TWENTY NEW MOTOR CARS.
Order Comes from East 10 the Union
Pacific in Omaha. ,
GO ON THE MARKET FOR ADVERTISING
Hartman Decides This VIII he the
Best Way to Exploit the vir-
tues of McKeen's
Car.

The McKten motor car builders at the
Union Pacific shops in Omaha are about
to begin on an order for twenty of these
new cars. This order has been received
from the east and must be filed as soon
as possible 1t is understood the cars will
be well distributed over the country, more
for advertising purposes than anything
else. While the motor car leaped into the
front rank of popularity at the outset, and
Mr.. Hartman has thrown the weight of his
personal influence behind IT, II is tacitly
admitted that the ingenious and stimulating
effect OF advertising-that greatest of al
motive powers in the world OF commerce
Is needed to put this new enterprise where
1t belongs before the public eye, and so
Mr. Hartman has decided no better means
OF advertising is possible than the car
itself -a
These cars have been turned out OF the
local shops by numbers and when this
gigantic order came the workmen were en-
gagged on No. s. The seven cars in service
are scattered over the Hartman lines in
various parts of the country The one sent
east has aroused riot OF enthusiasm and
1t is believed others will be as eagerly
received there as rapidly as they can be
manufactured
New Cars for New Road.
The Omaha. Lincoln q Beatrice road has
bought from the St. Louis Car company a
twenty-foot single-truck box car and a
thirty-foot doubIe-truck box car, both
equipped with Westinghouse motors. 1t is
said the same company is In the market
for other equipment
The reduction OF rates by western roads
in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming has re-
suited in reduction in all rates from
points east Of the Missouri river to Denver
and Colorado Springs of IS per cent.
Three deeds conveying right-of-way TO
the Omaha, Lincoln & Beatrice railway
were hied in the register of deeds office
tuesday morning. The property is con-
veyed by Thomas Wheaton the Byron
Reed company and the Omaha Safe De-
/ post and Trust company, and is located
near South Omaha along the Omaha &
North Platte right-of-way. The considera-
ton named in each deed was nominal.
