The Federal Building.
Plans for tho North Platto federal
building, now In tho hands of Post
master Davis, call for an edifice that
will certainly be nn adornment to the
town. The intorior of tho building
shows no gaudincss in architecture, it
is plain but symetrlcal in every lino-
one of those solid, genteel looxing
buildings. Tho ground floor will be
ccupied by tho postofilce, with main
entrances on both Locust nnd Fifth
streets. Tho floor is divided into many
rooms, including tho main postofilce

other employes, an office for tho postal
savings department, large vault, toilot
rooms, waste paper room and even a
shower bath for employes. There are
three delivery windows In addition to
tho stamp, registry, and money order
windows.
The-second floor of the building is
devoted entirely to tho federal court
officers. The court room ia 30x45 with
tho coiling oxtending through the third
floor to tho attic, surrounding the court
room are the various offices for the
court officers, a half dozen in number,
and a room for tho jury. On this floor
there are toilet and cloak rooms.
Tho space on tho third floor will be
occupied by tho government land office,
three rooms being devoted to this pur
pose, the oncers being provided with
vaults and other conveniences. A pas
senger elevator will run from the first
to the third floor.
In the basement will bo located the
boiler room, elevator machinery, coal
bunkers, etc.
Tho building will sit nearly in the
center of the 132x132 site, tho frontage
on Locust and Fifth streets having a
71 foot Bidewalk with a wide parking
between the walk and the street curb.
Tho estimated cost ot tho building b
eighty-eight thousand dollars, and tho

Tho sudden movement or Japaneso
along tho lino of tho Union Pacific j
raijrond from tho country east of Chey
enno to tho west caused a great deal of j
comment among railroad men and pas-
sensors on tho train enroute from
Omaha to the Pacific coast, and the
comment soon took on color equal to any
war talk that has been inspired by rc
ceiit o vents and reported events along
tho Mexican border, where sovcral
thousond Japs are reported to have
gathered, ptosumably with tho viow of
making nn armed invasion into the
United States.
Beginning in central Nebraska, Jap
anese began boarding tho train and
before tho train had reached Cheyenne
more than thirty of tho almond-eyed
sons of Nippon had taken passago on
the train. They would, it is said, board
tho train at different stations, by ones,
twos and in tt io3.
Their presenco would nothavo jnuscd
speculation from a standpoint of war,
it lb enid, had it not dovoloped that
each of tho Japs had purchased tickets
for 3an Francisco. It is said that hun
dred of Japs havo trnvolcd ovor tho U.
P. for San Francisco during the past
few weoks and tho euddon emigration
westward has caused tho nervously in
clined to have grave forebodings of the
things that are to follow.
An investigation made in North Platto
has brought' out the fact that several
familiar Jap faces nr missingjfrom tho
ranks in this city, but tho number does
not seem depleted to n great extent
and inquiries made of local Jnps are
met with statements that nothing in

Superintendent Stott has instructed
tho Northport yardmen to make room

of the delay.
