Nothing Is better Indication of the faith
of local bin-lnes men In Omaha's futur
than the constant Investment in trackage
protierty for the lait year or two. Thi
movement In this direction has beeu es
pecially lively this fall, several pieces liav
log changed hands In ttrt district west of
1 ho railroad stations, und n number having
been told along the Itelt Line. Most of
these purchases having been made fur Im
mediate use ol coal and lumber companies
and factories, lint some have been made
purely as Investments.
A recent deal of fiie Willow Springs
Brewing x-oinpany combines these two
features. The company has bought a piece
of trackage properly large enough to Vrt'
vide for tlx! Brow Ih of the brewery for
many yearn, ami it the same time to pio
vldu i 1 1 n for one or two other factories
or warehouses. The tract is 4U feet In
length und two lots wide at the. end. A
T5,ora brew house will be 1uilt In the
spring on the company's land Just south
of the new acquisition.
George Barker Is another believer In ths
future of Omaha's Jobbing and manu
facturing Industries,. lie has paid Patrick
J. Clarvey $7,u00 for a trackage lot at the
northwest corner of Eighth and Pacific
Streets, having already possession of the
lot Immediately west. Mr. Harker will
build on tho lots In the spring If the de
mand for warehouse room warrunts It.
Some incentive to hustle was given the
real estate men of Omuha by the recent
firs in Council liluffs, which burned tip
. tho four-story building of the fnlon Trans
fer company, together with its stock and
that of three concerns for which it acted
os transfer agent. As the Council Bluffs
Implement row hus been gradually trans
ferred to Omuha for a number of years,
and as the general tendency of the Im
plement Jobbers seems to be In favor of
this side of the river, there Is every rea
son to hope that the Ciilon Transfer
company call be induced to come to the
Gato City. any rate, the real estate
men think soj and they are furnishing the
manager of the Jobbing company with lists
of property which may bo considered avail
able. They aro also bestirring themselves
to get offers of capital to build for the
Implement company, nnd one Omaha capi
talist has offered to erect a building.
Of course there Is a possibility that the
business men of Council lllufTs will offer
Inducements to the company to remain
In that city, as - they are conslderably
elarmed at the possibility of the loss of a
Jobbing firm.
Another bit of interesting news te the
realty men was the announcement that
the Rock Island Plow company Is con
templating the erection or a building.
After the publication of the fact, muny
dealers who did not know of It before
' went to tho Hock Island office to tell what
they had to offer. They have beta referred
to W. L Dogurduu, general manager of
tha company at Rock Inland, 111., for J.
8. Sherdemau, manager of the Omaha
bouse, says no ground has actually been
bought, though negotiations are under way
for a lot. Some of the fealty dealers
think the company at least has options
on property, aa they liave the information
that plans for the Ftracutre are being
drawn in a local architect's office.
The decision of the Rock Island company
to build is but one of the many recently
displayed evidences of the development of
Omaha's Implement Jobbing business. Par
lin. Orendorff & Martin Co. hus erected
a large building, tho Battley Co. is about
to add throe stories and tho John Deere
Plow company has announced its inten
tions of nelllng its old home and building
a new and larger one. In order not to
loso an opportunity to sell real estate,
the agents have to keep a clnse watch
on the city's Jobbing linns.
The demand for Florence property was
shown last week, when bidding became
active at a forced sale of come twenty lotr.
and several men vied with each other until
tho prico was run up to double what was
asked for the lots In the vicinity six
months ago. Considerable building is being
done at Florence and the owners who have
been accumulating property there for the
last few years are beginning to sell for
building sites. Hoverul good sales were
recorded last week ut advanced prices,
which tends tx show people are looking
to this ancient settlement as one of th
coming suburban residence districts around
Omaha. Florence has some of the slght
llest hills which can be found In eastern
Nebraska, hills suitable for building pur
poses.' from which a good view of the
winding Missouri may bo had for miles. In
both directions. The canning factory gives
employment to a considerable number of
people, ' and other Industries have baea
looking over the ground for a location.
Samuel Burns, one of the pioneer busi
ness men of Omaha, has sold his building
aud lot at 131 Farnam street to W. A.
Ateaea of New York City, for $26,000. The
building is three stories In height and Is
Cxia feet. It was formerly ocotipled by
Afr. Burne with a stock of crockery and
queeusware, but is now the home of. the
Omaha Clothing ooinpany,
Metg Bros, have bought the beautiful
wooded tract on West Center street, known
aa Kuser's park, securing- It from Colonel
X. C. Gallup, who bought it about three
years ago from Mrs. Ruser. Fred Mats
said last Week, that he and his brothers
had bought the park lurgely aa an In
Testment aa they did uot Intend to fix It
up much during the coming summer. They
will hold It until the growth of Omaha de
mands another park , on a large scale
similar to Krug park. Since the forming
of the Elmwood club this property has
taken an additional value, because there
la every prospect of the street railway
company running Its lines there this sum
mer, and whether the car line Is run out
Center street or Leavenworth, It will be
close to the park.
Farnam street seems to be coming to
the front as a street of flats and pert
inent bouses. Kdwln O. Rood has bought
two lots at the northwest corner of Thirty
eighth and Farnam, where he wilt build
an up-to-date apartment house; C. H. Fos
ter naa naa plans drawn fur a row of
nats at the northwest corner of Fortieth
aj'.u rnam, ana now w. A. Paxton U
considering the erection of an eight-story
apartment house, the finest In the city. In
ius pasture at the northwest corner of
Twonty-iuth avenue and Farnam.
Bo great has been the demand for build
ing material In Omaha that most cf tha
firms which handle thla Hue have been
forced to expand. Among these Is Gus
Kpeneter, the Omaha cornice maker, who
has found his present quarters entirely
too limited. Ist week Mr. Fpeiieter,
through W, Farcnoi Smith, secured lot

