BOSTON SCARED OYER WOOL
Eastern Jobbers Are Uneasy at Move
ment for Omaha Market.
SEVERAL COMING WEST TO "SEE"
Blgaiarant Aaslety is Aaoareat S.'nre
Hews of Sheep Ra leers Deter
snlaatloa to Get Prteea
Reached Keaker Hill.
Trouble Is anticipated by tha Boston wool
buyers as a a result of the determination of
western growers to hold for price by
storing In Omaha. About the establishment
of the market In Omaha tha whole situa
tion will turn according to the growers.
To the New Tork Commercial the Boaton
correspondent sent the following dispatch:
Boston buyers will buy the choice clips
such as they have been handling year
after year. They knew where the market
can be found as certain mills look to them
to supply certain grades o( wool. A fair
price will be paid for such clips and the
growers are likely to com o terms as
the manufacturers will do very little or
no competitive bidding and the bulk of the
ordinary clips will be consigned unless the
growers care to hold on and pay the carry
ing costs.
But the 'growers of Wyonilng, western
Nebraska, Colorado and South Dakota do
Intend to hold on and pay the "carrying
costs." ' The carrying cost In the ware
house of Omaha will be about S cents per
hundred pounds per ponth or six-tenths of
1 cent per pound per annum.
This rat for carrying In . the Omaha
warehouse Is Insignificant with the price
which will be secured by the growers when
they sell to competitive buyers and are en
abled to sell at any time Instead of being
compelled to sell to the representatives of
the manufacturers at shearing season,
often on the ranges.
Just now representatives of Boston wool
houses are starting for the wool-growing
sections of the west and dispatches from
Boston say "in greater number than ever
before."
Boetoa Is I'aeasy.
That the Bostonlans are uneasy about
the situation Is shrwn from the following
dispatch which refers to the buying of the
wool In the coming shearing season by the
representative:
A great variety of opinions are held a
to the outcome of their negotiations. Re
ports as to the views of growers aie
varied. Those in Montana are said to be In
a reasonable frame of mind. In other sec
tions, particularly Utah and Wyoming,
more Or less of a determination to hold for
a price la reported. As moat of the early
Arizona wools were consigned to this mar
ket and have sold very well, this process
of disposing of the new clip may become
contagious. .
Nevada growers are said to be already
consigning new clip on advance of s to JO
centa a pound, and aome aales of Nevada
Wools are reported to San Francisco par
ties at 13 cents or thereabout. At that
figure It is said the wools could be landed
here at a scoured cost of M cents. Utah
and Wyoming growers are opposed to the
consignment method of marketing. Idaho
growers are said to be asking 16 to 18
cents for their clips, while Texas growers
are not Inclined to accent early offera for
their holdings. In the lied Bluff section,
growers are said to be asking 20 rents,
while the general sentiment in California is
that a reduction of prom 15 to 20 per cent
from last year's prices Is tall the producer
ought to be asked to H crept. Shearing is
now well along In all nuhrn California,
and In the Sacramento valley, and some of
the wool Is being consigned. In Oregon
shearing will not begin much before the
first of May.
TWO TREES FOR ARBOR DAY
Baaswoods Will Be Planted Wednes
day at Trata School, Sixth
sad Hickory.
Omaha school children 'will this year
plant but two tree on Arbor day Wednes
day. ' '
The schools have been planting trees for
the last twelve or fifteen years and the
grounds- are well filled, ome of the
grounds containing so many trees that
some will have to bo cut down instead of
more planted. The two trees which will be
planted will be on the grounds surrounding
the Train school. Sixth and Hickory
streets. Basswood trees, furnished by the
Board of Education, will be used.
Appropriate exercises will be held in all
the schools on Arbor day, the exercises to
contain a history of the day and tho life
of J. Sterling Morton, the originator. The
atudy of nature will be uppermost In all
the schools on that day.
Arbor day will make no difference In the
parks, as trees and shrubbery are being
planted In the parks everyday. As the
detention home is to be moved no trees
will be planted there, but flowers and
vine will be planted on the new grounds.
There are plenty of trees on the new
grounds of the detention home. Should
any tncorrlglbles be brought before him
that day. Judge . Estelle of tho juvenile
court says he will sentence them to plant
trees on vacant lots.

