Edward Hynes Going
onto Mother's Farm—
Sgt. 1/c Edward Hynes, son of
Mrs. Loretta Hynes, is expected
to reach O’Neill today (Thurs
day), having recently returned
from Korea and received a sep
aration from the army. Sergeant
Hynes enlisted three years ago
and spent about a year in Korea
in army intelligence.
He and his wife, Iryl Ann,
and their daughter, Susan, will
make their home on his motn
er’s farm, which has been occu
pied by John Donlin.
Tune in “Voice of The Fron
tier," thrice weekly.
Just how much effect all this
"Operation Honesty” talk will
have toward personal tax sched
ules filed in Holt county will be
determined beginning Wednes
day, March 10.
Filled with Gov. Robert Cros
by’s plea for honest tax returns,
state officials are holding their
breath in the hopes the honesty
plan has been instilled in all
Nebraskans.
Taxpayers take the follow
ing oath when they sign their
personal tax schedule:
I. the undersigned, being
duly sworn, say that the fore
going statement and schedule
is true and contains a full and
complete list of all property
held by or belonging to me on
March 10. Such property has
been fully and fairly describ
ed and its true condition repre
sented, and I have in no case
sought to misrepresent the
quantity or quality of the
property. I further • swear that
my answers to the following
interrogations are true, so
help me God.
Signed -ui
William F. Wefso is Holt as
sessor.
The 1954 individual persona)
property assessment schedule
should induce more complete
returns.
The schedule is far more exact
ing than last year’s form.
For instance, under household
items, which were formerly
lumped into one figure, a prop
erty owner must list all pictures,
mirrors, silverware, waffle irons,
work tables, coffee makers, book
cases and draperies, in addition
to more bulky items, such as
pianos, sewing machines and
nearly every other describable
home furnishing.
County assessors have descrip
tion lists for furniture. A $200
exemption is still allowed on
all household goods.
A more complete listing of
lawn and garden tools and recre
tion equipment is also requested.
Nebraskans may file the return
from March 10 to April 20 with
out penalty. A 50 percent penalty
may be applied for late returns
or failure to list items.
It is pointed out that failure
to receive a personal tax sched
ule does not relieve the taxpayer
from the responsibility of filing
a tax schedule.
Taxpayers are urged to read

Gold Range, Inc., j
Mill Is Ready!
The fable - like story of Gold
Range, Inc., has reached another
milestone. An old- dilapidated
mill has been transformed into
a modem mill and is all set this
week to start separating the
j precious metals into concen
trates in tiny Ward, Colo.
The success of Gold Range has
special interest in O’Neill be
cause Paul S. Elam, president of
the corporation and one of the
partners, is the son-in-law of
Mr. and Mrs. Victor Halva of
O’Neill and Elam is well-known
here.
Elam’s partner, Harold Easter -
day, a colorful prospector, struck
a rich gold vein last year. The
two founded Gold Range, Inc,
bought up 55 abandoned mining
properties in the region, and j
started to put men and machines
to work. The tiny village (in its
heyday a town of 2,200 people)
had dwindled to eight. Now it's
booming.
At the invitation of Elam and
Easterday, Carroll W. (‘“Cal”)
Stewart, editor of The Frontier,
and Joe Biglin, engineer for the
“Voice of The Frontier,” spent
Saturday in the mines and mill,
and reported the details to
"Voice of The Frontier” listen
ers.
Gold Range, Inc., is controlled
and dominated by Elam, Easter
day, their families, key mining
and mill personnel. The Denver
Post in December variously esti
mated the new mining field
worth possibly one or two bil
lion dollars if all goes well.
Besides Easterday’s historic
strike, one of the richest in Col
orado history, the other mines
being opened up are yielding
precious ore, including uranium.

Ike to Signal Start of Randall Power
Ress Says
Highways
Stay If
Parallel Parking and
Street Widening Can
Keep 20 Thru City
State Highway Engineer L. N.
Ress and District Engineer J. M
Crook met Wednesday with the
O’Neill city counciL
Present routes of U.S. high
ways 20 and 275 through the
city and proposed bypass and
alternate routes were studied on
the scene.
Without benefit of formal
surveys and cost estimates,
Mr. Ress advised the council
the federal highways would
be kept along their present
routes provided;
1. A sweeping curve could be
built in West O'Neill, which
would result in considerable
damage at the J. Ed Hancock
residence, Marcellus Implement
store, Earley Oil company and
Slat’s cafe.
