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

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

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

taken Into consideration, thoro Is still

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

War First In Mind of Kafir.
The Kafir's ritual of worship, such

Throughout these ceremonies there is

might expect, but mainly it ! pure pa
ganism, and the god whom they de
light chiefly to' worship is their god
of war Glsh.
