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

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

tending down the line of the Mis

did some damage to fields and wash

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

was scarcely notlcable. Mr. and

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.
