CEREAL PRODUCTS ARE RISING
(Fourth Article of Heries.)
Now we come to the cancellation of the
Guy U Axtell. or tha no-called first Mc
l'herson. contract as the next chapter in
the serial of Omaha'b garbage problem.
The reason assigned Is that thr scheme
failed primarily because the hotel men
persisted In their dispute over the separa
tion of substances and finally because
when the company Insisted on enforcing
the contract on the householders, the city
council backed down, taking refuge be
hind a flaw In the passago in tho con
tract ordinance.
This vu about a year and a half after
the contract was entered into and all that
time the contention between the contract
ors and the hotel men dragged on. The
Hotels sold their garbage to anyone wish-
ng to buy It, or made such other disposi
tion an they saw fit The company com
plained that this cheated It out of the
most valuable and accessible garbage and
cut Into Its profits so heavily aa to make
a losing proposition. Appeal to the hotels
was in vain, so the company carried the
case to the city health commissioner, and
to the city council. It contended that inas
much as it was held by a S5.000-bond to
.ho performance of Its contract, the city
should make good Its part in tha bar
gain. Dr. Connell shared this view and
Jolnrd the company la appealing to the
:ounclL
Contract ts Kepndiated
Sr. Cornell had never been absolutely
convinced that this particular contract
was a model or the system or location of
tho plant Ideal, but ho regarded them as
the best the city could obtain Under the
circumstances and, on the theory that
any pott Is a friendly port in time of
storm, believed the city should stand by
the agreement. In the meantime seeking
o Improve conditions at the first op
portunity. Furthermore the health commissioner,
who had gone very carefully into the
whole situation, refused to believe the
rumors that SloPhereon and his associates
were getting rich out of tho contract.
He maintained that, instead of making
enormous profits, the compaur was hardly
making expenses.
When Connelt and McPherson went to
the city council with their Joint plea for
strict performance of the obligations,
they were told that the contract was null
and void, owing to the flaw referred to In
the passage of the ordinance.
Tho council pretended to believe Mc
Fherson would make a fight to force his
point, but Instead he quietly accepted this
construction and stepped from under what
ho affirmed was a losing load for htm,
saying that If h had no legal and binding
contract with the city he had nothing
further to do but retire from the garbage
field and this he did.
RvyentKBca Teat Late.
Meanwhile certain councilman visited
other cities to lncpeot their garbage sys
tems and two at tho couacllmen at
tended a convention ot municipal officers'
at Montreal, where they had opportunity
to study other syrteoM In cetoftarlson with
Omaha. Tho result was highly flattering,
in their judgment, to th Omaha plan.
They reported that no other city was gat
tin its garbage collected, hauled and dis
posed of absolutely free ot eost and weft
assured by cMy off-totals trora various
places that thy regarded the Omaha ar
raoRements as about the best of any,
from tlir standpoint ot expense to tk
city.
So on their return, the councilman could
hardly make haste faet enough in getting
wpiared around to a repsssage of the Mc
l'herson contract-ordinance. They were
eager to correct the technical Imperfection
And net things going on the old basis.
But Mr. Mcl'herson said no; be had had
enough, lie was satisfied before the
wise councllmen made their far-away dls
cover that the city was on the long end
of the deal and. his. friends assert, was
eager for a loopliole of escape whloh,
many suspected, was furnlihed llro by
the council by. connivance.
So there was no more of the Mo
rherson contract No. 1. Tho city en
tered on another period of free-for-all
hauling, a moat undesirable, unprofitable
and unhealthful system, bad from every
standpoint,

(A Whirlwind Finish in
Gardeners around Omaha are shipping
corn and tomatoes to Kansas City and
Lincoln. This Is said to bo the firs
time in the history of Omaha that this
has been done to any extent Tho de
mand Is so great for these products In
these places where most of the prtduce
is dried out that the cry for produce has
reached Omaha. 'While sweet corn Is
still selling: for 10 cents per dozen retail
in some places in Omaha, Kansas City
Is paying 25 cents per dozen for it nnd
glad to get it at that
The much talked of drouth and Its
effect on the corn crop of the country is
beginning- to havo Its effect on the pi'ce
of corn products and the products of the
other cereals. Oatmeal jumped 40 cents
a hundred today wholesale. This makes
a difference in the retail price also, as It
sold formerly 8 pounds for 25 cents and Is
now quoted at seven pounds for a quar
ter. Likewise canned com and comraeal
have made advances. Canned corn ts
selling 25 cents higher for a crata of
twenty-four cans than it did a few days
ago, or practically 1 cent per can.
Sugar has gone from twenty-ono pounls
for fl to twenty pounds.
Apples are going to be a scarce article
In this vicinity according to grocers who
have Investigated an have scouted tound
to do some buying. Tho crop In Nebraska
and Iowa is very short and the Chicago
Association of Trult Growers has slipped
In ahead of the local men and has bought
up most of the apples In the orchards of
these two states. Choice varieties sold
tab. orchards at $100 per barrel, while
fancy apples havo sold In tho orchards
at $3.23.
"There Is every indication that nmf!in
Will go higher." said Al King 'of the
grocery department of Hayden Brothers.
"The Elbert as have been retailing here
for 80 cents a crate for some tlma. hut
will likely go higher. The Oklahoma
