Secretary Bare of tho Chamber , of
Commerce received a telegram yes
terday from, Congressman Klncaid in
which ho announced a decision of tho
Interstate Commerce v commission
that an additional 12 reduction in
freight on hay would go Into effect
on December 27. It seems that thirty
days notice must bo given to tho rail
roads before such nn order becomes
t effective. It is supposed that this 12 i
percent Is in addition 'to the 10 per
' cont which was ordered to go Into
w '.effect on tho 20th of this month.
' Ono precaution whlcn wo are urged
" to observe In fire prevention Is to

.is to keep Uie,f lues in good order. One
snouiu mako certain before putting up
tho stoves or starting the furnaces in
tho fall, that the flues are safe. If not
certain, call someone who will know.
After tho fire, one usually tries to ex
cuse himself by saying that'he did not
know the fluo was defective. Thnt Is-a
good excuse but it does not mend tho
damage done by lire.
After extensive perllmlnary tests
of tho soil and moisture conditions
on tho court houso site, it has been
decided to uso sixtoon foot piling
under tho foundation. -.-Borings,
showed that a yilck layer of hard
pan could bo reached at that doptn
and It was decided to have the pil
ing, rest on this hardpan. It will
tako over ono hundred piling to sup
port tho foundation.
A delegdtlon of men Interested In
tho North Platto-Oberlln Highway

of Lincoln County yesterday to make
report on tho road selected and . to
got a decision In tho matter. It
seemed from tho dlscusElon that the

on from Oberlln, Kansas to McCook
and froin thoro to Maywood. It has
been decided that tho route is to run
south from North Platte to the
Votaw school house. Tho conten
tion aroso as to Maywood by what
road is known as tho east road or go
by way of Wollfleot. Arguments
wore made back and forth by tho del