larso list to be erected in Omaha in the
near future. It was decided at the meet
lug Thursday night to erect a structure

accommodate all tho societies. Among the
prominent Gorman societies participating
lu this niovt uient are: Son? of Herman,
Maonnercl.or, Orpheus, I'laUsdeutschei'
Veroln, Turn Vereln of Omaha and the
South 'Side Turn Vereln, Luridwehr Voruin

.
Willlum C. Norrls has bought a lot on
Twenty-sixth avenue, Just north of St.
Mary's avenue, ajid will build a row of
flats on it.
Fred L. Smith has bought a lot on tho
north tide of Cuming street, just east of
Thirty-eighth, on which he will build a
M.COU residence.
Max (JelBlGf has bought from Georgo
Shepherd of livington the three-story brick
building directly opposite the police station,
paying H.G'Ai. He will occupy it with a
stock of birds.
All these sule were made through the
D. V. Sholes company.
Two more additions have been made to
the new colony of residents In tho vicinity
of the Field club. ('. Y. Ken worthy has
bought a lot at tho northeast corner of
Thlrty-iiftli and Woolworth avenues, on
which ho will build a home. The two lots
Immediately west of Mr. lanworthy'd have
been sold to Clarence W. .erwin, who will
build two $.1.5C) houses this winter, one for
himself and one for rent.

which hus leased the old fair grounds tract
on West Lieaven worth street and on which
John D. Creightou has signified his Inten
tion of building a tiub house and prob
ably some lartre stables In connection with
the raco track, has given a new impetus
to property In the west end and many new
homes have been announced In that neigh
borhood. Among those who have Biguflled
their Intention of building lu the nelKh
borhood of Elmwood park are: K. M.
Gibson, K O. Perley, S. J. Nolan und C.

