Has Thrilling Experience Ross McCarroll had a very excit ing experience with a team which concluded to run away and which, as many a person would do, did just the wrong thing. The team was at tached to a disc when they became frightened and started to run and Mr. McCarroll ran and climbed on hc disc but by the very rough char acter of of the ground was thrown ofT and in a manner badly bruised while the team got away. The team ran until tired out and stopped of themselves. It was very fortunate for Mr. McCarroll that he was not thrown under the knives or discs when he was thrown off for had he ben the chances for his escaping witii his life would have been very meagre. While it is not fully appreciated by the residents of this locality, who are familiar every day with the scenes in and near this city, the fact is that there is no portion of the :;tate of Nebraska or anywhere else in the middle west that has more natural beauty than has Plattsmouth and its surrounding territory and many of the tourists who have pass ed through the city have been charmed and delighted with the nat- I ural beauty that is found in such profusion in this section. There is nothing more beautiful to j the eye than the bills on which this city is located in the summer season when the trees are in leaf and the many handsome home swith their at tractive lawns and surroundings that j speak of the ideal home conditions : that are found in Plattsmouth. With the improvements that have j been made in the permanent streets of the city in the last few years it is now possible to travel in comfort to almost any section of the city and the property owners have taken a real pride in making their homes and immediate surroundings as attract ive as possible for their own com fort and general beautification of the city. The highways that lead into the cily offer many real treats in the way of natural scenery and this is especially true of the river view drives that give one a glimpse of the broad bottom lands and the soft pur- i pling hills that lie along either side of the Platte anu Missouri river. As the travelers pass along the highway north of the city from the crest of the hill near the Will farm the Platte valley spring suddenly into view and the broad acres that are rich in productiveness stretch them selves before the beholder for many miles until they are broken by the I gentle hillsides. Along the drives j that lead to the Missouri river are I many wonderful places hat charm the eye as they show the beauties of the natural scenery that led the ear ly settlers to halt their westward caravans to locate here in one of the real natural beauty spots of Nebras ka. Not alone has nature been boun tiful in providing settings for real homes but the residents who have settled here have built up a city that is a real home town. Here the hills of the city are dotted with spacious and well kept houses of worship where the residents can receive the religious training that goes to form the basis of all civilized society and form the social ties that strengthen the life of the community. Here al i so are found the schools, the equal of 'any in th state, with staffs of com ! patent and well qualified teachers who are training the young people j for the time when they will take up their duties as citizens of this great stpte and nation. When we carefully review our own surroundings and those of oth ler sections we may feel that Platts mouth has been among the chosen snots of the state for a real home that offers all the comforts and joys i that modern life demands and for which the surroundings of the city ; have been made ideal. To the stranger seeking a location we say with pride, "Come to Plattsmouth and find the end of the search for the ideal home town where happiness nd comfort are a part of the daily life." to I GoMettc Enjoy a New Kind of Freedom in Goldette Bloomers!

Raine, the well known lecturer and explorer of Alaska, who possesses a greater ac tual first hand knowledge of the northern country than any one in the United States. Mr. Raine had been located at Fairbanks. Alaska, for a number of years and has trav eled over the uttermost parts of that country, even making trips with dog teams and has penetrated into some of the wildest parts of the country. He was a member of the party that accompanied the late President Harding on his trip to the different points in Alaska and has been spend ing the past few weeks at his home in Seattle. Mr. Raine spends some time each year in lecturing in the United States and he is now engag ed in a short tour of the country prior to returning north for the summer in his beloved Alaska.
