Road Graveling
a Distinctive C of
C Achievement
Fund Solicitation Accomplished by
untiring jfcrrerts cf the Good
Roads Committee.
The securing- of gravel on the six
miles of highway thru Plattsmouth
precinct to connect up with Eight
Mile Grove precinct graveling on the
Louisville road is distinctly a Cham
ber of Commerce achievement, being
a major goal aimed at by successive
good roads committees of the local
civic body for the past several vears
and brought about this year by re
doubled efforts.
Solicitation of funds was first un
dertaken among residents along- the
highway, the co-operation of gravel
pit owners and trucking contractors
secured, a 0-50 split arranged with
the county commissioners and lastly
the raising of a goodly portion of the
money here in Plattsmouth which is
under way today all these are sue
cessive steps leading up to the actual
spreading: of the gravel, which will
be completed within ten days if the
weather continues favorable.
Chairman Schneider of the Good
Roads committee reported the drive
for the remaining; necessary money
now being conducted here In town is
meeting with splendid success.
Other road matters discussed at
today's Chamber of Commerce noon
day luncheon Included the possibili
ties of having IT. S. 34 continued on
west from Glenwood, to cross the
new bridge here and thence into Lin
coln. The committee that attended
the Harding Highway association
meeting- in Ottumwa. Iowa, last -week
reported Shenandoah was opposing- a
change in the routing;, and the re
routing matter had been referred to
the different county chairmen in the
state of Iowa for ultimate decision.
The securing of U. S. 34 is deemed
of vastly greater importance than
being: on the Harding- highway, how
ever, and efforts will be exerted in
this direction.
The resumption of grading and
paving- operations having- again cut
or, trafflrron'Hlghway No. 75, action j
was taking empowering the execu
tive committee to see that ample di
rections are furnished motorists on
how to get into Plattsmouth.
Progress is being; made with ar
rangements for the formal opening
of the new Missouri river bridge,
which has been delayed on account
of the road being incomplete, and it
is expected this event will take place
in about a month, or around the date
of the Merchants' Trade Exposition
and Style Show.
. The civic body and the bridge com
pany are working together on a prop
osition of providing lithographed
stickers in colors containing- a pic
ture of the new bridge and the short
route it affords across country east to
west, which will be distributed among
local business and professional men
to be attached to letter heads and
envelopes.
Another suggestion that has been
offered of letting- the world know
about our new bridge here is that
everyone in Plattsmouth purchase
four or five post card pictures (there
are numerous good views of the
structure now available) and mall
them to distant friends.
The Industrial committee reported
several prospects of locating small
factories as well as the humorous re
sponse from one manufacturer who
was looking for a bonus.
To View River Work
A motion was passed to invite the
engineers of Woods Brothers Corpo
ration to show their four reel pic
ture on river construction work at
the Legion community building here
on the evening of April 10th. There
will be no admission charge nor any
stock promotion campaign this work
being a part of the general plan to
make citizens of river towns more
navigation-conscious and wake us up
to the fact that what has been ac
complished in the lower Missouri be
tween St. Louis and Kansas City is
soon to be achieved here.
Further encouragement along; this
line is found in the soundings that
are now being: made in mid-channel
below this city, as well as along the
mouth of the Platte and further
north around Omaha.
SHIPPING LAMBS
From Thursday's Dally
This morning Joe Mrasek hauled
two truck loads of lambs from the
Warga farm south of this city, the
lambs being sent to the market at
South Omaha. There were some
eighty in the load and the lambs
which were recently sheared were
feeling the effects of the cold north
wind and huddling together as a
protection against the cold.
ASKS FOR DIVORCE
An action has been filed in the
pfflce of the clerk of the district court
in which Leona M. Hart is the plain
tiff and Robert S. Hart, the defend
ant. The petition asks for a decree
of divorce and sets forth that the
parties were married in this city on
March 6. 1929, that the defendant
has abandoned the plaintiff and fail
ed to support her.

