Douglas Street Entrance COAL PILES MOUNTAIN HIGH Union Pacific Prepares for Possible Fuel Famine. HALF A MILLION TONS STOKED General Manager Mahler Sara HI Line Will Be Kept Running- Dar in the Winter In Spite of Shortage. "The Union Faclflo now has 212.000 tons of coal stored, most of which came from the mines of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Colorado, and only part of the Wyoming division Is supplied by our mines," said General Manager Mohler of the Union Pa cific Friday morning. That the Union Pacific Is following out the Idea conveyed by General Superin tendent Park In an Interview In The Bee some weoks ago Is evidenced by the large supply of coal which that road Is storing. A large force of workmen has been put to work In the Cheyenne yards, handling storage coal, and within the next few weeks no less than 60,000 tons of coal will be stored at that point. There Is now at the Cheyenne yards 20,000 tons' and 40.000 additional Is expected from Hanna and Trinidad, Colo. Over 276 cars of Illi nois coal have already arrived at North Platte, and there are 200 yet to come. It Is estimated that not less than 600,000 tons will be stored along the Union Pacific be fore fall, so that when the oriels comes this winter, as railroad men assert it Is sure to come, the company will be In a position to keep Its trains moving without making extraordinary demands on the mines. West Wants Coal. "The tremendous demand for coal by the country west of tfreen River, dependent upon th Union Paclno mines for Its sup ply, makes the movement of coal to points east of Green River, to any large extent, absolutely Impossible," added Mr. Mohler. Therefore, we have been urging that Ne braska dealers obtain coal from eastern mines, the same as we do, to Insure their supply. "We are granting a number of requests to outsiders for tracks to ' coal mines In Wyoming and Colorado, but such work Is low, and represents a large amount of money and time before its effects will be felt Money In this respect has heretofore 1 been spent In Wyoming, and the lands 4 found coalless and the projects abandoned. Naturally there are always some gentle ' men who think they could satisfy all in terests, both state and Interstate, and we would be glad to have suggestions, as the outlook to us at present is most serious. The questions Involved will be prospective strikes aud a great scarcity of coal miners, which will make a decline In the coal supply, as the mines have not for a number of months, and will not now, be worked to full capacity. The country has been raked for more men, with hardly any noticeable success." FAIRBANKS-MORSE WILL BUILD Another Bid Warehouse Deetded On for the New Omaha Jos bins; District. AH doubt as to the erection of a large home by Fairbanks, Morse & Co., has been dispelled by the announcement of Fisher & Lawrle, that they have been Instructed from the company's home office at Chicago to proceed with the plans. Mr. Lawrle returned from Chicago this week with in structions to get out the plans and invite bids with all possible dispatch. The building will be six stories In height, stxty-slx feet in width by 132 feet In length, and will cost approximately $70,000, says Mr. Lawrle. It will be at the north west corner of Ninth and Harney, with Union Pacific trackage on the east and Burlington trackage on the north. It will be built of vitrified paving brick of dark blue color; the tone of the brick and plain ness of detail being calculated to lend dis tinction among the other large structures of the neighborhood. A peculiarity will be in the floor, which for strength will be made of planks laid on edge and spiked agalnBt each other, the whole covered with maple flooring, laid in the ordinary way. Plans will be completed as rapidly as possible and it is expected to ask for bids within a few weeks. The company needs tho building very much, as at present Its building on Farnam street Is full and it has goods stored in several small ware houses about the city. HARD STONE IS COMING UP Contractors for Macadam Aerreo to Furnish No More Poor Material to tho County. As & Qtyult of their trip to the Nehawka quarries Thursday the members of the county board have secured a promise that no more soft stone will be sent to Omaha for use on the county roads that are being macadamized. The commissioners were well pleased with the quality of rock in general at the quarries, but found some ledges in which the material la of a poor grade. It was from these that the un satisfactory rock which caused the Inveal gatloh was taken. The proprietors of the quarry assured them it was entirely acci dental that the poor grade material was sent to Omaha and promised to see that only the beat grade was hereafter quarried for the road contractors. The party consisted of the members of the board. County Engineer Beat, Contrac tors Craig and Van Court and the proprie tors of the quarries. -L . - - r - tm Eat for contentment. Eat for good nature.

Maguey Says That Section of Law is Not Changed. PRIMARY ELECTION'S NEW PHASE Deputy County Attorney Reverses nim.elf, but Deputy County Clerk Says Secretary of State Decides. Deputy County Attorney Magney has re versed his opinion given several weeks ago In relation to the ballot, and now is of the belief that the rotated ballot will have to be used In Douglas county at this fall's primary. In his first opinion he held the section. of the law requiring the use Ot the rotation ballot in Douglas county had been repealed by the new primary law, but sub sequent investigation has oonvlnced him that it was not affected by the new enact ment "When I gave my opinion to County Auditor Smith," says Mr. Magney now, "I had referred to copies of the law pub lished In the newspapers. From these I was of the opinion that Section 6811 of Cob- bey's Annotated Statutes was repealed In Its entlrty. The rotation ballot is provided for Is subsection 1 of section 6811. Since examining the pamphlet copy of the law I find that only subsections a to h of seotlon 6811 were repealed by the new law, leaving subsection 1 Intact and In full force. Hence I am now of the opinion the rotation ballot will have to be used In this county this fall." Dewey Has Another View. Deputy County Clerk Dewey discussing the use of the rotated ballot declared the question was up to the secretary of state. "The secretary of state prepares an of ficial ballot for us, and we will use what ever he prepares for us. This office has nothing to say about that, as the duty of making the form Is placed on the stato officer. We are not worrying much about it in this office," A new point that may complicate the situation has been pointed out. The general election law provides ballots for state of ficers shall be uniform throughout the state. If Douglas county has a rotated ballot for district judge, it is argued, and Washing ton county has not, will it not be a viola, tlon of the law requiring uniformity, both counties being in the same district? Deputy County Clerk Dewey baa raised this ques tion and Mr. Magney admitted it might be serious one. He declined to express any opinion on It, however, until he had looked It up.
