More Komi Building. The long expected activity of the Burlington In Wyoming will soon b In evidence. The company Is now asking for bids on forty-five miles of track connecting KIrby with the Northwestern's Lander lino at Sho tdiuul. Work was begun on the line between KIrby and Thermopolls. General Manager George W. llold rldge yesterday made this statement In Omaha, Immediately following his return from Chicago: "Surveys have been made and we are now asking for bids for the con struction of the line from KIrby, forty-five miles south to a Junction with the Northwestern road, west of Shoshonl," said Mr. Holdredge. "The lino will move south through the Big Horn gorge from Thermopolls and will pass over the top of the dam and power plant of the Big Horn Power Company and then fol low the river to a point west of Khoshonl. We will begin the con struction of the road at onco If the bids for which we are asking are what we consider reasonable." : '"No arrangements have been made for the use of tho Northwest ern tracks from Shoshonl to Orln Junction where tho Northwestern Joins the Colorado & Southern, owned by the Burlington," snld Mr. Holdrrge. "However, thnt the line Will be built to connect with the Northwestern." This link Is a part of the second line to be built by the Burlington from Nebraska to Wyoming, and Is dost led In time to be tho low grndo freight line from Nebraska to the north const country, via Hastings, Kearney, North Platte, Bridgeport, Guersney, Orln Junction, Shoshonl, KIrby, Fannie and Billings. This line was financed at the time of the paiile, and plans were mnde to be gin throwing dirt all along the line from Kearney to Wyoming and In Wyoming. In fact . some grading was done along the line of the North Platte River when the flirt an nouncement was mnde. Tho use of tho Thermopolls can yon was at first Intended but when the Burlington got ready to build Asmun Boysen had begun tho cou nt ruction of tho enormous d.un at the entrance to tho canyon and the railroad pwipl,. thought they were nh in out ffum .utdng the canyon be cause t r llio' h (ht to which t'io lntn"w'as'io lie built. Kevciiil sur veying outfit were put lulo-tho (It'll nd n strenuous effort wns mnd in Hnd a line' thnt VoM jvrhilt the Burlington in ioh Hie mountains without .using th,. gorge. Although nevernl (irvet w made. It whs found the tiecessnry tunnels and cuts would rout tho Burlington $1.000.. Oft) nmre than If It used tho gorgo.Af. to use the gorge from Thermopolls to Boydsen's dam and so to make the grade thnt the road would pass over the da'm. . This route will give the Burlington one of the most pictur esque rca.ls. The rocks rise oiij each side of tho river to a height of 900 feet and the road will bo blasted along this cliff,' high enough above tho river to cross over tho top cf the dam. State Journal. .Makes Pleasant Call. James A. Walker, wife and little grandson, Walker Gllmore, were vlsltore In this city today, driving up from their homo in Murray to do some trading and to visit with some of their friends. While here they called upon tho Journal and It Is quite needless to remark, they were heartily welcomed as the Journal apreclatos having such good friends as Mr.. and Mrs. Walker. Young Mr. Gllmore displayed commendable curiosity while hero and looked the Journal's printing plant over to his entire satisfaction. Mr. Walker re ports that Murray yesterday had a very heavy rainstorm, the same ex tending down the line of the Mis souri Taclflc for miles. The rain did some damage to fields and wash ed roads quite bndly In places. It was one of the most severe rain storms of the year. The roads were quite muddy for several miles north from Murray although as the trav elers approached the city proper It was scarcely notlcable. Mr. and Mrs. Walker and grandson will re turn to their home this afternoon The llqulllbrlum. as long as every origan in our lodn does Its work regula.iy. we say Mint the body Is In Its equilibrium or In plain language, evenly bal nnced.

