Because Councilman OBrien will be In

MORE BUSINESS, MORE CLERKS
Increase in Quantity of Mail Trans
mitted Makes it Necessary
to Enlarge Force.

Owing to the rapid increase in the guam
it has become necessary materially to in
crease the number OF postal railway clerks
operating from Omaha and the following
additions to the force were announced Fri
day morning by Chief Clerk Shearer of the
Omaha division:
Clerks between Omaha and Cheyenne, on
the Union Pacific: H. f. Hooper, CIarks,
Neb.; H. B. Goldsmith, Dover, Wyoming;
+. a. Peterson, Cheyenne, Wyo.; j. b. Cox,
Sutherland, Neb.; c. N. Christensen, Elba,
Neb.
Clerks between Omaha and Bonesteel,
s. D., on the Northwestern: T. o. Fritcholl,
Celia, Neb.; George F. Budweiser, Woon-
socket, S. d.
Register transfer clerks at Omaha: f. H.
Davis, Red Oak, Ia; J. H. Robertson and
r. G. Roberts, Omaha. These latter APP
pointments are made to facilitate the trans
fer of registered mail at the depots here
from train to train and thus avoid the de-
lay that has hitherto prevailed in the trans
fer of registered mail which formerly had
to be brought up to the Omaha postofice
and go through the process of transfer
there. The intention of the Postofflce de-
partment is to combine safety with speed
In the handling of registered mail and the
appointment of the registry transfer clerks
has been the result.
The new clerks will go on duty Saturday,

PEACHES WILL NOT BE CHEAP
Crop Scarce Except in California and
There Prices Are Put
Way Up.

Peaches will not be cheap this season."
said Charles Benson, manager for Streight
& Co., for the reason that they are
scarce everywhere except in California, and
the growers there have put up their prices
Peaches grown in Colorado and Utah are
bringing as much on the trees this season
as they did last season in the markets. In
Chicago last week gross prunes sold for 81
per crate and peaches for Sl.40, which is the
highest price ever paid in Chicago. Pears
are 1925 per crate. Money is pouring out
to the California growers as never before,
because the eastern fruit jobbers have been
buying all of their fruit crops at top prices.
An instance which shows the demand for
peaches happened last week, when a car
of peaches bought for 50 cents per crate
was rejected at Lincoln. The car was for
warded to Philadelphia, where it Melted
the shipper 40 cents more than If the
peaches had been accepted at Lincoln.

assault and battery, was discharged in

familiar with the situation, however, he
has changed his mind and now thinks that
Tenth street should be the dividing line

demands for tracks TO the property east Of
Thirteenth street.

Offices during the last two years and one

official. 1T costs money to build these
tracks and I'm return we render gratuitous
service for business which we would have
just as good a chance to get anyway. Jack

houses anyway and the owners asked us
so perslstently TO build these tracks that
we thought we would accommodate them

smith Agrees with MOhIer.
General Manager Smith of the street rail-
way company said
Il agree with Mr. Mohler that the line
should be drawn at Tenth street and that
the railroads should not be permitted to
build tracks across. We haul over loo cars
per day to and from the depots and they
carry thousands of people who would be
subjected to delays and danger from rail-
road crossings. There is plenty of property
suitable for jobbing purposes north of
Douglas which is worse than useless now,
and which would make cheap sites for job
bling houses and would be easily accessible
TO the railroads"
Some time ago the Northwestern was
granted permission to lay track up the
alley between Farnam and Douglas streets
and it is thought the business on this track
will force the Union Pacific soon to vacate
the old headquarters building and to build
a location suitable for the offices of the
Overland system.
