Travel Through Omaha
Is Heavier Since the Rain

Police Officer Brown, on duty at
the Union station, says that the
rains have caused an increase in the
local passenger business. He has
been on duty at the station for five
years and has grown to know the
ways of the travellers He says:
when the corn is beginning to look
dry you can tell that the farmers are
beginning to finger their dimes very
carefully, and they don't come in to
Omaha. After we had the rains the
first of the week you could see right
away that more people came to the
city and they looked more cheerful
In the FIVE years | have been on this

seems to be going somewhere or
