New Telephone Cable
is Being Placed
.
The work of placing nearly five miles of cable
containing more than 750 miles of telephone wire is
now being done in O’Neill. Some of this cable is
being placed underground and some is being strung
on poles used jointly with the electric light company.
It was necessary to lay 1,816 feet of conduit
underground to accommodate part of the telephone
cable and all of this work requires considerable time
and expense.
Placing telephone wires in cables greatly re
duces the possibility of your service being interrupt
ed due to storms and other causes.
Wo appreciate the opportunity of providing
the people of O’Neill with a telephone system that
will meet their needs satisfactorily.

read the description of the blizzard
of 1888 given by Mr. Matthews and
others. It was surely a terrible bliz
zard; I was there with a lot of stock
on hand and not very good shelter
for it; the open shed filled with snow
and the house w’ould have filled also

interesting days; healthy though; I
had a good appetite; the great.trou

the house-full of children and old
folks; twenty miles to town; ten
miles for wood; money was not very
plentiful, but we managed to pull
through and finally began to make a
little money. Yes, we spent forty
years—the best part of our life in
Blackbird, Holt county, Nebraska,
and we are not sorry for that; we
generaly had good crops; we still
