- I FOREWORD and Brief Story Of Early Settlenlent

Of South East ynlley County - - (By E. J. Babcock)

The f i rs t settlement of Valley County and of the xorth LouP valley above the was at XOrth Loup. The writer is one of the very few remaining early settlers who came here in 1872. Jt is thought 1 can therefore speak of those early years with Some degree of personality. I was only l2 years Old when we settled f n the valley. MY father Oscar Bab- cock was for n i a w years the acknow- ledged leader of all civil, church, edu- cational and business interests in the county. mlfs drculnstance brought many things to mY notice beyond the ordinary attention of a boy of my age. It is for these reasons that I have been asked to write a little about these very early times, old settlers and lead- ers. I ail1 espec ia l l~ asked to write about my father's work and life m d about the work and llfe of those lead- ers n h o came to the County in the spring of 1872.

Those early pioneers Were al l her- oes. They have builded better than they knew. They found a virgin wilderness. Not a home, nor a plowed

'C. P. Rood, and written articles were drawn and adopted. Elder Babcock was elected President apd Geo. B. Rood, Secretary. Elder Babcock had made an exhaustive examination of suitable locations, carried on an ex- tensive correspondence n j t h R, R. officials and immigration agencies and it was decided to first investigate xe- braska and then possibly Kansas. A committee of iour, C. P. ROO^, N. B. prentice, A ~ O S Travis and C. H, ~ v e l l - man were elected and with a horse teani and covered aagon drove to the ~ o u p Country in Nebraska and up the North LOUP to the Chalk IIills opposite where Scotia now stands, ~t this point the owner of the team, hIr. Prentice decided to return. But Mr. ~ o o d was not content to go back till he had traxnped through the hills, mounted the Sugar Loaf and viewed the beautiful valley about the present towns of North LOUP .and ~ c o t i a . Tvhile a part of the cbmlnittee reported some disadvantages, Nr, Rood could only sing the beauties of the valley above the Chalk Hills and Elder Babcock placed great faith in his judgment Further investigation by Elder Bab- cock strengthened the opinion of 3Ir Hood, and in the fall of 1871 a second party consisting of C.

Another building was on the corner where the old First Xational Uank stands and another building on the ground where A. J. \Vise is IIOW located was the of- fice of the county clerk, a t that time II. A. Babcock. Across the street where the Gem and garage are, mas a cedar log house occupied by hIr. Uabcock a s a dwelling. I distinctly recall that a s I exchanged a quarter of venison later on for a dollar and a half and delivered i t a t the house. Then there mas Joe Capron's print- ing office near where the IIotel Ord now stands. I think Dr. IVeare had

1 his little house also, where he livc,.l to be around a hundred years old. The house still stands and it yet occupied. IIe planted out the large cottonwoods that are anlong the largest trees in town so one can see about what such trees will do in fifty years. I do not recall any houses south of the square a s residences a t that period as the original townsite did not conlprise near the territory that was adde,d lat- e r on.

Ord was in its swaddling bands at this time, but a s ever, the question of school and education mas always in the minds of those pioneers. So in June, 1574 a nleeting was callecl a t the house of Arthur Stacy and district So. 5 was organized. Tlie district was large of CoLIrse as to territory but did

' n o t contain lnany pu1)iIs. 0. S. Has- kell was elected director and a levy of 6 mills mas made for school pur- poses. I find that in Dece~ilber 157.4 the school fund on hand and collect- ed and in said fund was $5.97, and in Novcniber 1875 the anlount collected

scllool fund in district No. $3.75. The county superintendent was a. 11. Terry and I think he was the first superintendent of schools in Val- ley county. . soye of the pupils who attended

Drake and Lytle decided that i f Lay could be burned in a stove it could be used to burn bricks and having faith in their plans started the very first brick yard in Ord iq the edge of the canyon just south of the present Ord. Today it would seen1 really in- credible that brick could be burned with hay and weeds but the house that the editor of the Quiz nom owlis was built of brick burned with hay in 1881. Of course it took quite a lot of hay and weeds but all outdoors was open for the cutting a t that tilllo and a month was spent in the gettiiiq ready for the burning, but the result mas a very good quality of brick for about two-thirds of the kiln, the oth- er third being of rather poor quality. IIowever it mas used for founilatiolls ancl a lot of the early buildings are still resting on that hay burned brick. J I . \~~ILLI \ L. PLYNK

i 3 I a Retrospe~t FIFTY YEARS

AS REGARDSLAND VALUES H..kILHO.ID SI I IP~NSTS PROM OlID Fifty years of time in the life of a n individual person represents quite

a period of time, but in the life of the world's history and the events of cidlization, it represents but a very short period of time.

