T. C. Patterson, county consul for the Lincoln Memorial Highwny, has ap pointed the following town consuls for Lincoln county: North Platte, M. J. B'orbes; Brady, J. W. Pulliam; Max well, J. W. Nugent; Hershcy, D. M. Leypeldt: Sutherland, A. W. Hoatson. The object of theso consuls is to boost the highway in all possible ways and especially the sale of tho highway cer tificates. Certainly the men selected by Mr. Patterson aro full of energy and they are very enthusiastic for the highway. Good work may bo expected of them. The sale of certificates in Lincoln county has not been pushed, only about eighty having been sold up to last Sat urday, but now that tho town consuls have been appointed the sales will be pushed with energy. A meeting of the county hnd town consuls will, bo held at Grand ' Island November 19th and it is expocted that all the Lincoln county consuls, as well as the three county commissioners will attend. There will be present at this meeting the highway engineer, repre sentatives of the Union Pacific and State Consul Frcdrickson. It is prob able that a general outline of the work to be performed in Nebraska will be formulated, and the exact route of the highway laid out. The route is protty certain to bo on the Union Pacific right-of-way clear across the state, but its exact location as to where it will traverse the south side and where the north Bide of tho track will be deter mined. Certain it is that the railroad crossings will be as few as possible. The general opinion is that the ma terial to be used on the highway through Nebraska will be Sherman gravel, which the Union Pacific has offered to furnish at about the cost of loading and trans porting. This is undoubtedly the best material that can be obtained, and it certainly makes a fine roadway. The first move the people of North Platte and the Lincoln county people living along the highway line should make is to boost tho sale of certificates, as our interest in tho highwny will be largely guaged by the numbor sold. Down in the east part of the state some individuals are buying as high as one hundred each, and in the little town of Waterloo, with only 410 inhabits, $2,900 worth of the certificates haye been sold. At least 1,000 should be sold in Lincoln county. The next move after the sale of certificates will be the construction df a bridge across the river east of town. To acquire this bridge it will be neces sary for North Platte to voto its share of the bonds for the construction. With out this bridge tho highwny cannot well come into North Platte, for it is known that the highway officers' would not for a minute consider tho south of the river routo with its meandering rood. The national highway will be a big thing for North Platte; it will bring thousands of visitors to the city each season, and each visitor will leave more or less money with our business men. Probably nine-tenths of those who pass through will spend tho night in town. But the highway cannot be built with out the hearty co-operation of the peo ple along the route, and North Platte and the people of the valley must do their share. Extra Help Wanted.
