VIADUCT OVER RAILROADS
City our Tries to Answer cues
tiOn, Can Railways BE Com
PEELED to Construct ThemP

Can the Union Pacific, Great Western
and Burlington railroad companies be COM
PEELED to construct a viaduot over their
tracks from Twenty-sixth street to the
intersection of Bancroft and Thirtieth
streets. Thi' is a question that confronts
the city cou lcil at the present time.
The counC | at its last meeting passed
an ordinance requiring the construction Of
a viaduct over the railway tracks at this
point and appointed appraisers to assess
the damage for the grading of the street
and the building OF the approaches to the
viaduct. No time was set for the building
of the viaduct, but the city engineer was
instructed to draw plans and specifications
for the proposed elevated roadway and
the inference was that the viaduct was to
be built as soon as practicable. Now a
point of law is liable to be injected into
the case.
The United States supreme court has
ruled that when a railroad crosses a street
the street must be left and maintained in
as safe a condition as before. Nothing Is
said in the decision about the reverse work.
ing Of the rule. but the argument is made
that when a street crosses a railroad the
railroad should be left and maintained in
as safe a condition as before.
Tenth, Eleventh and Sixteenth streets
were open thoroughfares before hey were
crossed by the railroads. Under the pro-
visic rs of the supreme court decision tho
railroads were compelled to build viaducts
on these streets to maintain the streets
in a safe condition. But with the pro-
posed Bancroft street viaduct a new con-
dition is confronted. The railroads were
there before the street was and the ques-
ton is raised that II a viaduct is to be
built n the city should not do the work
TO maintain the safety OF the railroads"
which were there first instead Of COM
polling the railroads to bulld It to main
tain the safety Of the street" which was
opened long after the railroads were built.
Andrew Rosewater, city engineer, says
he does not believe a like case has ever
before been brought up, and he is Of the
opinion that a long legal battle will have
to be fought before the new viaduct will
be built.

Long ago 1t was decided that food which

tastes better than It looks is little recon-

TURQUOISE is IN FASHION
Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mrs. John
Drexel Have Made
Them So.

Turquoises have become fashionable again
as a result of the collection worn by Mrs.
John Drexel and Mrs, Potter Palmer in
London. Queen Alexandra expressed admi-
ration for the strings exhibited by the two
American women at the marriage Of Miss
Jean Reid to Hon. John Ward.
A natural development has been the wear
ing of turquoises at all smart affairs since
then and, of course, the fashion will be
carried westward when the army OF Amer

are the delight and envy of English women.

large as a pigeons egg, and of flawless
luster. Mrs. Drexel and Mrs. Palmer share
with Mrs. John Jacob Aston the truly femi-
nine honor Of possessing the most beautiful
collections of Jewels of the American
women who are welcomed in the most ex-
elusive circles in England, but this is the
first instance in which royalty has mani

LABORERS ESCHEW THE FARM

They Can FIJI.

With hundreds Of farm hands wanted In

$50 per month and board, one Omaha labor
agency shipped ninety men to railroad work

borers will have 81 deducted from their

a boarding car insead Of a big farm house

More farmers are paying $50 per month
than ever before" said the labor agent.
we have more applications than we can
fill and every day there are men in from
the country wanting hands in the harvest
and hay fields, but the hands are going to
railroad work at from N.25 to sl.75 per
day and paying their board to the COM
panies at the rate OF "a per week."
But there are fewer men coming through
Omaha than usual. Last year. At the
same time, the sidewalks in front OF the
labor agencies. were black with men. SAT-
urday there were a few struggling Greeks
and Italians who could not be sent to the
farms nor put TO work at the building
trades in Omaha, which file applications
daily for mar men.
Several Hundred Needed,
w had an application from q ranch at
Merriam. Neb.," said a labor agent. THE
owner wanted four or five men for the
hay fields and said several hundred HANDS
could be used in the fields along the North
western lire within a few stations OF Mer-
Ram.
What the South Dakota farmers will do
for assistance is a matter OF conjecture.
The Kansas hands are not moving north
as they have in other years. Lack OF rail-
road rates is doubtless responsible for the
hands staying in Kansas or at least failing
to travel north and assist in shocking and
threshing the grain as they do almost
every year"
Within a few weeks the broom corn har-
vest southwest OF Omaha will begin. A
hundred gangs Of men will doubtless be
needed according to labor agencies.
Whether the hands who have helped har-
vest the broom corn crops OF Kansas will
move north to do this work is a question
There are three big broom corn sections,
one In Illinois, one in Kansas and the
other in western Cass county. about Muir
dock and Alvo and south of South Bend.
While expert help ia wanted 1t does not
take the ordinary working man long to
learn how to make a perfect table nor how
to cut the brush from the stalk. The broom
corn raisers will probably pay 81 per day
and board as many OF the applicants for
help in the harvest fields are offering
from So to $3.50 and good country board
for help.
