WHY NOT A CITY FLOWER?
A number of the ladies of the city
who are firm believers in the idea of
a city beautiful and have made per
sonal effort to see that this is made
possible, have offered one suggestion
that has been used in other places,
and which has proven a real boost in
the beautifying of the community.
This idea is that of a community
flower, selecting by a popular vote or
other method, the, name of a flower
that will be designated the flower of
the city and which is then used ex
tensively in the decorative plan of
the city.
One of the ladies states that on a
recent visit through the state of Iowa
she visited the small town of Payton,
where the citi::tns had adopted the
petunia as the official flower and
used it in their plans for tho beauti
fying of the city. The petunias are
planted in profusion over ihc city
and their bright coloring makes the

Heaviest Snow
of the Year Does
Much Damage
Electric Lines and Telephone Service
Practically at Standstill as
Result of Storm.
From Friday's Dars
The eastern half of the Etate of
Nebraska was held in the grip of
the heaviest snowstorm of the year
today that brought with it a great
blessing to the farmers of the state
but causing much damage to wires
of the light and power companies
and the telephone companies in this
section of the state.
The snow was very heavy with
moisture and mantled the ground
'with a great amount of moisture that
had been badly needed in all sections
and the result of the storm will be to
bless the soil with the water that was
needed in the production of the crops
for the year.
This morning the Lincoln Tele
phone & Telegraph company hed
their force out in all sections of the
city to repair broken lines and the
trunk lines used in the long distance
calls out cf the city were all out of
commission, ,and the fcflty isolated
from communication withthe outside
world while the force of linemen were
out battling through the storm to
place the broken lines in service
again. .
The lines of the Iowa-Nebraska
Light & Power company in this city
were unable to carry the load used in
supplying electric power to the city
and the homes and business houses
that required electric current were
without service for the greater part
of the morning. The line of the
company carrying the current to the
eastern cities in service of the com
pany were without service from early
in the morning and while at inter
vals through the morning the ser
vice was on in different parts of the
city but the task of carrying the
large load was borne by the small
plant here in this city, which was
placed in service by Manager Rea,
but which was overtaxed by the
amount of current being used.
The industrial plants that reauir
ed electric service were handicapped,
and the Evening Journal plant,
whose machinery, and linotypes are
motor operated, were idle a greater
part of the time and which has de
layed the publication of the paper,
as well as tying up the operation of
the presses in the job department.
The bakeries that required the use
of their electric motors were also
seriously handicapped by the break
in the service.

Traffic Survey
to be Made by the

Missouri River Bridge to
Check Up Travel
The Plattsmouth Bridge company
which has in charge the proposition
of the erection of a wagon and auto
bridge over the Missouri river at this

report on which the bonding com
panies that are in touch with the
local company, to make their deci
sion as to the financial backing of
the project.

hard on the proposition and their
securing of the services of the traffic
engineer will aid greatly In getting
the concrete facts as to the flow of
travel that may be expected over the
bridge at this point and give them
some definite facts to present to the
companies that have been approached
on the project of the financing of the
bridge erection. The interest and
the hard work that the officers have
given to the Missouri river bridge
project has been responsible for the
success of the move so far and their
additional efforts in securing the
survey will aid greatly in the pro-
jeer.. - .
The traffic engineers and the local
company should have all possible as
sistance in the carrying out of the
work of reaching the estimate of the

the flow of traffic over the bridge
when erected. The survey will in
clude all of this section through Ne

Great Start
on the Country
Club Move
Many Citizens Sign Up a Part in
This Much Needed Institution
Explain Proposition.
From Patjrdayt nallv
Th successful .piatin for th
past five years of the l'iatt.-mont n
Gulf club has caused many p-..!.-in
and around Plat turnout h to ui:!i
to bring about the purchase of per
manent grounds to eniur; ' the ac
tivities of the golf club to i I! c I ml
tennis, and horseshoe courts, an
equipped playground for children,
and a well-managed club Ihhim-.
Since about two-thirds of the p.olfeis
were members of the Elk's Oi! r a
plan was urged to add to the I'.IU
lodge the tid'lition activities of ;i
complete Country club.
An option has been secured cover
ing the thirty acre tract where t he-
present golf course is located ar d
including the Luke Wiles house an t
garage and the matter ot financing
the enterprise is under v ay. A tax
free first mortgage fur 111,000 pay
ing 5'c semi-annual interest is being
offered to local investors. This mort
gage is a nrst lien not only on me
Country club thirty acres but al-
on the Elks lodge building on Sixth
street. This property gives ample se
curity for the loan. About 12.000
will be used in improving the club
property, the balance being used as
purchase money.
With Nebraska City, Auburn, and
such towns owning and s-.iecefisfully
operating country clubs, there is good
reason why Plattsmouth should keep
in line with these prc prc si-ive places.
The Chamber of Commerce is adver
tising In the Omaha papers to at
tract residents to Plattsmouth. A
board of governors composed of hale
business men ha. been i elected to
manage the club property. There Ij
no reason why this move should not
meet with a hearty response.

The funeral party of Mrs. Martha

to turn back to this city. There was
a short' service held here at the home
of Sheriff and Mrs. Bert R.ed. the
latter a daughter of Mrf. Murray.
Rev. H. E. Sortor holding the Ktr
vices and the cottage had theu
started for Elmwood only to have to
leturn.
The "O" street road was heavily
banked with snow and kIiifIi and cars
were stuck along the road, a number
being blocaded across the road and
which made it impossible- for the
funeral party to go on through the
drifts and bad roads to tluir destin
ation.
It is expected If the weather will
permit, to drive to E'mwoc d Sunday,
where the Interment will be made in
the cemetery at that place.
