Commercial Club Holds Meeting
The members of the McCook Com
mercial club were in important session
Tuesday evening of this week with a
fair attendance
Proceedings of last gathering were
passed upon also a few claims against
the club
Reports were received from the Fourth

pletion of modest plans and arrange
ments for the coming Fourth
The census committee reported failure
of plans to take a census by city aid and
the club determined to have a census
taken and to guarantee the financing of
the same
The sewer question was raised by the

Reference was made to the quite un

J E Kelley local agent for the Lin
coln Land Co announced that he had
information from President Morrill of
the company that the deed for the city
park was being prepared for presenta
tion to the city of McCook as promised
which was a source of much satisfac
tion to the club insomuch that the
secretary of the club was instructed by
vote to write the thanks and appreciation
of the club to the company
The question of the vacation of the
road leading from the city to the middle
river bridge was injected into the pro
ceedings and resulted in considerable
discussion but no action The president
of the club was authorized to appoint
five members as a committee to confer
with Supt Eaton over the matter
Mr Lewis of the traffic department
of the Burlington being in the city was
introduced to the membership by Agent
Scott of the company
Opening of Reservation
The Crow Indian reservation com
prising 1000000 acres just south of
Billings will be open for settlement in
June Registration will commence At
Sheridan Billings and Miles City June
14th and close June 28th Drawing to
determine order in which selection of
land may be made will be held at Bill
ings commencing July 2nd
The value of an 80 acre irrigated farm
in that locality is at least 5000 an acre
or 400000 35000 acres will be put
under irrigation at once under the
government plan which is to day nearly
finished 100000 acres can be splendid
ly irrigated from Big Horn River
The Crow Agency is one of the most
magnificent tracts of land in the country
which is falling as a prize to the people
of the west a very large area of land will
be drawn for in tracts of probably 80
acres possibly 160 acres The number
of prizes to be drawn for is therefore
very large and the chances are all the
greater for any one individual getting
one of these rich prizes
The round trip rate from McCook to
Sheridan or Billings will be 2000

The Middle River Bridge Road
i By reference to the proceedings of the
meeting of the city council held on Mou
day evening of this week it will be seen
that the middle river bridge road ques
tion hns reached an important and
urgent stage The company on that
date went before the council and for
mally asked for the vacation of the road
leading from the foot of Manhattan
street to South McCook alleging among
other matters that the city has net now
and never has had any right in the
premises other than those given by per
mission and sufferance of the company
The Tribune believes the record will
show however that the ruad in question
was laid out iu 1883 and that it has
been used for almost a quarter of a cen
tury is known by present residents of
McCook So that some rights have
been acquired in that way as well as in
legal and formal ways by the county
However if the city has no rights and
the way in question isa county road as
the record shows it seems to The Tri
bune that it is superfluous to apply to
the city officials for its vacation and that
the proper place is to go before the
county commissioners who if any have
jurisdiction in the matter
But this is by the side of the main
issue to the people The peaple want
the road kept opeft either by subway or
by viaduct The company wants to ex
tend its yard trackage over the present
road If they do this and there is no
doubt it will be done in the near future
the road will be dangerous to traffic by
the people So it is necessary to either
close the road or to excavate a subway
or construct a viaduct Either the sub
way or viaduct carry with it the
question of drainage and especially is
this true of the more desirable method
the subway A proper subway would
settle the question right and for all
time But this raises the grave ques
tion of finance which seems to be the
great obstacle in the way
But notwithstanding the obstacles
in the way it is up to the city or county
officials or to both as well as to the
people of McCook and to those in South
McCook and south of the river to see
that every possible effort is made by
them to secure the most favorable set
tlement they can of the question
Either the subway or the viaduct at
the present road and crossing is pre
ferable to the viaduct proposed at the
ice house crossing and the opening of a
crossing south of East McCook between
ahalf and a quarter of a mile east of the
present road4 It seems to be a question
of finance largely The Tribune hopes
he people and the company can strike
a harmonious arrangement and that the
present road may be held and that at
the same time the company shall secure
the enlargement of its yard facilities
demanded by the increase of their busi
ness at this point
