Gets Good Grip Mt store By saylnG

Some woman with a good gift Of CAB ia
ahead a good leather grip and the police
are looking for her.
Tuesday a well dressed woman entered
the store Of FrelinR & stemie, near
Eighteenth and Farnam streets, n picked
out two expensive leather grips. saying she
ana her husband were about to take a
trip. She said that she would take one
grip with her and asked that the other be
sent to her husband at the Omaha Ma
tional bank. She said her husband was
c.. #. McGrew. vice president of the bank.
When the grip was delivered to Mr.. Nc
Grew he was thoroughly surprised and
when inquiry was made It was found that
the woman must have been an lmpostor
and had tricked the trunk company of a
good grip.
This incident recalled TO a bunch Of
business men at the Commercial club the
way Albert Edholm was worked the same
way two years ago by a woman who
bought a 500 necklace, saying she was
Mrs. e. ]. McVann. The mistake in that
case was discovered when Mr., Edholm tele-
phoned to find out how Mrs. MeVann
liked her necklace.

new LINE TO HELP OMAHA
Milwaukee Will Build Extension Into
Northwest Territory,
WILL CONNECT WITH COAST ROAD
Eject of the Lime Will BE to Place
Omaha ON Equal Footing with
st. Paul and Minne-
aDOlis,

The Milwaukee railroad is planning q new
line from omaha to Join with Its Pacific
northwest extension, which is now being
built. When the Milwaukee extension is
completed that road will have one OF the
strong transcontinental lines across the
continent, but Omaha Is not on the direct
line from the coast to Chicago and will
not derive the benefits It should. Sioux
City and Minneapolis and ST. Paul are
now so situated that they will be better
able to sell to the new territory, and also
to be the market places for the products
Of that portion of the country.
The only way at present for the live
stock and grain from the vast territory
tapped by the Milwaukee to reach Omaha
would be to haul it back from Manila, Ia.
which would be almost prohibive. TO place
Omaha the Market Town on the main line
of the Milwaukee from the coast to Chicago
Is now the plan of the officials of that
road.
Just where the line will be built from
Omaha is not announced, but it is thought
II will run in a northwesterly direction
to meet the Milwaukee in South Dakota.
The Milwaukee line between Omaha and
Chicago Is one of the great freight-carrying
lines OF the country and the plan to make
that line the east outlet OF the Pacific
coast extension is most feasible. The Mil.
waukee is not only planning on getting
it's share OF the freight from the Orient,
but 1t also traverses a rich territory which
will yearly yield thousands OF cars Of grain
and cattle. Omaha is the established
market town for these products and it is
the most natural thing in the world for
the Milwaukee to want to be able to place
the products of the farms and ranches OF
its new country into the leading market
town In the west. =

Frank Donahue, a car checker for the

Frank Donahue was a boy OF IS. the son
of George A.. Donahue, 25lo L streets, South

Line of Heavy Tramc.

That a line through Omaha from the
northwest would be a line OF heavy traffic
is shown by the Burlington's northwest line
to Billings, where 1t unites with the North
ern Pacific. At Billings the Burlington
takes what freight the Northern Pacific
wants to divert in this direction rather
than to send via st. Paul, and still the
Burlington last fall had more business than
1t could handle In fact, the business of
the Burlington line to the northwest is so
heavy that it is now building a second line
to be able to handle the enormous business
which works its way from the Pacific
northwest to the Missouri valley.
1t is but natural, then, that the Milwau-
kee, which will have a line of its own from
the coast, will want a line into the Missouri
valley to handle the lumber and grain and
live stock and minerals which will come
this way.
Tit Milwaukee extension is being rapidly
pushed to the coast and did not let I'D
during the hard times which stopped most
railroad building, The directors and build
ers Of the new line had provided ample
funds for the new line before the financial
troubles of last fall, so that the work
continued uninterrupted all last winter
and this hummer. The Milwaukee road is
said to have plenty Of money back of it,
so that II the directors should decide 10
build the new line to Sioux City. or even
to South Dakota, 1t is not thought they
would experience any difficulty in raisine
the funds.

as to attempt to secure material that was
undeserved by indicting letters to the
"ChriStmaS man.
SO the question became complicated
and is this year still regarded as. far from
solution. The Postmaster General is la
boring with the problem of delivering the
letters. and while still holding that there
is much merit in the procedure of last

Aside from this there were some humor-
Gus features developed when the attempt
was made to deliver the letters to Santa
C.aus. Up in Minnea polls for inst ance
there lives a Swede who actually bears
the name OF Kris Kringle. The postal
authorities believed that letters addressed
10 him were intended for the saint Of the
same name. and they were turned over to
the local charitable organization When
the good women perused these letters
with the idea of determining the wants
of some supposed small child they found
them to be love letters for Kris from

were remaiIed and finally reached the inn

in consequence being much delayed So
Claus protested 10 the Postmaster Cen
eral and something of stir was made.
But the difficulty in properly delivering
the letters in no way detracts from their
interest. From the direction the envelopes
bear there is shown a variety OF opinion
to the permanent address of Santa
Claus. The vast majority Of children hold
that the north pole is the real residence
of the old toy man. Many are sent to
Greenland. more to Iceland some to
"Reindeerland' and some merely bear
the legend Up NORTH But what of an
address! There is always the same con-
fdence in the old saint be it coupled with
pathos or humor. laughter or tears. and
if the letters are not all answered it is
never the fault of Santa nor of any of
all the men and women who want to help
him out in his big delivery on Christmas
eve.
Here are a few of the letters to old
ST Nick that were never delivered but
rescued from the waste BASKET at the
dead letter office:
