Bauman LIBRARY CHATTER By Miss Bernadette Brennan Have you visited your publ:c library lately? Do you know that among the 3,500 books on hand there are many which will answer your questions, many more to give you that pleasant, out-of-this-world feeling which comes from a thoroughly inter esting story? From the “paybook” section of the adult books you may select from most of the “best sellers” the best in fiction. Read from these the current books at the very low cost of two cents a day. From the regular adult section two books may be taken on one card and kept two weeks. Through the cooperation of our two schools, the young mod erns have been introduced to that very enjoyable habit of be coming lost in an entrancing story with the knowledge that it will make a perfect book re port for English class. To this end the junior section has been thoughtfully built. Dickens, London and Tarkington vie with Newberry prize-winners, top writers of today, who prove to ’teenagers that their lives can be worthwhile, full of adventure and pleasure. Youngest Not Slighted The youngest groups of read ers have not been slighted. Books for children from pre school age up to and including those grown-up eighth graders. Books overflowing with true and imaginative stories, beautifully illustrated by talented artists. While the author carries the young mind on journeys to far off lands—through thrilling mys teries, through animal and ca reer stories, the artist is at work helping develop an appreciation of good art in the mind at its most receptive and retentive stage. The Grattan township public library is open for book circu lation on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons from 2 to 5:30 p.m.; on Thursday and Friday evenings from 7 to 9. Card fee for residents of Grat tan township and children at tending local schools is 10 cents —cards to be renewed the first of each year. Nonresident card fee is $1 per year. Two books may be checked out on each card and kept for two weeks. You are very welcome. Do stop in before too long. Miss Mary Jean Murphy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Murphy, returned last Thursday from a five-weeks’ visit in the J. E. Ballew home at Sioux City. Please route your freight O’NEILL TRANSFER.

Cher One of the almost legendary figures in the story of old Ne braska is Lt. Col. Don Pedro de Villazur, the doughty Span ish soldier who in the summer of 1720 led an ill-fated expe dition from Santa Fe to the River Jesus San Maria, ths ri ver which we know mere pro saically as the Platte. The Spaniards, by virtue of Coronado’s expedition into the Nebraska country almost two centuries earlier, claimed all of the upper great plains for their own. This claim, how ever, was actively disputed by the French — who, moreover, were doing something about it. Adventuresome and cunning French furtraders were push ing up the far reaches of the Missouri, the Platte, and other western streams to trade with the Indians and win their al legiance to the crown of France. It was in order to reassert the Spanish claim that Lt. Col. Villazur was sent northeast from Santa Fe in the summer of 1720. (A year earlier, the governor in Santa Fe had started on such a trip, but as he got to thinking about the dreaded Pawnee Indians to the north, he suddenly changed his mind someplace in western Kansas and scurried back to Santa Fe.) Objective Uncertain We cannot be absolutely sure just what Col. Villazur was to accomplish when he reached his destination, but his certainly was no mere scouting party. Among other things, so the ancient record has it. his equipment on that long and arduous journey included farming implements, construc tion tools, domestic animals, and goods to be traded for furs. During the first week in Au gust, the expedition arrived at the valley of the Platte. The exact location is not known, but it may have been in the vicinity of the present city of Columbus. They made first one atempt and then another to council with the Pawnees. The Pawnees, however, prob ably under impetus from the French, were hostile, and de termined on war. Col. Villazur then exercised what appears to have been very unsound military judg ment. Failing to get a council with the Pawnees, he moved his command and camped in the tall grass of the Platte val ley near the river’s edge. Here th Indians, in a predawn at tack, wiped out the entire company, except four or five who were able to escape, and who ultimately found their weary way back to Santa Fe.
