Tho Omnha Rood roads car, enrouto to Salt Lake City, arrival shortly after eleven o'clock Wednesday, having been met at Maxwell and escorteJ into town by several local cars loaded with good roads boosters. The men composing tho Omaha boostorsaro H. E. Fredrick son, chairman of tho country roads committee, James C. Dahlman, mayor of Omaha, G. E. Ilaverstick, president Omaha commercial club, J. M. Guild, commissioner of tho same organization, George McBridc, Douglas county high way commissioner, w. A. DuUoru, an attorney, and E. L. Emory, president of tho Wyoming highway commission. Upon arrival of the party at the cor nor of Dowey and Sixth, a large crowd quickly gathered, and Mayor Patterson introduced Mayor Dahlman, who spoke for fifteen minutes, telling of the ob ject of the trip, tho importance of having good roads, and the desire of thopcoplo of tho Platte valley to have this valley selected as the official trans continental route. The object of this trip of the Omaha men is to arrouse interest in the making of good roads and the proper marking of tho route. The present work of these good roads boosters is of particular importance. inasmuch as A. L. Westgaard, repre senting tho official AAA book, is to follow during the first part of July, along this samo tour on tho first leg of a triple trans-continental tour, in wnich an tne roaus will be inspected ana mapped, and roports made as to their condition. If, through the efforts of the local authorities, and Good Roads Boosters, this Platte Valloy trans-continental routo is well posted with signs, nnd woll improved, Mr. Westgaard will, no doubt, report this as tho best of the three routes which ho proposos to traverse. In this event, much of tho trans-continental touring which promises to bo particularly hoavy during tho San Francisco Exposition, will bo directed across tho entire length of No braska: tho benefits of such general traffic being far more extensive than one would imagine without making some analysis of tho subject. It will not onlv mean that thousands upon thousands' of dollars will bo spent by these tourists in travelling across our stnto, but tho beautiful fnrmH, modern improvements, up-to-date towns and excellent roads will be heralded from one end of America to another. Following tho address by Mayor Dahlman, the visitors were taken to the Ritnor House whore dinner was served, plateB being laid for fifty. The dinors, Other than tho Omaha men, were com posed of local men, nnd several Her shoy boosters who came here to escort tho car to Sutherland. When the good meal was disposed of. Mayor rauorson introduced several of tho visitors who mode short nddreases. At 1:30 tho party loft for Horshoy, accompanied, by several well loaded local cars. Tho Blx-cvlindor car which tho nnrtv used, has nn interesting history. It was built by the Chnlmera Motor Com pany in 1910. and has been driven a total of 40,000 miles by their engineering department, including a run as tho Official Press Car for tho last Glidden tour. They havo turned this car over to Mr. Fredrickson with instructional drive it hard, nnd thoroughly test its construction. Mr. Fredrickson hopes to averago 160 miles por day during tho t next three months, putting it through nil sorts of roads and giving tho car a most through tost. Ezra Meeker in Town. Ezra Meeker, with his long white hair, yet bearing his eighty-two years with considerable sprightline3s, nrrivod in North Platto Tuesday evening driv ing an ox team attached to tho original typo of tho prairie schooner. This is Mr. Meoker's second nnd last overland transcontinental trip, and his mission is to croato interest in the $100,000 bill now in congress to provide for suitable monumontB nnd markers of the old Oregon trail. This trail was laid out during the rush to tho gold fields of California, and traces of it may still bo pointed out by old residonts ulong tha way. This week mnrks the sixtieth anniver sary of tho first time this trail was traveled by this quaint old man who passed through what is now North I'latto on May 25, 1852. At that time ho traveled in a "nrnirlo scoonnr" drawn by oxon, tho trip being made In that mannor of travel most in voguo and moat practical at that time. Now ho is covering the same ground in the same manner, not because the prairie schooner and oxen present tho most luxurious moans of modern transit, but because it protrays to tho modern settlor and tho newer generation the means by which tho road to the groat west was first opened.

There never was such a time in the history of this country for newspaper reading, and it is important to read a paper of impartial views one that is free from any office-seeking or office holding influences. The important thing to a great newspaper like The Lincoln State Journal is to get trial readers, as it has no trouble holding them bv its aualitv. The cheapest way to get new readers is to make a spacial price, which we now do only $2 for thi dailv and Sunday nannr until Janu ary 1, 1913 much less than the regular price. At that time the paper will stop coming unless you order it continued and pay in advance for it. You really cannot afford to bo without this capital city paper when you can secure it at such a price. Send $2 to the Lincoln State Journal todoy and the paper will come to you regularly the remainder of this year. It will be a lively year, too. Notice To Owners of Dogs. Under the city ordinances it is the duty of the chief of police to kill any dog which he may find running at large on which the license tax has not been paid for the current year beginning May 1st, 1912, and a license tag attached to the collar of said dog. Tho license tags for male dog costs $1.00 and for female dog $3.00. License tags are now ready at my office. C. F.
