Hogs Off at Omaha
During Biggest Run
in Over 4 Years
Hogs broke 75c to $1.50 Mon
day at Omaha as receipts' top
ped the 25,000-mark. It was
the most hogs on sale at Om
aha in any one day since
May, 1944, or in over four and
one half years.
Butchers weighing i80 to 360
pounds sold at $17 to $20. The
$20 top was lowest since Oct
ober 14, 1946, the last day the
OPA ceiling of $15.90 prevail
ed, but Monday’s average price
was still above that of $18.25
in May, 1948.
Fat cattle Monday at Omaha
sold weak to $1 or more off in
extremely dull and erratic
trade. Most sales ranged from
$21 to $25, with heifer top
$25. and yearling-type steers
and a few mixed yearlings to
$30. Cows were also weak to
$1.00 lower, canners' and cut
ters largely $14.50 to $16.50,
and most beef cows $17.00 to
$18.50 a few $19.00 to $20.00
Bullls, higher by $1 to $1.25 last
week, were 50 cents to $1 low
er Monday, to be stopped at $22.
75. Veal calves, however, held
to the dollar-higher top of $29.
000 first reached last week.
Stockers and feeders sold un
evenly weak to $1.00 lower,
mainly at $21-50 to $23.50, steer
calves to $25.00. Fat lambs
were weak to 50 cents off, bet
ter kinds 23.50 to $24.00.
Second Severe Storm Causes Heavy
Damage to Consumers Power Lines
Nebraska had barely recov
ered from the damaging No
vember blizzard when a second
unusually severe storm, bring
ing freezing rain and snow
driven by extremely high
winds, cut a swath of add t
ional destruction through the
central and northeastern part
of the state December 28.
Electric and communication
lines were literally riddled in
some areas as' the storm mov
ed in to Kearney, Lexington
and Loup City areas and pro
ceeded on through the vicinit
ies of Albion, Newman Grove,
Humphrey and Norfolk and ex
tended through the O’Neill
area to the northeastern cor
ner of te state.
Power and communication
lines, coaled with heavy ice
from the freezing rain, snap
ped under the strain of the
driving wind and snow which
followed, interrupting com
munications and electric ser
vice in many communities.
The whipping of the ice-la
den wires in the extremely
high wind caused wires to
snap and crossarms and pins
to break in many places.
According to reports of dam
age from Consumers Public
Power district, the main fury
of the storm hit the Kearney.
Lexington, Grand Island and
Loup City areas with consid
erable damage reported in the
Albion, Newman Grove and
Norfolk districts and in the
area through O’Neill to the
Southwest corner of the state.
Several major construction
crews of Consumers' Public
Power district from the York,
Beatrice and Pawnee City dis
tricts were rushed into the
Kearney and Grand Island
areas to assist local crews with
emergency work, making a to
tal of about 100 men working
in the area.
Seven additional crews from
Columbus Hartington, Norfolk
and O’Neill teamed up making
another 100 men to cope with
the storm in the Albion, Nor
oik and O’Neill areas.
O'Neill district was divid
ed into sections and electric
energy was rationed to each
section on an hourly basis.
Although repair work was
greatly hampered by the driv- i
ing blizzard, and travel was
almost impossible on snow
blocked roads, crews of Con
sumers Public Power district
worked throughout the storm
and planes took to the air as
soon as flying was possible to
locate damage
It is extremely unusual for
storms of such severity to hit
this area with such frequency,
and lines expected to withstand
such severe storms only once
or twice in 10 or 15 years.
Ed Scott on Champ
Sugar Bowl Quint
ATKINSON--Ed Scott, form
er St. Joseph’s academy!
basketball ace and now a mem
ber of the St. Louis (Mo.) un
iversity cage team, played in
the Sugar Bowl tournament at
New Oreleans, La.
Scott’s team won the meet,
turning back Holy Cross and
the University of Kentucky.
Scott’s coacn is Ed Hick
ey, formley of Creighton un
iversity in Omaha. When
Hicky went to St. Louis, he
took the St. Joe great along
with him. Scott saw plenty
of action in both Sugar Bowl
games.
In St Louis eyes are focused
on Sophomore Ed, who is con
sidered capable of finding the
hoop from all over the court— i
an art he learned to profession
on an outdoor private bang
board in an Atkinson alley.
He features a soft, one-handed
push-shot. Scott’s defensive
work and speed in the break
mark him as a major factor in
the Billikens’ future plans.
CITY PONDERS
PLOW PURCHASE
O’Neill’s city council met in
emergency special session on
Tuesday to discuss the snow
situation.
Several councilmen had a line
on a rotary snowplow that could
be purchased immediately and
put oj work clearing the streets
and alleviating the fire hazard.
They expressed belief that with
the streets choked with snow
an outbreak of fire might
’^reaten large sections of the
city and prove costly.
On the other hand. Mayor
H. E. Coyne said the city's
treasury was depleted in view
of heavy municipal expendi
tures during the past year.
The proposed plow would cost
in the neighborhood of eight
thousand dollars. Removal of
only a part of the snow in the
business district following the
November blizzard cost the
city well over one thousand
dollar.
Mayor Coyne estimated sev
eral times that amount would
have to be spent to move the
snow now on the streets.
Meanwhile, the city has made
arrangements to lease a com
bination maintainer-snowplow
outfit from an Omaha firm. A
rebuilt piece of machinery, it
is expected to arrive here to
day (Thursday). An option to
buy may be written into the
agreement if rotary plans are
abandoned.
Uncle Sam
Wants Share
January 1 used to have one
meaning—New Year’s day.
Now it has another also for
wage earners—time to start fig
uring how much the income
tax is going to take.
Farmers and others who do
not file estimates of income
with the collector of internal
revenue have until January 15
either to (1) make an estimate
and plunk down 75 percent of
it or (2) make the actual and
complete return.
I Those whose income is sub
ject to the regular withold
ing tax or who pay in quar
terly installments on the estim
ated income plan will have
until March 15 to complete
their 1948 returns.
Owing to bad weather and
impassable conditions of coun
try roads, C. W. Porter, deputy
collector at the O’Neill zone
office, said Tuesday that the
previously published itinerary
for deputy collectors' could not
be carried out.
Mr. Porter said:
"In order to comply with
the regulations, those un
able to contact us or some
one else to assist them to
complete the return, on or
before January 15, 1949.
should file an estimate on
form 1040-ES paying the tax
so estimated on or before
January 15, and then any
time before March 15 com
plete the regular return and
pay the balance of the tax
shown or apply for a re
fund if the estimated tax
was too high."
Deputy collectors will be on
hand at the O’Neill zone of
fice on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, January
11, 12, 13 and 14. Collectors
will be at Chambers and At
kinson on Monday, January
10. These will be the only calls
made in Holt county.
