The generous fall OF snow has proven
TO be capital for the various Omaha char

work TO several hundred men who were

Several months ago the driveway

Immediately thereafter a new street
was opened for the march of progress
and simultaneously the outlet OF
Lake Morton was closed and Progress

The results is that the residents
around the lake are indulging in va
rious forms of amusement. among
the foremost being the rescuing OF

cue and after a couple of weary
hours drag him from watcry grave.
Ii was exciting for Il while for the
residents, but the drivers and their
horses have never liked it. The faci
is the residents are ceasing to take
the interest in it that they did two
months ago and it is beginning to
pail upon them.
For two months the Lake Shore
drive from Kentucky avenue around
t. South boulevard has been impas-
sible and the families around that
section have been travelling through
the alleys and entering by their own
back doors And most OF the alleys
are not quite all that Well worn

residents have learned considerable
about the Lakeland alleys latel, ana
the indications are that they are go

that by the process OF evaporation ii
would take about ten years for the

Some have suggested punching 4

TELEGRAPH OFFICE.

Quite an article appeared in the Pic
ayune of Monday relative to tele-
graphic facilities being established
here in connection with the Cumber-
land Telegraph & Telephone Company.
The article goes on to say that ar
rangements have been made with the
Cumberland Tel. & Tel. Co. that mes
sages for the Western Union Company
would be accepted by the Cumberland
Tel. & Tel Co. and transmitted, and
that the charge would be made against
the phone. etc. After some investiga-
ton it was impossible to confirm the
article as having any grounds. Mr..
Porteous, superintendent of the West
ern Union Co., being interviewed on
this subject, denied that he had ever
made mention Of any arrangements as
mentioned in the Picayune, and that
his first information regarding the ar
ticle was brought him by The Herald.
Mr.. Porteous stated further that the
matter of the telegraph Office for AL
giers would be taken up through him
with his superior officers within a

a determined effort to bring the
bids for the new immigration Station
at Algiers within the congressional ap-
preparation will be made to-day.
S. E. Redfern, United States immi-
grafton commissioner, who has worked
increasingly on the project, will meet
the architects today in order to try to
arrange some way to erect the station
without having TO readvertise for bids.
1t is hoped that with a few changes
and little pruning the three bidders
will then be able to come within the
appropriation of a little more than
500. 600.
In discussing the matter yesterday
Mr.. Redfern said that he was not very
confident that the changes could be
accomplished, but that he hoped they
would be-
The bids for the station were re.
ceived on Dec. 10. and exceeded the
amount allowed by about $1,000. If
Commissioner Redfern is successful in
bringing the building and approaches
within the appropriation little time
will be lost. but if it has to be read
vertised several months will elapse.
When the station is erected it is be-
lieved that it will prove a boom for
New Orleans in bringing immigrants
TO this section. Under the present law
the immigrants have to be inspected
aboard, and if for any reason they are
detained the cargo cannot be unloaded
The new station will relieve a number
of perplexing conditions and help the
