Lets Give 'em A Lift Prairieland Talk— 1902 Issue Tells of North Western’s Dream of Extending to West Coast By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN — The Frontier of' November 20, 1902, records the marriage of George Shoemaker and Miss Nellie Joyce, both of pioneer Holt county families . . . M. P. Kinkaid, who had been elected to crongress from the Sixth district, planned to con tinue his law practice in O’ Neill for near ly a year until taking up leg islative duties in Washington. . . . Governor elect Mickey was on the train with The Frontier editor, his excellency being enroute Romaine to Keya Paha Saunders county, where he had ranching interests. , . The November elections that year recorded seven ties in con tests for township offices. Coun ty Clerk Gilmour and County Attorney A. F. Mullen cast lots, Mullen representing the Popu lists and Gilmour the Republi cans. He drew two and Mullen five. . . J. L. Mack, a Union sol dier, made application in 1891 for an increase of pension from $4 per month to $10. In 1898, the war department was notified of Mr. Mack’s death, and on No vember 10, 1902, J. J. King was notified that the increase had been allowed. . . The issue of No vember 27 of The Frontier tells of the marriage of Harvey Stock ing and Kittie Bright, two popu lar young people of O’Neill. . . The paper of that date devoted a long story to a dream of the North Western railroad extend ing their line to the Pacific coast. . . In January, 1903, Judge J. J. Harrington and Reporter John Maher went to Chadron to hold court, 31 indictments having been returned by a grand jury against Dawes county saloon men involved in gambling. . . O. F. Biglin, clerk of the Modern Woodman, received a draft for | $3,000 payable to Mrs. W. Rat i lift for the death of her husband. m • • Naked legs, like an inverted fork, bare arms embracing a puffed - up spherical object, a kwhisp of cloth around the middle on which is the brand of their outfit, a young squirt leaning ov er in an attitude of making a lunge — basketball takes over. Football and baseball in retire ment. What a lot of fun wrapped up in the balls. Bowling balls, billiard balls, baseball, vollej ball, tennis ball, football, soft ball. golfball, and the one-time popular handball that entertain ed for hours O’Neill sports like ^he late Jess Mellor and John Horiskey. Grounds dedicated to this sport were on the alley by the Snyder lumber yard and over shadowed all other outdoor a musemenis during a season or two. The Indians had a ball game of their own when I was about a 6 - year - old, and those husky bucks could throw a ball a quar ter of a mile for another redskin to catch in a net affair. Just who conceived the idea of pleasure with a ball, that has now become the source of princely salaries of the professionals? • • • A farmer has 8-or 10-thousand bushels of grain. That’s pretty wonderful. And then how to con vert it into cash. Southeastern Nebraska elevators are jammed to the roof with hundreds of thousands of bushels. When a car is available truck loads from the farms wait in line for a chance to unload. They may have to return to the farm with the load unsold. There is just more corn, wheat and oats down this way than the local markets can take care -of, the explanation being a shortage of railroad cars. A farm er informed me today that of his 10-thousand bushels of grain he has been able to market but two truck loads. His mother-in-law has a thousand bushels of share crop wheat on her farm but the elevators in five towns can’t take a bushel of it because they are filled up. More elevator room or more freight cars to haul the grain out is an imperative need to the marketing of the Nebras ka farmer’s grain production. A few truckers are coming in from Oklahoma for corn. * * • A farm couple who have a sizable flock of Rhode Island Reds counted the gathering of eggs for several days past and discovered they would have $90 worth when the egg buyer drove in at their place. Eggs were then near the dollar mark. By the time the buyer came around the egg market had split wide open. Thirty or 35-cents for eggs looks like a steal to poultry raisers now. An earlier generation got a nickel a bushel for their com and 3-cents a dozen for eggs — and they survived, paid for their land, maintained contented households and grumbled none about roads and taxes. • • • The public is led to wonder . what the tie might be that binds the chief executive to the secretary of state. • • • A church group honored 1950 as their holy year. For the world the year ends in bloodshed. Dis aster, national and international worries, revolting crimes, unrest and fear have about left us crazy as we enter another year. May the guiding hand of human des tiny see us safely anchored on pleasant, peaceful shores amid the floral bloom and fragrance of future days when man will con vert the sword into the plow share for a breathing spell. ( • • • Holiday greetings from many friends have been received. I should like to send a personal word to each one individually but probably they do not expect this. Soon after Christmas 1 shall take off for Burbank, Calif., where I expect to be in the home of my daughter during January and February, besides getting up and down the ocean - washed coast line to a limited extent.
