Landslide Changes
Course in River
'
Sunken 20 - Acre Tract
Near Naper Attracts
Widespread Interest
NAPER — A landslide or
the Niobrara river, about two
miles East of the White Horse
ranch, created widespread in
terest here over the weekend.
A tract of land estimated to
be at least 20 acres has slip
ped, portions of it into the riv
er. As a result, the course of
the river has been altered.
First evidence of the phem
omena occurred early Friday
about a half-mile back from
the river channel, where the
hill “seemed to break loose,” as
one observer put it. Where the
breakaway occurred, the walls
appear as though they had been
sheared by a mighty instrument
as sharp as an ax.
The landslide resulted in
partially filling a bayou.
0 The Yocum hill is on the
Boyd county side of the Nio
brara river, which is one of
the swiftest-flowing plains
streams in the world. The hill
is near the confluence of the
Niobrara river and Keya Paha
creek.
Land previously had been us
ed for pasturing livestock. It
has been owned by the Yocum
Bros.
Residents in the area this
week are speculating on the
cause of the landslide. Some at
tribute it to an earthquake
tremor that rocked the Pacific
Northwest last week. Others
say the hill rested on shale-like
rock, common along the North
bank of the Niobrara, and con
tinued high water may have de
veloped a cavern-like effect un
der the hill and the collapse re
sulted.
In any event the phenomena
has brought sightseer's from
many miles.
Landslides on a miniature
scale have been common occur
ances along the Niobrara and
Missouri rivers to oldtimers, but
seldom have slides of this size
been reported.
A similar slide—though on a
lesser scale—a year ago filled
the arena at the White Horse
ranch.
Frank Clausen, whose land
joins the Yocum property, is re
ported as saying that the slide
was caused by too much mois
ture.
Ruth Thompson, of the White
Horse ranch, has described the
slide as an avalanche.

A meeting of the Nebraska

yet most neglected roads ir
Nebraska.
Business on the agenda

the association. In mid-Win
ter a meeting of the chapter
was held at St. Paul, but,
because of storm and road
conditions, there was little
representation of cities and
J towns North of the Platte
river. This partially accounts
for a second meeting within
such a short time.
11 Host will be the O’Neil!
'Chamber of Commerce. A
dutch lunch is planned.
In making arrangements, the
O’Neill Chamber undertook tc
' notify civic groups at Greelej

CONSUMERS TO
REROUTE LINES
Improvement Calculated to
Better Service in
Atkinson
Talk Muny Power
L. C. Walling, O Neill dis
trict manager ot the Consum
ers Public Power district, this
week announced that he has
given approval to prepare plans
and specifications for the re
routing and rebuilding a part
of the transmission line be
tween O’Neill and Atkinson.
The present line is located
in the Elkhorn river bottom,
near Atkinson.
The old line paralleling this
section of the line was im
passable during the severe
Winter and again during the
high water and made mainten
ance difficult—“almost imposs
ible,” Walling said.
The line is the principle
source of power for the Atkin
son community. When snow,
sleet and wind hit the vicinity
recently, the heavy-laden lines
caused the poles to tip over in
the mud
Talk of a municipal plant
at Atkinson has resulted
from the service interruptions
during the Winter and Spr
ing.
Meanwhile, Mr. Walling says,
Consumers plans to go ahead
with the rerouting and rebuild
ing of the line, and also to
make a pole-by-pole inspection
of transmission lines including
the line from O’Neill to. Ains
worth in order to strengthen
the lines that were subjected
to the severe Winter beatings
when the only means of pat
rol was by air.
Mr. Walling also stated that
this work will get underway
immediately and that every ef
fort is being made to push a
head improvements needed in
the area to guard against fur
ther damage by storms.
Plans for rerouting the line
will be madeup by the districl
engineering department and it
is planned that the heavy
equipment of the district’s con
struction crews will be sent tc
aid in digging the holes and
setting poles for the new por
tion of line.
Walling explained to The
Frontier service interrup
tions on several occasions
have resulted from lack of
communications.
Engineers are expected ir
the city momentarily to layou
plans for a shortwave transmit
ter in O’Neill for Consumer
use. The district headquarter
here, which serves 13 countie:
and 55 towns in North Nebras
ka, will be in two-way contac
with strategic points in the net
work and with maintenance
and patrol vehicles.
