CHRIST NEBEN,
Bl2-8tw. Alvo, Neb.
The need of a suitable athletic
field for the use of the high school
has long been felt and especially in
the past year when the baseball park
which w?.s formerly used, became so
badly damaged by Rood waters from
the city drainage system as to be
practically useless and which would
require a large amount to repair.
The suggestion has been offered
by many that the tourist park on
Washington avenue, a half block
from the school be secured for this
purpose r.nd in support of this move
ment the civics improvement com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
of which W. G. Kieck is the chair
man, has donated the sun: of $50
to be used for this purpose and which
is the first of the various organiza
tions of the cily to get busy and
join in the good work thot would
give the city an adequate park for
the use of the athletic department
of the city schools for their track
and football activities.
The work on the park will not
be started this fall, however, but it
is expected with the great interest
shown that the work will be started
in the spring to perfect the park
and make it a permanent athletic
field for the school and one that will
be ample to care for the track and
football activities of the school for
the next season. This is a fine loca
tion us If is close to the school and
much more convenient to the pupils
of the school.
WRITES FROM SPAIN
Mrs. K. V. McCrary of this city
has received a letter from, her son.
John A. McCrary. which was writ
ten from Cadiz. Spain, where John
hod stopped for a visit while on a
tour of that portion of Europe. He
had just visiter Barcelona, where
a world's exposition is now being
staged and enjoyed the visit there
very much and also the stay at the
Spanish seaport. While in Spain he
had h opportunity of enjoying a
bull fight, the favorite sport of that
nation. lie states that the country
is the poorest that he has visited on
a trip that has taken him to South
Africa, the South American states
and canal zone and back to, Europe.
Mr. McCrary visited Europe last
year in attending the American Le
gion rational convention and this
year had the opportunity of viewing
a number cf countries that he was
able to see on his previous trip.
From Wednesday's Daily
Count v Attorney W. G. Kieck, offi
cial legal advisor of Cass county.
has been notified by the state de
partment of public works of Ne
braska, through R. L. Cochran, sec
retary, that the state intended to
file an appeal of the award made
here on September 21st by the ap
praisers on the lnnd of Elbert Wiles,
iust south of this city.
The appraisers. O. A. Davis of.
Murray. F. P. Sheldon of Nehawka,
and Charles Troop of this city, found
in their report that Mr. Wiles was
entitled in their opinion to $8,000
in the total sum of his damages be
cause of the use of a part, of his land
for highway purposes, the route of
highway Xo. 75 being placed through
the Wiles farm and cutting of a
tract cf 70 acres from the main body
of the farm.
The state, however, will continue
cn with the road work and expect
in a short time to enter on the Wiles
farm and start the road construc
tion as the district court has denied
the injunction prayed for by Mr.
Wiles and which now permits the
state to start the road construction
after the posting of the necessary
bond covering their appeal of the
award of the board of appraisers.
The paving work south of this city
will soon be ready to enter that por
tion of highway Xo. 75 that is be
ing re-routed through the S. A.
Wiles and Elbert Wiles farm and it
is necessary to have the grading and
drainage ready for the coming of the
paving force.
