C. 9. Deal Map.
The railroad map of the weat was
changed at the close of last year by the
rurrhasc of the Colorado & Southern rall
ro.id by the Hill Interests and this move Is
now taken as a forerunner of another battle
for possession of territory by those great
railroad kings. Hill and Harrlman. The
put chase of the Colorado A. Southern by
the Hurllngton marks the finish of the in
dependence of all the north and south lines
of toad which for years was thorns In
the sides of the big transcontinental lines.
The short.-r mileage to the gulf gave these
roads a chance at any time to make a
lesser rate to the gulf than the through
lines could make to the seaboard to the
cant or west and thus upset the fabric of
rates.
Tho I'nlon Pacific Is the pioneer In the
west In the mutter of automatic block sig
nals and last year continued the work of
spending millions for protection In spite of
the financial depression. More than 900
miles wem equipped In this country last
year and It Is expected this will be In
creased to 2,nuo during the coming year.

YEAR OF VITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Con ares Makes Large Appropria
tions, Quartermaster's Depot Is
Kspanded and Ulanul Corps
Made More Important.
Railroad have not prospered during the
r lust closed as much as they have In
previous years. In fact the year IS will
go down Into history as the worst year f r
the railroads since the yar 1HI. WhilV
this Is true for the cntir country, the
railroads entering Omaha, the leading
ones of the middle west, have pulled
through the financial troubles better than
roads of any other section of the country
and but ae of tho number has be n forced
Into the hands of a receiver. Very few
railroads have been able to show a gain
Of any kind.
In spite of the financial depression and
the lack of business and the fact that the
railroad managers states over a year agi
that no new work would be done. Hie
western lines have managed to take many
Improvements and none of the roads lias
been permitted to take any backward steps.
Some Large Figures.
Reports show that during the year 3,211
miles of new line have been built In thU
country, representing an expenditure of
$130,000,000, the smallest amount since 1!M
when but 2.832 miles were built. East of
the Mississippi river 761 mllea of new track
were laid In 1908 as compared with 1.8M
miles in 1907, a loss of 69 per cent. West
of the Mississippi river the decrease was
much less, being but 28 per cvnt, tho roads
building 2,465 miles, against 3,-t miles in
1307.
Montona had the greatest amount of new
building as the Great Northern built ltU
miles In that state, the Milwaukee 39D, and
the Nothern Pacific thirty-one.
To the Milwaukee belongs the distinction
of building the longest stretch of track in
the United States. That road built 7.0
miles throught the states uf Montana,
Idaho and Washington. Tho Southern
Paclflo takes second rank with 448 miles,
and the Great Northern third with 271
miles. In Canada, 1.248 miles of new track
were laid and In Mexico 4;l5 miles, which
Is an Increase over the preceding year of
23 per cent.
. The number of cars ordered during the
year was 76,688 as compared with 153.602
In 1907 and the number of cars built waj
78.271 which Is but 27 per cent of tho num
ber built in 1907. The total amount ordered
during the year was practically JJOO.OOO.OOU
Including 62.000 freight cars, 13,000 passen
ger coaches and 11,214 locomotives. This
is small In comparison with last year when
the figures were 151,711 freight cars, 1,791
passenger coaches and 3,482 locomotives.
This decrease In orders of equipment Is
taken as a good Indication of the decrease
in business and are a reflex of business
conditions.
Two Doses Receiverships.
Twenty-four receiverships for railroads
were made necessary In the year Just
closed and the mileage and capitalization
of the roads going into the hands of re
ceivers was greater than for any year
sine 1893.
The total mileage of the roads going Into
the hands of receivers In 19u8 was 8.009 and
the capital stock of these roads was 1325,
850.000 their funded debt was $271,000,000 and
their total outstanding capitalisation was
$596,369,000. In 1893 the mileage of roads go
ing Into receiverships was 29,340 and the
capitalisation was $1,781,046,000. The year
1893 was the most disastrous in the history
of American railroading and the next
worst year was In 1884 when an aggregate
of 11,038 miles of road become insolvent.
The number of roads becoming insolvent
In 1908 was greater than for any year since
1896. The principal roads which went Into
receivership last year and their mileage
were: Seaboard Air Line, 2,611; Chicago
Great Western. 818; Detroit, T and Ironton,
438; Chicago, Cincinnati and St Louis, 281;
International & Great Northern, 1,106;
Western Maryland, 643; Wabash-Pittsburg,
terminals, 63; Wheeling and Louisville, 4:J;
Southern Indiana, 237, and the Norfolk &
Western. 680.
Roads Fast Recovering;.
Tha railroads are fast recovering from
the depression of 1908 and are not only do
ing a bigger business than ever, but are
preparing to do some extensive building
during the coming year. One of the moves
contemplated is for the Union Paclflo to
connect Omaha with Kansas and Kansas
City by a short line of rails and good train
