EXHIBIT AT STATU FA III TO UK SHIPPED TOMOHHON Hob Wan Not Foolish. "When Englneor Hob Douglas1, of this city, drafted u bill two years ago requiring auto drivers tlo stop beforo passing over a railroad grade croslng and presented It to the legls feuro for 'passage tlho UiglsUitorsi laughed and said It was for tho bene fit of tho railroads, that tho roads would escape paying damage claims for dcatlyj (that might result at grade crossings. In their great anxloty ito prevont nny possible benefit that might nccruo to tho railroads, they en tirely overlooked the one important feature of Itho bill tho prevention of the loss of life. Last week six occupants of auto mobiles, were killed at grado cross ings in Nebraska, and both . theso oc curred through tho rccklossnoss or lack Of carefulness on the iart of tho drlvors. Had they stopped before at tempting to cros, as 'provided under tho bill, the accldonts would not have occurred. These six deahts are only a small part of the numbor that httvO occurred and all could have been prevented had tho Dob Douglass bill passed and put In force. In tho line of "safety first" wo hopb the noxt loglRlature will pass tho Douglas bill, or n similar bill, and iilutB 'prevent, to some extent at least, the awful slaughter of human lives at grado crossings. ::o:: Roost (lie County Fair The noon luncheon at tho Episcopal church yesterday was attended by about fifty momborn of tho Chamber of Commerce. The ladles iof tho church served a splondld chicken dlnnor and at Its closo addresses wero mado by 0. H. Thoclccko, W. D. Flshor, Louis Maiuy and ('. A. Llston, of Dickens. In his talk Mr. Fisher, who is sea rotary of tho fair, told of t!io condl tions; tho progress that had been inndo In collecting exhibits, and the need of buildings on tho fair grounds. He proposed thnt all business houses closo Thursday afternoon of noxt we"k nnd all merchants and malo clerks go to tho grounds and help put up tho buildings, tho lumber for which will be fufnlshod by tho dealorB at actual cost. A big majority of tho merchants present signified their willingness to dothis this. All wh uro willing to devote a half day to this work are re quested to assemble at the fair grounds at ono. o'clock next Thursday, C. A. Llston, who is president of the Maywood fair, spoko of tho need lot co operation in conducting a creditable fair. ' Ho said North Platto Is tho los leal place for a good fair, and If prop orly workod such a fair could bo madq a permanent Institution and gtfnv bettor each year. Louis Macoy also eddrossed the meeting In which ho questioned tho propriety of having a carnival com pnny as an amusement feature. Soc rotary Fisher assured him, however that tho cnrnlvnl company which had Veen engaged bad boon lnvostglatod and had been found ty bo among I ho best on tho roud, and thut It had bocti qngngod by the Loxlngton fair nml other fair associations. Tho crying need of tho fair at pros out is funds to pay for tho lumber for the exhibition hall, some of tho stock stnbles and tho grandstand. To so cure theso fundi) It Is proposed tosell stook in 'the fair association. If $250 Worth of this stock can ho sold, the nasocltttlon will bo la shape to put up tap necossatry buildings in a thorough jy permanent manner. ;:o;;. Strike Aspects Gloomy The; threatened railroad strike took on such a graYo aspew Saturday that President wlioon practically abandon ed further negotiations and turned t congress for a solution of tho prob lem. When It was knhwn Saturday afternoon thnt the railway executives were unanimous in their refusal to nccept lils plan of settlement, Pioeidont Wilson pwrsonally wont to tho rap! tol and laid before Majority Leader Kern of tho sonnto and Sonntor Now lands, chairman of tho intorstato com merco cVxniwtttoe, the stntomcnt of the railway bends that congress must guarantee some source of added rove into if they are .to moot the demands of their employes. How this could bo accomplish I'roaiuont wiison did not BUggost Immediately afterwards, senators bo gun discussing proposals tlo havo con gress record itsolf In favor of a rate IncrooBo. Tho Lincoln county products to bo exhibited at the state fair are being loaded thfs'aftornoon and tho car will bo Bent out tomorrow In chargo of John W. Fowlor, tho south side farm er and stockman. Owing to the long stretch of dry weather during tho growing season the Lincoln county exhibit will not bo qlto up to the standard In nil re spects.

Miss Mary.Craiglo and Miss Mabel Sawyer loft Saturday 'tnlornlng for Wliai is a Fair Rate r for Telephone Service? Our telephone rates aro based on the cost of furnishing good soryice. K H To furnish such a grade of service it is essential that our telephone plant should be well constructed, properly maintained and efficiently operated. Telephone rates have to be high enough (1) to get efficient employees and experts and pay them as good wages as would bo paid elsewhere for equal skill. (2) to pay taxes, (3) to rebuild or replace parts of the property when worn out or when it becomes obsolete, and (4) to pay such a dividend to our present stock holders as will enable us to obtain the money necessary for making extensions aiid improvements required by the public. The public would suffer by a low rate that did not meet these conditions. If we do not make enough money to hire efficient and sufficient help the public suffers from poor service; if We do not make enough to invite new capital to invest in our property the public suffers because needed extensions and improvements 'are not made. Wo feel sure it is for the public's best interests that our rates are high enough to pay our .employees fair wages, to give good service, and to pay a fair return on the money invested, so that our business may attract new money which we need constantly for additional equipment to take care of present and prospective patrons.
