The Republican caucus for Willow
Grove precinct held in the city hall, Mon
day night, resulted in the nomination of
the following ticket: For justices Of the
peace, J. E. Kelley and H. H. Berry; for
c~onstables, A. G. Bump and Joseph
SPOTS; for road overseers, Frank Still
man and Vance McManigal; for assessor,
H H. Troth. The primary was presided
over by J. A. Wilcox; A. c. Ebert was

ane, and will no doubt give general sat
isfaction, and it's election by a generous
plurality is doubtless assured.

They have the Jonah Of township or
g~anization on board down in Adams
county, and the Hastings Democrat says
that dispensing with township organi-
zation will v $500 per annum in super
visors' fees" Now, why in COMMON
sense does Red Willow county want to SO
largely increase her running expenses at
this time of depression and foreboding.
And the matter Of supervisors fees is
only one of the items of increased bur
den which township organization will
bring. This is a question for the tax
payers to consider seriously. The few
advantages t. be derived from township
organization come entirely too high fol-
Red Willow county to adopt it at this
time.

The matter Of ownership Of the saloon
on the southeast corner Of Main and
Railroad streets was discussed at the last
meeting of the city council. w. M.
Lewis stated under oath that he owned
the saloon and that ]. K. Ellis is running
the business for half the profit. The
city license is, however, in the name of
Lewis, while the government license is
in Ellis name, so that the suficiency of
the bond is perhaps still in doubt.

OAD AND

THE TRIBUNE's advocacy of improve
ment in our roads and bridges, the lay
ing out and building Of new highways
and bridges, is well known; and perhaps
a few items concerning what has been
done i'll this section of the county under
Commissioner Ryan's administration, re-
sulting in a most gratifying measure from
this persistent agitation, may be interest
ing.
The road leading north from the city
past J. A. Snyder's farm has been laid
out, a sixteen foot bridge built, and the
approaches and neighboring hills graded
up in good shape.
A 48-foot bridge has been put in neal
S. D. McClain's, northwest of the city,
and the approaches properly graded.
Up in Coleman precinct a new road
has been laid out, with a I6-foot bridge.
An 8-foot bridge has also been put in
neal Tom Ryan's place.
In Perry precinct a 32-foot bridge has
| been built near William Divine's. In the
neighborhood Of James Doyle's a Is and
an 8-foot bridge erected. Both have been
graded ingood shape.
On the road to Box Elder a I6-foot
bridge has been put up. Also a similar
sized structure on the road leading east
from Thomas Ruggles' farm and con-
...z4:.- xr.41, 49, D., Lr1Ia- ~0oI
On the highway leading west from
Oscar Russell's farm a bridge has been
placed over Dry creek.
A 4o-foot bridge now spans the Drift
wood neal Frank Everist's place.
In Bondville precinct a new road has
been laid out, running east from the
North Star school house, with a 24-foot
bridge over Ash creek.
In Grant precinct three S-foot bridges
have been put up in the Frank Allen
road district.
At the last meeting Of the board an
important road was opened up in Cole
man precinct running from in. Smiths
farm to Matt Droll's place. This con-
meets south with the river road into Nc
Cook from the west; is S or s miles long,
on smooth land; and will make a fine
outlet into market from that neighbor-
hood.
1t is gratifying, too, to notice that the
bridges now being built are better and
much more substantial than those put
up in the past.
To be sure Commissioner Ryan had
much help on many of these improve
ments from the farmers, the city, and
others.
Another matter worthy of mention
and commentator is the disposition OF
the commissioners to lay out roads on
good, smooth land whenever it is posi-
l e,-rather paying reasonable damages
than to take rough consent land. In the
long run this will be economy. Such
roads are cheaper to make, and keep in
repair at a much less expense.
Altogether, considering the amount oil
money at disposal, much good work has
been performed during the past year,
and a new era in bridge and road work
has dawned in Red Willow county.