service. This will be done either by the
Union Paclflo building a new line between
Omaha and Lincoln or by using Rock Is
land tracks between Omaha and Lincoln.
With the completion of the Topeka and
Northwestern last year the Union Pacific
now has a good Una between Lincoln and
Kansas City and all that is needed to per
mit the Overland to put on fast service be
tween Omaha and Kansas City is a line
between Omaha and Lincoln.
In forcing the Great Western Into the
hands of a receiver, the year just closed
baa again put one of the prominent figures
of the railroad world into harness. Horace
G. Burt, former president of the Union
Pacific, was first selected by the Knglinh
bondholders of the Great Western to look
over that road to see if it was worth re
building, lie was then made one of the re
CHURCHES HAVE A GOOD YEAR
Not So Many New Buildings Erected,
bat General Prosperity Is
lleallsed.
Growth In numbers, In extent of Institu
tional work ami enlargement or bcautlfl
cation of houses of worship, shows that
the churches of Omaha partook of the gen
eral advance all along the Hno which tha
city experienced during the year.
Of new church building there was little
compared to the amount of construction
for business and residential purposes. This
Is not significant, however, of a lack of
churehly prosperity, because the city had
already built so many large and handsome
churches, built mainly with an eye to the
future, that time will bo needed before
their capacity Is outgrown.
There are some notable exceptions to this
statement, nevertheless. Largest of new
churches building Is the new Roman Cath
olic cathedral, St. Cecilia. This structure,
which will be an architectural gain to the
city as well as on index of the strength of
the given demnominatlon, will have been
completed before another twelve-month
cycle Is completed.
The $100,000 church for the First Church
of Christ Scientist has progressed to the
point that excavation has been nearly com'
pleted. The general plans for this have
been formally adopted, though the main
points are established. It Is expected that
the contracts for this building, which will
be of the "church auditorium" style, will
soon be let.
The members of Immanuel Baptist moved
during the year into a new church home
at Twenty-fourth and Plnckney, having
built there an unusually handsome edifice
somewhat similar in design to the exteriors
of many public libraries. St. Mark's 'Luth
eran church members also spent the year
In a new house of worship. The First
Lutheran Evangelical la now engaged In
building a new school house at Twentieth
and Klin streets.
In an Institutional way nearly every con
gregation or parish In Omaha broadened
or intensified its activities. Some do this
more formally than other, but all are de
voted to good works with the pastor, rector
or minister at the head. In eelymosynary
and philanthropic labors the year 19u7
shows a greater amount of effort than,
ever before and a corresponding increase
In results attained.'
The year was one of many changes In
he personnel of the military staff of the
Department of the Missouri.
Brigadier General Charles Morton was In
temporary cowimand of the department f"t
over a year, succeeding the late Brigadier
General T. F. Wlnt. Brigadier General
William H. Carter, who was assigned thi
permanent command of tho department
over a year ngo, did pot enter upon the
(immand until December 12.
Other changes during the year In the
personnel were: Major Chase W. Ken
nedy, succeeding Major Charles R. Noyes
as adjutant general: Major Jacob O. Gal
bralth, succeeding Major Ix yd 8. McCor
mlek as Inspector general; Major D. E
McCarthy, succeeding Major Thomas
Cruse as chief quartermaster; Lieutenant
Colonel Frank F. Eastman, succeeding
Captain T. B. Hacker as chief and purchas
ing commissary; Lieutenant Colonel Will
iam P. Evans, succeeding Lieutenant
Colonel Alferd C. Sharpe as chief of staff;
M.ijor Herbert D. Lord, succeeding Major
George T. Holloway as chief paymaster;
Lieutenant Colonel Wllllnm B. Davis, suc
ceeding Ueutenant Colonel John M. Banis
ter as chief surgeon; Captain Fred E.
Buchan. suceeding Captain William G.
Doane as Judge advocate of the depart
ment, and Captain John L. Hlnes, suc
ceeding Lieutenant Ctdonel Thomas Swobe
as assistant to the chief quartermaster and
quartermaster In charge of the quarter
master depot In Omaha.
One Death In the Tear.
There has been but one death among the
army officers stationed In and near Omaha
during the year, that of First Ueutenant
Otto B. Grimm of the signal corps at Fort
Omaha.
Only one regimental change was made
in the department. The Sixth United States
cavalry was sent to the Philippines and
succeeded at Fort Meado by the Fourth
cavalry.
The only post abandoned in the depart
ment was old Fort Washakie, Wyo., Its
abandonment having been accomplished
only about ten days ago.
In May last a tornado visited the vicinity
of Fort Crook and succeeded In damaging
the post to about $40,000. Congress was
still In session at the time and an appro
priation of $00,000 was hurriedly secured
for the rehabilitation of the post. Other
Improvements have been made at Fort
Crook during the year In addition to the
repairs necessitated from the tornado,
amounting to about $50,000.

