THE HOLT COUNTY FAIR
WILL BE A GOOD ONE
President F. J. Dishner informs The
Frontier that the final touches are now
being giving to the fair activities and
that everything is going fine for a big
fair this year even though the county
received a severe jolt when the hot
winds struck us last month.
The exhibits this year are limited
to Holt county only. ]
There is considerable com in the
county and the small grain crop was
good so that the agricultural exhibits
will make a fairly good showing.
Dan Desdune’s colored band will
furnish the music each day; he has an
aggregation of musicians that are far
above the average; they also have a
number of features including soloists
and dancers.
The free attraction of Philip &
Benny, acrobats and tumblers, is one
of the best free attractions on tour
this year. One of the tumblers is the
man that “cart-wheeled” around the
diamond at the opening of the world’s
series base ball games in Philadel
phia last October, and is considered
to be one of the best if not the best in
the world in this act.
A complete program of the event
for each day will be published in next
week’s issue.
All entries should be made as soon
as possible so that the secretary can
prepare the tags and thus eliminate
the rush at the last moment.
HUGH O’DONNELL WINS
TITLE IN TILDEN TOURNEY
Tilden, Neb., Sept. 5: Hugh O’Don
nell, O’Neill’s youthful golf ace, re
tained the crown he won in the Til
den tournament last year by defeat
ing Frank Morgan of Wayne yester
day in the titular match by a score of
1 up. This contest was one of the
best matches ever seen on the Tilden

championship match. A large gallery
followed the finalists.
H. B. HUBBARI) HAS
LOG CUT BY BEAVERS
Considerable discussion has been
current as. to just how much amuse
ment a beaver will indulge in, and
whether or not they can bowl. The
discussion began early last week when
H. B. Hubbard, the harness man, ex
hibited in his shop windows a five foot
log about six inches in diameter that
was cut almost to the center of the
log at intervals and in such a way by
the beaver that each section was al
most round and resembled a bowling
ball. The log is an interesting sight
for anyone that is interested in the
wjrk of dumb animals.

team last Friday at the Boone County
Fair at Albion, with a score of 6 to 6.
Honeycutt on the mound for O'Neill
held them easy, allowing only six hits

made a wild throw' which went to
centerfield and in playing for the run
ner at third it went through H. Martin
and he scored. In the 3rd they scored
again wrhen Faulk drove one out to
centerfield and Mackey made a hard
try for it but was unable to hold it
and a hit by Styles drove him in. In
the ninth the first man up grounded
to the pitcher and then Honeycutt’
Walked three men straight filling the
buses and “Spec” Burke relieved him,
striking out the first man up, but one

GHOST LIGHT FIELD
WILL BE DEVELOPED
Harry H. Haffner and Harry T. Os
born returned last week from Tulsa,
Oklahoma, where they succeeded in
contracting with The Helmerich &
Payne, Ins., to drill for oil in the
“Ghost Light” country northwest of
O’Neill.
A geologist and also an attorney
representing the company will be in
O’Neill between the 10th and the 15th
of this month for the purpose of lo
cating the dome where the drilling will
begin, and to close up the legal part of
the contract.
The company agree to drill a hole
to the depth of 3,000 feet or strike oil
in specified paying quantities for a
stated sum; the company will be paid
only a small part of the money until
the well has been completed. They
have a reputation of performance and
also have plenty of money to com
plete the work.
Many people do not understand
what will be required to bring an out
fit to O’Neill and what must be done
before any drilling can start. The
company will bring 8,600 feet of heavy
casing ranging in size from 15V6 inch
to 6 inch; nine cars will be necessary
to haul in the casing; the freight will
amount to about $500 per car; the
company have a new 6-cyhnder en
gine that will be shipped direct from
Ihe manufacturer to O’Neill that will
cost about $20,000; the rig irons and
rig that will be used here will cost
about $10,000; the derrick will require
22,000 to 25,000 feet of heavy lumber
and it will cost around $500 to build
it, about $1,000 will r><; used in digging
slush ponds and cellar and bib for the
rig; three cars will be required to
bring in the rig pattern and tools; it
is c-Hfmated that the work could be
finished in ninety days providing i! at
everything went smoothly; the cos' of
drilling will amount to $120. per day.
It is going to take considerable
money to complete the well. The
money will have to be subscribed be
fore the work will start. No one is
able to determine that there is oil
available in the Ghost Light district
but geologists and those who seem to
be posted on oil land conditions claim
that the conditions are very favorable
for striking oil in paying quantities
in this district. These men are coming
here at a great expense and are wil
ling to put their machinery to work
and advance considerable mortey to
determine what is beneath the hills in
this locality.
It is the intention of those promot
ing the oil company to organize a lo
cal company, with president, secretary
and treasurer who will have charge of
the finances and will pay out the
money. 1000 units will be issued at
$100 each which will be sold to those
who wish to invest. We are informed
that capitalists in Sioux City and
Omaha are already interested in the
well and are arranging to float the
units. A number of local people are
also interested in the proposition and
have agreed to purchase some of the
stock.
A meeting of those interested will
he held while the geologist and repre
sentatives of the Helmerich & Payne
Company are here next week.
EDUCATION AI, N OTES.
Most of the schools of the county
opened Monday for another term of
school. Those districts not opening
this week will open next Monday with
the exception of a few schools only
holding seven or eight months.
County Superintendent Luella A.
Parker, returned Monday evening with
the Holt County Contestants from the
State Fair Spelling Contest which was
held at Lincoln on last Saturday.
Patricia Sullivan of St. Mary’s Acad
emy and Horace Tipton from the Page
Public School were the contestants
from Holt County. Patricia Sullivan
took sixth place in the Oral Contest and
eighth place in the Written. Horace
| took twelfth place in the Oral. They
both stood up long enough to be listed
| as Perfect Spellers for which they re
| reived Perfect Spelling Certificates.
These were given after they had spell
ed through the Eaton’s Contest Spel
ler. In the Oral Contest Hamilton
Cfttmty took first place, Franklin
County second, Gage County third and
Lancaster County fourth. In the Writ
ten Contest Hamilton took first, Gage
second, Hamilton third, and Lancast
er fourth. The words pronounced to
ward the last were very difficult. Con
sidering the fact that the pupils spell
ed for two hours without an intermis
sion and against the best spellers from
each county we can feel very proud of
our contestants. Some of the counties
who were winners have entered con
testants in these contests for the past
ten years. This was Holt County’s
second appearance in the contest. The
children enjoyed the trip very much
and were delighted with the sights
they saw at the State Fair during the
short time the Contest allowed them
to attend.
The Atkinson and O’Neill Red Cross
Associations have enrolled all the
school children in both towns in the
Junior Red Cross Association. An ef
fort is being made to make Holt
County 100 per cent Junior Red Cross.
This will mean that all schools in the
county will enroll their pupils.. This
would requfre 50 cents per school in
the Rural Schools and 50 cents per
room for the town schools. By en
rolling in the Junior Red Cross the
children are taught early in life to ap
preciate the Spirit of Service for
Others.
$5.00 will be given to every schooj
entering a float in the parade at the
Holt County Fair on Children’s Day,
Wednesday, September 19th. This
money to be paid besides the premiums
for the best floats. Teachers are urg
ed to enter floats and advertise their
school.
CARD OF THANKS.
We desire to express our heartfelt
thanks and appreciation to the many
kind friends and neighbors for the
many acts of kindness shown us fol
lowing the death of our beloved wife
and mother, and for the many beauti
ful floral offerings.
