In the first*place, a lot of freight rates must be seen to, as it is said Omabha is discriminated against in the matter of rates from various hay belts that should normally be consid- ered tributary to Omaha. Omaha is grossly discriminated against in rates on grain from the various grain belts, as well as in other commodities, and it is pointed out that there is no exception made in the matter of hay rates. i Next, the matter of paving some of the streets where the hay will be unloaded is to be taken up. Very few of the Omaha hay tracks are paved, and until this is done the amount of plugging of cars for inspection will depend on the weather, for it will not do to drag many bales of hay out of the car and throw them on the mud to be “plugged” for samples. J. C. Pederson, the new hay inspec- tor, has returned from Kansas City, where he went for a few weeks to get some pointers on methods, and has now opened a temporary office near Fourteenth and Izard streets. He will be ready to handle some of the new hay crop, wheih is expected to be.coming in in about two weeks. New School Building. West Point, June 17.—(Special.)— A handsome new " parochial school building will be dedicated on Tuesday at Monterey, eight miles southwest of this city. This parish-is a wealthy «1¢ and the school is the largest edu- cational institution in the county, having nearly 200 scholars. Enter- CONTRACTORS IN FIGHT WITH TIME Making Every Effort to Get Their Buildings Completed Within the Limit. RENEWED SPURT SINCE STRIKE Every effon\ is being made now by the contrdctors to get the various buildings under construction in the city finished by the expiration of the time limit in which they agreed to finish them. L This redoubled effort has been made since the building laborers re- the four weeks' strike which effec- tually tied up building operations at the time. The result of the renewed spurt of building activity is that the city is again ringing with building opera- tienis, and some of the big work_ is showing daily progress, The brick, terra cotta, and artificial granite work on the new First National Bank build- ing has shown marked progress in the last two weeks, and comparisons made from the amount accomplished in these two weeks indicate that by this time the brick walls might have been almost finished to the top of the steel skeleton if the strike had not oceurred.
