seating Stulft and Company, objected to
Increase of the personal valuation of the
company from n57,600, on which' It wn as
sessed last year, to K0,0, retumed by
Assessor Reed. The real valuation, he
, says, Is 41.tKm. making- a total of Sl.nta.tyio.
Mr. Selby pleads that by ths building of
fht Q street viaduct the surface erasing
On that street Is closed and Railroad ave
nue, on which the buildings are located, is
twenty-five feet below the viaduc. Theso
conditions, he says, have resulted In great
damage to the property. Therefore, ha
grgue. the personal assessment should not
fee raised.
Mrv Pelby -makes the Same argument in
tiehalf. of the Omaha Packing company.
The company li assessed at $nJ8.010 on Its
personal property and $241,000 on real es
tate, a total of $."4,000. Mil Selhy says the
personal assessment Is nt least $40,uM too
lilKh and should be $St,000.
Thomas Crcigh pleads for a reduction of
the appraisement of the C'udahy plant from
$750,000, Assessor Reed's ilgures. Last year,
he says, it was $fC9.300. The company
made a return of $.'HG,xJS, which, he says.
was an accurate valuation of the property.
No action was taken In the case of uny
of the packing companies.

JUST TWELVE MONTHS TOO OLD
Hnalneer from F.ast Kefased Emplo
ment Because He Is Forty
61s Years of Age.
A graduated civil enginer of Cornell uni
versity, ami a man who hs had years of
experience In engineering work In various
parts of the I'nlted States, arrived In
Omaha Monday, looking for employment.
He applied first at the office of the city
engineer und was told no vacancies existed
which lie might fill. Assistant City Kn
glneer Craig suggested trying the I'nlon
Pacific.
"The engineering department of that
road Is hiring all the skilled engineers and
draughtsmen It can find." said Mr. Craig.
"They sre on the lookout for good men.
Your credentials should get you a place-
at once."
The engineer returned to the city hall In
the afternoon. He was still looking for
work.
"I Just missed a Job," said he. "I ap
plied at headquarters, was told engineers
were needed, had my papers examined
and everything was pronounced satisfac
tory. I was then handed a formal appli
cation blank to All out. One of the ques
tions asked my age. I wrote, "4V This
was observed and I was told ta write no
further.
' Why not?' I asked.
" "Forty-live Is the age limit.' was the re
ply. W cannot hire men older than that.'
"If I had known the requirement I could
have shaved off my whiskers and told
something of a falsehood, and got the Job.
As It ta. I am still open to engagements."
Assistant City Engineer Craig referred
him to several other places where engineers
are emplojed.

CONFLICT OF "STATEMENTS
Local Grain Men Insist Central Granaries

LINCOLN DEALERS SAY THEY ARE NOT
Ntate Capital Crowd's Denial Is
Likened to Its Attitude When
Ipdlkea Uoagbt Out the
Ferguson Company.
Although the officers of the Central
Granaries company at Lincoln flatly deny
that the concern has been sold to the Nyi
St hnelder-Fowler company, Omaha grain
men must Interested In following the do
lngs of the Fremont house say they have
knowledge that the sale haa been made
They say the Lincoln company's holdings
have been bought outright, although a
man from Lincoln brought the report
Tuesday from that, city to the grain men
here that some of the largest Stockholders
bad sold their shares to the Nye-Schncider-
Fowler company, giving it control. -
In connection with the rumor of sale It
was hinted that Nye-Schneider-Fowler had
stopped construction on their 1,7)00,000
bushel elevator In Omaha. This Is not so,
as work is progressing rapidly on the
foundation of that structure, and a large
amount of material for the superstructure
is on the ground. ,
drain men say the Nye people have no
need of the big terminal of the Central
Granaries at Lincoln, Just as Updike had
no use for the terminal of the . Ferguson
Grain company at Lincoln when he bought
that company's line. They bought the Una
on account of tho necessity for more feed
ers for the two larse terminal, elevators at
Chicago of Nye Jenks. the interests of
which are lnterv.ven with those of the
Nye-Schnelder-Fowler company.
Much of the concentration of busmen
at this city by the large concerns has been
brought about since the establishment of
the Omaha Grain exchange. The exchange
also attracts the grain of the smaller line
elevators and the single houses. In the
state are 1,300 elevators, owned by about
400 companies, forty of which ' are ilnu
houses operating upwards of five stations.
Of these elevators 350 ship to their own
Omaha terminals.

George Powell of Chicago was chosen
chief grain Inspector of the Omaha Grain
exchange at a meeting of the board of
directors held Monday. Tuesday morning

ise to begin his new duties July 1.
"The Importance of th selection to die
Omaha Grain exchange and to the grain
trade of the state cannot- be overesti
mated," said Secretary McVann. "He is a
man of wide experience and ope of the
best to be found. For six years he has
been training under one of the strictest
supervisors in the country, whose inspec
tion and weight certificates have been
good everywhere. He will thoroughly re
oiganize the inspection and weighing de
partment and rut It on a basis which will
make our inspection and weight certifi
cates above suspicion in any market of
the world. It is one of the really import
ant steps since the organization of the ex
change." Though the officers of the exchange are
unwilling to admit It, there has been con
siderable complaint in other markets of
