TRADE EXCISION
A SURE GO
September 13th and, 14th
Selected as the Dates.
To Sidney Over tke U. P.. tkesce
ta Mitchell ever BsrlisgteB and
kence down the Branch.
Harry Dixon and Will Maloney, mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce com
mittees having in chargo the proposed
excursion to Mitchell and return, havo
made a partial canvass of the town and
havo secured tho names and checks of
over fifty business men who will mako
the trip.
It is expected and believed that easi
ly fifty more can bo secured, thus
making tho number fully one hundred,
this cxclusivo of tho band of twenty
members, which will be taken along.
Tho Union Pacific will furnish a train
of four or five cars, including a dining
car. This train will leave tho morning
of Wednesday, Sept 18th, (tho boosters
havo no horrors of 13s) over the main
lino to Sidney, stopping for ten or fif
teen minutes at each station between
North Platte and that point At Sid
ney the train will bo transferred to the
Burlington tracks and the jo'ufneymado
over that lino to Bridgeport, thence to"
Scotts Bluffs nnd Mitchell. Wednes
day night willTie spent at one of these
two places. Tho following morning
the Boosters will start on tho return
trip down tho valley and over the
North river branch, stopping enrouto
at nil towns between Scotts Bluffs and
home.
The trip covers a distance of over
four hundred miles, and aside from its
commercial side, tho trip is anticipated
as a pleasant diversion from tho routine
and grind of business.
Tho real object of tho trip is to get
better acquainted with the peoplo nlong
the Union Pacific and the .residents of
tne great worm r latto valley, or wnicn
Norili Platte city is tho gateway.
That this acquaintance can best be
gained by such an excursion there is no
question.

KRUTTSCHNITT NOT
LIKELY TO YIELD
i .
Believed He Will Turn the
Committee Down.
Majsf ily of tne Not tfc Platte Slwp Men
Do Net Wast Strike.
Tho Tribune has interviewed a num-
bor of tho older employes of tho Union
Pacific at this terminal and without
exception they do not favor n walk out
should Kruttschnitt rofuso to treat with
tho federation of shop employes. It Is
truo that the employes interviewed nro
men who havo families, who own their
own homes, and hnvo reached that ngo
where, should they lose out hore, would
not bo able to secure positions else
where; thus throwing them out of em
ployment and with it the probablo loss
in disposing of thoir homos. To theso
a walk-out means something, it may
mean tho breaking of ties of friendship
that has in some cases existed for
thirty years, in addition to tho flnancinl
loss. Such contemplation is not picas
nnt.
It is tho general opinion that
Kruttschnrtt will take a decided stand
at tho conference which will begin nt
San Francisco tomorrow. It is believed
that when tho delegates como before
him and demand recognition as repre
sentatives of the unions involved in tne
labor struggle ho will simply turn thoVn
down, informing them that if tho.
members of tho unions nlong tho liar
riman Bystem havo any grievnnco ho
will listen to them, but that ho will not
ontertnin any"proposltions or hoar com
plaints of men who nro not in any man
ner connected with the road or roads
that bo represents.
Whether' Kruttschnltts' refusal to
yield will precipitate a Btriko on tho
Union Pacific is, of course, not knbwn.
At othor points than Nortn Platto
theioldcr men-will fool like tho North
Platto men; that they cannot airortl. to'
... i "V .. - . : -
walk out and suffer the probablo loss of
a position. With tho younger men, who
havo not so much to loso, tho feeling is
different; they as a rulo will bo ready
to obey a striko order without resist
ance or delay.

We have
Learned a Lot
About Shingles
sinco wo first hung out our shinglo and
particularly red cedar shingles always
havo known they wore good, but our
closo observation has taught us that
while all shingles may look alike, thoy
don't wenr nlike. Maybe you'vo
noticed tho same thing. Well, there's
a reason for it. Wo found the trouble
starts with their drying. and if you buy
shingles that havo been hurriedly put
throuch tho dry kiln, under excessive
heat, you will surely bo disappointed,
Mnybo ours cost a little moro because
of tho slow drying, but first cost nnd
longevity of tho roof should bo con
stdercd together. Tho last car wo un
loaded was a pippin como in nnd look
nt these" shingles won't cost n penny
to look or ask questions.
