The grievance committee of the conauctois of the Union Pacific systom began a secret session vesterday. Thero are fifteen mem- bers, and they are meeting at the Dellone hotel. Color Lent to the Report of Proposed North- we xtenston—Railrond ; At the oftice of General Managor Burt of the Elkhorn railway the rumor of the early extension of the Northwestern system from Fort Casper, Wyo., to Ogden, was discredited as improbabie. Aunother Elkhorn official who refused to be quoted by name, said: “No material for the rumored extension has been piled up at Casper, as reported, but I am inclined to believe that a movement of great importance 1s being quietly manipu lated in railroad circles. Two or three weeks ago Tue Bre gave u hint of an impending break in the alliance between the Northwest- ern and the Union Pacific. It was said that the latter had called in 1its traveling freight agents to headquarters and directed them to instruct local station agents to quietly givo the Milwaukes a share of tneir east bound business. While in Chicago ro- cently I learned eunough to make me think there was good foundation for Tue Bee's story. At least Iwas convinced that the Union Paaific had begun a movement to di vert some of its traflic from the Northwest- ern to the Milwaukee. Indirectly I have it from a Union Pacific station agent in Ne- braska that he hus been directed to quietly throw his influence for the Milwaukee on business going east of the Missouri rive: To me tue signs indicate that Jay Gould is paving the way for a break from the Vauderbilts, who coutrol the Northwestern, 1 happen to kaow that the Northwestern has placed an order for 40,000 tons of steel rail. That will lay a line 424 miles long. If you will tuke the map and measure the dis- tance in a straight lne from Casper to Ogden you will 1ind it to be about 320 miles, so that 40,000 tons of rail are enough to lay a'line between those two points, It is also reported from Salt Leke City, Utab, that the North- waestern has secured u cight of way to within two blocks of the union depot in that city. Of course if the Northwestern should buila to Ogden it will also have u line to Salt Lake, and it is hardly probable that it would buy un expensive right of way through a city without intending to uso it. 1 cannot positively give the route of the roposed extension, but there has been a pre- nminnry survey and I know in a general w. what that 1s. It runs n a southwesterly direction from Casper through the valley of the Platte, south of the Rattlesns moun tains; thence by Rangis up the valley of the Sweetwater to the South pass, and thence in a southwesterly course to Ogden. ““I'here is a curious bit of history about Rangis, by tfle way. It was proposed to establish a postoftice at a rauch owned by a man named Signar. The intention was to give it iis name, but he strongly objected, and the matter was compromised by revers- ing the order of tne letters n his name and making the vostofice Rangis.” Grain Rate Manipulation, Thu expose of the manipulation of grain rates between Omaha and Baltimore started the rumor that the through tariff had been reduced 3 cents a hundred and the agents of the freight lines have had the ungratetul task of disstpating the hopes of local ship- pers and of trying to explain how they were placed at a disadvantage by the naughty Ohio & Mississippi. “1 know that the disceimination is made on shipments by way of Beardstown, I, said one of the freight men, ‘‘but a man in our business can’t always give away ail that he knows. The Burlington system is undoubtedly acting on tho square, and the manipulation is due to its eastern connection. Neither the Ohio & Mississippi nor the Baltimore & Ohio is cutting the rate opeunly, but a favorite Balumore firm 1s gotting o rebate just the same. 1ts buyers ave thereby enabled to bid more for corn by 2 cents a bushel than other Omaha grain men can afford to pay. This matter was brought to the attention of Commissioner Blanchard some time ago, but the dificulty is to got evidence that will conviot the offending road. Mr. Blanchard instructed bis inspectors to be on the alert, but the weighing and the billing are all right, and the manipulation is a very smooth bitof work “There Is one consolation about this mat. ter, and that 1s the fact that there is a limit to the carrving capacity of the Ohio & Mis. sissippl,and she Lasnot been able to do much east-bound business for some time except that cut-rate grain traffic. While it puts Ne bmska grain men ut some disadvantage it is not 50 serious as though a big trunk line of suormous carrying capacity were in the deal.” Suburhan Passenger Service, It was rumored yesterduy thut the Belt Line was about to abolish commutation tickets and charge full fare on its suburban trains. The rumor was unfounded, and soems 1o have grown out of & movement to bave the train service increased. Formerly there were five suburban trains on the Belt Line, two in the morning, one in tho middle of the day and two inthe evening, but now there are only two, The residents of Drutd Hill and neighboring suburbs sturtod out this week *vith four petitions, the bscribers to which agree to take a desig- nated pumber of monthily tickets, fifty wips to the book if the old train seryice be resumed, ho movement was started without any suggestion from the reilroad company. After the suburbapites huve made a thorough canvas of themselves they propose going to the Belt line ofMoers, making a tender of the business pledzed ou the subscription papers, and fosist on more trains. Incidontally some one suggosted that the Belt line be asked to increaso the fares to full rates except when comnuiation tickets wero used. - Tho purpose of Lhis was to force suburoan residents to buy blooks of tiokets, but it is said the suggestion will not ve carrvied out.

Major Paddock favored goiug farthor than that, and moved to amend the resolution by laving the superintendent of poor name in his orders the goods that the applicants should purchase. Mr, Berlin was glaa the board had taken hold of the matter. He had worked for a year to accomplish such a plan, but had always met with opposition. Judge Stenberg knew of an instance where aparty had received an order for $1.50 ana had expended half of the same for a tobacco l)lpc. He had no objection to helping work- ng people, but did not propose to buy thein pipes or other luxuries. As amended, the resolution was adopted and in future every bill that finds its way back to the coanty clerk will show just what and how much the parties applying for aid received. About Extra Clerks, ‘When the special order of business was reached, theclerk read a commun fon from tho Real Estate Owners associati request ing tho cutting off of a number of clerks, whose total salaries amount to 3,150 per annum, Mr. Berlin granted, Major Paddock said the matter had been disposed of somo time ago by the board ask ing for a report from the auditor, giving a list of county employes aad their sularies. Thie report, ne said, would be ready in a few , and for that reason he wanted the mat- 0 luy over one week. 1n looking through his papers Major Pad- dotk discovered that he had the report from theauditor. He moved that the whole mat- ter ve referred to the committee on finance. Mr. Berlin insisted that snch action would be illegal. T'he cinirman thought not. There was a motion before the house, but that would not prevent the mattor going over for oue week. With that ruling the request of the Real Es- tate Owners association went to the commit- tec on finance. Thomas Ritchie was appointed justice of the peace for Union precinet anda his bond approved. Judge Eller asked that a number of changes be made in the interior of the county court room. The judges of the district court also asked that changes bo made in the interior construction of court room No. 3 of the court house. Both matters were referred to the committee on court house and jail, Paul Harbach served notice upon the board requesting that the county warrants of 1,260 issued to the Nebraska Tribune and the Pokrok Zapadu respectively be with- held, as suit had been brought to restrain payment, ‘Lhe motion was placed on file, When the bills of N.

Therefore, wo would respectfully re- quest that you reduce the present staft to one inspector and one assistant, one weighmaster and one assistant.

We think that the chief inspector should bea competent man to inspect grain and look after details in person. It would have been a great saving totne state had the chiefs of the departments done their duty and operated the departments on business principles, suggestions on our part as to cutting down the force would not have been necessary.
