Union Pacific saIe.

OMAHA. Oct. Is. Speculation in local
railway circles is very animated at
present over the Union Pacific sale
which will occur one week from tomor-
row. One element asserts that there II
a surprise In store for the reorganiza-
ton committee and that Il will come In
the form OF strong opposition when the
time for bidding comes. II is said that
the competition will come from the
Russell sage syndicate, which Is be-
lieyed 10 be really the Huntington
crowd, who are anxious 10 get the road
10 run In connection with the Southern
Pacific. tits further said that the bid.
ding will probably be so spirited that
the price brought win be much In ex-
cess Of what Is expected. IL is declared
that II the Sage people get the road
they will probably build new line to
Chicago and thus control the situation
from the city through to the coast. II
Ia further said that II the Vanderbilts
fail TO get the line II will mean the In
eyitable extension of the Western lin,
of the Northwestern which now reach
es far into Wyoming through to The
East.

thereof is borne by the state, large

NO HELP FOR THE LITTLE BIRDS

Until Legislatures Come Right Out and
Say What They Mean.
Boston, Aug. 1.-THE famous law
which was intended TO prohibit the
wearing Of feathers or bodies Of birds
for ornamental purposes in Massa-
chusetts has been interpreted by At
torney General Knowlton in such a way
that there is practically no prohibition
a. all. In an exhaustive paper he has
given the opinion that the bird law does
not prohibit the bringing OF birds into
the state.
The attorney general says: II am OF
the opinion that the statute IS not TO be
construed as prohibiting the having in
possession or the wearing Of the body or
feathers OF birds taken or killed without
the commonwealth.
New York was especially interested in
this matter because many of the feath-
ers used by the local mllliners are pro-
cured through New York. 1t was stat
ed al the time of the passage of the
act that the measure was an honest and
earnest attempt TO stop the killing OF
birds for Ornamental purposes ana to
discourage the wearing of feathers on
bonnets As Mr.. Knowlton's opinion
practically removes such restriction,
those VINO have been earnest in fight
ing for the cause OF the birds believe the
legislatures of the state will not let the
matter rest.
