One observer tolls us of fifty autos passing a given point last summer in five hours. An other counted 900 cars which passed ono station of tho Lincoln highway In ono day. Such figures are tribute to tho gonius of man in constructing hard roads along this Platto valley. But' out of the past conies a story so wonderful that, tho traffic of today Is almost boyond notice. Hero is the story ns told by W. H. McDonald tho other day: "I remember my mother telling of a count sho mado ono day in tho lata '60s. Sho and father hitched up a horso to a buggy and drove some twelve .miles east of our store which was at Cottonwood. It was an early summer day and mother amused horsolf by counting tho wag ons, drawn by oxen all going west. Sho often repeated that sho counted over nineteen hundred wagons that short distance.." There were no roads, there wero no bridges. Tho dust was tcrrlblo at times and tho mud 'as bad at others. Tho wagons followed tho trail but often cahio'on six to ten abrest, fording streams and dragging tholr load through tho deep sand. No camp awaited thom nt night. Thoy wero not furnished fuel and water with a shower bath thrown In, They choso their own camp, put out guards at night, warded off tho maraudin: Indians and rustled water ,and fuel from tho surrounding country as they went along. The figures given by Mr. McDonald aro not unreasonable a9 thero aro several printod accounts of from , four to five thousand wagons imsslnc stations In, ono day. Such was the Overland trail and wo havo nothing UJday which can equal It in romanco and wonder. SUN TODAY-- . VMadoo'nas and Men." Also Charlie Chaplin ' in "The Idle Class."
