Special Rates to
k-Sar- Ben and
Corn Exposition
Reduced Fares Will Be Made for Both
Big Meetings in Omaha
This Fall.

Ak-Sar-Ben and the National Corn ex-
position probably will secure reduced rates
this fall. The railroads already have de-
cided to grant reduced rates for state fairs
and now the directors of these large insti-
tutions are at work to secure them to the
two largest gatherings in the west.
The Rock Island has announced rates of
one and one-half fares to the Iowa and
Nebraska State fairs and because Of these
concessions the board of governors of Ak
Sar-Ben and the directors OF the Corn
show hope to secure the same rates this
fall. The date of the Iowa State fair is
August 26 to September 8 and the date of
the Nebraska State fair is September to
September 10.
A year ago the railroads made an agree
ment not to give any more reduced rates
in the west. Some roads first broke the
agreement in regard to state fairs and then
all finally gave rates to the fall attractions
in Omaha.
When some time ago the roads announced
that they would postpone the withholding
of reduced rates for a year and would
grant rates to state fairs the Omaha inter-
ests busted themselves and say they will
be satisfied with nothing less than the
rates other large attractions secure.

DECLINES TO ISSUE ORDER
FOR EARLY WATER TRIAL
Judge tt. c. Munger Prefers to Await
n Conference with His
Colleague.

The nterminable water works case
bobbed up again in the United States cir
cult court Wednesday morning before
Judge T. C. Munger. This time It was an
effort on the part OF the Omaha Water
company to secure action on its petition to
enforce the alleged confession of judgment
in the hydrant rental cases.
C. c.. Wright for the Water board has
filed an affidavit denying that there was
any oral or any other kind of an agree
ment that the Water board would confess
judgment in the event of the cases pend
ing in the circuit court Of appeals should
be decided against the city.
r. S. Hall, attorney for the water COM
pany, insisted that such an agreement had
been made in the presence of Judge T. c..
Munger in the former hearing Of the case
before him.
Judge Munger said: II do not remember
the situation just az you put It. Mr.. Hall.
There was some talk of Mr.. Wright agree
ing TO certain points should the circuit
court of appeals decide against the city.
Stipulations of this character should always
be made in writing
Mr.. Hall asked that the court would issue
an order for an early trial in the case,
but the court declined to make such an
order until after a conference with Judge
w. H.. Munger.

''The question of inland waterways Is
national in its scope, for 1t will benefit all
alike to have these canals gridironing the
country said Colohel Baker, member OF
the Board of Supervisors of Council Bluffs,
in addressing the Real Estate exchange
wednesday. IF the United States would
keep pace with other nations of the world
these canals must be built to provide cheap
transportation. Therein other countries
excel us and can underbid us in the open
markets.
China has recently completed a deep
waterway, 1000 miles inland, to iron and
steel works, and that country is now send
ing pig iron to the United States and is
able to beat our prices because of this
cheap transportation.
Russia has canals extending 1900 miles
into the grain fields of Siberia, and we are
compelled to meet this cheap transpOrta-
ton competition as we'll as cheaper labor.
We cannot cheaper our labor, so we must
cheaper our transportation.
Argentina has improved one Of its rivers
Loo miles inland TO a depth OF twenty-one
feet. to admit of seagoins vessels. Bel
GUM, one-seventh the size of Nebraska,
has L,40 miles of waterways Holland,
one-sixth the size of Nebraska, has 1000

OF any Importance, and all manufacturing
centers. France mas 5000 miles of canals
and a deep canal is now being built to

Railroads run on both banks Of the
Danube and they work In harmony with
water transportation Canada has the lead
on the United States with the Welland
canal and now is building a second canal
twenty-one feet deep beside the Weliand
canal.
"A year ago Hartman made the asser-
ton that the products ready for transpor-
tatiOn in this country increased 100 per
cent every seven years, while the facil-
tiles for handling this increase was but
30 per cent. He advocated strongly water
ways as an adjunct to the railroads. Now,
a year later. James J. Hin has come out
with the same assertion"
