harmony was restored and the engineers
got on working basis again
After this interruption another occurred
caused by the death of a son OF Appraiser
Mead who had been staying at Los An
geles in hopes of lettering a delicate con-
dition of health. The son died and Prof
Mead had to go to California and spend
considerable time IN connection with the
bereavement.
Main Points Are Settled.
According to the reports that have
reached Omaha the appraisers have settled
upon the value Of the distributing part Of
the plant, but are still confronted by the
vexed question of the riprapplng at the
Florence pumping station. AS the plan fol-
lowed by the appraisers is to fix value
based upon the cost of replacing the water
works and expert engineers have testified
that much money, time and material was
thrown away on the river protection at
Florence, the point is one that has always
occupied leading place in the controversy.
The division of the valuation in accord
ance with the parts in South Omaha, Dun
dee, Florence. East Omaha. etc. as opposed
TO Omaha, has not been made, but it is
not thought any stumbling blocks Of mo-
ment will be found in the process.
Whether the appraisers will hold their
final meeting and complete their report in
Omaha or will visit the city and go east
again to finish has not been determined.
Appeals Set for Hearing.
The appeals in the water meter rate and
contempt cases are set for argument be-
fore the United States circuit court of
appeals at st. Paul May 10. and Attorneys

THE SOUTHERN ROUTE THREATENED.
With the recent change in control of
the Illinois Central there remain only
two Independent roads connecting the
middle west states with the gulf; the
Kansas City Southern, with a total
mileage Of S27 miles, and the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas, with 3,O4S
miles. The competitive benefits of the
new southern route, which have been
so important to western producers and
from which so much more has been
hoped for the future, thus hang on a
very slender thread, for these two still
independent roads are small and weak
and surrounded by powerful systems
dominated by essentially hostile inter.
est.
So long as the strong Illinois Cen
trail company remained independent OF
east and west financial and transporta-
ton interests there was hopeful basis
for rapid extension of me benefits of
the shorter and less costly carriage
| southwark to salt water. All pretence,
however, that II will be operated as
heretofore, now that control has
PASSED to dominant influences in the
old east and west roads, is simply pre-
posterous, and designed only to blind
the public to the profound change that
has occurred. being nothing less than
a tendency to cancel instead of realiz-
ing the distinctive economies OF the
southern route, 50 far as that road IL
! concerned.
There are, indeed, already multiply.
ing rumors and circumstances gravely
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1906-12-09

suggestive of the possibility, II not the
probability, that the remaining two
small Independent roads south may in
like manner soon be subordinated to
the old eastern route. The motive as
well as the power to bring this about
is enhanced by the fate of the Illinois
Central.
Essential competition for the grain
and other products Of the middle west
by the southern route is of course alb
solutely dependent upon its being &C.
cupied by Independent roads, whose
paramount interest it is that such
freights should be carried south in
stead Of east, which therefore would
bid for them to the limit of profitable
carriage, such limit having been dem
onstrated to be far below that over
the eastern route. The possible de-
struction of vital competition by the
new south route cannot but be re-
garded as one of the most ominous
transportation contingencies with
which the west has been confronted in
a long time.

The railroad campaign against tax
alton in Nebraska is exciting very little
notice now. The vexatious delay
caused by the resistance of the Bur
lington and Union Pacific companies
against the collection of taxes levied
by the state and counties against their
lines has been discounted because Of
its long continuance. The people are
assured that sooner or later the taxes
will have to be paid, and in the mean
time the contumacy oil the corpora
tons is merely adding to the determi-
nation Of the people of the state TO
control their own affairs. If the rail-
roads are really seeking favor at the
hands of the lawmakers of the state,
they are going about it in very inept
manner.
