HALF MILLION FOR THE DEPOT Five Hundred Thousand Dollars to Be Spent Enlarging. MAKE ADEQUATE UNION STATION | Plans Need Only the ot | Smaller Roads to Them | Final Authority for Ex- ecution, Approval Give Tmprovements requiring an expenditure of $00,00 are contemplated In Union sta tion and detalled plans have been placed | in the hands of the officlals representing the elght roads having terminals in Omaha. Within a week or ten days it is expected | the answers of these roads will be re- celved and If three-fourths of them ap- prove the expenditure work of improve- | ment will’ begin, The Union Pacific Rallroad company, the bullder of the unlon terminal s, of course, the real power behind the movement. Some time ago It was announced Improvements | calling for an outlay of $109,000 were | planned, but this sum has been multiplied five times to fit the demands of traffic Increased passenger travel, which signi- fies progress for Omaha, is the real rea- son for this gigantlc move on the part of the rallroads. “Our present quarters are entirely inade- quate to handle the tremendous passenger traffic In Omaha,” says W. L. Park, gen-| eral superintendent of the Unlon Paelfic| rallroad. “We are only awaiting the re- plies of the other roads which enter the | Union swation to begin the work of im-| provement. Plans have been sent out| which specify an expenditure of $3000.0, | @nd we expeet to know the fate of the | proposition within a week or ten days. | traln west, Six of the eight roads, to my knowledge, heartlly approve the move.” Two New Tracks and Train Shed, One of the greatest lmprovements out- lined s the building of two additional tracks and a train shed. In the early morn- Ing hours between 7 and 8:80 o'clock the seven tracks at the station have been fourd inadequate to recelve the inbound traffic. Many trains have been compelled to halt outside the train sheds awaiting a clear track in order to unload passengers. Between 4:8) and 6 o'clock this same condi- tlon exists and the congestion of passen- gers causes delay with outgolng as well as with incoming train “Another jmprovement planned,” says Mr. Park, ‘“Is a walting room for emi- grants, As there is a continual drift of homeseekers to the lands west and a great influx of enfigrants is passing through Omaha, we have no suitable or adequate que rters to keep these peopl: housed during their wait in Omaha. It is a common sight to see big partles of emigrants huddled about the general wa!ting rcom or about the fencés waiting for thelr connecting This {s » problem with whi we have to deal, but' we hope to overcome the mingling of the general passengers with the emigrant element by segregating the two classes.” Waiting Room for Emigrants.

The utilization of space under the viaduet, which is now waste ground, will solve the difficulties. “What action the other roads will take on this proposition remains to be seen,” added General Superintendent Park. “Three roads, the Union Pacifio, the Chicago & Northwestern and the Rock Island, have the greatest traffic through union station. The other roads entering Union station are the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Illinols Central, the Wa- bash, the Chicago Great Western and the Miesouri Pacific. If three of these roads hold out it will mean that the improve- ments cannot be undertaken The larger raliroads have realized for a long time the necessity of making im- provements, and are willing to stand the outlay of considerable money. The only | thing that seems to stand in the way of the improvement appears to be the mat- Union station was bullt and s owned by the Union Pacific railroad. Other roads, | however, that have terminals in Omaha | have & voice In its management.

The Burlington Route, as s gen- |erally known, has a station apart from the others and ha no connection with the Union Depot compa NEW STAMP DEPARTMENT AT POSTOFFICE IS ABOUT READY Will Possess Many Features of Advantage to the General Publie. The new stamp department of the Omaha postoffice 1s about completed and will be for occupuncy early in the coming | week. It 1s located at the southeast corner | of the main work room of the postoffic across the main lobby from the money order office, In the quarters hitherto oc- cupled by the superintendent of carriers. The superintendent of carriers’ office will be removed to the location now used as | the general delivery room. The genera! delivery quarters will be removed to the north side of the main | work rooms west of its present location Four general delivery windows will be pro- | vided for the-accommodation of the public, instead of two as heretofore. The past due, over due and directory rooms will adjoin the general dellvery room, thus affording readier access to these depart- | ments. | With the transformation of the old car- | rler dellvery room Into the new stamp department, the Sunday noon delivers of | mall by carrlers will be made in the | general carriers’ distributing alsles, of | which there are three.

