ment made and that was that each

threatening and made necessary the
transfer of the festivities to the
home but while the weather might
have been dampening there was
nothing but pleasure in the gather
ing. The rooms of the home were
very pretty with the bright flowers
of the late summer and made a
charming scene.

From Saturday's Dally
While the county commissioners
were here today checking up on
some of the county work, they stated
that out in several portions of the
countv there has been a misappre
hension of the position of the coun
ty board as regards a free bridge
over the Platte river north of this
city.
The county board seven years ago
passed a resolution favoring the se
curing of a free bridge here and took
un the matter, with the Sarpy coun
ty board, which is interested as much
as this county in the proposition and
later the two counties passed a reso
lution asking the state to co-oper
ate in the securing of a free bridg(
here at Plattsmouth.
The commissioners of Cass coun
ty have always been ready and will
ing to apropriate the one-fourth of
the bridge cost that falls to this
county and in late years Sarpy coun
ty has gone to the front with an
agreement as to paying the cost and
::s the situation now stands the state
which has to furnish one-half of the
cost of a bridge has not the funds
available to erect a new bridge and
this reason alone has prevented the
immediate erection of a bridge here
The people of Cass county can rest
assured that the county commission
crs have been ready all the time to
carry out their part of the bargain
if the state could secure the funds
necessary to erect the bridge.
In regard to the present bridge
which is operated over the Platte,
on one holds any harsh feeling in re
gard to the ownership of the bridge
as it is purely a business proposition
and Mr. Pollock, who had the fore
sight to assist in the erection of the
bridge and ran it during the lean
years before the auto traffic became
heavy as it is at the present time,
cannot be blamed for operating the
bridge as long as possible and se
cure a good paying return on his in
vestment and is doing just what any
one else would do under the same
circumstances.
The securing of the present bridge
would merely hasten by a short
time the securing of a free bridge
but a new bridge Is bound to be nec
essary in the next few years under
any circumstances and when the
state can appropriate the money the
county commissioners will see that
the Cass county end of the money is
forthcoming.
THE "DECATUR" HERE
From Friday Dalljc
The much heralded river steamer
of the Western Barbe Co., "The De
catur," which has been for the past
three weeks on the way from St.
Louis, passed this city early this
morning at 7:30 headed for Omaha,
one or the points of destination of
the new river traffic boat.
The "Decatur" Is In command of
Captain Thomas Craig, or St. Louis.
This journey i3 the first step in es
tablishing a barge line on the Miss
ouri river.
According to Mr. Craig, the idea of
establishing such a line has been a
hobby with him for heveral years,
but it was not until a company was
formed early last spring that is was
made possible. Captain Craig, al
though but a young man, has had
much experience on both the Miss
ouri and the Mississippi rivers, earn
ing his way from deck to pilot house,
and is considered by river men to be
one of the best pilots on the river.
The "Decatur" has a hull demen-
sions of 96x25 fett, with a 15x18
foot stern paddle wheel. Its engines
are acpable of developing 375-horse-
power which is said to he greater
than any boat ever operated on the
stream. All of the work on the en
gines was done by Captain Craig
and his two brothers, Winifred and
William, who are also officers of ex
perience on steam boats.
Several features that are not to be
found on other crafts in thes parts
and which are expected to do much
toward making the venture a suc
cess are the light draft of the vessel.
