Six Railroads Seek Five Percent Nebraska Rate Hike
Six midwestern railroads operating in Nebraska have asked the Nebraska Railway Commission for a five per cent intrastate freight rate increase following an Interstate Commerce Commission approval. The Burlington, acting for itself and Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Rock Island, Chicago and North Western, and Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis and Omaha, seeks to have the raise in effect December 28, costing Nebraskans about $1.50 more per year in freight rates. If granted, it would apply to shipments both originating and terminating within the state.

Home repair fasteners for concrete from AP Newsfeatures
Guidance on attaching wood to concrete. Do use more fasteners, expansion shields or anchors, carbide tipped drills for holes, and drill holes matching shield length for tight fits. Consider masonry fasteners like anchor nails welded to perforated metal squares with adhesive. Do not hammer nails directly into concrete without wood, or pound with star drills without rubber, or pause drill speed without removing. Measure screw length as material thickness plus hole depth minus a small allowance.

Irrigated Agriculture Transformed Scotts Bluff County History
Scotts Bluff County, once a small unsettled area, grew into a major Nebraska center by 1950 driven by irrigation and specialized farming. Sugar beets appeared in 1902 with a factory in 1910 after early irrigation efforts dating to the 1880s. The Platte Valley route and Oregon migration shaped its early significance before irrigation spurred rapid growth.

Irrigation drives early Scotts Bluff county growth
The Panic of 1893 caused a severe setback, but by 1900 irrigation gained traction. The Tri-State Land Company formed the Tri State canal project and Pathfinder dam, completed in 1913, marking key milestones in irrigation farming that spurred 20th century development of Scotts Bluff county.
