WYOMING MEN HOLDING CLIP
Decide This Policy Necessary to
Secure Their VRIne.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. May 15.-(special)-
A canvass of the state just completed
shows that the recent storms did little
damage generally throughout the state In
a few instances there were heavy losses
Of shorn sheep where the animals were
caught Immediately after shearing, and
where little or no shelter was afforded
and where the storms were especially
severe. The cold, unfavorable weather has
caused light losses of lambs in some quar-
ters, but not the loss that has been re-
ported Lambing is only about one-third
along, and with good weather from now
on the sheepmen will realize a normal lamb
crop, the percentage in the more favored
sections and also in the late lambing sec
tions and the former in the sections where
sheep lambed early and where severe
storms prevailed Seventy-five per cent
should be the average for the state.
There is little or no change In the wool
situation. Few If any offers for the wool
are being made, except on the consignment
basis, and then the advances are not such
as to encourage growers to consisn. Sheep

Ihe tlrSt regular trains Will run over
the Lane Cutoff Sunday, although the SER
vice will be somewhat limited until the
second track is completed. Beginning Sun
day the westbound through trains will use
.he new track, but no effort will be
made to make a saving of time at the
start the extra time saved being con-
sumed for the time being, in running slow
over the new work.
General Manager Mohler has arranged
to take the heads of the various depart
monts OF the Union Pacific over the road
in special train, Saturday afternoon, that
all may be familiar with what has
been accomplished For the present east
bound through trains and all local trains
in both directions will run over the old
track through Millard and Papillon.
Burt Examines Great Western.
Horace G. Burt, former president of the
Union Pacific, has been appointed to ex-
anime the properties of the Chicago Great
Western in the interest of the English and
American security holders. He has been
instructed to make a thorough examna-
tion, as the English holders wish to know
the exact condition of the road They de-
sire to know what disposition to make of
1t October l. when the notice to the credit
ors expires, and they will have the power
to take up the matter An English finance
committee has the final authority of the
roads finances. Robert Fleming is chair
man of that committee.
The committee has an absolute veto
power upon the action of the directors as
far as the issue of securities and the ex-
pending of money is concerned except
for operating expenses. Mr.. Fleming has
been In this country for several weeks,
but has returned home. He is quoted as
saying that 1t would be necessary to sell
the property before proceeding with a re-
organization plan, but the management
of the road has taken no action in the
matter of sale. 1t is pointed out that the
sale of the property would be to the best
interest of all concerned as 1t probably
would be bought by some interest which
will provide the necessary means to put
the company on its feet again.

CUTOFF ON TINE AND FARES
Lane Line Brings Omaha Nearer to
Western Nebraska.
ALSO REDUCES PASSENGER RATES
New spurt of Track Makes Union Pa-
cihc the short Line 20 Grand
Island at n Cheaper
Price.

Omaha will be nearer 70 the central and
western part of the state of Nebraska by
means OF the Lane cutoff OF the Union
Pacific, which is scheduled TO be opened
Sunday The building Of the road OF los
miles will make a saving Of as miles be-
tween Omaha and points on the Union
Pacific TO the west.
This not only makes a saving in dis
tance, but has also had the effect of re-
ducing the passenger rates to and from
Omaha from all points in the state touched
by the Union Pacific road II makes the
Union Pacific the short line between
Omaha and many points in Nebraska TO
which the rate was formerly based upon
some other road. The Burlington was
formerly the short line to Grand Island.
but this new cutoff makes the Union Pa
cific the short line and makes a reduction
in rates.
The same thing applies to stations on
the branch lines north and south of these
junction points along the main line, on
which the rate was formerly based upon
the mileage Of either the Burlington or the
Northwestern. The Northwestern formerly
had the short line between Omaha and
Fremont. but that distinction is now held
by the Union Pacific. The intermediate
points will take practically the same re-
ductions the junction points
What the Union Pacific will do with the
time saved by the lesseDing Of the distance
is aaso a problem No. of the Union Pa
cific now has about two hours IN which
to make the distance from Fremont to
Omaha. How it can kill that time while
running ten miles less than at present is
a problem which will have to be figured
out. The distance on the Union Pacific
from Omaha to Fremont is now about
forty-six miles. and with the ten miles
cut off will make it about thirty-six. The
distance on the Northwestern from Omaha
to Fremont is thirty-seven miles.
Old and New Rmtes.
The old and new rates and the reductions
from Omaha to different points In the
state are as follows:

EIGHTY FIRMS ON TRADE TOUR
That Many Omaha Business Houses
Have Made Reservations for
Excursion.

Excursion.
Eighty representatives of Omaha busi-
ness houses have now made reservations
for berths and apartments on the trade ex-
cursion train which leaves Omaha Sunday
evening, May "a, for an extended trip
through western Nebraska. Colorado and
Wyoming.
Only five more places remain, as fifteen
reservations have been made for guests Of
the club, newspaper writers and photogra-
pliers, who will accompany the trade exeur-
sionists.
To make the scheduled time it will be
impossible to add to the equipment of the
train and the first five in will be served;
all others will be compelled to wait until
the next excursion.
Booklets containing scenes of Omaha and
western life, as we'll as portraits of every
man in the party, are heing published, and
they will be among the most handsome
souvenirs ever published by any city. Spe-
cial designs have been made by the best
of Omaha artists and the booklet is diff
ferent from anything ever published before.
The trade extension committee has re-
ceived petition from the citizens of Hud-
son. Wyo., asking that the party visit that
town. According to the schedule the train
was not to stop at Hudson, but when thirty
business men of a town send petition the
club is sure to recognize it. The schedule
will not be changed, but the railroad COM
pany will make up ten or fifteen minutes
in running time and the train will stop at
Hudson.

which are preparing 10 receive the Oma-
hans. Bunches of advertising matter about
Wray scores of postal cards showing scenes
in the town and a letter from the Chamber
of Commerce giving the names of a recep-
ton committee have been received by the

Since January l, last, the railroads and
the Industrial corporations of the country
have issued notes. bonds and stocks aggre-
eating 65,677,154, against $6O7, 800 for the
first four months of 1907. This decrease of
sol, ,SSS, ,746 promises to be more than made
up during May by impending bond issues.
During April new security flotations were
heavier than in any previous month this
year. due chiefly to the sale Of railroad
bonds, including the Pennsylvania's $4O.-
10000 issue.
The grand total of railroad and indus
trial capital raised last month was $239, ,726,-

decrease of Ss547s6 over March, 1907. The
operating expenses were $2,94s,461, a decrease
OF 1852, ,335. The taxes paid were SOL 1886, an

Rise in Stocks.
When Hartman said the other day,
What is S25OOO,OOO to the Union Pacific"
he had evidently been watching the rise in
quotations of the stocks in other roads
owned by the Union Pacific. The Union
Pacific is the holder of nearly 100000
shares of stocks in other roads than the
Union Pacific itself and its proprietary
companies. The market has been on the
rise for the last few weeks and the equity
has appreciated with an astounding rapidity
The recent rise in the valuation of South
ern Pacific alone has meant nearly $So,9OO,OOO
as compared with the recent low prices.
Union Pacific has stocks in its treasury
which cost approximately 5000 100000 and
on the present market these stocks are
now worth over 100000, making an in
crease over the low market of nearly
500, 600 900, or about the amount of the new
bonds which were authorized last week.
