Meeting Sought to Have Highway
on East of Missouri River
Designated No. 75
Let nt chambers of npimerce of
towns cn D. S -75 Omaha to Falls
City i?i Nebraska keen their eyes
open for a united effort on the part
of Iowa and Missouri towns is to bo
made to have the marking changed
to the east side of the river, says the
Nebraska City News-Press.
The cat was let out of the bag at
a meeting In Mound City, Mo., a
few days aso when suggestion was
made that Iowa No. 4 and Missouri
No. 1. paved between Council Bluffs
and St. Joseph, be so well represent
ed at a meiting with the federal
Bureau of Roads that a change in
the U. S.-75 routing would result.
"Pressure will be exerted before
the federal highway commission
which is now in Washington," Bays
tin- Fairfax, Mo., Tribune, "to have
tnis designation (U. S.-75) changed
so that the federal markings will
continue down the east side of the
Missouri river, and in that event
the designation will fall to No. 4
and No. 1 and give us a federal road
through Fairfax. This would mean
an early improvement in the nine
foot slab between the Iowa line and
Oregon, in Holt county, and give us
an lS-foot pavement for the strip."
As an argument for the change,
the Mound City News-Independent,
which is in perfect accord with the
Fairfax newspaper, points out that
the Iowa-Missouri route is 21 miles
shorter than the Nebraska-Kansas
route between Omaha and St.
Joseph.

live in towns along the route has
ieir. actively engaged for a lrm
time ir. getting the route improved,
and there has been no indication
that the federal bureau of roads
contemplates taking away what ,,is
one of the pioiiver highways of, Uje
Middle We.u. but there is every rea
son for Nebraska and Kansas com
munities touched by the road to keep
their eyes open.
Iowa and Missouri paving projects
have run far ahead of the Nebraska
program and probably will continue
to do so until Nebraskans. decide on
a different platform of road-building,
so there is at; argument on the
side of the trans-Missourians that
might carry weight, especially If
there is no opposition from the west
bank of the stream.
The suggestion of a change in V.
S.-75 came at a meeting in Mound
City which was attended by repre
sentatives from b!1 important towns
on Iowa's No. 4 and Missouri's No.
1. A feature of the meeting was a
decision to assess each town a 5
cent per capita tax to be used in ad
vertising the road, the towns sisu
ated on it, and the advantages to be
gained by using it as a "short line"
between Omaha and Kansas City.
Nebraskans who wonder where
the tourist business has gone may
be interested to know just what is
being done by progressive Iowans
and Miasourians to encourage traf
fic for a paved road that undoubted
ly has "stolen" a lot of business
that formerly passed over U. S.-75,

