MCISE AND HAYWARD NEVER "They Will Tiot Get on the Excise Board," Bay Colonel Charley Fanning. "Walter Mols and Harry Hayward will never be appointed to places on the ex cise board of the city of Omaha." This is the statement of Colonel Charles E. Fanning, big chief In the Jim camp, member of the board of strategy and cloae friend of the new governor. The colonel did not say why these men would not receive appointments at the hands of Mr. Shallenberger, but was posi tlve In his declaration that thev wmil.l . not be successful. I There are several other democrats after places on the Board of Fire and Police Commission, but leaders amcng the faith ful are of tho opinion that the new gov ernor will not ask for the resignations of members and will do nothing about the governing board until the legislature takes some action. hould the democratic gov ernor make an appointment, to this board it is possible that John Power, former sheriff and member of the Jaok club, to which Mr. Shallenberger belongs, will re ceive the plum. The resignations of John L. Kennedy and Robert owell, members of the board, become effective January j. several day before Governor Sheldon retires. This will glv him an opportunity to appoint their successors before he retires from office. Who these will a Is still a matter of con Jectur. Captain W. J. Brcatch, W. X Klerstead and Burt Murphy are applicant. It Is understood, but It is barely possible that the governor may let the appoint ment go and let the new governor name their auccessors. r Acquisition of Colorado Road Mafcei North and South Cut-Off.

General Manasrer lloldrege of Bar llaatnn West of River "ays It Is Parely a Financial Traaaaetloa. The announcement made from Now Tork that the Burlington and Hill lines had se cured a controlling Interest in the Colorado & Southern came a a great surprise to railroad circles. Denver is aroused over the change for fear that the general offices of the Colorado it Southern will be united with the Burlington and moved to Omaha. This is a most Important announcement for the Burlington, as It will give that road an outlet to the gulf and also make a more direct connection for the Burling ton between Wyoming and Denver. The mileage of the Colorado ft Southern lines is 2,207 miles and consists of the Colorado ft Southern Railway company, the Fort Worth ft Denver City Railway company, the Trinity ft Brasos Valley Rail way company, the Wichita Valley Railway company and the Colorado Springs ft Crip ple Creek District Railway company. This network of roads would not only give the Burlington a direct outlet to the gulf, but would also prove an Immense feeder to the Burlington lines to the east from Denver. The Colorado ft Southern runs from Orln Junction on th Northwest, ern in Wyoming through Guernsey, the western terminus of the Burlington to Cheyenne, from which point it ha a traf fic agreement over the Union Pacific to Denver. The Colorado ft Southern has lines extending north from Denver to Fort Col lins and Greeley and It Is thought when the deal goes through these lines will be extended to Cheyenne. . Short Line for the Ore. If the Burlington secures control of the Colorado ft Southern It will give a shorter line for the Immense ore traffic from Wyoming to the smelters of Colorado. While the Colorado ft Southern has a line of Its own between Denver and Pueblo, that line Is used for freight, nnd a traffic agreement has been made whereby the line of the Santa Fe Is used for passenger train. - The Colorado & Southern ha the famou Georgetown Loop on Its system and this will be added to the Burlington system by the acquisition. The Colorado ft South ern also owns a half Interest in the Colo rado Midland and this will give the Bur lington control of a railroad as far west as Grand Junction. The Colorado ft Southern owns a line from Denver to Houston and has traffla agreements from Houston to Galveston, making an outlet to the Gulf for the products of Colorado and Wyoming. With the completion of the new line from Guernsey to the Big Horn Basin by the Burlington Denver will be put in direct touch wllth the entire eastern half of Wyoming. While no definite announcement has been made as to when this line will be built It Is pretty generally understood that it will be one of the first large under takings In the spring.' Purely Financial Deal. O. W. Holdrege, general manager of the BurVlngton, says the acquisition of the Colo rado & Southern Is purely a financial proposition and that he had not a yet been advised of the matter except what he had read in the newspaper. The Hill system secures about 8,339 ad ditional miles of road and penetrates the Harrlman