Probably more advancement has been made in all lines of science, inventions, mechanics, labor saving devices, agricultural progress and every- thing else during the fifty years last passed than ever before.

The ox team, the stage cotch and the horse, i n a great measure, have given way to palatipal railroad tralrs, the automobile, the tractor and tbe a i r plane. Instead of taking several months time to cross the United State$ as it did fifty years ago, the trip is now made in practically a day.

Fifty years ago the states that are now classed a s "Eastern States" were "Western Frontiers." There were extensive public domains of Government land for "Homestead, Yre-~mytion and Timber Claim filings". Today there a re no more Governnient lands. There has never been but one crop of land and, comparatively speaking, but a small portion of that is suitabl3 for agricultural purposes. There a r e many crops of people to use the one crop of land. The people a re increasing in numbers daily, while the lacd remains the same. The sod house of the farmer has given way to the modern house equipped with every convenience. Instead of getting mail a t irrgular intcr- vals, the farmer now has his mail delivered to him daily. He also enjoys the telephone and the radio and is in direct communication a t all times with tho world. The taxes on good land now amount t o more than the cost of

efovernment land fifty years ago. Fifty years ago Nebraska was known a3 the Great American Desert. Today i t is regarded a s a very material w r + n" the best agricultural portion of the United States. While the East has gone to decay in an agricultural sense , there has sprung up in the \Vest a veritable Empire from which the worid is now fed.

COMPAIIATIVE POPULATION The population of the United States fifty years ago was 38,560,000, Now

it is over 110,000,000, or very nearly three times the former number. The population of Nebraska fifty years ago is reported a s 123,000, or considerably less than Omaha and but a little greater than that of Lincoln now. At this time the population of Nebraska is practically 1,500,000 or more than 12 times greater than fifty years ago. The population of the world is now reported a s being l,SOO,OQ0,000 and is rapidly increasing. All these people must be fed 13 i t any wonder the price of Iand has advanced from the days of Government Homesteads. I s it any woi~der that a thoughtful person, interested in his own welfare, that of his family and of posterity, should give serious con- sideration t o getting a FARhl HOME?

Fifty years ago there was no railroad in Valley County, nor was there until 1882. Fifty years ago what few people there were in Valley County hauled their products and did their marketing in Grand Island which was then but a mere village, and this practice was continued until the railroad came. During the year 1922 there was shipped from Ord 327 car loads of grain, besides that used by the local mills and stock feeders, and 612 car loads of live stock. This makes no mention of the cream, poultry and eggs shipped out in large amounts. This niakes quite a contrast with that of marketing products in Grand Island fifty years ago.

PROSPECT FOR E,\Sl'lSG YlPTY YE-kllS While we know of the progress made the past fifty years in all lines,

i t i s difficult for the ordinary mind to conceive the scientific possibilities during the next fifty years. I t is not so difficult, howver, to form an opiniou a s to ftuture agricultural conditions We all know our population is in- creasing rapidly; that there is but a limited amount of land, yet the food requirements of the world will make constantly increased demand upon the land. This will cause farm lands to be sub-divided into sn~a l le r tracts than a t presnt, and much Inore intensive tillage will be required than our present methods of farn~ing. This, in turn, will enhance the valup of land very materially, This matter was covered very nicely by the president of the Federal Farni Loan Bank cf St. Paul recently in a n address made by him. t l e said:

"There is only one crop of land. Our population is graving all the time, and the demand for our good lands will be keen. Ten years trcjn~ riow those who own a good far111 will be fortunate, indeed, and will occupy .an enviable position. I t will be difficult to secure a farm' then. Only tho:;.lr who havr capital can hope to beconle a iandlord, except by inheritance."

"Those who act now and take advantage of this opportu>ifj, will have good cause to rejoice and their childre11 after them, Farmin:: will be the best, safest and most satisfactory business in Anlerica mitliia tlid nr?st ten years. I t is hard to see this now just a s we a re going through the adjustulent period., but it is the thing we must see and plan our future accordingly."

No more Frontiers today.

