Bear drive is all that can be said of
stocks under the head of Smelter and
it brought out some more liquidation
which was supposed to be over, but
the idea is that the market is near
bottom, if not there. and ought to at
least rally some.

The smelling works is asking the city
council that the Union Pacific be permitted
to place three tracks al ng Eighth street
from Webster to Seward street, to accom-
modate the cars OF ore which daily arrive
for the shelters. These cars were formerly
handled on the tracks in the Union Pacific
shop yards, but these tracks have been
torn away to make room for the $4,000
improvements which are being made at the
shops The smelter receives from sixty
Ave 10 seventy-hve cars OF ore per day
and this Is now being handled on tracks
near Cut-oh lake because OF lack OF tracks
nearer the smelteTs.
The mayer OF the smelters argues that
Eighth street is not used at present that it
is 100 feet vide. and he is not. asking to
have It close,' but simply that the use OF
thirty-four feet OF the hundred be given
for tracks for me handling Of the ore for

is a mudhole at pi "sent, and in some parts

COST OF The DOUBLE SHIFT
Business Nan Estimates Minimum Of
Seventy Thousand Dollars.
AFRAID OF INCREASING INSURANCE RATES
Eject of Jeeder It'll Now in Hands
of Governor Scarcely Can BE
FOretOId Just at
Present.

Until II is known what charter Limitation
the Legislature will place on the Omaha
fire department fund, only speculative de-
auctions may be made as to the effects
Of the Leeder double shift bill, should It
become operative. The bill went to the
governor Friday.
Using as a basis the present force of the
fire department, and reducing that force
from IA men to 101 men. the double shift
system would entail an additional expense
Of about $4,000 year when the system
had been running a few years.
The expense Of the double-shift system,
figuring on the present scale OF wages,
would increase each six months for three
years, for the reason that drivers, pipemen
and truckmen now begin at $50 per month
and are raised S every six months until a
monthly salary of $50 is reached. These
men constitute nearly two-thirds of the
department. This estimate is based on the
present force and without considering the
|, houses at Eleventh and Jackson and
Twenty-seventh and Jones' both Of which
places have apparatus, but there. are no
men TO operate these houses. Another
house is being erected at Twenty-first and
Lake streets virtually making three more
houses to he considered in figuring the
extra cost Of the double-shift system.
lowed 30 per cent of $4,000, the regular
appropriation of $4,000 having been re-
duced at the time of the $4,000 cut In the
general levy funds.
Business men generally are opposed to
placing the fire department on a footing
that will affect insurance rates, and It was
figured Saturday morning by one of them
that to maintain the fire department on
anything like a safe basis with the double
shift system would entail a minimum added
expense of $4,000 a year.
The flremen themselves feel elated over
the status of their bill. Although they now
receive a total of seventy-two days year
for themselves, they have felt that too
much OF a hreman's life is spent In the
fire house. Chief Salter said It made no
personal difference to him which system
was adopted, but he could not see that the
double shift system would in any way ben
eft the fire fighting force of Omaha as a
department.
