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.
Mr. Railroad Man that lives in the
east end Vhat arc you going to do
when they start work in the new round
house. You will have a long cold
walk this winter. You had better see
mc about a lot in the Dolson addition.
We will make exceptional terms for the
next thirty days. C. F. Temple.
