PHYSICAL DIRECTORS,
Bureau of Publicity Would Take
Over Building for City.
CONSIDER IT FOUR WAYS
Looks Good to Commcrctnl Clnb
Ilodr from Uvcrr AurIc thnt It
Slits Up OTrnemhlp by
the City.
After considering for come tlmo tho
proposition of tho purchaso of tho Audi
toflum by the city, the governing commit
teo of the bureau of publicity of the Com
mercial club has coroo to tho conclusion
that the city should have It, and that It
should bo bought by the city. The gov
erning committee has been considering
tho matter from four principal points of
view:
First Is It necessary to Omaha7
Second Is there a possibility of another
fiudltorium In the city In the near fu-
ture?
Third Is the. prlco asked unreasonable?'
I-ourth Is there assurance of satisfac
tory management?
The conclusion was that an auditorium
Is necessary to-Omaha and to the bureau
of publicity In Its activities In behalf of
Omaha; that If tho present chance Is lost
to the city there Is no chance of a new
auditorium being built within the next
flvo or six years; that tho price asked Is
reasonable considering tho value of tho
ground and tho value of tho building,
especially in comparison to tho other
auditoriums built and purchased by other
cities, and that there Is assuranco of sat
isfactory management in tho commission
of nine proposed by the city council.
The proposition of tho council is that
a commission of nine men bo chosen as
a management commission, tho men to
be chosen from. the city council, the Com
mercial club, bureou of publicity, Central
Labor union, Associated Retailers of
Omaha, Omaha Manufacturers' associa
tion, tho Omaha Jobbers' association, tho
Ileal Estate exchange, tho Federation of
Improvement clubs.
The bureau of publicity will make a
campaign seeking to carry tho bonds for
the purchase of the Auditorium. Tho bond
Issue that is asked Is for $250,000, which Is
to cover tho purchase of tho Auditorium
and remodeling or improvement. This docs
not mean (hat the whole amount will be
spent on the purchase. It haB been offered
to the city at 1225,000. There Is a certain
feeling that It can be purchased for even
less.
A meeting of representative men from
dozeha.oX industries In the city was called
nt tho Commercial club at noon to con
sider the matter of the Auditorium bonds
further. The meeting was called by C.
M. WUheim. Members ot tho governing
committee of the publicity bureau and
tho manager of tho bureau were among
those In tho meeting.
E, E, Calvin of Oregon
Short Line Sees Big
Business Year Ahead
E. E. Calvin, recently appointed vlco
president and general manager of tho
Oregon' Short Line railroad, with head
quarters in Salt Lake City, is in Omaha
in conference with President Mohlor and
other officers of tho Union Pacific.
Mr. Calvin looks forward to a prps
porous 'year through the states traversed
by tho Short Line nnd predicts bountiful
crops and a rovlval of, .business ' fa all
avenues of trade.
Accordjng to Mr. Calvin, there has beon
a heavy fall of snow In tho mountain
districts of tho -states west of the Mis
souri river, and when It melts it will bo
conserved In tho reservoirs, affording an
abundanco of water for irrigation pur

crop were never better than now,
As to the Short Line properties, Mr.
Calvin says they have been kent in snlen-
