HE HAS MADE A PROPOSITION Will Put His Big Automobile , Now In Shoshonl , on the Road Between Here and the Junction , Provided Road is Improved , at 30 Cent Fare , An automobile line , with a regular car every few minutes , between Nor folk and the Junction , is a possibility. A proposition has been made'which , If considered favorably by the business men and Commercial club , will result In the establishing of a transit line at a very early date. A. A. Ahlmann of Norfolk lias Just returned from Shoshonl , where ho vent with a hugo automobile for the nirposo of transferring people across ho country. The car Is still at She shonl , but the crowds have ceased. Mr. Ahlmann makes this proposition : Ho will put his automobile between Norfolk and the Junction , making reg- ilar Jrlps at brief Intervals , on a 10- cent faro basis , provided the Commer cial club of Norfolk will put First street , or any other street between Nor- oik' and the Junction , In condition vhlcb will allow the use of his ma chine In rainy weather. The machine can carry olght people at a trip. Mr. Ahlmann loft Norfolk last night 'or Shoshonl , to be gone ton days. If ho Commercial club of Norfolk wants o take up his proposition , and will let ilm know before that time , ho will irlng the machine back with him and nit It on the route. How Fare Could be Overco'me. Mr. Ahlmann says that ho doesn't see bis way clear to make a contract .o run for less than 10-cont fares , be- cauRO of his Investment In the ma chine and the comparatively largo nfimbor of trips necessary to make oven on tbo deal. If , however , the proposition is con sidered favorably by the business men of Norfolk , a plan something like this might bo developed by which to over come the 10-cont fnro : Merchants and business men could rebate all passengers who bought goods at their stores , Just as In many of the cities merchants give street car tickets with purchases over a cer tain amount. Half the faro could be rebated , thus reducing the tax upon Junction people to a nickel. So far as improving a road Is concerned - corned , that ought to bo done , and needs to bo done , for the hack lines , the carriages and other vehicles that have to make the Junction trip every day. That is one of the things needed in Norfolk today , so that It would not bo an especial burden on account of stabllshlng the auto-lino. It Is suggested that the Commercial club consider this proposition Injme- llatoly. so that , If It Is to bo accepted , he machine could bo brought back. Mr , Ahlmann Is willing to make a contract with the business men on the proposition. The establishment of this auto line is not for competition with the cabs or hotel buses. ItIs to bring people up town who do not now como. It will not answer the same purpose as the cabs , which make trips to all parts of town , and will bo purely for the purpose of bringing Junction people up town nt a faro which will allow thorn to como often. LINE THROUGH TO COAST. Northwestern Capital Stock Increase for That Purpose. A special meeting of the stockhold ers of the Northwestern road will beheld held on October IS for the purpose of voting on nn Issue of , f 100,000,000 worth of stock.

His trip extended as far west as Casper , Wyo. Mr. Walters found the road in excellent condition , every station doing a good business and the towns and country prosperous. Speaking of the crop conditions Mr. Walters said : "Northwestern Nebras ka never looked so good as this year Small grain has all been harvested and the crop has been enormous. There has been a bountiful yield of every thing. There has been plenty of rain and If there should not be another drop there would bo a bumper crop. Way out In the sand hills the corn Is a heavy crop. It Is well eared and right now a large portion Is out of the way of frost , though frost Is not ex pected for a month or six weeks. The whole country west of Norfolk seems to bo turning its attention to putting up wild hay. Usually this portion of the state Is a great hay section , but this year more attention than ever be fore Is being given to putting up the wild grass. Around Bassett , Newport and a dozen other stations haying out fits are working In every direction. The crop Is In fine condition and will be ready to ship In a few days. As far as the eye can see are hay stacks or outHts cutting and stacking. In the past Bassett and Newport have been the largest hay shipping markets In the world and this year they are going to maintain their places by sending out more than ever before. " A. C. SHALLENBERGER , FUSION CANDIDATE , SPEAKS. NORFOLK WAS FIRST TARGET Mr. Shallenberger Declared for Gov ernment Ownership of Railroads , for Abolition of Free Pass , for Direct Primary , Etc. A. C. Shallenberger , fusion candi date for governor of Nebraska , fired the first gun of his campaign In Nor folk last " 'b'l't ' ' , before the democratic congressional convention. Mr. Slml- lenberger spoke for more than an hour , during which time ho declared that he Is a friend of Bcrgc , defeated populist gubernatorial aspirant , and that two years ago ho stepped aside to allow Bcrgo the nomination. Then 'ho lit into campaign topics , denying ho was nominated through corporate Influence , and attacking trusts and free passes , He declared that government owner ship of railroads Is the only solution of the rate question. Mr. Shallcnbcrger is an up-to-date looking man. He has a ruddy face , grey hair , and wears patent leather slioes. Ho looks prosperous. He is one of the most rapid speakers ever heard In Norfolk. He talks at the rate of about 300 words a mlnuto so fast indeed , that no stenographer in the country has ever been able to take his speeches whllo he talked. He was cheered repeatedly by his auditors , most of whom were convention dele gates. ° Mr. Shallcubergcr said he came here to deliver his first ° speech because thcro was nibro opposition to his nom ination In the Third than any other district. "Tho two planks In the convention platform that have teeth In them for the corporation are the antl-pafe plank , that provides penalties of fine to Individuals and forfeiture of ofllce to ofllce holders ; and elective railway commission plank that provides for appraisal of the property of corpora tion bond and taxes and rent , making propositions and demryids that the same valuations shall be used in de termining both the rent and the tax. And the platform committee will bear me out that I put teeth In both these planks. I also voted for the plank de claring In favor of government owner ship of railroads , both before the com- mlttoo and In the convention , and I reiterate now my absolute belief that In this lies the only flnnl solution of equity between the railroads and the people. Those who are up against mo in this campaign will admit that I am something of a fighter. But I fight fair. " "Mickey won his fight In the west ern country precincts , " says Mr. Shal- lenbergor , "but there will bo no trou ble there this time. " , Mr. Shallenberger declared that de struction of private monopoly must come and that it exists by virtue of protective tariff and railroad discrim ination. "Tho transportation monopoly ely Is the issue in Nebraska this fall , " he said. He declared for direct pri mary and the abolishment of free passes. "Any reduction in railroad passen ger fares or freight rates , " he said , "will ho fought by railroads , to the last ditch. Whether those reductions shall prevail or not , shall depend upon the profit that the railroad capital Is makr Ing. Just as the valuation of the board of assessors on the railroad tax- . atlon power of commonwealth behind it , so the finding of this board of rail road commissioners responsible to the people , will come before the courts on that ground , and I believe the valua tion will stand.
