Omaha daily bee., 1895-12-01

Seen by AN Outsider.

Ray Raymond, the railroad man of the
Salt Lake Herald, made the trip from Chi
cago to Ogden on the first run of the Over
land Limited" He stopped in Omaha long
enough to inspect the passenger depot facili-
ties and this Is what he said about them:
While in Omaha recently the Herald man
made endeavor to size up the actual situa-
ton On union dspot matters, and to that end
looked over the ground in person as wsll as
met and talked with people prominent on one
side or other of the controversy.
Boiled down to a minimum, there is one
fact apparent to all, i. e., the site on Ninth
and Farnam streets is the logical sequence
OF Omaha's growth and not of the machina-
lions of men or the different roads inter-
ested in the union depot matter. Fifteen
years ago the building of a union depot sta
ton on the site of the long, low shed an
swering such purposes, would not have
aroused opposition, as the Omaha of then is
not the Omaha Of today-who could then
have turned the pages Of futurity and with
prophetic eye looked upon what now consti-
tutes that great and thriving city. In the
interim, the march Of progress has more
than kept pace with the cycles Of time in all
concerning the growth of the city, and to
advance the claims that the proposed great
union depot should be built on a site con-
tiguous as may be to the business and COM
mercial center, Is simply acknowledging the
laws Of comercial supremacy and the voice
Of the people.
true, many lHOusdHuS OF uOlldTS nave Deen
expended already upon a passenger building
down in the hole, work on that having ceased
only a couple Of years ago, but the expendi-
ture of such a sum is in no way proof against
latter day methods and arguments for the
uptown site.
1t is also true that property owners ad-
jacent to the 'low lands" OF the old and
primitive site are strongly adverse to the
change, but such sentiment is selfish and
based on the probable fhuctuation of prop
artU vplpng-it'g en- thu ruunrld pvarf
Another feature is the hostility shown
by the street railway coinpanies-they are
in the business OF hauling passengers, and
are prone to view things solely through
dividend glasses-corporative interests usu-
ally do.
A fair and impartial summary of the case
10 found In saying that Omaha as a whole
demands one grand union depot, and it
should be erected at the foot of Farnam
street. All the different interests should
come together on so plain and simple a
proposition, and the good work go on to
speedy completion. Greater Omaha will
benefit all proportionately.
