Ft. Robinson Is in Demand
LINCOLN — Nebraskans this
week were doing some serious
thinking and planning on develop
ing recreation and park areas.
One proposed project under con
sideration is old Ft. Robinson near
Crawford in northwest Nebraska.
The other is in the Gavins Point
dam reservoir area on the Missouri
river in the northeastern part of
the state.
Eventually both projects might
involve action by the state legis
lature.
In this day and age recreation
areas for the leisure time of citi
zens are becoming increasingly
necessary. Nebraska, with a few of
the finest natural wonders and his
toric spots, has slumbered while
such nearby states as South Da
kota have attracted tourists and
their spending by the hundreds of
thousands.
For some time groups have been
advocating making a state park
out of Ft. Robinson. This 22,000
acre area, a former army post and
timber reserve, is now used as a
federal beef experiment station.
Seventeen states are involved
in the project although the Uni
versity of Nebraska college of
agriculture does the actual work.
Those who think its uses should
be wider point out that Ft. Robin
son played an important and color
ful part in the story of the Old
West, particularly in the Indian
wars. Here was located the Red
Cloud Indian Agency and here the
famous Sioux Indian chief, Crazy
Horse, was killed.
This area has some of the pret
tiest scenery in Nebraska and has
fine hunting and fishing areas.
But until recently little headway
has been made on changing it to
other uses than the beef project.
* * *
Differing Viewpoints—
Several contending forces have
been operating. The university
naturally wants to keep it as an
experiment station. Officials frown
on the idea of tourists, contending
‘‘people and controlled experiments
with animals don’t mix.”
Citizens in Crawford and the sur
rounding area would naturally like
something to build up their trade.
When the army closed the fort
several years ago, it left a gaping
economic hole for Crawford busi
nessmen.
Also some ranchers in that area
are antagonistic toward the pro
ject. They criticize the station for
raising ‘‘tax-free beef.” University
officials answer this by saying that
the work is being done for the long
range benefit of the cattlemen.
The state game commission has
wanted to establish recreation,
hunting, and fishing areas. Paul
Gilbert, executive secretary of the
commission, said he at one time
had hoped to have a herd of buf
falo there.
The State Historical society
wants to establish a museum
there, possibly reconstruct the
old Indian agency, and safeguard
the monuments and historic
spots.
These groups got together for a
recent meeting and it appeared
that they are much closer to agree
ment than before.
State Sen. Monroe Bixler of Har
rison said backers of the state
park idea have about given up the
idea of getting the federal govern
ment to sell the land. Best bet now
seems to be a long term lease, Bix
ler said.
University of Nebraska officials
said the number 1 consideration
must be that the beef experment
station will stay. But the Univer
sity has agreed to let the State
Historical society do some of tne
things it wants. Next step will be
fitting the state game commission
into the picture.
Gilbert said a survey could be
made for about $500. He thought
not more than 3,000 acres would
be needed.
Bixler said he hoped something
could be done soon so a bill could
be introduced in the coming ses
sion of the legislature.
* * •
Gavins Point—
In another comer of the state
citizens were mobilizing in a group
known as the Gavins Point Im
provement association. Purpose is
to get the federal government to
buy more land around the pro
posed Gavins Point reservoir so
the public can have fishing, hunt
ing and picnic areas.
Apparently the federal govern
ment has set a policy of buying as
little land as possible. The reason
given is economy.
But the association officials point
out that the dams were “sold” to
the general public on the idea they
would furnish recreation areas.
The association decided to try
to get the Eisenhower administra
tion to “soften” its policy. If this
doesn’t work, an effort will be
made in congress to get more
money appropriated.
All else failing, the group will
seek a state appropriation. State
Sen. Dwight Burney of Hartington,
whose district embraces the dam
area, said he would be “happy” to
back a bill to get state money to
buy the extra land.
* * *
Cannery Possibility—
Hope has been revived on a Ne
braska development of another
kind—a proposed cannery in the
Holdrege area.
The federal department of agri
culture has eliminated restrictions
on commercial vegetable planting,
thus clearing the way. If this
hadn’t been done, Nebraska farm
ers would have been unable to
raise commercial vegetables if
they wished to be eligible for price
supports on com or wheat.
* * •
Sufficiency Rating—
Gov-elect Victor Anderson said
he thinks there should be some
way to “appeal” from a sufficiency
rating given to any particular
stretch on the state highway
system.
The sufficiency rating is the
method of determining which roads
should be improved first. It takes
into account road condition, costs
of maintenance, safety factors, and
traffic volume.
Anderson said persons who dis
puted the state highway depart
ment’s ratings should have a right
to have a public hearing.
State Engineer L. N. Ress agreed
but said that since there is not
enough money to improve all the
roads that should be improved, it
is doubtful that even a substantial
change in a road’s rating would
put it on the program list any soon
er.
• • *
Mental Health—
The state board of control took
some more steps in its developing
mental health program. Dr. Cecil
Wittson of the Nebraska Psychi
atric Institute of Omaha was made
coordinator of all mental health
programs in the state. A Houston,
Tex., doctor, Jackson Smith, will
come to Nebraska after next July
1 to head up a program of research
in care of the mentally ill.
The board announced it will
build two new structures at the
Lincoln state mental hospital. One
will be for mental patients who
have tuberculosis. The other will
be for the criminally insane.