PERSONAL OPERATIONS IN VALLEY COUNTY I came to Howard County with niy

father and family in 1883. My father bought land near Elba a t that time and I have been interested in Kebraska lands since 1883. I begail my land operations in Valley County about 21 years ago. Since that time I have probably bought and sold more land than any other indivdual in Valley County. I con- sider Valley County one of the best counties in the state, and Nebraska one of the best states in the United States. There is no agricultural country any better than this middle western sectioli of the United States I t is the veritable granary of the world There is no need or occasion for any one wanting to fa rm or handle live stock to go elsewhere. There is no better place for

such occupation than in Valley County.

There has never been a more favorable time to buy land than RIG11T KOW. While tine Ilomesteader and the Pioneer got their lands cheaper than prices that now prevail they suffered many hardships nnd.privatiolis Now there is peace and con~fort and many luxuries. The man who buys land today at the pre-war prices that now prevail will avail himself of an opportunity that is not likely ever to be enjoyed again, Lane prices a re now a t the bottom and the ten- dency is to strengthen and advcnce fro111 now on. General business and financia1 collditions a r e improvij i~. Agricultural conditions are also improving. Land re- presents the only basic wealth of the world and without prosperous agricultural con-

ditions there can be no general prosperity for any 'p'eriod of time.

The cow, the sow and the hen arc important factors in the success of every farnier today. If accoil~panied by work and care on the part of the farmer, they will not oilly make the living for the fanlily, but will also pay for the land. This has bee11 conclusively demonstrated.

I have bought and sold land in Valley Couilty a s low As Four Dollars per acre, but thal time,, like the day of the home- stead, has passed, and will never come again You cannot grind any g ~ i s t s with the water that has gone down stream, neither will you ever be able to get any more free lands. \ m e n lands were selling for Five and TCE Dollars per acre aifd up, thre was a large

In Valley County. I often recall those good old days and if I could recall 1 them in their regular order and set them down in flowery language I b l e i v e i t would be a story that would have lots of interest for the readers of the Quiz. Unfortunately however, I am unable to recall the things that happened forty to fifty years ago in the order in which they happened. As I go about my dally work or pleas- ure, things that happened a re brought to my mind and I think, that will be a good thing to write about but when t h e time comes to write the story I am woefully short on memory.

My childhood home was in Missouri then on the frontier of western civi- lization and after my marriage we wanted to go west, a s Horace Greeley had advised, and grow up with the country and I feel that I can truly say that I grew up with this good country of Nebraska, for most of my life has been spent here. Of course* like all settlers, we experienced many hardships and trials, many adver- sities kept us from making the finan- cial progress that we hoped t o make i n the new home when we said good- bye to the old lllissouri home and with all our worldly possessions in one wagon drawn by a n ox team, we se t out for the new west. In spite of thls however, I believe we were as well off a s most of our neighbors and I know the pleasure fa r outweighed the unpleasant things.

I well renlenlber when we left Mis- souri, saying good-bye to the loved ones, who stood about weeping, fear- ful lest we fall a prey to the Indians said to infest the country where we were going. I was young and full of optimism a t that time and couldn't understand their fear that they might never see us again. I t was early March and those of the readers that h o w what March is in ~ i s s o u r f . ed out on that early spring day through the nlud and slush.

all kinds of planning to find room to eat and sleep, but it didn't take much time to do the house work. Most of the furniture was home made. The ; dining room table was not much be- side the mahogony tables of these days, but we gathered around i t a s joyously a s we do now and partook of the corn bread and milk which was very often our entire menu, and en- joyed it as much a s we do the finest banquet nowadays. J e some times got a slab of salt pork o r bacon when we p a d e the trip to Grand Island and enough money could be found to buy It but for the most par t our meat con- sisted of wild game and fish caught In the Loup River. I think my son John who was a small lad a t that time, got his lore of fishing from accoulpanying me to the river where we were able to catch many fine cat- fish. The chairs we used around the table were home made stools or blocks of wood and af ter a meal the table had to be set outside to make room for other work that was necessary to do inside and a t night all the furniture had to be moved outside to set up the beds. A bed was made of two poles stuclr into the dirt wall in holes made for that purpose with another short pole a t the outer en& for a post and then poles laid lengthwise and in the morning it was but the n o r k of a nlo- ment to tear the bed to pieces and carry i t outside and bring the table and chairs in. Much of the cooking was done over a n open fire place,

Fifty years is a long time, and meas- ured in le~rnls of hunlan progress in the North Loup Valley, the last fifty ye~ars is for longer than the preceed-

but he posted men all around on the hills back of Harters, so that if the Indians came after us we would know of it. I remember this Captain of ours, asked the man who came ahead of us, where he wanted to be station- ed and his reply was that he wanted t o die with his family. This impress- ed rile a s not only heroic but it would pu t hinl in the shelter of the block house'. But instead of letting him die with hjs family, our captain placed hinl in one of the m4st exposu

positions. That night, after dark about nine

o'clock, we found out that the Freeman family who were living down by the river about two miles, had not Come In. SO two of us Ori horseback, Weat down there. As I remember, we dtd not find them, they having taken an- other road to the block house. Next day we could not hear any news and we did not know there were any Indians in the valley except what the man had told us.

