RECEIPTS AT CUSTOMS HOUSE
Business VIII Not BE Much I'm Excess
of that Done During
1905.

The customs receipts at the port Of
Omaha are very little, If any, in excess
of the previous year. AS the fiscal year
docs not close until June 30 OF each year, It
is difficult to get the exact receipts up to
the close OF the calendar year with any
degree Of accuracy. There has been, how
ever. a considerable excess OF tea receipts
during the year resulting from the close
OF the Japanese Russian war and the re-
suscitation of the tea business In Japan.
In the matter of cigars, the domestic
product has crowded out foreign importa-
tons to a very great extent. and the ship
ments from Havana during the year have
been much less than the previous year. This
is probably owing TO the recent Instruction
in Cuba during the tobacco harvest.
1t still continues a difficult matter to
Impress upon the merchants OF Omaha the
important fact that importations can be
made direct to Omaha instead OF through
the bonded warehouses of the east
Omaha has a spacious bonded warehouse
ample for all importation purposes, and to
import direct to Omaha can be as easily
done as to import through the seaboard
cities.
The value OF foreign goods imported to
Omaha will closely approximate $4,000, 900,
but very small proportion OF these are
cleared here. possibly not to exceed $500. OOO
annually.

This condition prompted Health Commits
sioner Conneli to get an appropriation for

is now being brought to a contamination.
DR.. Connell believes that with such a hos

be curtailed.
There were 2s5 cases of diphtheria during
