RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF
First Impressions
Preliminary to my arrival in Red
Cloud last week I had to leave home,
in incident commonplace nnd trivial,
to road, hut by no means amusing or
of little moment when it is considered
that for sixteen jcars I hud dwelt in
the one losting place and within it
there had grown up, nnd nccunuihilcd,
everything that the wonl home im
plies. I'.y team ami by tail, through mud
and inin and cold, I tiavclod for
twenty-three long, diemy horns, sad
dened with thought of leaving home,
wife, childten and filled with anxiety
as to what might he at my journey's
end. "Prospects bright, come quick,"
was all the information l had
as to "Quig's" condition, and you
know, dear loader, that "bright pros
pects have a trick of fading .suddenly.
Of sleep I caught a more trifle, and
clo?c connections at transfer points
gave me just time to sample coffee
and sandwiches along the lino.
Did you over happen to obtain
offee at tho railioad lunch counter in
Hastings? If so you can imagine mc
up against it, the lunch counter, so
filled with hitter anxiety that 1
couldn't got away with a cup of cof
fee after I had bought and paid for it.
I would almost bet that cup of coffee
is there yet standing alone by means
of inherent strength.
Tho?e items I have put into this re
nd that you may realize something
of tho mood in which I landed at the
'.epot hio and received my fiist im-
rrriion.! of Red Cloud.
hi ". -piito a sn.all boy at home
ri iv!m on.v ttattod on a trip to
v Pacific coat. Some das later
.eviived a telegram dated at
ManJii'd, Ohio sntng, "Am coming
fcueic, too far oit west nowl" Many a
imo sii.ee we laughed about it, bul
I can now sympathise with diar tlad
away from hij family and lonoroinc.
Since hia time "out west" has out
grown ohort pants and assumed a
jarb groat in both breadth and length.
Long ago I learned that a large
oortlon of tho United Slates lies west
of the Il6don river hut not until last
week was I cognizant of the fact Ilia.
N'ebiaska occupies so much of it.
Vnstiusfi is tho first impression, riding
across "a di.-k of eailh b'luath a cup
of sky" the soiieo of expanse is c::
niliiating, opportunity lies at hand on
every side bidding tho newcomer wel
come.
If Now Yoik city had bton built out
.n this country there would have been
no Flatiron building towering to the
sky or streets shut in so deep that
sunshine scarcely reaches the pave
ments. This thought seemed exom
plified in your eapitol city, the home
i a ence lowly man who rose to grcr.'.
rioights politically. I wonder if he has
forgotten when in his early caicer lie
had to remain in an eastern hotel
room while he sent out his only pair
of pants to be mended of a rip. The
more honor for that! He is but
another example of what Nebraska
does for her earnest honest citizens
So, as I came onward, I pictured to
myself Red Cloud, not so large, but,
as it were, a sparkling little jewel in
a princely diadem. And at the "all
out," of our genial Short Line con
ductor, stepped briskly down to take
my first look.
Alas, was I so tired? Or dazed?
Something lackingl A cheery voice
came to my ears "Ride up town?
Only ten cents!" Again I breathed,
and riding brcifiy found reality of my
imaginary picture for Red Cloud is
a pretty town. Perhaps to you who
dwell here, who have grown up with
the town, who see it everyday, these
items are commonplace. The eyes of
a stranger newly arrived from abroad,
filled with comparative examples, see
utilities, beauties, opportunities, at
tractions, unnoticed by those who
daily come in contact with them.
The broad central streets lined with
prosperous looking business blocks,
swinging out in long vistas of resi
dences, the numerous cozy bungalows
interspersed with pretentious homes,
the strikingly modern public build
ings, cotut house, Lincoln school, high
school, Auld Public Library, all new,
make an attractive ensemble, indicat
ing civic pride, commercial activity
and progress.
My chat, dear reader, grows
lengthy. Of what lies back or the.so
visible effects tho hidden details
tho powers that make and move 1
shall 'have to write more later.
Meanwhile I- believe that I har
made clear tho fact that, at first im
pression, Nebraska in general and Red
Cloud in particular, arc pleasing to
the newcomer.