WILEY COMES FOR MACHINES
Bays Tunneling? Works to Develop
Irrlicotlou Facilities tn Big;
Horn Conntry.
Solon L. Wiley, formerly of Omaha, but
now a citizen of the Rig Horn country in
Wyoming, was in Omuha Saturday, enroute
to the east to purchase some tunneling
machinery for the construction of th
Oregon" Basin Irrigation company's work
lu the Big Horn, of which Mr. Wiley is
president and general manager.
This scheme of Mr. Wiley's Is the most
extenalve of any private Irrigation work
In the United Status and equals most of
the large government schemes In Its scope.
The Oregon Basin scheme comprehends
putting water on ""0,000 acres of land In
the Big Horn basin, the water supply
oooiing In tlie main from the south fork
of the Shoshone river, twenty-five miles
west of Cody. . .
The first section and most Important Mo
tion of the main ditch measures twenty
eight miles from the hoad gate to the
Oregon Basin and will be completed In
July, 1WT. The basin Is a most wonder
ful natural rwervoir, being a natural for
mation absolutely water tight, which will
nut require the expenditure of over $1,000
to put In shape. The basin la ten miles
long by four miles wide and Is filled with
the flood water tn the winter and from
water rights on the Shoshone in summer.
The land to be watered from tills reservoir
extends ffrom the Shoshone to the Big
Horn river.
Mr. Wiley expressed considerable regret
at the action of the railroads In cutting
off transportation from the land agents
and sall the withdrawal of the help of the
railroads at this time would tend to retard
the settlement of the eastern slope of the
Rocky mountains at least ten years.

APPEAL OF LIVE STOCK MN
South Omaha Exchange lemaids Belief
from teveie Shortage.
ASKS THAT ROADS BE F0RCID TO ACT
Resolution Adopted AppcalinK to
Congress or Interstate Com
merce Commission to Take
. F.ffectlve Action at Once.
The South Omaha JUve Stock exchange
demands that congress or tho Interstate
Commerce commission take Borne action
that will effectively prevent car shortages
such as exist at present to the great in
Jury of the live slock interests. Tho ex
change in a resolution adopted at u meet
ing Friday declares the present shortage of
stock cars is the worst that has ever
existed and Insists on some, remedial meas
ures by the powers vested with authority
over such matters.
The exchange proceeds on the theory, not
that tllo rallroadB are in a helpless di
lemma, but that could and should relieve
the conditions that are so Injurious to
these Interests. It demands tint "action
should be taken to compel the ra.lroud com
panies to handle live stock tratllu on a
schedule of time."
This Is the resolution adopted:
Whereas, It is a notorious fact, and ad
mitted by many railroad representatives,
that the shorluge of stock cars, together
with the train service on nearly all linos
handling live stock, has been about the
worst and poorest oil record during tills
year, thus causing producers and shipper
of rive stock much unnecessary loss, and,
Whereas. Th.' Soutii Omaha hivo Stock
exchange, having tho best interests of the
producer and Bhtpper of live stock In mind,
and believing that many or most of these
troubles can and should be remedied or
removed, desires to take some action along
these lines; therefore, be It
Resolved. That the laws governing
transportation be so amended to Rive to
tho Interstate Commerce commission, or
such other tribunal as congress may elect,
the power to advise, regulate and enforce
laws or orders that will remedy the abuse
known as car shortages and Inefficient
railroad service on all interstate business.
Resolved. That It Is the sense of this ex
Mbange that some action be taken by con
gress or the Interstate ComnierCM commis
sion, or both, which will have for Its ob
ject the segregation of tho live stock traflic
from every other, wherever possible. In the
operation of the trains carrying live stock
in .smir a manner as will oiM-rate all live
stock trains second only in class und rights
to passenger trains, as was done with vrr.t
Buccess by a. number of roads some years
ago. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That some action should be
taken to compel the railroad companies to
handle live stock traffic on a "chert ule of
time. Including stops, that will admit of
live stock belntf transported and delivered
to market centers within a reasonable time,
and that the so-called tominirc. system be
cbaneed or discontinued and such other
changes made that will secure tho proper
service for which present tariffs are
iurgea.

