of
E.
Rescued by a Bell BoV is th ilti.
a thrilling story told by ex-Senator
J. Burkett. who came un with hln
family to attend the Ak-Sar-Ben ball..
The ex-senator intended to make the
trip In his automobile, which would have
landed him eventually at the door of
the Den, but muddy roads forced him to
resort to the train. On arrival at his
hotel he discovered that neither cab,
hack, taxi nor auto was to be had for
love or money, and was apparently in a
quandary, half-way to the gates of the
promised land. It was at this point that
the rescue act took place, when the bell
boy suggested that possibly one of the
buses that took passengers to and from
the station might be secured. The tip
was promptly seized, and In due time
the senatorial family party was deposited
at its destination, hale, hearty and
happy, out of a queer-looking cabriolet.

Omahans Are Back
from'Long Journey
by Auto to Canada
Henry Keating and Henry Rohlff have
returned from a trip to Saskatchewan,
Canada. They made the trip from Omaha
to Moose Jaw In seven days In an Olds
machine, going by .way of Sioux City,
Sioux Falls, Jamestown, N. D., and Por
tal, where they entered Canada. The
trip up was In an automobile to oblige
Edward Peterson of Lamorenux & Peter
son, railroud contractors, who wanted
to send his machine to the scene of a
big railroad contract the firm hiui taken
on the new Canada & Northern rail
road. The Omaha men came back by
train.
"We felt quite at home In Canada,"
said Mr. Keating. "On every side w
raw Strocul's Omaha-made graders and
little red wagons at work, and we met
a good many Omaha residents who have
taken subcontracts from Lamorenux A
Peterroti. Among these wero Charles
Tompkins. E. B. Winn, James Clark,
Mantry Peterson, James Goodman and
James Nicholson. Tho contract now In
hand will probably keep the Nebraska
men up there for two or three years and,
talking of reciprocity, It may suiprlue
some folks to know It cost Lamoreaux &
Peterson UO.OOO In duties during the sea
son to take their outfit Into Canada. All
tho rolling stock used on the Job, nearly
300 vehicles, was bought here In Omaha,
and 6U0 horses were purchased In the
South Omaha market. Those folks will
surely learn that such a place as Omaha
Is on the map, all right.
"On the trip up we took a cooking and
camping outfit In the machine and shot
a good deal of game at we wont along.
We found the roads in pretty good shape,
and while we did not hurry particularly
we covered the 1. 238 miles to Moose Jaw
