey, since the building of the. Burlington Alliance Guernsey line a few years ago." 'Wakeley 'and Bnstls Return. I W. Wakeley, general passenger agent of the Burlington, has just returned from a trip In company with Passenger TrarQo Manager Eustis through ths northwest. One object of the trip was to look over the new coaching road from Cody, Wyo. Into Yellowstone park over the Sylvan pass entrance. Another object was to see the progress of the work on the government dam In the 8hoshone canon tot the purpose of storing the waters of the Shoshone river as part of the governmental enterprise in Irrigating 200,000 acres lying adjacent to the Burlington's Cody line. Mr. Wakeley said "All preliminaries In connection with the work of the dam are cleared away. Ths new road from Cody to the site of the dam up the canyon of the Shoshone is finished, whloh will greatly facilitate the work This excellent roadway will be utilised as a scenic portion of the coaching route be tween Cody and the park. The remaining piece from the darn, site to the eastern boundary of the forest reserve will be rapidly Improved. "We passed about 201) laborers further per fectlng the road from Pahaska log cabin Inn at the cast boundary of the park proper to the summit of Sylvan pass.

"After leaving the park at Gardiner we visited Butte and Great Falls, Mont.

"Wyoming is one of the greatest states In the union for undeveloped wealth and these roads will run right into the heart of this great coun try. Mineral wealth untold lies in tha hills of Wyoming and the oil fields are only awaiting an ou.itt to the commercial world. Cheyenne is now the capital of Wyoming, but who can tell how soon a new capital Will be required more centrally located. Look at the map. This big state has a railroad running through two corners, the Northwestern building in from the east and the Burlington from the north, but tha an nouncement of these new lines across the state and the extension of these lines fur ther In will make a different state. The capital may yet be some city not now on the map, for there are plenty of places sur rounded by a rich country where the cap ital could be located. The Burlington has rushed Its Ln and material to Bridgeport and the Union Pa cific to North Platte, so the construction probably will be by tha Burlington from the west and the Union Pacific from ths east. It is the general Impression Id railroad circles it la only a matter of time when tha Burlington will go right on to the coast. The transcontinental tonnage is enormous of road through the park.
