THE NORFOLK WEEKLY NEWS-JOURNAL : KIM DAY , MARCH 8 , 1SI07 ,
SMALL CITIES PREFERRED BY
MANUFACTURERS TODAY.
RAILROADS HELPING TOWNS
Norfolk Could , by Enlisting Co-opera-
tlon of Railroads Entering the City ,
Secure Various Industries , Accord *
Ing to Convention Delegate.
Norfolk coulu got any number of
manufacturing Industries located lioro
which would employ , scores of girls
the year around If tlio business Inter
ests of this city would take up active
ly the matter of enlisting co-operation
from the railroads entering the city ,
according to 0. D. IJutterlleld who
attended the association of Commer
cial clubs at Lincoln as delegate from
the Norfolk clnb , and who discussed
the small town's Industrial possibil
ities with W. II. Mnnss , Industrial
commissioner for the Burlington rail
* v
road.Mr. . Manss stated that during the
*
past year ho had located 143 factories
in small towns along the Burlington
lines. There are two particular rea
sons which are making It easy for the
small town to get manufacturing Indus
tries today , and Norfolk has already
benefited in this way from these rea
sons.
Cheaper Rent , Labor Question.
In the Ilrst place rent for buildings
in the small town Is decidedly less
than rent In the city. Kent for a fac
tory building In Norfolk is decidedly
less than rent for the same building
in Omaha.
And In the second place the facto
ries are being driven from city to
country because labor matters are so
much more peaceably and easily ad
justed In the small town.
Mr. Mnnss Is locating factories only
In Burlington towns. But Norfolk has
three railroads and they are equipped
with Industrial commissioners.
Could Co-operate With Them.
Mr. Butterfleld believes that Norfolk
business Interests could not only af
ford to seek co-operation with these
industrial commissions , but he be
lieves further that the city can not
afford not to go after some of these
industries.
The Northwestern railroad company
maintains this same sort of an Industrial
i
trial commission in Chicago , which
would unquestionably be glad tb co
operate with Norfolk If co-operation
in the matter were extended also from
this end of the line. The Union Pacific
also maintains this sort of a commis
sion and gets out pamphlets advertis
ing the towns and their Inducements
for factories. The Northwestern re
cently Issued 50,000 pamphlets giving
a flattering account of Sioux City.
This , Mr. Bulterflold considers , Is
but one of the many reasons why It
would pay Norfolk business Interests
to seek to co-operate with the rail
roads of this city for the upbuilding
of this city , this part of the country
and the railroad business. He be
lieves that harmonious co-operation ,
instead of an antagonistic friction ,
should be adopted by Norfolk If the
city's welfare is to be considered.
Sewing Industries Available.
Mr. Manss spoke to Mr. Butterfleld
of the possibilities of securing for
small towns various industrial indus
tries which produce garments made on
sewing machines. Sunbonnets , aprons ,
gloves , etc. , were mentlond ns avail
able.
able.This
This was one of the several good
, ideas that were brought back to Nor
folk from the state meeting of Com
mercial clubs by Mr. Butterfleld.
THE CROSSING SITUATION.
A Farmer Thinks at Least One Free
Street Should be Left.
Norfolk , Neb. , Feb. 28. Editor
News : In regard to the union depot
proposition , which Is being agitated at
the present time , I wish to call atten
tion to the condition of the crossings
over the Union Pacific and Chicago
& Northwestern lines between the
east and west sides. There is and will
"N be imminent danger to teams crossing
over the railroad tracks on Norfolk
avenue , by reason of the location of
sidetracks and the fact that this portion
tion of the yards is used to make up
trains , and the danger of flying cars
which are shot from the south Into
the various switches terminate In or
near the street. In the new sidetracks
recently added there has been no rem
edy but the danger Is more threaten
ing. In driving toward the west on
this avenue the shooting engine Is
often behind the office of C. W.
Braasch , thus imperiling the driving
public. People living south of the
Elkhorn who cross on Thirteenth
street bridge , and those living on ev
ery road and thoroughfare on the west
side and west and northwest of the
city , and from the Pierce and Hadar
roads all cross the railroad tracks on
Norfolk avenue.
Suppose wo try Madison avenue :
Driving from the west on Madison av
enue the foundry entirely excludes the
view of many of the switching or passIng -
Ing engines. There the Union Pacific
and Northwestern tracks are probably
forty to fifty feet apart. An engine
emerging from the noith may be com
ing on either track , and the driver is
"
\ up against it again.
