Lost BY Proerastination.

A well known politician was dis
cussing a number o. things while
waiting for a train ar the Columbia
hotel last evening. He reverted to
the recent decision OF the supreme
court on the celebrated pork barrel
appropriation bill and its widespread
effect. He said the decision and mat
ters which grew out OF the decision
has taught city and town officials a
lesson: that when they are partici-
pants in appropriations from the state
for bridges or fany kind of construc-
tion work it is advisable to secure the
money just as soon as 1t is available
there is no knowing what may bob
up In the courts. For instance the
city Of Mankato has lost $4,000 for a
bridge which was appropriated in 1907,
available any time, but II was allowed
to remain in the state treasury, await
ing local action. Now comes the de-
cision which stops the payment Of
balances, but had the money been ap-
piled for ul1ere would have been no
way for the state to demand refund.
Quite a number of cities and towns
are in the same predicament.

been elected superintendent of the An

The announcement of the prospec-

reelected superintendent here.
One strong inducement for his go

for some years he has been carrying

with his special work than from this

Railroads Centering in Omaha Reach

Room Enlarged,
WILL SPEND HUNDRED THOUSAND

Railroads centering in Omaha have fin
ally come to terms and as the result OF
this harmony, Omaha is to have an en-
larged union station. whose improvements
viii cost over 10000.
For years the present station has been
entirely inadequate to the demands. There
are times every day where there Is a
real congestion at the station. This will
be overcome, the capacity of the wait
ing room will be doubled and additional
tracks furnished for cars.
Radical alterations will be made and some
Of these Will be quite expensive. The
lunch room will be moved into an addition
on the west which will extend under the
Tenth street viaduct. The ticket office
will be considerably enlarged by extend
ing them to include the room now used by
the station master. The waiting room will
be extended to embrace the large space
now used as a baggage room, and the
baggage room will be moved into the
quarters now occupied by the restaurant
This arrangement will double the Capac-
ity Of the waiting room, give more baggage
space, make the cafe more accessible and
give Omaha the most commodious depot
west OF Chicago.
1t is also planned to install two additional
tracks to make space for more passenger
trains. Considerable money has been spent
in putting new tile roofs on the train sheds.
Last year plans were made for enlargin9
the depot by moving the creamery depart
ment into a separate building to the east
of the depot.
Railroads rave realized for a long time
that Omaha needed a new depot, but some
have held back because Of the expense
The depot is owned by the Union Depot
company and all roads entering it rave q
voice in its management.
Railroads using the Union station are thC
Union Pacific, the Northwestern. the Mil.
waukee, the Illinois Genital, the Wabash
the Missouri Pacific and the Rock Island.