Uncle Bailey took his team and wagon and man and nlyse,lf were to go u p the river opposite the Post and see if we could find out anything. drove the

up as fa r as his place and we* this other nlan and. myself, rode on horseback, until. we got up above Uncles, opposite the Post settlement, where there xvas a small island in the river then, and a high bank on the North side. We see any One over and I said I go across and this man was to stay and keep mY horse for me, until I could find out what was going on

Uncle drove back with the team and left this man and myself with the horses. I wish I could find this nlan as I have always wanted to meet hia.

I down to the river and It was cold and ther,e was solne ice in it, but it was not deep and I went across to the island and the,n across over t o the Post Settlement. ,There were two men digging a cellar and I asked them if they had Indian t r o ~ b l e ' and they said lhat boys were Chasing them and that they had driv- e n them out of the country. By the way these boys were good fighters. This sounded good to me and I went back through the river but could not sac n 1 ~ man and t'he horses. I got out of the river and clfmbed u p the bank where I had left hinl but could not see anything of him. I was pretty well tired out with the cold and wet, but saw there was nothing else to d o / but to walk to ~ a r t e r s . which I did11

He said to' me, "Your cousin Blrs. Freeman, just up a t that house, told me that she thought I could get you to go with me up to Valley county to help me . find a claim." The stranger was Orson S. Haskell. I told him to put his team in the stable and to feed them, an4 after diuiier I would be ready to go.". The dinner was tho largest part of getting ready, a s all I had to do aside from that was to roll up what little bedding I had, stuff a few garments in a seaillless sack, and most important, to take from Bfty to a hundred rim fire 44 calibre metallic cartridges f0.r my Chas.

It was so near night that my only chance for a shot was to take it then and there, and I saw the dust fly froin where the ball strut* the groun(1, sollie fit- teen or twenty yards behind the one I aimed at, They started up the hill on a run and I reloaded and aimed higher and fired a t them running. I watched them go over the hill top out u: Sight, shouldered my rifle anti started for camp. Then I stopped and said to myself that it was a strange thing that the last one turned and made a few jurnps a t a right angle to the course they werr; taking, just before going out of sight. So I turn- ed and walked lo the top of the hill and as near to the spot a s I could guess, after looking and listening I walked fifty or sixty yards down the other eide of the hill, tr. :ng to follow the right angle coursu. A prairie f i re had swept through the hills but had left some slliall patches of grass. and about sixty yards below nie I saw what looked, in the dusk of evening like a large patch of grass. \Vhen I approached it, however, it proved to be a large four-prcng white tail buck I took out the entrails. aril went dowu to calnp, where I told Orson what 1 had u p on the hill.

OX'soll, in after years, often spoke of that night and that supper. The next day we drove to the Cedar canyons and OD our way up we saw a wolf down on the flat. \Vhen the colts had gone on a little farther we saw a big white tail buck facing it. When I got out of the buggy to take a shot a t i t both wolf and the buck ran away. When we started down the river fro111 the canyons it was alnlost dark and we saw several deer, and I fired a few shots a t them, but i t was too dark to take sure aim. The next day Orson started to Grand Island to file on the s o u t h w s t quarter of Sectio~i 10-19-14. I stayed a t Long's and began to build a shanty, he helping me with his team. A .short time before we came he had drol?ped on one knee to fire at a Blal- lard duck and a sharp pointed blade of prairie grass had penetrated the center of his knee pan.

The Early Settlers had a real problem in house building. Whether it was a dugout, soddy or a rude shack of pine boards. The pioneers had a hundred and one difficulties to surmount in establishing their homes on the barren prairies. There was the constant danger of Indians, more real than imaginary, prairie fires and all of the features incide'lit to a new country. Some of the first frame houses built in the county were hadled from Grand Island a t a single load.

The prospective home-builder today has the necessary material almost a t his dooryard. The house may be just as elaborate as his means and taste dictate. We handle every item that is required in the construction of the modern home. We are prepared to assist in the planning of your dwelling house and the service that the.
