Special Correspondent The writer accompanied 1 Messrs. Gillespie, McManus and Nolan on a recent visit to the charming grounds of Niobrara state park, lying in shad d tranquility between the Mis souri and Niobrara rivers near the town from which the park derives the name. Niobrara, once the gateway to north Nebraska, when set tlers crossed the Missouri at Running Water, Dakota Terri tory where homesteaders went to wager $14 with the U. S. land office that they could hold down a quarter section of vir gin prairie; where such nota bles as Ed Fry, Lament, A. B Charde and Col. Towle had cast anchor, is now a well-appoint ed town compared to the wild west aspect when first I saw it in the early ’80s. We went to the ferry landing two miles from town. The mud dy Missouri rolls on to the Mis sissippi as it has since the an cestors of Sitting Bull paddled their canoes from shore-to shore and fur traders worked ! > their way to the headwaters Wind blew off of the dreary bluffs on the Dakota side, sand rolled in clouds on the farther shore, the troubled waters were grey and forbidding as we awaited the oncoming ferry' boat from Running Water as it made its slow and even w_y against the current. Five auto mobiles, with the passengers, rolled onto Nebraska soil when the ferry cast anchor. At the park, Senator Butler and Congressman Stefan greet ed us cordially. Mr. Stefan has to do with the federal under taking at Ft. Randall. The over-all picture in Ante lope, Knox, Boyd and Holt counties is good. A few spots wtre hailed out and some dam i ged by drought. Evidence of poor farming as the car moved over the highway inspired the Irish wit of our party to re mark: “A d— Irishman liv s there.” Will Grothe west of Emmet has a field of the best corn seen in four counti s.
