AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Range Cattle Question is Now Up for
Serious Attention.
RUN MAY BE LATE IN STARTING
Shipments Likely to BE Light Until
Last of August or First of Sep
TENDER Unless Prices Are
Tempting.
RUN MAY BE LATE IN STARTING

From all indications the run OF range
cattle will be later this year than usual.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the range grass was soft at the start on
account of frequent rains. Now that the
grass is curing nicely and herds are doing
well ranchmen do not want to ship. Ad-
vices from the ranges received at the stock
yards yesterday varied. Some were to the
effect that shippers would hold on as long
as they could and the cattle continued to
fatten on the cured grass. These reports
make it evident that the heavy shipments
of range stun will not commence before
the middle of September and will run up
well into October. Still other advices are
to the effect that shipments will commence
the latter part OF this month and continue
all through September. At the present time
ranchmen are busy putting away hay, and
just as long as their herds are doing nicely
shipments will not be made. Then there
is another point TO be considered and that
is the market. great many ranchmen,
when they are ready TO ship, get together
and send In a few loads to feel the mar
ket. II 1t is satisfactory the shipments
are rapid II not stock is held back until
prices reach the point ranchmen consider
about right. One well known old-timer
at the yards said last evening that just
as long the cattle are fattening on the
range grass shipments need not be ex-
pected unless the price is right. Big runs
are expected when the season opens.
City Council Meeting.
An adjourned meeting of the city coun-
ell was held last night and the ordinances
pertaining to Union Pacific improvements
were given a second reading after having
been favorably reported on by the judiciary
committee. These ordinances will come up
for final passage next Monday night and
will most likely be passed, as the city
officials seem to favor the idea of a new
passenger station and a freight depot. By
the making of these improvements South
Omaha will secure a fine brick passenger
station and a much needed freight depot
