North Platte wns represented by T. C. Patterson, M. J. Forbas, O. H. Thoelecke, Charles Temple and County Surveyor Cochran. Maxwell by A. F. Nugent and Brady by Robert Beatty and Mr. Pulliam. The meeting was addressed by Vice president Pardington of the Lincoln Highway Association, H. E. Frederick son, Consul for Nebraska, for the Lin coln Highway Association, Congress man Dan Stephens of Fremont, and others. Mr. Pardington assured the mooting that the Lincoln Highway was irrevo cably located through the Platte Valley along the line of the Union Pacific railroad and as near the railroad as practicable, and that the engineer of the Lincoln Highway association would within thirty days in conjunction with the local authorities definitely locate the Lincoln highway. Mr. Frederickson, among other things, informed the meeting that the Union Pacific Railway Company would do all in thir power to promote tlio speedy building of the highway and to that end would grant the right of way for the highway wherevor desirable on the outer GG feet of the railroad right of way and would furnish Sherman gravel for the highway free and would carry the same at the lowest rates that would bo approved by the interstate commerce commission. Mr. Frederickson also outlined the plan of the Lincoln Highway Associa tion to raise a fund of ten million dollars by popular subscription, over" half of which has already been subscribed. Subscribers to this fund become mem- I bora of the association and on the pay L jl just received three carloads of Furniture, ' ' N Special One chatz ment of $5.00 or more receive a hand some engraved certificate of member ship suitable for framing, a member ship card that can bo carried in the pocket and a handsome engraved brass plate suitable for attachment to the front of the automobile radiator. These certificates will be placed on sale at all of the cities and towns thru which the highway will run, and the proceeds will bo deposited in the local bank to the credit of tho Lincoln High way Association, thero to remain until the full ten million dollars are sub scribed when the association will pro ceed at once to the building of the permanent highway. It was determined at the meeting to set apart October 31st for the holding of local good road meetings in all of tho towns and cities along tho line of tho highway in Nebraska to celebrate the location of iho Lincoln Highway through the Platto Valley Nebraska. North Platto is vory fortunate in deed in being one of the cities favored with the location of great National highway, nnd should show its apprecia tion by a liberal purchase of the mem bership certificates, which will bo on on salo at each of the North Platte banks and garages.

Second Request for Gas Franchise It ia probable that tho city council will receive nnother request for a franchise for a gas plant by an Omaha party other than Frank T. Hadley who now has a franchise ordinance pending be fore tho council. This second party will seek a franchise for an exclusive gas plant for heating and lighting pur poses. That two difforent parties should de sire a franchise is evidence that North Platte is regarded as a profitable field for a gas plant. , If a franchise is n valuable asset to tho promoters, why not have the city reap some benefit by demanding a cor tain per cent of the gross revonuo of the company for the priyilogo of having the franchise? ,u. r FOR RENT.
