TRAVELLING MEN BANQUET
Two Hundred Gather Around Festive
Board at Happy Hollow.
WAKELEY TALKS FOR HARMONY

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Says Bur-
linEtOn is Mentioned In
the Bible.

Two hundred delegates to the twenty
fifth annual session of the Nebraska United
Commercial Travellers of America sat down
to a delightful banquet at Happy Hollow
club Friday night.
The program of speakers included L. w.
Wakeley, general passenger agent Of the
Burlington; II. II. Baldrige, Rev. F. l..
Loyeand and Henry f. Gehring Colonel
Richard Woods of Sioux Falls was toast
master. Mr.. Wakeley opened his speech
by emphasizing the relations Of the rail-
roads of today toward the commercial
travelling man. He told of the development
OF the railroad and said that wherever the
railroad lays steel shortly afterward fol-
lows the travelling man. Backed by an
array Of figures, the Burlington official
showed that Nebraska today has better
railrC ad facilities than any other part OF
the country in proportion TO population.
THE history of the railroads through the
middle west is full of landmarks where the
travelling man and the railroads have come
together IN honest differences with a salts
factory settlement" said Mr.. Wakeley.
You know today better than ever before
how far we can go to meet your expecta-
tons, and where the danger line of over
production or decreased revenue is marked
for u.s. In appealing to your judgment on
those things that concern us jointly
would not belittle the subject by a refer
cree here to the minor things that are
continually coming up. We can improve
many things we are doing; wo have made
mistakes. There is much that can be done
to smooth out uncouth and annoying prae-
tices; there should be no subject OF mutual
concern that cannot be discussed directly
between US. We recognize in you a power
and an intermediary whose goodwill is
essential to u.s. and which we seek to hold
We feel We are meeting as fast as good
business win permit us your expectations.

Black Hills and southern Montana 9140.0OO
miles of passenger train service, while dur
! ing the present year there is a passenger
train service In that region Of 5,o76 0Oo
miles over those three railway systems.

The SnithvilIe to
Leesburg Road

Mr.. EDITOR. About the first OF
July the county gang will commence
work on the road leading from
Smithvillc to Leesburg, and as the
last grand jury recommends that
the old road be used, Strengthening
it at all points that can be straight
ened, etc. ! learn that there is
considerable opposition to this pro-
ceeding by the residents along the
line that will be more or less effect
ed by the changes recommended.
This brings about a stronger senti-
mcnt in favor Of adopting an en-
tirely new route, commencing at
Hays crossing, utilizing as much
Of the old road as can be used,
making the entire road on the west
side Of the railroad from that point.
