The T'nlon Ptrck Yards company Is to ex
pend $200,000 on permanent Improvements to
the yards this reason, according to Gen
eral Manager Everett Buckingham, and
the Improvement! are now under way In
the cattle yards.
The latest announcement was made yes
terday morning by the manager that the
building now occupied by the dining hall
Is to be raised another story and the sec
ond floor Is to be fitted up with model
off c.s ior the accommodation of commissi:
firms. Clay, Robinson & Co., Roberts
Brothers and the Bowles Commission com
pany will occupy the nev. quarters. The
Clay, ltohlnson Company will have one-half
of the new addition and the rest will be
occupied equally by the other firms.
"It Is a sign, or the stability of this
market and the permanence of western In
dustry," said Mr. Buckingham, "when we
are called upon bo often as we are to pro
vide more accommldatlons. This la true In
the offices and In the yards. Half of the
offices In the building have been remodeled
to give the greatest economy of rpace and
the greatest convenience. Now that every
Inch of the big exchange building Is oc
cupied we simply have to build more. It Is
a question of time only when further ad
ditions or reconstruction entire will follow.
"In the yards we are laying solid cement
floors to our runways and In the cattlo
pens. This work will reach great pro
portions before the summer closes. New
lumber for the pens Is being put In the
repaved sections. We will probably spend
$200,000."
Mayor's Proclamation.
Mayor P. J. Tralnor Issued his first pro
clamation yesTerday, which was In ex
hortation to the citizens to observe Arbor
day, April 22, by planting trees and shrub
bery and otherwise beautifying the streets
of the city. The following Is the text of
the proclamation:
Whereas, The 22nd day of April of each
year has been designated by the legislature
cf the state of Nebraska, as Arbor day.
for the purpose of encouraging the planting
of trees within our state.
Now Therefore, I, Patrick J. Tralnor,
mayor of the city of South Omaha, lotig
las county, Nebraska, do hereby proclaim
Friday, April 22, 1910, a legal holiday In
acoordance with the statutes of the state
ard respectfully urge and request the
people of South Omaha to observe the said
day in the spirit in which It Is Intended,
by planting trees In out public parks,
streets, avenues and boulevards, and around
the private homes of our citizens. .
Our people have reason to feel proud of
their errorts in the past In planting and
encouraging the growth of ornamental and
shade trees within our city, and it has
added much to the attractions of our town,
and I trust that the same spirit which
animated them In former years to "plant
trees" will be shown by our citizens on the
occasion.
I, Therefore request that our citizens
cease from the activities of business life
on Arbor day and assist In beautifying our
city by "planting trees."
Dated at South Omaha, Neb., this 21st
day of April, A. D. 1910.
f. j. trainor, Mayor.
Accommodation Track Wanted.
The topic of discussion before the South
On aha Commercial club following the
noonday luncheon at the Greer hotel was
the proposition of an accommodation track
In the alley between Twenty-sixth and
Twenty-seventh- streets to pass- from O to
L street. This track 'would accommodate
the new lumber company at Twenty-sixth
and M streets and several other Industries,
both actual and in prospect. The Union
Pacific road agreed to build this track
nearly two years ago, provided the city
would hold It from liability for damages
by reason of the change of grade. The
project fell through , because one of the
property owners wanted $10,000 damages on
this account. The property Is said to have
changed hands since that time and it Is
likely that the other property owners
would waive all damage. A committee
was appointed to reawaken Interest In the
project by stimulating the circulation of
a petition asking the city council to change
the grade to accommodate the new track.
Secures Ballot Boxes.
Sheriff Brall;y look charge of the ballot
boxes Thursday containing the returns of
the recent municipal election In South
Omaha. He did this under order from the
county court, before which the contests of
Kelly against Ryan, Larkln against Peter
son and Elliott against Miller will be tried.
The hearing in these cases will be May-2.
This action will relieve the South Omaha
police department from maintaining a
watch over the ballot boxes, which has
been kept since the election. The city
clerk was of the opinion that he could have
retained possession of the ballot boxes
until the court actually needed them In the
hearing, but waived the right In the In
terest of harmony.

Fred Kerbls and Miss Bertie Ferguson
