; In my last I did not finish Colorado
Springs. The west part of this town is
known as Colorado City, and was the
first capitol of Colorado Territory. We
were shown the old government building
there, which is a small square front
building, about sixteen feet wide and
twenty-four feet long looks something
like H. Kuhney's barber shop, only it is
not so large.
An Old Church.
We arrived at Santa Fe, New Mexico,
at 9:20 a. m. A reception committee
met U3 at Laney and were our escorts
from there until we left, and I wish to
say to you, that of all the hospitality we
have received on this trip, Santa Fe
takes the bakery. Carriages were sup
plied for the entire party, and for three
hours we were in dreamland. We first
visited the penitentiary, then the capitol
building, then the oldest (or nearly so)
church in the United States. The
church is about 24x40 feet; the walls are
six feet thick and built of doby brick.
The church was built in 1530 by Cor
onado, who lived there about two years,
and then with part of his command
moved to other parts and balance re
mained. In 1GS1 an Indian rebellion de
stroyed the town with the exception of
this church and the governor's palace
the walls of which were so thick that
the Indians gave it up. However, they
destroyed the roof and wood work of
both buildings, but the walls remained
and the wood work and roof were soon
replaced and remains to this day the
wood work looks it.
In 1704 De Vardes was buried under
the altar of this church by his own re
quest. The altar of this church is simi
lar to those seen in any Catholic church
of today, except one can plainly see that
the fixtures are very old. Some of the
pictures are older than the church.
We left Santa Fe at 12:30, everybody
feeling that he or she had spent the
most pleasant three hours, so far, on
the trip, and that is saying a great deal.
With a farewell hand-waive, we left
Santa Fe, the greatest, grandest, oldest
and most noted historical town we have
ever been in. And if anybody asks you
what HOSPITALIT Yspells
tell them Santa Fe.
The governor's palace, above refered
to, is filled with Indian curios, Span
ish relics and records, tools and imple
ments of the first settlers, so the entire
building is ajmusium in itself and would
take a full day to see all in it.
Regards to all at home and you can
say I am having the time of my life.
Yours,
Frank E. Schlater.

Crop Reports Give Rise o
Better Feeling Among
Freight Men
In speaking of business prospects, the
Lincoln Journal of this morning says:
'Turlington No. 3 went west last night
in two sections, and No. 3 tonight will
go west in two sections. Trains on the
Rock Island for the west have been
heavily loaded for two or three days,
and the stream of westbound travel,
made a little early by the California
rates, which will soon be a thing of the
past.
"Along with this rush of passenger
business, freight traffic has picked up.
The freight business is nowhere what
it was before the slump came, but rail
road men report a perceptible increase.
A peculiar part of the situation is that
business may be very heavy one day
and drop the next to a much lower level.
The Burlington has been handling a
big orange business and several special
trainloads of Russian laborers have
been taken west, the last consignment
for the week having been moved yes
terday. "Crop reports received have given
rise to a better feeling among freight
men and the belief is now held that
business will slowly come back to its
former level.
"The closing of Burlington shops for
a week has had a depressing effect on
many of the employes, but it is claim
ed that with a revival of business the
company will be required to use more
shop men than ever,- because it has of
late been drawing on stored shop work
to a large extent. Employes say, furth
er, that the situation will be made much
better with the closing of the fiscal
year for the company in June, and that
every energy is being bended now to
make a good financial showing."

The Annual Cass County Log RcSiing;
Saturday, June 27.
Everybody who has ever attended a
celebration, old soldiers' reunion or any
other kind of gatherings in which the
people of that town take an interest,
know that the business men never allow
it to be a failure in any sense of the
term.' They have taken it in hand to
make the Cass County Log Rolling,
which comes off at that place on Satur
day, June 27, 1008, one of the largest
and most successful gatherings ever
held in this county.
The committee which was here yes
terday and the night previous, consist
ing of John Geary Stark, cashier of the
Exchange Bank ; Floyd Walcott, cashier
of the National Bank; Lou F. Lang
horst, the merchant prince of that sec
tion of Cass county; Herman Dittman,
another of the big merchants of Elm
wood; C. D. Clapp, Joe Mullen, and last,
but not by and means least, William
Delles Dernier, the legal adviser for the
entire west side, are made of the sort of
material that do not know what the
word "fail" means. They are enthusi
astic for the log rolling, and have se
cured Hon. William Jennings Bryan for
an address on that day, which in itself
insures an immense crowd. Another
important personage is A. R. Talbot,
the head of M. W. A., and one of the
finest orators in the country, will ad
dress the people on this occasion.
A special train will leave Plattsmouth
on the morning of the log rolling and
stop at all the stations between here
and Elmwood, to convey all who desire
to attend. There are nearly two thou
s?nd Woodmen in Cass county, and the
demonstrations on this occasion by the
order will alone be worth going many
miles to see. Then remember you will
have the pleasure of hearing the next
president of the United States. Take
a day off, and with your family, go to
Elmwood on this date.