RUTH BYERS WINS THE PRIZE
Geta Gold Medal for Beat Beaay la
U. A. R. High School
' Coateat.
Miss Ruth Byers ' won the gold medal
awarded by th Daughters of the American
Revolution and had the honor ot reading
her essay befote her classmates of th
high, school senloK class Monday afternoon.
Th essay was on "The Minute Man."'
' The contest Is an annual Institution In
the school and Is entered by every student
of American history'. The Judge were a
committee from . the - Daughters ot the
American Revolution and they reserved
their decision until that feature of the
program had been reached, so tha announce
ment of the name ot the winner came as a
surprise to the entire class. The exercises
began at 1:30 o'clock In room 204 of the
high school.
Th large study room on the second floor
of the high school was decorated with
American flags and flower and the senior
class completely filled th room. Members
of the Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, to the number of a score, occupied
seats on the - platform In the form of a
semicircle and A. H. Waterhouse, princi
pal of the high school, delivered the ad
dress of welcome.
Rev. Frank L. Loveland, ' pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church, re
sponded with a short address on "The
Spirit of American Literature." He com
pared the literature of this country with
that of the old world, saying that It
carried out the Ideas of American pro
gresslveness and always forging to the
front, as compared with the stolidity of
the old world. "Affairs are at a stand
still In the old world, while in this coun
try they are on the move." There things
stand, here they do not." said Mr. Love
land. "The old nations hesitate, dream
and are conservative, while In this coun
try they are spontaneous and progressive.
'The Minute Man' exactly expresses th
sentiment in this country, always ready
to jump at the call of duty."' .
Mrs. Samuel Rees, former regent of th
Daughter of the American Revolution, pre
served' the medal to Miss Ruth Byers and
called upon her to' read her essay, stating

Verna Hayes rendered, a violin solo.
The contest Is an annual affair for which
the local members of the Daughters of the
American Revolution offer si gold medal for
the winner and considerable interest is
manifested In the event among the member
of the senior class.

Spring frock!, like the buds and blossoms,

and seldom have New York women met
an Easter with minds so blessedly tranquil

Of course sheer, summery frocks Will keep

for dressmakers an,d mllUnorsthis year.be
cause an early spring has made women

regulation time.
And then, too, the things shown In the
shops have been so attractive that even
In this year of financial trials It ha been
hard for femininity to resist buying and
ordering. As has been said before in these
columns, there are so many wearable
frocks.

PROPER MOURNING JEWELS
American Women Have Ideas of
Their Oa on Thta
Sabjeet.
Just what jewels If any, may be consid
ered tit for mourning is' a pug tie to women
of society. An Englishwoman will appear
draped In doleful black, yet displaying
blinding jewels. "
A widow highly placed In Vanity Fair re
cently attended a wedding. She wore a
long thick veil. But when she threw It
back a beautiful dlemond necklace was seen
to be encircling, her throat, and she wore
large pearl eardrops. Queen Alexandra of
England has asserted that pearla and dia
monds may be considered "mourning gems"
and jetornaments' are abominations.
New York and other cities where the fash
ionable throngs have Ideas of their own
de not accept tha queen's verdict. Wearing
of gems has always been thought bad taste
for those In mourning, and probably Ameri
can women will continue to think so and
to keep their jewels under cover n the first
two yeara after a family bereavement. To
deck oneself In ornaments Is not the gen
ersl conception of an expression of grief.

