In the original itinerary of Prcsl.
dent Roosevelt, it was announced
that he would come as tar west as
North Platte. Later the itinerary
was changed and Kearney made
the moat western point in the
state. Last Saturday Asst. Supt.
Ware received a circular in which
North Platte was again given as
one of the points which the Prcsi
dent would visit. To be sure ot the
matter, Mayor Walker yesterday
telegraphed Senator Millard asking
if the President would come aB far
west as North Platte. A reply was
received to this telegram at noon
yesterday in which it was stated
that President Roosevelt would
not come as far west ad North
Platte, that Kearney would be the
turning point. This settles the
matter once and for all.
Heavy Hay Shipments,
The hay shipments thin week
promise to be very heavy, as nearly
all the hay men are now
through cutting and stacking and
will now bale and klup. The price
today ranges lrom live fifty to nix
dollars per ton, and though the
western demand is strong it is not
expected that the price will mater
tally advance.
The hay crop in Lincoln county
this year is the heaviest since 1891,
and it will be a great revenue
getter for the hay tnen as well as
for the merchants.
Mr. Harrington said this morn
ing that he knew of twenty baling
machines which would be act to
wotk this this week in addition to
the number already at work. Each
machine will bale ten tons per day
ou an average.

Into hlB head that ho wanted an ap