FIND STOLEN CAR
From Thursday' DaJiy
Last evening Constable Tom Svo
"boda was called out to the Trltsch
farm west of the city where it was
reported an automobile had been
abandoned. It was found that the car
was a seven passenger Packard sedan
and was the property of a lady in
Omaha from whom it was stolen on
Tuesday night. The car had been
damaged some In driving a flat tire
suffered and which had evidently
caused the auto thief to abandon the
car and leave It where the author
ities later found it. The car was
brought on here and placed in the
Bauer garage to be repaired and to
await the coming of the owner to
claim it.
TOM TILS ON RAISES SHEEP
It has been aptly said that the
sheep know the voice of the Shep
herd and this is truly exemplified In
the case of the flock which Tom Til
son looks after, for they are with
him as tame as the proverbial lamb.
Mr, Tilson, who with W. L. Sey
boldt, raised sheep, had fifty nice
ewes, and last week, half of the
ewes had presented them with a
half hundred lambs and most all
were growing nicely.
They have thirty ewes yet to pro
duce additions to the flock. The flock
with the mothers sure look fine and
with the fine sunshiny weather are
growing in interests, numbers and
size every day.

To Present
Talks on the
River Program
Films to Be Shown, of Improvement
work on Missouri River at
Early Date Here
The growing realization of the
importance of the Missouri river im
provement as a part of the carrying
out of the inland waterways pro
gram, has led to the docks and har
bors committee of the Chamber of
Commerce to arrange for the show
ing here at a date In April, of the
Woods Brothers films of how the
river is being controlled at different
points and making it possible to
speed the day that the Missouri will
be navigable from St. Louis to Sioux
City.
These films are very educational
and filled with the greatest of in
terest to those who are watching
the progress of the waterways pro
gram of the national government,
they are to be shown free and with
them will be a most Interesting ad
dress along the line of the river
work.
Recent appropriations by con
gress to collect $12,000,000 to the
upper Missouri river program is one
that will permit of rapid work be
ing done and the start will be pos
sible this year at a number of points
along the stream to hasten the day
when waterway transportation will
come to the west and place this sec
tion of the nation on an equal foot
ing with other places that have the
advantage of waterway transporta
tion, to move the heavy and Elow
shipping products of the west to the
sea and also bring in the raw mater
ials needed by the manufacturing
plants that will follow the trans
portation by water.
The trend to bring to the smaller
cities many manufacturing plants
will be further stimulated when the
river is used as one of the means
of handling the Importation of raw
material for these factories.

Missouri Youth
Slugged and Rob
bed by His Pals
Uneonscions Yonth Fonnd This Side
of Platte River Bridge
Last Night
From Friday's Daily
A homesick youth, longing for
the opportunity of seeing the home
town down in southern Missouri,
his trustfulness of strangers and a
few . dollars combined to culminate
in- the slugging and robbing of Jerry
Scott, 18, of Caruthersville, Mis
souri, on highway No. 75 a few miles
north of this city.
The assault and robbery was dis
covered laBt night at 9:30 when
deputy Sheriff Rex Young and wife
were returning home from Omaha
and when a short distance this side
of the Platte river bridge noticed
the body of a man lying along the
roadway and Mr. Young investigat
ing discovered the youth who was
just recovering consciousness from
the effects of his experience.
The young man was brought on
to this city and related his Btory to
Sheriff Reed and Deputy Sheriff
Young and given in a straightfor
ward manner that left little question
of its truthfulness and the youth
and trustwulness of the young man
added weight to his story.
As related by Scott he had been
working at Spaulding, Nebraska, at
farm work and while in town a short
time ago noticed a car bearing a i
Missouri license number and the
boy engaged the two men in con
versation and told of his home at
Carthersville and was delighted to
have the men tell him they were
also from this little southeastern
Missouri town altho the youth had
never heard of them at that place.
The boy expressed the wish to re
turn home and the two men Invited
him to ride back with them, Scott
to pay the traveling expenses. The
agreement was made and the trip ;
was to be started in a few days,
Scott continuing his work and web
joined Wednesday by the men and
the trip started southward. Thurs
day the party reached Omaha and
the two men wished to .stop for the
day and over night but Scott wiBhed
to reach Kansas City where he had
friends and accordingly he separated
from the companions and started
south on foot. Last night the two
men In the car overtook him on the
north side of the Platte and told
him that they had changed their
mind and were going on and that
Scott had better accompany them.
which he decided to do. Getting into
the car the trio started to converse,
and Just before they reached the
bridge, one of the men said he wished
his flashlight and leaning back of
Scott to search for it. The next
thing the young man knew was when
the deputy sheriff aroused him from
his unconscious condition and that
$17 was missing from his pocket.
To the sheriff Scott stated that the
two men had given the names of
Frank and Joe DeLay and they were
driving a Chevrolet sedan. The youth
had failed to note the license num
ber and which has made the task
of trying to apprehend the men more
difficult. All cities in this locality
have been notified to be on the out
look for the car and the men.
