Prairieland Talk
"O'Neill's Many Hotels"
By ROM AIN E SAUNDERS, 411) South 51st St., Lincoln 6, Nebr.
It was a great day some 50 years ago when
the Golden Hotel ripened for business. A fine modem
building on the comer where from early times Pat
Hagerty's trading post had stood. The late T. V.
Golden was the promoter and
builder of the hotel that bears
his name. I see today on mem
ory’s tablet Mr. Golden down,
in the underground where his
new building was going up feel
ing the graveled sand if it would
:lo for mixing the concrete. Mr.
and Mrs. Wes Evans who had
for some years operated Hotel
Evans were the first to operate
the new hotel. They server! p_
meals as well as putting you
to bed at night. Now no meals SMialeM
at the Golden but a good bed to crawl into. Begin
ning with the Valley House operated by the O’Don
nells many years ago I count eight hotels before
the Golden got going. Two of these are here today,
one on South Fourth street that has been at it 70
years or more, and the Western, formerly Hotel
Evans. And traveling the highways today you can
hole up at night at a roadside sleeping place.

An English Prince and his sweetheart are com
ing to the United States on a visit. Our Governor
has invited the British Lord and Lady to set foot
upon green robed Prairieland. Should the English
Lord and Lady do so may I suggest that Rancher
Tom Baker down by Amelia, he a native of old
England, invite his two distinguished countrymen
to the Baker ranch home where they may see one
from their home land making a go of it in the
purebred cattle business here in Prairieland’s great
cattle region of southwest Holt county.

Another Father’s Day has come and gone. With
the greetings that came again to the dads through
out the land were many cherished memories of
days now gone. Father — there would be no son,
no daughter were it not for the fathers out across
Prairieland. Are you one of them? Well, behave
yourself and may you survive to another f ather s
Day.

Atkinson Hay Days — have they been again
for another season? Years have come and gone since
Prairieland Talker was a viewer of the Hay Day
sports, an entertainment worth going miles to see.
No doubt Postmaster Miller, Banker Adams, Editor
Kelly and the others have kept the eye of all in
the country about on Atkinson’s fun making another
summer time.
School bells silent for the summer. Vacation
time — Jim and Joe and Mary and Ann are not
off to school in the morning but maybe off to the
day’s work to make a little money. What may my
charming young friend Trudy out there in the de
lightful Eagle creek country be up to this summer
vacation time -helping about the home, then mounts
her pony and lopes across the land, and maybe as
this is written the young lady is down at the creek
catching a mess of fish. My lovely granddaughter
here in Lincoln has a job for the summer that will
make her money to rig her up for another school
year. And what is teacher doing, just resting up?

The building still stands at Fourth and Douglas
street, the town's first pile of brick where Dave
Darr and Dave Adams cashed our checks until
they were out of money. The basement of that
building where Doc Mathews started his second
newspaper, the Free Press, after retiring from the
Frontier; that upper room in that Holt County Bank
building where Judge Kinkaid lived and slept and
UUWil 111 LI It A * Vt A n-o.1 V >-V v,v
King completed his apprenticeship as a printer;
and that little room with a side entrance that was
Dr. Gilligan’s first hangout in O’Neill. And those
outside steps at the bank door where on calm
summer evenings Clint Lowrie and I sat to watch
the passing ladies and gents. On my next visit to
O’Neill I will knock off the comer of a brick on
that old building and pocket that bit of brick to
cherish for the rest of my days in memory of days
now long gone.
* * *
They call it a rodeo, two or three days once a
year guys on horses trained to do the bucking
bronco act. Years ago we had the real thing when
herds of wild horses were in that corral back of
Ward’s barn. Jake Hershiser, Bob Ingersol, Ike
Smith, Hay McClure, Pete Saunders each astride
a wild and bucking nag along the business streets
and one at times head for the glass front of a
business place and Kate Mann jumped and ran
to escape the flying glass as bronc and his rider
plunged into the glass front. Rodeo, a tame affair
today.
* * *
So our Capital City has become a great educa
tional center. I met him some time ago, a citizen
of distant eastern Canada in Lincoln a student at
our State University. Others I meet on rare occas
ions who come from other states or distant lands
to go to college in our Capital City.

