PORTER'S FAST DAY WINS IN
STRAIGHT HEATS.
GOOD EVENT FOR NEXT WEEK
Four Fat and Equally Matched Ani
mals arc to Content for the Honors
of the Track Good Attendance and
Large Bunch of Steppers Out.
IKiom TliiiiMluy' Dally. ) . ,
The mnttnuo of races prepared by
Norfolk horse owners for the tracks
notth of the city Wedm-mlny afternoon
was quite well attended , hut owing
to the fact that not enough carts wore
obtainable there wore but four en
tries , although there worn a nice
bunch of roadsters In the stables at
the track.
A nice smooth bay mare owned by
.1. Porter won the race In straight
heats. Paul , Nordwlg's black mare ,
was second , Martin llrubaker's bay
horse was third ami F. .1. HaniHby's
roadster came under the wire fourth.
Bach of the contestants showed good
turns of speed at times In the race
but Porter's bay mare by Union Me
dium , jr. , 2:1.1-14 : , was conceded the
more speedy of the bunch.
It IH now arranged that If the
weather keeps good to have another
racing matlnou next Wednesday after
noon at ,1 o'clock , when the starters
will bo Minnie Wllkes 2:20 : , Reuben
3V , 2:18 : , Lottlo Medium 2:20 : and
Annie Rush. The material In this
race promises a good one from start
to finish and should draw a largo
crowd , as It will be well worth seeing.
The Interest In speedy horseflesh
Is showing a rapid development In
Norfolk and the prospects arc that

bo some Important additions to the
bunch maintained here.

OIL FOR ROAD.DRESSING
A New Plan Which is Worth Investl
gallon.
I IH ) lUllUWlIlK IKJI11 ail
: ells how the public highways are
rented In California , and II Is n plan
.hat will bear Investigation by the
Norfolk Commercial club. It Is un-
lorstood that the roads In California
that nro subjected to this treatment
m > sandy , much more so than oven
the most sandy roads In Nebraska , so
that If used here It ought not to re
quire such an amount of oil as It
does on the coast. California pro
duces crude petroleum , but the dif
ference In the cost of dressing the
roads In that manner might he made
up by the smaller quantity that would
bo necessary here. At least the plan
Is worth looking up.
The Sacramento paper says : Sta
tistics compiled by the state depart
ment of highways show that Cali
fornia has now 2,755 miles of roads
which have been converted from
dusty and frequently almost impas
sable highways into excellent ave
nues by the use of crude petroleum
oil as a road dressing.
Out of the fifty-seven counties of
California , at least forty counties now
have oiled roads. Out of the 2,775
miles of oiled roads , 552\t , are city
streets. In addition there are 1,099
miles of oiled railway roadbed in the
state.
The first experiment in oiling roads
was in 1S9S. It was found that when
fill \vno n nnHojl tt Immnrltn inlt * lioivfin
to bind together nil the loose parti
cles and formed n stratum resem
bling asphalt.
Eastern road experts are showing
a deep interest in California experl
meats , and when the next good roads
congress is held oiled roads will come
up for considerable discussion.

