Omaha daily bee., 1916-02-27

that started rate war which resulted in corn
being carried from Omaha to the Mississippi
river for cents a hundred pounds.
The organized interests of Omaha being
once aroused, the railroads soon abandoned
their unjust rates and the grain began rolling i'll
trainloads to Omaha, so that the elevator ca
pacity was exhausted
The elevator capacity here at thattime was
100000 bushels During the next year this ca
pacity was increased by more than 80 per cent
and it has continued to grow.
The receipts of grain, however, continued
to CROWN larger proportion than the elevator
capacity and for the twelve months ending De
cember 81, 1905, there were nearly 35,00OO0O
bushels of grain received in the new market,
which took rank in its second year as one of the
principal primary grain markets of the coun-
try BY the end of the third year the elevator
capacity had increased to 100000 bushels and
the receipts of grain for the year reached the
splendid total of 44,500,000 bushels
Still more elevators were built so that by
the end of 1909 the storage capacity at Omaha
reached practically 100000 bushels.
The Omaha market has been from the start
an actual and open market There has, been
buying interest here from the beginning that
has taken every bushel of grain offered, no mat
ter how large the quantity, and has paid for it
such prices as have attracted further business.
The weighing and inspection of grain at
Omaha has been gradually improved until to-
day the character and standing of the Omaha

//T UPON what meat doth this our grain
u s sasa'"F' feed that It is grown 50
In the short space of twelve
years it has been born and has grown to be the
first primary grain market Of the whole
try On actual receipts of corn it is second only
to Chicago.
The principal meat" in its diet for great
ness has been standing up for Omaha, particu-
larly in the matter of getting equitable freight
rates Other articles on the menu have been
square dealing, conservative management,
avoidance of padding the figures
There was a day-and not very long ago
either-when the principal indoor sport of the
railroads was boosting freight rates to Omaha,
and keeping 'em boosted. Committees used to
go and protest
The railroads were real nice about it.
They'd receive the committees and even listen
to them. LET 'em protest if it pleases 'em,"
said the railroads Why, they d even consent to
"place your protest on file" Yes! But the pro-
test stayed on file and the freight rates stayed
where they were With Omaha lying in the
very heart of the greatest grain raising area in
this country, it couldn't get the grain.
Then the Chicago Great Western railroad
built in to Omaha and at a dinner at the Com
mercial club, A. B. Stickney, president of the
<foad, preached the idea of making Omaha
grain market. In November 1908, the Omaha
Grain exchange was organized and it began &C
tive operations in February, 1904. Mr.. Stick
ney did his part by putting in effect grain rates

spection are unquestioned in any market in the
United States. -.
Up to 1909 the growth and development
was based upon Nebraska and Iowa grain only.
1t was merely a problem of freight rates that
kept the Omaha market from invading other
fields
There was Montana, for example. The great
and fertile Judith basin was producing enor-
nous quantities of the finest wheat But the
rates! There the rub. To Minneapolis the
railroads quoted rate hardly more than half
that to Omaha. One shipper inadvertently
shipped a car of wheat to Omaha and almost
had heart failure when he got the bill for
freight.
Then the Omaha Grain exchange got busy.
Secretary Frank Manchester packed his grip
and took that midnight train for Montana He
"camped" right on the ground for several
weeks He interviewed shippers. He looked
he came back with many facts and figures.
This time the exchange didn't have to go
before the railroads. They went TO the Inter
state Commerce commission And pretty soon
the order went forth regarding grain rates from
Montana to Omaha that decidedly put Omaha
ION the map" Result: Over 1000 carloads Of
wheat have come from Montana to Omaha this
year, thank you.
The splendid building being erected by the
grain exchange at Nineteenth and Harvey
streets is a monument TO its great prosperity.
A dollar and-cents indication of this pros
perity is found in the fact that the price of mem
Omaha daily bee., 1916-02-27

