ACCIDENTS ON ROAD.
The state department of public
works has compiled data concerning
automobile accidents in Nebraska.
Since January 1, 1922, there have been
160 accidents on state roads? Of
these 36 were collisions of autos, 28
were autos going to the ditch. Twenty
people were killed and 156 were in
jured. In 92 cases accidents occurred
on straight roads.
Reading the facts which have been
gathered regarding the •circumstances
of these accidents one cannot miss the
conclusion that in every case careless
ness and speed were the largest con
tributing causes—if not the only ones.
The worn plea: “I was doing only 15
miles” does not repair the damage,
and furthermore, does not deceive any
one. At a reasonable rate of speed a
car can be stopped quickly enough'to
avoid almost any collision.
There are some phases of the traffic
problem which can be regulated by
law. But carelessness, disregard for
others' rights, and foolhardiness can
be dealt with best by education. We
stand for a campaign for sanity in the
use of Nebraska autos.

Many pupils are looking forward to
hearing Jonn G. Neihardt’s recital of
his own poems. This takes place at
the high scoool auditorium Thursday
evening. Mr. Neihardt’s poems are of
particular interest to us as many of
his works are developed trom scenes
in Nebraska and Dakota. The fact
that he is a Nebraska man, spending
his boyhood and receiving his educa
tion in northeast Nebraska is of
special interest. He is also appointed
poet laureat of Nebraska; our state
being the only state having a poet
laureate.

DELL BAKER WILL
TAKE NEW POSITION
« -
A recent.issue of the Wyoming
State Tribune published at Cheyenne,
Wyoming, contained a large picture of
A. Baker of Cheyenne, wno has been
state land commissioner since March
1919. Mr. Baker will retire from this
office on February 15th and will go
with the Ohio Oil Co., at Casper, where
he will be in charge of the land and
lease department of that concern. Mr.
Baker was formerly a resident of
O’Neill and still continues to make
regular visits here with his wife who,'
* V «
before her marriage to Mr. Baker, was
known as Agnes Gallagher, daughter
of Mrs. Mike Gallagher of this city.
Following is a short sketch of the
doing of Mr. Baker for the *>ast fif
teen years which might be of interest
to those who knew him prior to his
leaving O’Neill:
“He has been a resident of Cheyenne
since 1907. His two sons passed
through the Cheyenne schools from
kindergarten to graduation in high
school, and the older son, all-state
football and basketball player, in now
a freshman at the University of Wy
oming.
“Prior to March, 1919, Baker was
for 12 years in charge of all of the
field investigations of the Interior De
partment, U. S. general land office, in
Wyoming, Nebraska and South Da
kota, with headquarters at Cheyenne.
During this time the duty devolved
upon him of investigating a number
of the large government cases to re
cover coal and other lands alleged to
have been obtained fraudently. Some
of the most important of these cases
were the Union Pacific Coal company
Ilorse Thief Canyon, Diamond Coal &
Coke company, Gebo, et al; P. J.
Queaiy, ct al, and J. B. Okie cases.
March 1, 1919, Baker resigned from
the government service to accept the
place of state land commissioner for
Wyoming, tendered him by Governor
Robert D. Corey. His administration
of the land office under Gov^rhor
Carey has been in many respects the
most remarkable of that important of
fice since" its creation in 1905. Large
ly through his efforts, supported by
the land boards, the permanent school
and other permanent funds, which
amounted to $2,673,740.09 when he
took office, have been increased until
on September 30, 1922, these funds ag
gregated the enormous total of $9,
...— ..■ '■"■uf ijii
088,427.1$.
"But few men in Wyom! j possess
a better knowledge of government
land law and regulations and state
laws and procedure relative to state
lands, or a more intimate knowledge
of conditions in every part of the
state, and wider ocquaintance.”
