Mr. Frantz was home over Sunday and reports that a large delegation from the northern part of the coun ty was before the Itoads committee of the house last week protesting against the disignat ion of O street as the official highway through Cass county. Mr. Frantz laughingly re marked that when they told him they would get him in the next elec tion if he did not favor the Mnr dock route, he remarked that if he did his home people would get him if he did not. so he saw his finish as a legislator, but he should worry. The fact stands out bold that O street is the logical route and even if the Murdock route were paved the O street would have the bulk of the business because it is the nat ural highway. True it is some ben efit to Otoe county, and the Mur dock line would benefit only Cass county, but the United States gov ernment is paying r.O per cent ol the cost and the State of Nebrask? a large share of the balance, and if is hardly probable that these fundc will be available tor the r,ole benefit of a few inteersted in the establish ment of a new road which lias never been traveled and in all probability never will do to any great extent. The federal government is in the good roads business - to establish permanent, convenient and direct highways for the benefit of all the people; not merely to place a paved road in front of some individual's property. Of course after the main arteries are built latteral roads may come, so in time every road will be a paved road, but for the present it is a hundred to one bet that it will be O street or no road through Cass county.

FEDERAL ROAD LOCAT ED AT LAST SOME MINOR CHANGES IMPROVE ON ENGINEER'S ORIGINAL PLAT SUBMITTED. BEST ROUTE FOR THE COUNTY And One Accessible Alike to Those Living in North and South Parts of County. From Saturday's Daily. After much consideration in the state legislature over the designation of the hard roads which are to be established in this county, and con stitute a part of the "Federal Aid" road system of the state, the report of location of the Cass county road shows that but few changes have been made from the original draft submitted by the engineer, and in these instances the changes are read rly seen to be for the best interests of the tax payers and citizens of the county as a whole. Altogether, there is much satisfac tion expressed over the county in the designation of the route chosen to receive state aid. True, the road west from here through Jouisville would have been the most conveni ent route for Plattsniouth people. but realizing that it is situated too far from the central portion of the county, our ctiizens did not press the advisability of such establishment be fore the lawmakers. The original draft as submitted by the state engineer, took into consider ation the interests of the people of Cass county as a whoirv and those of i portion of Iincaster county as well, and provided that the road should continue directlv west from Murray PUBLIC AUCTION! The undersigned will offer for sale at Public Auction on the Dovey Section, three miles east of Cedar Creek, six miles east and two miles north of Louisville, and nine miles west of Plattsniouth, on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27TH, The following described property, to-wit : Eleven Head of Horses and Mules.

AULT, Clerk. to Waverly. as this would make the distance shorter from the east end of the county to Lincoln, and accomo date no few of the people living in Lancaster county as well. Another proposed route was one across the southern part of the county, and its advocates pressed their case before the legislature with considerable ac tivity, yet, are willing to admit that the route chosen is best for all citi zens of the county as a whole. The new road as outlined in the committee report will run from Mur ray due west to a point a half mile south, of Murdock, where it contin ues south into Elmwood, thence to the west and south through Eagle, where it joins the road leading from Nebraska City, which also passes through Eagle, and the two are united from there into Lincoln, thus saving the expenditure of keeping up two roads. The route chosen, aside from being centralized in the county, possesses numerous natural qualifi cations which make it feasible as a state aid road, principle of which is its freeness of hills and the fact that it is at present in very good condi tion for improvement at the minimum of expense. Not alone is this road one that will respond readily to the money and la bor that may be expended on it, but one that will accomodate citizens of the entire county, and those passing through the county. It is to be hop ed that roads running north and south from this highway will be im proved to the limit, thus giving the county as good a system of roads as any county in the state. Let every one stand behind this federal aid road movement and do his best to keep the highways in first class con dition this summer. RETURNS TO HIS WORK WITH ARMY From Saturday's Daily. Fred G.
