CALLS TOR BIO LOT OF EXTRAS
1 lie mo Were to IIbt Been Supplies!
br Other tniitwctor Work
Done at the ('antr
Hospital.
A 1)111 Is now In Aie hands of the Doug
Ins county commlsHloners that Is puxsllns;
t.j Rome of the members, at least. It Is In
fnvor of Geori?c 1'arks & Co., and calls
for 11,023.75, for extras on a contract to
pt now boilers at the iJouRias county
hospital. The contract for sotting the
boilers was let to the Tarks firm early
in the fall, for a lump sum of 12.9S7, which
amount wus paid to that firm November
19. The original contract provided, as
shown by committee report attached, that
thiTJ should be no extras of whatsoever
nature, us the contract covered all that
was necessary to be done.
In a notation attnehed to the pending
bill the county comptroller calls attention
to the fact that Turks ft Co., have charged
In their bill 11.40 per yard for sand, while
Hull & Co. have contracted to furnish
sand to the county at 78 cents per yard;
that cement is ciiarped for at the rate of
BO cents per sack, while Hull A Co. fur
nish cement to the county at 29V4 cents a
nark.
The Itemized bill for extras of Tarks tk
Co., chnres for material 11P1.39; for steani
flttins; 1273; for brlek masons, $102.75, and
for helpers $:r.'fi.V. Thus there Is a labor
cost of 1S4.W. asalnst a cost for material
used by the workers of 1101.89.
Superintendent Elsasser explains that the
engineer of tha huspltul kept tab on the
hrurs put fn by the steam fitters, masons
and helpers, and that he supposes tho
sahia 'Is correct. . The work done was the
dlKKlnn of a pit wherein a tank that had
to be moved could be placed. Then the
pit had to be bricked up and new connec
tl ns made with the tank and boilers. Ac
cording to some contractors who have seen
tho bill fof ex'ras, the steamfttters, masona
sr.d other workers must have been kept
on the ground duiinR all the time the work
was In progress, and no one has yet ex
plained Just why this was necessary.
There Is another bill connected with tho
same Job, In favor of the United States
upply company, for 1251, for a valve by
Which the boilers and tank can be chaJiRed
from high pressure to low. Men familiar
with such things Insist the county could
have bought ft similar valve In open market
fo.- at least ISO less.
The whole .natter will be Investigated
and ventilated by the board before the
I'arks & Co., bill for extras Is allowed.
Crude Oil May
Flow to Omaha
from Wyoming
GoVernor Brooks ays Project is Con
sidered for Pipe Line from Cas
per to Gate City.
Wyoming crude oil to market br way
of a pipe line from Casper to Omaha Is
a project likely to be consummated soon,
atcordlna to Governor Brooks, who Is
taking & large interest in the developement
of the nulurul resources of his state. The
governor Is stopping at the Her Grand, as
tha guest of Krtd A. Castle, manager, dur
iiiK his may In Omaha on his way home
from Chicago. Governor Brooks has been
In attendance at the Farm Land congress
there for the past ten days.
"I'-iiKltsn capitalists are investigating the
v' po(,.- iullitli s oi our oil fields," said the
Bovirnor," anl the prospects are highly
favorable. - . "
"l)j. , Charles, J. Fauvel, an oil specialist,
repi t'.st nU' K. It Is said, large English
iir.tiri ts In (lie oil territory, 1b making a
study of conditions. He told me Just before
my departure for tho east that It was
highly probable that a pipe line would be
laid down' the grade to Omaha, where
the ol could be put on tne market.
"That can be made to mean great things
to our country. At Omaha the railroad
facilities and later, possibly, river navi
gation. Will mean a sure and certain
outlet for the product.
"The Wyoming oil Is chiefly valuable for
lubrication. It Is true that the oil out
there has been little heard from, but It
has been known for a long time. Why,
way back there In the early days the
freighters used to take It as It came out
of tho ground In springs lo grease their
wagons. Oil can 'be skimmed off the top
of most any well out there around Casper
and Lander, the principal towns of the
oil districts.
Althcugh Govemnr Ilrooks would have
nothing to say about matters politically,
It was said by other vrMeiners at the
hotel tiat the kockIp was that he would
aauin be a candidate. Then there Is a
Whisper that he hearj the call ot the

BARTLETT MRS. PRATT'S
COUNSEL IN SETTLEMENT
Inside of T)rnl Whereby Drome anil
Yluannhalt-r Held the Sack la
Filtering Through.
The plot thick ns!
It's a good old game, "rolling the law
yers," ' said one member of the Douglas
county bar, referring to the settlement of
the Pratt suits by Colonel and Mrs. Pratt
without the knowledge of Attorneys Vin
sonbaler and Drome, who had represented
her li district court.
"It's brul on- the lawyers though." con
tinued the speaker "particularly when you
cons'der that Mrs. Pratt was in a position
to fore a settlement only through the
effort i of these atorneys."
"Tlu r. Is a law against "rolling a drunk,"
tald u jfd,;e of the district court, "but
oon aulnst tolling an attorney."
It has been Karned that Mrs. Pratt was
represented in the settlement by Attorney
C M. Bartlett. When Messrs. Vlnsonhaler
and Drbino were trying to locate her down
east, they got word that she had retained
S. Boston firm, Haley and Dlckerman.
Writing to this firm the two Omahans
received an answer that the suit had
5en settled, that E. M. Bartlett had acted
'or the Bustonlans here and that his name
had been suggested "by their Chicago
lorrtspondent."
Ylrtaonhalrr and Brome think "their Chl
;aao coi respondent" w as none other than
:1. W. Magco. Colonel Pratt's son-in-law
tiul ae:ciale counsel with John C. Co win
n bvhalf of Colonel Pratt. Bartlett and
jeiiural Cowin anel intimate frlm.ls, and It
ouka to Messrs. Brume and Vlnsonhaler
la not utt.ily imrpobuble that Mr. Magee,
f ha was the "Chicago correspondent."
nlfcht have hcurd General Cowln some
line speak highly of Mr. Bartlttt's talent
is an attorney. Who represented Colonel
fratt hlmtelf in the negotiations which
td to a bfttlement does not appear and
here is nolhjng which will warrant the aa--itteui
thai ft was Mr. Cowln.

PROTEST MADE AGAINST ,
GARBAGE DISTRICT PLAN
Sonthweat Improvement Club Insists
that Scheme- Exists to Speenlate
and Make Moner. .
Fred Schamel, president, and If. V. Stev
ens, secretary, of the Southwest Impiove
meut club, have filed with the rlty clerk
a protest against the proponed establish
ment of garbage districts In the city of
Omaha. An ordinance for that purpoae Is
now before the council committee of the
whol.
The southweit Improvers Insist In their
protect that "the object of the ordinance
la not to enhance the Interest, health or
condition of the citizens of Omaha, but to
speculate and make money out of and by
virtue of such proposed ordinance." They
also express themselves In favor of main
taining the garbage contract as It. stands
at present, and It the contractor .eloes not
carry out its terms that he be sued on his
bund.
It Is understood about the city hall that
zlmllar protests from other Improvement
clubs and civic organisations are in process
of incubation. Tha pending ordinance Is
favored by Health Commissioner ConnelL.
ho believes anything would be better than
ihe present arrangement. The Protestants
say the district system was once tried in
Omaha with anything but satisfactory results.
