Gasoline Pipe Line May be Laid Thru Here Activities Point to Consideration Line Through Eastern Part of Nebraska of The construction of a gasoline pipe line through the eastern section of Nebraska and this city is appar ently under consideration by some of the huge refinery companies of the west as indicated by the visit here of the advance engineers who have been through this section. The gasoline pipelines from the fit Ids in Oklahoma and Texas to the refineries and thence to other sir Hons of the country, are being laid in a large number or' places, one Uni already being planned into Council Bluffs from the line that goes from Kansas City to lies Moines. The pipelines are arranged so that they can be used in handling the different grades of gasoline and crude oil. the gasoline or oil being pumped through for several days and stored at the distribution points in large tanKs and men the line is washed by pumping through water a section Ol water being placed in the pipes between the different grades ol gas and oil and this process is repeated as needed, furnishing a sup ply of all of the different products of the oil fields and refineries at the distribution points. The gasoline and oil is handled at the central points ty the tank wagons that deliver the products to the var ious stations and consumers ami savis the transportation cost of the oil and gas from the refineries to the consumers at distant points. This city with its situation just a short distance from Omaha and Lin coln as well as with an fine place for the liries to cross the Missouri river, would make an ideal concen tration point for the storage of the gas and oil for distribution and that this is being considered is pointed out by the fact that a number of in quiries have been made as to loca tions that might be used for this purpose in this community.

Mrs. Christian Mockenhaupt, Mr. and Mrs. James Bulin and Family and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lindeman and Family. Writes of Trip to the West Coast M. G. Churchill. Well Rnov.i? Murray Redden': Gives an Interesting Stcy r.f Journey. As many friends asked me to write them I will try to give them an out line of our trip, through the columns of the Journal. Leaving Murray, Nebr., July '.9. a very hot and sultry day (we had several of them.) We went to Lin coln and took highway 3S across Ne braska, stopped at Klyoke, Colo, long enough to shake hands with many friends as there is where we lived dining the war period. We then continued upon 38 to Greeley, Colo., crossing over to Loveland and to Esies Park, which I consider as na ture's most beautiful spot I have seen that is in the hills, also the alley about Loveland and Fort Col lins. We crossed the Milner Pass, which took us a little over two miles high which was above timber line, also above many snow banks, as well a.- the clouds. This was a difficult climb as we were heavily loaded, as well as pulling a loaded trailer. But I must give it to the Chevrolet, and a '26 model at that, as it took us through 2024 miles without trou ble, except a nail in one tire. We used 100 gallons of gas, and 4 gal lons of oil. After crossing Milner pass we spent one night at Hot Sul phur Sprincs on the west slope, the night of Aug. 2 and experienced as heavy a frost as I have ever seen, and ice all over the car top. and we al moet froze. Would of but I got up at 3 a. m. and built a fire in the heater in our cabin. We then follow ed highway 40 into Salt Lake City. We passed through Steamboat Springs on Sunday, and business was mostly closed, but I slopped and look ed in the hardware store belonging to the estate of Edward Furlong, brother of Mark Furlong of Rock Bluffs. I must say it is a fine store ot hardware and furniture anH a fine building, with O. E. Furlongs name at the top. About Steamboat Springs is a very prosperous country, but 1 was dis appointed in the -ountry as a whole, for I consider it of very little value. Except in small valleys in the coun try after we entered the mountains in Colorado, until the end of our journey, in fact it was mountains all the way. Utah is a state that cannot be described (it must be seen). It is worth anyone's trip to cross the country and take a little time. leav ing Salt Lake we fololwed highway 91 south and crossed the corner of Arizona into Nevada and stayed one night at Las Vagas, Nevada, here we were entering the desert, and were advised to cross the desert at night, on account of the dangerous heat, but there had been a little rain just ahead of us that was in our favor. We left Las Vagas at 3 o'clock in the morning and burnt gas across on man's land, and when daylight came we saw an entirely new world. and it is surely a mystery what it was ever made for. There had been many deaths recently in this route from heat, but we got by very well until afternoon. It was awfully hot but no one suffered as we carried plenty of water and fruit When we reached Hinkley, California we left 91, going west to Mojave and Baker field, were then mostly out of the desert. We then took a north route about 70 miles to where we now call home. This is a valley full of all kinds of fruit, inostly oranges and grapes, but plenty of other varieties, as well as potatoes. Since arriving here we have built a little three room bungalow and living in it. I have seen some of the things I have dreamed of since a schoolboy. One thing in particular, the large timber. Some trees are 70 feet around and so high I cannot tell you. but one in particular (believe it or not) this tree perhaps 60 feet around was sawed entirely off at the ground over thirty years ago and still stands. Have seen species of most all the large game and today 1 was at the rifle range trying out my 30 caliber army rifle which was owned by Attorney CapweU of Plattsmouth, and I hope to have another story to tell about this gun later. My address is Strathmore, Calif., and will be glad to hear from any of my old friends of Cass county. M. G. CHURCHILL, RETURNS FOR SCHOOL WORK Principal and Mis. Robert Foster Patterson returned Friday afternoon from their summer stay at the Uni versity of Nebraska and a short time spent at the home of Mrs. Patter son's parents near Minden. Mr. Pat terson has been taking special work at the summer school of the univer sity for his degree, presenting as his thesis at the conclusion of the course, a history of the city of Plattsmouth. Mr. Patterson in his preparation was very thorough, going into the old records of the city, newspapers down that period of time as well as the data available at the state his torical society. Mr. Patterson has consented to allow the publication of this historical offering in the Jour nal and which will be a historic document well worth preserving by the residents of the community.

Dr. Gillespie states that the conditions that prevail in that part of the state is very bad I and that from West Point on to the north the crop conditions are of at serious nature. In the sections that he visited the landscape resembles the bite fall, trees, fields of crops and all vegetation having the brown ed and dried condition of that sea son. The lack of rain has practically ruined the com cron and yields will be only from one to four bushels per acre over that section. This is on . the border of the grasshopper area and there the conditions are even worse, witn desolation marneo in everv way, in the fields swept clean ' of all vegetation as well as trees and all nlant life leafless.