The meeting of the Commercial Club held last evening at Coates Hi' 11 accomplished quite a good deal cf work, especially In regard to lin ing up various matters which the Club has bad under consideration for several months past. There was ntt the attendance which the Import ance of the meeting Justified yet those who were there were well sat isfied with the progress whlcbj was made. A report was made to the club by the members of the Fourth of July committee from last year. This com mittee is adverse to holding any cel ebration this year as other towns In the county have arranged for cele brations and there Is no desire to In terfere with them. Celebrations are booked for Louisville, Murray, Elm wood and Greenwood which Is ample for the county. The committee did favor having some music for July th, when the shops were closed. This Is merely for the entertainment of those who stay at home that 'day and in no sense a celebration. The committee had funds left over from last year and concluded to use them this way. So there will be music on Monday, July 5th. . ' The matter of holding an 'annual fall festival vas taken up and dis cussed by the members present and It was the opinion that such a festi val be had. The president of the club was authorized to appoint a committee of five to arrange for this. It is not Intended to have a street fair In the strict sense of the word but a regular fall festival backed by the merchants. The list of at tractions nnd the like will be worked out and a date selected which -will not Interfere with other attractions. The prime object of this Is to ad vertise Plattsmouth and to afford people from tne neighborhood a place to go and spend a jolly week. This committee has not jet been named. nother highly Important matter taken up wa3 the booming of Platts mouth made goods. A Home Indus try committee was appointed to for mulate plans for encouraging the consumption of home made products. When It is borne in mind that the best cigars In the country are made In this city and local merchants still sell foreign manufactured goods, the field for work by this committee can be realized. The city also has a broom factory capable of supplying the local market with the best of brooms and the commltee will do Its best to promote the universal use of Plattsmouth made brooms. The city also produces as fine a grade of flour as any and the use of home made flour will be encouraged by the com mittee. The Plattsmouth steam laundry does as good work as the best and yet laundry Is sent away from town. The patronizing of home laundry work Is to be urged by the committee. Local Ice cream manu facturers make as pure and fine flavored cream as the market : af fords yet some use foreign mnde cream. The committee will urge the pntronage of local manufacturers. The field mlght,be extended Indefi nitely but the committee will look after all the several Interests of the local manufacturers. President Fal ter will appoint the committee short ly. One of the best features of the meeting was a talk by Mr. L. D. Hlntt of the Olson Photograph Com pany. Mr. lllatt reviewed the rise of this Industry from one capitalized at $250 to a large business employing many people and paying out more money for help that any Institution on Main street and second only to the Burlington shops. The stage of development of this enterprise had reached the stage where moro room was needed nnd daylight power nee esary. Steps will be taken by the club to aid In securing these things and to develop the enterprise ns It should be. Another highly commendable step taken was to secure a committee to advertise the city. This committee Is to be appointed by President Falter and Its duties will be to devise ways and means for getting this city be fore the people. It Is a highly com mendable Idea and If the right pari ties are chosen It should accomplish much good. Altogether the meeting made a good start toward helping liatts moiith and It Industries and If th pace Is kept up the city cannot fall to. benefit. the pa?t twenty-four hours. It will soon be out of its banks and have the entire bar under water. Yes terday and today the water has raised about a foot and a half and It Is now higher than at any time this year. It is now commencing t. go Into the sloughs on the Iowa side and floods the low spots. The Platte river Is also rising now and there is no telling where it will stop. Heavy rains have been prevailing on the Platte water shed which has added to the snow water from the mountains and the river bids fair to touch the high mark. The Missouri above Omaha is rising slowly as far as Blsmark, N. D., but whether It will reach the high point of last year Is problematical. The Missou ri is cutting steadily away at the sand bar north of the city and there is a chance of Its eating its way back Into the old channel along the city front. There is large quanti ties of drift running among it be ing many full sized trees which have been undertermined at some point along te river as they are In full leaf and have evidently been top pled Into the river in a very short time. The government snag boat James B. McPherson went down the river this morning about 7:10 o'clock, re turning after a trip to Sioux City. The vagaries of the Missouri river are being strikingly exhibited dur ing this rise. Above the mouth of the Platte and opposite the station of Henton the river has been mak ing a heavy cut Into the Nebraska side and is now within a few miles of LaPIatte. It is eating its way way through and will soon have the point of land which separates It from the Platte torn away when the current will cut into the sand bar north of the city and just east of the water works. If it does not again change there Is every reason to be lieve it will come down through the bar east of the wnter works and swing in next to the west bank. The current at the bridge has been swun? east by this last freak of the river and is row running on the east side of the center pier something it had not done in years. Usually the current has been between the center and west piers of the bridge. The current of tho Missouri river swings from side to side and when It cuts on the west It is strongest on the east side below where it Is cutting.
