XL1II NCL 99, TJJ13 BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1913. SINGLE COPY TWO CENTS. EDITOEIAL PAGES 11 TO 20 DIRECT THONEON CREDITS Fifteen Stores to Be Connected with Credit Bureau of Betailers. THOMPSON NAMES COMMITTEES Hustlrrs for the Anaoclntrtl Iletnll ers Are Named by the Prestilrnt for the Yeni SprcUl Committers Alio. By November 1. direct telephone lines from the credit departments of fifteen stores In Omaha to the credit bureau of the Associated Ketailern of umahs. In the City National bank building are to be established. This . was decided at a meeting of tho retailers Thursday night. The Idea Is that the retailers want quicker service on the wire between their credit departments and the- credit bureau, In ol der that they may not have to wait for Connections, by central "and for busy wires, when they are In a hurry to get information from tho credit department. Bo far as thn association know3 there Is .but one city In the United States that has such service now. That Is Indiana polls. While there will be but fifteen such lines established at once, J. W. Met calfe, secretary of the association, be lieves It will eventually mean the estab lishment of thirty-five or forty private lines. The proposition was recommended by Charles R. Courtney of the credit bureau. The proposition and figures of the telephone company for this work "were considered and accepted. Committees Named. President H. A. Thompson of the re tailors appointed his committees for the year as follows: RAILIIOAD COMMITTER. T. P. Redmond, chairman; John H. Hussle, vice chairman', Robert Roseni welg, W. O. Brandt, George B.

Jobbers from all of the cities of the state, say the railroad men, gave testi mony, showing that while the distance tariff would not bring about a radical reduction of freight rates In favor of any particular point. It would result In destroying all of the Jobbing centers ultimately brtngjjig' about small wholesale establishments In all of the towns of th state, each with a limited territory. Drives Wall of Well Down as the Bottom of Soil is Dug Away An Innovation In the form of well dig ging has been introduced to Omaha by John Rlcketts, who Is sinking a well for the Evans Model Steam laundry. Instead of digging the well and then building the wall Rlcketts Is building tho wall first and then allowing It to sink Into the earth. Tho wotl Is being dug to furnish the laundry with water with which to clean the clothes. It will sink about seventy feet Into the ground to bed rock, when It will be Impossible to go dry. The first thirty feet of the wall will be thirteen Inches and the remaining forty feet will be eight Inches. About fifty-five feet have been dug already, but the hardest part will be In digging the other fifteen feet. The wall Is constructed on a circular steel shoe, that Is built like a wedge. Guide posts arc run down the sldo to keep tho well straight and the wedges of the shoe cut about a foot wider than the wall In order to prevent sticking. However, sev eral times the wall sticks when water surges to tho surface, and It Is necessary to keep a thirty-horse power stx-foot cylinder pump going all tho tlnio. Even then the mud which surges up with the water clogs tho pump and makes it necessary to tako the cylinder apart nnd clean It of the mud. It Is a tedious proc ess to clean tho pump and thus delays the work considerably. Water was struck at twenty feet, and ever since tho digging has been a very slow process. The well Is stuck at pres ent and Rlcketts Is using Jacks to force tho wall down. According to Manager Segrist of tho laundry the wall will bo forced to bedrock if they aro compelled to lift tho building with tho Jockscrews. When the well Is Installed water can be pumped Into tho laundry for 'about 3 or 4 cents per 1,000 gallons. The expense will be less, however, as the steam that drives the pump will be uwd to drv the clothes. The water Is more preferable to city water, as It Is clear and cleanVfter sitting through the 200 or 300 feet of quicksand that lies between the level of the water and bedrock.
