10 b SURVEXORS RUN THEIR LINES Route of New E:tnulion to Balt Lake is Now Flainly Indicated. DESIRABLE ENTRY INTO THE UTAH CITY Proposed Line Cuts Directly Through Town of Bountiful to Dismay of Cltizens—Guernsey ia Prolat. Burlington surveyors are now in the fleld engaged In selecting a route for the new western extension from Guernsey to Salt lake City, the bullding of which is now an open secrot, although no afll tion of the report has as yet been made at general headquarters in this city, The new route starts from Guernsey and crosses the state of Wyoming to the north of the Union Pacific, crossing that road west of Echo and the Oregon Short Line above Nutria A most desirable entry Into Salt Lake City is reported to have been secured. The prelimitary survey into the Mormon city provides for the line to leave the mouth of Waber canyon, near Uintah,thence following the old stage road to Salt Lake City over the bench and then south along the edge of the foothills, striking all the towns, but keeping to the cast until mear Bountiful, where the line turns to the southwest and shoots right through the heart of the town The prellminary survey shows tho accom- plishment of two important results—first, a line directly through the communities al- ready settled and well populated, and, second, an entrance into Salt Lake City east of all existing tracks. Citizens in Dismay. The people of Bountitul aro sald to be considerably exercised over the fact that the stakes for the Burlington's proposed extension are driven In the center of thriv- ing orchards, in streets and even at the corner of a school house, leaving the fm- pression in the minds of the residents that the railroad considers itself as having the right to remove the school house, destroy the orchards and monopolize the streets Bpeaking concerning this phase of the case a Burlington official said “The people of no community need fear any encroachment by a rafiroad for which full compensation is not made. State laws provide that a raliroad must obtain fran- chiges and Is responsible financlally for all damhges. Preliminary surveys are at all times merely tentative, for the purpose ot soeking the best route, and any damage to property caused by subsequent construction 15 at all times justly compensated.” RAILROAD STOCK I8 PAYING WELL. Union Pacif Large Increase in Surp pr Four Months. For the four months ending October 31 the ncrease in surplus of the Union Pacific over a stmilar period in 1899 was $502,397.24, or an average Increase of $126,600.31 per month. This showing 1s made in the finan- cial report compiled by Secretary Alex Millar and forwarded from New York to stockholders of the company, under dato of November 2. The constantly increasing business of the Unlon Pacific and the con- tinual increase in profit, when compared with 1899, considered to have bgen an ex- ceptionally good year in railroading, 1s a sourco of great eatisfaction to interested parties. Even though the percentago of gain 18 much In excess of a year ago, the improvements of all descriptions that are belng provided do not bring the percentage of increase fn expense up to the percentage of increase in rovenue, and steckholders are naturally jubllant with the manner in which tho affairs of the company are being provided.

This is regarded suffcient and nobody doubts that the offices of the two roads will be closed January 30. A very persisteat report has gained currency that in the adjustment of railrond affairs at the beginning of the year Richard B. Miller, assistant freight agent of the Oregon Rall- way and Navigation company, who has been acting general frelght agent since the de- parture of Mr, Woodworth a year ago, would be appointed general frelght agent, and that J. H. Lathrop. now general freight agent of the Unlon Pacific in Portland, would take the position of assistant frelght agent of the Oregon Rallway and Navigation company. 1t is also sald that W. E. Coman, now gen- eral agent of the Oregon Short Line in Port- land, will go to Puget Sound as agent of the freight department of the Oregon Rafl- way and Navigation company, and that E. E. Ellls, who is general agent of the company here, will confine his attention to passenger business.

Miller Speaks of the Clty's Resources Which He Believes StIL Virtually Untouched. Dr. George L. Miller addressed the Omaha Real Estate exchange at its regular weekly meeting Wednesday noon. Dr. Miller took an optimistic view of Omaha's future, de- claring that the city had but begun its growth. Among the factors for the up- building of the clty tho speaker referred par- ticularly to the rallroads, the increasing trade for jobbing houses and the natural advantages for manufacturing enterprises, He thought the time would come when the splendid water power near at hand would be utilized, and with such abundant and cheap power mnothing could prevent Omaha from becoming one of the greatest manufacturing centers in the country, Dr. Miller expressed his confidence in Omaha realty by declaring that if he had the means today he would buy acres upon acres of land and feel certaln of reaping the benefit of advancing value, Kill Germs of Disease.

