Rocky Mountain
National Park
The Low Cost of the Trip
Will Surprise You
There's no denying the fact,
the best investment many
folks make is their vacation.
To enjoy the best of health
and make the most of life, one
must, of necessity, have an oc
casional change of environ
ment, altitude, climate and
method of everyday living.
So named because it represents
the typical scenery of the higher
Rockies than which there is prob
ably no mountain range more ma
jestic a rest-and-play-land, a nat
ural, wild, beautiful and healthful
outdoors this Park is a refuge of
peaceful grandeur and a haven of
quietness which has remade many a
tired soul.
Here, hid away for a time, one
leaves "nerves" behind .while doing
as one likes. The sportsman may
hunt or fish, the worn-out loai or
ramble, the more energetic ride,
drive, climb mountains or play golf
or tennis. Kiddies scamper, and the
grown-ups fcrget dignity and indi
gestion. All can be out every day
in the pine-scented air and enjoy
the upbuilding sleep which only the
air of the mountains can induce. .
An agreeable feature of this splen
did mountain paradise is its unrival
ed variety of hotel accommodations,
which range all the way from the
"million-dollar" hostelry and broad
spreading rustic inn to the modest
cottage and outpost tent.
Easy to reach and to see hit the
trail there this summer. Let me
tell you more about it and let your
home - town railroad
take you there.

SEND OUT PRIZE MONEY
The Chamber of Commerce mailed
a new $5 bill a few days ago to Mr.
Arthur Seufert. of the Seufert Bros.
Co., salmon packers at The Dalles,
Oregon, as a result of his being win
ner in the long distanct "radio recep
tion contest in connection with the
Plattsmouth night concert from Sta
tion WOAW, Omaha, on May 15th.
The air-line distance from Omaha to
The Dalles was certified at exactly
1,300 miles by station officials in
Omaha. There were several others
who run him a close second, how
ever one at Wenatchee, Washing
ton, 1,275 miles; one at Yakima,
Washington, 1.270, and one at Ed
momon. Alberta, 1,215.
Mr. Seufert wrote that he heard
the closing 15 minutes of the pro
gram, 8:45 to 9 p. m.. Pacific time,
while it was not yet completely dark
at The Dalles. He has a Westing
house R-C set and stated that al
though he had been able to hear the
Kansas City Nighthawks all winter,
he had been unable to pick them up
for several weeks prior to the date
of our program on account of summer-time
interference and he con
sidered the hearing of our program
at that distance and that time in the
evening a truly remarkable feat
which it was so truly remarkable
that he is $5 richer as a result.
Frank Barkus was awarded the 2
pound box of candy in the local mile
age guessing contest conducted by
the Morgan Sweet Shop, his guess

The radio band concert to be given
by the Eagles band of this city from
Station WOAW, Omaha, on Monday
night, July 9th, promises to be one
of the best band offerings broadcast
by the Omaha station, including the
Omaha Knights Templar band. Under
direction of Prof. Ed Schulhof, the
Plattsmouth musicians have rounded
out their musical training until they
are able to play with any of the
small town bands in the middle west.
In addition they will have the ad
vantage of scientifically correct
grouping before the microphone,
which means much in the success of
a radio program of this kind.
The concert will be under the aus
pices of Hugh J. Kearns post, Ameri
can Legion of this city which has as
puned the obligation of , providing
transportation and meeting the in
cidental expense connected with the
program which will do much toward
advertising Plattsmouth to the world.
L. O. Minor, the former efficient
transportation manager for the May
loth program, has agreed to again
look after this detail and if the roads
are at all passable, he will round up
sufficient cars to convey the players

course the trip will have to be made
on the train, as it was before.

BOY DROWNED
NEAR WABASH
LAST SUNDAY
Otis Wilson, Jr., a Good Swimmer,
Loses Life in Weeping Water
Creek Cause Unknown.
On Sunday Otis Wilson, Jr., fifteen
year old son of Otis Wilson, Sr.. of
Wabash, was drowned in the Weep
ing Water creek south of that place
while swimming. It seems as though
he and. a Golden boy and Ellis boy
had been out riding on their bicycles
and had gone to the creek to swim.
While the cause of the Wilson boy
drowning is not definitely known, it
is supposed that he was hot and that
he had taken a cramp. It is also
stated that he might have stepped in
over his depth but this could hardly
be true a3 he was. considered an ex
tra good swimmer.
The body was recovered shortly
after the accident, but life was al
ready extinct and nothing could be!
done to revive the boy. .
The. most, likely cause of the boys
death it is said was due ; to heart
failure. The boys who were with
him at the time said that he was
going into the water to show them
the depth and was holding up his
hand which gradually, disappeared
under the water. ,
When no signs , of the boy were
Keen, ior a short space the boys on
the bank became frightened and gave
the alarm. The body when recovered I
was limp, "but all .that could be done-;
was of no avail to revive himl The :
theory is that as he had been riding j
his bicycle and was very hot. the sud-j
den change to very cold water had j
caused his heart to fail him, .result-;!
Ing almost in immediate death. i
This is a very sad accident. The boy j
Is well known .'here having attended j
school here during the year 1922.

had several loads of cattle on the lo

for the remainder of their cattle.
A load of choice steers averaging
1,375 pounds was brought to the lo
cal market yesterday by Harry An

ceived $10.90 a hundred. The cattle
were bought in Omaha last fall at a
cost of $G.50 a hundred and they al
most doubled in weight as well as
price.
Herman Von Esen brought in a
load of fino Hereford cattle from
Oakland, that averaged 1,090 pounds
and sold for $10.95 a hundred, just
a nickel less than the top price.
to the tourist who travels from
place to place. They are even better
than paved highways In many in
stances, as any tourist knows.
Gravel highways are "cussed" ve
hemently when they are first laid,
for -driving through loose gravel is
like driving thru a snowdrift. They
must be rolled and packed for some
time before they are ready for ise
and then they are praised, even by
the pessimist. They require much
less : maintenance than dirt surface
roads and the cost of maintenance is
considerably less. Nebraska City
