The Omaha Bee has kept pace with the growth of the automobile business in this part of the world. It is in the forefront. 1910 will be a big year for the automobile industry in Nebraska and western Iowa. Many pres- ent owners will want new oars, and business prosperity has made it possible for many people who have never before owned automobiles to become 'purchasers this year.

The generosity of Mr. Edmund- son has practically placed the Jennle Ed- muhdson Memorial hospital, which is con- ducted by thé' Woman's Christlan Asso- clation free from the burden of debt under which it had been laboring for some time. A’ few months, ago Mr. Edmundson, who made the association a life-loan of $40,000 to assist in the érection of the new hospital building on Bast Plerce street, offered to cancel the amount of back In- terest due him and donate to the hospital 5,860 in addition, provided the women of the association would raise before Feb- ruary 1, $3,200, which together with his proposed donation would relieve the asso- clation of all its indebtedness in connec- tion with the hosiptal. The women of the association headed by Mrs. O. H. Lucas, who had charge of the canvass to collect the amount needed. have succeeded, as. will' be seen by the follow- ing letter recelved Thursday evening by Mrs, Lucas and made public by her yester- day: 0, February 2, 1810.

Members of the association are naturally rejolcing in the fact that the hospital at last is ‘practically free of debt. An intérest payment of $1,00 will be due April 1,”but the women feel sanguine that they will be able to meet it. After the April payment, it is believed that the in- come of the hospifal will suffice to meet all current expenses, including the interest on the $#0,000 loan. Since the erection of the new hospital many additiogs and fm- provements were. found abwolutely neces- sary and the cost of these overtaxed the resources of the assoclation and left it with o burden of debt, which is now lifted through the g@herosity of Mr. Edmundson, and of those who so freely contributed to make It possible for the assoclation to take advantage of his offer.

FROBE WORKING IN NEW YORK Rallronds and Poultry Deslers [maue mtements Kxonerating Selve NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—With the grand Jury and prosecutor of Hudson county, New Jersey, Investigating the food situation as alfected by cold storage reperves and the setvice of the common carriets, both the rallroads and the New York Poultry and Game Trade association came out today with explanations of their part in the Ligher cost of living. All the rallroads from the west have thelr fréight terminals In Jersey City (Hudson county), and most of the packers have thelr slaughter houses and cold storage plants adjacent to the freight yards. The freight agents of the Lackawanna raflroad, the Erle and the Pennsylvanis and the managers of Swift and Comp: plant and three other refrigerating houses testifled today before the grand jury. Incidentally it developed that the United States government is the principal customer of the Union Terminal Cold Storage coms pany of Jersey City, one of the laryest plants under Investigation. The supplies are used to feed the various garrisons near New York. Representatives of the eastern raliroads issued tonight a statement in part as foj- low “At a time when active efforts are being made to fix the responsibility for higher prices 1t should be made plain that the raflroads have not been i any way res sponsible for the increase in the cost of living. They have been the Vvietims of high prices without benefiting frem them at all. If beef, pork, flour or any othey commodity costs more now than It cost ten years ago, not even the fraction of & ceny can be charged to transportation. Figures gathored by the Interstate Commeérce 0om~ mission show that freight rates have stead. {ly declined.” The game and poultry deslers said In part: “If the storing of poultry in its natural state is prohibited, it will open up #n in- dustry of canning it, and it is far mofy wholesome, In our opinion, when frozen than when canned.
