AT OMAHA'S EXPENSE
Secretary of War Holds Up the
Location of Army Aviation
Station for Ohio.
WAIT TILL AFTER ELECTION

With the election only four days
off, the War department of the demo-
cratic administration continues silent
on the question whether Omaha is to
have the army aviation station at Fort
Omaha, as recommended by Chief
Scriven Of the signal corps.
Though the Commercial club has
been pushing Omaha's claims to the
War department since it was learned
that Akron, o., has put in bid
backed by political pull, the depart
ment gives no satisfactory answer to
the clubs message. The Commercial
club has been given to understand,
however, that nothing will be done to
fix the location until after election.
Nothing Tangible Yet.
Asked for information, Colonel G..
L. Bingham. depot quartermaster of
the Omaha general depot, says: Il

Meantime, while Secretary OF War
Baker is playing politics by holding
the aviation station up as a plum for
Ohio If his home state goes demo-
cratic, the splendid equipment of the
War department at Fort Omaha is
rusting in disuse.

CORN TAKES SHARP
BREAK, WHEAT RISES
Bountiful Harvest in Corn Belt
Pounds Down Prices on the
Local Market.
WHEAT is UP ONE CENT

Due to reports that the crop is far
better than was expected and that
conditions for the harvest are per-
feet, cash corn sold off to 6 cents
per bushel, the break being almost
equal to the phenomenal rise of few
days ago. Omaha receipts were light,
there being but thirty-six carloads on
the market. Old stock sold at $40
95 cents and new at 85@87H cents
per bushel. Dealers, however, think
the break is only temporary and that
there will be sharp advance as soon
as the south begins to make its an
nual inquiry for stocks.

PROHIBlTIvE FREIGHT RATES.

Some weeks ago the Gazette denied
statement appearing in the Wenatchee
World to the effect that q prohibitive
freight rate had been made by trans
portatiOn companies on EPSON salts.
That denial was made on the authority
|of statment from the manager of the
local salts works, it seeming a mon
|strous proposition that railroads would
combine to put out of business an in
stitution that was aiding to develop
one of the natural resources of the
country. 1t is now evident that the
World was better informed than the
local manager of the salts works, and
lit can no longer be denied that the
railroads have raised the freight rates
lou Epson salts from Oroville to the
eastern markets to a most eXhorbitant
figure, a figure that is death blow to
the local industry. The rate has been
raised from so cents per hundred to
$I.2O per hundred, and as salts are
|quoted at only $12O on the eastern
market the new rate, If enforced,
means the closing down of the local
plant. Indeed, Mr.. Cronin, the local
manager, has on hand three cars of
salts to ship to the coast market, one
to Spokane, one to Seattle and one to
Portland, and if he does not receive in
structions to the contrary he will be
lcompelled to discharge his force and
close down the works, thus throwing
La number of men out of steady employ
Iment, and putting an end to an indus
TRY that has been instrumental in plac-
ling in circulation in this community a
large sum of money during the past
Iyear.
Strong appeals have been made to
tho railroad commission in an effort to
secure some relief by the restoration
| of the old rate, or at least rate that
would leave some margin OF prof1f 70
the western operator. The Oroville
commercial club and other oganiza-
tions of like kind have entered strong
lprotests against this killing off of an
Infant yet promising industry, yet up
| to the present time those appeals nave
met with no favorable response. Sen
lators and congressman have also been
|solicited to use their influence in Sc
lcuring relief, and no doubt these gen.
Itlemen are doing all In their power to
find remedy.
Unfortunate will it be for the town
and country If an arbitrary freight rate
should result in permanently suspend
ling production at the Oroville salts
works. Why this step was taken by the
railroads is not known. and the natural
Inference to be drawn is that eastern
Inroducers with an inside pull have
Isucceeded in inducing a radical in
Jcrease in freight rates on this particu'
liar product In order to strangle wes'
tern competitor The company operat'
ling at Oroville has spent large sun
|of money putting up necessary build
lings. installing machinery for evap'
lorating and handling the remarkable
natural deposit, paying royalties ant

throughout the entire county. She liv-
ed for years in Conconully and Oroville
