( RANT HIGHWAY PROJECT
AROUSES CATTLE COUNTRY
Chadron, Neb., Oct. 14.—Good road
1 rosters of the northern part of the
: ;ate are taking a lively interest in
the movement for the extension of the
l rant Highway to Portland, Oregon,
; id are pleased that the route se
1 ted is through this part of Nebras
1 Last weak there was held at the
Cherry county court house a meet
ing under the auspices of the Com
munity Club of Valentine. Malcolm
MacKinnon, of Rockford, 111., secre
tary of the Grant Highway Associa
lN.v tion, was present and delivered an
address se'.tin; forth the plans for
the develorment of a direct route of
t avel and eventually a paved road all
the way from Chicago to the Pacific
Coast, which will also serve as the
1 sst and shortest route from the east
to the Black Hills and Yellowstone
1 ark. Later in the week Mr .Mac
Kinnon met with the business men of
Cody and Gordon and arrived here Sat
urday to make this city the basis of
operation in the western part of the
state and eastern Wyoming. He said
the marking between Valentine and
Gordon would have to be by driving
three-foot iron pipes, because of the
number of cattle on the trail. The
cattle would knock down signboards
and longer poles. George Jarchow of
Cody has agreed to superintend the
driving of the iron poles.
This movement has already set this
part of the state to thinking about the
roads, and the opinion is prevalent
that there will have to be pavements
cn the main roads between this city
and Valentine in order to make them
usable for trucks and in order to give
the sort of transportation the further
developments of this cattle raising
country requires. Already Ainsworth
is taking steps for the building of a
concrete road northward to the Nio
brara, a distance of more than twenty
miles, and Valentine men predict that
when one community gets a road of
this sort built it will be only a short
time until the ranchmen and towns
people all over this part of the state
'will be insisting on the same sort of
improvement along the line of the
state roads.
Secretary MacKinnon will be the
speaker at the noon-day meeting of
the Chadron Community Club on Wed
nesday of this week.

i DOYLE BUYS OLD HOMESTEAD.
i -
D. A. and E. J. Doyle Buy Holmes
Homestead of 480 Acres.
Lowell (Mich.) Ledger: The Nelson
[ Holmes farm, one-half mile west of
i Grattan Center on the State road, was
sold last week to D. A. Doyle, of
J O’Neill, Nebr., and his brother, of
I Grand Rapids. It comprises 480 acres
' | and brought the huge sum of $48,000
j cash.
The title was held by Frank N.
| Holmes, a grand son of Nelson
! Holmes, who purchased it from the
state 72 years ago; and the farm has
been held by the Holmes family ever
since. For 50 years it has been re
garded as one of the very best, if not
the best farm in Kent county; and this
transaction is one of Grattan’s greatest
farm sales, if not the largest farm sale
in the history of Kent county.
Possession will be given March 1.
The sale was negotiated by Garrett
Doyle, plain clothes man of the Grand
Rapids detective force, brother of the
purchasers.
D. A. Doyle, who is engaged at
present in shipping Nebraska-bred
stock to Lowell, will make his home
here.

surprise party was given at the Zink
home in Sand Creek township in honor
of Mr. Fred’s birthday Saturday even

were the features of entertainment.
At 12 o’clock the friends were seated
and a delightful supper which had
been prepared by the hostess, Mrs.
Fred Zink, was served by four young
ladies. Just before the guests left the
house Mr. Fred was presented with a
very nice chair.
Waiter Sticks to Facts.
The war may be over, but it hasn’t
been over long enough for some peo
ple to regain their former manners.
That’s how it was with Jenks, the
waiter.
“Look here,” said the irate diner,
“there’s a fly in the butter!”
“That isn’t a fly,” said Jenks; “it
is a moth. And that isn’t butter; it’s
margarine. Otherwise your assertion
is correct.”—Pittsburg Sun.
•
Stuart Advocate: W. H. Wortman
of Ashland, Neb., arrived in Stuart
Saturday evening and has assumed his
duties as assistant principal of our
high school. Mr. Wortman has had
many years experience as a teacher

services at this time.
