At the Nebraska metropolis next morning
there was delegation of railway men on mana
to exhibit the Union Pacific's new Gasolene
motor cars which promise To- revolutionize local
trafic across the plains. II was there too tha'

pictures taken. The score was 100 groups by
the end of the trip. and they were combined in
souvenir booklets for all who can bear seeing

II was we'll in the afternoon OF the second day

among the newspaper men. Mr.. Lomax, ever

covered that the newsgatherers wanted their
afternoon papers The trains telegrapher got
busy with the nearest news centre. and the re-
suit OF his cleaning was speedily transcribed ION
the mimeogra phi which is carried in the baggage
car Of the limited. Soon every one had a copy
of the first afternoon paper ever issued on that
stretch OF prairie.
The party found the fine trains equipment
lacking only one thing-poker chips: and as the
lO-cent limit game advanced with matches as
counters. the demand for chips grew. The play

HoNEYCOMBED WITH POLITICS.

The cause Of such Grass Incompetence In the
Water Department Of this city is that II is
honeycombed with politics. No other part Of
the city government has been so subverted by
Tammany. Until January j of this year the
three men at its head John T. Oakley.
Commissioner, salary $500; Frank J. Goodwin.
Deputy Commissioner $1,000. and Joseph f.
Prendergast secretary, $1,000. All three are

LOCATION OF GATES A SECRET.

Another reason for the gross ineff1ciency OF
the repair or "shut-ofr' gangs Is the habit OF
certain foremen and engineers OF keeping their
associates in ignorance OF where the mains and
the gates are. They have maps at the repair
shops. but these maps are about as Instructive
as the hieroglyphics on an Egyptian obelisk TO
any except the instructed. The purpose of
such secretfvenesS is only another phase OF the
political Generalization Of the department A
foreman knows he will not lose his job so long
as he alone understands how to check break.
At the time OF the Park-ave. break the Water
Department employees who hunted venly for
the water gate freely confessed that Boss

the case of Kootenai county vs.. Louis
T. Dittmore. The action YVES brought
Dy the county to recover alleged
money to be illegally paid Dittmore

complaint. The supreme court re-
versed judgment and remands the
case for trial. 1t says previous deci-
sions in certain other cases in which
it was held that pre- edure is by an
appeal from the action of the board,
does not apply in this case, as the
statute does not contemplate tat the
county shall appeal from the action

FOR MILWAUKEE,

for franchise for right of way
through the city. 1t has been known
for some time that the road was max,
ing, or would make, an attepmt to
secure line through Fourth Of July
canyon with the intention OF tappiag
the city either directly by the main
line or a branch, Two surveys have
been made through the canyon, one
Of these being for the Spokane-Wal-
lace Interstate Electric company,
which will construct a line in the
spring connecting those cities and
passing through Occur d'Alene. The
other is supposed to be- that of the
milwaukee road and from reports re-
ceived they will in all probability use
this route or run branch line up
the west side Of the lake, There will
be a railway line on the west side Of
the lake but no definite information
can be had as 10 who Is behind the
survey. The work Of grading on the
st. Joe and in other portions Of the
country has been ordered suspended by
the comany and say that Spokane aud