2. Douglas street (O’Neill’s
main east-west thoroughfare) is
widened to 69 feet from the
Earley corner eastward to Sev
enth street (except for the
downtown district where the
width already is 69 feet); also
some sidewalk adjustments
would have to be made, particu
larly on the north side of the
street in the downtown district.
3. Parallel parking be inaug
urated from the Earley corner
eastward to Seventh street.
4. All parking be banned on
Douglas street between Seventh
and Tenth, in which event no
street-widening would be neces
sary in those blocks at the pres
ent time.
5. Obstructions such as the
Lohaus Motor company canopy
and fuel pumps and Arbuthnot
Oil company canopy and fuel
pumps would have to be re
moved, and the New Deal Oil
company could be confined to
“inside lane” service on “inside”
pumps. (He said possibly there
are other obstructions to a four
lane highway which will not be
determined until a survey is
completed, including many of
the white way light poles which
were erected three years ago.
This was interpreted as mean
ing some of the poles would
have to be setback from the
street.)
6. Fourth street between the
railroad tracks and the Douglas
street intersection would need
only minor changes to accom
modate north-south traffic on
U.S. highway 281. Ress said the
minimum width needs to be 48
feet and parallel parking would
be required at the present time.
7. All parking of wide trucks
would be banned from the high
way routes.
Mr. Ress said he would re
turn to Lincoln and setforth
the requirements, outlined or
ally, in a letter. He said he
would direct the letter to May
or J. E. Davis "within the
next few adys.
Mr. Ress said he would give
the city 30 days in which to
make its desires known. The
plans for bypassing the city
limits on the east and north
with U.S. highway 20, and the

Sailor’s Identity
$106,000 Question
One-Eighth Interest in
Hotel Awaits
The Associated Press was cir
culating a story Wednesday con
cerning a windfall in the amount
of 100-thousand-dollars awaiting
a certain Navy BM. William Ca
beca, whose father, William Ca
beca, sr., is said to be living at
O’Neill.
The story originated in Miami,
Fla., where the sailor’s great-un
cle, the late Anton Cabeca, has
died, leaving an estate consist
ing of an 800-thousand-dollar
resort hotel. The hotel man ap
parently left his estate to eight
great-nephews, several of wnoru
he had never seen. Each was to
receive one-eighth interest.
The Frontier received an in
quiry from the news service
concerning the sailor’s father,
but was unsuccessful in locating
anyone who knew a William
Cabeca, much less the lucky
sailor boy with a tidy 100-G’s
to look after.
Apparently, it will become
necessary for the heirs to go to
Miami to claim the inheritance,
and could mean that the navy
laddie will be in the gravy if
he has an understanding com
manding officer.
The news services working
with The Frontier did not indi
cate whether a check of navy
personnel records had been
made, or whether the O’Neill
address had been a temporary
one for the father a number of
years ago. Neither did The Fron
tier learn when the will had
been drawn.
The Frontier supplied names
to the news agencies that bore a
phonetic resemblance to Cabeca,
but they didn’t fit.
Packing Plant
Engineers Coming
Kauczor Firm Will
Speed Plans
The Chamber of Commerce in
regular monthly session Monday
evening learned the Kauczor
Packing company of Chicago,
111., is progressing with plans to
construct a meat packing plant
here .
James W. Rooney, chairman
of the Chamber’s new industries
committee, told the civic group
that engineers and architects
would be on the scene in a few
days to make studies and to con
tact builders preliminary to ask
ing for bids. The city of O’Neill
a month ago supplied the Kauc
zor firm with elevations, sew
age, water, power and natural
gas information relative to sev
eral proposed plant locations.
The Kauczor firm, having
selected O'Neill as the site of
a new plant in an expansion
program, wants to speed along
its plans.
Don Petersen, first vice-pres
ident, presided at the meeting
in the absence of the president,
G. C. DeBacker, who is in Chi
cago. A. P. Jaszkowiak told of
park benches under construction
for use in Ford’s park near the
swimming pool. Benches will be
“sold” to firms at belpw cost—
$10 each. There was discussion
of the forthcoming brochure on
which printing bids are now be
ing accepted.
A U.S. Highway 20 association
meeting, involving members
from Nebraska cities and towns,
will be held in O’Neill on Sun
day, March 28, starting at 1:30
p.m., in the Knights of Colum
bus hall.

