LINCOLN. Nob., Jan. I.-(RpeciaJ.)
The state engineer's office has completed
the plat showing the road which thg
Rovcrnor has selected as the government
rond, to be built through the state, and
will submit the plan to tho governor to
morrow. A couple of weeks ago Governor Aulrlch
lecclved a letter from Sonator Bourne,
chairman of the committee on post roads,
that tho government was considering the
matter of building a lino of road from
'oa.t to coast and that each stato would
foe naked to select two routes, one to bo
built by the government, and the other
to bo maintained by the government, and
a,"ked tho governor to designate the most
practicable routes In this state. Tho route
Just completed on tho plat made by the
chief engineer's office Is the one desig
nated by Governor Aldrlch as the one t
bo built by the government and starts
at Lincoln, where tho road alreudy
selected from Omatia to Lincoln ends.
It will run west through Mllford, Dor
chester, Friend, Bxeter, Sutton, Harvard,
Hastings, Mlnden, Holdrege, Oxford, Mc
Cook, Culbertson, Imperial and Lamar,
crossing1 tho state line Into Colorado
about six miles west of the latter place.
From Dorchester to Culbertson the road
follows the line of the Burlington rail
road most of the way.
The otfier road, which tiio government
will "maintain." will follow the line of
the Union Pacific railroad most of the
way, keeping in the Platte valley after
reaching Valley out of Omaha .

George Wilkinson of Beatrice has been

Ho is a merchant at that place and the

DonKlna County Pays Tax.
County Treasurer W. G. Ure lias for
warded to the state treasurer a check for

him start the New Year properly. t

Governor and Mrs. Aldrlch are holding
an open house at the executive mansion
this afternoon. No invitations were sent
out, but a general invitation was ex
tended to the public to call and exchange
Sew Year's greetings.

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.

I'nrs Ordered.
O. W. 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

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.

Tho beautiful night was most favorable

tully taken advantage of. Omaha's Jubila

had to depend on tlwlr own spirits to
provide tho holiday exubernnco that Is

When the liner wns steaming up tho bay

Angered nt tho treatment necorded him,
General Castro expressed a desire to re.

although some ot his family connections
nnd old friends tried to greet him.
Long beforo the custom's officers

Then ho was conducted to a prlvnto

a young Algerian who has been with htm
