Surveyor! are In the fleld for the new
line which' the Union Pacific la to build
from Topeka, Kan., to .Dennlson, Tex., to
jive Nebraaka a new outlet to the gulf
for Ha grain product.
' This new Una la aroualng great interest
railroad circle, as It will form a great
connecting link for the Harrlman ayitem.
Harrlmaa now owna the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific from Omaha to San Fraii
claco, haa line from Ban Francisco
aouth to southern California and Unea
from thera to New Orleana. The line

thla will be supplied by the work which !
practically now under way. A short line
ia being built from Omaha to Lincoln and
the line from Lincoln to Topeka short
ened, giving the Union Pacific a splendlJ
line from Omaha to Kansaa City runrflng
through the capitals of both Kansas and
Nebraaka. .
The new line will run from Topeka to
'Dennlson, Where It will connect with the
Houston A Texas Central railroad, which
runs from Qelveston to Houston to Den
nlson, and thus make a comolete chain
.round the loop for Mr, Harrlman and
give Omaha an outlet to the seaboard.
The Houston A Texas Central belongs to
the Southern Pacific and Is therefore a
Harrlman Una.
Ilarrtman and Fish.
Harrlman has been lighting for some
time with President Fish of the IlllnoH
Central for control of that line which
would give Harrlman a line from Omaha
to Chicago and then to the gulf. Instead
of the line to the gulf as the new propo- j

J fact that all differencee between Fish and
Harrlman have been aettled and there will
be no strife for the' control of the Illinois
Central at the coming election In October.
Fish has won out In the present fight
and claims to have the upper hand.
Had the Union Paclflo gained control of
the Illinois Central conditions In the west
would have been entirely upset, for Har
rlman would have been In a position to
have broke! his traffic agreements which
now exist between Omaha and Chicago,
and this would have forced the Milwaukee.
Burlington, Northwestern and Great West
ern to have Immediately worked out some
other outlet to the Pacific slope. As the
matter now stands the Union Pacific haa a
working agreement with the Milwaukee
and Northwestern on business between
Omaha and Chicago, and these roads In
turn give an Immense amount of business
to the Union Pacific.
Importance to Omaha.
The value of a direct outlet to the gulf
cannot be overestimated, especially If It
Is owned and controlled by n road whose
and more grain each year Is moving to
the gulf ports, tor the distance Is but 8no
similes and grain can be taken to naivcston
and then to Europe almost as cheap as It
can to New York and Poltlmore from
Omaha by rail. Omaha la thought to have
made a great mistake when the Kansas
City Southern proposition got away from
It, and now Mr. HarrlmaA is going to
rectify this by a line of his own. J. J.
Hill once said: "You can start a barrel
-ct flour, at Minneapolis, and It will .roll to.
-the gulf," and the same proposition applies
from Omaha to the gulf by the new line.
With the completion of the Panama
canal the southern ports of the United
States will Increase In Importance and Mr.
Harrlman wants to be on the ground floor
with a line Into the Interior of this country
to handle the stuff which will be unloaded
from the boats at the southern ports.
, Off net to Hill's Actloa.
This move on the part of Harrlman also
will offset the action of Hill In building
a line from Ashland to Sioux City by
. which to get the grain of Nebraska to
move by Duluth and from there on Hill's
ran to. get all kinds of business to move
north, at present hauling most of the cot
ton to the orient via hla Qreat Northern
line to Ma boats at 8eattle. Br the new
, line Harrlman will tap the cotton country
and get to haul some of this over the
Union Pacific to the Harrlman boats at
Ban Francisco.
The lino to Joplln also will open to the
Harrlman lines the fine mineral country
around Joplln, where some of the largest
sine and lead mines of the country are
located

