The'Proposcd Bridge.
The Lincoln highway commission has
givon out that in locating the road
through Nebraska all turns, so far as
possible, must be eliminated in order to
shorten tho route. In conforming to
this rule it is plain that tho route south
of the river between North Platte and
Gothenburg must Lo abandoned nnd n
direct 'road laid out between the two
points. In order to do this a bridge
must be constructed ncross tho river at
n point east of North Platte. Tho
poople of Brady and Maxwell are very
enthusiastic over such a road and the
plan now suggested to raise funds to
build tho bridge is to form Vroman,
Brady, Antolope, Cox, Maxwell and
Hall precincts into a 1'ridge district to
vote that territory's shore of the bonds;
North Platte to vottKits share of tho
construction price, and the remainder,
or one-half of the cost, to bo paid by
the state.
The plan, as wo understand it, is to
construct a permanent bridge, steel or
concrete, at n cost of about fifty
thousand dollars. Twoaty-fiva thousand
dollars of this will como from tho state,
about one-half of the remaining half,
or $12,500 will be paid through the levy
by the Union Pacific, and thq remaining
$12,500 will come from the people of
the six procincts and of tho city of
North Platte. As now figured tho cost
to the people of North Platte would
be in the neighborhood of five thousand
dollars.
It looks to us as though fivo thousand
dollars so invested is a mighty good
investment for North Platte. It not
only means a compliance with the de
mands of the Lincoln highway commis
sion, but it also means that with this
direct route the numbor of people who
como from the east part of the county
to North Platte will be more than
threbled. As the plans for this bridge
become more perfect, we will have
more to say on the subject.
Man Killed by Auto Near Cozad.
A man, reported to be tho father of

ing. The unfortunate man is said to
have been walking along the load and
at the sound of the horn stepped in
front of the auto, and was hurt so
badly that he died, Wednesday night.
He is said to have been quite deaf and
a man along in years and quite feeble.
The accident is said to have happened
near the home of Robert Hinna or

One of Many Cases.
In speaking of tho land registration
tho Lincoln Journal says: "Most of
the Lincoln people who have registered
have gono to Broken Bow as tho near
est registration point. That many are
not going to rogistor on their own
initiative is illustrated by the case of
one man who left last evening for
Broken Bow to register. He is on his
way to register because another Lin
coln mamoffered him $5,000 for a claim
ii no iirow wiumi mo nrsi miy num
bers. Tho man who does thu register
ing is in the employ of. tho railroad and
j his transportation costs him nothing.
Registering will cost hirn 25 cents. The
I other Lincoln man has ofrerod him
( $5,000 if ho draws within thu first fifty
numbers nnd proves up on tho claim in
' tho throe years. To provo up ho would
make a yonr and a half's residence at
$3.3!3.33 a year. Ho looked at it ns a
a bet worth taking.
