OLSON Supi., State Historical Society Among the interesting historic sites in Nebraska is that of the old Pawnee mission, located on Plum Creek near where it emp ties into the Loup river, and not far from the present town of Ful lerton. The mission was establish ed in 1841 and abandoned in 1846 as a result of raids by the Da kotas. During those few years, the missionaries stationed there ex perimented with the agriculture possibilities of the region and made some small progress in the religious and intellectual instruc tion of the Indians with whom they were associated. On the whole, though, they seem to have had a discouraging experi ence. Some of their letters are published in volume 14 of the Col.ections of the Kansas State Historical society, and from them we are able to glean a picture of life at this isolated Nebraska mission. Principal figures at the mis sion were John Dunbar and Sam I uel Allis, Presbyterians, who had come to the Nebraska country in 1834 and who had spent much time wandering with the Paw nees, accompanying them on their hunts and living as one of them. After this wandering life, they were much gratified at the op portunity of establishing a per manent mission. Such gratifica tion made its abandonment all the more difficult to bear. The missionaries arrived at their new home, May 17, 1841. Writing on July 31, Dunbar stat ed: •‘The crop now appears prom ising. Our gardens are doing well, when the lateness of the season at which they were plant ed and that the land had not be fore been cultivated are taken into account. This is a fine corn country and I know not why wheat may not be cultivated to advantage . . . the soil is very mellow and may be easily plow ed with one yoke of oxen or dug up with the hoe and when pro perly tended produce an excel lent crop of corn, pumpkins, mel ons, etc. — just the thing for Indians.” Allis, writing in September, was of the same opinion! "The country here is quite healthy, the soil productive. Our corn, and most of our garden vege tables look well and promise a good crop." The appearance of warlike Da kotas in June, 1846, abrifptly | terminated the life of the mis sion. As Dunbar wrote from Bellevue, whither the missionar ies had gone, “The person in the employ of government unani mously decided to leave the country as soon as might be after this second visit of the Sioux. This decision was communicat ed to the Mission and we soon came to the same conclusion.” Oppose Curtailment of Rail Service NIOBRARA — The Niobrara Community club sponsored a spe cial railroad meeting at the ZCBJ hall Friday evening. Del egations from all towns on the C&NW railway Norfolk-Winner line were invited to meet and formulate plans in defense of continuing daily passenger ser vice. Nine of the 16 towns along this line were represented. One delegate was elected to represent each of these to form a committee which will draw up plans for the hearing to be held at Norfolk.

The committee will meet Fri day evening at the Niobrara town i hall to consider what further ac tion is to be taken. Pledges were obtained for funds to finance the fight. The towns not represented at the meeting will be asked to Join. Chairman Warren called for a discussion on “how and why we should keep the service.” Such facts as that at times when the roads are bad the railroad is the only thing that keeps some of 1 the towns west of Niobrara from being isolated and that it is of great importance as a mail car i I rier, were brought out. It was pointed out that if bet ter service would be given by the railroad better returns would re sult. All towns represented went on record as unanimously opposing curtailment of passenger service on this line. After the meeting the Community club sponsored a | lunch at the Diez cafe.
