A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs $36,000 a mile just a bare road, not count ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc Our railroads couldn't be duplicated to day for $150,000 a mile. They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile much less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive. English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000; even in Canada (still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for all foreign countries is $100,000. Low capitalization and high operating effici ency have enabled American Railroads to pay the highest wages while charging the lowest rates. 7Jfc advertisement is published by the dissociation of Railway Gxeciitives Ti iuirint UftrmaUtm futtrult th railntd titmmtitm mu ktaim Ultratur by writing Tk Auteiatitm tf Rsilmv E0cmHvm, il Broadway, Ntm Ytrt CHERRY BARK COUGH SYRUP For Coughs, Hoarseness, Soro Throat and Bronchial Catarrh where a remedy is needed to loosen the cough, as well as to lessen Throat and Bronchial Irri tation. 65c and $1.23 Per Bottle HOLSTEN'S mm so ordered.

We can get cars now while these territories are frozen up and snowed in. Let's get them. Give us your order now and have yours when you need it. ' You can use it every day in our glorious Nebraska. By the way, have you noticed how many cars began the New Year with an increase in price. A word to the wise is sufficient You know the price. You fan get delivery.
