STKRLIXG IX AIHPLANE.
(Sterling Dally Advocate)
Perhaps marking tho advent of the
aeroplane for commercial purposes In
Sterling, J. E. Nelson, president of
tho Storllng Dry Goods company, ar
rived by tho air route hero this after
noon. Tho big Curtis piano whirred
over Sterling about 2 o'clock and
hundreds of persons rushed to win
dows or Into yards to sco tho mnchlno
as It circled In tho sky. After flying
at a considerable height ovor tho city,
the pilot drove to the flold north of
tho fair grounds, whore the landing
was made. A large crowd assembled
in short order to sou tho machine at
closo range.
Mr. Nelson and Pilot Reed E. Davis
made tho trip from North Platte, Ne
braska, In two hours, stopping en
route at Ogallala vfor gas and oil. E.
L. Hallgren of tho Sterling Dry Goods
company had Intended to announce
Mr. Nelson's coming, but ho was tnkon
by surprise. "Wlillo readlnir n tnl ncrrnm
of his coming, Mr. Hallgren heard tho
aeroplane over the city.
It Is the nlnn of Mr. Nol
Pilot Davis to remain ovor night. Mr.
Davis had planned to furnish rides for
persons or sterling who are unac
quainted with this novel thrill, but lie
found the landing flold so rough that
he will be unable to do so.
The passengers In tho plane brought
a greeting from the publisher of the
North Platte Tribune to the Advo
cate. Aviation Is gaining considerable
popularity at North Platte, according
to the visitors. A company is being
organized there and Mr. Davis plans
soon to establish a training school.

HAISE IN' VALUES NOT

"I nm umittornbly opposed to nny
raise In property valuations in Lincoln
county," said County Tronsurer Soud
or yesterday, "and I bnso my opposi
tion on the fact that wo can get along
without a raise. 1m time that people
loam to economize and a good place
to stnrt economy is rlth public offici
als who have tho mnnngemont of city,
county and stato governments. With
tho natural Incroaso In taxable proper
ty, and the furthor fact that tho auto
mobile tax will materially help our
road fund by relieving tho cwiinty com
missioners rrom expending any money
on the main traveled road from the
east to the west line of thu counts-, wo
can by exercising economy got along
without raising property valuation nnd
not get our accounts In the red.
Tho Union Pacific rallrotd has ono
into court to fight tho elnt per cent
raise made by tho ntato board of rs
sossment. and If tho Court rules tho
eight per cent raise unyust and un
warranted, then it would bo unjust
ror Lincoln county to rnlso Its valua
tion oven eight per cent, for cortnlnly
our property valuation is as fair and
Just as It now stands as Is tho valua
tion of the Union Pacific. A few years
ago the Union Pnclflc went into court
and resisted a rals,o and won' and then
went Into court and tried to show that
tho taxable value of real estate In this
and other counties was too low, but
tho court decided against tho Union
Pacific. Here wns evttfenco that the
assessed value of both railroads and
tho real estato was fair. Keep tho val
uation at the presont figures and we
will get along all right."

A Standard for
Automobile Buyers
One of the essentials that determine the value
of an autombile to you is the ideal of the dealer
who sells It.
The best car for the money and the best servipe
behind it that is our ideal. Ask any of our cus
tomers and you find that -we bend every effort to
maintain this standard.
We are proud of Dodge Brothers and Chandler
Cars, because we know they represent value. And
we are equally proud of our organization here in
North Platte because we know its service to our
customers is all that experience, ability and facil
ities can make It.
we will be glad to talk with you about automobiles.
