' Three of the South Omaha packing eom- . panirs eritcied protests against their ns-sessm'nti- Tuesday. W. I- Felhy. repie 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.

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. secretary, Clyde Clay Clssell, D. T. ; cor responding hecretary, C. V. Ilelamatre; membership Hecretary, Dr. I, 8.
