Ills talk was protty good even if It was quite extreme and we were qnoylng It because he w a ready siteskor and was taking a shot at nliBOat overyone Tfien lie not to talk Ing about the lillotere. Someone said ho inoant odltors so we thought It was tlmo for ub to go. As slntori In these columns some tlmo ago, wo aro In favor of no cele bration of the Fourth of July nt North Platte next year. Wo holleve that the otlior communities In this county are entitled to know what North Plutto- Is going to do so that thoy can vlan wisely and early as to what thoy aro going to do. Thoro Is a Htrong senti ment nmong tho business men, that wo would llko to soo our neighbor ing towns colobrnto noxt year. If this Is tho thought of tho majority of our business and professional men, lot's mako It known nnd glvo tho oth er towns a chanco to do tholr host. Ono of tho best meals wo lmvo catrn for n long tlmo, wo had at homo tho other night. No ono but tho family' was thoro and It was sovon o'clock whom wo got soatod at tho table. Part of tho family called It suppor and part ortlled It dlnnor. That Is tho reason wo started out by saying It was a meal, But what mado tho monl so de lightful was a plato of mountain trour, well cooked nnd browned to a turn. Thoy woro a prosont from Leslie nnd Ira Baro and thoy had caught thorn In "Wyoming, cleaned and salted thorn and brought them cloar to North Platto for us. Wo certainly appreci ated thorn and If our vocabulary has any words to express our omotlon that aro strongor Mian "thank you" thoy nro "como again gontlomon."

Tho husbands of. people who have done all of those things, as old frlonds? Tho Board of County Commission ers was in session yesterday and in consultation with tho County attorney j and assistant logul talent as to what) I ; boat to bo done. Tho now lawn ' require the Commissioners to con tract as soon as possible for ropalrs to bridge and yet do not provide more than half tho monoy to pay for them. Such a contract was ontorod Into somo time ago with ono of tho big bridge building concerns and it iias takon the matter sorlously and has put a lot of men and machinery nt work cloarlng up tho wreckage and making tho temporary repairs. Now there does not seem to bo any money in sight and it Is uncertain Just what to do. The Commissioners are un certain. Somo aro urging the Com missioners to call off all repair and construction work nnd allow tho peo ple to mako the noxt movo. Others say tho bridges and culverts aro nec essary and that a speclaj levy should bo mado and tho tax collected this year to pay for tho wholo thins. Others lmvo otlior plans and propos itions but all call for monoy In largo amounts. There Is a gonqral feolina that had tho' peoplo of the County understood tho situation that tho vote would lmvo boon different Of course thoro is somo local fooling to bo taken into consideration, Ono part of tho County does not llko ono pf tho Com missioners so It Is against the bridge proposition; nnotuor part of .the County Is not In need of bridges and so It does not see -the need of build-i ing bridges. Another part of the coun ty boob n business disadvantage fir Itaoir If tho bridges aro not built so It ia ngnlnst tho bonds nnd so on thorp are Innumerable strings leading In different directions, each bolng pull ed by someone who hns something to gain. But when those havo all boon taken Into consideration, thoro Is still tho larger ract thn Lincoln County cannot make any permanent progross or tako Its place among tho leading counties of tho state unloss It has good substantial roads and hrldgoi. Those will cost lots of monoy for Lincoln county Is about four times ns largo as tho avorago county of tho state and so should havo about four times ns much monoy for roads an.l bridges. Tho doclslon of tho Com missioners Is ono of groat Importance nnd thoy nro taking tholr tlmo to havo It as nearly right as possible.
