Announcement Is made that the Union
Pacific, beginning Sunday, will again try
the experiment of carrying local pesen
gers on the Overland Limited trains Nos.
I and 2, leaving Omaha at 8:50 a. m. and
arriving at Omaha at 9:40 p. m. A limit,
however. Is plsoed on the sales, the num
ber being regulated by the unsold space
of the sleeping cars and the tickets to be
old to and from the stations at which
these trains are scheduled to stop. These
trains are composed only of Pullman cars
and the seating capacity Is limited-, but
local passengers will be carried where un
sold space will perrr.lt.
This Is the second backup the Union Pa
cific has made within a week on the orders
which were Issued about a month ago that
local passengers would not be carried on
trains Nos. 1, 2, 7 and 9, the Overland
Limited and the Los Angeles Limited. Bo
treat was the public clamor against this
order that a week ago the embargo was
removed In regard to the Los Angeles
Limited, but that did not satisfy the trav
eling public and a second order has now
gone forth granting permission to ride on
the Overland Limited.
Serloas Problem at Haaa.
A serious problem confronted tho railroad
men. The trains being limited carried no
day coaches and were models of luxury.
Not only were they the principal trains
which went west' from Omaha In the morn
ing, but their elegance was an extra In
ducement for the public to seek out these
trains In preference to (he other, although
an extra price was exacted by the Pullman
company for seat fare.
The railroad men claimed that while the
through passengers were at breakfast at
Omaha the local passengers would fill up
the smoking compartments and the bertha
and the rear of the observation car until !
the through passengers, who were at break
fast, could find no seats. To remedy this
difficulty and protect the through passen
gers the order. was Issued that no more
local tickets would be honored on these
trains. A storm of protests Immediately
went up and the railroad soon realized that
mistake had been made. The railroads
could not well defend Its position, because
it did not furnish sufficient local service In
the morning to care for the passengers who
wished to go west at that time. A train
leaves about 7:30 a. m., a alow local, and
that was the only morning train. This
service did not meet the demand and some
thing had to be done. The officials could
not see their way clear to put on extra
trains to care for the local business, so they
had to take the other horn of the dilemma
and let the people ride on the limited
trains.
oath End of lllaola Central.
President J. T. Harahan has Issued the
twenty-sixth annual report of the Yazoo
A Mississippi Valley railroad, this road be
ing the southern end of the Illinois Central
system, and comprises 1,239 miles of road.
The report shows the road to havo been
most prosperous. President Harahan says
In his report:
The gross receipts from traffic during
the year were $9,499,669.89, an Increase of
1828,408.66. or 9.56 per cent over the previous
year. The net receipts, after deducting
operating expenses and taxes, were In
creased $114,416,63 over last year.
The tons of revenue freight carried In
creased 806.919, or 13.84 per cent. The aver
age receipts per ton mile decreased from
1.24 mills to 7.50 mills, or 8.98 per cent. This
Is due to a greater tonnage of low grade
commodities carried this year.
The expenses of operation exceeded those
of the previous year:
In maintenance ot way and Pet.

Heaviest If omeseekera Day.
"Tuesday saw the heaviest travel of real
ttomcseekers to the west the state has
ever seen," said a prominent railroad mau
Friday. "They were real buyers and the
state Is In a most recipient mood for all
who come along. The recent splendid
weather lias put the state In such condition
that tt Is just right to show off well and
the buyers have been getting In their work.
Many sales . have already been reported
from this last excursion and more are yet
to come. Nebraska iand is still the big In
vestment and the people of the middle states
re Just awakening to the fact. It has
been a long time since there was a crop
failure and there Is no Immediate prospect
of another. The state la settling v, and
the moisture la the better conserved each
Tear."

Laaafeer Rates from Boat a.
Now that the railroads have announced
an advance In the rates on lumber from the
Paclflo coast, the lumber dealers are lis
tening for the first auggestlon from the
railroads of a raise In the rates from the
south. The dealers believe the railroads
will attempt It, If they are successful In
putting In effect on November 1 their new
tariff on western lumber. But the manu
facturers of the Pacific coast have gathered
a fund of $XO,000 to fight the advance be
fore the Interstate Commerce commit" Ion
and In the United Statea courts If need be.
An advance In rates from the south would
contribute as much to higher prices as the
advance from the west, for all the yellow
pine used In this part of the country comes
from the southern forests.