‘Start Weaning' Mitchell's Advice
A greying, mild-mannered fel
low wearing a blue necktie and
a bluish suit, for more than an
hour Tuesday addressed a
crowd of 350 persons at the Am
erican Legion auditorium here.
Everett Mitchell, nationally-fa
mous farm radio reporter, took
his audience on a globe-trotting
tour which was entitled, “Grass
Roots Ambassadors.”
His talk concerned the role of
L.S. youths in foreign exchange
fields and Mr. Mitchell graphic
ally described economic and so
i^c.al conditions in all the coun
tries he visited.
Mr. Mitchell has been the
National Broadcasting com
pany's farm reporter for 27
years and his name is a house
hold word because of his
program. "National Farm and
Home Hour."
The conservation theme and
the role of women in foreign
countries were incorporated in
his whirlwind global report,
which kept the audience inter
ested and entertained through
out. In some of the countries
women are relegated to the role
of beast of burden, he said.
Mitchell said India gave him
“mental indigestion.” Nothing
has been put back into the soil
there for centuries. It is “legal
to steal” and the average fam
ily counts 15 persons, 97 percent
of whom are illiterate.
India, Mitchell added, is a
country of “desolation and hun
ger.” Any Christian missionary
sent to India by any church is
a “real saint,” he declared.
Communists there told natives
Mitchell had no film in his cam
eras.
The radio personality told the
audience, composed of persons
who had gathered for the an
nual joint meeting of the Holt
8 Volunteer for
Military Service
Eight Holt county selective
service registrants have volun
tered for military duty through
the draft office here, according
to Mrs. W. H. Harty, chief clerk
The volunteers left O’Neill
Wednesday morning. They are:
John H. Dobrovolny, Bruce
W. Richardson and Charles M.
Hamik, all of Atkinson; Lyle R.
Tucker, Richard D. Kallhoff and
Melvin L. Pruden, all of Ewing;
James J Friedel of Stuart and
Calvin E. Coolidge of Amelia.
3 Eligible for
O’Neill Postoffice
Three men are on the eligibili
ty list in connection with the
postmaster vacancy at O’Neill.
They are Jack Arbuthnot,
veteran service station operator:
Ira H. Moss, clerk of Holt coun
ty district court, and Laurence
Haynes, American Legion club
manager and secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Moss is a veteran of World
War I; Arbuthnot and Haynes
are veterans of World War II.
The job has been vacant for
two years. Thomas Sullivan
served more than a year as act
ing postmaster, following the re
tirement of Mrs. Agnes Sullivan.
Mrs. Thomas (Helen) Sullivan
presently is acting postmaster.
County Soil Conservation dis
trict and Holt County Extension
service, “No matter whether you
agree or not with General Mae
Arthur’s political ideas, you
can’t take away from him the
love of America he has left be
hind in Japan.”
The Japanese have the notion
Americans can do anything. He
dramatized an incident in which
Mr. Mitchell was called upon to
draw milk from a sad cow. The
Nippon, however, was proud of
the critter and of her milk-pro
d u c i n g ability, proclaiming:
‘Some days she do!”
Mitchell brought down the
house repeatedly in a yarn
about his Japan bath and slid
ing doors.
“Americans have built for It
aly the most beautiful railroad
station in the world,” the globe
trotting Chicagoan told his lis
teners. “You should be proud
of yourselves,” he added rather
caustically.
“Don’t expect much of the
Italians in a world crisis. They’ll
go which ever way the wind
blows.”
'The American “grassrooters”
and other workers abroad should
be complimented, Mitchell de
clared, because their problems
are very difficult.
The radio man’s recommenda
tions are relatively simple: Give
our overseas friends tools, give
them seed and give them know
how.
"Foreigners have a lot of
misconceptions about us sup
porting the rest of the world.
It's time for us to start wean
ing them. We can't go on for
ever supporting the rest of the
world."
Of Ireland, Mr. Mitchell insists
that all the songs written by
bards and poems by poets

Succumbs in West
O’Neill Resident 15
Year Long 111
Mrs. Joe Greitens, 42, of Los
Angeles, Calif., formerly of O’
Neill, died last Thursday in Los
Angeles, Calif.
Her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
George Martens, and her aunt,
Mrs. Rosa Martens, all of Tilden,
left Friday by plane to attend
the funeral.
