PRESIDENCY OF
GiVIC BODY VERY
MUCH S
MEETING FINDS THAT CHOICE
OF HEAD HARD BECAUSE
OF DECLINATIONS.
FAVOR GRAVELED HIGHWAYS
Condition of Roads zz Present Time
Shows Need of Drastic Action
To Prevent Reoccurrence.
From Friday's Daily
The Chamber of Commerce met
last evening at the public library
auditorium to take up the all-im-tortant
matter of the selection of
officers of the organization for t he
year and as the re i:!t of the ir.ee 1
ing v. hen it closed there was a ques
tion in the minds of all just what
was the Etatur- cf the ;.Cice of shipper
of the civic body.
The chamber had followed ihe
precedent of other years and had a
nominating committt e appointed thai
ijreught in a list of two candidates
for the different offices and right
earnestly did the .Members register
their wishes -i:t.i"--J' ct1?!;: fai'vd
to make a hit with fne present ociu
pants of the presidency and secre
taryship who at once arof-e and with
one ftil swoop scattered the planu ol
the committer and the chamber to
the winds as it were.
President Davis stated, after the
ballot, as he had before, that he
would not accept the ofUce and this
statement did not mean maybe, and
this stand was also ake;i by Secre
tary Ed Fricke. who has toiled with
the job of record keeper the past
year.
The. discussion then waxed gen
eral and strong urgings failed to
move the officers who stood as firm
as the rock of Gibraltar and with
their back to the wall they refused
to be considered.
To attempt to arrie at some defi
nite action it was decided to take an
informal ballot and this was done
with the result that A. H. Duxbury
was unanimously elected secretary
and oncf more the crown of leader
ship was attempted to be thrust on
the brow of President Davis, who
again refused to stand hitched and
announced that the meeting had se
lected Henry Goos as the head of the
organization although Mr. Goos had
earb" in the proceedings refused to
allow the use of his name, and both
of the presidents left the meeting
vowing that they were neither one
accepting.
The nearest that there was to an
arrival at a definite decision was the
passage of a resolution on the mo
tion of Henry Schneider that the
other three elected officers. E. H.
Wescott, vice president; A. H. Dux
bury, secretary, and E. A. Wurl,
treasurer, select a president if the
condition demanded and in case
neither Mr. Davis nor Mr. Goos
would accept the honor.
Aside from the election the chief
discussion of the evening was grav
eled roads and there was no one in
the meeting that was enthusiastic
over the proposition of taking some
definite action to get organized for a
county wide movement for good,
permanent roads in the coining year
which would be fit to travel on in
bad and wintry weather.
The discussion covered the meth-
;ods by which the graveling could be
I attained in the county so that all of
I the roads that were most heavily
1 traveled could receive attention be
fore next winter. The different
roads will probably require separate
action as the federal aid highway
will have one consideration from
having federal aid, the Red Ball
highway through Murray to the
west, and the O street road will also
fall under the list of state aid roads,
and in addition to these there are
county highways, maintained strict
ly by the county that should have at
tention. It was decided to appoint a com
mittee to confer with the residents
of -Liberty, Rock Bluffs, Eight Mile
Grove and Plattsmouth precincts to
i arrive at some definite method of
action that would insure some result
and which will begin to function in
the near future and should bear
some definite result as far as the
county is concerned.

SOME BULGE IN
TRAFFIC OF THE
C, B. & 0, R: R,
Grain Loading is Heavier Than For ;
Some Time Export Oil Busi
ness Also Adds Revenue.
From Friday's Daily
Burlington freight traffic has
phown a recent increase. More grain
i.i moving. The Nebraska district of
that road is now loading more than
two hundred carlor.ds of grain a day.
Some recent special movements have
also added to business. Thursday a
special train load of thoroughbred
horses for the Denver live-stock show
pa?fed through on the way west.
Two trainloads of Minneapolis oil
were handled from Casper during
the week. Then the export oil move
menfof three sixty car trains a week
has started, where the Burlington
handles the business from Casper to
Centralia, 111.
While local passenger business re
mama guod because of the condition
of the roads, an improvement in road
conditions, permitting grain hauling
is given as the reason for a gain in
grain loading. The roads are still
rough, too rough for high speed
auto travel, but hard and firm mak
ing grain hauling possible. At one
station near Lincoln Wednesday ten
teams were seen at the elevator.
The export oil traffic is expected
to continue for some time. Three
trains a week will be turned over
o the Illinois -Central at -Centralia
for forwarding to Baton Rouge. La.,
where the oil will be transferred
Trom tank cars to tank ships. As
he empty oil cars must be returned
that makes the two-way movement.
Considerable coal is moving and
the hop shipments continue heavy.
