Complete Sur
facing of Road
to New Bridge
Gravel from Third and Pearl Streets
to the Traffic Bridge Over
the Missouri River.
The last of the gravel that is
used in the surfacing of Livingston
road, leading to the new traffic
bridge over the Missouri river was
completed Sunday when the contrac
tor placed the gravel through the
city portion of the highway and hook
ed up with that previously spread by
the state and county.
The gravel starts at the end of the
paving at Third and Pearl streets
and continues right up to the new
bridge, making an all season road to
and from the bridge, which will be
a real boon to the persons who may
have occasion to use the highway.
Gravel has also been placed on a
part of First street leading to the top
of Wintersteen hill, and which will
be much, appreciated by the residents
of that section of the city and in
sure them a good road after many
years of having had to battle with
mud and Ice in the winter and
spring seasons.
The bridge company is having ex
tensive grading work done at the
west end of the bridge and when com
pleted will pave the roadway out a
short distance from the bridge and
move their toll house to the center
of the road so that lines of traffic
will pass on opposite sides of the
building.
The completion of the highway
affords a wonderful scenic route be-
ween Plattsmouth and the bridge,
and one from which a great view of
the Missouri valley for many miles
both north and south is available.
The all-weather highway will make
that section an ideal one for residen
tial purposes and in future years it
is highly probable it will become as
attractive a place for homes as the
riverside drive through Bellevue and
into Omaha, along which many fine
homes have been built in recent
years.

sary of Dr. J. H. Hall, one of our

home of Mrs. Oscar Gapen where a
number of the teaching force of the
city also get their meal, and at noon
a large and handsome Angel Food

anniversary. When questioned as to
the matter the Doctor admitted that
it was as large as a ten gallon cow
boy hat and as delicious as it was
large. The birthday cake was cut by
Miss Theresa Haley of the high
school home economics department
and was passed among the members
of the luncheon party. Prepared by
Mrs. Gapen it is needless to say that
it was a real treat in cakemaking.

DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL
From WednendaVa TaHy
The coroner's jury investigating
the death of Clifford McQuinn at
Union, was at that place today mak
ing a general investigation and hear
ing of evidence in the matter. The
inquest was conducted by County
Attorney W. G. Kieck and the wit
nesses in the case were examined to
day, the jury having viewed the
scene of the accident at the Arm
strong crossing of the Missouri Paci
fic several days ago. The jury re
turned a verdict that Mr. McQuinn
came to his death as the result of
an accident and not placing any lia
bility on anyone for the accident. At
the hearing Yale Holland, attorney
of Omaha, represented the railroad
company while the McQuinn estate
was represented by Attorney C. A.

900-Mile Gas
Line to Cross
Missouri Here
Pipe Line Thirty Inches Wide to
Cross Here fcr Supply for
Chicago and East
ror some time there has been
many rumors of the building of
natural gas lines from the Texas
and Oklahoma fields into the north
ern territory to supply the cities
along the route of the lines with
natural gas, and it stems now that
there will be some definite action
secured soon on a number of the
lines.
Plattsmouth has apparently grown
as the most logical place for the
crossing of the Missouri river by the
pipe line that it is reported will be
built from Amarillo, Texas, to Chi
cago, the latest advices from the two
cities being that the line which is
to extend the 900 miles from the
Texas fields to Chicago will come
through southeastern Nebraska and
be carried across the Missouri river
at Plattsmouth and thence through
Iowa to the great lake cities of Chi
cago and Milwaukee.
The line will be thirty inches in
diameter and will be the largest so
far built.
According to the agreements .that
are said to have been made, four of
the largest interests in the natural
gas world will be interested in the
line, the Cities Service company,
which will build and operate the
line, the Standard Oil Co., of New
Jersey, the Texas-Columbian Car-bcn-Skelly
interests and the Insull
interests.
These companies have long been
interested in the development of a
line In the new territories of Ne
braska, Iowa and Illinois and this
great line from the Texas field prom
ises them a realization of their home.
The building of the line through
this city should be a most important
step forward and make for a greater
development when the opening of
navigation on the river should make
the river cities a greater attraction
for manufacturing centers of all
kinds. This city is splendidly sit
uated for the location of plans In
the richest section of the west and
with every natural advantage and
the restful home atmosphere of the
small town and the nearness of a
great city as an added attraction.
