STATE TO RECOVER
FROM THE TRUST
Harbor Commissioners Will Pro-
ceed to Collect Large Sum
Paid for Cement

According to a report submitted by
Engineer Ralph Barker at yesterdays
meeting of the harbor commissioners,
the clause in the boards contract with
the cement trust, providing for as re-
bate in case cement should be sold dur
ing the year at less than the contract
price, will mean a return to the state
of s7,9sS.
Barker's report shows the receipt of
31,755 barrels of cement since May,
when deliveries began on the contract.
The trust later sold cement to Chief
State Engineer Ellery at 25 a barrel
less than the price charged the har-
Dor commission. Under the terms
of the contract the reduced rate fixes
the price and negotiations are now un-
der way to collect the rebate.
The contract for building a tempo
rary wharf, necessary in the construc-
tion of pier "a. was awarded to the
Thomson bridge company.
The telephone company was granted
permission to place temporary tele-
phones on the north wall of the out
side waiting room at the south end
of the ferry depot during the week
prior to Christmas. This, the company
explained, was to accommodate the
holiday rush.
Broadway street wharf No l is to be
paved with asphaltum, and Secretary
Thorpe was directed to advertise for
bids. The estimated cost of the work
is $4,000.
A communicat tion was received from
the Merchants exchange asking that a
railroad track be laid in Union street
wharf No. 2 and along the outside front
of the seawall between Montgomery
and Stockton streets, both tracks to
be connected with the belt railroad
AS this suggestion is in line with the
boards effort to bring ship and rail
together wherever possible, it will re-
ceive attention when the necessary
money is available.

This fact reduces the length of both
the Cobe cup and Indiana trophy

inally planned, while the light car
race will be 236 miles, instead of the
scheduled 245 miles. Trego recently

Philadelphia Jack Says the Middle

Here is Jack OBrien's estimate of
Stanley Ketchel, twice his conoueror.
They can't beat him-no man in the
world can, and it's for the very simple
reason that there isn't a man in the
world who can keep away from him.
They've called me the jumping jack of

in my heart that he is the only one

You all saw how long it took him to
get me and they have given him little
credit for the fast work he showed in

punch that l landed on him He had me
backed near the ropes. I saw an open

contemptuous fashion and came back
at me again. That was the hardest

my experience. Then 1 decided that it
was case of run for my life and out

Whip johnson Sure.
"Now a little of this Johnson fight
He'll whip Jack sure. If he had had
my chance the other night you have
only to compare the two fights to fig

And this is, in my opinion, why he will
whip Johnson. The negro is as flat
footed a fighter as 1 ever boxed in my
life. Crowd him and he goes back and
picks them up. Well, then, how is he
going to stand with his big feet plant
ed flat on the floor and possibly pick
off the punches that Ketchel sends
over? He can't do it, for the very good
tell which hand is coming. Did you
notice his most peculiar habit and thing

lnese ale the sreat Gacts, the nign points IN Omahas
lirteeu Yeas ADVANCE. but there Is another size To the
case, a sue whicn SHOWS more detnitey the goou AN
oar-ben uoes. 1t Is the subtle change that has come over
the atutuue OF country merchants ana the citizens OF
tributary towns III tnelr iuea OF Omaha ana its relation
TO them.
1nere can be no doubt about the fact that Omaha has
been a real metropolis for only a short time, and that be-
fore that change came 1t was a big town 1t was big
ger, more active, more important than other towns, but
1t was one or them. Every town in the state that had
any clam at all to importance was Jealous Of Omaha.
Merchants thought the people who came to Omaha for a
fall shopping tour we're taking trade away from them,
we're not patronlzing their n]eighbors and we're spending
their money in a foreign market. No one ever thought
that the greatness of Omaha wal an index of the great
ness of the state. Many men who found that a certain
article could not be purchased in their home towns, sent
to Chicago for it, passing Omaha purposely. All the
travellers and statesmen who have spent the last ten Years
in the small towns of the state have met and combatted
with this prejudice and know that it was a real obstacle
in the way of Omaha's progress.
1t took Ak-Sar-Ben to find a way to dispel it. When
the country merchant found that a fall carnival and fair
was being held in the city for his especial benefit, he be-
came interested. Being interested he was led to visit the
festivities. once here it was easy enough to make him
buy. The attraction Of the Ak-sar-Ben fete and holiday
did more to bring people into the city than advertising O
q purely commercial sort could ever have done.
Not only were people actually brought here and in-
duced to trade, but all through the summer of every year
the Ak-sar-Ben influence was busily at work breaking up
the GOODNESS that existed between out-of-town men and
the metropolis. Country visitors we're made much Of at
the Den; they were entertained, amused and persuaded
that in closeness to Omaha was their commercial saliva
ton. This could have but one effect on Omaha's prog
ress. 1t identified 1t with the progress Of Nebraska. The
progress of Nebraska has been to increase the value of
farm land in the state 81 per cent in the five years from
1900 to 1905. 1t means something to be identified with
a commercial movement like that.
Perhaps a comparison between what Omaha was fif-
teen years ago and what it is now would tell the story
better than a description of the great commercial move
ments.
In the issue Of January /, 1895, an editorial writer
