It Is said upon good authority that Deputy Warden Antles at the state icnl tentlary has severed his connection with tlmt Institution, but Warden Mellck will neither deny or affirm the report. Several times rumors of not altogether a har monious feeling existing between the warden and his deputy have been rife, but nothing of a really serious nature ever developed. Th cause of the lack of harmony has been said to be on account of ths action of Deputy Antles In attempting to Insti tute a military condition at the peni tentiary, which was objected to by War den Mellck, who belloved In getting dlsr clpllne by more modern means. Tn anv event, Major Antles has received his pay check and as his commission has expired, and he has been notified that a resignation Is not necessary. It Is' probable that a new man will be wearing tho deputy's uniform after the now year. It is said "that the matter of disposing of Major Antles was hastened by the eplsods of last Sunday afternoon, when a prisoner by the name of Martin '.Irew a knife on the major, but was dls Hrmed before he could reach him.

Wattles, president of the Uiuaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway com pany, has asked The lteo to publish tho following statement which ho desires to make to the public: To the Public: The officers of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company rcnllzo that In tho past they have perhaps neglected to a considerable extent an ImiHirtant duly to the public, tn that they havo not nt all times taken tho patrons of the company Into their confidence, especially regarding tho cx tetistvo and costly expansion of tho street railway property that has been going pn during tho last ten years. If residents of Omaha will look back tn retrospect for ten years and remember the little old cars that were running through our stieots at that time, the rough track, the light rails, tho old power station nt Twentieth and Nlchalos streets, and enmparo theso with tho modem, up .to date, uniformly largn cars wo now have; the almost entire reconstruction of the tracks of our system with heavy rails and con crete base which has taken place, and tho magnificent power station Which has been erected on the river front. It will not re ijulro any stretch ot Imagination to seo the complete transformation that lias been accomplished. Mnny Impro etuents Made. Much of this has been done without boasting or any particular public notice, and the Improvements have been carried forward much more rapidly than the growth of the city of Omaha would seem to Justify; and yet, wlUi the Incrcnse of facilities, tho demand for still others be comes each year nioro Insistent. It may not be generally known, but It Is nevertheless true, that during the year 1912 47,131 lineal feet of track was re constructed In tho business sections ot Omaha and Council Bluffs. This was made necessary by the repaving of streets In those cities. Tho cost of this work was nearly $300,000. Two extensions wero mado to our llnee In Council Bluffs and two In Omaha, one on Cuming street and one on Twenty fourth street. Wooden poles were also removed on several streets and Iron poles substituted. Klcctrlc devices for auto matically controlling track switches were mado at tho ImixirtnnL switching comers on our system. An nddltionul 1,000 K. W. generator was added to the substation at Lake street. Twenty-five puy-as-you-enter double track cars were manufactured during the last year In our commodious shops on Lake street, and extensions to two of our car houses wnro built. Tho total cost ot all these Improvements aggregated about $500,000. Improvement Approved. For 1913 the general manuger of tho company has recommended and tho board of directors has npproved the following Improvements and extensions to the prop erty to be made during tho year: Reconstruction of 2!t,C2iJ Hncnl feet of track to be rebuilt with heavy steel rails and concrote base, tho largest single Item ot which Is the reconstruction of the Far nain street lino from Twentieth street to Fortieth stroetv The construction of n new line on North Tho construction of a new lino to the southwestern part of the city. This line will probably either be built on Lincoln avenue or south from Leavenworth street at about Forty-eighth street, depending on the report of our engineers and gen eral manager after a careful examination of the two routes as to which one will best accommodate the residents of that part of the city. An extension on Harrison street in you only knew what Branch at 334 BROADWAY Council Bluffs I Council Bluffs and some few other minor Improvements. I.ouklliu Alirml. A new 6.000 K. W. tut bine Is to be added to our power plant. The present onpaclty of our power station Is ample for out present needs, but tu less than a year It would 1ms Insufficient, and as It wilt take almost n year to Install the additional unit. It has been decided to commence tho Installation at oucc. Fifteen new doubtn truck cms will bo built fo'r our Omaha division and ton ad ditional cars ot the same type will b built for our Council Bluffs dlvNIon. An additional large dump onr for the U'e of our track department will be pro vided. Tho estimated cost ot the total expendi tures now nuthotlzed will exceed $W.00i. Theso extensions and Improvements, us can readily bo seen, will give employ ment to a large number of our cltlncns who support fnmllles and Nttroulxn Omalm merchants and will add greatly to the efficiency of our system.
