PLAN TO RELIEVE
THE CAR SHORTAGE.
Increase in Demurrage Charges
Would Help, Aver Omaha
Railroad Officials.
COAL MEN HOLD THE CARS

T. Is va
While local railroad officials are not
expressing authoritative opinions on
the suggestion OF the American Rail
way association to relieve the freight
car shortage BY raising the per diem
demurrage charges up to as high as
IS per day per car, they have no
hesitancy in asserting that such q
plan would help.
Railroad officials declarcN that while
the great volume Of freight business
that is moving has much to do with
the present car shortage, the holding
up Of cars by consignees is the most
serious problem that confronts them
at this time.
Under the demurrage rules now
applied the per diem charges range
from As cents to $l.45 for each TWEEN
ty-four hours. Many Of the con-.
signees of freight find it much cheap
er to hold cars and pay the demur-
rage than to provide warehouse and
storage facilities. This is especially
true in the Goa. business, say the
railroad men. Under the present sys-
tenn car Of coal reaches Omaha and
If it is not unloaded inside of forty
eight hours, the demurrage COM
mences to run at the rate Of 81 for
each twenty-four hours after the free
time has expired. The coal dealer
can leave the coal on the car and un-
load it at his pleasure and by paying
ST per day, save the expense Of one
handling, that Of from the car to the
bin. This one handling, it is said is
a saving of $40 to $40 on each car,
besides the loss that results from
shrinkagc in the handling from the
car to the bin.
Also True Of Grain.
What is true with coal, railroad
men say, is also true with grain, but
not to so great ali extent. 1t is con-
tended that under the present rule, it
is cheaper to let grain remain in cars
on the track and then let it proceed
to its destination when sold than to
run it through the elevator apd later
to reload for shipment to the<ultimate
market. The demurrage will run dur
ing the time the grain is held in the
car but even then it is less expensive
to pay this than the elevation and re-
loading charges.
However, with the demurragc
charges pushed up as high as S. per
day, the expense would be SO great
that there would be 4 desire to un-
load cars as soon as possible, which
would permit Immediately sending
the cars back into the shipping tcr-
ritory to again be- quickly loaded with
commodities for the market.

Benson Folks Decide to
Have a Christian Church

Benson is to have a Christian
church eventually. That is, it is to
have church building. In the mean
time, however, matters have been so
organized that services are to start
right away and be held every Sunday
afternoon at Odd Fellows hall in Ben
son, with c. E. Harding to preach.
A meeting was called Wednesday
night by G. 3. Harding, who. is super
intendent Of the Douglas County
Mission Of Christian Churches, for the
purpose Of organizing a Christian
church in Benson. The meeting was
held at the home Of F. B. Oliver.
1t was decided Bible school should
be started to hold meetings every
Wednesday night, and that church
services should be started IN Odd Fell
lows hall Sunday afternoons pending
a definite building campaign for a
church building. There are about forty
families in Benson who are members
of the Christian church.
