A Western railroad with an Eastern
terminus in Chicago has announced a
new plan in excursion business. Here
after it will conduct excursions in the
witer. Heretofore, the harvest time OF
railroad excursion traffic has been in
the summer season. But the railroads
apparently have persistently overlooked
the fact that this is also another har'
