W. V. tlOAGLAND. Cody Offm Relici to City. Colonel Cody, with his accustomed genorosity, will tender to the city of North Platto as a necleusfor a museum, his entire collection of Indian relics, which is one of the finest in 'tho west, part of which is stored at Cody, Wvo., and part at tho Scout's Rest ranch. Not only will the gift Include these Indian relics, but also many articles which the Colonel collected during his trips abroad Located in what, was once tho great hunting ground of tho Sinnx and othor Indian tribes, it is nar- tlcularly fitting that North Platto should have a museum of Indian relics. It is probable that with the Cody col lection to start with, many donations would be made by pioneers of tho west who have relics in their possession Mounted buffalo, elk and deer could also be obtained, and wo believe that within a few years North Platto would haye a collection of relics of tho pioneer days that would surpass any to be found in tho country, and one that would bo become more valunble nB the years pass. Whore Colonel Cody's proposed gift shall be stored, is a quostlon that is up to tho people for solution. It may bo possible than an arinex to tho south might be built to tho public library by a vacation of tho alley this, howeyor, is only a suggestion, it may not be worthy of much consideration.

The Tribuno is creditably informed that when the Gibbon-Hastings cut-off is placed in service a solid passenger train will run from North Platto to Kansas City, and that the train crew will run through to that city. The engine crew district will be from North Platto to Hastings. It is also probable that solid Kansas City freight train's will be made up at North Platto; in othor words theio will be a North Platte-Kassas City passongar district, and a North Platte-Hastings freight district. The opening of the Gibbon cut-off will largely increase business in and out of North Platte, ns much west ern traffic now routed via Denver to Kansas City will come through North Platte and over the Gibbon line.

To all ditch owners taking water of the Worth Platte river: I desiro to call your attention to the fact that if any of the ditches which have not yet consummated contracts with the United States government for water out of the Pathfinder Reservoir in times of scarcity of water in the North Platte river, dint they must make their applications within a short time or it will be forever too late. This is a matter of immense importance to te irrigation interests along tho North Platto river. The secretary has com municated with the secretary of the interior at Washington, D. C., in re gard to the extension of time for pur chase of reservoir water from the Pathfinder Reservoir in pursuance of the resolution adopted by the Nebraska State Irrigation Association, Oct. 24, 1912, asking for an extension if time for a; period of one yetlr from January 1, 1913. In,, a letter from the secretary under date-of December G, 1912, the secretary sayp: "It is presumed that tho association represents the corporations or individ ual's referred to, but this does not clearly appear, nor the more important fact whether these persons in consider ation of such extension will obligate themselves to take prompt action. It would seem therefore, that it is unwise to make any general agreement which may prevent tho consumntion of plans tor the use ot the stored water by those who may be prepared to do so and to tie un tho use ot tho water al ready stored at largo expense by ,the government. Each association or in dividual who may desire to obtain this water should immediately nresent a statement or proposition indicating clearly ndefinito date when they or he will be prepared to discuss details, sso that those who are now on tho point of concluding arrangements will not bc;in terferred with. In other words,' the time hos now arrived when each ap plication for stored water should be dealt with on its merits." ' ' If any ditch owners whether irriga tion districts or individuals expect to contract with tho government for water out, of the Pathfinder Resprvior, please communicate with the undersigned immediately so that application blanks can be obtained and filled out nnd sent to the secretary of the interior. Respectfully submitted, " J. G. Beeleu, President, Nebraska State Irrigation Association. - Local and Personal. Everybody's doing it what? Buying a lot in tho new Cody Addition. Mrs. M. H.

The claim of Omaha scribes that Omaha high school is winner of the state inter-scholastic football champion ship of 1912 is stoutly contradicted by North Platto, which piled up an un broken string of victories during the recent gridiron campaign and won most of its games by overwhelming scores. The North Platte chaps are asking whether or not their nock of thewoods is a part of Nebraska and if Omaha la tho entire commonwealth. Buttheroisno occasion for a fussi If North Platte were to challenge the Omaha lads for a post-season game on a neutral gridiron, as, for instance, the state university field, surely Omaha would not dodge the iiaue. v.
