hen the extension will be made la not
known. Tha company has planned It ror
a long time, according to the statement
of lt officials, and so Inevitable Is the Im-
provemont that the company would not
allow the John Deere Plow company to
hold possession of the lots after It had
bought them aa a site for Its proposed
eight-story warehouse. To be sure the rail
road could not prevent the Implement com
pany from building there, but It could re
fuse trackage.
The Missouri Pacific Is said to be block
ing the extension project. The Union Pa- I
title and the other roads Interested in the I
station realize the need for enlargement
and advocate It, but the Missouri Pacific
seems content to leave depot facilities In
their present congested condition.
Opinions differ among the county com
missioners as to how great a tax the build
ing of a new $1,000,000 court house would
Impose upon the voters of the county. M.
J. Kennard has It figured out that the In
terest can ba cared for and half tha bonds

missioner Solomon thinks It would be less
than that.
J. P. Breen told the commissioner he

of a $1,000 home tha price of not more than
four beers annually.

"The festival was a greater success in

Q. W. Wattles, president of the board of
governor of the Knlghta of Ak-Sar-Ben.
"The electrical pageant of Wednesday night
was far tha best that has been seen in
Omaha arid It was more universally appre
ciated from the tact that historical and al
legorical themes, which' are not always un

Apropos of the talk of unsightly signs In
Omaha, here Is something from New York
City:
Makers of large and unsightly signs which
disfigure so many of the buildings were
represented by their counsel, who bruehed
aside all aesthetic consiilerstions as un
worthy of argument and devoted himself
to the question of safety entirely.
It Is urged by public-spirited citizens that
the ordinance, which was offered as a re
sult of a crusade lately made against sky
signs, should be adopted because the signs
are not only unsightly, but on account of
their size dangerous.
The billboard men's lawyer contended
that the city had no right to specify that
any structure on a roof should be regu
lated as to Its height merely because It
wan used for advertising purposes. He said
the only point to be considered waa whether
It waa safe. He also defended the covering

Properly along the new street car line
extension to tha entrance of Rlvervlew,
park Is already beginning to feel the et-,
feels of contemplated Improvement and
shows the fact in an advance of prices.
Realty men ssy lots along the Una are 10
to 20 per cent higher than a few month
ago and the Indications are they will bring
better prices yet. When tha car line was
built down Twenty-fourth street to South
Omaha, the results were similar In tha
Twenty-fourth atreet district. The effect,
however, will be more pronounced near
Rlvervlew park, as property in the neigh
borhood Is not so well developed as In tha
other case. A stretch of property large
enough to support many home I affected.

"We do not kn6w whether there will be
any left or not, but we feel sure there will
be enough to clean up all debts. It makes
a good showing for the season, for this
year w paid off tha $2,000 mortgage on the
den. It looked a little dark for the royal
treasury when the rainy days ''kept the
people away from the carnival, but when
the weather was good they came In In
creased numbers and the total attendance
waa about the same a a year ago."
Where Is the merchant who will say he

Big Store la Jammed.
"This store waa jammed aa It never waa,"
aid Ernll Brandels of J. L. Brandels ft
Sons, ' "and If the weather had been good
continuously the people couldn't have
crowded in. It waa our largess' Ak-Sar-Ben
business.' I believe, on account of the ab
rogation of passes, that not so many peo
ple were here from a long distance, but
those who live within a radius of less than
100 mile were present In greater numbers."
"We wore very much pleased with the
trade," said Hayden Bros. "Our store was
full and people seemed to buy larger bill
and higher priced good than ever before."
"Very satisfactory, Indeed," was what
Robert Cowell of Kilpatrlck ft Co. aald
when asked about It.
Thompson, Belden ft Co. had, a large
trade and were generally pleased with the
result of the festival.
"If all the daya had been bright we
couldn't have cared for the crowds." aald
J. E. Baum of the Bennett comparly. "In
spite of the rain we did more business than
laat year.
"The fact that the people came by thou
sands despite threatening skies suggests to
me that we ought to make special prep
aration to house the visitors next year,
for the success of the recent festivities
Insures an unheard of crowd next fall. A
plan ought to be adopted of taking the
visitor into the homes of the local

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. Chargea of dis
crimination and conspiracy are made In a
petition filed with the Interstate Commerce
commission today by the Fairmont Cream
ery company and several other creamery
companlea against a large number of north
western and western railroad companies,
and the United States, Adams, American
and Wells-Fargo express companies.
The complainants secured an Injunction
from the federal court at Chicago restrain
ing the railroads fnbm putting the In
creased rates Into effect until the matter
is passed on by the Interstate Commerco
commission. The petitioners have an ag
gregate capital of $0,000,000. They produce
annually 60,009,000 pounds of butter of an
aggregate value of $14,000,000, Jhe net profit
on which Is asxerted to be less than one
half a cent a pound. The complainants
allege that under the present rates for the
transportation of cream they pay the de
fendant lines more than JMJO.OOO a year In
freight and express charges.
It Is alleged further that the defendants
Jointly announced they would increase
thoir charges for the transportation of
cream after September 1, 1907, from an
overate one 1 cent a pound of the butter
produced to an average of 1 cents a
pound or from 30 centa per ten-gallon can
to 60 cents per ten-gallon can of cream.
It ia asserted that the increased rates 'will
cost the complainants more than $400,000
annually, that they are unjust, un
reasonable and discriminatory and will take
absolutely all the profits from the creamery
business. The charge la made that the
Illinois Central, the Hock Island, the Chi
cago Great Western, the Burlington and
the St. Paul are the most powerful of the
defendants and that in order to retaliate
against the complainants .they "conspired
to destroy and terminate competition
among all Interested defendants respect-
j Inc the transportation of rr-um, and also
j so to Increase the tariffs f f transporting
j cream and . disci iminatc against the com
) I'lalnants as to drive them out of business."
