Uncle Sam Inspects
All the Locomotives
and Condemns Some
Po you know that the United States
government Inspects the locomotives , of
all tho railroads In the country?
Uncle Sam has been doing that now
for over four years and ha has made a
good job of It, for the number of per
sons killed and Injured by the failure
of locomotive boilers or their appurten
ances to work properly haa decreased
from 91 killed and 1,006 Injured in 1912 to
only IS killed and 467 Injured In 1915.
Two of the fifty locomotive Inspectors
employed by the government throughout
the country have their offices in Omaha.
They are J. P. Kane and John Welsh.
"There are about 4,000 locomotives In
our district, comprising Nebraska and
Iowa," said Mr. Kane. "The railroads
are required to send In reports periodic
ally on all locomotives. And the in
spectors are apt to drop In anywhere at
any time, like a bank examiner, and sea
that the condition of a locomotive la up
to the report made on It."
The department sends Inspectors to In
vestigate the cause of all accidents to
locomotive boilers and by this system
and scientific study many of the old
causes of explosions and other accidents
are being eliminated.
The number of locomotives inspected
throughout the country in 1915 was 73,443,
if which 32,866 were found defective and
of the latter number 3,027 were ordered
, out of service. The percentage of loco
motives found defective has decreased
steadily from 66 per cent in 1913 to only
44 per cent In 1915.

OMAHA BANKS SHOW
ENORMOUS GAINS
Seventeen Million Increase in De
posits Over Last Year Showi
City's Marvelous Prosperity.
MONEY LOANED OUT TO WORK
Three national banks in Omaha at
the present time each have greater
d posits than any previous record of
the highest. This was shown by the
statement issued In response to the
call of the comptroller of currency
for a statement of conditions for the
close of business March 7. The three
banks which beat all previous rec
ords are the Omaha National, First
National and the United States Na
tional.
The aggregate deposits In the
banks in Omaha Increased over
$17,000,000 in the last year, aa
shown by a. comparison of the pres
ent statement with that of March 4,
1916.
They Increased $13.5n.000 over the ag
gregate deposits at the last general call
less than two months and a half ago.
Tha loans Increased nearly IU.000,000 In
the year.
They Increased over 38.000.000 In the lit-!
tie over two months since tha last call.
Reasow for tho Gala.
Bankers attribute the great Increase to
several causes, in the first place they
call attention to the fact that deposits
are apt to show a high level in the early
part of March, as money la pouring In
to take care of the mortgages that are be
ing taken up throughout the state on
farms. March 1 is settlement time In all
matters relating to transfer of farms,
either rentals or purchases, and mort
gages. 1
Nevertheless the statements enow a
substantial Increase over the March state
men of a year ago, and there is no rea
son why the "March rise," as bankers
call It, should not have shown its effect
then in a proportion equal to that at
present shown.
Peeking about for other causes then.
bankers say that money haa been flow
ing In In great volumea on account of
the marketing of the great cropa of the
last summer, particularly the wheat and
what is marketable of tha corn crop,
which is bringing a good price. Also
they direct attention to tha fact that live
stock Is bringing a good price and that
record recelpta of live stock are being
reported constantly at tha stock yards,
where hogs sre now nearing the 10-cent
mark.
The heavy loans shown by the state
ments la said to Indicate that the bank
ers expect tha deposits to remain high
for sometime.

No Longer Does Car
Shortage Bother
Local Railroads
The freight car chortsge that has
maintained on the western roads for sev
eral months has automatically solved
itslf and all the lines operating In and
out of Omaha again have plenty of
grain-carrying cars.
The solution of the freight car ahortage
has been brought about by tha return
of spring, bad roads In the country and
the gradual decline In prices during the
last month.
Word reaches headquarters of the rail
roads that out in tha country farmers
have almost ceased marketing grain and
that the recelpta promise to continue
falling off for several weeks to come. As
a result, it Is expected that stocks In
storage in elevators, in the event tha
embargo on shipments from Atlantic
ports Is raised, will be almost entirely
cleaned out before tho movement to mar
ket again (eta In.
At all gulf ports, it is asserted, the
embargo has been raised and that cargoea
have again commenced to move to
Europe. The same is expected to occur
shortly with referenoa to tha Atlantic
coast ports.
After further discussion of the
e.eotrlc light situation, the city coun
cil committee of the whole decided
to give the Omaha Electric Light
and Power company an opportunity
to submit another proposition and at
the same time the city will secure an
estimate of the cost of a municipal
electric light and power plant.
The . city 1 commissioners would
favor a proposal that the light com
pany Install the new street lighting
equipment and furnish the current,
subject to the purchase of the plant
at any time t" e city might decide,
The company wants a f ve-year con
tract.
It was the sense of tha committee of
the whole that sn electrical engineer ahall
furnish the. city plans and specifications
for a municipal light plant, for which a
bond Issue may be submitted next fall
at the general election. It is estimated
that such a plant will coat approximately
$1,600,000.
Representatives of the Federated Im
provement Clubs. United Improvement
Clubs, Northwest Federation of Improve
ment Clubs and other organisations ap
peared before the committee to protest
against the city entering Into a contract
with the light company. If such contract
would in any way Jeopardlnae the rights
of tha city to proceed this year with the
building of a municipal plant or the i
quisltion of the present plant.
' Kagrel Farori a Vote.
"I believe it would bo well to Investi
gate the cost of a municipal plant and
submit bonds this fall. Let tho people
vote on this matter. It will not be settled
until a bond Issue haa been submitted."
sated Commissioner Kugel.
Commissioner Jardino said: "I contend
It would be well to determine whether
the company would install tha proposed
new equipment with a stipulation that
tha city may buy tha plant at the end
of an agreed period, aay three or five
years. We need mors lights now and tho
need of mora street lights st this time s
Independent of the other proposition of
a municipal plant. I think It would be
possible to secure these additional lights
at this time and also conserve all rights
of the city. There is no harm finding out.
If the light company will not make any
such arrangements then we can proceed
In another manner. We know we can get
twice as many lights of the new type for
the aame money wa aro now paying."
Mayor Dahlman favored tho Jardlna
plan. Corporation Counsel Lambert ad
vised commissioners that the city cannot
vote bonds Just for street light equip
ment independent of a plant.
