THE PRESENT SITE


The INDEPENDENT has published arti-
Giles faroring the location OF the court
house ON the hill north of town. In
doing this, it has given the advocates of
the different sites an opportunity to
put their arguments before the com
missioners and the public.
The commissioners will doubtless
weigh the arguments in favor OF the diff
ferent sites and then proceed TO locate
the new courthouse where they think
it should be I o best serve the people of
the county. They are men Of mature
judgement. strict integrity and good
business ability and whatever their
choice may be il will be the choice Of
this paper.
But where should the new courthouse
be locatedg The advocates Of the hill
sites urge the sightlineSS of the respect
ives sites. the absence of dust. good soil
for trees and lawns, the growth Of the
town nOrthward and westward. etc. etc.
The advocates Of the present site urge
its central location, its proximity to the
business district. its accessibility and the
accommodation Of all who have business
at the courthouse.
If sightliness is alone to rule III the
selection Of the sight, the hill back OF
the high school should be chosen. Ii
| has all the advantages of Block ID in
| soil. absence from dust, etc, and is
nearer the business center of the town.
But leave ont sig~htliness and the present
location Is far superior To either Of the
other sites that are urged. BY the pur-
chase Of additional ground adjoining
the present site. the courthouse grounds
can be bcautified and made the most
beautiful spot i'll town. This can be
. done as we'll in the fiat AS on the hill.
The argument that the old court
house and Jail are too valuable To he
! destroyed is not as weighty as ii seems
! to be on its face. The old courthouse il
is claimed could Ire used rs q dormitTry
/ for the high school. Those who urge
this lose sight of the fact that the
building is old and in a few years will
be unsafe to use for any purpose. Be
side this they fail To consider the ex'
pense Of fitting up the old building for
a dOrmitory. This would cost Il snug
sum and when done the county would
have but very little To show for the
money expended. No one denies that Il
high school dormitory is needed badly,
but the rcmodeling of the courthouse
for that purpose will not fill the bill.
The above is written i'll reply to the
articles that have appeared favoring
locations on tine hill. 1t expresses the
writer's sentiments unintiuenCcd by
any consideration except what is best
for the people of the county i'll the
location Of the new courthouse. If the
commissioners choose the present site,
the writer will he pleased. but, if in
their Judgment the new courthouse will
better serve the people Of the county
i'll some other location. he will grace
fully submit to their decision.

BEFORE DISTRICT COURT

Members Oppose the Neber
saloon.

An effort is being made in district court
before Judge Troup to get thrown out the
license granted Charles Neber to. conduct a
saloon at 2229-31 Leavenworth street.
The license was allowed by the Board Of
Fire and Police commissioners March Is
following a protest by property owners.
Prominent among these protestants was
the pastor, Rev. w. E.. Todd. and members
of the Third Presbyterian church.
When the board came to vote on the
question two members sldestepped, two
voted in the affirmative and one in the
negative. A. w. Jefferis and w. W Sla-
baugh. attorneys Tor the opponents of the
license, assert that a license granted by
only two affirmative votes will not stand.

loon keeper, before the board and Is still

M. c. Peters Plans
to Rebuild His
Mill on Old Site
Adjusts All Fire Losses and Now Di.
reefs Attention to New
Building.

Losses Of the M. c. Peters Mill compan
by the fire which destroyed the alfalfa
meal mill two weeks ago have all been ad.
justed and the company is turning its at
tention to the problems of reconstruction
Though President Peters is not ready as
yet to make a definite announcement Of his
plans, stockholders in the company say the
mill will be rebuilt In Omaha on the old
site as soon as possible, as the company
is losing a great deal OF money because OF
the inability to fill orders.
The stock is owned by MIR. Peters and
many business men. all of whom are vi
tally interested In Omaha and its future
as a commercial and manufacturing center.
The demand for the alfalfa meal has made
the industry an important one and stock
holders say there is no doubt as to the
mill being erected In the city.
Some trouble has been experienced when
the mill was in operation in securing suf-
ficient alfalfa to keep 1t running. Many
times Mr.. Peters said he could secure but
one or two cars of the raw material when
he wanted from ten to twenty. Arrange.
ments have been gradually made witt
growers to cure the hay as it should be
cured to make a sweet and high class
meal and when the new mill is opened
1t is said the trouble of securing raw ma.
terial will be largely overcome.

Withheld Urges
Appropriation
Building Inspector Says if Council
Will Not Finance Him His
Hands Are Tied.

Dilapidated and unsafe structures In
Omaha will be allowed to stand and con.
tinue a menace to occupants or passersby
and remain eyesores unless the council will
give City Building Inspector Withheld an
appropriation enabling him to tear them
down.
The council neglected to appropriate at
the beginning of the year any money for
this purpose ana the building inspectors
hands are tied. He says there are many
old shacks in the city that ought to be
razed Immediately, but he cannot order
them demolished because he has no money
with which TO do the work in case the
owners refuse to do It themselves. In
other years he has had an appropriation
to work with and when the owner of a
condemned building refused to raze it, the
building inspector has stepped in and
done 1t.
This department cannot be run on
wind" said Mr.. Withheld, and the first
thing the new council will be asked to do
will be to vote us an appropriation. l am
going to ask for 1900, and this will en-
able us to get rid of about 100 buildings
which are in a dangerous condition. The
cost of razing dilapidated buildings Is taxed
against the realty and eventually the
money will all be returned to the city"

ELECTRICAL WORKERS TO
ASK FOR RAISE IN WAGES
want Fifty Cents n Day More Than
They Are Getting at
Present.

