Looks Like q Coal Famine.

Each day the situation grows more
serious as far as the securing OF a coal
supply for Nevada the coming winter
is concerned and it now looks as If the
Hartman lines intend to carry out q
program for forcing a fuel famine in
this and other intermountain States.
The Short Line has issued nm edict
that the people OF Nevada must look
to California tor their winters coal
supply, but fails to offer any measure
Of relief by making a reduction in
freight rates from San Francisco to
points in this States, which are now
considerably higher than the rates
from Utah aud Wyoming points. Ac-
tion by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to force Hartman to reduce
the rate on coal shipped from San
Francisco seems to be the only thing
which will avert the threatened fuel
famine. The matter has been brought
TO the attention of the Commission
and there is a possibility of relief from
that source.
The stand taken by the railroad
company is stated in a letter from E,
w. Clapp, the Southern Pacific freight
and passenger agent in Reno, to Sec.
rotary Mcbride Of the Nevada Com.
mercial League. The latter had writ.
ten to Mr.. Clapp regarding the suf'
fciency CT railroad equipment fol
handling the coal supply and received
the following reply:
"From Investigations made by thi,
Office, l understand the current price,

mand for this commodity that IL il

CORNER SALOON
ENTERED


M. M. Yirt's saloon, the Corner, was
again entered by burglars during the
early hours OF last Sunday morning.
The burglars gained their entrance
through the front door by breaking
the lock. After getting into the
building, work a Immediately cent
cred On the safe, and that they came
prepared to get into the safe at all
hazards was evidenced from the fact
that they left all their tools by the
safe, consisting OF two carpenters
chisels, q brace and a large sledge
hammer. 1t probably did not take
them long to get into the safe, as the
knob was broken off from the combi-
nation, then their next move wal to
bore out the spindle, thereby letting
down the combination disc allowing
the bolts Of the door to be drawn back
when the safe was easily opened.
Mike does not know exactly how
much coin was in the safe. To be
sure, the burglars did not want to
leave anything in the safe, and SO
took everything, consisting of the
coin, jewelry, papers, and a great
many rare and valuable coins. In
the safe there was a sack consisting of
$40 Or $3.50 in silver and also con-
siderable money in a box.
The cash register and slot machines
were not molested.
The burglars made their exit
through the back door by prying the
door open with some OF the tools they
used on the safe.
A number OF suspicious looking
characters were in town for a few
days last week and 1t is more than
probable that some of this gang COM
mitted the robbery.
They were men who evidently tn
derstood their business pm safe-crack-
ing and knew just how to proceed to
get into the safe without the use of
explosives.
The chissels which were found near
the safe were the property of Mr..
Davis. His tool chest which was To-
Gated In one OF the buildings in the
western part OF town was broken open
and the chissels carried away.
1t is thought THEY left town in
mediately alter the robbery and the
officers in the towns both east and
west notified to look out and try and
apprehend the fugitives if possible.
Up to this time nothing has been
heard OF the burglars.

trict; there seems to be no indication
of its improving.
The trouble is due to the shortage

that this shortage OF coal is due to

Poor old Farnam street may be torn up

The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail-

bility of laying under Farnam street aeon
duit to carry wires to some of the new
substations for distributing power. 1t has
men at work making a map of the street.

AGAINST TWO.CENT FARE
Omaha Commercial Club Goes on Record
Opposed to Cut
SAYS IT WOULD RErARD GROWTH OF STATE
Declares Need of Better Service and
Larger Facilities f. Para
mount 60 Reduction In
Passenger Rates.