It is reported that 99,000 citizens of Lincoln
turned out on a recent Sunday to get a handful
of that polio dope that was being distributed.
Editorial
When It Rains It Pours
The Enterprise, Blair
Every newspaper editor knows what can happen
by twisting words, mispelling and re-writing. Like
punctures, which always seem to come in three’s,
the explanation of one mistake frequently paves
the way for another.
In North Carolina recently, a small daily ran
an ad regarding a sewing machine. Here it is and
this is how it turned out:
Monday: "FOR SALE: R. D. Smith has one
sewing machine for sale. Phone 958.
Call after 7 p.m. and ask for Mrs.
Kelly who lives with him cheap.”
Tuesday: "We regret having erred in R. D.
Smith’s ad yesterday. It should have
read: FOR SALE: R. D. Smith has one
sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone
958 and ask for Mrs. Kelly who lives
with him after 7 p.m.”
Wednesday : "R. D. Smith has informed us that he
has received several annoying tele
phone calls because of an error we
made in his classified ad yesterday.
His ad stands corrected: FOR SALE:
R. D. Smith has one sewing machine
for sale. Cheap. Phone 958 after 7 p.m.
and ask for Mrs. Kelly who loves with
him.”
Thursday: “NOTICE: I, R. D. Smith, have no
sewing machine for sale. I smashed it.
Don’t call 958, the phone has been taken
out. I have not been carrying on with
Mrs. Kelly. Until yesterday, she was
And then there was the want-ad which read like this:
• FOR SALE: The ladies of the First Presbyterian
Church have discarded clothing of all kinds. They
may be seen in the Church basement any day after
six o’clock.”
The Farm Bill
Well, the farm bill expired at the hands of both
Repuplicans and Democrats. It may have been an
honest attempt to help agriculture but certain parts
of it were obnoxious to the American farmer, who
feels unfettered dignity in his association with the
soil and his obligation to the people who need food.
There are some who remember a poem in the
fifth reader of long ago, written by Edward Mark
ham. It was called "The Man With a Hoe". That
man was probably the farmer of his day and a
more horrendous creature it would be hard to im
agine. Here are ust a few of the lumps that Mark
ham delat that tiller of the soil in 1859:
"Bowed with the weight of centuries he leant
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground
What made him dead to rapture and despair
A thing that grieves not and never hopes
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox.
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light within this brain?”
Poor old farmer! But also poor, foolish bureau
crat who still cherishes this picture of him for he
will surely run into trouble in framing a bill to fit
the farmer of this day and age who is neither
“stolid" nor “stunned” and who refuses the polit
ical breath that would “blow out the light within
his brain”.
Today’s farmer is a highly skilled, intelligent
technician and in the most important industry in
the world — a world in fact where a great per
centage of the people are always hungry and disease
ridden.
We can think of no more inspiring thing than for
these men to be turned loose to feed the world.
If a farm bill could be offered with a promise to
distribute food to the people of the world who are
so in need of it instead of money which the people
never see, it would pass by world consent and with
God's blessing.

VIRGINIA, MINN., MESABI DAILY NEWS:
"Everybody — including the wild liberals — know
that giving away the nation's patrimony, paying out
more than is warranted by productivity and all of
the devices which provide government handouts
must sooner or later be halted, or catastrophe will
engulf America. It is only because the many have
been thrifty and saving that it can go on at all.”
BETHEL, ME., CITIZEN: "Tax experts reveal
that if Uncle Sam seized all individual income over
$25,000 a year, it would run the government not
quite 3 days. If he confiscated all income over
$10,000 a year, it would carry the government only
18 V2 days. Lincoln said that God must have loved
the poor people, he made so many of them. By
the same token, you can't run the government on
the rich, there are so few of them.
PALMER. ALAS., THE FRONTIERSMAN: "It
is not a nleasant snhiect to talk about continual
erosion of the dollar, and to think that the great
country we live in, abundant in raw materials and
natural resources . • . would find itself in the
monetary mess that looms on the horizon. How long
will the American public be fooled?”
PRENTISS, MISS., HEADLIGHT: “We see
where a Muskogee County, Oklahoma, judge has
decided to retire because of welfare abuses. Judge
J. F. Beavers, ‘sick and tired of welfare abuses 1
have seen reflected in my court’ was especially
critical of aid-to-dependent-children cases in which
he said mothers of illegitimate children are ‘re
warded for their promiscuity.’ Said Judge Beavers,
‘these mothers were not interested in anything bu1
getting on the relief roll . . . once someone gets or
the relief roll, he or she never gets off. My phil
osophy of life doesn’t go along with this “give-away”
trend of the times, so I felt it was time for me tc
leave public life.’
"Wouldn't it be a big help in this day of social
ism and give-away if more people shared Judge
Beavers’ views?”
