RACE IS HEART BREAKER
Not since the dash of the "Fly
ng Dutchman" several months ago'
has the cily been stirred by a
sporting event as it was last night
when a try was taken at the world'-s
100 yard dash record by two well
known employes of the local Bur
lington shops that we will call for
this occasion, Bill and John.
For days and even weeks the dis
cussion has waged as to who was
the most fleet of foot. William, the
proud decendent of the kings of
Ould Ireland or John, whose ances
tors came from the sunkissed vine
yards along the Rhine. Friends of
the two men have argued and wag
ered as to who could win the title
in the dash on the cinder path and
the affair culminated last evening
in the trv for the 100 yard dash.
As the two men came rr their
work a. I the Burlington shop it wr;s
e'eciued that the test of pr iw?ss
sh.iViu take place and before the
audience of their fellow workers
should be tested the question of
who was the champion of speed.
The men lined up. and the signal
to start was given, the men like
trained kings of the race track.
sprang forward from the mark, tne
crowd cheered and it seemed that
the race was on in real earnest, but
ere many steps had been taken John
fell, tripping it is claimed over his
own feet, but anyway measuring his
length on the cinder track, while
Bill sped on. seeming like a flash
which later he proved to be. John
recovered his poise and again dash
ed onward toward his foe and when
it seemed that the crown of victory
was just about to be placed on the
brow of William he became posess
ed of the impression that he was
at first base ana slide into the
cinders for a try at a safety while
John with a rush of wind that he
had acquired in his long work as
dance promoter, came by and
under the wire, the winner, v ll-
liam by a few steps was deprive. I
of the honor.
So now when the question of
fleetness of foot is suggested John
can truthfully throw out his chest
and say, "Look Me over Girls" or
as they used to say it "The King
Is Dead, Long Live the King."

Commissioners
Plan Extension
of Road Grave!
Five Miles from This City to Platte
River and "0" Street Road to
be Hard Surfaced.
From Friday's raily
The board of county commission
ers of Cass county at their session
this week took sKps to. advance th
graveled roads of the county in the
pas-oner of a resolution that the nr xt
gravel propositions that were plaed
in the state and federal aid highways
ii the county would be that of jiic
King 01 Trails highway trom the
north end of Webster boulevard at
the northern bonndry of the city, to
the P-lattti river, and tin1. "O" street
road from the Lam-aster c.unty lin
eisst as far as fun is may be available
for the completion of t1:is road that
extends from the Lancaster county
line eat to the village of I'liion.
where it joins the Kins: of Trails
highway running north and south..
The commissioners voted to have a
three inch surfacing of th gravt l
made ar.d that the width of the road
ways should be twenty-one fet.
The action of iJie .commissioners
should assure the early action of the
state highway HMia,i;t,erii on tie
hard surfacing of the. twe important
nrt.eries of travel that -have already
been partially started and which are
to be taken up iu. the order of their
seniority iu the files of the state and
federal aid movement.
The King of Trails, whs the first
federal and state aid road to be
formed in the county, and in fact
smons the very first, in the state, and
:t has now been graveled from the
Otoe county line to Plattsmouth. lin
ing routed over the paved streets of
this city to the northern boundry,
leaving but five miles of the project
lemaininu in this county to be com
pleted to lhe Platte river, the boun
dry liac, and from there north the
improvement work will ! in the
hands of the Sarpy county road au
thorities, as Douglas county has
their part of the highway complet
ed.
At present the King of Trails is
hard surfaced from the Nebraska
line below Falls City north. to Platts
mouth and from Omaha south to the
Fort Crook main gate, leaving a dis
tance of only about ten miles, half
of it in Cass and half in Sarpy coun
ty, to complete the work.
Vast strides were made last year,
when the 17 miles from here to the
Otoe county line and the entire dis
tance from the south Otoe line to
Falls City was graveled. . linking up
with Otoe county's program of the
year before.
The "O" street road has been grad
ed and arranged for the surfacing.
under the direction of the state de
partmect of public works and will,
when completed, serve a large terri
tory . in the southern and western
part of the county and allow them
easy' travel to and from the county
seat, wiiich at this time they find
rather poor at times.
The action of the board will be
transmitted to the state department
of public works for their action as
soon as they are ready to take up the
lf20 program of improvement of
the state and federal aid highways.
With the money available from the
gasoline tax. it will be a matter of
but a short time until further road
siirfacing can' be done in Cass coun
ty, and among the projects that will
doubtless receive early consideration
are the Red Ball from Murray west,:
the Louisville road from Plattsmouth
to the Louisville precinct line, and
the Greenwood road from the west
Louisville precinct line to join up
with the D L D at Greenwood.
A few years will work wonders in
this line, as attested by northern
Iowa roads, where the improvement
program was started several years
ago and has resulted in many of the
main arteries being now paved, while
in many counties every so-called 1
"farm-to-market" highway is gravel-
surfaced.
