O.. Cunningham. the local stakeholder in
the Peoples Gas company, says that his
company intends to have tts plans per-
fected in the near future and will ask the
council for a franchise within the next
few weeks. He intimates that now would
be a good time to ask for a franchise, on
account Of the laxity of the Omaha Gas
company Since April the Omaha Gas
p has furnished gas, testing 500
British thermal units but six days, while
the ordinance provides that 1t shall test
coo British thermal units every day. The

RIVER MEN TO MEET AGAIN
Navigation Promoters Will Confer
Thursday at Sioux City.
KENNEDY THERE CALLS SESSION
Omaha Men Receive Notice of the
MeetinE, but Know Nothing as
to the Details of the
Call.

To show that the campaign for Missouri
river Improvement has not been forgotten,
Vice President Kennedy Of the Missouri
River Navigation congress, has called a
meeting Of the vice presidents and officers
OF the congress to meet in Sioux City,
Thursday.
MIR Kennedy lives in Sioux City. He is
vice president for Iowa. He called the
meeting 'in the absence Of the president"
The president is Edgar c. Ellis Of Kansas
City, but he did not happen to be in Sioux
City, so Mr.. Kennedy called the meeting
and Mr.. Call, the secretary, who lives
up the river, advised the calling of the
meeting. 1t has also been proposed that
another congress be held this year instead
of waiting until next January. Such a
move is opposed by the down river en-
thusiasts, but seems to be favored by the
Sioux City vice president and the Sioux
City secretary.
Vice President +. d. wead of Omaha
says the meeting has been called for Sioux
City, but further than that would not dis
cuss the proposition. He was somewhat
surprised that ''Vice President Kennedy
should call a meeting "in the absence Of
the president" when Mr.. Ellis has been In
Kansas City since the week after con-
gress adjourned.
Some feeling exists between the various
factions interested in the development Of
the Missouri river, Some contend that
there was no excuse for Mr., Kennedy 5
action in calling the meeting, while his
friends consider he had a right to do so lin
the absence of the president"
G. G. Cali for Congress.
Since his election as secretary of the
Missouri River Navigation congress, George
c.. Call has been talked for congress 20
succeed E. H. Hubbard, the present con-
gresham, who outlined his policy for the
river when speaking in Omaha. Mr.. Hub
bard is for embankment work. Mr.. Call Is
said to be for general Improvement and
opening Of the channels without regard
to the embankment work. There Is gem
eral regret that Sioux City is pushing the
| movement into politics.
President Ellis is confident that some
thing will be done by the next congress to
open the Missouri river. In a letter sent
out he says:
II we keep up the fight. congress will
at the next session authorize the develop
ment of a channel from this city to st.
Louis. Success is in sight and this or
ganization will be a factor. l must have,
and therefore will get 1000 members In the
two cities. The money is needed for the
! purpose shown In the statement sent out. |
that Kansas City is still at It; that we
| will not let up until the stretch of river
below us is put in such shape that our
| merchants will not be required to operate
boats, but transportation companies will
be formed for profit, and we are ready to
cooperate in a program that VIII eventuate
in the improvement of the entire river. l do
not want to lay further burden on our bust
ness concerns, and so am simply asking for
personal memberships sufficient to make up
the funds needed. and enable us to take
the part we ought to play.

MAIL RoBBER is STILL SAFE
Charles Savage Is Not at south Omaha,
as OmcinIs Were Led to
Believe.

Postoffice Inspector Frayser and a dep
uty United States marshal went to South
Omaha Tuesday afternoon to arrest a
negro who was supposed to be Charles Saw
age, alias Charles Stevens, the Kansas City
mail pouch robber. The tip was given the
officials by a colored man who claimed
to know Savage and who insisted that he
was in hiding in South Omaha. The sus-
pected party was found, but did not answer
savage's description at all, and no arrest
was made.
The stimulus OF the governments offer

detectives ON his track and tips are con-

IWO-CENT FARE BIG SUCCESS
Reduced Rate and Elimination Of Pass
Swell Railroad Earnings.
LARGEST GAIN ON UNION PACIFIC
Percentage t. Greatest In states of
sparse Population Despite the
Arguments Put Up by
Experts.

The 2-cent fare pays, and pays biggest in
the less densely populated states.
Advocates OF the 2-cent passenger fare
find ample ground to sustain their original
pleas in the reports Of earnings filed by
leading railroads OF the country with the
Interstate Commerce commission. These
reports comprehend all departments OF reve-
nue., covering the period of the railroad year
ending tune 30, and they show that the
passenger earnings constitute a much larger
percentage Of the total gross earnings than
was the case for the year ended June 30,
1907. Another most significant fact found
in the reports Is that while several Of the
more important railways show a decrease
In their gross earnings they show an in
crease in their passenger revenue alone.
OF the railroads whose fiscal years are
such as to afford a basis for comparison,
the Union Pacific shows the largest per-
centage gain in the percentage Of passenger
earnings to total gross. This is regarded
as most remarkable, inasmuch as the one
argument opposing the 2-cent fare bill was
that while the reduced fare might be war
ranted in states whose population was more
dense than that OF Nebraska and other
western states traversed by the Union Pa
ciflc 1t would inevitably initiate as a hard
'AAAR ~ = "0eAGlh III
During the year ended June 80, 1907, its
passenger earnings constituted 1851 per cent
Of its total gross. During the eleven
months ended May 81. 1908, they constituted
sLS7 per cent of gross. This relative in
crease is equal to 11.5 per cent.
The Union Pacific's actual passenger earn
ings for the eleven months in question were
S14,957,S54, as compared with $14,9 12, sos for
the year ended June 80, 1907.
Next Comes Southern Line.
The largest percentage increase in pas
senger earnings, next to the Union Pacific,
was in the case of the Louisville & Nash
Vile, whose increase was equal to 81 per
cent. The Northern Pacific's increase was
equal to 90 per cent and that of the New
Haven to S5 per cent. The st. Paul's per-
centage increase of "a per cent was the
lowest.
The New Ravens passenger earnings con-
stituted the largest percentage of total gross
OF any OF the roads, the percentage being
1913 per cent. as compared with 900 per
cent for the year ended June 80, 1907.
In the compilation of these figures, which
constitute, probably, the most absolute
argument for the success of the 2-cent fare
and pass elimination, 1t Is notable that they
are not selected or segregated figures, but
are taken from the reports of railroads
whose lines touch the Atlantic and Pacific.

Canada, and criss-cross the country north

NEW r.

business in general has experienced a
further moderate improvement in jobbing
as we'll as in Wholesale lines. Fall trade
has reached the maximum at some cities,
and most out-of-town merchants have left
the large centers for home, though State
fairs and fall carn:vals are attracting
visitors to various sections, thus enlarg-
ing the volume of trade.
On the whole, purchases have been con-
fined chiefly to staples. and no more than
actual needs have been filed therefore
sales have been considerably below those
of last year at this season.
This conservatism, for which approach
ing elections and the diminished pur-
chasing power of the public, outside of the
agricultural! regions, are responsible, ls
looked upon with some degree of satisfac-
ton, it being felt that, inasmuch as re-
tailprs' stocks are not burde1SOme, a con-
stantly good f~lling-in order trade should
be experienced throughout the fall and
winter.
Relatively. best reports come from the
larger cities of the West and Southwest,
but southern and Pacific northwestcra
cities also contribute good returns.
