Still Another
Railroad Schclne
Ex-Sheriff Tom Leisure Figures That
a Competing Line to Omnba
Will be an Easy Stunt
MONEY ALL THAT IS NECESSARY
For man ) ' years various cltiCns
of Brol n Bow and vicinity havc
worked their think-tanls overtime -
time in an cffort to evoh'e SO\11C \
pIau of connecting Omaha with
this city by ra it ll' a more direct
line than the Burlington and in
competition thereto , but for one
rcason or anothcr the plan was
not feasiblc euough to rally
sufficicnt strength to award it
more than a passing thought.
The proposcd plan to build a
road from Brokcn Bow to Loup
City seems to have come nearer a
solution as to bow it can be doue
and 'fom Leisurc , in order' to
pcnctrate Omaha , gocs into thc
details to a certain extent , pub-
lishcd in- the Omaha World-
Herald. hS follows :
It A I' a iI road 0'J1c < l a nd opera ted -
ed by thc farms , for the , people ,
r11twing from Brokell Bow to
Omaha , a distance of . .bout 200
mi1cd-1 hat is the uniquc idea of
1' . A. f4eisurc , one of the .leading
farmers of Custer county and a
former sheriff , residing at Brolcn
Bow.
'l'he striking fcature of Mr.
C4cisure's plan is lhe manner in
which the road would be financrd.
His id a is to secure from all the
farmers betwrcn Broken Bowand
Omaba owning farms on either
side of tbe road for a distance c.f
thirteen miles , each way , stock
subscriptions oft an acre. This
would amount to SMO for every
section of land in the tw nty-six
Inile wide strip , or $16,640 per
mile.
, "County Surveyor VanAnt-
werp , of Custer county , bas done
considerable surveying in oUf
section of the cOltntry , ' 1 says r.
Leisure , "anhe. ( \ . utates that
ther is no question tbat the
road can be bUilt and equipped
for $10,000 or $12,000 per mile ,
so tbat the sUIp of $16,460 per
mile which would be rea1i ed
wou1 < 11eave q wide ulargin to go
on. The road would follow Clear
creek and .platte vall ys down to
Qmaba , and there would be little
grading necessary.I' I
An important feature of Mr. !
Leisure's plan is thc' provision for :
preventing the road fro iug
exploite(1 and s01d D\\t \ to one of
the pig railroad systems.
All of tbe farms in the prescribed -
scribed Jwenty-six-mile ; wide strip
would be incorporated in the
project and the shares of stock
would g = > with each farm.
When the farm is sohl , the
shares of stoc would go with
it. Furthermore. it would be
provided tbat only bona fide
settlers along the road could acquire -
quire stock. A speculator or any
person other than a resident of
the territory along the railroad
would not be allowed to own
stock. In'this manner , the far-
mcr would retain absolute control -
trol of the. road.
"Such a road , " said Mr. I.lei-
sure , "could be run at cost. The
farmers would not need to have
dividends de'c1ared. The increased -
creased value of their property
would more than pay a handsome
Interest on their investment.
"Here we would have a road
which would not owe a cent ,
with no bonded indebtedness and
not a drop of water 111 the stock.
" ! have talked to a number of
competent men and no one has
yet offered any reason why such
a project would not be s4ccessful ,
"The farmers in Cuater county
are almost unanimDus for it , and
I am sure that the same senti.
ment would be found all along
tbe proposed line.
"Omaha IS our natural market
for our hogs , our grain and our
cattle. If we coulq get a direct
line to Omaha to market , our pro.
ducts at low rates we would be
immensely benefitted.
"Omaha would be a gainer.
In fact it has been stated to me
by one Omaha man that tbe sum
of $150,000 could probably be
raised in this city as a donation
to further such a project.
I "If any man can show why
, such a plan is not feasible I
would like to hear from him. "
,
I Some time ago a plan was pro-
I posed at Brokcn Bow to build a
l ue to Loup City along liues
sunilar to thc Drolen Bow-Oma-
I hn project. ,
Mr. Lcisure took up the mat-
tcr and evolved his present idea.
He Rhowed that a plan to build. .
to Omaha' would be more desir-
: t ble as the Loup City road would
onl)9 be a hranch line for one of
the big roads.
'l'he matter has been agitated
in the Custer county press and
sentiment of the .farmers and
busincss men has been enthul3ias-
ticnlly in favor of Mr. Leisure'q
idea ,
Senator Burkett Coming.
As announced last we k , Scna-
tor E. J. Burlett will give an
address in Broken Dow onVcd -
ncsday evening Qf next week-
Junc 19. Senator Burkctt is well
known as art entertaining and
, forceful spcaker , and it will be
well worth while to hear this
brainy and progrcssivl's , reprc-
sentative of the great state of
Nebraska. He comes in the
Entertainment Course of the
Junior Normal , and while no admission -
mission will be charged , those
who hold season tickets will be
entitled to reserved seats. Tick. .
ets are on salc at Wqtl' & boole
store. The qddress will be given
in the Temple Theatre , and a. .
cdrdlal invitation is e tend _ to !
all to -'prcsent. .
r r Fee taw frohibU Spoiled E g , .
