W. II. C. Woodlinrst, who is a enn
dldtito for the republican nomination
for llont representative from tho dis
trict composed of Lincoln and Koith
counties Is, in point of residence one
of our old citizens. Mr. Woodhurst
came to North Platte with his parents
about forty years ugo, and has, with
the exception of a fow years, been a
continuous resident. Since arriving
at manhood Mr. Woodhurst has been
promlnont in business, political and
social circles in North Platte. For a
long porlod of time ho has been en
gaged In tho insurnnco and real estate
business and for sovoral years was
stato agent for tho North British Co,
Ho filled tho position of receiver of tho
United States land office for two
terms of four years each, and has over
been an active worker In tho republi
can party. Mr. Woodhurct'o oxpori
onco in the field of business, hlswldo
acquaintance throughout the stato,
and his well known lovel-hoadodncsB,
well fits him for a member of tho Ne
braska legislature.
It Is not ofton that western Nebras
ka has u candidate for a stato ofllce,
and now that it has one in tho portion
of Stnto Scnntor Iloaglaud, who asks
tho republican nomlimtlon for Hou
tcnant govornor, tho members of Ills
party should glvo him their unanimous
support at tho primary election next
Tuesday. As a niembor of tho senate,
Mr. Hongland introduced and suc
ceeded in having passed many meas
ures that alTocted wostorn Nebraska,
in fact tho west part oft ho stato has
novcr before boon represented in the
Bonato by ono who wielded so much
Inlluonco ns did Sonator Iloagland.'Wo
hopo every republican In the west
part of tho state will cast ills prlinnrj
vote for Waltor V. Hoagland for lieu
tenant govornor and thuj show tholr
appreciation of the work ho has done
for tho"sand hill section of Nobraska.
Rcadors of tho Omaha and Lincoln
daily papors, tho nows' service of
which covors tho entire stato, must
conclude that tho crop conditions nro
not no good as wore painted the early
part of tho season. Small grain Is not
yielding ns bountifully ns predicted,
and Just nt present tho Inck of mois
ture in much of tho corn belt ar'ea has
damaged the corn crop to an appreci
able extent. It is hoped that high
pricos for farm products will prevail
and thus oven up for whatever short
ago thoro may bo in the crop.
Wo agreo with John McConnel that
hotter roads In tho county aro needed,
and that a two mill levy which would
produco $40,000 might help, but as
wo .havo sovoral hundred mll03 of
ronds in Lincoln county that badly
noed "fixing," tho $40,000 would lmrd
lya a drop In tho pall. Undor tho
present levy wo expend about $20,000
a year for ronds, but tho work is dis
tributed ovor such a wide area that
ono,ficnrcoly notices whero tho money
is oxpended.
I. D. Brownflold, the candidate for
tho democratic nomination for shorlff,
has lived in Lincoln county over slnco
ho wns "kneo high to a grasshoppor,"
locating in Walaco precinct with his
parents when that precinct was first
bolng settled by farmers. For a num
bor of years ho has resided In or near
Ilorslioy. Acquaintances endorse him
as a young man of oxcellont reputa
tion. Piofers Good Roads to Court IIoiiho
Somerset, Nobr., July 25, 1914.
To tho Editor of tho North Platto
' Tribuno: ,
Dear Sir:
I wish to say a llttlo about tho pro
posed voting of a five mill levy for a
new court houso. I say vo need a now
court houso, but there nro lots of
other things thut wo need worse This
is a big county, and It is a long way
to the county scat. I live In the south
part of tho county and there Is not a
dooont road to the county seat. Thoro
aro wire gatoa to open.
Tho county la also so dlvldod as to
commissioners' districts that it Is
impossible to got a county commis
sioner on either tho north or uouth
sldo of tho county. Tho county Bponds
annually on the road from North
Platto to tho Experimental Station,
about $1000VQ0 nnd thoro is no road
thoro satisfactory to travel a great
Bliaro of tho time. Thoy don't mnko
It right, or drag it when it should bo
dragged. Thoy should havo macad
amized It ton or flftoon years ago.
Now I am In favor of voting a two
mill lovy to macadamize all low, bad
roads, and to do away with all hoard
or wlro gates on roods, and not to
build a now court house until tho
roadB In tho county aro In audi shapo
as to.mako it bo tho people in tho
country can got to tho county Bent in
nomo way satisfactory. Thoro aro
hudrods of pcopio that deal with mall
order houses that would drlvo to
North Platto If thoy could got thoro
on a half-way decent road. I furthor
think that voting a live mill tax now
Is vory foolish. Why not vote bonds
for tho people to pay that will get tho
full boncflt of tho now court houso in
ton years from now. A two mill tax
tlign will rnlso as much as flvo mills
will now, nnd will ho much onslor to
i?ay.
Boforo ton years you will soo tho C.
B. & Q. railroad running along the
rlvpr through Lincoln county, with
mnchlno shops nnd othor improvo
mcntB. By that tlmo also, the hills
will bo stocked witli good cattle and
horses and all tho grass will bo eaten.
Now my advico is to vote against
tho five mill levy for tho court houso,
but first boost for ucceslblo roads all
over tho county. Not morely in and
around North Platto, and boost In
earnest. Boost ono nnd nil, and boost
all tho tlmo, nnd then North Platto will
in tlmo got tho now court house, and
will get fifty per cent more trade and
grow faster.
North Platte needs tho aid of tho
country to build her up and nothing
but good roads will bring this about,
Tho pcopio in tho outlying parts of
the county aro anxious to go to North
Platto and trade there, but tlio roads
leading to tho county seat aro Im
passable most of tho year.

HllinUi; SHJNL'D AND SL'NT OFF
Tho coupons for tho bonds of tho
Lincoln Highway bridge which were
recently voted by the voters of Platte
precinct and of North Platte, wcro
signed the latter part of last wcok by
Commissioner D. 15. White, chairman
of tho county board, and wcro sent to
the stnte auditor's ofilco to ho approv
ed and registered and. returned.
The bonds issued wcro for $25,000,
which is tho part tho district will
havo to pay on tho $50,000 bridge. Of,,
this amount Plnttc precinct voted $13,
000 worth of bonds bearing six per
cont Interest and North Platto voted
$12,000 bearing flvo per cent. Com
missioner White Rlgned his name
thrco hundred and thirty-six times to
the coupons.
After tho bonds nro registered with
tho stato auditor they will be returned
hero and the commissioners will ad
vortlso for bids on tho brldgo as soon
as tho bonds aro sold. Tliey expect
to sell tho bonds this fall and get tho
bids In In tlmo to havo tho work start
ed this fall. State Englnoor Price
stntcd a fow days ago that tho state de
partment wns leady at any time for
tho work to begin and that as soon as
tho bonds woro sold tho work could
begin at once. It Is hoped that tho
work will start this fall as it will
tako sovoral montliB for Its comple

brldgo to bo completed.
