LIGHT COMPANY TO
MAKE ABID" TODAY
t)fferi to Ijjttall Many More Lights
of Greater Candle Power for
Same Honey.
TO BE DISCUSSED ON MONDAY
The city commissioners this
morning will receive from the
Omaha Electric Light and Power
company a definite proposal for the
maintenance of the street electric
light system for a period of five
years. At a meeting of the com
mittee of the whole the commis
sioners decided to discuss the mat
ter next Monday morning.
The tentative lighting plan as pre
pared by the city electrician and
understood by the light company
(contemplates the installation of 786
additional lights, chiefly in the resi
dence districts. The proposed sys
tem has a total of 3,162 lights, in
eluding 395 lights of the present
Dundee system and 667 In the
South Side district, neither of
vhlch districts would be disturbed
by the new system.
To Replace Area.
The company offer to take out all of
the old-type filming area and onlinary
arc lamps now In use in Omaha proper
and replace them with 400-candlrpower
Mazda lamps. Installing 281 two-light
units and seventy-one single-light units
In tha "ornamental district." being down
town streets where curront is supplied
from underground conduits. This orna
mental district will be extended thtrty
Jlve blocks from the present area, ac
cording to the plan submitted. The plan
further contemplates replacing 1.174 aerial
lamps of Omaha proper with 1,607 of the
new Maida typo lamps.
The proposition of the light company
is to charge 133 per year per lamp for the
lamps hung from center or mast-arm
suspensions and supplied from overhead
conductors; J38 per lamp per year for
the single-unit lambs on ornamental posts
supplied from underground conduits; $71
per lamp per year for the two-light units
on ornamental posts.
To Tome Within Appropriation.
The city electrician will advise the
council that the city will be able to
maintain the proposed new system for
(approximately 'S,O0q less than the appro
priation of $117,000 set aside for this year,
tho desire being to apply the unexpended
balance on a deficit of $38,009 in the light
ing fund.
The city commissioners Intend to go
into this street lighting proposition thor
oughly. The municipal affairs committee
of the Commercial club is Interested and
various Improvement clubs will have a
few words to say.
I.e Cnrreat More Power.
Tha new Masda type lamp, which the
light company proposes to Install in
Omaha, Inquires a trifle more than half
of the current now used by the old style
lamp and , the new type surpasses the
old style in candle power. The company,
it Is stated, will want some consideration
shown on account of the claim that they
will be required to Install about $90,009
worth of new equipment and "Junk" a
lot of old lamps which. Omaha has been
paying for.
As an Illustration of the old and new
rates, this example Is given: There are
1.274 old type aro lamps In the residence
districts of Omaha proper, charged for
at the rate of $08 a year, which figures)
S73.S92; It la proposed to - replace these
.lamps with 1,607 new Masdas at $33 a
year, which figures 73,031 for one year.
The rates quoted by the electric light
company in their latest proposal are
net. which would eliminate the royalty
of 3 per cent. Last year the city re
ceive J $26,000 royalty from this company.
Omaha Men Receive
Committee's Word
River Fund Larger
The snagging appropriation for the
Missouri river between Omaha and Sioux
City may, after all, not be reduced so
much ' as was once expected. The con
nesMunal committee gave assurance to
the 'Nebraska delegation the other day
that th6 appropriation probably would
le larger than In former years. Former
apropriatlons were $50,000. This " year
$7a,0ii0 was asked, and It was proposed by
the boHrd of engineers to cut it ti $25,0J0.
Commissioner It. II. Manley of the Com
incrc'al club has returned from Wash-
.tnKton, where he attended the meeting
of the National Chamber of Commerce,
and was a member of a large Omaha
delegation that went before the various
(.neressional committees on matters per
taining to the Missouri river snagging
and development and other matters of in
terest to Omaha and Nebraska. Mr.
Alanley says that Congressman Iobeck
has made a request of congress for a sur
vey of the Missouri river between Omaha
and Decatur, and that there Is a good
chance this may be obtained. He points
out that tho objection made to a survey
between Omsha and Florence formerly
was that there was no actual river navi
tion in this section. Now the Omaha
lKcatur tine of traffic is here to make a
definite showing.
WEST HAS NOW TOO MUCH
STYLE TO SUIT HINES
William ' Mliaou" - Htnes of Casper,
Wye., Is doing Omaha for a couple of
(lays, renewing acquaintance with his
old friends. According to Mr. Mines, he
"em to Casper when all there was there
a bunch of sage brush and two Jack
rabbits. Now It is a city of (.000 and
growing rapidly. ' But," asserted Mr.
Mines, "the Casper of today is not the
Casper of old. It's too tame there now
and you have to put on too much style.
I went there thirty-two years ago when
the west had some life. Now It Is Just
society and style and I don"t like it very
well."

