IT WANTS SOME ENLARGEMENTS Hairs " Proportion" It Handle Mora Bailors Thn Oiuuha, bat Flam re Don't Brir Oat the Claim. I Lincoln Is complaining because Oman la receiving (air consideration at th hands of the railroads in the way of new build ings and no preparations are mad tor Lincoln. It la pointed out that Omaha is to have two new headquarters buildings and two new freight houses and Improve ments to th Union station, while nothing is to b done for Lincoln. In the complaint Llnooln avers that It has given and le oelved larger tonnage from the railroads "In proportion'" than Omaha. The Omaha Commercial club could not figure out Just what was meant by "in proportion," so a letter was written to the State Railway commission for ome figures on the receipts and shipments for Lincoln and Omaha. These figures fall to reveal what It meant by "In proportion." Iter are jmo of the figures: On state shipments Omnia forwarded 100.0u0.000 pounds, while ii- cold forwarded 29,000,000; on Interstate jhlp- menta Omaha forwarded lol.OOO.OOO pou.t.ls to .000,0n0 pounds for Lincoln, during tne fiscal year ending June 30. On freight received Omaha shows J1V000 000 pound against 42.O0O.O0O for Lincoln on state business and 244.000,000 on interstate hui ness against M.000,000 pounds for Llncn It Is Interesting to note that Fremont forwarded in carload Interstate buslnss 14. OWO.OOO pounds, us against 5,801,000 for Lin coln. Members of the Commercial club are ask ing this question: "If 'in proportion' refers to the number of railroads entering the city, why can Lincoln make the claim It does when It also claims that It baa better railroad facilities than Omaha?" "1 am disposed to believe that the rail roads are building greater plants and facilities In Omaha because they need them to handle the business here and are not building them in Lincoln because they do not need them there, finding their present facilities ample tor the demands," said an Omaha business man, who took the view that railroads as a rule expend millions in buildings and other Improvements for business reason and not for sentiment.

Implement dealers of Omaha and Council iiluffs and In fact of tha entire country are entirely sold out of bob sleds or runnera for delivery wagons. There are none ot thesa to ba had 'at any of the factories. Omaha dealers laid In an extra heavy supply this fall In anticipation of a good business this winter, but tha de mand has been unprecedented and th supply Is gone. It Is Just the aama- all over the country, aa nearly, all parts of tha United States have been covered with snow this winter, and It has staid for a lunger Mm than usual. . Offender Langht nt Court and la Die charged -Old Law Inoperative Because It Caatcht a For mer Councilman. The city of Omaha is without a law to control traffic, but a measure is goon to be presented to the council which will make the observance of the rules of th road compulsory. The discovery of the lack of auch an ordinance curie when In police court a prisoner arrested by W. R. Wilson, traffic officer at HlxUxnth and Karnam streets, defied the charges and the court. He had driven persistently along the left sldo of the street and cut corners to suit him self. In court he maintained that It waa his right to drlvo as he pleased.' An investigation proved that the ordi nance passed a long time ago was no longer operative and the defendant was discharged. The suspension of the old ordinance In volves a tale. At the Instance of Dr. J. C. Davis, then a member of the council, a measure was pushed which embodied the long established rule of the road. It hup pened that soon after the measure became effective Dr. Davis himself became the firet victim. Irate and disgruntled, he In stigated a movement which resulted in the pabsaue of a resolution wntcn siieived the new ordinance. That resolution is still In effect. Officer Wilson has taken the matter up with Chief Donahue and steps will be taken at once to have an ordinance framed which will really give th traffic sauna some power. Th Commercial club has also become interested In the matter and a commute will co-operate In the formu lation of a proper mtasur. The present state of affair makes the observance of the rule merely optional on the drivers and automoblllsts. Marshal Warner Authorises Sale of Bankrupt's Coal to Sufferers in Vicinity of Hecla. United States Marshal W. P. Warner aent out a llttlo telegram Thursday evening that caused all sorts of Joy up at Hecla, Hooker county, and resulted in breaking a serious coal famine there.

Cwuiiinitce, City Bacteriologist Reports Infor mally on Four Samples. C0NNELL ANNOUNCES A CLEANUP Health Commissioner Says Steps Will Bo Taken to nemovo Condition Responsible for Impurities In the Water. Dr. Millard Langfeld, city bacteriologist, has submitted to Health Commissioner Connell a report giving the results of re cent tests of city water. The report is not at all favorable, quite th contrary. In fact. i Four samples of water wore gathered on January 3 at th following locations: The Field club,' Twenty-fourth and Ames, 4014 South Thirteenth, Forty-second and Dodge. "All are equally bad." says the city bacteriologist, without further comment. Of three samples taken from the Walnut Hill reservoir Dr. .angfeld says two are to b classed the same as the four above, and on la even worse. Speaking of tho report of his bacteriolo gist, Dr. Connell said: "Today we are taking samples at the Florence station and at the Burt street Station. If It proves that contamination exists and that It cornea from tha river, there 1 nothing we can do until whatever condition above Omaha that Is responsible can be abated. If, however, we find that the fault Is In the settling baBins, then w shall Immediately get busy to have the unsanitary condition corrected; and ther will be no foolishness about It, either," Sample of milk examined by Dr. Lang- fald from two large concerns shows 10,000 bacteria in tha case of one company, and but 2,000 In the other. This showing Is con sidered as Indicating that the milk Is ot very high quality.

Policeman Pool took on peep at the eggs and then began doing guard duty, He did the guardsman's stunt for an even twenty minutes, until th farmer returned.
