DEATHS AND INJURIES
TO TRESPASSERS ON
RAILROADS INCREASING.
The Union Pacific has just Issued
figures showing that during the year
1314 there was an alarming increase
in deaths and injuries resulting from
trespassing upon their right-of-way.
During ,1913, there were 27 deaths
and 48 injuries; -while in 1914 thes
figures have been raised to 4S killed
uud 90 injured.
A small proportion of these acci
dents occurred to the class known aa
"hoboes," the balance to careless
ULers of the right-of-way. This proves
that "the short cut along railroad
tracks" is dangerous in the extreme,
not only to school children but to
working men who walk to work.
Any amount of caution exerted by
railroad employes will not materially
decrease the number of accidents oc
curring to trespassers, and it would
.'etm that the only procedure that
will shorten the list of fatalities is
for the state legislatures to pass laws
lhat will absolutely prohibit persons
other than railroad employes from us
ing the railroads' right-of-way.
The readers of this paper would be
cstounded upon hearing of a single
incident resulting in the death of 4
persons and the Injury of double that
number, and the accident would im
mediately be investigated and, if X'os
sible, the cause removed.
While these accidents to trespass
prs are scattered through a number
of states and occur at separated
periods, the total result is just as ap
palling. The responsibility rests upon
the general public and the State Leg
islatures and no effort should te
pred in taking the necessary pro
cedure to have this unnecessary loss
of life and limb entirely wiped out.

Alvin Ramge, the boss fine chick

doing a land office business in the egg
line this spring. He has shipped
eggs into fifteen different states this
spring, and is reaching out still
farther. The geese eggs have been
going the farthest from home, and
the demand for these eggs is growing
every year.

There never was a season so favor
able lor building and making im
provements around your farm home
as this one has been, and the activity
around the Murray lumber yard is an
evidence of this fact. More of all
grades of lumber is being sold this
spring than for many seasons. The
demand for good goods and the fact
that it can always be found at this
lumber yard at the right prices are
the causes for the increased business.
Mr. Kikendall is after the lumber
business of this locality, not only from
the fact that it is due him, but be
cause he is ready and willing to meet
all competition on the numerous
grades of lumber.
From Wednesday's Pally.
B. W. Bond, a bridgeman, who has
been assisting in the work of putting
in a coal chute at the boiler house at
the shops, met with quite a painful
accident Monday afternoon. He was
in a stooping position doing some
work, when one of the men also-en
gaged at the work at the chute was
swinging an adz, and as the tool came
back it came in contact with the head
of Mr. Bond and inflicted quite a
nasty gash on his head that necessit
ated the services of a surgeon to close,
and the gentleman will enjoy a vaca
tion from his duties for a short time,
as the wound, while not dangerous,
is quite painful.
Invection in the Air.
T.ledical authorities agree that colds
are infectious. In some cities children
with colds are barred from schools.
Spring's changing weather brings
many colds, ihe quickest and safe

Murray, - - - Nebraska
The mystery of the election of
George M. Porter as trustee of
Wyuka cemetery has been inquired
into by a number of people in the last
week, and has been only partially
solved. Mr. Porter was not a candi
date, and did not know that his name
was on the ballot until about three
uays before the election. .Moreover,
Mr. Wiggins, the member of Ihe board
whose term was expiring, has a good
record and everybody supposed that
he would be re-elected an :i maVieV
of course. A few friends of Mr. Por
ter wrote his name on their ballocs at
tne primary, and this gave him a
place on the regular election ballot.
The only possible explanation for his
success is that during many years cf
service as circulation man for the
Omaha Bee in Lincoln and surround
ing territory he made a good many
friends who quietly did enough boost
ing for him to put him over. Some of
the friends of Mr. Wiggins who voted
for Mr. Porter thinking that it was
only a complimentary vote wera
aghast when they saw what they had
done, for although they know he will
make a good "member of the board
they did not think of throwing out so
good a man as Mr. Wiggins. Mr. Por
ter is a young man who has a high
reputation for personal integrity and
general business competency. Lin

RESIDENCES IN
PLAITS MOUTH
Great Demand for l'p-fo-Dale Resi
dence Properly, and People Come
and Go Because it Cannot Re Had.
In the many things that are need
ed in the development of the city and
one that is constantly becoming more
and more pronounced, is the need of
more dwelling houses in this city that
can be had for rental purposes. This
fact of the scarcity of suitable houses
has been impressed upon our people
more and more as strangers coming
in here are placed right up against
it in finding a place to live, and it
would seem that some of the capital
ists of the city could find a good in
vestment for their money in the erec
tion of cottages or a large flat where
suitable modern apartments could be
rented at a good figure. There is al
ways a demand far greater than the
supply for residences.
If the city is to develop and in
crease in population it is certain that
there has got to be some place in
which the newcomers can reside, and
a great many of these desire to rent
property, while a few at once erect
homes of their own, and it is to pro
vide residences for the renters that
the demand is constantly growing.
There has been quite a number of
new houses erected here in the past
year, but these have in most cases
been rented even before the property
was finished, and the places could
easily be rented twice over, so great
has been the demand for the modern
residence property. The real estate
agents, as well as the business men
of the city, have been beseiged with
inquiries for houses for the past year
or two that has opened their eyes to
this one great need of the city, and
several of them have responded to the
general demand by erecting one or
two residences, and in each case the
investment has proven most profit
able. The rentals in this city have
increased greatly in value over that
of years gone by, and where former
ly $0, $8 or $10 was the price gen
erally paid for an ordinary sized
house it is easy now to command $15,
$20 and $25 for them, and in a great
many cases these residences are far
from being considered modern. This
would seem to indicate that the erect
ing of houses for rental would be a
good investment and those who have
tried the experiment report that they
are well repaid for their outlay.
Many of the buildings in the busi
ness part of the city have had the
second floors remodeled into fiats or
apartments and these are always oc
cupied at a good figure. This is one
of the chief needs of the hour and
one that demands serious consideration.
