THE AFTERMATH
SIGHTS AND INCIDENT WHICH
FOLLOWED THE FIRE
A Dismal Picture of the Wreckage and
Waste in Fires Path

away from the noise Of the trampling
hundreds that pour continuously down
Market street, no sound is heard but
the buzzard-like reminder of the holo-
caust that has ruined the greatest the
noisiest, the busiest, the most beauti-
full city on the shores OF the Pacfic
Ocean.
Out at Portsmouth Square some
goods and schattels have been gath.
cred and piled around the Stevenson
monument, where they are guarded
night and day by police and soldiers.
The pawn shops that once faced the
square On the Kearney street side
have been a rich field for the search
ers for relics. Some of them were
not erti~a}r @~nsumed and in the ash
es may be E1u1d gold and silver orna-
ments, and all sorts of valuable re-
mains.
Four Cinnamon walked along the
ruins of kearney street one evening
and one continued to dart from the
group into the ruins and come back
smuggling something beneath his
blouse At last he was seen by one
of the guards, who halted the group
and demnaded that they walk toward
him for pyanSp afiop little
Chink started to run. whereupon the
guard pulled out a large revolver
and fired, striking the Chinaman on
the shoulder. He dropped to the
ground and was grabbed and jerked
to his feet and dragged to a standing
position and he. with the other three
was marched to the guard house.
There, with arms extended and quak-
ing in every limb, the rough guards
man jerked their bloses open, and
found all manner of valuable loot
concealed in their flowing garments.
Though the little Chinaman was badly
WOuUueu ana SunSTluS lcIItDie pain,
he was shackled to his three brethren
and bundled into the wagon and sent
off to jail, his companions giving him
what they understood to be first aid
to the injured. That he was not
instantly killed was due simply to
the bad aim Of the special officer
that fired at him.

through the newspapers the legal PROPOSE
lions taken up by Mr.. Woodbury., but 1t
would appear to me that If he is so conf
dent of the right of the company TO re-
cover the 1925, $3.50 from the city, under
the appraisement of two engineers, he need
not worry about any action the board has
taken or may take in the future. If that
appraisement is valid and binding, any ac-
ton of the board, OF course, could not af-
feet the water company's rights in the
matter.
why Not Dismiss the Suit.
at is peculiar that If they have such
perfect system of water works and 1t is
of so much greater value than the two ap-
praisers fixed, that that company should
be so anxious to compel the city to pay
the S. 263, 295.49. If this plant is worth
more than the amount fixed by the two
engineers, why doesn't he accept the
rescission and dismiss the suit to compel
the city to buy the works? AS I under
stand, the Water board, 1t is ready at any
time to consent that any additions neces-
sary to supply Omaha with water, may
be made, and that the cost thereof may
be repaid If a purchase is completed. But
to pay not only the cost, but interest
thereon, made necessary by the increased
demand of South Omaha, is asking too
much.
THE Water board does not desire to
purchase the works Of this company for
less than a fair valuation, but 1t does
mean to put itself in such shape, II posi-
BILE, that the city will not be held up by
the Omaha Water company, or any re-
organization board which controls the
same. In one Of Mr.. Woodbury's previous
letters he stated the bill to compel the
city to purchase the works at the ep-
praised valuation was prepared and ex-
pected TO be filed If the appraisement went
above 4OOO,0OO from which it seems to
be fairly inferred that the company was
prepared to sell the works and to force

That the manufactured products Of the

the fact revealed by figures compiled by

Members of the Omaha Water board
said they came up smiling after reading the

of the Omaha Water company, under date
of December H. That communication, the
members said, will not change their course
of going ahead and acquiring a municipal

the purchase thereof II the appraisement
was anything substantially above $4,000,OO0.
Some Fiscal Textures.
''when we commenced this appraisement,
the bonds Of the company, which amounted
to about $4,60O,OOO bearing per cent inter-
est, upon which default had never been
made, could have been bought on the mar
ket for about 81, 100000, and this, to the ordi-
nary business man, would indicate about
the value put on the plant by the bond
holders, who are the real owners Of this
plant. The idea that this plant is worth
any such sum as 100000 seems to rest
with the reorganization committee, whose
salary and influence in the matter depends
on maintaining control Of this plant and
prolonging litigation.
Again, from the most accurate informa-
ton / can obtain, the Omaha water plant
has never paid above per cent on 100000,
and as per cent would be a fair amount to
set aside for reduplcadons it would ap-
pear that, estimated by business methods,
the value of this plant ought not greatly to
exceed 100000.
whenever Mr.. Woodbury. desires in good
faith TO present any reasonable proposition
to the water board for action, rather than
for publication, 1 can assure him that the
board will meet with him at any time and
act upon the same as one business man
would deal with another"
Milton T. Barlow, chairman of the Water
board, said he failed to find any new phase
OF the water situation touched on in the
recent letter Of President Woodbury., and
said the letter would not have the slightest
effect on the present plan Of action of the
Water board. Mr.. Barlow said there would
be no special meeting Of the board, which
would pursue the even tenor of its way.