It's a Cheap Road Maker The Deparlmenl of
Agriculture Tells of the Split Log Drag
Which Prevents the Formation
of Ruts and Holes.
The last edition of the farmers' bul
letin issued by the United States De
partment of Agriculture is devoted to
a description and use of the split log
drag for building earth roads. The
article is by D. Ward King of Mait
land, Mo., the inventor of the drag.
At present Mr. King is an expert in
the Department of Agriculture.
When the split log drag was first
used by Mr. King in building good
roads his neighbors treated it as a joke.
In a short time, however, it was being
generally used by them, and declared
to be a success.
How to Make the Split Log Drag.
The split log drag can be made by
any farmer. The instructions prepared
by Mr. King follow:
A dry red cedar log is the best ma
terial for a drag. Red elm and walnut
when thoroughly dried are excellent,
and box elder, soft maple, or even wil
low are preferable to oak, hickory or
ash.
The log should be seven or eight feet
long and from ten to twelve inches in
diameter, and carefully split down the
middle. The heavest and best slab
should be selected for the front. At a
point on this front slab four inches ,
from the end that is to be at the mid- i
die of the road locate the center of the I
hole to receive a cross stake and
twenty-two inches from the other end
of the front slab locate the center for
another cross stake. The hole for tha
middle stake will lie on a line con

The following is taken from the Lin
coln Journal of this morning. "T. P.

Cass county, died at 11 o'clock yester- j

street in this city. Mr. Skinner came
here to visit his daughter last Friday.
At noon on Saturday as he was step
ping into a buggy for his return journey
he was stricken with what appeared to
be apoplexy, and never recovered from
the shock. The remains will be taken
to Alvo on Friday morning. The fune
ral will be from the Methodist church of
Alvo at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, and
the burial will be in Belmont cemetery.
Mr. Skinner lived two miles from Alvo,
and was a well known man in his neigh
borhood. He leaves a wife, four daugh
ters and two son3."

necting and halfway between the other
two. The back slab should now be
placed in position behind the other.
From the end which is to be at the
middle of the road measure twenty
inches for the center of the cross stake,
and six inches from the other end locate
the center of the outside stake. Find
the center of the middle hole as before.
When these holes are brought opposite
each other, one end of the back slab
will lie sixteen inches nearer the center
of the roadway than the front one.
giving what is known as "set back."
The holes should be two inches in dia
meter. These two slabs are then to be
fastened togethed by three cross beams
about three feet, six inches long. The
drag chain is hitched to the implement
in such a way that the implement
follows the team at an angle of 45 de
grees. The Cost of Operation.
By hauling the split log drag over a
perfectly smooth surface the earth is
forced toward the middle. After this
operation is repeated on both sides of a
roadwway a crest is formed which
serves as a water shed, preventing ruts
and mud holes.
The average cost of maintaining a
mile of road with the split log drag is
estimated from experiments in Eastern
Kansas and Missouri, is $32.50 a year.
In Ray county, Mo., on a road five
miles long the cost was $1.GG a mile.
This road, however, was of clay and
required little attention.
KILLED BY AN
AUTO IN LINCOLN
Miss Nellie Smith Run Down by Car
Driven by William Coon
A special from Lincoln give3 the par
ticular of killing of Miss Nellie S. Smith
who was run down by an auto yester
day about 1 o'clock by William Coon.
Coon was a resident of Plattsmouth
several years since, and is a Lincoln
dealer in automobile, and at last ac
counts was in the custody of the auth
orities, The special says: Miss Nellie
S. Smith is dead at the undertaking
rooms of Castle, Reeper & Matthews,
and William Coon is at his residence at
1138 G street in the custody of an of
ficer. This is the result of an automobile
accident which occurred shortly before
1 o'clock today. Miss Smith, in com
pany with her sister, Miss Elizabeth
Smith, attempted to cross O street at
Twelfth street. An auto, with Coon at
the steering wheel, swung around the
corner. The woman started back,
changed her mind, and was hurled to
the pavement by the oncoming machine.
She was taken into Rector's drug;
store, where she died half an hour later.
In the machine were William Coon, his
daughter, Caroline Coon, and Carl
Barnes.
The latter, a young man, is employed
by the Lincoln Automobile company, of
which Coon is the proprietor.
Comer Matthews immediately order
ed Coon and Barnes taken into cuf tody.
The latter was soon afterwards releas
ed while Coon was allowed to go to his
home in the custody of an officer. An
inquest will be held at 9 o'clock tomor
row. Miss Smith was employed by the Gris
vvold Seed company. She lived with her
mother and sister at 18-13 Apple street,
and the family is prominent in church,
work. Miss Smith was 43 years of age.
Coon has the reputation of being a
careful driver. He claims he was going
at a speed of two and one-half miles an
hour when the accident occurred. How
ever, this statement is contradicted by
a number of witness who will testify at
the inquest. These estimate the speed
at from eight to twenty miles an hour.
A. L. Anderson returned last evening
from a trip to Red Oak, where he has
been lookinsr after business in his line.
