The Bridge Bonds,
Next Tuesday a special election will
be held in North Platte for the purpose
of voting on a proposition to isssue
$12,000 bonds to aid in the construc
tion of n bridge across the river
directly east of town. The cost of this
ataal and concrete bridge, as estimated
by the state engineer, is $30,000. Of
this amount tho state will pay $25,000,
Platte precinct embrucing Maxwell
and Brady and intervening territory
will pay $13,000, and it is proposed that
North Platte shall pay the remaining
$12,000. Platte precinct has already
voted its share, the bonds carrying al
most unamimously, and $25,000 lies In
the state treasury nwaiting tho result
ot the vote of the people of North
Platte on Tuesday, Juno 30th. This op
portunity to secure a permanent bridge
at so small an expenditure should be
readily grasped by the people of North
Platte; in fact it is an opportunity that
is not likely to again be presented for
the reason that the state aid bridge
law is unpopular in counties which are
not traversed by large streams and it
is possible that, the next legislature
will repeal the law, thus forever shut
ting out any future chance of securing
the $25,000. This is therefore an op
portune time for North Platte to secure
this sum for the erection of a bridge
that would otherwise be impossible.
, By the construction of this bridge
the distance from North Platte to Max
well will be shortened seven milas; Tjy
reason of its existence our trade from
the east will be increased at least fifty
per cent, and last but not least, if
North Platto is to be nn important sta
tion on the Lincoln Highway the bridge
is an absolute necessity. Ihe Tribune
believes in bringing into North Platte
every possible dollar in every possible
legitimate way, and it strongly favors
this proposition ns the avenue through
which the people of the east end of
the county will come to North Platte to
spend their money, and the automobile
tourist an opportunity to divorce him
selt from some of his wealth.
The additional taxation created by'
the issuance of $12,000 bonds will be so
small that the owner of tho average
home will not notice It. It will in
crease the yearly tax on tho humble
home of The Tribune man less than the
price of two picture show tickets, or
the cost of four nickle cigars.
The Tribune believes this bridge
will expand North Platte's business, and
the more business expands the greater
is the value of your leal estate, yiewed
from a business standpoint no property
owner .pan afford to do anything but
vote for the bonds; in fact the bonds
should carry by a unamimous vote.
Barn Destroyed by Wind
The big barn on the J. M. Calhoun
farm six miles northwest of town, was
completely wrecked by the wind Sun
day night. At that particular point
the wind assumed the natuie of a
tornado, but the area covered was not
large. Mr. Calhoun carried a tornado
policy of $800 on the barn. Several
horae3 ware badly bruised by the railing
roof and wnlls. and an automobile dam
aged. A dozen head of young stock
was missing at tho time Mr. Calhoun
started to town yasterdsy and he
thought some of them might be under
the ruins of the barn.
The wind did some damage on the
adjacent ranches and farms.
The North Platte Independents
defeated the team of Busby's minstrels
last evening by the score of 16 to 3.
The game was very one sided and at no

in. Their scoring was due to some
horse plav one part of some of tha
North Platto players. The North
Platte batteries were Husband, Peters
and Pass; umpire Tiley.
