HIGH BIDDER WINS IN COURT
National Construction Gets Decision
in South Omaha Case.
HUGH MURPHY WILL FIGHT IT OUT
Asserts that He VIII Garry the suit
Decided by Judge Redick 60
Higher Tribunal for
settlement.

Frederick offerman and Hugh Murphy
were defeated Saturday morning in the
first round OF the South Omaha contract
ors' war in district court. Judge Redick
handed down a decision which denied the
temporary Injunction. prayed for against
the city Of South Omaha and the National
Construction company.
OffeTnian. who is a property owner on l.
street, sought to have enjoined the paving
of that street. the contract for which was
let to the National company at the time
when Murphy had a a p;d in 1907 less.
Judge Redick based his decision on the fact
that the law provides the contract shall
go to> the lowest responsible bidder, that
a comittee OF the council voted that the
Purington brick which the National com
Ipany proposed to furnish had been used
satisfactorily in several streets and that
the C~offeyvilie brick had never been so
used. This established. said the judge IN
effect, the legality or the letting of the
contract to a higher bidde than Murphy.
Although by the "rattler test the Coffey-
willie brick showed better slightly than the
Purington, yet both came within the pre-
scribed limit of efficiency and durability.
Murphy, through his counsel, W. ]. Con-
nell, announced that the fight will be car
ried to a finish. The National Construction
company can now proceed to pave the
street, the restraining order having been
vacated by Judge Redick. but suit will be
Instituted TO stop payment for the work.
The fight between Murphy and the Ma
tional company, which includes several for
mer city officials, Is a bitter one and the
resources of the law will be exhausted be-
fore 1t is ended.

WANTS Dixie AT SALIVA SEA
Route of Boulevard Connecting ELM
wood and BanscOm Parks is
to BE Mapped Ont
at Once.

Levi Carter park, the latest addition to
the park system of Omaha, will not absorb
the attention of the Board of Park Com
m~issioners this season to the exclusion Of
all other parks, for the board has decided
to devote considerable time to Elmwood, in
the southwestern part of the city. Elm
wood Is one of the largest parks in Omaha,
but not as mucn attention has been paid it
in the last few years as some others.
A few weeks ago the board, in conjunc-
tion with the council and interested prop
erty holders, secured from the street rail-
way company its promise to extend it's
Leavenworth street line 20 the park, and
at the last meeting of the board a commit
tee was appointed to decide upon the route
for a boulevard to connect It with Hans
com park. Friday the board held another
meeting and decided to ask for plans for
a pavilion in the park.
The superintendent of parks was instruct
ed to cooperate with East Omaha prop
erty owners looking toward the building
of a dixie at the northeast corner of Salina
Sea, in Levi Carter park, to prevent over
flow from the Missouri river.

for grading the South Central boulevard
from Bancroft street to the entrance OF

tracted for matchmaking Florence boule-
ward north from Spencer street.

The parents of the boys promised the

OF their hopefuls. They disclaimed all

WORTHY WORK QUICKLY DONE
Energy of the Navy Department in
Handling Three Thousand
Houses for M~esafna,

Among the most important work rendered
as a result OF the funds appropriated or
raised in behalf OF the Italian earthquake
sufferers was the acquisition under the
Navy department OF 5000 frame houses,
which had been shipped from New York
to the devastated region. This work was
accomplished under the bureau Of supplies
and accounts OF the Navy department and
the details were entrusted to Pay Inspector
j. A. Mudd, u. S. N. in charge of the
navy pay office in New York. The sum
Of 100000 was expended In this direction,
100000 being from the relief fund and 800
900 being that allotted by the Red Cross
association. 1t was made known to the
president by the Italian ambassador that
these temporary houses would be. a most
useful form OF relief ana steps were AT
once taken to obtain estimates for the
lumber which would be needed. This ma
terial amounted to is, 1000, 900 feet, furnishing
material for about 5000 houses. Within
forty-eight hours Il was possible to award
the contracts, the plans and estimates hav-
ing ben obtained I'm New York. The project
also required the charterlng OF the vessels
to carry the material to the Italian ports,
and everything was done with the utmost
expedition, which wal more to the salts
faction and credit of the naval authorities
because IT represented the operation of
existing machinery. It was, indeed. a dem
onstration of what can be done in an UNI
usual way i'm a grave emergency with the
least possible time for the acquisition Of a
large amount Of varied material. The con
tracts included not only the lumber. but a
great variety of hardware which was neces-
sary and a quantity OF carpenters tools.
More than this, expert carpenters were
employed TO go out with the shipment and
instruct the Italian lsborers in their work

Omaha is now in eleventh place. and last

LAST DAY FOR FILING.
Mcdbury Makes Good Under the
Carey Act-Settlers Save
Their Lands

Their Lands.
A large number of Mountain Home
people holding land in the Medbury
valley went down yesterday to make
filings on their lands under the Carey
Act Today is the last day in which
settlers are permitted tc file back on
the same land placed with the state
for segregation. After today all
land not filed on viii be subject to
entry under the provisions of the
Carey Act
1t is generally understood that ev-
cry settler in the valley was ready
to file on such land as he desired
to hold and still retain. The bal
ance having been sold at good fig
ures since the opening on October
9th.
Medbury can now well count her.
self one of the most successful Carey
Act openings in the state. The
highest prices have been paid for
land in the valley since the opening
ever before known in the Northwest.
The land straight thrugh has brought
very satisfactory prices and every
settler who gave up right when
the valley was first promoted has
profited wei for his chances and
perseverance.
Much credit is due r. w. Simpkins,
who has been most active in the pro-
motion of the valley. and his per-
sistent efforts which finally secured
a company to segregate and irrigate
the valley. He has been especially
active in the interests of the settlers
and decidedly since the date of the
opening was announced.
At that time it was condition
that many of the settlers held large
tracts of land which they would be
unable to file on and make the first
payment, unless a part of this land
could be sold at a reasonable figure.
This Mr. Simpkins, together with the
irrigation company, set about to do
through the most thorough and con-
vincing campaign of advertising that
ever preceded a land opening in
Southern Idaho. The result has been
most gratifying, as every settler who
placed his land up for segregation
has been relieved by a sale of the
surplus land or a straight loan, very
little of the latter.
When the real rush of settlers from
the East for Idaho land sets in next
spring, there is no doubt but Med
bury will be we'll looked after by
Mr. Simpkins and his associates and
prices obtained that will be an eye
opener to those who have beer
