In the physical valuation department of
the railway commission went Into effect.
K. C. Hurd. who has been chief cnplneer
since the organization of the commission,
was expecteiL to retire at this time but
unfinished business has caused him to
stay over for a few days.
With the retirement of Mr. Hurd. C. It.
Gefrber, the principal assistant, was pro
mote'll to the place formerly .filled by Mr

Is promoted to assistant engineer and
his salary raised from J2.100 to 12,700. Guy
Barnes, assistant engineer, gets a raise
from J100 to 5)12.30.
This makes a saving In the salary
budget of the physical valuation depart
ment of the railway commission of
J3.SS7.50.
The couse of the retirement of Mr.
Hurd wab for the reason that the work
of physical valuation of corporations
which have been under his jurisdiction
for a long time Is practically completed
and thcro wrs no need of a hlgh-prlccd
man n fill's ability, though It Is conceded
that his successor, Mr. Gerber, Is emi
nently fitted for tho position and well
qualified to carry on tho work.

Placek on War Path
Over Proposed Rate
(From n Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 18.-(SpeclaJ.)-8enator
U. H. Placek of Wahoo came to tho state
house this afternoon with blood In his
ye, looking for the railway commission.
The' senator Is tar from pleased with
the proposed changes of tho commission
,relHtlve to freight rates, and says it Is
unfair to discriminate against his home
town of Wahoo by the making of a rate
10 per cent higher than that of Lincoln,
Hastings and other towns. "It will raise
hobs with me." said he, "If I have got
to pay 10 per cent higher rates than othei
towns competing against me In my busl
ness. Last year I paid out over H 3,(03
lu freight-charges and I can't stand any
more, I can't see why Wahoo is nol
entitled to be one of the chosen twelve
to be given special rates as well as Hast
ings, Plattsmnuth or some of the rest of
the towns."