RATE HEARING IN PROGRESS
Henry T. Clarke, Jr., chairman
of the state railway commission, de
clared that the business movements
of the Rock. Island railroad In Ne
braska lead him to suspect that
It had deliberately Increased Its
passenger expenses in order to make
a showing in court when seeking n
Increase of passenger rates.
"You cannot defeat a state statute
by any such methods," ho said to
Judge E. P. Holmes, attorney for the
Rock Island.
This occurred at the hearing of
the Rock Island's suit to enjoin the
railway commission from preventing
an Increase of passenger rates on the
Rock Island's lines In Nebraska.
Three Judaea Hear C'aae.
Federnl J mines T. C. Munger of Lin
coln, Walter I. Smith of Council Bluffs
and Martin J. Wale of, Davenport ai
hearing the case.
State Ilailway Commissioners Clarke,
Taylor and Hall and the railway com
mission's rate expert, t d. Towell, were
present. So also was Attorney t5eneral
Willis Itccd.
Among the railroad men present were
I. M. Allen. Hock Island passenger traf
fic agent, Chicago; James Stewart, gen
eral passenger agent of the Rock Island,
Kaunas City, and J. A. C. Kennedy of
Omaha, counsel for tho Missouri Pacific,
who recently won a passenger rate vic
tory for his road.
Mr. Clarke showed that the Hock Isl
and has Increased Its passenger train
service In Nebraska In the last four
years from about 1.100 miles a day to
about l,4Ti0 miles a day, thus showing
decreasing earnings per passengcr-train-mllo.
Frr'arM Service Reduced.
At the same time, ho stated, the road's
freight service has been cut down In
face of Increasing freight earnings.
"The average revenue of the Rock Isl
and per mile of road Is as great as that
of the Burlington and greater than that
of the Northwestern in Nebraska," he
said. '
Showing the effect of the reduction of
passenger rates from 3 cents to 2 cents
per mile in accordance with tho state
law of 1907, he said:
"In 1907 when the railroads received 3
cents a mile for eight months of the year
and 2 cents the rest of the year, the
Rock Island earned $1.03 per train mile.
In 1903, receiving only 2 cents a mile, It
earned JI M per train mile; in 1909 it
earned $1.49 per train mile."
Subsequent to this, he said, the putting
on of new trains in Nebraska by the
Rock Island road had started in the al
leged attempt to cover up Increasing
passenger earnings by artificially in
creased passenger expenses.
Decision Ready in.

Dyspeptics! End
Stomach Misery,

'Tape's Diapepsin" neutral

starts digestion.
Stops any sourness, heartburn,

moments.
The question as to how long you are
going to continue a sufferer from indi
gestion, dysepsia or out-of-order stom
ach is merely a matter of how soon you
begin taking soino ULapeimln.
If your stomach is lacking In digestive
power, why not help the stomach to do
Its work, not with drastic druse, but a re
efiforcenient of digestive agents, such as
are naturally at work in tho stomach. '
People wilh weak stomachs should
take a little IMa pepsin occasionally, and
there will be no more indigestion, no feel

no heartburn, sour risings, nu on stom

Make TSuis Party
' We are going to tell you about a party to be given in Omaha.
You may not be invited and we know you won't feel badly if
you are not but just the same, you will be interested; for if it
were not for you this party would not be held.
For nearly a year the Oma
ha Manufacturers' Associa
tion has been telling you
about Omaha -Made Goods.
The manufacturers asked you
to choose Omaha-Made goods
whenever these equaled in
quality and price the products
of other cities. They told you
that .in this way you could
boost your own town and in
crease your own prosperity.
This must have been just
the reminder a lot of folks
needed, for things certainly
picked up. Factories that had
not been doing half what they
could, had to increase their
outputs; managers had to
have more raw material,
more equipment, MORE EM
PLOYES, and-well
Omaha's factory output in
creased $17,530,522.
So your co-operation in
buying Omaha-Made goods,
in TALKING, USING AND
SERVING Omaha-Made
goods helped to keep $17,530,-
