1 Years Ago April 15, 1915 Improving the Lincoln Highway Arrangements have been made to do some material improving on the Lincoln Highway adjacent to Pine Bluffs. The town of Pine Bluffs is to begin at the Nebraska line and grade up, put in cement culverts and otherwise put in first class condition the two miles of road leading west, free gratis.

1 Years Ago June 5, 1915 Albin J.A. Anderson was up to Cheyenne last week to attend the Farmers Mutual Insurance Co. Meeting. He reports they have $173,000 of insurance written and but $500 loss.

Finnigan was on the streets of Albin Sunday posting bills. The barn dance at Guy Hawks was postponed until Saturday Oct. 23, on account of the rain. Ed...
1 Years Ago February 4, 1915 Change in Post We are thinking seriously of making a change in the Post by cutting out the four pages of ready print and giving only the four pages of home print. If we do this we will continue the $1.00 subscription rate. On account of the advanced price of ready prints, if we continue it we would be forced to again raise the subscription to $1.50. We believe our readers are not materially interested in the patent side as they get most of this foreign news in the other papers they take. On account of close times...
1 Years Ago June 17, 1915 Hats off to Burns We understand that Burns has finally decided not to celebrate the Fourth this year and the people of Pine Bluffs feel like extending her a vote of thanks, knowing that this decision was rendered because we were putting on a celebration here. It was thought for some time that Burns would celebrate and some plans and arrangements were being made to that effect. We argued the point with some of the leading men there that, as Pine Bluffs was planning a...
1 Years Ago June 10, 1915 Pine Bluffs Garage Again Changes Hands The Pine Bluffs garage, owned by Elgin Kinkaid was purchased by Coad & VanPelt, proprietors of the Lincoln Highway Garage, last week.

Both the Lincoln Highway Garage and the Pine Bluffs Garage are equipped with the best machinery and are able to offer best accommodations to tourists over the Lincoln Highway, of which there are a large number at this time of the year.

1 Years Ago February 11, 1915 WE NOTICED IN the eastern exchanges that a number of towns there are putting on a series of monthly sals by the business men and farmers which is proving very satisfactory to buyer and seller. We believe Pine Bluffs could do likewise. Many farmers have a surplus of livestock, farm implements and other articles they wish to dispose of; while there are many others that are wanting to buy such things and by getting buyer and seller together both would be benefited. A list is prepared for the monthly sale and...
Pawnee Lady Coyotes continue to fight, drawing from a deep well of courage if not a deep bench. “This past week could have been a breaking point for our Pawnee Lady Coyotes. Monday we were hit with a pretty big obstacle, for the week we would be playing, if at all, with only five ladies,” Malcom said. “This entire season we have been playing with seven and even that's been a challenge. Our competitors can sub in and out, having deep benches, while we don't get that.” “On Tuesday, I walked into the gym and saw the team warming up, ready to pract...

1 Years Ago Jan. 8, 1915 The question of consolidating the rural schools in this section is being seriously considered. The plan is to have a graded school with three rooms and a high school course added in each specified section and haul the pupils to and from such school. If this plan can be worked out there is no question but what it would materially raise the standard of common schools. Where this plan has been tried out in other states it has given perfect satisfaction. The serious difficulty here is on account of the spare population it...
1 Years Ago Jan. 1, 1915 It leaked out some time ago that we were going to move from near Egbert to Pine Bluffs. So, Tuesday of this week the people of Egbert and vicinity gave us a very pleasant surprise by bringing in all kinds of good thing s to eat and spending the day with us. Near the noon hour they began to arrive and kept coming and coming until the house was full. They soon began to spread their feast upon the table, and such a feast it was. Salads, meats of all descriptions, jellies, fruits, cakes, pies, etc., and so on, which the...
1 Years Ago December 25, 1914 Day before yesterday a perfectly nice lady called us up, and, with tears in her voice, reproved us for not mentioning the fact that she had had a friend visiting her last week. We told her that she had not let us know anything about it and therefore, we did not know she had a visitor. Then she said, “Well, you should have known. I thought you were running a newspaper.” Wouldn’t that rattle your slats? Some people think an editor ought to be a cross between Argus and Anna Eva Fay. They seem to think that our five...

1 years ago December 11, 1914 New York, Dec. 5. - The largest single contract probably ever signed in the United States for the purchase of horses was made in this city today on account of the European war. It calls for the delivery within a short time of 25,000 perfectly sound, young animals, broken to harness or saddle, at a price said to be between $200 and $250 each. The horses will be used for artillery and cavalry service. The amount of the contract is between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000. The remarkable fact of the contract is that the...
1 years ago Dec. 4, 1914 In these days of freak legislation, fanatical laws and attempts to regulate habits and personal affairs by legal rulers, it is refreshing to come across a new idea in city ordinances which, hurting no one, sets as a means of serving lives and reducing the number of accidents. Portland, Ore. is the city which is to be complimented upon writing into its code of law which has made the place unique in one respect. There are 300,000 people in Portland and there are countless automobiles. Yet in the last nine months there h...

Brady, which was filed with the surrogate of Albany county, New York. Brady left a total estate of $77,042,443, according to the transfer tax appraisal. 75 years ago November 30, 1939 Gold...

1 years ago Nov. 13, 1914 That war is fought by boys is a familiar truth that we often forget. But the records of our own civil war prove it overwhelmingly. The department rolls show that in the great rebellion there were enlisted in the army of the north 2,778,309 men, and of these 25 were 10 year old and younger, 225 12 years and under, 1,523 14 years old and under, 844,891 16 years and under, 1,151,438 18 years and under, 2,159,798 21 and under and 618,511 22 years and over.

1 years ago Nov. 6, 1914 Horse buyers are invading Wyoming from every direction in search of mounts for the English and French cavalry and it is anticipated that during the next few months this state will supply at least 100,000 head for this purpose. At present, the buyers seek only animals measuring up to the customary cavalry specifications, but later, horsemen anticipate, they will be glad to get smaller animals as was the case during the Boer war, when even the Indian cayuses of the Wind River and Crow reservations were in demand....