ASKED FOR CHANCE TO BRING HIS THUGS
Assured Loral Leader Nonunion Team
sters Could Be Slugned wltb
Perfect Imyunlty to
the Lnlon Men.
Albert Young, appearing as state s wit
ness against Cornelius P. Shea, Interna
tional president of union teamsters, before
Judge Ball at ChicaKO, wus In Omaha dur
piir October last year nnd wanted to re
plenish the iluikn of the local Teamsters
union by dark-lantern methods. Such Is
tho substance of a positive statement mado
by Hen Keejran. president uJ Omaha local
union No. 71. union teamsters.
Mr. Keegan was at first slow to be drawn
into a matter which would place mm "
rn. ..r.i in this connection, realizing its far-
reaching consequences, but when a reporter
for The Bee cailod on him anil pm cae
mutter squarely up to him Mr. Koenan then
as willing to make a statement which be
,em which nr.
H he did not j
u' m would stand by. bu
it fn ho out that he was taking the
Initiative in digying up Albert Young's rec
ord In Omaha in October, !'.'
Young' Was Frank About It.
"Al Youmr dropped Into Omaha In Oc
tober. lOorI thir.k it wiu October 'J-ai!d
looked me up," declared Mr. Keegun. who
added:
"Young mado no bones In unfolding Ms
plans to me. He was at the time national
organizer for tho union teamsters, ihe
local Teamsters' union was not very strong
at that time nnd Young evidently thought
It n good opportunity to recruit from the
ranks of the unorganized and make n nnd
shnwinff for himself. Young told nio he
had n gang of twenty men at Chicago at
tho time and could cnslly set some of
them on tlie ground and go to work here.
Ho wanted my confidence and wanted me
to point the lenders to him. F-ach bam
usnallv has a leader among the teamsters.
"Young's plan was In short to iay out'
some of the leading unonjaniied teamsters
at the different barns and thus disorganize
the unorganized. He declared his slusrer
could drop In her:, do the work and drop
nut a pain without danger of identification.
Ho told mo that Shea, international presi
dent., favored getting the teamsters lined
up through moral persuasion, while, he
(Young) wanted to put a few In the hospi
tal for a week or so.
Krrnan Pparns the Deal.
"I brought my foot down right then and
there and told Young If he attempted any
such dastardly work In Omaha I would
turn him over to the police so fast it would
make his head swim. The result wot
Young made an appointment to meet me
a few days hence. I immediately eat down
nd wrote President Shea of Young's pro
mised campaign in Omaha.
"When the time for the appointment
with Youiuj arrived Young did not show ui
and I did not see blm after that time. 1
presumed he left the city. I received no
reply from my letter to Shea. Of course,
whether Shea wired Young to draw away
Is only a persumptlon."
At the time of strike of the rarment
workers In the Montgomery Ward 4 Co.'e
establishment last summer at Chicago
Young was president of the Chicago team
sters' union. Shea and Young were candi
dates for the international presidency of
the union and Young Was defeated. Then
Young seceded from the parent body and
tried to form an organisation of his own.
8hea, Young, Joseph Schults nnd three
others were Indicted for alleged conspiracy,
that of drawing off the Montgomery Ward
teamsters to help tho garment workers in
their strike. Other ugly features were In
corporated In the charges, the result being
Young aud Schultz turned state's wit
nesses against Shea.
"Young Is now charging Shea with doing
the very thing that he (Young) wanted to
do in Omaha a year ago," Ben Keegan
said Friday evening.

among the primary grain markets In pednt
of oats shipments for one month. Only
Chicago sent out more oats than Omaha In
October, according to tho October report
of the government Department of Com
merce nnd Ijibor, Just received nt the olflu
of the Grain exchange.
The market was fourth In point of oats
receipts for October. For the ten months
ending October 31 it stood fifth In oats ie
celpts, as against tenth last year. Ship
ments for ten months gave Omaha tixth
place, where It had seventh Inst year.
Grain men say Omaha will hardly ch e
the year as second In corn receipts, be
cause of the late movement of corn in No
braska. The movement In Kansas and Mis
souri was good In November, giving tU.
Loj!s a lead of several million bushels over
Omaha. Kansas City Is several million
bushels behind. Chicago is first as a coia
market, St. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City
always fighting for second place.
