PERKINS COUNTY CP.GPS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD At an early hour Tuesday morn ing an auto accident occurred on O street just east of Eagle which , should prove a warning to young people who indulge too freely in all-night pleasures. A young man from Hamburg, Iowa, who gave his name as W. M. Paine, and a young lady from Lin coln, whose name is withheld, were j returning from what they said was a two-nights dancing spree," when she simply could not longer stay1 awake, and cushioning her head against the shoulder of her escort, forgot her troubles and pleasures. The young man at the wheel reso lutely stuck t his job, but finally forgot his responsibility, and the next he remembered they were both picking themselves up from an in voluntary contact with a telephone pole. Perhaps Henry also got sleepy at least he left the road. The car was somewhat damaged, but run under its own power to town for repairs. The lady was pretty badly cut up, as was also her escort, but after first aid from Dr. George Schoeman. Harry Ilenton, Rex Young and William Sporer, the latter two from near Murray, drove out to Perkins county last week. On their way out they stopped over night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Seiver, at Buffalo, and report them getting along nicely. They then stopped at North Platte and called on George Frater. "What 'cn 'ell do you want?" was the greeting George gave them, but they knew him of old and had a most en joyable visit. Mr. Frater sent his best regards to all his old friends in Louisville. Mr. Schoeman reports crops looking fine in Perkins coun ty. Wheat is averaging about 20 bushels, oats fair and corn in excel lent condition. Mr. Schoeman has a quarter sec tion of fine land near the town of Grant and is well pleased with the crcp outlook. Mr. and Mrs. Henton returned by train.

PEEPAEING FOE ENCAMPMENT the fall of the river at this point were all greater than the engineer had thought possible and he readily believes that the project is one that can be made a great success. This power plant project is one that would seem to offer one of the greatest opportunities for this part of the state to secure a great supply of power Irom the use of the river and at a very low cost compared with that of otlwrrompanies that have to construct and maintain plants that are a great expense and which nec essarily makes the most of power much greater to the consumer.
