Company's Plans.

]
! In talking of the plans of the new COM
pany yesterday Mr.. w. S. Reed, the general
manager and who is in charge of the con-
! structiOn OF its line. said that they had
| made a most satisfactory arrangement with
! tho Illinois Central whereby they have Sc
cured the right to cross the latter's tracks
on its right of way between Indian creek
and Avenue A. He said:
"At present our intentions are to continue
our line east from the Illinois Central depot
on Avenue A to Ninth street and will then
either go east on Broadway to Sixth street
which we have q right to do under our fran
chisc or else will go south on Ninth street
to First avenue and then east on First
avenue to Sixth street. On Sixth street
from First avenue to Sixth avenue we shall
lay but single track but from Sixth ave-
nue. TO tho lake we shall put down a double
track
we intend to make a loop at Sixth ave-
nue. by building our track east on the avenue
to Main street, then north on Main street
to Fret avenue and west on First avenue
to counect with tho track again at Sixth
street"
In discussing tho plans OF his company
for next season at Lako Manawa Manager
Reed said that meeting Of the officers
o. tho company was held yesterday after
noon in Omaha when arrangements were
mado for a Ave weeks engagement OF Bell
sted!'s famous band, commencing June Is,
although II found practicable this date may
bo changed to later one. as it may be pos
eiblo that the company will not have its
entire new equipment on the ground at
tho earlier date.
Tracks Taken In.
The pieces OF track laid by the old motor
aIp
cautionary measure TO forestaIl the new
street car company were taken up yesterday
afternoon by q force OF the motor COM
pany's men under the supervision Of Alder
man Casper, chairman of the committee on
streets and alleys, and Street Supervisor
Avery. The paving blocks torn up by the
company were also replaced.
Although the work was done by the men
OF the motor company, they were tenn
porarily employed by the city and will be
paid by 1t and later the motor company
will refund the money to the city. This
method was adopted in order to avoid
clashng with the njunctions issued by the
courts against the motor company restrain
ing it from doing any work on its second
track on Main street, The places where
the portions OF tracks were laid were in a
dangerous condition and in order to pre-
vent accidents the city decided to do the
work itself
Later in the afternoon General Manager
Dlmmock served notice on the city that he
would be pleased to have the proper ofh-
cials determine the cost OF paving on Main
street that the company would have to pay
before 1t could lay its second track, This
is taken to imply that the motor company
intends at once to lay its second track

Run Cars This Winter.

Manager w. S. Reed stated yesterday that
the company expected to run cars between
the Illinois Central depot and Omaha this
winter but did not figure on having the
Manawa line in operation before next May.
Until the company's power house in East
Omaha is completed the new line will be
furnished with power by the Omaha Street
Railway company. For the present the COM
pany will use the cars and motors and other
equipment OF the East Omaha Street Rail-
way company. The equipment which has
been ordered for the new line is not ex-
pected to reach here before next sprinlp or
early summer
Work on the company's new buildings in
East Omaha is progressing as rapidly as
possible and the barn is now being
placed under roof. This building is quite a
large structure, being 175X75 feet OF pressed
brick, with stone trimmings. 1t will have
a capacity for the housing of eighteen large
cars and six of the smaller size. The repair
and paint shop will be built at the rear of
the car barn. This will be frame structure
S5X135 feet in dimensions and covered with
corrugated iron. The walls of the power
house are up about half way and Manager
Reed hopes to get 1t under roof before the
bad weather sets in. This building is 70X100
feet and with the car barn is located at the
lOOL VI LOCusI street. ne DOlleTS LOT LDe
power house are already on the ground
and will be placed in position next week.
The machinery, Manager Reed says, will
all be installed by May, when the company S
trains will be run by power furnished from
it's own house.
From East Omaha to the Illinois Central
depot at Broadway and Twelfth street the
new line has clear sailing and no tracks of
other roads to cross. Even if the company
wished to extend its line further than this
point 1t would be impossible to do so for the
present, as there necessarily must be more
or less delay in procuring the necessary
frogs and crossings to be laid where the
new line will cross other tracks. Measure
ments have to be made for these crossings
and the order placed with the Cleveland
Frog and Crossing company, whose repre-
sentative has been in the city for several
days. He completed the taking of the
measurements yesterday afternoon and last
night returned to Cleveland with the order

resumption on the old dreadful scale
even within the homes-of tho detesta-
bic scourge. This is no mere conceit
lit is a statement that stands for a
fully tested and demonstrated fact.
Though the sparrows do not eat the
worms that the other birds eat, it is
likely that the sparrows consume in
our cities fifty times as many eggs,
And the sparrows are always on hand
and ever at it. The reproductive pow
er of the insect is such that but for
this we would soon again be in the
midst of caterpillar plague"
Now then, after this defense of com
monty supposed nuisance we are pre-
pared to extend the English sparrow

so long as he does not drive away the
song birds OF the fields and woodlands.

"The Lehr-W Williams Comedy Com
