Senator Hoagland Getting Busy
Senator W. V. Hoagland applied to
the state railway commission for ro
port of the receipts of the Union Pa
cific company at this station to get
datn tor his plen before the commission
for a now depot hero. The statistics
show an onormous business out of this
place which aggregates a largo amount
of money for the company from' the
passenger and freight receipts. He
has received the following statistics:
Receipts for freight coming in and going
out, $200,010.97; passenger receipts for
this station. S94.G95.CG, making a total
of $300,700.03 and an average of $25,
058.89 per month. This report is for
the year ending Juno 30, 1913. The re
port shows a total of 870 cars of mer
chandise shipped out and 1891 cars re
csived. The number of cars of coal for
commercial uho is even 500, and this
amount was used by the private con
sumers alone.
These statistics would tend to show
that North Platte is a paying station

the company could at least give us de
cent waiting room accomodations here.
