Pheasant Season to Open October 26 Visualized by countless thou sands but realized primarily by Nebraska's sporting populace is the state’s nationally known pheasant season which gets un derway Friday, October 26, si multaneously with the rising of the autumn sun. Although Holt county is closed to pheasant hunting this year, Boone county on the south, Mad ison and Pierce to the east, and the east half of Knox county to the east will be open to hunting, hunting. fcncouragea Dy iavorame pnea sant population reports, Nebras ka's vast array of hunting en thusiasts will take to the fields in pursuit of the attractive 5 bird bag limit. Possession limit is also 5 birds. Year after year, Nebraska has afforded its sportsmen with some of the finest pheasant hunting in the United States. One major con tributing factor in the perennial success is the protection of the hen pheasant. For this reason conservation officers will be very strict in enforcing the protection of hens. Hunters should be very care ful this season as the birds are late. Some cocks have not as yet fully feathered out. If you are unable to tell the sex of the bird, don’t take a chance of shooting a hen. And—if a hen is unavoid ably hit, do not pick it up. Leave it where it falls. Nebraska s pneasani crop ex pects to afford productive hunt ing for all. The pheasant popula tion is uniform throughout most of the open area. It will be to the hunter’s benefit to disperse as much as possible especially as they are away from traditionally hunted areas in which the popu lation may have been reduced by extremely heavy hunting pres sure in the past 5 years. Paul Gilbert, executive secre tary of the Game commission, ad vises sportsmen to hunt in smaller groups of 3 and 4 on each instead of the traditional group of anywhere from 6 to 12 or more men. A small group not only decreases the danger of accidents, but also reduces the hesitancy on the part of the farmer to grant them permission to hunt on his lands. Gilbert mentioned the follow ing reminders which will be pro fitable to heed: ..n • i n____l_ ot'iuic uuiniug un anj whether posted or not, first ask permission. Hunting on privately owned lands is a privilege, not a right. “Carry positive identification and your hunting permit. Con servation officers have been in structed to check identification of all sportsmen contacted in the fields. “According to the most recent state attorney general’s opinion, a shotgun is considered to be loaded when it has live cartridges or ammunition any place in the mechanism in a position from which the gun could be rendered capable of firing or discharging such amunition. Consequently, a shotgun with shells in either the chamber or magazine is consider ed loaded. “Don’t shoot from the public highway. It is illegal and all vio lators thereof will be prosecuted, i A public highway is considered to extend from fence line to fence line or property to property line. Shooting at game birds or game animals from any location between the above described boundaries is unlawful.” Athletic Group Holds Meeting Here A Holt County Athletic associa tion meeting was held at the O’ Neill public school on Tuesday, October 23. Representatives from Cham bers, Page, Inman, St. Mary’s and O’Neill were present. D. E. Nelson, superintendent of schools, O’Neill, was elected president; E. L. Eckdahl, super intendent of schools, Chambers, was elected vice-president. Tom Hutton, of Chambers high, was elected secretary-treasurer. Dates for the Holt county bas ketball tournament were set for the week of January 21-25. The site for the tournament will be determined by a referendum vote of all schools and will be an nounced later. Eagles Cop 21 -18 Thriller from Neligh Coach Marv Miller’s O’Neill high Eagles got sweet revenge from the Neligh Warriors Wed nesday night, October 25. In recent years the Warriors have held the edge on the Blues. Not so when the 1951 editions clashed on the Atkinson grid (the ?ame was transferred to Atkinson because Carney park here was a mudhole). Miller’s kids tallied in the first 5 minutes on a pass from Quar terback Davey Eby to Halfback Don Godel, who took the ball in the end zone. About 2 minutes later, Neligh marched down the field and sent Johnny Recroft across. O’Neill scored again in the 2d through the airlanes—Eby to Go lel. Godel’s fingertip catch was a storybook affair and nobody itood betwefen hiim and the end tone. Halftime score was 15-6. The Eagles’ 3d TD came in the Id period. O'Neill took over in Neligh territory after the War •iors had lost the ball on downs. A 11 points - after - touchdown vere scored on running plays by the Eagles. It was Recroft who dazzled for Neligh. setting up all 3 markers with brilliant, hard running. Wisch was credited with Neligh’s Id ringer. Neligh was on the march again when the game ended. A big crowd was on hand. Both Neligh and O’Neill were well rep resented. O’Neill comes into pos session of The Frontier - Neligh News travelling trophy, which each year is awarded to the vic tor in the ancient fued. Antelope Leases Net $4,845— Amount realized in bonus bids as the second auction of school land leases was held Thursday, October 18, at the courthouse in Neligh was $4,845.

The emigrants who went over Nebraska in covered wagons a :entury and (more ago read guide nooks and studied maps just as avidly as the tourists who speed ncross the state today. Such sources of information, however, vere by no means as readily nvailable to the early emigrants is to today’s traveller. The first complete description nf the route to California avail lble to the forty-niners was a ;uide book prepared by Joseph S. Ware, and published of St. L^nuis early in the year of the jreat gold rush. Ware’s book, ’The Emigrants’ Guide to Califor nia,” was based not on personal experience, for the author had not nade the journey, but was de lved largely from the reports of rohn C. Fremont, whose explora ions did so much to popularize he Platte Valley route to the vest. Ware gave detailed suggestions •egarding provisions needed, the nest method of organizing a :amp, and the best route to fol low. Particularly interesting is the medical advice he despensed. ne urged ms readers 10 avoid large quantities of medi cines, assuring them that if they kept clean by frequent bathing they would do more to ward off sickness than by quantities of pills. , Bathing, though, was not to be undertaken indiscriminately. The author’s instructions on this point are as curious as they are expli cit. “The best time for bathing,” he write, “is about 9 or 10 in the morning; you are then stronger than at any other time in the day. Heed not the coldness of the water if it is soft. After leaving the water, instantly commence the most active rubbing, with a coarse towel, until a reaction takes place in the skin; dress rapidly, drink a good draught of pure water, and commence a smart walk until perspiration en sues.” Later, Ware went out over the trail he had described, only to meet a tragic end long before reaching California. He was taken sick east of Ft. Laramie, and his companions, instead of providing him the protection he needed, barbarously laid him by the road side, without food or water, to die. He was found by another party, who took him to their camp and nursed him. He had suffered so much from exposure, though, that in 2 days he died. His guide book lived on after him, however. For a number of years Ware’s guide contiunued to be used by the overland emi grants, and generally was recog nized as one of the better ones. Then it became so scarce as to be listed as one of the 20 rar est books on California, and fi nally in 1932 it was reprinted by Princeton university press with a discriminating introduction b y John Walton Caughey. Wet Field Forces Cancellation— A water - logged grid Friday night forced cancellation of the St. Mary’s academy-Lynch high 6-man grid game scheduled for Carney park.
