rifamt. s THIRTY-FIFTH YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEB., OCTOBER 21, 1919. No. 81 o r th Stent mum mat NOltTK PLATTE SHOULD WtOVIDE LANDING FIELD LOCAL AM) PEKSONAL E. F. Scoborgor expresses tho opin ion that North Platte should provide a pormannont landing flold for alrplalns. basing this belief In view of tho prob ability of a trans-contlnntal air mall sorvlco by the government and the natural growth of nlrplano ' travel which Is certain to como, Many citlos havo already officially designated landing places for llyors and through taking this step hope to secure recog nition as a control station or as a recognized and established landing flold. Aviators agree that tho Platte val ley is tho logical routo for all east or west bound filers to follow. Tho wide river is not only a natural guide, but tho widenoss oftho valley permits of a forced landing anywhere. A tract of land containing six or eight acres with tho length of the flold about six times Its width would bo needed, and should of course be as nearly perfectly level as possible. The flold must bo marked so that a flier can easily discern it while a thousand feet In the alrt and tho four corners should bo lighted at night. At tho start other needs on the field would bo a supply of gasoline and lubricants for sale, but eventually hangars would probably be necessary. ::o:: Trying: to Reduce the High Cost of Living.

On January first next tho Lincoln Highway from North Platte oast to the sounty lino, a distance of about thlrty throo miles, will bo turned over to tho state, nnd It will bo maintained by state and federal aid and will bo under the control of tho state highway com mission, or, state engineer. In othflr words It will pass from the control flf the county commissioners. It ii expected that early noxt spring the graveling of the road will begin, and hy fall of noxt year this thirty throe mllo stretch of road will un questionably bo In such condition that the auto driver can turn his wheels Just as fast as ho doslros without en countering high spots, low spots or stretches of sand; in fact it will be as good road as is possible to make of dirt and gravol. Gravol for tho road will be obtained from the river and will be screened as taken out Machinery for digging, screening and loading gravel arrived at Suther land Saturday and tho work of grav eling tho Lincoln Highway between that place and North Platte will start In a fow days. Contractor Wholnn has completed grading this road to a point oast of tho Baker school house, and with fair weather will poon havo' completed that work Into orth Platte. The work of graveling the road will be continued during tho wintor, or at least when the . weather permits, and the work will probably be complet ed oy spring In this work tractors and dump wngons will bo employed. Whon the highway west Is graveled, the work of graveling the highway east will begin. This will give Lin coln county, fifty-two miles of gravel surfaced road running oast and west. JTho highway from Sutherland west to the county line will sooner or later become a state projetct, and will also be made Into a porfect dirt pond, thus giving us a splendid highway cloar across the county. Tho passing of this sixty miles of road into the hnnds of tho state, and to bo maintained by tho state, will re lieve the commissioners of the ex pense of maintaining Just that much of tho county roads, and will give them more funds to devote to other county roads.
