C&NW Finally Gets
Commission's Okay
But Two Trains Were
Stopped in July
The Nebraska state railway
commission Tuesday authorized
the Chicago & North Western
railway to drop trains 13 and 14
between Omaha and Chadron fol
lowing receipt of a supreme court
mandate effective September 29
Effect of the action is to settle
a long drawn out controversy over
a contempt action brought origi
nally by Save the* Trains associa
tion against the railroad for re
moving the trains, the last two
passenger trains liotween Omaha
ind Chadron, July 7.
The action justifies the rail
road's action in dropping the
trains when it did, and throws
out a motion for rehearing of the
case filed by the association
Save the Trains contended the
railway took upon itself the high
court’s power in not waiting for u
mandate to withdraw the trains.
The* railroad maintained there
was no Nebraska statute covering
its action, only a long standing
rule observed by all parties in
volved in such actions.
Last July 3, the supreme court
reversed a March order of the
railway commission which gave
Save the Trains a rehearing of a
February 7 commission order per
mitting the railroad to drop the
truins.
Still pending In the case is an
other separate action in which
Save-the-Trains has appealed a
contempt action brought original
ly in district court in Omaha.
The Newfiort Telephone com
pany, Newport, secured commis
sion authority to make revisions
in its tariffs covering hours of
services, effective last Saturday
The KBR Rural Public Power
district of Ainsworth won com
mission authority to construct an
electric transmission line in
Brown county.

"Les Lamason, Ben Lamason,
Elmer Tavener’s parents used to
join us in some of these gather

The scene has been enlarged
and framed. It was a postcard
size best-seller in the days when
scenic post cards were sold at the

Along with the picture of the
Elkhom, Mrs. Lindberg gives us
a glimpse of family life as lived
beside the stream in an era and
a manner that has now become
history.
Not much of nature missed the
eye of the poetic scribe as the

in the pattern of that yesteryear
the socalled "good old days.”

Silvery Elkhorn
Photo Identified

Special Correspondent
In The Frontier last spring a
picture of the Elkhorn river with 1
.. man and a boat had us all won- j
dering just where the picture was
i iken and who the man was?
it was an old-fashioned picture
with an ornate border. It had an
] accompanying story, picturesque j
| language written by a poet who
truly gave a remarkable history
of the river and the country
j through which it flowed.
After carefully checking with '
members of her family to be sure !
of her facts, Mrs. Fred W. Lind
berg of Anncar route, O'Neill
sent me the following informa
tion. I
She says: “The picture was
taken on our home place by the |
ford. Our house was located about
16 nxis northeast of the picture, j
"My father, William A. Gan
non, bought this 320-acre farm /
from Frank Conrad of Inman. We '
moved there from Wisner in 1900. ,
After the death of our parents, t
the estate was held by heirs, then
sold to Mrs. Grace Briggs of In- j I
man. The present owner is Mrs. j
Elsie Briggs Knowles, who is I |
now occupying the farmstead
“There were five girls and one ( I
hoy in our family. Three of my
sisters were school teachers in |
Los Angeles, Calif. Edna and
Rena taught as long as their
health would permit. They are
now deceased. Helen is still teach
ing and is near retirement. 1
“Bertha and Blanche (myself)
took up nurse’s training. She is I
still caring for several patients in
California.
“I was graduated from Wise
hospital in Omaha. We raised five
girls I am inclined to believe
the man in the boat was with the
photographer.
“I can recall many Sunday

Breakfast Break For Mom
in.....
Want to speed and simplify breakfast preparation and clean-up?
Here’s how many working mothers are now doing it.
Following the after-dinner clean-up, many capable homemakers
who must conserve every moment in the morning set the electric
coffee-maker and prepare fruit juice for breakfast. With a tight lid
on the container and proper refrigeration, there is almost no loss
of vitamin C when juice is prepared in advance. Before going to
lied at night the table is set with paper cups, paper dishes, paper
plates, paper place mats and paper napkins and a cereal bar is
set up where each member of the fafnily can pick up his own
package. .
In the morning a goodlv quantity of toast for a large family can
be made all at once under the broiler while top-cf-the-stove cooking
is in progress. And an easy breakfast trick that is sure to be pop
ular is the cereal and egg combination pictured above. The recipe
is sinmle, hut if your fnr"’v 1 's gourmet tastes, you can add some
herbs to 'the cereal while or a few chopped chives to the
eggs.
F-"T and C '-l f.ramble
4 tablespoons .-aid - -r t'eggs, si htly beaten
margarine ■' ; blespoons water or milk
1-114 cups rice or wl cat 1 aspoon salt
cereal squares l. s teaspoon pepper
Heat butter in skillet. Add v ’ ounces and turn with fork until
li v browned. Remove fri m id keep warm. If necessary,
add a small amount of extra butler. M . eg s, water, salt and pepper.
Pour into heated skillet and co stirring from bottom of skillet
until just set Makes 4 to 6 servings.
One suburban working mother s i s that as she clears the table
and disposes of the paper item, wi ii one link of the wrist, she
gleefully recalls nil the egg-c< .tod pl.ues she doesn’t have to wash.
A quick scalding of the c* ■ '.’-maker, a whisking of the flat silver,
and she is off to catch the 8:05 to her job in New York, confident
of a well-fed family and a spotless kitchen.