AFFIDAVITS IN WATERCASE
Absence of Three Expert. Witnesses
Basis for Asking- Continuation.
PLANT BUILT FOB SMALLER CITY
General Attack oa I tlllty and Ade
aaey of the System la -Made
by tha Water
Board.
Failure of M. I Holman ot St. Louis,
J.- T. Fanning of St. Pul and Benesette
Williams of Chicago to be present In the
federal court at thla time for the hearing
of the hydrant rental cases of the city of
Omaha against the Omaha Water company
Is tho basis bf affidavit filed by th at
torney for the Water board for a con
tinuance of the case which haa gone over
until May 11.
These three men are the leading wit
nesses In this case. It Is stated, since they
made an examination last September of
the water works. Holman Is engineer of
the fit. Louts water works. Fanning la one
of the most prominent water works en
gineers In the country, and Williams Is an
authority on construction and maintenance
of water plants.
Among the allegations made In the affi
davits I one that Mr. Fanning In an In
terview with Mr. Williams In Chicago last
month told him what they would testify to.
Contents of tho Affidavits.
The affidavits state: .
The plans for the Omaha water works
were originally made for a city of S0,0u0
Inhabitants and contracts were entered
Into on that basis. All the water waa to
be pumped Into reservoirs to be used by
the city of Omaha alone. The same con
ditions prevailed a to the hydrant rentals
Involved now In these suits. The pipe dis
tribution is Inadequate both aa to stse
and connections to furnish adequate fire
protection at this time. First, the pipe dis
tribution has been changed from time to
time to meet the growth of the city.
Second These connectlona are merely
additions to the old system and "patch
work," and not on plans that would meet
the approval of engineer ot water con
struction at the present time. The flow
therefrom is diminished.
Third The amount of water furnished to
Omaha and Bouth Omaha Is about 6,U,0i
fallens per day and water for South Omaha
lows through the pipe distribution system
ot Omaha and to that extent diminishes the
quantity of water the water company
would otherwise furnish the city ot Omaha
for fire protection and private consumers,
and this large flow of water through th
fiipe distribution to South Omaha dlmln
shes by pressure and friction to such an
extent that the pressure all over Omaha
for fire protection is diminished to a
marked degree, and In certain large areas
of territory th supply ot water la wholly
Inadequate to furnish fire protection either
with or without fire engines.
Fourth The pressure and flow Is Inade
quate to suppress a large fire. The Wal
nut Hill reservoir, then adequate, Is now
Inadequate to contain a sufficient supply
of water to meet an emergency In a city
of the size of Omaha. But a single water
main from the source of supply at Flor
ence and thence southward to Omaha is
now provided. This main for a dlstsnce lies
between the settling basins snd the Mis
souri river bank and are so placed that If
a break should occur therein or about the
reservoir it would Interrupt the supply of
water for the city of Omaha for several
days, and that It would probably result
In the breaking away of the bank of the
east line of the settling basin, In which
event It would require ten days or two
Weeks to restore the supply of water and
Omaha would be without any water sup
ply whatever, It Is recommended that to
avoid this hazardous situation that there
should be constructed In a suitable locality
a reservoir of such dimensions ss to hold
TS.OOO.OOO or 100,000,000 gallons or wster.
Without such a reservoir the city of Omaha
Is In a hasardous situation In the event
of a conflagration of any extent.
Fifth and Sixth By the reason of th
diversion of the 5,000.000 gallon of water
daily to South Omaha, the water has not
time to properly settle, clarify and purify
In the settling basins, and hence the pres
ent murky conditions of the water.
Placed Before Baslaess- Men.
The substance matter, contained in these
affidavits was placed before a committee
of the leading business men of Omaha, In
surance men and owners of the largest
stocks of goods In Oinaha last Octobor
at a meeting held In the Commercial club.
It was not deemed advisable at that time
to make the matter public or to create
any uneasy apprehension among Omaha
people. The proposed reservoir could not
b built during trie winter, but it Is now
believed by the advocates of the new
reservoir system that the work on Its con
struction should begin as soon as possible.

HAS it ever occurred to you the value of
, the treasure which is lost every day in
the city? Watches and pins carelessly at
tached are lost . Purses, bank-booksi checks,
boncls, valuable papers and keepsakes, whose
value cannot be estimated, are lost every day
Were it not for the Lost and Found columns of this paper
thousands of dollars' worth oi valuables would be lost to their
owners forever, but since The Bee is read in all parts or the eity,
it is now possible for anybody who loses anything, to insert an
advertisement, and it is possible for the finder who is honest
and the majority of people are honest to locate the owner of
anything that may be found.