Mr. Greitens was employed at
Shelhamer Foods for almost 15
years, leaving O’Neill last fall.
The couple resided several
months at Tilden before contin
uing on to California to estab
lish their home.
The late Bertha Martens was
bom at Tilden and graduated
from high school there. Burial
was in California.
Survivors include Wdowei;
parents— Mr. and Mrs. Geoige
Martens o; Tilden; three sisteis,
residing in California.
Wally Shellhammer
Coming Home—
A/2c Wally Shellhammer has
received a promotion and was
supposed to have left Korea on
Tuesday to sail for the U.S.
Ed Wilson, Carroll O’Neill and
Vem Sageser left Sunday to
attend a two-day state REA con
vention in Lincoln.
“don’t describe the true lov -li
ness of the Emerald isle. It was
early one1 bright sunny morning
when our airplane touched down
in Ireland, vegetation was green
as green could be, and I cannot
describe the beauty.”
Mitchell labeled the Scottish
people as “wonderful.” He told
an anecdote about an American
teenage girl staying with a Scotch
family on the exchange basis.
The girl gave heated arguments
to the stern master of the house,
who was an Aberdeen-Angus
breeder.
The girl came from a midwest
Hereford farm and the old Sjits ■
man, unaccustomed to debating
with women on the merits of
cattle, admitted to Mitchell the
girl was capable of carrying out
forever the friendly feud be
tween the two.
Mr. Mitchell’s talk also in
volved Germans, English, North
Africans, and others.
He stressed how thankful Am
ericans should be they are liv
ing in a Christian country, and
that human life has a high value
here compared to some coun
tries. He also described rural life
and rural rearing as “purify
ing,” declaring that social life
would “crumble and die” with
out the purifying effect from
folks raised on the soil.
Mr. Mitchell praised the work
of 4-H clubs throughout his
travels, also the work of the ex
change youths.
In one country he was asked
why 50 or 100 exchange students
couldn’t be sent instead of five.

Electric power from the huge
Ft. Randall, S.D., dam project
will start coming into Nebraska
via O’Neill on Monday, March
15, it has been announced by the
bureau of reclamation.
The power will be delivered
to O’Neill and will primarily
“dump energy” of nearly 20
thousand-kilowatts. This will be
a temporary quota.
A telephonic signal originating
in the white house in Washing
ton, D.C., will start the flow of
curent from Randall’s big hydro
generators. President Dwight
Eisenhower will press a button
that will start Randall electric
energy surging from the new
hydro plant into vast power net
works.
Gov. Sigurd Anderson of
South Dakota, reclamation of
ficials and U.S. army cngi -
neers are making plans ior
the ceremonies, which will be
witnessed by only two hun
dred persons on an invitation
al basis.
Power has been flowing from
O’Neill’s strategic facilities to
Randall during the past two
years of construction activity at
the dam site. The high tension
transmission lines will be in a
new role next week, current
surging in the opposite direction.
Tentative plans call for doubl
ing the “dump” into the Ne
braska public power network at
a later date, possibly 40-thou
sand kilowatt hours.
C. E. A. Johnson, manager of
the 13-county O’Neill head
quarters for Consumers Public
Power district, said Wednesday
the energizing of Randall means
another source of power for Ne
braska.
"In this part of the state," he
addedi "power consumption
has been mounting rapidly and
there has been a shortage of
energy in this area, particu
larly during the peak periodE.”
By entering the Nebraska
power system at O’Neill, the
Randall energy can be directed
three different directions.
The multimillion dollar Ran
dall project, designed to serve
Missouri river basin needs win
flood control, power production
and recreational facilities, has
been a magnet for sightseeis
from this region since 194.6 when
the project was in the ‘survey
stage.
Randall, one of the biggest
dams of its type in the world,
is situated about 43 airline miles
north and slightly east from O'.
Neill. The nearest Nebraska
point is Gross.
By 1956, seven more generat
ors will be added to the circuits,
capable of delivering a total of
320 - thousand - kilowatts. The
additional power blocks of 40
thousand - kilowatts each will
come on the line at four month
intervals. Randall power will be
absorbed on a big scale within
South Dakota, with some of the
output assigned to other nearby
states, including Nebraska.
Ft. Randall dam, dedicated on
a hot July 31, 1946, will be the
first of the mainstem dams au
thorized under the flood control
act of 1944. Cost when complet
ed is estimated at $198,485,000.
fhe dam is now 75 percent com
plete.