CITY ENGINEER ROSEWATER CONSULTS -
SULTS NORFOLK OFFICIALS.
ADVISES A THOROUGH SURVEY
With the Plan All Mapped Out the
City Can Undertake Just What It
May Require and Add to the System
From Year to Year.
fTrom Thursday's Unlly J
In accordance with previous ar-
angements City Engineer Andrew
losowntcr of Omaha arrived In Nor-
oik yesterday on the noon train to
innsult with Mayor Friday and mom-
iors of the city council regarding the
imposed sewer system for Norfolk
ind remained In the city until thin
nornlng when he left for' North
'Intto where ho has similar business
o look after.
Mr. Rosewater was able merely to
ipproxlmatc the possible extent of
ho sewer and the cost of construe'
Ion. ,111s advice wns that a thorough
ind systematic survey of the city
should be made with the necessary
ilats and blue prints , the driving of
itnkes and other engineering details
0 get the city in readiness for the
system. Then It will be possible to
Igure the cost of the system to a del
or. With this Important preliminary
step taken It will bo possible for the
city to construct as much of the ays-
cm as It desires and add to It as
lecds demand. It Is the desire of
unity of the citizens nnd Mayor Frl-
lay expresses it as his belief that
such a system bo constructed as will
ake care of the Surface drainage as
veil as the entire sewerage of the
Ity. This can be done in such pieces
is the city desires after the main pipe
ms been laid and the plans for the
lalanco of the system are completed.
The best will be none too good for
S'orfolk and In this way the sewer-
igo and drainage question will boidls-
losod of for all time.
It will therefore be up to the city
ouncll to determine whether It will
; o ahead and hire this platting done
ind the necessary surveys made.
The matter will li : taken up , at the
icxt meeting of the council and a
lecislon reached whether the work
shall proceed as advised by Mr. Rose-
vator.
To Control the Gulch.
While lie was In the city Engineer
losewater took a look at the gulch
situation In the west cud of the city.
lo is of the opinion that if the gulch
Iralns n thousand acres or less the
surplus water can be disposed of
hroiigh capacious culverts , carrying
the'water across the streets and into
the natural channels to the south.
If , however , there Is in the neigh
borhood of two thousand acres to bo
irained , the engineer's belief is that
; lie city wftuld be compelled to buy
ground for a storage reservoir north
of the city and build a dam to hold
lie flood waters back , leaving just
the amount run through that could
10 carried off In the natural channel.
The latter would be a quite expensive
nethod , and it is the opinion of many
who have studied the situation that
: hero Is less than a thousand acres
.trained by the gulch and that the
: lrst plan will care for the water rush
ing down from the hills.
Sewerage a Big Benefit.
" 1 am glad that the sewerage ques-
, lon Is coming to n head in Norfolk
ind that it is at last going to be pos
sible to make this city a city of high
standards in that direction. Although
[ have built a number'of cess pools
of late years , for houses that I rent ,
1 am more than glad to see the start
of n movement toward this bettering
of the conditions. I can see no
ground upon which a man could stand
who has objections to offer to the in
troduction of a sewerage system in
Norfplk. It is one of the very best
movements ever put on foot in this
city , and it seems to have very nearly
the unanimous support of the town.
"The sewerage will make a new
town of Norfolk. It will be bigger
and cleaner and more wholesome. It
will be a finer city as a home and a
city of homes is what we want , first
of all. If North Platte can build a
sewerage system , then surely Nor
folk can do as much. "
It is such expressions ns these from
the men of the city that go to endorsing
ing the action of the council , urged by
the commercial club , in starting the
sewerage movement. It is recog
nized that the introduction would be
a wonderful help to Norfolk in many
ways. There would be less trouble
with water in the cellars , clogged
pipes and unhealthful atmosphere.
COUNTY JAIL IS EMPTY
_
.
Sheriff Clements Lacks Boarders al
His Madison Hotel.
Sheriff Clements considers Madison
county too strenuously good to re
qulro peace officers. Ho has ample
accommodations in his hotel at Mad
ison for five or six people and no
names on the register. Since Fair
banks and Luke have quit him there
Is a void in the cells that looks as
though it might ache , and , the duties
of the sheriff are of the quiet order
The sheriff charges conditions to this
republican prosperity. Money is too
easily earned honestly and industri
ally to offer any incentive for robber-i
ies , murders , graft or anything of that
character that give the jails inmates
and peace officers employment. ThCj
Madison county jail has been unoc-
cupled much of the time during the J
pnt yc-nr nnd there Is at present no
prospects that conditions will change.
The foreign criminals nio scarce In
Madison county and there Is no In
centive to stnrt Madison county people

city or county jail or the state peni
tentiary.

A card from Eugene Moore shows
that he is now in St. Louis ,

es an estate of 288,000 acres of

ico. The company is capitalized at
$6,000,000 and guarantees 8 per cent

Architect Stilt has Just completed
plans for rebuilding the. west wing of
the Norfolk hospital for the insane ,
for which nn appropriation was se
cured during the last session of the
legislature. The plans contemplate
( nidus down the top story of the
building as it now stands , not be
cause It Is unsafe hut to make the
completed building harmonize with
the general holghth of the other cot
tages of the Institution. The plans
call for porches on the south side of
the three stories , which , owing to the
protection offered from the elements ,
can be used even In winter on sun
shiny days.
Some of those who are not on the
highlands of Norfolk claim to have
no water in their cellars and are In
clined to puff themselves out with
pride over the fact ) and they have
reason to he proud , because they are
the rare exception. There are , however -
ever , a few localities -whore1 the water
has not yet penetrated to the cellars ,
but they are so scarce that Norfolk
could not possibly crowd Into them ,
and some of them who have not dug
far under the surface owe tholr good
fortune to that fact A few days of
dry weather will relieve many of the
cellars of their burden of water , but
there Is no positive assurance that
such a boon is yet In sight.
"That gasoline motor car , built by
the Union Pacific railway company ,
It Is poslble , might bo made to solve
the needs of Norfolk for transporta
tion between the city and the Junc
tion , " said a business man this morn-
Ing. "I understand that one of the
ideas of the inventor is that it will
answer in place of a trolly line and
certainly it should prove an ideal
means for use in Norfolk. All that a
transportation company would require
would be one of these cars , a fran
chise and a light track. I have
thought that an automobile omnibus
could be used with profit to the owner
between the city and the Junction ,
but this idea would bo much better
because , with a light track through
the principal streets , this motor car
could bo ruu in all kinds of weather.
No power plant , no system of poles
and wires and no third rail equipment
would be necessary. The test that
has been given the Union Pacific car
shows that it will not only wear , but
it will develop speed and will answer
any purpose where tliera is a track
for It to run over. Norfolk people
who are willing to Invest In such a
line might well profit by Investigating
the possibilities of the gasoline motor
car. "