Monday before the State Railroad and

WOIUN IK CLUB AM CHARITY.
There Is considerable Informal talk
among club women of asking the coming
annual convention of the Nebraaka Fed
eration of Women's clubs to Indorse a
pure food bill to be brought before the
next state legislature. The Nebraska law
pertaining to food adulterations deals only
with milk snd vinegar products and the
women feel that In view of the recent ac
tion of congress regarding food adulter
ation they may profitably ask for an ade
quate state law.
e
While rejoicing with Georgia In Its
child labor law, all those Interested In
the protection of children must regret
the decision of the New York court that
Its state law prohibiting women and chil
dren from working more than ten hours
a day or sixty hours a week Is unconsti
tutional. This decision Is based upon an
opinion that the law Is an "unwarranted
Invasion of constitutional rights" and is
"class legislation." It ia regrettable that
such regard for the Interests of women
and children cannot be securel along lines
that bring them actual protection.
The reception by the queen of Denmor
of the delegates to the International Wo
man Suffrage conference at Copenhagen
last week is In striking contrast to the
treatment women received less than forty
years ago when they gathered In the In
terest of their "rights." It is a signifi
cant fact thst wherever women gather
nowadays and whatever happens to be the
object of their coming together, they are
given a respectful hearing. It Is the over
coming of prejudice to this extent that
encourages women in their struggle for
equal political rights with men.
The Nebraska Woman Suffrage associ
ation has opened headquarters at the Ep
worth assembly at Lincoln and Is conduc
ing dally sessions. Mrs. Amanda J. Mar
ble, president of the oragnlzatlon, 1s tn
charge and a number of prominent speak
ers have assisted In the work of extension.
Mrs. Roosevelt has added her protest
to tha't of Queen Alexandra of England
against the use of the aigrette and will
lend her Influence to abolish a demanl
and a atyle than can be gratified only at
the expense of cruelest torture and death
of the bird from which this bit of plumage
Is obtained. Under date of July 18, Presi
dent Roosevelt wrote the following noto
to the president of the Audubon society:
Mv Dear Mr. Dirtcher: Permit me orr
behalf of both Mrs. Roosevelt and my
self to say how heartily we sympathise
not only with the work of the Audubon
Society generally, but particularly In their
effort to stop the sale and use of the so
called "aigrette," the plumes of the white
herons. If anything. Mrs. Roosevelt lecU
even more strongly than I do in this
matter.
Last March Queen Alexandra declared
herself in like manner against the use of
the aigrette, which she not only refusal
to wear herself, but urges other women
not to use. Now that women are coming
to know the awful cruelty that alone enn
secure this beautiful bit of finery for thf?.r
bonnets, there has been less demand for
It, snd milliners are protecting themselves
and appeasing others by offering for sale
what they call an artificial aigrette. The
Audubon society has Issued circular
stating that through investigation by that
society it Is learned that these things
are rarely or never artificial, but the real
plumage . of the bird, and women are
warned to beware. Tbese lntested In this
effort to protect the birds may best as
sist by Joining the Audubon society. Tho
dues are 15 a year and all used in the
actual work. . Miss Joy Hlgglns, 544 South

