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.

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.
