UNION PACIFIC'S NEW LINES
Total of Seven Hundred Miles Of
Track VIII He Laid
This Year.

In addition to the new work already
mapped out, the Union Pacific during the
year 1906, will relay $50 miles OF main line
between Council Bluffs and Green River
with Underground steel rails. II will lay
In addition TO this, on new lines and
branches. SA miles, or a total of 7Ol miles
The magnitude of this work Is best ex-
planned by stating that IL i'm a straight line
IL would build a track from Chicago to a
point nearly fifty miles west of Grand
Island
This is in addition to the double track
work which is being done in Wyoming
The work on the Lane Cut on is progress
Ing as we'll as was expected and the hills
are being cut away and placed in the heavy
nils, which the work requires.
A large force of men is at work on the
line from North Platte to Northport and
this work is being pushed as fast as pos
sble. The Burlington is said to have aban-
doned its work on the line between North
Platte and Bridgeport.
The contractors also are pushing the work
on the line from Central City to Stroms-
burg, and as no heavy grades will be met,
this work should soon be finished. General
Manager Mohler drove over this new route
last week and reported the work pro-
crossing nicely,

GOULD SHOPS ON POND LOTS
Missouri Pacific, 1t IL Said, viii Build
on the Old Mercer
Property.

Rumors are being persistently circulated,
which purport to come from authoritative
sources, that the Missouri Pacific Railroad
company is in possession of the Mercer
pond lots at Forty-third and lizard streets
and will build shops there. DIR. Mercer dis
posed of the property several months ago
to D. V. sholes. Mr.. ,sholes will not say
what the purchase was for and declines to
name the man for whom he secured it.
1t is regarded as entirely probable that
the Missouri Pacific will build shops in
Omaha. on account of the removal Of d.
vision headquarters from Atchison to this
city increasing the Importance Of Omaha
as a Missouri Pacific point. The Belt Line
skirts the pond lots on the west and the
property would make good place for the
shops. 1t is very low and would have to
be filled in. At present IL is an eyesore to
the neighborhood and the sidewalks along
its borders are in an execrable condition.

PASS SYSTEM At CITY HALE
Evil that il 80 Deeply Bntrenohed as to Be
Hard to UprOOt
CONFESSION OF RETIRING COUNCILMAN
says Railroads should shut on on IL,
for Constituents VIII Not
Cesse Demands Any
other way.

THE pass evil so far as city councilmen
and other city officers are concerned cannot
be exaggerated said one Of the outgoing
councilmen. 1T seems to me that during
my term when / was not talking municipal
business with people in their presence or
over the telephone l have been taking APP
pications for railroad passes from con-
stituents. 1t has been the custom for city
officers TO use their influence with the rail-
ways to obtain these passes and the custom
has been worked to death Some Of the
councilmen have asked railroad officers TO
shut on on the deal, so hard has the prac-
tce been worked.
During the last administration the
charge has been made repeatedly that at
least one councilman not only procured lots
OF transportation for his friends and him
self, but actually got passes and sold them
TO scalpers, netting a clear profit for him
self by every transaction Of the kind.
Bound TO bring Results.
Say what you will, this pass business
means that the councilmen can't help but
treat the railroads with more or less
graciousness ana leniency every time they
want anything from the city. The prac-
tice is mot confined to the council. 1t ex-
tends to other departments as well, and /
know OF one in particular that is actually
stuffed with blank transportation that can
be used any old way the department sees
mt. / doubt II there is "a department, Of
icer or employee of the city who has not
received free transportation from the rail
roads 1t does net take much discernment
or reasoning to figure out what It means,
for the railroads do not give away free
rides without expecting something in re-
turn.
The talk about the anti-pass question
being injected into the new administration
as leading issue started as a joke. but IL
has developed into something more seri-
Gus. Several of the councilmen who will
take their seats Monday say they are go
ing to uproot the practice. They may sue
cred, but II they do they are going to
have mighty hard shedding. The city hall
hes been a mecca for the pass fiends for
SO long that it will take resolution and
effort to educate the public to new view
Getting a pass for a constituent is an
swfuily nice way to make a firm friend
and booster out of him.

n The FIELD OF SPORTS
A BATTLE FOR
SECOND PLACE

From the present outlook the Par
dees and Chesebroughs will play a
double header this Saturday. The
Pardee team is strongly in favor of
this, and it only remains for the
Chesebroughs to say the word. The
game to be played off is that of June
16, on which day it rained. 1t is
understood that the games this Sat
urday will be played on the Pardee
diamond, although information was
given out to the contrary.
The Shelters and the Coppers will
also battle on the Guggies' diamond,
and the usual crowd of rooters and
fans are sure to be present to watch
the mighty struggle for second place.
If the Coppers win they will be
tied fifth the Guggies, and both teams
will stand second on the list. While
if the Guggies win the Pardees may
have to hustle to keep the lead.

HAS
MANY CHANGES

The football rules committee,
which has completed the revision of
the rules, has shortened the length of
the game by ten minutes, thirty min
ties being now allottedto each half.
A CAPTAIN may ask for time thrice
during a half without penalty.
Two lines of scrimmage, one of
each team, have been provided for by
the alteration. The line for each side
is an imaginary line parallel to the
goal line, and passing through that
point of the ball nearest the sides
own goal line.
The two teams will then be separ-
ated by the length of the ball, which
must be placed with it's long axis at
right angles to the line of scrimmage.
The hands and feet of a player on the
line must be up to within a foot of it,
or a foot and the opposite hand.
A player attempting a fair catch
must raise his hand above his head
as a signal of his intention.
A down will be counted when
any portion of a runners person ex-
cept his hands or feet touches the
ground, when he is in the grasp OF
his opponent, and also when the bal
goes over the goal line on a kick
which has struck the ground in the
field of play and from a forward pass,
Ten yards must now be gained in the
downs instead of five. This will off
set mass play.
Hurting is forbidden, so that there
will be no jumping over opponent
and interference with the man. Snap
ping the ball back is also prohibited.
The most radical change made is
the Introduction of the forward pass,
one to be allowed to each scrimmage,
provided it be made by a player who
was behind the line when the ball
was put in play.
The rules against front play have
taken a broader sweep, and severe
penalties are provided for kneeling,
kicking, striking with the fist and
such things. Tackling below the knee
is another of the punishable offences.
A tackler, however, may slide down
from above the knee.
Speaking generally, punishment
has been provided for all unnecessary
roughness and unsportsmanlike con
duct.

BASEBALL ASSOCIATION
WILL NOT BACK TEAM.

The series planned to be played by
the amateur Plainfield team with the
West Ends, of Somerville, under the
direction of the Plainfield baseball
association, is off. The officers of the
association do not think it wise to
take any part in baseball matters this
season at least. This opinion was ex-
pressed by Treasurer Charles Run
yon Tuesday night in a conference
with promoters of the amateur team.
AS a result it has been decided not
to arrange a series with Somerville
in the name of the Plainfield Baseball
Association, but the local amateur
team, which has been formed, will
play Independently. A proposition is
now before the Somerville association
to play the locals at Somerville, Sat
urday. 1t is being seriously consid-
cred, and definite action will be taken
at a meeting in tina city tonight.

that the game raj played at Frank
