Lincoln county farmer
opensyneyv, market for
milk products.
Theodore Meyers, a Lincoln Coun
ty farmer, who recently disposed "of
his Interests In tho placo formerly
owned by Albert Haspel, has opened
up a modern dairy In the building on
tho west side of Locust strcot be
tween Sixth and Front. This la a two
story building which haB been used
from time to time for various pur
poses but has recontly been acquired
.by Mr. Meyers and put Into good
shape for his dairy. Tho interior has
been remodeled and decorated white.
Some modern machinery has been In
stalled for tho manufacture of Ideal
Creamery Butter and Ideal Ice
Cream. Wagons will cover the city
from this dairy with supplies of
fresh milk and cream, which is be
ing collected by motor from tho
farmers and rural dairymen each
morning. Mr. Meyers contemplates
addition on tho front of tho build
ing which will bring It out totho
Locust street side walk. Ho plans a
modern sales room for" dairy pro
ducts In this room and expects to
enlarge tho lines ho now carries as
opportunity presents. This addition
to North Platte's facilities for taking
care of : tho milk produced In this
territory should make for the pro
sperity of North Platte and Lincoln
County.

NUMBER OF SURPLUS FREIGHT
CARS REFLECTS VOLUME
OF BUSINESS.
Following is an editorial from tho
Lincoln Trado Itovlow which usually
1b about right on trade conditions:
Tho American Railway Association
reports that on March 31st there
were nearly 49G.000 surplus freight
cars, the largest number of Idle
freight cars in tho history of Ameri
can railroads an increase over the
week ending March 23rd of over
36,000'cars.
This record shows a steady decline
in the numbor of cars loaded .week
by week. This condition during
March was attributed largely to the
rapid falling off In tho use of cars.
for tho transportation of coal and
with the exception of tho extreme
southern districts for which there
was little change In the number of
surplus cars; for the month of
March, every other district in the
country at tho closo of March report
ed an increase in th0 car Biirplus as
a natural result.
Tho week by week reports show. a
falling off In tho total trolgitt re
venue as well as tho number of cars
loaded. With tho movement of grain
apparently on tho Increase, It is
evident that the great falling off In
tho movement of coal both on ac
count of tho season and further clos
ing of some industries more than
overbalances the probable gain thru
the grain movement.
