One of the men best known and most often named is Jay Gould, financier and railroad operator . Many Nebraskans know that he had an Important part in Neb raska's development in the 1870'.s and 1880's through his connec tion with and control of the Union Pacific railroad. His policies in the Union Pacific deeply affect ed other parts o( our develop ment. Richard C. Overton, historian of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy, pointed out some of this influnence in a recent ar ticle in Nebraska History. The article, entitled "Wliy did the C B i Q Build To Denver?, explaines the reasons for the Burlington extending its lines in the direction and at the time it did to make its connection in to Denver in 1882. The reasons for the building of the Burlington line to the south west and to Denver made a com plex but an intriguing story. It is the story of the development of two great railroad systems and the struggle between two financial and railroad titans. Jay Gould and Charles Perkins. President of the Burlington The Burlington first entered Nebraska in 1869 building a railroad from Plattsmouth to Kearney Junction. The road was built first to get the federal land grant, and also to participate in trans-continental traffic on an equal basis with the Union Pac ific from Kearney east. Local traffic was not a major consideration. The Burlington soon developed cooperative con nections of various sorts with a number of lines serving Council Bluffs, St. Jceseph, and Atchi son, as well as points further east. These lines gave the Burling ton family of railroads enough control in the area to give them a good bargaining position for getting a share of traffic in area where they did not have direct connections such bargains or "pools" were necessary to en able the competing railroads to complete shipments over rival lines. Lack of agreement prevented shippers from serving anyone who could not be reached by their own lines. At the time the Burlington was expanding, Gould and his as sociates attempted to dominate the Nebraska area, and to keep the Burlington family of rail roads from getting a portion of the transcontinental trade by a connection with the West. I The moves and counter moves in the struggle between the two i roads, and between Gould as head of the Union Pacific sys tem and the equally capable and aggressive Charles Perkins of the Burlington terminated in 1882 with the completion of the Burlington line into Denver. Here the Burlington was able to make a large inroad into the raffia nf I """ii kjl uiu muuiuuin area ana sj' " snare oi tranic that had formerly gone to the Union Pac ific.

Windbreak Can Make Winter's Chores Easier LINCOLN Nebraska bliz zards have a way of reminding us that a good windbreak can eliminate large drifts around the farmstead where a farmer does most of his winter chores. "Farmers can solve this prob lem by planting trees in the right places," points out Ells worth Benson, Extension fore ster at the College of Agricul ture. "Many existing windbreaks that are not protecting the farmstead can, with minor changes, perform this function. In many cases, one row of red cedar planted to the north and west of the present windbreak can help correct the situation. Such a row should be planted back far enough so as to trip the snow before it gets to the farmstead area." "Evergreens will afford a great deal of protection from snow drifts just five years after planting," according to Benson. County Extension Agents over Nebraska are taking orders for various kinds of windbreak trees for planting this spring. Additional information on wind breaks also can be obtained from the local Soil Conservation Service or by writing to Ells worth Benson, Extension fore ster, College of Agriculture, Lin coln. Dairy Outlook Is Brighter LINCOLN In direct con trast to some segments of agri culture, the outlook for dairy ing in 1960 looks "relatively good." For the second straight year, production declined slightly in 1959 while per capita consump tion held about steady, reports T. A. Evans, Extension dairy marketing specialist at the Col lege of Agriculture. "An increase in total con sumption due to increased popu lation lowered dairy surpluses to the lowest level in several years. This closer balance be tween production and consump tion should result in prices to dairy farmers in 1960 at least equal to those received in 1959 and very probably higher," Evans reports. Early estimates indicate that Nebraska total milk production in 1959 declined about 3 per cent below 1958. The major portion of the decline appeared to be among the smaller producers in the farm-separated cream mar keting areas of the state. Butter production in 1959 de clined about 8 per cent below 1953 output. However, produc tion of Grade A milk marketed throitgh the Nebraska-I o w a Milk Association increased about 8 per cent. "Due to the decline in beef cattle prices in 1959, it is likely that milk and cream producers will not cull their herds in 1960 as heavily as they did during the past 2 years,'' Evans pre dicts. "This will mean that pro auction of milk in the cream producing areas of Nebraska probably will level off in 1960. An increase in cream production is possible, depending largely on weather and crop conditions. Production of Grade A milc should continue to increase , in 1960. Ice Traps Duck Asheville, N. C. When, a duck sleeping in a lake awoke recently, he found that his tail feathers were frozen in ice. By midalternoon. word of tho ducK's plight brought crowds, a traffic jam around city-owned Beaver Lake, and thn Kim tip. partment. The duck's dilemma was solved by Harry A. Guter, who used a Fire Department grappling hook to haul himself in a small skiff across the 100 yards of ice to the grounded fowl. The duck was transferred to the open waters of a lake. Do not despise a small wound, a poor re:at:e or a humble en emy. La moli Proverb
