Omaha, the City of
Roses That?
Title Suggested by Guild Instead Of
the More Commercial
Name.

Omaha, the City Of Roses
According to ]. NJ. Guild. commissioner OF
the Commercial club, such a name sounds
less commercial than Omaha, the Market
Town" and the commissioner is having
a hard time to select the name he likes
best for use on advertising matter.
IF a few Omaha business firms keep on
having special sales on rose bushes, We are
going to nave q city here which viii be
noted for its beautiful roses" said Mr.,
Guild. There is no better advertisement
than to rave a specially. These rose
bushes are going into all parts of the city,
and dealers should see to II that they ar
range such sales every year. The sales
this year NEAR a great deal more 10

This is what the Commercial club and
more than a score of small manufacturer
want. but want ads have not been tried to
secure the building. Milwaukee got such a
building by making It known and now
omaha Is going to get one.
One of the hardest things to find for the
small manufacturers who are coming to
this city, is suitable buildings where power
an be secured and sometimes plenty of
steam. To supply the deficiency some
store buildings have been converted into
factories, while others operate in second
third. fourth and fifth floor spaces wher-
ever they can crowd into a warehouse or
cfrice building.
Commissioner Guild has a long list Of
small manufacturer who want quarters.
shimer & Chase have q number Of firms
who are willing to go as far out as Ralston
and are considering the erection Of a
manufacturers building in that Indus
trial suburb. They say such a building
must come.
But some manufacturers. such as photo
engravers, advertising novelties, small
clothing factories, ice cream cones and va
rlous lines of household utilities, don't want
70 go out as far as Ralston, and think they
should be accommodated in the central part
Of the city.
The building secured by Milwaukee Is
eight stories in height, 1OOx150 feet. 1t has
six elevators, two 26o-horsepower steam
boilers, pumps and electric generators.
Particular of the ceilings in
his class of buildings will accommodate
the installation Of shafting and hold any
machinery up to eight tons with safety.
The Milwaukee building has a floor space
of 10000 square feet and cost $275, 200. 1t is
said the rentals will pay s 10 8 per cent net

New City Fire Company.

A fire company, to attend all
fires occurring north of Tenth street
in this city, was formed Monday
evening at a meeting held in the
Cottage grocery store on Irwin ave-
nue. and Eleventh street.
Twenty.one men were present and
Chief Earl Cell, of the Bemidji fire
department, presided at the meeting
Mr.. Cell appointed c.. A. Parker a:
temporary captain until the COM
pany elects it's officers.
The object OF the organizations is
to get men quickly to the fires in
the Iorthern part of the city, es-
pecially during the summer months
until the new water system is com
pleted as the water pressure is very
low in that part of the town. The
enterprise is very commenda BILE
and will doubtless be the means Of
saving several homes during the dry
season.

Boat Club Meeting.

At meeting of the Bemidji Boat
Club, held in the Markham hotel
last evening, the club adopted for
its penant dark navy blue back
ground with a monogram B. B. c."
in white, which will be carried by
all launches belonging to members
of the club. The penant is about
four feet long and is very pretty, as
we'll as servicable.
Steps were taken to assist the
city authorities in cleaning up the
lakeshore and preparations discussed
for deepening the channel of the
Mississippi river between Lakes Be-
midi and Irwin and also below the
outlet across Lake Bemidji from
the city.
The club is also planning on
several regattas to- be held during
the summer. The club is popular
among the local launch owners and
the membership is growing steadily.

Duluth, May s., Especial to Pic.
neer.) Walter Whitehead, the Du.

pummeler' of the northwest, and
George Gunther, the Melbourne

garoo," fought fifteen fast rounds
to draw, near here, last night.
Whitehead broke bone in his
right hand, in the tenth round, but
continued to the finish of the
scheduled fifteen rounds. Both men
finished strong, and there was little
to choose as to which had made the
better showing.
Heretofore, Whitehead has been
putting all opponents to sleep" in
jig time" but in Gunther he met a
cool and determined fighter whose
style bothered him much.
Whitehead fights a little over 165
pounds, willie Gunther is middle
weight.
1t is likely that finish fight will
be arranged between the two men,
to be pulled of later, somewhere in
the northwest. -

memorable in the history of the

Already five teams have registered

70 RECOMMEND
CHANGE IN Law
President Hopes to Remedy
Commodities Clause.
CABINET DISCUSSES CASE

Announced That Mr.. Taft Intends to
Devote Much Time This Summer to
a Study of the Question of Corpora
ton Control, the Recent Supreme
Court Decision Having Bearing on
the Investigation.
Washington, May 5.-The decision
Of the supreme court of the United
States in the case of the commodities
clause of the Hepburn railroad rate
law was discussed at the cabinet
meeting. President Taft repeatedly
has announced that he intends to take
up and study the question of the con-
troll of corporations during the sum-
mer months and the commodities
clause decision undoubtedly will have
a distinct bearing on his considera-
ton of the matter. It was said that
Mr.. Taft will devote himself largely
to the subject of. recommending to
congress the passage Of legislation
which will prevent the possibility of
an evasion of the clause by the coal
railroads.
Under the decision of the court the
railroads can carry coal for any COM
pany which they do not own outright.
Through holding companies, however,
they could control the mines and the
transportation Of the output as though
no law on the subject existed. To
remedy the act in this respect will be
the question to which the president
will first direct his inquiry.
Mr.. Taft also will have recommen-
dations to make as to legislation tend
ing to bring railroads and other cor
porations more definitely under gov
eminent regulations.

ject to dizzy spells for several years
previous to her sons birth. She told

nightmares when he was two and
three years old He would spring up
in bed and cry OUT she said, and it
was difficult to restrain him.
Mrs. Hams related the story of the
accident when her son, at the age Of
nine years, fell down the hatchway of
the lighthouse tender Pharos. She
said this fall had very serious effect
and that her son suffered from severe

afterward.
