Tuesday afternoon Secretary Crosby, of the Chamber of Commerce, received la telegram from T. C. Patterson, North Platte's representative it tho 'good roads meeting at Detroit 'which J read: "Lincoln Memorial Highway perm anently locnted along Platte valley, following the Transcontinental rout through Nebraska. When completed this highway will be of concrete from New York to San Francisco." This means that the efforts of the cities south of the Platte tosecare the Lincoln Highway along what s termed the south or Denver trail did not suc ceed and the good roods congress has selected the onl logical route through the state. The concrete roads in the vicinity of Detroit are to be the model for the Lin coln highway. In speaking of the Detroit roads, the superintendent says: "We prepare and shape the sub-grade, roll it hard with a 10-ton roller and lay the concrete right on the natural sub soil. Side rails are used and when the concrete has become sufficiently hard to remove the rail the finishers paro ofF the outer edges to prevent a sharp di viding line between tho concrete and tho gravel shoulders. Our trunk roads are built 1G feet Wide with gravel shoulders four feet on each side. The lesser traveled roads have 12 or 15 feet of concrete with a minimum width over all of 24 feet. We have also built concrete roads from 10 to 18 feet wide. They are always wide enough to make passing of teams or automobiles going in the opposite or the same direction very easy. The up keep expense of these roads is less than five dollars a year. P. H. Ruddy Dies in Omaha, J. E. Evans received n telegram Tuesday afternoon from Chas. P. Ross, of Omaha, informing him that Patrick H. Ruddy,, of this city, had died suddenly in his room a an Omaha hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Ruddy had gone to Omaha Sunday to attend tho Ak-Sar-Ben, but their antic ipated pleasures were cut short by tho grim reaper. The body wasatone taken in charge by an undertaker and brought to thi3 city on an early train Wednesday morning. A committee from the Grand Army of the Republic, of which the de ceased was a member, assembled at the depot and escorted the remains to the home. The funeral was held from tlie Catholic church yesterday morning, the G. A. R. and the K,. of C. attend ing. Interment was at the Catholic ceme tery, where the beautiful burial ser vice of the G. A. R. was read by J. E. Evans. Taps were sounded by Harry Huffman, and as the casket descended the last tributes to a comrade-at-arms were contributed, first the evergreen, then the rose, and last the wreath. Mr. Ruddy came to North Platte about thirty years ago and by hischeeri ness and pleasant manners won the good-will and respect of every acquint- ance. Several years ago he purchased the Commercial Hptel and had since conducted it as a rooming house. He had been more- or less affected with heart trouble for some time past, and this was the cause of his death. The war record of Comrade Ruddy was a mostiionorable one, at the age of sixteen heenhsted in Co. E, 11th Wis corsin Infantry in 1801, was honorably discharged and re-enlisted, serving four years. He was with Grant at Corinth and Vttckeburg, and was pie sent at the capture of' Mobile. Ho was a brave soldier, never shirking duty, and revered the flag with a patriotism that never dimmed. His service to this country, if nothing else, entitles Pat Ruddy to grateful remembrance.
