THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1907.
FAIR CROWDS BREAK RECORD
Thursday Banner Day, with Twenty
Four Special Trains.
INFLUX IS SIMPLY ENORMOUS
fill'' ''"'" Arr Prepar
l.io Accommodate the Hordes
f that Will Visit Ak-Sin
flrn In Omaba.
T! o 2-n nt t:,rr or something; unusual lis
livn th rnans of hrraklng all rpoords of
attrndamc at the state fair. JSople have
pourfd Into Lincoln like fugitive into n
city cf refuse during the Wfck. Railroads
havs twen put to their utmost capacity In
ordnr to accommodate the traffic? and thoy
havon't floured out yet where they have
tout any ftrat amount of money. As glvlnd
some Idea of what enormous crowds have
irone to this mecca of amusement this week
It may be said Monday the Burlington alone
hauled six special trains, Tuesday It
carried twenty-two specials, Wednes
day twenty-four and Thursday a few more,
going- up the srsle gradually each day.
Additional facilities have been devised at
the fair grounds for handling the terrible
Influx. Judging from the mammoth crowds
that have gone to I.lnooln Ak-Snr-Uen
governors and the railroads are wondering
what will happen when His Majesty the
King calls In his faithful subjects from
the north, east, south and west of Qulvera
for the grand fentlvnl from September 25 to
October 6. It Is anticipated that never has
so vast an army of the faithful treked Into
the capital city as will hit the pike when
the call of the king Is sounded.
The lallroads are making every possible
preparation to defend themselves.
Street tars Fall to Arrive.
"We expect to be able to handle the
Ak-8ar-Ben crowds In fine shape this fall
In spite of the fact that the thirty new
cars which were ordered for fall delivery
have not arrived." said U C. Nash, super
Intendent of tho Omaha & Council Bluffs
Street Railway company. 'Isst year we
had thirty new, large cars ordered for full
delivery and they did not nrrlve until after
Jrt(-8ar-Ben week, so we have those thirty
r cars In addition to what we had last year.
This should give us enough added equip
ment to handle the business In pretty fair
shape. .
Hill Ioals Come First.
The Burlington and Great Northern will
be given the first hearing In the protest of
the railroads against the proposed 10
per cent reduction In the grain rates, which
the state railroad commission has an
nounced It proposes to put Into effect In
Nebraska. The two roads mentioned will
have their hearing Monday nt Lincoln be
fore the state railway commission. The
legislature amed a 15 per cent reduc
tion In rates and now the commission pro
poses to make an additional 10 per cent
reduction.
Ilarrlman Com Inst F.nst.
E. It. Harrlman Is enroute east from
California and Portland, where lie has
been for the last few weeks Inspecting his
Interests on tho Pacific coast. He left Green
River Friday morning and is expected to
arrive In Omaha about 4 a. m. Saturday
morning. A. I Mohler, general manager
and vtce president of the Union raclflc,
has gone west to meet Mr. Harrlman.
WEST VERITABLE DREAMLAND
Coaatrr Beyond the Hookies Land of
Wonders, Kays William Bruce
LefJIngwell.
William Bruce Ijefnnrwrll, a noted au
thor, traveler and lecturer, was In Omaha
for a few hours Friday on his way home
from in extended trip through the west,
northwest, Alaska and Yukon Territory.
Speaking of his Impression of tho places he
visited, Mr. Iefflngwell said:
"It Is the Christian duty of every man
and woman who can afford the expense of
the trip to visit the country west of the
Rocky mountains. It is a veritable dream
land continuous Journey of delight.
Alaska Is but little understood by the ma
jority of people In the states. I may con
tribute an article for The Sunday Bee
about the resources and possibilities of one
of our richest possessions.
"During the last three years I have tra
versed by land and sea over 40.000 miles.
I am a close observer and a student of na
ture, as you have doubtless noticed In the
numerous books I have written. I expect
to deliver a great many Illustrated lectures
the coming season. I have a considerable
repertoire: 'Picturesque New Zealand.'
'Industrial New Zealand,' 'New South
Wales.' 'The People and Islands of South
western Seas," 'From the Rockies to the
Sea,' 'Alaska,' and one which I am sure
will meet with favor everywhere, entitled
'My Native Land.' I have arranged to
deliver a series of fifty lectures on this
latter subject In the middle and eastern
states, beginning early In December.
"Just think for a moment what 'My Na
tive Lund' embraces the territory from the
Gulf of Mexico to the British possessions,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific; Just con
alder the vast store of scenic wealth I have
to draw from. Then Imagine the most
beautiful of American scenery reproduced
tn the most artistic manner in colors the
' Delicacy of Japan silk and with an abun
dance of animated pictures to enliven the
lecture, and you will conceive what It will
be."
Mr. Lefflngwcll was educated for the bar;
he Is a well known public speaker. With
his pleasing personality, his great experi
ence as an entertainer and the high charac
ter of his entertainments, he Is achieving
more than ordinary success.

An imitation takes for its
pattern the real article.
There was never an Imitation
made of an imitation. Imitators
always counterefit the genuine
article. The genuine is what you
ask for, because genuine articles
are the ones with merit. Imita
tions come and go; they are not
advertised, but depend for their
business on the ability of the
dealer to sell you something
claimed to be "Just as good"
when you ask for the genuine, be
cause he makes more profit on the
imitation. Why accept imitations
