GOES IN EFFECT NOVEMBER 1 I icrrMf Rat from rctc Coast to MlMlMjppI Blver Oan-Foarth an Maaafartarrra Frar Baatnraa Will B Halard. . 4. The blow has fallen. The railroads have ftn-mally announced th expected Increase lit lumber rales. Tocal lumbermen hava received news Nom WuhlnMnn that tha transcontinental freight bureau baa notified tha Interstate Oominrree commission of a new tariff schedule which will Increase the rates on shipments of lumber from the Pacific eoaat to the Mississippi valley. It will to Into' effect November 1. Th nrM.nl rata frnm tha Pacific coaat r - - to Chloaso Is 40 cents per 100 pounds and the railroads will increase th rate to 60 cents. Just what the Increase In the rate to Omaha will be the dealers have not learned as yet, but they expect to hear In a" lew' days. 'An advance of 10 cents per 100 pounds means W per 1.000 feet and consumers will hae to pay It If they set Pacific coast lumber. That they will not take It at the advance, but will buy southern lumber In stead. Is the fear that Is driving- the west ern lumbermen to distraction. The lumber manufacturers say tha Increase In rates Will take away every cent of pront In their business, aa the coat of production ls'll W per 1,000, feet more than It waa two years ao, and In the last year no manu facturer has had a profit of more than It SO per 1.000 feet and few more than 1 TUry declare that unless th rates on lum ber from the south also are raised TO per cent of them, the majority 'of those who ship by rail, will be forced out of busi ness. A local dealer says the manufacturers of Washington have raised a fund of $260,000 to fight the advance and will engage the ablest lawers In the country. Several weeks ago their organization requested the Interstate Commission to Inform them of the filing of Increased lumber rates, so they could make formal protest with the commission. Some of the most radical anti-railroad enthusiasts see In the advance of rates a move on the part of the Hill and Hariiman to drive the manufacturers out of business and then secure for themselves the control of the mills and lumber lands.

Th two fans were eating their lunch In a local restaurant. Of course, base ball was the topic of conversation. Finally after an interval of silence one spoke. "Know what I'd like to seef" WhatT" asked the other. "I'd Ilka to see Lincoln win enough and Omaha lose enough to make 'em just about even, and then have the last game here In Omaha on a Sunday." "Bay, that'd be goin' some, all right, all right." said the other. "Then I'd like to see the score a tie In the ninth Inning, with Omaha to bat." "Oee. I'd die." "And two of our men out." 'Oh, stop stop." "And two strikes called on th batter our batter." "Oh-h-h." "And then see our batter lam the ball clear out over the fence on the next strike and make a home run." v The two gased at each other for a while lost In contemplation of such an ecstatic moment of excitement. "Say, waiter, you. needn't bring me the rest of my order." said the one who had done the listening. "I ain't got no more appetite." And they went out.

He was disposed to quibble about some details of the transaction and Mr. Btlefel put an end to negotiations, soon afterwards deciding not to sell at all.

