son and Miss Annie Emerson,
daughter of John Emerson, of'Dor
aey.
The dedication of the M. E. •

The Frontier, March 25, 1886
Fine weather the first of the
week.
Duck hunting is now the order
of the day.
On Tuesday evening there was
an important meeting called in
MeCafferty’s hall. A Mr. Bridges,
of Crete, was present and offered to
put in a $15,000 mill at O’Neill,
provided that the citizens of the
town would give him a bonus of
$1,500. Eight hundred dollars was
pledged that evening.
Fifty Years Ago
The Frontier, March 19, 189'
The Short Line blockade has been

The artesian well contractors are
here and getting in shape to com

will be required to pay in fifty per
cent of the amount at once.
The program that was arranged
for St. Patrick’s night in this city
was the presentation of the patri
otic historical drama, “Robert
Emmet,” by local talent. The per
formers surprised themselves and
their most ardent admirers, who
thought that with the limited
amount of training they had it
would be impossible to attain the
degree of perfection which the dif
ficult play requires in order to pro
duce the desired effect By special
request the play was reproduced
the following evening, also with
success, and to a crowded house.
Following was the cast of char
acters:
Robert Emmet, the Irish patriot...

j one ticket in the field this year, the
present officials being candidates
for re-election without opposition.
They sue: Mayor, Edward F. Gal

lagher; Treasurer, Bernard Me-1

Daniel Gallagher, an old settler
of the Elkhorn river country near
Inman, died on March 5, at Wil
mington, Delaware. Mr. Gallagher
had been in Delaware for some time
past, although his home was still in
this county.
A large delegation of O’Neill
Odd Fellows went bo Inman Tues
day afternoon and that night insti
tuted a lodge at Inman of some
forty members.
The Frontier, March 23, 1911
But little interest is manifest in
the city election which will be held
on April 4. So far there is no con
test for any office except in the
Third ward, where there are two
candidates for alderman, C. E. Hall,
now one of the councilmen from
that ward, and C. C. Millard, being
the two candidates. Mayor Biglin
is a candidate for re-election as is
also Treasurer J. F. Gallagher and
Clerk Herb Hammond. In the First
ward, D. H. Cronin ^s a candidate
for re-election to the council and
M. H. McCarthy in the second.
There is talk among the voters
about getting out other candidates,
but petitions for only those above
named have been filed with the City
Clerk.
Michael Lawless died in this city
Friday last at the home of his
brother-in-law and was buried Sat

the Catholic church. He was 46
years of age and had been a resi
dent of Park City, Utah, for sev
eral years.
Twenty Years Ago
The Frontier, March 17K 1921
Interest in the city campaign was
evidenced last week by the circulat
ing of petitions of numerous can
didates for city office. Petitions.
for C. M. Daly and J. M. Hunter
for mayor were the first to make,
their appearance and each is re
ceiving a liberal number of signa
tures. There is one councilman to!
be elected from each ward, James'
Brown being the retiring member
in the First, Mrs. D. Stannard in
the Second and H. W. Tomlinson in
the Third. Four candidates have
developed in the First ward for the
council, Frank Phalin, Eugene May
field, R. E. Gallagher and Mrs. Jo
seph Wise. Mrs. Stannard will
probably have no opposition in the
Second and in the Third the petition
•of George Shoemaker is the only
one to show up to date.
The Frontier, March 24, 1921
Michael Sullivan, one of the
early settlers of Holt county, died

A REPORT
to America
9
I The Ford Motor Company’s
business has always been to
serve the needs of the American
people. In providing them with
low-cost transportation for the
past 38 years, we have devel
oped one of the country’s larg
est and most useful industrial
units. During a national emer
gency, we feel that these facili
ties should be devoted without
reserve to our country’s needs.
Toward that end we started
rolling months ago, with these
results:
1A $21,000,000 Ford airplane en
gine factory, started only 6 months
ago, is nearly completed. Production
will start with an initial order for
4,236 eighteen cylinder, air-cooled,
double-row, radial engines.
2 We are building a new $800,000
Ford magnesium alloy foundry,
one of the few in the country. It is
already producing lightweight air
plane engine castings.
3 Army reconnaissance cars — mili
tary vehicles of an entirely new
type — are rolling off special Ford
assembly lines at the rate of more
than 600 a month. We have produced
Army staff cars and bomber service
trucks.
J The government has given the
t "go-ahead” and work is now
under way for the fast construction
of an $11,000,000 Ford plant
to produce bomber airframe
assemblies by mass produc
tion methods.
5 Several months ago work was
started, on our own initiative, on
an entirely new 1500 horsepower air
plane engine especially designed for
mass production. This engine is now
in the test stage and plans are being
developed for producing it in large
quantities when and if needed.
6 A Ford aircraft apprentice school
has been established, to train 2000
students at a time.
That is a report of progress
to date.
The experience and facilities
of this company can be used
to do much of the job which
America now needs to get done
in a hurry.
Our way of working, which
avoids all possible red tape, en
ables us to get results and get
them fast. This benefits users
of our products and workers
who produce them.
We are ready to make any
thing we know how to make,
to make it to the limit of our
capacity if need be, to make it
as fast as we can go, and to start
the next job whenever our
country asks us to. And to this
end, we know we have the full
confidence and loyal
support of the workmen
throughout our plants.
