Land Utilization
Project is to be
Started in State
155,000 Acres to Be Purchased in
Sioux and Dawes Counties
as Part of Plan.
Final approval of the Nebraska
Pine Ridge land utilization project
and allocation of $700,000 for pur
chase of approximately 155,000 acres
In Sioux and Dawes counties were
announced today by Paul McDill, act
ing project manager.
"This means success to more than
a year's work in planning this popu
lar and widely supported project for
a section naturally suited to become
Nebraska's best forest and park area.
We are glad to have approval for
purchase of so large an acreage to
Initiate the project. Originally, we
hed hoped to be permitted to acquire
aa even larger area, but stringent
economies now being enforced in
Washington make this Impossible at
present."
Planned through co-operative ef
forts of state, local and federal agen
cies, the Pine Ridge project will dem
onstrate better uses for much of the
land unsuited to crop production in
this Interesting portion of Nebraska.
Land to be acquired by the Resettle
ment Administration will consist of
dry land farms, drouth damaged
rr.nges, abandoned crop land, cut
over woodlands and young timber of
the Pine Ridge Encampment. After
acquisition, the area will be devel
oped for grazing, forestry, and re
creation in accordance with the in
dividual qualities of each area. Flood
control, water conservation, game
preservation, and an addition to the
state park are among the uses now
planned for these lands.
Dry land farms which have proved
unsuccessful over a period of years,
as well as range lands that have suf
fered from over-grazing, will be
blocked out Into economic grazing
areas under this project. Organiz
ation of grazing districts and co
operative grazing associations will
make possible such control as may
be necessary to future protection of
the grass cover.
Dr. McDill sees much recreational
value In the Pine Ridge area. "It
should serve," he stated, "aa an at
traction to summer tourists and vaca
tionists as well as a sportsmen's para
dise. The Black Hills of South Da
kota have demonstrated the interest
which such areas of natural beauty
have for summer visitors if properly
developed."
Productive farmland areas within
the project will not be purchased in
this program, unless for use as re
settlement areas. "The chief goal of
this project," Mr. McDill explained,
"is to make our land serve its best
purpose. Tracts suited for farming
should stay In farms. But land better
adapted to grazing or forestry and re-

creation should be changed to these
uses. Only by putting each type of
land into its most satisfactory use can
we make the land return the greatest
amuont of goods and happiness for
human labor."
All land being purchased for this
project has been voluntarily offered
for sale by the owners. The govern
ment is ready to give necessary as
sistance to those whose homes it is
buying; if they need aid in obtain
ing more productive farms elsewhere
they can work out an adequate stand
ard of living.
Whil the announcement of final ac
ceptance means that the contract to
purchase Is completed, Mr. McDill
said the work of clearing titles may
delay actual receipt of money for the
land for a considerable time.
Improved crop conditions and
higher prices for farm products
will stimulate business. Shrewd
advertisers recognize this and will
go after increased trade.

MAY CE0WN SON AS A
Addis Ababa. The arrival of
Crown Prince Afsa Wosan from Des
sye, where he had been governor gen
eral of the province, gave rise to
rumors that Emperor llaile Selassie
might order his 20-year-old son
crowned king in case anything hap
pens to the emperor at the front.
Asfa Wosan (his name means "ex
pand frontier") could easily be ele
vated to a throne. Ethiopians point
out that since Hailc Selassie's title is
"king of kings" he possesses the right
to have kings under him. In 192S,
during the reign of Empress Zauditu,
aunt of llaile Selassie, he Was crown
ed king while holding the titles of
crown prince and regent. Two years
later, following Zauditu's death, the
present emperor was invested with
full title "king of kings, annointed
of God, and conquering lion of Ju
dah." JUBILEE PAYS OUT
McCook, Neb. McCook business
men who subscribed money to enter
tain visitors at the Republican val
ley reconstruction Jubilee discovered
they had a neat balance after nearly
all bills had been paid. A report by
Rolland Larmon, treasurer of the
celebration executive committee,
showed a balance of $1,000.99. The
chamber of commerce decided to hold
the money in its treasury for an an
nual celebration.

Guy Hinds was picking corn for
Ira Helms last Wednesday forenoon,
and during the afternoon was doing
some work about town.
Ira Helms and Fred Towle were at
tending the community sale, which
is held weekly at Waverly, driving
over last Wednesday afternoon.
I... It. Stanley was in Lincoln last
Wednesday, where he went for a load
of goods for the store and also looked
after some other business while he
was there.
Ralph Richards, who has some
38 head of cattle, took them down
near Weeping Water, where he is
pasturing them as long as the snow
does notcome to cover up the vegeta
tion. Just now there is plenty of
forage, but last year at this time, the
ground was covered with snow that
remained on almost all winter.
Edgar Henson, who attends school
at Elmwood and drives back and forth
each day, came near having a serious
accident last Tuesday afternoon when
he stopped to put some water in his
car and a Lincoln car came bowling
down the road at a fifty mile an hour
rate and before it could bo stopped
or Edgar could get his car out of the
way, the cars collided. No great
amount of damage was done.
Has Job All but Completed
John H. Woods, who with his crew
of truckers, have been hustling dur
ing the last few months, hauling and
distributing gravel on the different
roads of Cass county, has concluded
his work for this fall with the ex
ception of one more car, which they
are to distribute in the vicinity of
Alvo. This work will be held up for
a short time, however.
Car in the Ditch
The recent rains coupled with in
termittent freezing and thawing
weather have caused the dirt roads to
become very slippery. Aa a result, our
rural mail carrier was unable to ne
gotiate a corner some three miles east
of town, the car skidding and landing
in a ditch at the side of the road,
where it turned over on its side. A
telephone call brought a new Ford
which she had recently purchased in
Lincoln, and with it she made the
rest of the trip without further mis
hap. Louis Reese went out with a
tractor and pulled the car out of its
resting place in the ditch, bringing
it to town.
BEGIN PROJECT WORK SOON
Beatrice. Paul D. Marvin of Bea
trice, executive chairman of the
$440,000 Southwestern Nebraska
public power district, said Friday
work on the project would start in a
short time.
Marvin said officials of the district
attended a conference with rural elec
trification administration officials
Thursday at Kansas City and were
assured by W. E. Herring of Wash
ington, assistant REA administrator,
that the administration was anxious
to start work in the district, and
would do everything possible to rush
the work.
Plans for the project have been re
vised to some extent since TWA first
approved a loan for it, Marvin said.
Present plans call for the construc
tion of approximately 450 miles of
line to serve approximately 1,200
Gage county farmers.

RETAIL TRADE RISES SLOWLY
New Orleans. The slow rise In
retail trade during the week was con
tributed almost entirely by moderate
expansion in sections where colder
weather prevailed. Dun & Brad
ctrcet said. "As the covering of fall
requirements, which had been held In
check since mid-October, proceeding
on a generous scale in those districts
gripped by sold, volume of retail sales
was 3 to 10 percent larger than a
week earlier," the survey said. "The
estimated gain for the country over
the 193 4 comparative ranged from
5 to 15 percent, with cities reporting
a lsos in the minority.