Persons contemplating a trip to Europe will be interested in a recent decision of the Treasury department of the United States which has been sent to all collectors of customs in this country for their in- struction in collecting duties and fa pro- hibiting the importaticn of certain articles. The most Important decision is that which refers to the importation of wearing ap- parel and articles for the personal use of travelers. Under former decisions any article of personal apparel purchased abroad for the use of the purchaser, or articles of personal use, such as tollet cases, etc., could be brought to this country without the payment of duty, although they might not arrive in the personal charge of the traveler. Under the recent decision this privilego 18 denied and in order to escapo taxation the goods must arrive on the same vessel with the owner. When a purchase of sealskins is made evidence must be secured that the articles were made from the skins of seals not killed In the waters of the Northern Pacific ocean since the year 1897. There have been several cases where people have lost hun- dreds of dollars by making such purchases, a8 all sealskins, manufactured or unmanu- factured, imported to this country are sub- Jected to a rigid examination and should it appear that they come from animals killed in the Northern Pacific since 1897 they are confiscated and destroyed by the govern- ment. o Omaha stands high fa the ranks of those citles which furnish annually a large num- ber of visitors to Europe. Last year at least 300 residents of this city visited Eu- rope and not one of them but returned with some memento of his trip, while one of the visitors suffered the comfiscation of a sealskin sacque, Announcements of the Theater The box office man at Miaco's Trocadero 18 earning his salary these days, for he is kept busy from carly morning until Iate at night selling tickets to the Dainty Paree Burlesquers' show, the cur- rent attraction.

HALF MILLION DOLLARS ADDED TO LEVYES hilng and Street Car Com- ‘ind Thelr Tax BDurden Henvily Increased by Commin- ner Fleming's Estima Tax Commissioner Willlam Fleming's re- Port on the assessed valuation of personal property in Omaha for the year 1901 shows that the amount will be about $9,000,000. A partial report shows a total of $8,925,603 and the commissioner is confident that an additional $75,000 will be turned in during the next fow days. The assessed valuation for 1900 was $6,600,000, or $2,400,000 less than for the coming year. All property is assessed for 1901 on & basis of 40 per cent of the actual value, while the per cent was only 33% for the present year, but this small difference in the percentage of value taken does not ac- count for the great increase in the total. Tho change Is in the price which the com- wiesloner has placed upon the property of tho Omaha Water company, the Omaha Street Railway company, the Omaha Gas ccmpny, the Nebrska Telephone company and other corporations, In 1900 the Omaha Water company pald taxes on a valuation of $420,000. The com- missloner has increased this sum to $1,000,000 for the year of 1901, The Omaha Street Rallway company's assessed valua- tion has been ralsed from $426,000 to $1,000,- 000. The Omaha Gas company paid taxes for the present year on $380,000, and this amount has been swelled by the commis- sloner to §760,000 for the year of 1901. The amount on which the Nebraska Telephone ccmpany will pax taxes has been doubled and will be $150,000 for the coming year. The New Omaha Thomson-Houston Elec- tric Light company's assessed valuation has also been ralsed. All the banks of the city will pay taxes upon a valuation about 20 per cent greater than that of 1900. The assessed valuation of the personal property of these institu- tlons for the present year was $932,000 and the valuation for the incoming year ls slightly in excess of $1,100,000, The assessed valuation of personal prop- erty for 1900 was greater than in 1899, when the amount was $6,118,584. For the year 1898 the sum was still smaller, being only $5,625,523. — MIGRATION OF THE BOERS Alleged Appronch of Six Afr undred The well-authenticated report that 600 Boer families are now on their way from South Africa for the purpose of making settlement in this country has renewed the stir made n rallroad circles several months ago, when a similar report was in circula- tion. At that time both the Burlington and Union Pacific were known to be laying plans for securing the settlement of the Afrikan- ders in territory contiguous to their lines. The {information comes from rellable sources that such effort will be repeated in case the migration of the Boers is of as great extent as reported. General Passenger Agent Francls of the Burlington was the father of the move- ment to secure the settlement of the Boers in Nebraska or Wyoming, and the land de- partment of the Unlon Pacific has in mind the making of liberal offers to the Boers in case they wish to settle in any one of the numerous localities tributary to that line, offering inducements to the homesceker. Besides these roads representatives of the Santa Fe, Milwaukee, Northwestern, Rock Island, Northern Pacific and Great Northern are particularly active In preparation for the arrival of the Boer families, and the newcomers will lack no inducements to settle in whatever portion of the country may best suit thelr fancy. The unrivalled boquet that Cook's Im- perfal Extra Dry has, has made it a fa- vorite with all good judges. Race for Deputyship.
