Aurora. Neb.—Kind Friends: We
have been slow to write you for some
time but we liave had to much to
think about that we lave hardly had
time to write you.
Besides. »e did not know what to
write I thought 1 would wait until
perhaps. I could write and tell you
that this country was again at peace,
but 1 am sorry to say it is in worse
shape than when Mr. Diaz left here,
according to my view of the situa
tion. 1 do not leave home very much
unless business calls me away, but I
had to go to Salina Cruz yesterday,
and 1 knew I would liavetogo through
some dangerous territory. When we
got to the junction of the Fan Amer
ican railroad at (iamboa. soldiers were
sent with us from there to Salina
Crux. The Pan American railroad
has been out of commission for some
ume and it is not known when it
will he repaired The crew were
making good progress last week and
uad repaired one bridge aDd were us
ing another. When the second one
was nnislied. the crew started back
to<>amboa for more repairs and pro
visions. but when they arrived at the
Urst bridge rebuilt it had been burned
down again by the rebels. The jungle
i» thick with rebels who will destroy
as fast as the railroad is rebuiit. and
it is now liard to get anyone to work
on Uie road, as they are continualv in
danger of losing their lives.
Lawt »«k the goverment captured ;
about one hundred rebels on tlie l‘an
American line, and put them in a
box car to be shipped to Mexico City
for execution, but some of them felt
too big to be shipped in a box car, so j
ai! refusing to enter were lined up on
tbe side of the car ano shot on the
spot.
Yesterday tbe train on the Vera
Crur ai Istmo was robbed by the
bandits and they got over #1,000. The
trams ha»e been robbed in that vi
cinity t1 ree times lately. So far we
lia«e n.A been molested here, but we
are looking for trouble any time. We
will stay as long as we can. for we
l,ave property here now valued at
about #4.ooo gold, and should we leave
it would all be destroyed.
We will liave nearly three hundred
colonies of bees at the end of the
present month, and we have been
able to sell them for *16 (Mexican)
per colony and the lioney at JO cents
per pound but at present business is
poor Last tear we sold #1.300 worth
of bees and honey in eight months
Cnited States currency). There are
many different ideas in regard to the
outcome of the present uprising. I
ma> be mistaken, but I think there
is very slim show of the present gov
ernment ever controlling Lhe uprising
oow It will be only a short time,
however until we will know the fate
of the country.
Should we get a good strong govern
meet soon there will be the greatest
rush to this country ever heard of as
are there great opportunities here—all
we need is a settled government.
Tlie Americans seem to be leaving
I>ere at the rate of from three to four
hundred a day as well as other for
eigners, but we are in the most
peaceful part of the republic. We are
enjoying good health and have no
complaints to make outside of tlie
uprising in tlie country. With kind
regards to yourself and our friends
in Aurora and vicinity. 1 remain.
Very truly yours. B. E. Lassos.

Keystone’s
Extensive
Improvements
Which Will Make It One of
Up-to-date Yards
the
For some time, the Keystone Lum
ber Company have had in contempla
tion extensive improvements to their
big plant, but the weather lias been
so rotten they could not go ahead.
However, as the weather gives way
to better conditions, the company is
going ahead with them. They have
already dismantled their old sheds,
preparatory to building a modern
lumber plant.
The improvements contemplated
include a tine office building, immense
warerooms and moulding bins. The
office building, the plans of which
may be seen at their present office,
give evidence of what their new one
is to be. The new building is to be
UbibO feet and 16 feet above ground,
with a basement under the entire
building. The walls are to be of brick
and will be faced on the east and
south fronts with the Coffyville
pressed brick, the finest made. The
building will be divided into three
office rooms, a fire-proof vault and
warerooms. and will be equipped with
all of the modern conveniences, in
cluding furnace heat, water, elevator
and electric lights.
±lie si tus mm aiso i>e up-io-uace. ;
the larger one 40x100 feet, a twin shed !
of the double-deck type. The lower'
deck will accommodate all the com
mon lumber, while the upper deck will
be enclosed and used for the better
grades. The roof is to be constructed
w ith a twelve-foot hood, thus protect
ing the stock from any possible dam
age from the weather, and will lie
covered with Kleet (ienasco roofiug.
These new improvements will per
mit the Keystone to carry a larger
and more complete stock than they
have heretofore been able to do, and
the one great feature will be that
every foot of material will be- in the
dry.
In our great sitgan. "Stand up for
Loup City,” it might be well to men
tion that the plans for these build
ings were prepared by home talent,
showing we have architects with
in our city confines second to none
other, and besides the Keystone com
pany will use none other than home
labor in tlie construction of their
plant.
The plant when completed, will be
one that Loup City can justly be
proud of, and it is safe to say no
town of this size will be able to
boast of a more modern building
and yards than that of the Keystone
Company.
Electric Light
News Good
News along the lines of our electric
lighting system is framing up good
since the weather is becoming good j
also. Wiring is progressing along
rapidly and in all matters pertaining
to the pryposed system things are,
reaching the climax.
The big flouring mill that has been '
in process of moving for the past two :
or three weeks and which has been
held back by the fearful weather, is
now within a few hundred yards of i
the railroad tracks, where it took a
rest Tuesday because of the softness j
of tire ground which made it impossi
ble to get foundatio n solid enough to |
allow it being moved forward. Work
man are busy with teams and w ith 1
men tearing up the frozen earth for !
the excavation ready for the mill,
which is to be at the northeast corner
of E. G. Taylor's lots just east of his j
business office, and by the time the
mill building gets up to that point j
the boys will have the excavation
ready for its resting place.
J ust east and alongside the mill is j
to be erected the brick engine build
ing and power house of the electric
light plant to have a 32-feet frontage
and extending back i>2 feet, the erec
tion of which will begin at once. At
the rear of the engine house will be
placed a big oil tank, with a capacity
of 10,000 gallons.
The old Standard Gauge building,
purchased by Mr. Taylor for a
storage house for electric supplies,
is moved south to the alley, as it
stood where the mill and electric
power house are to be located.
A large flour house. 32x4o is to be
erected south of the mill on the alley
to hold the finished products of the
mill.
Engineers were onJTuesday staking
the ground for the side track from
the B. & M. tracks to the mill, which
will be builded along and three feet
inside the brick sidewalk leading
from the depot to the corner just
west of tlie mill site, which
will be the individual property of
the mill and electric light companies
and will make the loading and un.
loading of the mill products an easy
proposition beside the costly teaming
:--1
from tin; railroad to th« former mill
site, and save the null company
tli nsiimls of dollars in t ransportation.
AH in all. the weather behaving
itself from now on. we will have the
new electric lighting system ready
for arid in active operation before we
hardly realize it is here to make Loup
City a city of the tirst class.
The bodies of the convicts Taylor
and IXtwd have been turned over to
medical colleges, friends of the mur
derous dead rascals not coming for
ward toclaim the IxKiies.
The governor wants all state in
stitutions turned over to a non-parti
san board and taken out of politics.
A good idea.
