TWENTY FIFTH YEAR
THEIR FIRST ANNUAL
THE McCOOK DRIVING PARK ASSOCIATION IS MAKING
EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS FOR
A GREAT RACING MEET OCTOBER 5-6-7
Besides Generous Plans are Being Developed to Entertain the
Many Visitors Who are Expected to be Here
During the Big Meeting
No criticism will be due the gentlemen of the McCook Driving Park
association if their first annual racing meet October 5 6 7 ie not a suc
cess written in capital letters They have provided a superior half mile
track stables grandstand and the other etceteras essential An inspection
of the racing events of the three days with the purses hung up in each
class shows them to be worth while and will doubtless attract good tal
ent In all there will be 170000 in purses and the association already
has information that the competition will be such in each class as to give
spectators all those who love to see a horse race the worth of their money
The question of entertaining the guests between events at the park
and at night has been given careful consideration Several street attrac
tions have been secured by the association and others are expected so the
association does not contemplate that there shall bo a dull minute during
the meet
Manager Bixler of the New McCook Opera House has been busy also
and announces that he will have new attractions each night during the
meet and promises that the companies will be high class and altogether
satisfactory So nothing to be desired remains unprovided for
The enterprise is being financed by the people of McCook with such
liberality as to guarantee its success Give it a boost
New Headquarters Building
The practical destruction of the freight
house by fire recently has raised the
question of a new and suitable head
quarters and depot building for McCook
The thought is converting the present
depot into a freight and transfer house
and the building of an adequate modern
depot and headquarters building one
that will not only meet present require
ments but one that will anticipate the
growth of McCook and southwest
Nebraska
The present headquarters building
and depot is utterly inadequate and ill
suited for the great volume of business
transacted this is self evident ad
mitted and needs no argument
It is to be fondly hoped that the Bur
lington management will see the matter
in this light and realize for McCook
this needed improvement
Free Inlgation
Write a letter at once to LeRoy E
Dutton Alamosa Colo and he will tell
you all about the beautiful San Luis
Valley which is supplied with free and
unlimited irrigation by the marvelous
artesian wells on every farm The land
can be bought by give away prices It
is of such porous quality that it sub-irrigates
with very little work and is self
irrigating It grows 500 to 800 bushels
of potatoes 20 to 25 tons of sugar beets
50 to 60 bushels of wheat 75 to 100
bushels of barley 100 to 110 bushels of
oats per acre and the farmers there are
getting rich raising field peas which are
planted like small grain grown v thout
cultivation and harvested by turning
hogs cattle and sheep in

Railroad Men Held For Larceny
Brakemen V E Lyon and B F
Metz appeared before Squire Berry
Monday to answer for alleged burglary
and larceny from Burlington freight
trains Lyon pleaded guilty and was
placed under 300 bond to appear at the
next term of district court In default
of cash or bondsmen he was placed in
the county jail Metz was charged
similarly but the charge of burglary
in his case was withdrawn and he was
allowed to plead guilty to larceny of two
pair of shoes He was fined 1000 and
costs and required to pay the price of
the shoes 700 making in all 2155
It seems that for a year or more the
company has been annoyed by occasion
al but continuous cases of burglary
from cars Shippers have been making
frequent claims for shortages and de
tectives have been working to bring to
justice those guilty
While the above are the first instances
of the fruits of the work of the detec
tives other arrests are expected