Most of the large boxes which | were shipped from the Seattle exposition afe unpacked and the exhibits in place. The basement will be fitted up and put |in better shape than ever since the expo- sition was buflt. Last year when the de- natured alcohol plant was in the same | room the floor was simply covered with sawdust. This year a good flooring has | been lald and the room decorated until it no longer looks like a basement. The gov- ernment has brought its own &ecorations and is fitting the room up in fine shape, One of the main features of the exhibit, as shown by the boxes already unpacked, will be the exhibit of the bureau of animal industry and this will be especlally inter- | esting to the farmers of the west. Consid- | erable space is given to models to show the proper care of horses' feet. Other ex- hibits show the best methods of dipping sheep and cattle. Auditorium Interlor Changed. A large force of workmen is fast rear- ranging the Interior of the Auditorlum | and bullding the annex for a home for the corn expositioh. The way the direc- tors have made additional space in the Au- | ditorium will be a surprise to many. The huge stage has been torn away and the | arena and stage space have been double- | decked, giving just twice as much space as last year. The celling of the lower floor |1s elghteen feet high, the girders being placed above the front rail of the gal- lery. This ceiling is supported by heavy plers. This arrafigement gives a huge audi- torlum upstairs for the formal exercises and for the band concerts. It also provides the additional room occupled by the stage for the State university exhibits. The roof 1s on the Auditorfum annex and soon the big bulldings will be ready for the in- stallation of all exhibits, COST OF BANDIT TRIAL NOT | OVER SEVENTY THOUSAND | | This Covers Everything that Fig- ured in the Conviction of } These Five Men. | There has been more or less wild specu- |1ation as to the actual cost of the appre- hension, trial and conviction of the Over- | the estimates | running from $25,000 to $200,000.

These will Include the court costs for the two grand jurles petit juries, preliminary hearings, both in Omaha and Idaho, witness fees and ex- and the maintenance of the five prisoners in the Douglas county jall. About $,100 will cover the costs taxed from the 1daho end of the line. The cost to the Union Pacifie, the $%5,000 reward offered by pany, will not exgeed $40,000 The Postoftice department will be at no additional cost other than for tle 5,000 reward offered.

Bull of Minnesota, vice president of the National Corn exposition, In charge ot the small grain department, has arrived to look after the installation of the exhibits, Mr. Bull is one of the ploneers in the m; ter of seed breeding. Some time ago Mlnr sota, under his direction, spent $40,000 in wheat breeding, and it s now estimatea this sum has been returned to the state 1,000-fold for the expenditure. Through the experiments conducted by Mr. Bull, the corn belt of the country has also been ex- tended forty miles to the north in Minne- sota. Pay-as-you-enter Cars In view of the fact that this Company will place Pay-As-You-Enter cars on the Farnam line within a few days, we want to say a few words to passengers on the subject. Pay-As-You-Enter car8 differ from other cars in that the passenger pays his fare to the conductor on the rear platform as he enters the car, obtaining at the same time a transfer, if one is desired; also in the fact that there are two separate doors at the rear of the car, one_ for the entrance of passengers and one for the exit, and that the door at the front end of the car is used as an exit only. The advantages of this type of car are: First: That the conductor is on the rear platform at all times in a position to see that the step js clear before he gives the signal to start the car, thus insuring passengers against aceident; Second: Avoiding the necessity of the conductor pushing his way through a crowded car, jostling passengers in doing so; Third: The cars load and unload simultaniously, thereby avoiding the usual delay at busy corners. Fourth: Avoiding the possibility of a second demand for fare, inas- much as passengers pay when they enter, and there can be no question of their having paid The Pay-As-You-Enter system has been put in successful operation in New York, Chicago, is well liked wherever introduced. We ask the public to co-operate with us in having their fare ready before they board the cars. . Louis and other large cities of the country, and Omaha & Council Bluffs treet Railway Co.
