For more than a week, out In Ne
btaska, King Com has been waging a
fierce battle with heat and do weather,
but at last the king has won. Rains have
spread over practically the entire west
halt of the state and it U fott that In
some localities with limited areas, fully
an average crop Is assured.
The rain came Thursday night and ln
many places It was torrential, flooding
valleys and washing out railroad tracks.
It came following higher temperature and
Is said to hac revived vegetation of all
kinds and given new jife to the growing
crops. The rain came In from the moun
tain dUtrlcts and spread over Nebraska
from the western border to a line drawn
north and south from Niobrara down
through Ncflgh. Knox; Albion, Boone:
Central City, Merrick; Geneva, Fillmore,
and Hebron, Thayer counties. Every
where west of this line there was an
abundance of rain, with scattering show
ers farther, east,
llaltroad reports show the precipitation
on their line to have been aB follows:

City, Broken Bow and Litchfield, 1 Inch.
Dozens of places on each of the three
roads named report from one-fourth to
one Inch, and hardly a point in the west
- half of the state failed to report some
rain.
Little damage was done by the steady
downpour that set In early Thursday
evening and continued most of the night.
The Union Pacific sustained a washoutl
of 400 fet of track between Miller and
Sumner on the Callaway branch. There
the rain assumed tho proportions of a
cloudburst, tho water coming down the
valley of a small creek and carrying away
everything in Its course. Both grain and
railroad men feel certain that In the sec
tion ytstted by the rain the corn crop
will be materially benefited. In some
sections of the state where the rain fell
the hot weather had damaged the corn
badly, especially In the. southwest, where
the tassels had commenced to fire. Tho
moisture, with .the cool weather follow

to a minimum.

'o. Advortlso-
While they assert they have done every
thing In their power to prevent It, rail
road freight men contend that within the
next sixty days the central west will face
tho most acute car shortage In the his
tory ot the country. Already It Is begin
ning to be felt at tho grain shipping cen
ter's and cars for carrying wheat to mar
ket aro at a premium.
With the Omaha sidings full of empty
freight cars twenty days ago. today there
arc hardly enough available to handle the
dally shipments which are 'constantly Increasing.
Wheat receipts Into Omaha from the
country are now running around 100 cars
per day and as the grain Is bringing good
prices on the eastern markets, instead of
remaining in storage, it moves out as
soon as it can be passed through the ele
vators. This doubles the number of cars
required to handle the business and as
this Is only one of a dozen big grain
centers, It Is easy to figure out that an
enormous drain Is being made on the
rolling stock of the roads centering here.
Added tq this, tho in shipments ot mer
chandise are tho hoavlest in years. Job
bers laying in heavy stocks to meet the
demands of tho fall trado that is setting
In and gives promise of being unprece
dented. More Cnra for Merchandise.
Hallrbad men say that there are fully
twlco the number of cars engaged In haul
Ing merchandise that there wero one year
ago and three to four times oa many as
five years ago. Then, too, there Is
trouble with the cars for coal. For haul
ing coal regular freight cars are used
and there Is a big demand for them for
this purpose.
Usually the Jobbers stock up during tho
summer with their hard coal. This sum
mer they have done nothing ot the kind
and up to this date not one-fourth ot
(he winter Bupply of hard coal has been
received. Prloc's at the mine and at the
big eastern centers were not thought to
be right and consequently western Job
bers held back with their orders. Now,
With the summer waning and no indica
tions of a low price they are hustling in
their orders for delivery before Sentember
1, at which time an advance at the mines
and also by Jobbers Is anticipated.
Hlght now the demand for cars for
coal is abnormally heavy and this has
resulted In large numbers of cars being
taicen out ot the grain carrying trade,
all of which, It Is contended is going
io nayc a tendency to maKe tho car
shortage greater than last year.
