Throngs of Visitors Received by Of
ficials in New Building.
RECEPTION LASTS ALL DAY
Little Work Was Dome Everyone
Having- Been Kept Bnsy En
tertaining the Many
Guests.
Regardless of tha fact that the mer
cury followed the tube to a point con
siderably below zero and the brisk north
west wind blew the snow into drifts along
the streets, several thousand people vis
ited the new Union Pacific headquarters
building between the hours of 10 and 4
yesterday. The affair was In the nature of
a reception, but was entirely Informal.
Practically complete In every detail,
the $1,260,000 office building, twelve
stories high, at : Fifteenth and Dodge
streets, , was thrown open to tho public at
10 o'clock and from that hour until clos
ing time In the afternoon the crowds
surged through the corridors, the publlo
and the private rooms. There was no
place that the "keep out" sign was vis
ible and the people of Omaha were just
as much at homo in the private office of
President Mohler as In the space outside
of the rati of the public ticket office.
All ' day iong the visitors ' troiiped
through the offices and departments.
From Cellar to Garret.
They secured information concerning
the sending of wireless telephone and
telegraph messages; they witnessed, the
feeding of the furnaces and then went
up Into the offices of the treasurer,
where thousands of dollars were being
paid to the employes, the occasion being
the regular monthly pay day for the
1,000 or more persons who work in the
building.
Everybody connected with the Union
Faciflo Railroad company, from Presi
dent Mohler down to the humblest em
ploye, came In for congratulations. There
was a profusion of flowers everywhere.
huge bouquets of roses and other cut
flowers reposing on the desks, having
been sent in by friends.
Although there was a semblauve of
routine work during the morning hours,
the work that was performed did not
amount to much, as visitors did not hes
itate to bolt into an office, no matter if
an official was dictating a private or
personal communication to a higher of
ficial, or a friend.
Everybody Leads a Hand
No one in particular did the honors.
The heads of the various departments
were all in thler rooms to receive. As the
crowds came these heads snowed tne
visitors through their respective depart
ments and passed them on, the clerks
helping to answer the many questions
and explain the Intricacies of scientific
railroading.
The elevator men, for the first time,
were clad In their spile and span dark
blue new suits and caps of the same
color, ornamented with gold buttons and
gold braid. In the corridors there was
an army of Janitors and assistants, each
man clad in. a spotless uniform ol wnite.
While these men were not at work dur
ing the day they gave practical Illustra
tions of how to chase dirt.

WHO DEL1VKH3 T11K BEK ON A
Premium Offered
for Nebraska Wheat
Over Northern Grain
The following clipping of lmense Inter
est to Nebraska farmers is from the
Minneapolis Tribune:
"Recent quotations from Minneapolis
show that for the first time In the his
tory of that market Nebraska and Kansas
hard winter wheat la selling at a pre
mium over No. 1 northern spring wheat,"
says W. K. IlotchklrK. the Hastings
N'eb.) manager for the Hall-Raker Grain
company of KaiiFas City.
"It l.i only, a few months ago When
hard winter wheat was selling at 6 to (
cents under nprlng, and several years ago
It was bringing a dlncount of 8 to i cents
under. Every winter wheat raiser will
no doubt be glad to hear that their wheat
Is now worth more money than any other
other wheat raised in the world and
should be crowned king of wheat. 11
would seem that the quality of spring
wheat Is deteriorating and winter wheat
Is needed for blending to give It strength.
Should the above conditions continue to
prevail, It is a potability that the milling
center of the world would shift from the
northwest to the southwest.
"The consumer will probably ask the
question why It Is that he has to pay 15
to 20 cents more for spring wheat flour
over winter wheat flour when winter
wheat is bringing t cents more per bushel
than eprlng wheat In the northwestern
markets."
