NEW HIGHWAY ACROSS

Oshkosh. Neb.. Dec. 22. The new

way, which met a serious stumbling
block at the Morril county line on
account of po;r roads at the eastern
side of the county, has been given
new life by support of the Alliance
Chamber of Commerce and the Com
mercial club at Broadwater.
Plans are now under way for work
on the Ah miles of the highway now
in poor condition. When this stretch
is completed the road will be in fine
condition' through the entire state,
beginning at a point north of Jules
burg, Colo., and ending at a point
due north of Chadron. Completion of
the $CO.00O road from the North
Platte river valley to the table land
