Great Future for Platte Valley.
In a press report of hla trip through
tho North Platto Valley country in tho
interests of tho river'to-mountnin road
last week, Dan V. Stevens of Fremont
has Bald many kind words of the people
of the west part of tho stato and the
tributary country tho party traversed by
auto.
"Tho peonle along tho route ovor
which we have just traversed," ho
said, "are taking the initiative in a
practical demonstration in the good
roads movement; they nro devoting
their time, their energy, thoir enthus
iasm and thoir money to it, nnd it is
my prediction that the timo is not far
distant when wo will havo Uio finest
road from Omaha to Donvor that may
bo found anywhoro in tho country.
"The general condition of the road nt
the present timo is satisfactory. Our
trip was mado on schedule time, oxcopt
from Kearney to North Platto, whero
tho distances by tho road wero longer
man we had expected. The most
needed improvements in many nlacos
are ho crowning of tho rod whero
there is no grade at the present timo.
If theso connecting links are graded
and kept smooth with road drags for
the rest of this season and the culverts
put in good condition, this road would
bo tho finest to bo found anywhere. In
places wo found the grade too narrow;
In other places the shoulders wero too
sharp; in othor places the ditches wero
too deep, making vehicles liable to tip
over. These changes in the present
grades would not be expensivo to
make them satisfactory. There nro a
few sand spots, not over five miles al
together, that should bo covered with
clay or gumbo. The making of this
whole road into a perfect boulevard is
feasible, and every county xhould tako
a deep interest in tho improvement of
"Tho Kearney Commercial club Is
taking the initiative in a movement that
I often urged on tho trip, that of
organizing a Platte Valley Good Roads
association, in which should bo repre
sented every city and vlllago and county
and township along the line of tho road,
the convention for tho organization to
be held in tho near future. When that
convention is called, I earnestly urgo
that every Commercial Club, ovory good
roads association andevory othor organ
ization devoted to the business well aro
of its community to send delegates to ft.
"The building of this through road'
Into fine condition will havo both an Im
mediate commercial value, and an ad
vertising benefit that will reach from
ocean to ocean. It will be tho mecca of
thousands of tourists traveling ovorland
each year by automobile, seeking the
best road for their journoy, and espec
ially will this be noticoablo during the
yearef the exposition at San Francisco.
They will spend thoir monoy along tho
way.
"Comparatively few people of Ne
braska realize the wonderful beauty nnd
fertility of the Platto valley until thoy
havo ridden over this road. Ono who
gets down next to the growing crops;
who sees at close view tho magnificent
corn, the waving wheat fields, the lino
live Btock in tho green pastures, and
who is entranced with tho deliirhtfnl
fragrance cf the groat alfalfa meadows
in full bloom, can appreciate it far
better than he who rides through the
valley by railroad, which generally
follows close to tho river and through
less beautiful land than the road some
distance away nearer the bluffs. But
when this river to mountain road is
finished to that bettor condition of ex
cellence which Is easily possible, and
tho tourists from all over America hear
of It and travel over it. thoy will re
turn to their homes with good stories
of the wonderful Platte valley. They
will carry the nowo from ocean to
ocenn. When thoso Now -'-England
farmers, who have to go out nnd pick a
hole irktho rocks to nlont a hill of corn
hear of it, thoy will long to leave thplr
rocK oounu hills, ana to come to tno
Platto valley to locate. Wo will havo an
increase of population that will be
marvelous."
