From Broken Glass.
From Monday's Dally

Mrs. Emil Steinhaus, of
King of Trails
Road Work Mov
ing Along Nicely
Only Delay Has Been in Receiving
Gravel in Large Amounts
Grading Hearing Finish.
From Tuesday's Daliy
The Cass county portion of the
King of Trails highway from thu
city to the Platte river bridge is now
being rushed as fast as possible and
if the gravel can be supplied in suffi
cient quantities it will be a matter
of a very short time before this
stretch of the highway will be in
shape, altho there is always the April
; cowers to oe considered in tne worK i
and which if they reach sufficient j
proportion may check the work but!
which is a matter that the road mak-J
ers cannot contend with. I
The engineers on the construction!
work on the Sarpy side of the river
are hopeful with an even break with
the weather to have the grading com
pleted there in the next ten days and
which will furnish a high and dry
roadway through the Pappio bottom
near Fort Crook.
Reports were circulated here today
that the graveling of the road from
the Platte river to Fort Crook might
be hamepered by the fact that the
federal government was not in a
mood to supply the needed funds on
this part of the work until such
time as the bridge over the river wa-?
a free structure. It is thought that
the government objection was to the
full completion of the work by the
construction of the overhead crossing
at La Platte rather than the mere
work of graveling. As the road is
now already graveled for a mile from
the bridge north it leaves a very few
miles yet to be completed and this
will probably be carried out regard
less of what the attitude of the gov
ernment may be as it is a small job
and with the enterprise that Sarpy
county has shown in the good roads
movement it is probable that they
would go ahead and have this small
part of the road work completed.
The objection of the government
it is understood has cot applied to
the work on the Cass county side
of the river where the graveling has
gone so far that a few days would
allow the greater part of the work
to be completed.

be back in normal condition.

a ute of 56 to 33, many of the repre

sition, Representative Livingston of

gas tax receipts for bridge purposes.
The house Inserted C- provision that
allowed th" cities or counties to vote
tends for the purpose of defraying a
part of the cost of the bridges and to
which the federal aid would also ap

quarter. The bill permits the opera
tion of the bridges as toll structures
until the cost of the bridges to the
communities is repaid.
The bill will now be sent to con
ference with the senate who will have
to accept the shanges in the bill as
returned by the house or again sub

Beautifying the
Grounds at Nebr.
Masonic Home
Marshall Nursery Co., of Arlington,
Have Charge of Work of Plac
ing Additional Shruhbery
-rom Tuesday's Daily
The beautiful and spacious build
ings of the Nebraska Masonic Home
in this city are gradually being sur
rounded by beautiful grounds that
are fittingly in keeping with the fine
buildings and each year the land
scaping plans that were formulated
when the building plan was adopted,
are being added to.
The Marshall Nursery Co.. of Ar
lington, Nebraska, have charge of
making the additions provided for
this year, and have their representa
tives. Charles W. Andrews, landscape
architect, who formulated the plans
that are being carried out from year
to year, and John Hibbard, here to
look after the work of placing the
shrubbery that will provide added
beauty to the Home grounds.
The extension of the landscaping
this year calls for an outlay of several
hundred dollars in shrubbery that
will be used in various parts of the
tract of some twenty-five acres that
the Masonic Home association now
owns in the vicinity of the original
plot of ground on west Elm street.
The ultimate plans of the Home
call for one of the most attractive
Institutions in the state and the sur
roundings are to be made as beauti
ful as the work of skilled landscape
engineers and materials can make
them.
Messrs. Andrews and Hibhard are
experts in their line and will see
that the shrubbery is placed to the
very best advantage of display and
attractiveness around the home build
ings. The view of the Home and Infirm
ary and grounds from the John R.
Webster boulevard is a very beautiful
one in the summer time especially
and on the terraced lawn leading
from the sunken garden to the level
of the administration building, a
large square and compass in floral
design is being arranged that will
add to the beauty of the grounds as
seen by the traveler along the boule
vard. Also the numbers "3," "5"
and "7" are to be arranged in large
floral groups, plainly discernible by
passersby on the boulevard.
A small lily pond will be laid out
this year in the sunken garden, and
added to until it attains its future
size, with natural spring effect where
the water is fed into the lagoon and
sewer overflow provided at the point
of outlet. As this part of the plan isj
developed, Plattsmouth people will
be able to point with pride to a land
scaping plan that is not excelled in
the finest home or country club dis
tricts of Omaha.
While here, Messrs. Andrews and
Hibbard are arranging for resetting
of the few Moline Elms on the boule
vard, set by their firm last year for
the park board under a two-year
guaranteed growth. These trees are
among the most beautiful on the mar
ket today, budded to insure unifor
mity of growth and in the next three
or four years should make the boule
vard a most beautiful drive. They are
set far enough apart to give skjMine
view and permit unhampered growth.

From Tuesday's Daily
Mrs. John Hadraba, Sr., who has
been quite ill for the past week con
tinues to gradually grow worse and
is now unconscious for the greater

she has been growing less able to

gitation on
for Baseball
Team for 1927
Number of Players and Boosters of
the Game Trying to Organize
Team for Season.
From Tuesday's Ia.jly
The matter of a baseball team for
the 1927 season in this city is be
ing agitated by a number of the fans
of the city and may result in the
formation of a team that can fitting
ly represent this community in the
great summer pastime.
The team has suffered the loss of
several players from last year but it
Is hoped if sufficient interest can be,
secured that young players who have
been engaged in the Bohemian Slug
gers for the last two seasons, may be
enlisted In the team for this year
and take part in the regular lineup
for the coming season.
John F. Wolff has been seeking to
get a team lined up and has met
with some encouragement but it will
be some time yet before it is fully
determined w-hether the players and
funds necessarj- to get the season
started can be secured.
The team in the last several sea
sons has spent considerable sums in
the care of the park here as well as
the work of the park board to keep
the park in shape and severe rain
storms have wiped out the, work of
tne team ana Doara so teat tne parK
will require some repairs before it
could be a real asset to the base
ball team.
The conduct of the team will re
quire financing and if' a generous
patronage was given the team it
could be made a real success but
small gate reecipts hamper the team
on securing equipment and players
that they might need ana should a
team be launched here for this sea
son they should have the most gen
erous patronage at their games if
the season is to be made a success.
The Cass-Sarpy league is anxious
to have this city as one of the towns
in the loop but whether this would
be desired by the team is yet to be
decided. Many favor the team. If one
is organibed. to enter the Cass Count'
league where the local towns are
much better and should make a bet
ter proposition for all of the towns
in the county rather than getting in
the dual county loop as was the case
last year.
