II is said that the suggestion of II.
E. owen that n gravel driveway be
laid along South First street, has met
with the approval and favor of many
citizens of Norfolk and 1t is very pos
sible that the city council may take
action at the next meeting regarding
the matter, possibly appointing a com
mittee to look into It. Plans and spec
iications have arrived and are now on
file at the Norfolk National bank,
where they may he seen by those inter
ested In the gravel roadway for that
street, When the small amount of
money needed for the work is consd-
cred, and the great benefit that would
result is borne in mind, It would seem
that Norfolk could well afford to take
up the matter and consider 1t very
seriously and thoroughly.

II Is to be hoped that the new at.
tempt at introducing n land leasing
bill for the grazing section of Nebras
ka, will pass. This has been intro.
duced In the senate this week by Sen.
ator Burkett and 1t provides that lands
may be leased under the supervision
OF the governor. Nebraska needs a
land lease bill fair TO both the state
and the cattlemen, in order to save
the cattle industry of the state, and
unless some bin Of this sort does pass,
the cattlemen will shut up shop and
the sandhllls will go out of business
as wealth producers.

The nearer the time for election

that the passage of the bonds will

THE COAL STRIKE.

II Is to he hoped that the coal strike
will soon be adjusted and that the
miners will before long so back to
work, without regard to the right or
wrong of the cause which has brought
about the strike, the people of the
United States will hope that the strike
may be settled satisfactorily to both
miners and mine owners. And the
people have right to demand that
the strike be settled within a reason
able time.
Coal Is commodity without which
the industries of this country would
be paralyzed. 1t is a necessity to our
daily life which keeps the wheels OF
progress in motion, and 1t Is a sacred
right that belongs to the people of
this nation that the earth shall be al.
lowed to yield up from it's mines this
fuel that we must have.
Because the man who owns the mine
and the man who digs out the coal
get into a quarrel is no reason why
the rest of society should be compelled
to shut down its factories, stop wheels
that are productive and throw other
millions of men out of employment,
as well as running up the prices of
commodities that we can't get along
without. And so, If the mine owner
and his workman fail to agree, then
we can see no reason why the con.
sumner, as third party to the matter.
shall not step in and take charge of
affairs with a view to bringing about
a compromise if possible, and action
at all events.
We have, in this country, come to
depend upon the coal from the earth
Just as much as we depend upon food
for our stomachs. And because one
body of men are dissatisfied with the
methods Of another body of men, even
though the second party happens to
own the coal mines, does not take
from the people of this country their
right to a supply of coal from the
mines.
And so it is to be hoped that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in case the strike con.
tinues into a dangerous extremity,
will intervene in the matter. as a rep,
resentatiye of the people, and operate
the mines if necessary under govern.
ment protection.

Norfolk may not hold its complete
prestige as federal court town. Gre
ated by Senator Burkett's bill, If the
amendment of Congressman Norris,
who has taken hand in the matter,
goes through. Congressman Norris
has given notice that he intends to
amend the bill so that there shall be
number OF points in both the north
and south sections of the state at
which federal court will be held, giving
each point definite territory to draw
from, so that the terms can not be
transferred from place to place at the
will of the judges. In the original bill,
Norfolk and Omaha are the only two
cities in the northern part of the state
in which sessions of court were to be
held for this territory, while Lincoln
and Hastings were to get In for the
southern half. Under the amendment
Norfolk will still get a court session
but it will be a session of less i'm.
portance.

WILLIAM HAWLEY SMITH.

Those who have heard him lecture
in Norfolk before, and particularly at
the meetings of the northern Nebraska
teachers, will regret that william Haw-
ley Smith, that genial wit and philos.
opher, could not have been engaged
for one evening here this week. Mr..
Smith is as homely as man can well
be, but his humor is of the sort that
bubbles over and his sound sense
makes people think. His little sermon
the other day in Lincoln on the school
examinations contained much wisdom
and much food for thought among the
teachers of the state who are now
in Norfolk. Concerning Mr.. Smith,
Bixby of the State Journal has to say:
'If you ever met him you will never
forget him-William Hawley Smith
author of "The Evolution of Dod," and
other literary gems. He has been sick
the past two years and has grown old
some, but he's just as good and home
ly as ever. and it was a pleasure to
meet him Monday morning and let
him take short half hour to tell a
bunch of new stories. He is on a short
lecture tour in the northwest He
says he can't stand it to go all the
time as he used to, and, blessed be,
he is no longer so poor in purse as
he has to keep doing or go hungry.
William Hawley Smith is one of the
advanced thinkers of this generation,
and he won't be fully appreciated until
he has been dead about thirty years"

OVER THE OREGON TRAIL.
Esra Meeker on His Way From Port
land TO Indianapolis,

Ezra Meeker of Portland, Ore, left
old Oregon trail which he Travelled
when he came to the northwest In 1852,
says Portland special dispatch to the
Chicago Inter Ocean. With his team
Of oxen and the old prairie schooner
he started from Dallas on the old trail
Mr.. Meeker thinks that the trail should
be permanently marked, SO that the
future generations may be able to To-
cate the old pathway that was travelled
by the sturdy pioneers who settled the
Oregon country. He will take along
with him township plats upon which
will be traced the route Of the trail in
every township in which 1t is found.
These plats will be preserved and sent
to the Oregon Historical society. Mr..
Meeker has an odometer on his wagon,
with which he will determine the exact
distance he has journeyed when he ar
rives at his destination.
Mr.. Meeker will drive his oxen and
cows through to indianapolis, Ind,
from whence he immigrated across the
plains to the northwest Mrs. Meeker
will join him at Indianapolis. Mr..
Meeker says he expects to make the
trip in about eight and half months.
In 1852 ii took him about six months
to make the trip. Considerable time
will necessarily have to be consumed
in locating the old trail, as most of 1t
has entirely disappeared. Before COM
ing to Portland Mr.. Meeker retraced
the old trail across the state of Wash
ington to the sound. which he trav-
ersed after leaving Portland in the
spring of 1853. Mr.. Meeker Is seventy
five years of age, but Is in perfect
health and does not anticipate any i'll
effects from the trip. Instead he thinks
that it will be very beneficial to him.
