Mr. Cochran informed the Board that a four mile additional contract, be ginning at the South Fork and ex tending to the intersection straight east from Chambers, would be let in February and the work begun as soon as the weather will permit in the spring. The oiling of the nine mile strip of road north of the south fork will be continued as soon as the weather warms up in the spring. The new contract will consist of grading and maintenance. From the j south end of the new contract the j road will he graded and put in a good condition but will not be let under contract; we understand that Wheeler county will grade and nfain tain the road from the county line to Bartlett; this will give us a road south that will be in good shape to travel on some time during the sum mer.

Quig last Sun day evening, was contributed by one of the party. “Mrs. John L. Quig and Mrs. James McDermott were given a sur prise birthday anniversary party last Sunday evening; ’nuff said, as neither looked a day older than they did a year ago at this time, neither did either of them volunteer to tell their age. A number of their friends helped them to remember the day by bringing in some well filled baskets containing sandwiches, cake and cof fee; all report a glorious time argi wished the ladies many more birth days. Following is a list of those who were there: Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Hick ey; Mrs. John Hickey; Tom Griffin; James McDermott and Alice; Mr. and Mrs. Joe McNichols; Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Kilpatrick and Nadine; Mr. and Mrs. Tom Donohoe and sons; Jack Quig; Mr. and Mrs. George Dubois. Walt McNichols and John Hickey —if you knew what a good feed you missed, you would have come to the party.” AN ARCTIC VISITOR The following article was taken from a Valentine paper. Dr. Meer, mentioned in the article, is a brother to Miss Mayme Meer; he formerly resided in this city. “Much interest has been aroused this week by the appearance in one of the display windows of the Meer Drug Co. store of a snowy owl, cap tured on Dr. Meer’s place northeast of here by his tenant, Mr. Cherry. He is a handsome creature, with white feathers spotted with brown, and large, round head. Supt. F. H. Dille of the national game preserve, the only ornithologist in this section, states that the snowy owl comes from the Canadian far north, and seldom comes this far south. His arrival here indicates that the far north is having an unusually severe winter. He states that this bird is a young one, and that the plumage becomes whiter as the bird becomes older." WHAT no YOU THINK OF THIS ANONYMOUS LETTER? The Frontier received the following anonymous letter last Saturday and we are passing it on to you without comment. Here ’tis: O’Neill, Nebraska, Dec. 14, 1929. Holt County Frontier. O’Neill, Nebraska Dear Sir: Nearly everyone has read „ some time or other how and why the gov ernment is preserving the forests by replacing all the trees that are cut. Since there are no forests around O’Neill, reading these articles would have no effect on the average person around this locality. I think there are great possibilities for everyone no matter where they live to co-operate with the government in replacing the trees that are so thoughtlessly cut down. Every year after Christmas the baby pine trees that are used for Christmas trees are generally thrown away or burned. Couldn’t these be jManted? It would only take about five minutes if this wonderful weath er continued. If one keeps the pine trees in moistened sand during the Christmas season while they are in the house they will make a desperate effort to grow when they are planted. I can’t think of anything that one could do that would start the New Year off as right as this. Sincerely, A School-girl. P. S. Won’t you please write some thing in your paper about this in stead of wasting space by publishing those name locals. Thanks. LOCAL NEWS. I)r. Finley will leave Sunday for Minnesota to spend Christmas with his daughters. The Neligh papers of last week an nounced the issuance of a marriage license in that city to Alva T.

Mrs. Dave Boy spent Monday in Sioux City, shopping. Cars driven by George Bay and Otto Claussen collided on highway number 8 about nine miles north of O'Neill last Monday evening.

O’Donnell assumed chair manship and put on a very good pro gram with the guests present. A de lectable lunch was served by the hostess. A miniature Christmas tree I was the centerpiece for the table; decorated Christmas trees were in evidence within and without the house and the Christmas thought prevailed during the evening. The guests departed extending the sason’s greetings. Mrs. J. J. Thomas has a warm spot in her heart for at least one member of the O’Neill Boy Scout troup. A few days ago Mrs. Thomas lost a pair of glasses; Dale Sterns, a Boy Scout, found the glasses and return ed them to Mrs. Thomas as soon as he learned to whom they belonged. Mrs. Thomas tried in several ways to reward Dale for returning the glass es but he flatly refused to accept any remuneration for the services, say ing that he was a Boy Scout and could not accept anything for that kind of service. A boy or group of boys who will stick that close to an obligation at this season of the year when every lad craves money, are to he commended for their sterling qual ities and should receive the support of everyone in the community. •