COUNTY ACCEPTS COAL BIDS Lets Contracts at Increased Price of Second Competition. SOLOMON'S PLAN TURNED DOWN Board Refused to Reject Resalar Bids for Lower Proposal on Two Items by Tom Collins Havens. Be want ads ar business booster. The county board at the meeting Saturday submitted to the Increased bids of the coal dealers and let contracts for the furnish ing of coal te the county to the lowest bidders In th second competition. Mr. Solomon came In with a proposition from the Tom Collins Havens company offering to cut the price on the two principal items in the specification, but the board rejected his proposal and accepted the bids. The bids accepted were the second set received by the board. When the second series of bids were opened It was found the price had been boosted from 10 to 20 per cent. These were the bids accepted Saturday. Mr. Solomon reported he had secured a proposition from Tom Collins Havens to furnish the court house and Jail with Cherokee steam coal for t2.fi a ton, which Is cents less than the lowest bid, and the county hospital with the same coal In car lots for (2.35. a cut of t cents a ton under the low bidder. Solomon favored re jecting the bids on these two Items and giving the contract to Mr. Havens, but the other four members of the board favored accepting the bids that were offered, de claring if they rejected the bids the coal dealers might get angry and withdraw their bids on other Items and refuse to fur nish the county coal except at higher prices. The bids were let as follows: Court house and Jul). Victor White Coal company, Cherokee steam $2.94. County hospital, Cherokee steam, Ne braska Fuel company, (2.40. Indigent poor. South Omaha, A. L. Berg qulst, (410 In ton, 12-50 In half ton and (1.(5 In quarter ton Iota; Omaha, Victor White Coal company, $4. SO In ton, (2.55 In half ton and (1.38 in quarter ton lots. Detention school, hard coal. Victor White Coal company, (10.26; Sheridan luinp,(T.M Flak Submits a Report. County Treasurer Fink submitted a re port of the collection of taxes fromhe tsx list of the year 1904. The total levy for the year was (750.C01.lt. The county treasurer has collected on this levy, with the Interest and penaltlea, (;M,271.M, or considerably more than the principal. Sep tember 12 there was uncollected of the principal (12.475.47, or only I K per cent of the principal. Of the uncollected amount (4.74.73 Is personal and (7.630.& realty. Owing to the large number of persons owing these uncollected taxes, Mr. Fink is of the opinion it would be unprofitable to go to any grea. expense to collect It.. The claim of William Powers, a farmer living In the western part of the county, for (600 for damages due to the ravages of the Elkhorn river, owing to a small cutoff ditch, was rejected. The board held that Powers had assisted In digging tho ditch without authority from the county and the county was not responsible for the dam age. Powers will probably appeal to the district court. The bid for resetting the boilers at the court house was let to Robert Houghton for (750. County Treasurer Fink was allowed not to exceed five extra clerks to get up a list of the delinquent taxes since the or ganization of the county to the present time. The salary of the clerks was limited to (80 a month. NALLY SAYS STRIKE IS OVER General Manager of the Foetal Makes Thl Announcement to Local Manager. E. F. Williams, local manager of the Postal, Is In receipt of a letter from the general manager of the company, B. J. Nolly, who announces the strike of the telegraph operators Is over and denies re curring reports that negotiations are ' in progress looking to a compromise settle ment. His letter is: The statements which are being made by strike leaders that there are negotiations E ending or Influences at work or preiistire eing brought to bear on th telegraph companies to bring about a settlement of the strike through compromise or other wise are untrue and their recurrence from day to day In one shape or another is simply for the purpose of misleading the men and buoying them up with false hopes which are never to be realized. We con sider the strike Is over; hence what It the need for further negotiations? I only repeat what I have reiterated before, that we will deal with audi of our old men who Individually apply for work so Ions aa we have places for them, and as we are adding to our force by th employ ment of outsiders every day, the limner oir former employes delay putting In their applications the less show thev will have of aettln r-aev their old positions. I sny this sorrowfully, too, becaufle there are many of the old men whom we highly prized, but we cannot. With Justice to the men who have stood by us, dlfcliarge any of them In order to make a place for a striker.

With the departure of thee detachments from Fort Washakie, the old fort has completely passed out of existence. The fort proper was abandoned about a year ago with the departure of the Tenth cavalry, but a temporary ramp was maintained there until all th govern ment property could he removed or dis posed of, whleh Is rw accomplished. Fort Washakie was established in U.T, iu the heart of what was then the Shoshqna Indian country. It was one of the most remote posts from railway facilities of any In the country, being eighty miles from Wolt'on, Wyo., on the Wyoming and North western railway. Prior to the establish ment of the post, Camp Washakie had been for many years a military cantonment and waa the headquarters as base of sup plies for inuny important expeditions against the Indian's In the late '60s, and all through the 70s.