territory on the south as well as on the north. It has been known for the past week that important deals were pending, but these were persistently denied. John F. Stevens, who built some of the Hill roads, made the report on the Colo rado & Southern system. OTHER NEWS OF TUB RAILROADS Union Paclfle Rashes Work on Gray's Ilarhor-Tacoma Line. Announcement is made that the Union Paciflo will rush the construction of tho line from Gray's Harbor to Taooma and have the line In running order within six months. For the present the line will be built to connect with the Tacoma East ern, which will afford a temporary en trance to Tacoma. According to an agree ment between the Union Paciflo and Mil waukee which was formally settled between President Earllng of the Milwaukee and President Harrlman of the Union Pacific, a few days ago, the roads will use the same tracks in western Washington. From Tacoma the Union Paciflo will reach rVaftls over the Milwaukee tracks and the Mil waukee will go to Gray's Harbor and Portland over the Union Paciflo tracks. Freight Trtfflo Still Swells. Freight business on the transportation lines of the west continues to improve. The western roads have quite a rush of grain and live stock, although there is now quite a let up In the grain movement. One rail road man facetiously remarked that the farmers all wanted a little change for Christmas and the grain poured into the coutry elevators. The grain movement was in all directions, some going to Chicago and some to Minneapolis and St. Louis and the southeast. Burlington Promotions.

BARLOW, Chairman ARNOLD C. KOENIG, Secretary WATER COMPANY SAYS "SO" Will Bar Any Board Man from Enter ing Its Office. THAT'S ANSWER TO COMMISSION Latter Will Not Be Allowed to Station Aur Aent or Member la llead aaarters of the Cor poration. , No representative of the Omaha Water board will be allowed to install himself in the office of the Omaha Water com pany on Tueaday and future days for the purpose of giving information to consumers of water regarding the new rates which the board agreed upon two months ago und which it ordered into effect on January 1, 1909. Officials of the water company and the company' attorneys held a conference Monday morning and this resulted In the decision to bar out any representative of the board who might wish to enter the office. This decision was made on the grounds that the water works are owned by b private corporation, that the city ha not a yet taken over tha plant and for that reason th company does not intend to be bothered by an outsider or be told by an ousldor what charges to make for water. Further, 'the company will not ac cept the new rate made by th Omaha Water board. The new rate were made by th board early In November, the schedule affecting botn flat and meter rates. Copies of the rates were served on the local officials and the local attorneys. Hall A &iout, and a copy mailed to President Woodbury. At that time R. S. Hall made the statement that the company would never accept the rates, and he and the company officials atlll stand back of this statement. Shortly after election Mr. Stout Journeyed east and went over the proposition with Presi dent Woodbury and General Counsel Mans field, with the result that local officials were notified to continue to charge the rates now in effect until the matter of the sale to the city of th plant' wa finally adjudicated. Neither Consalts Other. Saturday evening the Water board held a meeting and ( In the Sunday morning papers Inserted advertisements to the ef fect that representatives of the board would be found on Tuesday In the board's office In the city hall and the office of the water company In the Be bulktlng. President Barlow of the board say that the company was not consulted about this, but that he anticipated no trouble. Attorney Hall for the company says his company has not consulted the board, but that no repre sentative of the board will be allowed to enter the office. The new rates made by th board are, the company official say, much more "un reasonable" than were th rates mad a year ago, which were never Enforced through court action. The officials also stste that If tha city owned th plant It could never operate It on the rate which the board ha now fixed. Wur consumer who us tho flat rate pay sis months In advance. Th next six months' period begins January 1. The Water board gives notice to these consum ers to pay merely th new rat which 1 considerably lower than that now In effect. These smaller payment will not be accepted by the company and unless the consumer wants to run the risk of his water being turned off th present higher rat must be paid.
