More About the lnterurban.

The Leigh World last week had
good news for its readers who are in
terested in the interurban road from
Omaha to Norfolk and Sioux City.
According to this article, the road
will probably be a big thing for the
people i'm that vicinity. The story as
told by the World follows:
"The best news that We can give
our readers this week is that the Ne
braska Transportation company which
proposes building an electric road from
Omaha to Norfolk and Sioux City
have about decided to run the cars
through Leigh. This change in the
proposed route of the line was
brought about few days ago when
our merchant met with C.. w. Baker,
the head of the Baker Construction
company, and also in charge Of the
surveying crew. and showed him that
it would be to their advantage to run
the line through this place.
'The road as now proposed will run
from Omaha to Fremont, thence up
the Maple Creek to Howells. and from
Howells to Stanton and Norfolk. This
Mr.. Baker informs us will be saving
Of twenty-eight miles in the transport
alton distance between those two
points. From HOwells the line will
also be extended westward to Madi-
son. This, as We understand. would
give us a car for Omaha or Sioux City
every two hours and from Howells
on every hour. Mr.. Baker informs us
that work on the road will be COM
menced as soon as the surveying is
completed and the necessary plans and
specifications are made and this he
thought would be accomplished by the
middle Of next month"

An interesting paper was read by Rev

Mr. Long said i'm part that he dis.
claimed any speciai interest in col.

own sake. His interest was in young
people directly and in the college in

I'VE wish to have developed in our
young people good character, intelli-
gence. industry, culture, the power of
leadership and the ability to CO.
operat with others i'm bringing
things to pass" said Mr.. Long. "Many
persons have attained all of these
without going to college But, as we
prefer the steel pillow to the wooden
one, the self binding harvester to the
sickle and the electric pump to the
bucket and rope, so we are glad toI
make use of the college for culture
rather than depending exclusively on
the school of hard knocks

college is the instructor Of fine char

ability TO inspire the students with
high ideals. Give such an instructor

size and equipment OF the college may
be considered a secondary matter.
"The large university WITH its many
