Tub Hun. -Messrs. Bratt and Iddiugs, mem bers of the committee appointed by the Commercial Club, returned from Omaha Saturday where they had a conference with Freight Agent Lane, of the Union Pacific, in re gard to the extension of the district in which the fccd-in-transit rate holds good. When approached on the subject Mr. Lane expressed surprise that the district did not extend to North Platte, as he was of the opinion that it did. Investi gation proved that he was in error, and heat once extended the district to Paxton. The securing of this privilege means much to the farm crs in the valley between here and Paxton, as it enables western stock shippers to unload on through billing ai;d feed and pasture stock, thus making a home market for the feed the farmers have tor sale. Many western shippers will take advantage of the concession made by Mr. Lane. CROCKERY PRICES.