Beginning with June I , 1907 ,
some new laws went into eiTect
which w 1l have a marked effect
upon the eg'g market. Shippers
will buy cggs only by the dozen , ,
instead of by the case , as former-
ly. and eggs will be paic\ \ for ac-
ac ordin to the graQc in which
th y belonc- .
No 1 eggs : Sound , good si e ,
full , fresh and reasonably clean.
No.2 eggs ; Shrunken , dirty ,
small , washed an cracked eggs.
Eggs graded as above will en-
able. all dcaler who ship to the
large markets of the country to
pay better prices aud the price
to the producer will be .higher ,
and the Nebraska egg will take
a higher rank in all Inarkets of
the country : 'l'here is no better
quality of eggs than that , pro-
duccd by the corn fed ebraska
hen , when marketed while fresh.
Owing to the pres nt system of
buying egg case count , eggs are
oCten held until tbey take Iecond : !
place and sometimes third place ,
tnstead of first place , all owing
to the large per c nt of 01 < 1 eggs
'contained in a shipment that
arrives on the market.
Do not wash egs , as eggs
washed can be easily detected
'and' will be paid for as No. 2
eggs.
CAUTION :
The attention of producers autI
dealers in eggs is called to tht :
fact that both State' and National -
al Pure Food Laws forbid the
selling of eggs that are unfit for
food.
'l'hc following statement made
by the chief of bureau of ichem-
istry of the department of agri-
c'.tlturc ( in reply to an inquiry
rcgar ing eggs ) would indicate
that dealers who handle inferior
grades of eggs will be subject to
the Pure Food Laws :
"The food nd drug act distinctly -
tinctly forbids the sale of foods
that consist in whole or in part
of filthy , decompose , or putrid
animal or vegetable substances.
, It seems that goods that
bave started to decompose would
come within this class. They
will probably consider this matter -
. ter in connection with the en-
forcemcnt of the food and drugs
act. " .
Will Celebrate Its
Fiftieth Anniversary. .
Preparations BeiDg Made for a Rousing
Celebration on the 4th of July
at Grand Island. .j :
FEW OF FIRST SETTLERS STILL LIVE
- -
On July 3 , 1857 , an emigrant
train , which had treleed its weary
I why out across the plains from
Davenport , la. , came tu a halt in
the Platte vallev , about a Utile
south of the present site of Grand
Island. Its occupants decided
that at least for the ni ht they
would halt there. 'I hey hacl
come out with the purpose of
locating in the Platte vfLlleYt in
the central part of the state , and
layout a town , which it was
hoped might ome day become
the .capital of the United StateR
-when bamls of steel should
ha.ve connected coast with coast.
On the next day , the morn of
the nabon's natal day , they decided -
cided to stay where they were.
And takes were placed amI the
first li'ourth celebrated in a new
home.
Of that colony the Messrs Fred
Hcdde , Christian Menck , Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Joeknck , WUt.
Hagge , Wm. Stolley , Mrs. John
Thomssen , Sr. , and Cay Ewoldt
still remain as residents of Grand
Island ,
The ) have outlived prairie
fires and their destructiveness ,
thc tires being set by roving
desperadoes. the Indian troubles
dUring the time of the Civil war ,
the grass hopper sieges , the
drouths.
Shall wonder that Grand Island -
land , on the ourth , is arrang.
ing to ce ebrate the semi-centen-
nial anniversary in a most elaborate -
ate manner.
To the S. S. Convention.
It is requested that all tbose
'who are going to attem ! thc
Statc S. S. convention at Hastings -
tings arrangc to go on No. 40
from Broken Bow at 8:20 : a. m.
Monda" June 17 , so that we may
arrive 111 time for reception. Let
us have a rousing delegation from
old Custer. Yours ,
J. M. FODou.
I
! CQnf derates in Waahington. I
! A correspondent at the National -
I . al capital tells how that city was
captured last week , for the first
time , by soldiers of the Con
federacy , as follows :
"The last few days in Washington -
ington really should go down in
history as Confederate week.
'fhe men in gray and the Daughters -
I ters of the Confederacy practi-
caU , took possession of the
I nahonal capital , and for the first
time in history a column in gray
marched down Pennsylvania
ayenue from the Capitol to the
White house. It was a pathetic
hamlful of the former warriors
under "Jeb' ! Stewart and Stonewall -
wall Jackson. Each of the
marchers carried his old arms
wbether it was the cavalry saber
or the heavy musket affected by
the infantry' those stirring
times. Headed by a band , the
veterans of a passing day marched
down the avenue with the stars
and bars fluttering beside tbe
flag of the united country. A
large number of veterans wb.
attended the reunion at Ricft-
mend came here to call at the
White House. There were a
number from l { ntucky who had
fought in the great struggle under -
der General Morgan , They told
the President that if he were
again in neel of rouh riders
they were ready Cor service. Mr.
UoosevelC told his visitors several -
al stories and they went away
highly pleased. "