Electrical workers in Omaha are asking
for a raise in their scale OF wages and
have set June 1 as the date when the new
scale shall go into effect. A committee
from the union is calling upon the con-
tractors and will report Wednesday night
Of this week when the Electrical Workers
union will take what action Ia deemed nee
essary.
Electrical workers are now receiving pay
on a sliding scale of from So to 81 a day,
They ask for an increase of 80 cents per
day. Some of the contractors are favorable,
others are not. There are about fifty mem
bers of the union and about twenty con-
tractors, though there are only five large
contracting firms.
Il cannot say that we will strike II we
fail to secure the increased scale" said A.
w. Grayson. secretary OF the Electrical
Workers union, but we are not asking
for as much as Is paid in most large cities.
II the committee reports that the contIa c-
tors will sign up for the increased pay
that will be all there is to H.; II an ad-
verse report is brought In we may then be
forced to do something"
Increased pay is asked for only the full
fledged journeymen electrical workers, not

ELEVEN CARLOADS OF WOOL
That Much Has Reached Omaha Since
Saturday, More Coming.
PRICES ARE ON THE UP SCALE
Growers shipping TO Local Plant Are
Going to Hold out for Twenty
Five or Twenty-six Cents
Per Pound.

Eleven carloads Of Wyoming wool have
arrived at the plant OF the Omaha Wool
and Storage company since Saturday morn
ing and more has been shipped. The prices
Of wool have n decided tendency to ad-
vance and there Y every Indication that
those who store in Omaha for a few months
will reap large profits.
Growers shipping to Omaha are going to
hold out for IS or 96 cents.
The warehouse in Chicago is not COM
pleted and is for stockholders only, which
leaves the average wool growers out in
the dark. Omaha bankers are making the
same terms as last year. which were all
the money you need with warehouse GER
tificates as collateral at market rates"
Arrangements have been made by the
managers Of the Omaha warehouse to in
sure the wool placed In storage; the rates
for warehouse facilities are lower than
elsewhere, and II costs growers ? cents per
hundred less to ship to Omaha and then
forward to the east when the clip is sold
than 1t does to send the wool to Chicago
for storage and forward it from there.
Wool dealers and manufacturers are look
ing for the top of the wool boom. 1t does
not appear that the high price has yet been
reached. The growers who contracted at

Chance at Million Pounds.
The Omaha company has received in
formation that two of the largest Individual
clips in Montana aggregating some 1yOOO, 900
pounds each, could have been bought for
% cents per pound. This week % cents
per pound was offered by wire and refused.
AS "a cents per pound was paid last week
for the Hervie clip in Montana 1t is thought
that little if any more good wool will be
secured for less than "A cents. From 23ll
to "a cents are the ruling prices at both
Casper and Rawlins.
One authority estimates that the landed
secured price in Boston of woods bought
in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho will reach
20 to 20 cents and that buyers will have to
get 50 cents per pound when selling the
secured product to get out with 9profit.
The wool growers are going to make
money this year and those who store In
Omaha are going to make more money.

Little Boy Loses
His Sight, but

Son of DR.. c. o. Robinson Goes to
State School Determined to
Become q Writer.

'One hundred more blind children OF Ne
braska will be given training at the school
for the blind at Nebraska City. there being
over one hundred now in the Institution,
since Superintendent Abbott has taken
hold and greatly enlarged and bettered
the facilities at the school," said DR.. c. Q.
Robinson, who returned from Nebraska
City Sunday. where he entered his little
boy as one of the students under Mr..
Abbott
The case of the little Robinson boy is
peculiar. Up to a short time ago his eyes
ually they began to fail and the little
fellow is now totally blind But that has
not dampened his ambition. He is deter
mined to learn even with the handicap of
blindness and says he will be a newspaper
man or writer some day. Though but 10
years Of age he has written some com
positions which would be a credit to a
much older boy and better h most
people ever write.
The school has been run too econom-
ically," said DIR. Robinson. The state of
Nebraska appropriates money for these
institutions intending that it shall be used
to give out unfortunate children training
not surpassed by any similar institutions
In the country. The people of Nebraska
are generous with appropriations and while
they would not stand for waste, it seems
to me such schools should not be run with
the idea of turning back a large sum into
the treasury and depriying the children nf
things they need. The school at Nebraska
City is now IN excellent condition and
when citizens who have been keeping their
children at home find out what an ideal
institution Superintendent Abbott is max
ing for the slate, they will send their boys
and girls TO lin. / believe there are more
than 100 in the state who should be at
