American and Pacific Express Com
panies VIII Mako Changes

Omaha, Feb. 2S.-There will be no
joint offices between the American
and Pacific Express companies when
the American dispIaces the Pacific on
the Union Pacific road April 1. That
has been settled by the managers of
the two companies. They conclude it
is for the best interests of each COM
pany to "go it alone" The one ex-
ception is at South Omaha, where
they have already a joint office.
Headquarters building in Omaha and
separate offices in Council Bluffs will
be retained by the Pacific. Real es-
tate men say that offers to buy the
headquarters at Fourteenth and Har-
ney streets have been refused. There
are in Kansas at Sa1ina, Topeka and
one or two other points where the
Union Pacific crosses the Missouri
Pacific express offices that will need
to be separated, as the Missouri Pa
cific is a Pacific express road as well
as is the Wabash. superintendent
Walker of the Pacific at Kansas City
will have charge of the line over that
road to Omaha and superintendent
Buckmaster of the Pacific at ST. Louis
of it's business over the Wabash.

portant Experiments in East.

portant Experiments in East.
The Pennsylvania railroad, it is
stated, is giving special attention to
the use of wireless telegraphy, and it
is understood that in the near future
it's wire officials probably will make
some important experiments. The Of
f1cials, it is stated, believe that the
new system of handling the CONNER
cial business of the railroad company
would work well except in mountain
Gus districts, where peculiar atmos-
pheric conditions exist.
The Allegheny mountains have
been considered, and it is said the
system would not work very salts
factorily there. It is probable that it
will be tried first on some of the
western divisions Though wireless
telegraphy has not been brought to
such perfection that it could be
trusted in the dispatching of trains
on a railroad, it is believed by rail-
road men that the handling of COM
mercial work could be performed
with the new system. Railroad men
say, however, that it could be devel-
oped so that trains could be moved
by it.
