MAKE IMPORTANT CHANGES A phase of the electric industry seldom appreciated by the layman, in tact unheard of by the average per- i son, in the tremendous amount of thought and planning involved in con-1 ■ tantly keeping ahead of load de mands and anticipating future require-1 incuts in time to properly care fori them. Recently the Interstate Power Com pany made changes in their transmis sion system affecting some twenty-one towns in northeastern Nebraska. 1 he work consisted of relocating numerous transformermers installing several new ones at strategic points and making new connection to give better voltage regulation and service; the work l>cing done under the direct supervision of Mr. E. G. Wisco, Chief Operating (Engineer) of the company. That interruptions to the patrons be reduced to a minimum the majority of the changes were made during the i midnight to morning hours and it is quite nrobable that many customers j were unaware of any interruption to | their service. The magnitude of this change will be more readily appreciated by the fact that fifteen men labored day and night for approximately two weeks during fog, rain and snow to complete j the work. Since completing the change, Mr. H. G. Kruse, of O’Neill, Nebraska, the company technician in charge of Sub stations and Electrical equipment has been checking voltage and load coa litions at the various towns, balancing load on various substations and dis tributing systems with the object of improving the service. This is but another instance of th($ company spending time and money with thte sole thought of improving the quality of service and keeping that intangible asset, without which no utility can exist—the Good will of its patrons. COUNTY JUDGE MALONE SUSTAINS LONG LOST WILL County Judge Malone handed down his decision last week in the case of Eeltz vs. Feltz. This case has at tracted considerable attention because of the fact that a will was discovered long after the estate had been divided. The facts are ubout as follows. Mr. F. C. Feltz, a bachelor, long a resident of Ewing, died at the home of a brother in the state of Texas, on the 18th of August, 1920, possessed of property Valued at about $50,000.00. As no will was known to exist, F. J. Feltz, of Ogalla, Nebraska, was, on petition, appointed administrator. Seven years later when the affairs of the Ewing State Bank was being liquidated a will was discovered which made an entirely different disposition of the property than that made by the administroor. As soon as the will was found and offered for probate, F. U. Feltz, up to that time had failed to file any report, filed his final report W'hich wras ob jected to by Firman Q. Feltz, who had been named in the will as the exe cutor. The Court sustained the ob jection. The estate consists of about $40,000.00 worth of real estate and $10,000.00 of personal property. Attorney Halligan, of Ogalla, and | Joint A. Harmon, of O’Neill, are rep-; ; resenting the executor, Firman Q. Feltz and Attorney James A. Dono j hoe the former administrator, Mr. F. jj. Feltz. The case will undoubtedly; ! be appealed. | COUNTY BOARD ORGANIZE FOR THE COMING TERM The county board of supervisors met ! last Tuesday and organized for the coming two years by reelecting John Sullivan chairman.

First scalp was raised at Bristow Wednesday night. The O’Neill hoopsters won a 16-12 victory. Hitting the snow drifts Friday night the home products explained “how,” to the fast Orchard team, the game ending 19-16, all O’Neill. The game opened with a neat under basket shot by the elongated Chick Gaines Jr., who performed in an out standing manner for O'Neill. Fast floor work and close guarding were much in evidence while fouls by both teams kept the referee quite busy. The team is anxious to book a few more games.

M.: Sauers. Many more would have re- j sponded to the club’s invitation hadj not the weather been so unfavorable. “The Lantern In Her Hand” is the story of one Abbie Deal, who endured all the hardships incident to the early, life in Nebraska. Coming to the state! the year following it’s admission to the Union, she experienced life in the sod die with roads following the trail of the buffalo. Contrast this with our highways of today. She says “the de-J velopment of the road is the evolution of the various stages of civilization.”. She suffered the drouths which burned : i;f the crops planted on the new sod. | ‘ still born in the womb of nature,” went through the grasshopper pest of 1874, the blizzard of '88, forever com batting the adverse elements, “The God of the settlers seemed to say: snows, drouths, blizzards, dust storms, rains, hot winds and the litttle pigmy people—He held them all in the hol iow of his hand.” She recalled the legalizing of Ar bor Day.