George W. Norris, Broken Bow, gro

ing committee's inquiry into the gro

Weihaiwei, CMnu Two men are
dead, more ;n a score are missing
and thirty-three narrowly escaped
dtath rs a result of the sinking of
the British submarin" Poseidon off
this British port'on the north shore
of the Shantung peninsula.
Shanghai The disaster was due
to a collision wPi the small Chinese
coaster Yuta. Details received here
of the sinking of the submarine were
meager, but it was believed that the
ship was exercising on the surface
during misty weather when the col
lision occured. American naval of
ficers here were totally without in
formation concerning the disaster.
London King George, in a note
sent to the commanders-in-chief at
Portsmouth and Plymouth, conveyed
his "deep sympathy" and that of the
queen for the families of the dead
and missing. Apart from the grief
of Britons at the loss of the men, the
disas'er to the Poseidon is a serious
blow to the British navy.
She was built in 1929 and with
her sister ships Perseus, Pandora
and Proteus, represented practical
ly the last word in submarine con
struction technic. State Journal.
SAYS NEED NEW PRESIDENT
New York Senator C. C. Dill of
Washington, a democrat, returned
from Europe and said he told ques
tioners abroad the depression here
will not end "until we have a new
president."
"Everywhere I went," he said,
"they asked me when a boom would
start in America. I told them it
wouldn't start until we elect a new
chief exectuive. President Hoover
has no plan to end it. He doesn't
want congress to meet. He has no
legislative program. Therefore there
is a widespread lack of confidence and
people hold tight to their money ex
cept to put it into government bonds.
I believe Franklin D. Roosevelt would
be the man to furnish the construc
tive, progressive sort of administra
tion we need."
Nebraska Motor Clubs to Take Steps
to Prevent the Change of
Highway No. 75
V. G. Hll!, manager of the Ne
braska Motor club, In response to
an article appearing in the Lincoln
papers concerning a suggested move
to change U. S. No. 75 which now
runs from Dinah"- south to Platts
mouth, Union, Nebraska City, Au
burn, then south into Topeka. into
Iowa and Missouri, then by diverting
tourists traffic from eastern Nebras
ka. This protest was today com
municated to the D". S. Bureau of
Roads.
Mr. Hill s'a'es that information
ot ncerning No. 75, being hilly, gra
velled, etc., is incorrect, as it is now
almost one half paved, contracts are
let for adidtional paving and con
struction, and an effort is being
made to have this road completed as
fast as possible. He partic ularly em
phasizes that this section is one of
the most scenic sections in the Slat,
ami compares more favorably than
the Iowa or Missouri sides.
There is considerable traffic de
mands for this highway to run south
from Omaha into Topeka. as a con
nection for eastern Nebraska, and
South Dakota, into Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas. It will avoid the
traffic con jest ion of St. Joe or Kan
sas City, and when completed will
offer a quicker road.
Mr. Hill states that tht Motor
Clubs of Nebraska will strongly op
pose such a move front every angle,
as there is no advantage to the travel
ing public, and it is an injustice to
the State of Nebraska, in as much
as considerable road work is now
under way. and this road will soon
be all surfaced.
DEATH OF FRED OSSENKOP
From Tuesday's Jaiiy
Fred II. Ossenkop, prominent
Louisville resident and former post
master of that city, died this morn
ing at 1:30 at the Immanuel hos
pital at Louisville where he has been
for the past week. Mr. Ossenkop has
not been in the best of hea.lt li for
some time and it was decided to have
him taken to the hospital and where
he was operated on for intestinal
trouble, but the condition was such
that little hope of his recovery was
entertained.
Mr. Ossenkop was in his early fif
ties and a member of one of the old
time families of the vicinity of Louis
ville and has been a very active fig
ure in the life of that place. Mr.
Ossenkop has been interested in the
business life of Louisville since hav
ing the postufflce and his death
brings a great regret in his home
community. He is survived by the
widow and a number of brothers and
sisters.
In recent years Mr. Ossenkop has
also been interested in natural gas
wells in southern Kansas.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The subject of the lesson-sermon
at all Christian Science churches anil
societies on Sunday, June 7. was
"God the Only Cause and Creator."
The lesson was intended to show
that God, good is the source of all
that is eternal; that anything unlike
God is without a real cause and that
its seeming existence rests on belief
only; also that unreality vanishes be
fore divine reality. One citation read
from "Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker
Bddy (p. 207). is as follows: "There
is but one primal cause. Therefore
there can be no effect from any oth
er cause, and there can be no reality
in aught which does not proceed
from this great and only cause. Sin,
sickness, disease, and death belong
not to the science of being." One of
the Biblical citations is, "Thou art
worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and
honor and power: for thou hast cre
ated all things, and for thy pleas
ure they are and were created.

STATE DEPARTMENT SCORED
New York The state department
was criticised by Representative
Fiorello H. LaGuardia New York, as
lacking in brains and backbone.
Speaking before the state convention
of the American Association for Rec
ognition of the Irish Republic, he
said: "I cannot understand the for
eign policy of our department of
state and I don't think anybody else
can. The state department in the
United States today is weaker than
it has been at any other time. It
has no brains and no backbone."
He asserted that if the United
States had a definite foreign policy
it would not have antagonized Can
ada "by enacting a wholly unrea
sonable tariff law."
CEDAR CREEK 4-H CLUB MEETS
