of the motive power and machinery de-

Mr.. McKeen spending the forenoon at

to look after one OF his motor gasoline
cars in service on one of the coast SUI
burban lines, and is now on his way
home.
Mr.. McKeen noted the work proceed
ing at the mill and seemed to be well
pleased with the quality, although he
did not hesitate to say he would like to
see the repairs completed and the mill
started. I'VE hope to get in running
order full tilt by the first of March" he
said, 'but would be glad if things were
in shape before that time. The mill
looks good and will do a big business"
When the site for the proposed motor
car factory was called to his attention,
Mr.. McKeen said the matter had not
been settled. Il have been in the west
some time, and not in very close touch
with Omaha, and really do not know
what has been one since l left home.
No, l cannot say where the shops will
be located"
He was evidently pleased when Lar.
annie was suggested, glad at least, that
the town had made the offer.
