ANOTHER
ENTERPRISE FOR
NEBRASKA CITY
Ralph Duff Will Manufacture All
His Corburetors In Our
Sister County.
For some time Ralph Duff has
been working on a new corburet
or, one that would cause a com
plete change in the automobile
business, and now it is announc
ed that he has it completed and
is ready for the market. This
corburctor is something that, the
manufacturers of automob'les
have been waiting and looking
for. Mr. Duff's numerous friends
will most heartily congratulate
him upon bis good fortune, be
cause it means lo him a good
sized fortune, and it also means
much lo the people of this city,!
because Mr. DufT has decided to j
manufacture the corburetors here.
He will erect a Iwo-slory building
on the lots east of the M. K. Smith
factory, corner of Fourth street
and Central avenue, and have all
parts of the corburctor made
there. The factory will give em
ployment lo a number of men, and
promises lo be one of our leading
industries. It is intended to have
the corburetors ready for the
market by February 1, but the
factory will hardly be ready for
business in that time. Nebraska

If Nebraska City possesed a

Important Business Change.
On Monday of Ibis week a busi
ness deal of importance was made
when (he Unit of Hells & Venner
sold their elevator, coal and grain
business to an organization
known as the Kagle Farmers'
Orain company, composed of
farmers of Hie vicinity of Kagle,
who perfected an organization
some time ago. Del Is & Vennei
retain possession until April 1,
w hen I he company w ill select a
manager lo lake charge of the
business.
We regret very much to lose
the II rin of nelts & Venner from
our business directory, for they
have by their honest business
dealings been the means of at
tracting farmers from a distance
lo our town. Both Fd and Pink
are valuable citizens lo our town.
Neither gentleman has made any
future arrangements as yet, but
even though they have disposed
of llieir business interests we
hope that they mav conclude to
still make Fugle their home.

, City, Neb., where he formerly re
sided. In company with Mr.
(ieorge Oldham, he gave the Jour
nal a pleasant call, and left with
us the Heaver City Times-Tribune
which refers to Ihe visitor as fol
lows, the climate being so much
warmer down here than in
Alberta:
Mr. Oldham, who is visiting in
Heaver City, came down town last
Saturday, when the thermometer
was 10 degrees below the goose
egg, attired in a linen duster, a
straw bat, and other light cloth
ing, and carrying a fan. Strolling
into a south side restaurant,
leaving Ihe door open, he asked
for an ice cream soda, and was
surprised that, such beverages
were both out of season and out
of shle in Heaver City. Leaving
the place he sought a spot where
(lie icy blasts swept up from Kan
sas. Sealing himself on a cake ot
21-inch ice, recently rescued from
the Heaver, he gathered a bunch
of his old friends about him, and
remarked: "Fellers, I don't un
derstand how you can stand these
hot winds and dreadful weather.
Why don't you move to Alberta
where you can get a breath of
fresh air? This heat is oppressive."
