Lincoln, Aug. 4. (Special.) The
only natural resource m Nebraska,
winch might be developed into as
rich returns as the gold or coal mines
of other states, ts being deprived of
development by the hih rates charg
ed for transportation, according to
-irenmore Cone, president of - the
Consumers Sand company of Valley,
wno Mas tiled with the state railway
commission a protest against the
raise in rates contemplated l)y the
order of the Interstate Commerce
commission.
Mr. Cone goes into the matter at
considerable length in an endeavor
to show that if rates were established
which would permit of extensive
transportation that the sand and
gravel lying along the Platte river
could be made one of the big build
ing assets of the state. He shows
that sand and gravel is now one of
the big things in the .way of con
struction of buildings and other en
terprises, far in excess of lumber or
brick, but that the rate practically
pronioits snipment over certain dis
tances. He shows that the National
Railway administration has allowed
advances until at the present time
the advance has reached 133 per
cent over what it was June 20, 1918.
