RECORD PRICE FOR RANGE BEEF

The South Omaha Commercial club met
yesterday afternoon. The meeting was pre-
ceded by a luncheon at Backke's restau-
rant. The members had their pictures
taken before the public library building,
where the business session was held. The
principal discussion was the street car eN-
tension to West l. street. IL was ascer-
tanned that most OF the members were In
favor OF the movement to open up this
section Of the city. 1t was thought the
proposition to come through the stock
yards was better, II anything. than to come
across L street. 1t was thought better to
have the line even IL the people might on
occasion ride through the business section
to Omaha. Any loss by this circumstance
would be repaid by the better feeling on
the part OF the residents o. me West Side.
II was suggested that this route might cas-
iy be made the shortest one TO the Union
station by joining with the Tenth street
lines on the boulevard, or perhaps at Cas-
tellar, after passing over the Benson line
to those points