* From the brick yard to the east the
low ground is often impassable in the
spring and there is no relief there.
Practically the only safe crossing at
the present tlmd between the east and
west sides , is Phillip avenue , and an
effort is to bo made to close that to
public use and give it over to the rail
road for the purpose of erecting a do-
pot If this Is done , then the driver
might go another block south , but
hero again ho finds another maze of
switches and In alt probability an en
gine dancing back and forth with a
Hiring of cars. These then arc the
crossings over railroad tracks between
the east and west sides of town , and
I submit to you that the business men
of the city should protest against the
closing of the best of these available
to people who llvo on the west sldo
and those farmers who must como
through the west side of town to reach
the stores.
While railroads should bo Riven ev
ery opportunity to handle their busi
ness advantageously , yet some rights
should bo reserved to the public who
make It possible for the railroads to
have business to do. When Philip av
enue Is closed , which It may be If the
supreme court decision In favorable ,
then the only really safe street to
cross from east to went has been taken
awny from the public. If the com
panies can be Induced to locate a
union depot on Norfolk avenue and
leave some of the other streets avail
able to the driving public at all Itmos
except when trains are actually pass
ing , It would bo much bettor than to
Imvc the Northwestern depot rebuilt
in the street near Its old location.

ELECTION IN NORFOLK IS LESS
THAN MONTH AWAY.
CAUCUSES WILL COME SOON
The City Is Just Beginning to Think
of the Coming Campaign and No
Candidates for Offices Have as Yet
Been Announced.
A nearly complete list or city offi
cials will be chosen at the election on
Tuesday , April 2. The officers whoso
terms of service uxnlro this snrlnir
are : Mayor John Friday , Councllmen
P. Crotty , P. Stafford , A. II. Klcsau
and J. S. Mathewson , Clerk J. II.
Hnlff , Treasurer J. E. Ilnase , Police
Judge I. G. Wcstervolt , City Engineer
H. Salmon , and Dr. II. J. Cole and C.
J. Illbben , members of the board of
education.
Mayor Friday , who Is serving his
second term as mayor of the city of
Norfolk , has not made a public state
ment as to whether or not he desires
a rcnomlnatlon. Two other men who
have been discussed about the city In
connection with the mayoralty nomina
tion are Albert Degner and W. R.
Hoffman. Mr. Degner , who has been
subjected to annual pressure in this
connection on the part of his demo
cratic friends , is as positive as ever
that he does not desire the nomina
tion. Mr. Hoffman has also frowned
on those who have approached him in
regard to heading the republican tick
et this year.
The Norfolk city election , falling on
April 2 , Is less than a month distant.
Probably within the coming week the
voters of the two parties will be called
on to hold caucuses and conventions
for the purpose of placing the city
tickets in the Held for the spring elec
tion. Despite the rather short time
at hand in which to take action along
political lines the men who are inter
ested in party affairs and the city gov
ernment are only just beginning to
canvass the situation. As usual in
municipal elections in cities the size
of Norfolk most of the offices will have
to pursue the men as candidates are
not evincing any strong disposition to
announce themselves to the voters.

CLUB ROOM FOR YOUNG MEN.
Plan Is Suggested as Place for Young
Men to Spend the Evenings.
The Men's club held a pleasant
meeting in the parlors of the Congre
gational church Saturday evening. A
number of students from the business
college were present at the meeting
as the guests of the club. An Informal
mal program was arranged for the
evening. As a part of this program
D. B. Huston addressed the club. Mr.
Huston spoke in favor of the estab
lishment In Norfolk of club rooms
where young men could spend their
leisure hours. While the sentiment of
the club members has been favorable
to such plans no stops have over been
taken looking to their practical realiza
tion. During the meeting Saturday
evening light refreshments wcro
served. v
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS LOOKING -
ING AFTER NEEDED REPAIRS.
RIPRAPPING GONE TO PIECES
Northfork Has Been Biting Off a Little
Bank at a Time and Approach to
Bridge Will be Re-Protected City
Sewer Pipe Disjointed.