One point on which tho ollce deserve

Secured for the United States navy at tho
Omaha recruiting station and Its substa

for enlistment.
The causes for rejection were mostly for
physical defects, these consisting of poor
color sense, flat feet, bad teeth and hernia.
The other causes for rejection were non-
cltlzenship, floating applicants unable to
give an account of themselves and minors
under 18 years of age being uuable to se
cure the consent of parents or guardians.

Slgnlacaat Improvements.
Appropriations to the amount of nearly
$750,000 have been made for extensive addi
tions to Fort D. A. Russel, Wyo., and
about $150,000 for additions to Fort Robin
son. Neb.
The big balloon house and hydrogen gas
plant at Fort Omaha were completed at
cost of $150,000, and other new buildings
at that post. Including the bakery and
quartermaster store houses, sheds and
stables will reach another $50,000. Exten
sive appropriations were made for new
buildings at Forts Leavenworth and Riley,
Kan., and at Fort Mackenzie, Wyo., and
for a new water system at Fort Meade,
S. D., aggregating a total of $500,000. All
of these posts are In the Department of the
Missouri.
In addition to the extensive building and
repair work at these posts, there was ex
pended through the office of the chief
quartermaster of the department during
the year for forage about $500,000 and a like
amount for fuel.
apply Depot Larger.
The provision was made by the War de
partment for largely increasing the import
ance of the quartermaster depot at Omaha,
placing it In rank with the five other big
quartermaster depots of the country.
Hitherto the annual expenditures for sup
plies for the Omaha depot have been ap
proximately about $30,000, but under the
now order the supplies to be bought here
for Issue will reach the sum of $150,000
per year. Contracts are now pending for
the first six months Installment of quar
termaster stores, which will call far an
expenditure of $75,000.
Of equal importance to the purchase of
quartermaster supplies at Omaha is the
monthly purchase of commissary supplies,
which will reach the sum of $25,000, and
during the year special purchases are made
of cured meats for the use of the army In
the Philippines, Alas.'ia and other Insular
possessions of the country which will reach
over $500,000 annually.

WEATHER IS NEARLY NORMAL
Annual Mean Temperature la Fifty
Two, or Two Degrees Above
Average.
The following summary of the weather
conditions at Omaha during the year 19U8,
up to and including December 28, was taken
from the records of the local office of the
United States weather bureau:
The annual mean temperature was 62 de-'
grees, or two degrees above the normal.
The highest temperature recorded was 96
degrees, on August 3. This date was also
the warmest of the year, the mean for the
day being 86 degrees. The lowest tempera
tur recorded was 3 degrees below sero, on
December 7. The occurrence In December
of the lowest temperature was remarkable,
as It usually occurs during January or Feb
ruary. The lowest temperature recorded
previous to December 7 was 1 degree be
low sero, on February 1, and, while the
lowest temperature occurred on December 7,
the actual coldest day was February 1,
with a mean of 4 degrees above sero, the
mean of December 7 being 13 degrees above
zero. January was unusually warm, the
mean temperature of the month being SO
degrees, or 10 degrees above the normal.
and, excepting January, 1880, was . the
warmest January during the last thirty-
eight years.
The- total precipitation to December 28
was 27.10 inches, or 8.48 inches less than
average annual precipitation at Omaha dur
ing the last thirty-six years. The heaviest
rainfall within twenty-four hours was 1.88
Inches on July 6 and 6. The heaviest fall
of short duration occurred on June 27.
when 1.33 Inches fell In forty-three mln
utes. The heaviest snowfall of the year
was twelve inches on February 17 and 18,
being the heaviest fall of snow occurring
in February during the last thirty-eight
years.
Hourly wind velocities of forty miles per
hour or more were recorded on four sep
arate days. The highest velocity recorded
was forty-four miles per hour, from the
north, on February 18.
The most remarkable feature of the year
was the heavy monthly rainfalls that oc
curred in May and June. The total fall
during these months was io.dl Inches, or
mora than one-half of the entire precipl
tatlon during the year.

A substantial Increase In the strength of
the police fjree and the continuance of
high standards of discipline and efficiency
marked the year Just closed as a success
ful and entirely creditable one.
Fifty-one men wore added to the force.
There are 109 patrolmen, as against sixty-
eight in 1907.
The erccntage of stolen property recov
ered during the year Is remarkable. Not
counting a drummer's trunk containing
about $40,000 worth of Jewelry, which was
stolen, taken out of the city, located and
returned along witn the thler, within a
few hours by the detective force, $22,000
worth of stolen property has been recov
ered. About $33,500 worth of property was
reported stolen during the last twelve
months. The percentage of property re
covered last year was about 66 per cent,
which Is considered high for any police
force. This does not count the single case
of the $40,000 worth of Jewelry, In which
100 per cent was recovered. The police
officers are not counting It In their annual
report for the reason that, although It is
right that they should, It would make
their percentage so high that other police
departments would not believe them. And
they also modestly say that it was too
easy a Job, anyway.
Crimo and criminals have been checked

ax in previous years. There have been
five murders, as against four In HOT, but,

Of the latter, amounting to 112 altogether,
