In a draw north of the Niobra ra river a concrete box culvert 6 feet high, 6 feet wide and 177 feet long will be built. One oth er concrete box culvert and 16 metal culverts will be construct ed on the route. At the northern side of the new Niobrara bridge, 600 cubic yards of concrete riprap is to be placed around the bridge abut ment to protect it from flood wa ters. From the Niobrara river south, the new road is to have a sand clay blanket course. This will require more than IS thousand cubic yards of ma terial.

Frontier Reader for 40 Years Corrects Columnist on the McAllister Family By ROMAINE SAUNDERS Special Correspondent LINCOLN — Mrs. Jennie Ep penbach, who says she has been a reader of The Frontier for more than 40 years, writes to me from O’Neill to correct a statement in “Prairieland Talk’ that Henrietta McAllister was a daughter of the late James and Mrs. McAllister. Instead it should have read that she was a daughter of Daniel and Sarah McAllister “Jim,” writes Mrs. Eppenbach, "was my father, whose family consisted of seven daughters and six sons, all living.” This is a re cord that not many families can show. Jim was a pioneer in the pure bred cattle business, having one of the first herds of Angus in the county. Mrs. Eppenbach mentions the John Smoot family, John having taken as his bride an aunt of hers, daughter of Daniel and Sarah McAllister and sister of Henrietta Frye. "Of the Smoots large family there is but one living,” says Mrs. Eppenbach. She also says they puichased the land her grand father homesteaded in 1881 or 1882, are living on the land and in the house that was the girl hood home of Henrietta. In 1884 Mrs. Eppenbach was born in that same Holt county neighborhood. Passing years have witnessed the coming and going of a restless people. Mrs. Eppenbach is one of many whose life’s interest became an chored in a fruitful vale of prair ieland and as the shadows of the inevitable sunset gather in days to come she may go into the se I rene period of life conscious of having been one of that body at God’s womanhood who in the long ago were planted on prairieland to mother the homes and com munities that we know today.
