OMAHA MARKET is STEADY
Prices Do Not Fuetuate on Grain
Exchange Here as They Did
in Chicago.
GOVERNMENT MAY INVESTIGATE


While the Chicago wheat market was
tluetuating wildly yesterday with split
OF nearly 10 cents between high and low.
prices on the Omaha Grain exchange
were steady, with an advance OF to 2,h
cents over Tuesday
Wheat receipts at Omaha were alb
normally light, there being but nine cars
received. and OF these only two were on
sale, one selling for sL57h and the other
sl5s per bushel The others were con-
signed direct and were to fill orders on
which sales had previously been made.
Corn failed to follow the advance made
by wheat and sold a full cent lower or
more, most of the sales being made at i2
to I6 cents per bushel There were sixty
carloads on the market.
Although oats receipts were light, nine
cars. prices ssgged from those OF Tuesday
and the sales ranged from SAY to 50 cents
Rye made the sensational jump Of the
day, clean cents. the price going
from H2a to $3.50 per bushel.
While Omaha dealers felt confident Of
big advance in wheat prices, they kept
out OF the speculative side OF the deals
that were foTecasted by the private wires
from Chicago. which told Of Italy taking
100000 bushels. with England seeking to
buy quite as much more for immediate
delivery.
Government Investigation.
The Chicago private wires also broug ht
TO the Omaha dealers the information that
the government has started an investiga-
ton into the advance made and to be
made on bread prices by the bakers
This, it was asserted, had a tendency to
curb speculation and cause Omaha grain
men to keep out of everything that might
have a tendency to bring about any COM
plications.
AS the noon hour approached several
wires from Chicago verified an early re-
port that the attorney general had o.
dered an investigation of the rapid ad-
vance in all grain prices during the last
Few days. with a view to ascertaining If
there is any collision between the dealers

You'd what conditions would Justify.
Local grain men take the position that
an investigation of the advance in prices
on wheat and other grains will simply
determine that the rapidly diminishing
supply and the as rapidly Increasing de-
mand has brought about the high prices.
They take the position that as the sup
plies decrease the prices must increase

crop is practically assured

what the railroad has been Going to
satisfy the complaints made as to por-
tons OF the right-of-way upon which
public streets have been maintained and
valuable improvements erected. Prior to
the act OF June g. 1912, the supreme court
had decided that the railroad company
was poweriess 70 give title to or reln-
puish its interest IN any portion Of the
ioO-foot right-of-way. The predecessor OF
the present reorganized Union Pacific
company had permitted encroachments in
the nature OF streets and permanent inn
provements II had also, in the sale OF
odd sections OF the land. reserved in GER
tain cases only 200 feet instead Of the
fun width. The act OF iN2. above re-
ferred to. sought TO validate those writ
ten conveyances.
VIII Abide by Act
Although the title OF the present cor
poration is base upon foreclosure pro-
ceedines and therefore superior TO its
predecessors. the Union Pacific promptly
announced its Intention 60 abide by the
act OF congress and its Willingness to
execute quit-claim deeds to all adjoining
land owners holding deeds of the original
company, for portions of the risht-of-
way, and Il has issued up to the present
time more than $50 such deeds All cases
OF this kind have not yet been cleared up,
but the company Ia proceeding as fast
as II is practicable to do so.
"The company is also recognizing the
equities OF land owners where permanent
and valuable improvements have been
permitted. and is making twenty-yesr
leases on nominal terms to sbuttlng
property owners. permitting the rieht-of.
way not Immediately needed to be used
for agricultural and grazing purposes.
The lessee may cancel the lease on thirty
days notice, and the railroad company
reserves the right to take possession OF
the full width whenever necessary for
railroad purposes.
THE position OF the railroad company
In short is this: While 1t desires to rec
ognize the rights of persons. based upon
the acts Of its predecessor in giving deeds
and allowing the erection OF permanent
and valuable improvements. and stands

ABOUT THAT RlGHH-OF- WAY
General Solicitor LOOMS Explains
Attitude Of the Union Pacific
in This Matter.
REASON FOR ORIGINAL WIDTH

Il should Ike 70 have the public under
stand the attitude OF the Uniop Pacific
towards the 4o0-foot right-of-way con-
troversy," said N. II. Loomls, general
solicitor for the company. who recently
made an argument before the senate
judiciary committee against the bill
which proposes to reduce the right-of-
way to 100 feet.
II do not believe that congress will at
tempt 20 take what Il contracted to give
as an lnducement 20 construct the rail-
road" added Mr.. Loomis. ''The railroad
was built and the right.ot-way earned
and congress might as we'll attempt to
forfeit quarter section paid for under
the presumption laws.
AT the time the grant was made most
OF the country through which the railroad
was projected was inhabited by savages.
The land was OF little value. anu nobody
thought OF objecting to the width of the
right-of-way. As Il was Individual in
vestors were not willing to advance any
money! for construction and It was not
until the law was amended In 1854. that
private capital could be interested in the
enterprise. Now that the land has be-

effort has been made TO compel the Union
Pacific TO part with its title TO all tho
risht-of-way except fifty feet upon each
side OF its track, and to give It without
cost to the abutting land owners. II
this much could be done without COM
pensation. 1t is difficult to understand
why congress could not so further and
take away ell OF il up to the end Of the
ties and even the right-of-way upon
which the ties themselves are located.

A farmer near Jackson raised a
colt that was as bare Of hair as a
Mexican dog. The parents of the
freak were Of the ordinary, covered
kind, and no theory is advanced as
to the cause of the offspring's ridi-
culous nudity. The animal grew to
horsehood but seemed SO sort of re-
pulsive like" that the owner was
ashamed to drive him to town and
kept the hairless monster at work on
the farm. A Jackson man heard of
the horse and for $40 became his own
er, and now has an offer of $500 for
him, sum which he has refused on
the ground that the freak is worth
much more. In all respects except his
shameless endeshabille, the hairless
horse appears respectable and well.