Just while the Nebraska legislature is
I'm the throes Of an agitation for reduced
passenger fare the Omaha Commercial
club has taken a stand against a 2-oent
fare. The transportation committee OF
the club held a special meeting Monday TO
draft resolutions and at the meeting Tues
day Of the executive committee submitted
the following, which were passed:
Resolved, That in the opinion of the
executive committee Of the Commercial
club of Omaha a uniform reduction of pas
senger rates in the state of Nebraska 70
cents per mile at the gresenI 1.me wP tbs
state and would be unfair to the trans
portation companies.
Resolved, That in our opinion the people
of this state need more and better trans
portation facilities in the way OF addi-
tional trains and equipment, double tracks,
improved terminals and other general I'M
provements. to the end that the passenger
and freight business of the state may be
transacted with greater facility.
The main argument advanced by the
Commercial club people is that the de-
crease in the revenues of the railroads
would prevent them from double-tracking,
increasing their equipment and otherwise
improving their transportation facilities
1t is also considered unjust to the rail-
roads to reduce fare in a sparsely settled
country, such as western Nebraska is, be-
low the rate pdlu IN SOile VI Nho NhiNNiN
settled states. Even II some of the east
ern states pay cents a mile the fare in
Nebraska ought to be cents. because the
population is not so dense, says the Com
mercial club.
Less Than Two Cents.
Statistics gathered by the transportation
committee of the club show that present
passenger rates for the entire country
average less than cents a mile, taking
into consideration all excursions and re-
duced rates. In Nebraska the average is
said to be 19 cents. The argument is ad-
vanced that IL the law brings the maximum
| rate down to 2 cents, the railroads Will
| be compelled to make 2 cents the minimum,
| abolishing special rates. This would abol-
| ish merchants rates to Omaha and Lin
| coln, special rates to state ana county
fairs and special rates to chatauquas in
| all parts of the state.
1--WE want to see nothing but what is
| fair" said Chairman Charles H. Pickens
| of the transportation committee, land
| believe the railroads cannot operate their
passenger service at a profit II a reduction
| is to be made. They could not increase
| their equipment. We need better trains
and more trains and the railroads are not
I going to give them to us II we cut the
passenger rate.
I'VE are, however, in favor of 2-cent
fare for commercial travellers on the west
side of the river which they enjoy on the
| east side of the river. But this is another
proposition"

HILL KEEPS BIG MAIL JOB
Burlington Again SECURES Contract for
Carrying ths Transcuntinsntal
TwENTY-sEVEN-YtAR GRIP NOT BROKEN
Makes Reduction of seven Per
Cent 60 the Government In the
Cost OF Hauling the
Mail.

Information has been received from the
Rock Island Chicago offices that the con-
tract for hauling the transcontinental mall,
for which a contest has been waged since
the first of the year, has been let to the
Burlington road. For over twenty years
the Burlington has been recognized as the
official mail route for carrying the trans
continental mail from Chicago west, and
although many efforts have been made to
wrest this contract from the Burlington.
all have been unsuccessful.
The Rock Island made an effort about
the first Of the year to get this mall and
succeeded in getting the mail from Chi
cago to Omaha This was possible because
OF the saving of time in transporting the
mail across Chicago, connection being
made with the eastern roads at Englewood.
When the fight was on the Burlington
voluntarily reduced the cost to the gov
eminent per cent, or about $4,000. which
was about the cost of carrying the mail
across Chicago.
John K. UT, local commercial agent or
the Rock Island, said his company did not
expect to get the transcontinental contract
when It went after it, but was simply after
| the Omaha business and the transcon-
tinental business was an after thought
which IL thought II might be able to land
after it had secured the Omaha contract.
Help for the Railroads.
The Commercial club of Omaha, as well
as all the banks and other large CONNER
oial interests, have wired to Washington
asking that the railroads be given hear
ing before the house committee. which pro-
poses to cut the appropriations for carry
| ing mails about 30 per cent. The house
| nronosed TO make this radical reduction
without giving the railroads an opportunity
! to be heard and storm OF protest has
been raised all over the country. The last
hearing had on this matter was in 1899
when it was reported the rate was reason
able and no raise has been made in the
rates since that time. although all prices
of labor and material have been raised.
The executive committee of the CONNER
cal club at its meeting Tuesday passed q
resolution asking congress to give the rail
! roads a hearing on the matter.
Proportional Rates stand.
''The Rock Island will not withdraw the
proportional rates from Omaha on grain
originating in Iowa. said John E. UT
commercial agent of the Rock Island, re
ferring to a statement in the Evening
Pinkeye Tuesday to the effect that his road
would knife Omaha"
Some time ago Il was agreed with the
bother roads to take out the proportionals
but when the arrangement fell through
this office received instructions to inform
the grain men the new tariffs had beer
withdrawn which were to have gone into
effect February 2S," said Mr.. Utt. This
was on February g. Since then there has
been no intention of changing the tariffs
