Extending the limits of the homcscckcr
excursions by the Northern Pacific nnd tl
Great Northern roads Is not causing ar
anxiety to the passenger officials of tl
roads centering In Omaha. The oxtenslc
will bo met by these roads In time for tl
next excursion , March 1 , and there wl
probably bo no effort In the future to restrl
the Hold to the original llmltfl. H Is m
anticipated that any rate war will follo\ \
unless the northern lines , again dlssatlsfU
with their share of this business , seek to It
crease It by making n lower rate , which
cousldered not likely.
By Including Pacific coast points wlthl
the operation of the homcscokors' excursioi
the northern roads have really done whi
the southern lines would have thorn do.
Is n concession the latter would have boc
pleased to make could It have been dor
without danger of disorganizing the trafll
but now that the extension has rome fro
other quarters It will bo gladly met and tl
new order of things made permanent.
"U IB Just what wo want , " said an Omal
passenger man. "Thorn has never been
more favorable year for bringing homi
Beckers from the east to the agriculture
grazing and mining lands of the west nt
the roads In tali part of the country wolcon
the opportunity they will now have to coi
tribute to the further settlement of th
Hcctlon. When a man can go to Florida ar
buy an orange grove , paying for his tram
portatlon nt the rate of $25 for the rour
trip from Chicago , nnd when ho can go i
Texas and other southern points and bt
cotton lands at about the same rale , thoi
is no good reason why ho should not all
be privileged to go to the far west and set
a homo there.
"Some roads cxprctfl n fear that the 03
tension of these excursions will Increase tl
field of operation by the scalpers , but thi
Is all bosh. By the use of the Schastln
ticket the work of the scalper can bo he !
douii to u minimum. Out of our hca\
business in this line last year the numbi
of tickets which paraed Into the hands i
the scalpers was Inflnltcsimally small. V
liavo no fear on this score under the no
order. Wo will meet the extension mai
by the northern roads In time for our ne :
oxcursloit nnd will do what wo can to brlr
the renters from the eastern states out <
the plains of the west , whcro they can hi
a homo of their own nt a small figure.
"Thrio isn't a state west of the MRSOU
river which cannot accommodate thousam
of immigrants. It will take several yea :
of active work before even the states ai
joining the river can bo said to bo ful
nettled. Then , why shouldn't the rallroai
make a low rate to homoseokers and gi
them out hero ? If they do not desire 1
locate In Nebraska or Colorado let them j
to the states farther west. It nil helps i
1mlId up the transmlssourl country and wl
indirectly benefit this state as well ns a
the railroads doing business in this Beetle
of the country. "
A larger number of harvcet excurslonls
passed through on the morning trains tha
for some time past. These excursions starti
Tuesday , and , while some passengers wei
carried on the afternoon trains of that da
the hulk of them went through yesterday , tl
afternoon trains also'carrying a goodly nun
her. The Burlington did a good buslnei
nnd the Union Pacific had to put on c
extra car to accommodate them. The Ro (
Island traffic was also largo. The Burllngtc
passengers -were going to the central ar
north-central parts of Nebraska , with son
for Colorado points. The Union Pacific tot
Us passengers to western Nebraska and
number to Colorado and Utah points. Tl
Itock Island tratllc was largely for Kansi
nnd Oklahoma.

Dr. B. K. Crummer , secretary of the Slat
Hoard of Health , In dlscussiiiR the propose
sanitary legislation explains thu 1)111 ( H. 1
351) ) appropriating $1GOO for the use of 111
hoard to provlilo for expenses Incurred dm
ing the present epidemic of smallpox said :
"During December citizens of Nc
brankn C'lty appealed to the govoruc
State Hoard c
as a member of the
Health for assistance In stamping on
smallpox. Wo had no funds for the put
pose , but the governor . ilvlsod that wo talt
suoh steps asvo could lawfully to quc
the threatened epidemic. Dr. Towno wa
appointed health Inspector for the state nn
bpent six weeks in different places , tryln
to enforce proper sanitary regulations. 1
\\as found that the expense already Incurrc
could not bo met with an ordinary hcalt
Mil nnd Its accompanying appropriation , n
it could only apply to the future , hence th
passage of an emergency bill. This enioi's
oncy bill becomes a law without conforrln
sanitary powers on the board. Wlthoti
sumo mandatory law wo can only ailvla
sanitary measures and have no power to
their enforcement.
"What wo need Is that the board have th
power to enforce. Its demands , and provide
penalty for these refusing to comply wit
them. We found this necessary after ou
experience at Nebraska City. Many peopl
would not pay any attention to the rcguln
lions of the health Inspector , and wo coul
not enforce them.
"Wo need in this state a sufficient appro
prlatlon to omplay a state Inspector wh
will keep the records of the board , compll
statistics , and bu always at the call of local
Itlcs whcro unusual epidemics of any kin
occur. With this and some funds for print
Ing and disseminating literature on saiilta
tlon and public health the amount of sick
ness In our state could bo much curtailc
and many lives saved.
"Tho supreme court of Georgia rocentl
decided that the legislature of the nt.it
may , in the excrclsu of Its police power !
confer on municipal corporations of th
state authority to make find enforce ordl
nancca requiring all persons within thel
limits to submit to vaccination whonovr
epidemic of smallpox Is existing or ma
bo easily apprehended. However , fc
municipal corporations to compel vaccinn
tlon , the court holds they must have ex
press authority from the legislature.
"Therefore It would seem that If wo ar
to have any power sufficient to absolute !
control a baxl epidemic wo must have sue
authority as the health bill now bofor
the house will give. "
