Cut Down Five and a Half
Days-Fast Rail Trip.

o. l., Dickson, a member of the staff OF
Darius Miller, president of the Burlington
road, is in Omaha visiting at the general
headquarters. In speaking of the recent
record breaking trip from japan to New
York, in which the time for the trip was
cut down five and a half days, he said'
Railroad men know that the trip was
record breaker. just sixteen days. six
teen hours and forty-flve minutes was the
time used in landing cargo Of silk in New
York, after 1t left the dock In Japan. Five
carloads of the precious product were re-
Gently loaded on the Great Northern steam
ship Minnesota in Yokohoma, Japan
destined for New York. to be made into
the finished product.
"A wireless message was sent from the
liner to the Great Northern officials al
Seattle announcing the time of its landing
Ten hours and fifty minutes after the timer
landed, special train of five silk cars
heavily loaded, was speeding east to finish
the race. The time taken by the train
from Seattle to New York was 1903 hours
and 50 minutes, and the cargo went over
the Hill lines all of the way. The five
carloads were valued at over half q million
dollars and the insurance on the same

Disease Turks
in Car Straps
Health Commissioner Connen Thinks
Cars Should Be Fumigated and
Have Aluminium Straps.

Hanging straps In street cars should be
made Of aluminium or some other sort of
metal or Of wood. Instead OF leather, and
street cars should be fumigated at regular
Intervals, according to Health Commits
sioner r. w. Cornell Thursday. The
health commissioner gave out his opinion
In discussing the investigation OF street
car straps which is being made in San
Francisco and upon which the attention of
the medical world is being riveted.
Reports from the coast metropolis are
that millions upon millions Of DEATH
dealing germs have been discovered upon
single straps; that 9 portion Of these germs
when inoculated into a guinea pig
brought death to the little animal within
thirty-six hours.
"Of course, there are bacteria in great
quantities upon everything" said DR.. Con-
nell, but for the most part they are not
harmful Danger, however, could be
sresuy reduced for the public who use
street cars IL the straps were made OF an
other material than leather. Leather, be-
ing extremely porous, catches and holds
germs far more easily than other materials.
The cars should be fumigated regularly at
least If the straps are 10 be made OF
leather"
The commissioner explained that while
the germ receptacles, swinging in the air
overhead. were to a high degree mediums
for the wholesale spread Of the harmless,
and sometimes deadly bacnli. the greatest
danger lay in contraction of the germs in
open sores A person with a cut on their
hand or bruise was most readily suscep-
tibie to the disease that lurked In the
Straps,
