CITY MAY REOPEN"" STREET
Coaacll Wlna In Rait with Orala Ta
mlaala Cacapaay Over'
Thirtieth.
Judge Redlck Wednesday morning de
cided In favor of the city In Ita controversy
with the Omaha Grain Terminals com
pany over the opening of South Thirtieth
atreet for the purpose of constructing a
viaduct to South Omaha. Judge Redlck
decided the' city council had a right to
order tha atreet opened and denied the
request of the Grain Terminals company
for an Injunction to prevent action on the
part of the council.
The controversy started last spring when
the council tried to pasa an ordinance de
claring the street open, Tha Oral a Ter
minals company contended that under as
ordinance of a former city - council the
atreet had ' been vacated and had passed
the Grain Terminals company to be used
for elevator purposes. It contended the
reopening of the street would be greatly
detrimental to Ha property rlghta under
the previous action of the council.
Tha trouble was transferred to the courts
when' the terminals company applied for
n Injunction... A restraining order waa
granted to prevent action until the caae
could bs decided. The action of Judge
Redlck enda the Injunction and leavea the
city council free to act.

S. MacMurray of the Wood River Gram
company of Nebraska haa complained to
the Interstate Commerce commission that
the Union Pacific fails to furnish him
cara at Wood River, but gives them to his
competitors, the Ilord Elevator company,
the Omaha Elevator company and the Con
rad Elevator company. He aaya that In a
given period last fall his three competitors
got sixty-eight cars while he' got only Ave,
where he needed twenty. He says he was
damaged to the extent of C.ftiO and he asks
reparation.
AU of which recalla a little bit of pre
vloua history.
Mr. alscMurray gave some spicy testi
mony before the Interstate Commerce com
mission In Omaha last fall against the big
elevstor companies and the railroads. That
was on October 25. The petition he has
Juat presented to the commission, refer
Ing specifically to November of 1906, ahow
that tha screws were Immediately put on
htm tighter than ever. Whether hla hard
ships of November were due to retaliation
from the 'Grain trust" for his evidence

Mr. UacMurray, In his testimony before
the commission last fall, exposed the
Omaha Rlevator company's method of
doing business. He said he waa once agent
for the Omaha Elevator company, run
ning a business under Ita own name at
Wood River. But he had rival. That
rival waa his own employer, running an

ney If there was any competition at Wood
River at that time, he answered:
"Well, the farmers thought there was."
He told how he started in business for
himself In 1904 and how he hud ex
perienced difficulty ever since In getting
cars. In Ave weeks he got not a car, while
his double-headed competitor go forty-five.
When the pride of grain declined he got
the cara. He begun buying attain and
waited three weeka for a car, while hla
competitor got thirty-one. There came an
other break in the market and he got
plenty of cars. Mr. MacMurray said he
could not get an elevator site from the
Union Pacific, Assistant General Freight
Agent Lane admitting that the big ele
vators "forced his hand."
Local grain men aay they have no trou

of the Union Pacific. "He wanta ua to

BOOM FEVER IS A DISEASE
No Danger of Realty Hen Causing
One, Saya Benson.
OMAHA FOUR TIMES AS GOOD NOW
Eaehaaa-e Holda Lively Meeting, at
Whlc' Real ftsttrte Dealers Tell
lutereatlaaT Facta of
Local Ceadltlona.
"It Is ridiculous to talk about any body
of real estate men making a boom. A
thousand men could go out and work for
six months and they couldn't start one. I
actually believe the boom fever Is a
disease; that It la caused by a germ that
floats through the air seeking whom It
may devour. I have studied the question
and studied it and I see no other way ot
accounting for a boom."
So said E. A. Benson at the meeting of
the Omaha Real Estate exchange Wednes
day. Judge A. C. Troup, the guest of the
exchange, had just addressed the realty
men and In the course ot hi talk had ail
vised them against creating fictitious val
ues, though he added that in his thirty
years of residence In Omaha he had never
aeen prices on suh a sound basis aa at
present. The Intimation that the exchange
members could create a high market
brought Mr. Benson to hla feet.
Then followed a lively discussion.
Thoughts In multltudea on the boom ques
tion surged to the minds of the members
and all wanted to talk at once. The time
waa too short for words from all of them
and some Intend to have ttiolr say later on.
Real Estate Is Divided,
"All that I brought out of the panic
of '1S waa real estate," cuntinued- Mr.
Benson. "I had cattle, and they went; I
had stock In thla manufacturing concern
and that one, and It went, but the real
estate waa mora substantial and I managed
tj Itang .to it. You may buy a gold brick
at.C you forget that; you may lose on rail
road stocks and you forget that; you may
drop your money in cattle a rut you im
-yTr
mediately proceed to forget that. But If
you lose two in real estate you remember
that to the last day of your life. Then
you shake your head and talk about theff
ooom.
"Our last panic swept everything; real
estate values were not especially aelected
for Its depredations. It didn't start In
Onmlia. it begun in Europe, swept across
to New York, got to Cleveland, Chicago,
Omaha and Sun Francisco, across, the Pa
cific and finally back Wo where It started.
"Realty la and always has been the beat
Investment In thla country. When you aell
a man a piece of ground you know that
even If a panic ahould Strike him hla money
will all come back to him If he hangs on.
He can hang on to. realty where, all the
other things would be taken away.'
Foar Times as Gaod Now.
George G. ' Wallace's opinion waa that
Omaha offers for half the money four
times the Inducements it offered twenty
years ago. . He declared hla faith In pres
ent conditions and hla belief that no de
pression would ever bring local residence
property lower than It Is now.
Colonel 8. 8. Curtis spoke for real estate.
He aatd he had lost money in other enter
prises, but had finally gone Into the realty
buslnesa and for thirty yeara had refused
to put money Into stock companies. Omaha
property la the best Investment he knows
at present, he said.
W. H. Ruseell left the subject a little to
mention Omaha'a need for houses rent
ing for $10 to IX a month. If he had fifty
houses to be rented for less than US he
could dlspoeu of them all In less than two
weeks, he said.
"Ths, Ethical Side of Real Estate" will
be the subject for next Wednesday's meet

The death of Mra. Sarnh Pratt a few daya
ago removed, from the county hospital
one of the most remarkable of the Inmatea.
Mrs. Pratt wus almost 93 years old and
had bfen in bed unable to move for the
last five years. Six years ago she waa taken
to the hospital suffering with St. Vitus'
dance. She lapsed Into a condition bor
dering on paralysis and became helpless.
In spite of her condition she was always of
H cheerful disposition and she endeared
herself to the attendanta at the hospital
and others who came In contact with her.
For a long time she had been unable to
speak plainly and this made her lot doubly
hard.
Mra. Pratt waa one of tha pioneers of
Omaha. She has a daughter In Chicago
who waa here to attend the funeral.
