S t-n crossing of the U. P., so that there are only about nineteen township that can get to the railroad without crossing the rivers at North Platte. If persons living on section 13, town 11, range 20, wwh to get on the U. P. railroad in Lincoln coun ty they will have to come to North Platte over 35 miles, the same re turning, although the railroad crosses section 1, town 11, range 26, less than two miles north of them. The same is true of those living in the western part of the county, both north and south of the rivers. A person might as well live thirty five miles away from a railroad, as to Hve two miles if he has to travel thirty-five miles to get to it. Proximity to railroads enhances the price of lands and makes living on the same pleasanter. When ex amined calmly every civilized per- son must admit tnac nnages are badly needed. Now then let us examine and see if we can afford to build them. The tax list this year is $1,812,- 000. A two mill levy on the same would raise $3,024.00. But there can be no levy this year and there will be about fifty miles of the B. & M. to add to the tax list next year, amounting to about $300,000, so that witn tnat addition aione a one and three-quarter mill levy would pay the interest on the bonds ($3,600.) The amount of bonds proposed to be issued is $60,000, with interest at six ner cent, none of the principal payable under ten years; alter that one-tenth each vear. In less than five years one mill will be more than sufficient to pay the interest, and when the principal begins to ma ture a two mill levy will more than a a sumce tor both interest and princi pal. One mill is ten cents on the $100: two mills is twenty cents. There are more than three-fourths of our tax-payers that are assessed under $300 each, a two mill tax on $300 would be sixty cents, and would be less every year. The city school tax this year is thirteen mills so that a person as sessed on $oUU would nave to par $3. -.1 menuoUuttaaBOw.how:iA niROHiimniMax n uwprw compared to the toe we :pT .with out questioning:.

The Union Pacific Railway will i m i a. f ran a special laioraao excursion from Grand Island and stations west to. 'and: including Sterling; Col., to Denver and Graymont on August- 20th and 27th. Tickets will be good for thirty days, with the privilege of stopping over at any station between Denver and Graymont. This is a rare opportu nity to visit the wonderful Clear Creek canyon, one of the grandest in the Rocky Mountains. Graymont is at the foot of Gray's Peak, 14,410 feet high higher than Pike's Peak, and easy of ascent, affording a magnificent view of the grand and stupendous Rockies. A short dis tance above Georgetown the road makes the famous loop, a wonder ful piece of railroad engineering. The following is a portion of the time-table. Trains will leave Date.

WAWI' -r 1 - WHY THE BBDDGK BONDS SHOULD CAERY. Editors Tribune: As I consider the approaching election for bridge bonds as of the most vital import ance to North Platte and Lincoln county's prosperity, and as some persons might vote against the proposition through misunderstand ing of facts, for that reason I sub mit the following facts from the countyrecords: 'Lincoln county is fifty-four miles from west to east and forty-eight miles from north to south. The -ers.- divide the county a little KortK of the center so that there are nearly forty townships south and thirty-two north of the river. The U. P. Railway runs along the aorth bank of the river and crosses the North Platte River one mile west of the' center of the countv and then runs between the North and SoutlTPlatte Rivers to the wes tern boundary of the county.

If bridges are built the county should build them. There are four bridges spanning the Platte in Dawson county; three of them were built with private capital, the Plum" Creek bridge' being the exception. Two, and possibly three (we are not cer tain about the one at Overton) are toll bridges and draw heavily upon those who are compelled to use them, while at the same time they are taxed to pay for the free bridge This throws an extra burden upon people tributary to toll bridges, which should be equalized by mak ing all bridges free. Therefore we say, the county should build all necessary bridges and make them ?ublic highways. Gothenburg ndependent. Town Lot Co. probably be disappointed. Personal. Mr. N. H.