LOCAL MEN WAGE MORE BITTER FIGHT
Commercial Clan aad t.raln K.scbaage,
Representing Bnelneas Interests,
Lead la Boycott Agalaat
Thle Railroad.
Stirred by the announcement of the
road that It would not only maintain Its
discrimination against Omaha in favor of
Kansas City, but that it contemplated a
further cut in the minimum Kansas City
Memphis proportional on Nebraska grain,
the commercial interests of Omaha lia
taken steps to wage even more bitter war
than formerly against that railroad.
A joint meeting of the board of directors
of the Grain exchange and the executive
committee of the Commercial club, to
gether with the transportation commit
tees of the two bodies, waa held Tuesday
noon. After a report on the situation
from Commissioner Guild and Secretary
McVann, a resolution was passed In
structing these two officials to use every
effort to keep the public and the shlppeis
thoroughly informed .on every detail of
the situation as It is and aa it develops.
Mr. McVann was instructed to ha.-o
printed and distributed among the ship
pers copies of a colored map which he
haa prepared, naming the grain rates
both to Omaha and Kansaa City from
every town in the South Platte territory,
and showing plainly the discrimination
made by the Rock Island against the
former.
Statement of Conditions.
This statement waa submitted as a
Joint report by Messrs. McVann and Oulld.
In response to the suggestion Of Vice
President W. B. Riddle of the Rock Island,
Mr. McVann went to Chicago for a con
ference with Mr Blddle. at which confer
ence Freight Traffic Manager Gower of
the Rock Island line and J. A. Mlfldleton,
freight traffic manager of the Frisco lines,
were both present. This conference devel
oped that Mr. Ulddle was thoroughly com
mitted to the continuation of the Memphis
equalisation plan, and he not only refused
to withdraw It, but stated that, owing to
the difference In the situation produced by
the cutting out of the lW-cent elevation, it
mlpht he necessary to make a still furth-r
reduction In his minimum proportional
from Ksnsis City from 9 cents to l cents.
Mr. Riddle justifies his action by the old
specious argument about through rates
being equal by way of Kansas City and
by way of Omaha to Memphis, which
sounds so fair on the face of It that it
seems unreasonable to contend against It.
In order to make clear to the general
public the dlsingenuousness of Mr. Riddle's
position about through rates It Is neces.-ary
that the bsslc principle be understood upon
which nil of the rates to and from Omaha
are made. The railroads have made the
Missouri river an arbitrary line, Kansas
City to Omaha, Inclusive. The rates from
east of the river have been equalised as
nearly as pnsalMe and the rate from the
river to the west and from the west to
the river have also been equalized. In
carrying out this scheme of equalisation
Nebraska has always been considered as
being Omaha terrltorv and" Kansas as being
Kansas City territory. These conditions
are hard-and-fast conditions Imposed upon
Omsha by the railroads for manv vears.
They have been changed only Insofar as
Kansas City has been able to encroach
upon Omaha's share of the territory, grad.
ually, tir.tll now there Is a wide s'me In
southern Nebraska, nearer to Omsha than
to Kansas City on an average, wherein
the rates to and from Kansas Cltv on all
classes of business are as good or better
than to Omaha. This encroachment has
been made so gradually snd so quietly that
the extent of it hns never ben fully real
ised by Omaha. It was not until Mr. Rid
dle's scheme of equalization more than
doubled the territory In Nebraska Into
which Kansas Cltv was admitted upon
equal terms with Omaha that the danger
was brought home to the Omaha people
and that they felt It necesasry to take th
most strenuous measures to protect their
lerniory.
If Mr. Riddle's plan had been applied to
all the territory west of the Missouri river
by all the roads. Involving a readjustment
of all the Kansas and Nebraska rates, so
that In return for the surrender of our
territory to Kansas City Omaha would re
ceive a fair equivalent In territory that
before belonged exclusively to Kansas City,
we could have no obejetlop to the plan
. ur jnuiii m, nuwrvrr, inai no one nas pro
posed to give Omaha any entrance Into
Kansas t'lly territory upon any frms what
ever, and the upshot of the situation Is
that Kansas City retains her exclusive ad
vantages In till of Kansas and a large por
tion of southern Nebraska and obtains an
equal footing with Omaha in practically
the entire South Platte country to and In
cluding Plattsmouth, Loulivllle, Crete, Au
rora, etc.
All of this was shown clearly to Mr. Bid
die, hut he refused to acknowledge that
OmAha had any exclusive right to any ter
ritory In which It was possible to put Kan
sas City upon an equality with her, distance
and feasibility of routes being the only
thliiKs he would consider. The position
taken by Mr. Middle made it Impossible to
consider any peaceful measures. He wss
Informed that the business public of Omaha
waa an absolute unit In opposition to his
Invasion of Omaha's territory and he re
plied that, while he regretted that fact, he
believed his position waa right and would
not recede from It.
The lust analysis of the situation amounts
to this: That the 'Frisco lines are not sat
isfied with the amount of grain business
they are doing from Kansas City to Mem
phis and the southeast, and. that in order
to increaae that business, Mr. Blddle delib
erately cut the rate from Kansas City to
Memphis on Nebraska corn In ordr to In
fluence It to Kansas City so that the
'Frisco lines might be able to secure It
In fact, so thorough is this anxiety that
Mr. Blddle proposes to make a further re
duction In the minimum proportional of 9c,
Kansaa City to Memphis. In order to widen
the Nebraska territory from which the
'Frisco may steal business. The original
cut was S cents per hundred and the sub
sequent reduction of U4 cents In the Omaha
and Kansaa City rate tn Memphis reduced
this difference to l cents Mr. Blddle now
proposes to make a T cents minimum as
against the normal rate nf cents from
Omaha to Memphis, which practically
means the maintenance of a 4-cent differen
tial against Omaha Instead of 1 cent, Kan
saa City to Memphis.