berships in the exchange has risen 100 per cent
in the last year.
The exchange now has 1876 members. OF
these 100 are grain men, members of the sixty
active grain firms in Omaha. Just five
years ago, in 1910, there were only thirty grain
firms in Omaha.
And this is the youngest grain exchange in
the United States.
Wheat receipts of the Omaha grain ex-
change increased from 1881 900 bushels in 1907
TO 1925, 200 bushels in 1914 Corn receipts in
creased in the same years from 18, 200 to
30,004S 800 Total receipts of wheat corn, oats,
rye and barley increased from 1857 900 to Co.,
9S3,S00
Total shipments increased from 43,810, 500
in 1907 to 1924 800 in 1914
And this is all genuine, bona fide business,
too. Some markets have a pleasant little habit
of counting all the grain that passes through
their cities as receipts and shipments, evea
though it doesn't figure on their exchanges If
a train of fifty cars of wheat comes through from
some extraneous point destined for some other
extraneous point, they add all that wheat to
their receipts" and then add it to their "ship-
ments.
AS for the future, lit is absolutely limitless
with possibilities and probabilities, says Sec
rotary Manchester. GAS we are constantly
reaching into new fields of supply, so we are
also broadening our market because of the high
reputation of this exchange in the various mary
kets of the country" --------

AFTER HEARING REAL MUSIC
Sc One Has True Appreciation Nothing
Is Finer Than Beethoven Played
by Master Pianist.

In that moment ! could have sworn
the pianist became little black man
with a lions head and eyes that
burned: The brow was ponderous with
brooding, and the lips were straight
with suffering. The ill-fitting coat was
cut as once long ago coats were cut
with high collar. Humpy about the
shoulders. Trousers too ample. Then
/ saw again the wild, tossed hair, the
gloomy brows and eyes that burned
beneath with strange fires. And as
he played the white keys faded and
the great black sweep of the concert
grand, and the huge-headed man stood
quite alone, shaken by blasts Of music
that were hot as passion, bitter as salt
tears, penetrating as the infinite stars.
''My God" said someone at my elbow,
that is Beethoven" Then the music
stopped. tell you, it was still as morn
, ing, and little swarthy man grinned
and bowed without hand to clap him
for full ten deep breaths; and when it
came, the harsh, long rush of clapping
hands, it seemed that great golden
things were being smashed and let fall
down Earring to the earth.

WAR AGAINST GERMANY
Germany Hands Portuguese Minister
at Berlin His Passport-Seizure OF
Ships Neutrality Breach?

Rerlin.-Germany has declared war
on Portugal, and the Portuguese min.
lister has been handed his passports.
'"The German government, there
fore. considers herself from this time
In war with the Portuguese govern
ment," is the conclusion of declara-
ton handed by the German minister
at Lisbon to the Portuguese govern
ment and in Berlin to the Portuguese
minister, the Overseas News Agency
statement says.
"The German declaration" says the
news agency, emphasizes the fact
that this step was made necessary by
the recent illegal seizures of German
ships in Portuguese ports, which is
the gravest sort of breach OF. neutral
ity and of special reaties. Germany,
therefore, is obliged to give up her
former attitude of forbearance, which
she had maintained because of Por-
tugal's awkward situation.
"The declaration enumerates long
series of breaches Of neutrality by the
Portuguese government, such as the
permission of free passage to English
troops through the colony of Mozem-
bique, the permission given to Eng
lsh men of war to use Portuguese
ports for a time exceeding that Civ
en- neutrals; the permission given the
English navy to use Madeira as ma
val base; actual engagements between
Portuguese and German troops on the
frontier of German Southwest Africa
and Angola; frequent insults to the
German nation by members OF the
Portuguese Parliament, who never
were reprimanded.
''The declaration further points out
that the seizure of German ships In
neutral Portuguese ports on Feb. 70
was an act against the law and the
treaties concluded between Germany
and Portugal"

in the Senate when his water power
bill was passed by a vote of As to %.
The only two Southern senators who
voted against it were, Senator Luke
Lea of Tennessee and Senator Morris
