, Not much in records, but an abso
lute "roar" in fun, was the first an
nual Seals' swimming meet at the
Young Men's Christian association
last evening. From the moment the
200 spectators took their seats till
they left the men in trunks led by
''Swede" Anderson and "Pete" Wen
dell kept them laughing.
A balloon race, in which an elusive
rubber ball kept the water merchants
kicking in all directions, and a game
' -if "bell" tag were two events that
caused hilarious laughter. In the lat
ter one of the swimmers carried a
bell, and swimming under water,
bobbed up every now and then to
. wag the cow bell and start a school
of "seals" in his direction. The play
lasted several minutes before the
worthy leader was caught; '
Anderson Wins Dash.
Anderson won the century dash in
1 minute and 4-5 seconds' time. Loyd
Ned was a close second, coming up
just three seconds later. The forty
yard free style stroke showed some
fast time made. E. E. Benson came
home first at 23 seconds. Ray Flat
ner was second with 26 3-5 seconds to
his credit and Jatk Yates third with
284-5 seconds.
The 100-yard dash gives promise of
time improvement. Anderson and
Neff are a pair of powerful swimmers
land in open water could probably
lower their marks by several seconds.

56 4-5 seconds. Another meet will be

OFFICERS WELL PLEASED
Applications for Joans in excess ,of
$6,000,000 are now on file with the
federal land bank of Omaha. "The
bank is already overwhelmed with
business," said one of the officials.
Information given out at the bank 9
temporary quarters yesterday was to
the effect that-the fixing of a uniform
interest rate of S per cent per annum
for the entire federal land bank sys
tem is hailed as a longsought-for boon
bv the farmers and has already oper
ated to reduce the interest rate on
loans renewed by the old style agen
cies, although the tederal bank has
not made any loans up to this time.
It is estimated by the board at
Washington that $10,000,000 in inter
est yearly will be saved to the farmers
of the Omaha district through the
operation of the 5 per cent rate, '
The officers of the land bank are
not only geratly encouraged by rea
son of the active interest shown by
farmers, but they also express their
f ratification over the demand for
arm loan bonds which will soon be
issued on the security of the mort
gages to be placed by the bank. Ad
vance subscriptions for these bonds
now total nearly $85,000, although no
public announcement has been made
by the bank concerning them.
(Prom a Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln, March 30. (Special.)
The state hotel commission was
abolished when the senate today pass
ed on final reading, House Koll i.
The measure consolidates the duties
of that commission with the pure food
department.
The bill, which contains an emerg
ency clause, only lacks the signature
of the governor to make it effective
immediately. The governor, who fav
ors the consolidation, will sign it
next week.
The staff of the abolished commis
sion is made up of Phil Ackermann,
commissioner, an inspector and a
stenographer.
Under another house bill passed by
the senate, House Roll 511, the pure
food department takes over all the
work, and the food commissioner be
comes ex-officio hotel conmissioner.
Since the pure food department has
to inspect under the law all hotels
serving meals, its inspectors can with
little effort exercise the supervision
held up to the present time by the
hotel commission, which regulates
the general service of hotels, the sani
tation and the protection against fire.
More Inspectors.
To give the pure food department
a chance to do more expeditious and
efficient work, under the new bill, the
corps of inspectors is increased from
sixteen to twenty-two. At the present
time, the short staff of inspectors is
from three to five weeks behind with
its oil inspections. '
Under the same act, an assistant
chemist in that department is pro
vided for, at a salary of $1,600 a year;
a seed analyst at $5 a day, and a chief
inspector to live in Lincoln and re
ceive $125 a month.
Thi salary of the present state
chemist is raised from $1,800 to $2,400
a year, and clerks and bookkeepers
get $1,000 a year, instead of $70 a
month. The secretary to the com
mission gets raised from $90 a month
to $1,600 a year.
Inspectors are paid by the day,
will draw $5 a day and expenses after
the third year of service. The pres
ent maximum is $4.50 a day.
Several Irrigation Bills
Rushed Through Senate
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln. March 30. (Suecial Tele
gram.) In order to secure their pas
sage and signature before April a, as
required-by the federal reclamation
service, senator Busnee secured con
sent of the senate Friday to have ad
vanced from the sifting file to third
reading six irrigation bills. The bills
are all to make the irrigation laws
conform to federal requirements so
that irrigators can take advantage of
purchase of water from government
projects. They were H. R., 141, 420,
768, 769, 770, and 771.
House Kills Forestation
Bill by Rather Close Vote
(Prom Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, March 30. (Special.)
After spending half an hour on the
senate bill to create a permanent state
forestation commission, the house to
day killed it, by a vote of 39 to 33.
early in the session the house put to
death a similar, bill of its own.
Raise in Rail
And Lake Freight
Rates in Effect
Washington, March 30. Increases
of about 5 per cent in freight rates on
all classes and commodities moving
east and west by rail and ship lines
over the great lakes went into effect
today when the Interstate' Commerce
commission declined to suspend tar
iffs proposing them.
The tariffs proposing the increases
vJere filed some time ago by the
Great Lakes Transit corporation,
which took over many of the steam
ships which railroad lines were com
pelled to give up under the Panama
canal act and the Lehigh Valley
transportation decision.
In hearings before the commission
held since carriers generally have
proposed country-wide increases,
and many shippers approved these
advances. The increases will apply
to rail and lake traffic from points
as far west as the Mississippi river
and east to the seaboard.
