Tho town OF Diller, fifteen miles southeast
of here, gave a big good roads banquet
last night at which 200 farmers sat down.
Dner was one OF the first towns In Ne
braska to enter actively into the cam
paign for better roads, and the progress
they have made has been an inspiration TO
every man who travels over that section
of the country. Last spring the citizens
divided the territory surrounding Diller
into two sections, the east and the west,
and system OF prizes were offered for
the best road work done in these respective
sections. There were about 200 contestants
for these prizes and the occasion OF the
banquet was the awarding OF these prizes.
J. w, FOuts, who is the father Of the good
roads movement IN that section, acted as
postmaster, and toasts were responded to
by c. l.. Il. Blauser OF Dnler; c, w. Rohr-
baugh, one Of the commissioners OF JET
forsOn county; A, v, Pease, j. w. Melon
nell and Lew Shelley OF Fairbury.
During the evening the Judges announced
the awarding OF the prizes as follows:
East side. August Engleman won, @. +.
Riddle second, J. d. Steiner third, c. e.
Fairbanks fourth and r, b. Albers fifth;
west side, A. ], Hin won, S, d. Nav
second, ], p, London third, ]. II. Logan
fourth and c. L. T.. Blauser fifth.
The work done in the interests Of good
roads In that vicinity during the last two
years has made the little town OF Direr
famous all over the state and the banquet
last evening was the browning event Of the
campaign. Before adjournment arrange
ments were made for a general meeting, to
be held during the winter to prepare to
renew the work OF good roads building in
the spring. The committee that has engi-
neered the good roads movement in that
section are J, W. Fouts, Thomas p. Price,
j. Smith Diller, o. J. Bayborn and Il. l..
Look, all prominent business men OF that
city.