The county commlsslonon ) took
steps Friday to Investigate and miiko
repairs In the neighborhood of the
two Northfork rlvor brldgow near the
mill , ono on North First titreet and the
other on Hunt Norfolk avoiiuo , whore
water and Ice- have done a llttlo damage -
ago which the commissioners , whoso
attention has Jimt boon called to the
matter , bellovo needs looking after.
Rtprapplng In the vicinity of the
Main street bridge has gone to plecon
and it was believed that the current
might play tug with the brldgo approach
preach and with the street should high
water follow thawing snow. The
North First street brldgo Is said by
John W. Brldgo of the Sugar City
Cereal mills to bo In need of ntton-
tlon , as Ice going out of the river IIIIH
chipped Into the brldgo pilings at the
water line , where they naturally do-
cay.
River Eats Up Land.
Near the 'Norfolk avenue bridge ,
where the rlprnpplng has boon do-
Htroyod , no protection Is now offered ,
according to Mr. Brldgo , to the approach
preach or to the street east of the
brldgo. IIo says that the bank at the
approach has receded six feet during
the past year and that east of the
brldgo the river has dug Its channel
Into the highway until there IH wild to
bo rlvor bed where a sidewalk would
bo , If one wore built , along the north
side of the road.
This Is duo to the fact .that the rip-
rapping burned away and that the
planks underneath have now rotted
out.
South of the brldgo , In the vicinity
of the city pumping station , It Is said
that a city lot lias been eaten up by
the river.
City Sewer Pipe Unjolnted.
Just south of this bridge the bank
Is being washed away slightly all of
the time because a city sewer pipe ,
draining Brnasch a\enuo and North
First street , has been disconnected
just at the last joint before emptying
into the river and , since It now drains
prematurely , It tends to cut away the
bank.
The immediate action on the part of
the county commissioners in this re
gard , the moment the matter was
called to their attention , assures peo-
pliIn that section that the necessary
repairs will be made promptly.

NO INQUESUYAS HELD
Coroner Kindred Considered Further
Investigation Unnecessary Expense.
No InqnoHl was held over the body
of August Lindner , found Friday noon ,
with a bullet hole In the head , In ( he
little rented homo on South Fifth
street. Coroner II. L. Kindred arrived
In Norfolk from Meadow Grove Satur
day morning. A review of the evi
dence collected by County Attorney
Jack KoeiilgHteln showed the coroner
that an inquest wan unnecessary.
Coroner Kindred said : "It seems
a simple case of suicide , the old story
of loneliness producing temporary In
sanity. The man was without money
and there arc no reasons to suspect
foul play. An Inquest would be an
unnecessary expense. " Dr. Kindred
returned to Meadow Grove nt 1:30 :
o'clock Saturday afternoon.
An Investigation Saturday morning
showed that August Lindner held a
certificate of deposit for $ 10 placed in
( lie CHI/en's National bank. This with
the few household articles used by the
old man In his simple life constitutes
the estate of the deceased. The mon
ey will be used to defray the expenses
attached to burial. Owing to the small
sum Involved the estate will be closed
up without recourse to the courts.
August Lindner was burled at 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon from the
undertaking rooms of Sessions & Bell.
Interment will be made in the now
Lutheran cemetery northwest of the
cltv.
cltv.The
The deceased , n widower , Is survived
by a son , Otto Lindner , a former em
ploye nt the roundhouse at Norfolk
Junction , and a daughter , Mrs. Mary
Farenholz , living five miles east of
the city.
No new fncts have como to light in
regard to the suicide , thought to have
taken place Wednesday night. Lind
ner was oppressed by loneliness and
brooded over his lack of financial pros
perity. A few years ago ho owned a
forty acres of northeast Nebraska
farm land , which ho sold for $1,000.
Poor land purchases caused this mon
ey to fast disappear. Lindner was
sixty-two years old and had lived In
Norfolk for two years , coming here
from a farm near Wnrnorvllle.
SURVEYING GREGORY.
Town Board on Rosebud is Having the
Townslte Re-Surveyed.
Gregory Advocate : The town board
has secured the services of Samuel
Chllton , county surveyor of Burke , to
make a now survey of the town.
When the town was laid out It was
supposed to have been surveyed , but
it seems that the entire town was nev
er surveyed , only the principle streets
and thisivory Inaccurate. Many of the
corner stakes have been lost and ex
act location of corners is not known.
However , this will not cause any In
convenience on the residence portion
as there are no buildings on the linos.
