W Starr -who attended the meet
ing of the Nebraska Circuit association
recently made his report The McCook
association has been invited into mem
bership but the dates allowed do not
seem to be opportune for the local
association and the matter didnt look
good to the stockholders
The president of the association who
was a strong factor in the success of
the initial meet is opposed to the gam
bling feature of horse racing which
augurs well for the cleanness of the
meeting along that line
The dates for the mid summer and
tall meets will be announced in due
time officially by the board of directors
into whose hands the matter was placed
The scope of the association will be
determined later

Commercial Club Meeting
The regular session of the McCook
Commercial club was held in the club
rooms Tuesday evening with a fair
attendance
The reporfrof the depot committee was
received to the effect that their plans
were already matured and contemplated
the expenditure of about 62000 in ex
tensive rearrangements and improve
ments to the present structure and the
addition of a considerable extension to
the west of the old building one story
high
Messrs F M Kimmell E H Doan
and M O McClure were appointed a
committee to push the matter of a city
scale and the committee will take up
the investigation of location cost etc
in the near future with the hope of
securing favorable action on the part
of the city council
President Barnett in a short talk re
ferred to the W M C A building
project and it is thought the club will
be in the ranks of the boosters when the
committee shall have plans matured
Brief reference was also made by the
president to the coming city election
urging the voters to give the matter
deserved attention and interest
The advent of new and young blood
into the club recently was also a matter
of comment and pride to the president
and satisfaction to the club

Nevr Pipe Line Necessary
Investigation proves that the water
pipeline from tho city to the City or
Longview cemetery has become worn
out and practically worthless and will
have to be replaced before water can be
served to the cemetery coming season
It is claimed the lack of satisfactory
service at the cemetery last year is ex
plained largely by the fact that most of
the water pumped out into the line was
lost in the rusted pipes This is a vital
matter and will doubtless receive the
prompt attention of the city council
