Only a glance at our map and you cannot but say
that tile territory through which wo pass is in
QEEAT need of a first class, up-to-date road.
Government reports tell us that the tier of
counties south of the Platte river, through which we
pass, are among the wealthiest and most productive
in the state.
In this" tier of counties are raised millions of
bushels of grain and thousands of head of live stock
that have to be transported to market, to say nothing
of the thousands of people who will have easy access
to this road. If the steam roads through this very
territory are paying 10, 12 and15 per cent dividends
with their heavy expenses why won't our electric road,
with just half the expense, payf
THINK OF THIS AND ACT. .
. We invite all to participate in the building of the
first Electric Road in Nebraska. You can buy one
share or as many more as you like. Your money
will be honestly expended in the building of this line,
and your interests will be as carefully guarded. Wo
know we can make good money for all who invest
with us, for we know we have a proposition that has
been tested and tried. Over 30,000 miles of electric
roads are in successful operation today and paying the
best kind of dividends.
WILL THE ROAD BE BUDLT?
Why should it fcot, when the towns along the line have
given us franchises worth thousands of dollars and the
people along the line have donated $80,000 of precinct
bonds to assist in its construction, , to say nothing of the
acres and acres of land that have been deeded to us for
right of way; besides thousands' of dollars have been
actually paid out for right of way. "...
We wish to say emphatically that the road WILL BE
BUILT and if you delay and put off until it is too late
you will make one of those mistakes that are' so often made
in life.
INVEST TODAY!
The stock is all common and issued fully paid and
non-assessable. Its par value is $100.00. For the next
few days you can get the stock for $26.00 per share, and
with each share of stock you get $5.00 . worth of trans

'Plenty of Places for Mate Money.
Treasurer Brian has received word from
eighteen banks which refuse to pay the 3
per cent interest on state deposits and he
Is now withdrawing the state money from
these banks. The delay In the withdrawal
of funds from some of . the 'country banks
Is due to the time It takes for other country
bunks to make out their bonds. The banks
which refused are the following: One at
Crete, two at Or J. two at Hastings, three
at Fremoi.t, five at Omaha, two at South
Omaha, one at Lincoln, and one at Grand
Island. It Is believed many ef the lurger
banks refused to pay the extra Interest
because they feared country banks would
demand I per cent, on their balances. Mr.
Brian has received applications from a
number of banks which want to become
depositories and he Is having no trouble In
gotting state money handled. In the case
of the Grand Island bank the treasurer
got another bank to take over Its bond and
ths bank lost nothing and the same thing
will be done at a Fullerton bank which is
IntU.dtd in the eighteen which stopped
hundllng the state money.

WASHINGTON. July J.-"There Is no
such thing as an 'American Dreadnaught'
nor Is any projected," said a distinguished
naval officer today. He was referring to
the two great 30,000-ton battleships, con
tracts for which have Just been provision
ally awarded, and which were mentioned
In the congressional debates and news
papers as the "Dreadnaught" class. "The
new ship should be called 'The Delaware'
class, for without knowing what the second
ship Is to be called, the first vessel of the
kind usually fixes the name of the class,
and secretary Metoalf has christened No.
28, 'Dele ware'," said this officer.
The officer then pointed out the differ
ence between the English Dreadnaught and
the American Delaware class, going Into
some details as to the plans" for the latter
which la not deemed politic by the Navy
department to make public even at this
lste date. Generally stated, the eallent
points of difference were to be fouud In
the arrangement of the armament. The
12-Inch guns c: the British vessels are car
ried In two turrets on the central lines
from bow to stern and In two "waist" or
side turrets; while the guns of the "Dela
ware type" are placed In four turrets. In
Una with the keel. The advantage of the
latter arrangement Is the ability to bring
every one of the guns on the primary bat
tery of the ship to bear upon an opponent
on either side, while 26 per cent of the
British fire Would be masked under like
circumstances.
There also are numerous changes In the
Interior arrangements, and on the whole,
according to this naval officer, 'save from
the fact that the tonnage of the two
classes are alike and Turbine machinery
Is to be usod for the propeller power, the
"American Delaware" does not resemble
the "British Dreadnaught."
