Stories of Nebraska History By 4 E Sheldon

saw the surveying parties making
mounds, driving stakes and digging holes
that the white men were coming to take
their land In many cases they pulled
up their stakes. tore down the mounds
and drove off the surveyors Great
storms swept down upon the surveyors
living in tents, and men and horses were
frozen TO death. Fever and ague was
common In the surveying camps. In
surveying the islands of the Platte river
the men waded through water for weeks.
Upon the high plains Of western Ne
braska they were tortured with thirst.
Mosquitoes, gnats and green-headed flies
pursued them, eager for blood bv day
and by night. Sometimes the Indians
set fire to the prairie and drove the sur
veying parties in because their horses
found no grass to eat. The saddest day
in all the surveys of Nebraska was Au-
gust 20. 1869, when band of Sioux In
Clans under Pawnee Killer and whistler
attacked the Nelson Buck surveying
party of ten men in the Republican val
ley and killed the entire party. There
was not a single season from 1863 until
1877 when the surveyors did not have to
fight the Indians. and for many years
later all surveying parties carried rifles
along with their instruments and often
saved their lives thereby.
The United States surveys OF Nebraska
are ended All the field notebooks and
the township maps of the surveys are
turned over to the state Of Nebraska and
kept in a fireproof vault by the state sur
veyor in the capitol building. The LETT
ters written by the surveyors in the field,
telling the story Of their trials and dan.
gers are there bound in volumes for fu-
ture Nebraskans to read All the titles
to all the lands and lots in Nebraska rest
finally upon the record OF these surveys.
Land in Nebraska grows moro valuable
from year to year and these records are
called for so that surveyors today may
follow the field notes Of these first sur
veyors, retrace their lines and locate the
true corners where land is in dispute.
So long as men live and occupy the land,
so long will the surveys of Nebraska and
the records of them be first in Importance

meridians were needed. In a similar
way standard parallels were run at each
interval of twenty-four miles north from
the base line. The surveyors made the
survey by running a line due north from
the base line twenty-four miles, then due
east forty-eight miles to the meridian.
The block Of land thus laid off was sub
divided into townships and sections by
marking the corners of each township and
each section with stakes or stones set
in a mound of earth and four holes dug
so as to form a square figure with the
mound in the center. In pioneer times,
the. gray wolf or the coyote sitting upon
one of these mounds would howl through
the long hours of the night. On the Sec
ton line halfway between the section
corners was placed what is called a
Quarter Stake"
Beginning thus in the southeast corner
Of the state, the surveys were each year
rushed a little farther west and north
in the direction most likely to be taken
by the settlers as they came In, until all
the state was surveyed The last sur
vey thus mace was the rGates of Sheri-
dan" reservation In Sheridan county
which was finished in 1910. fifty-six years
after the first survey was made.
Each surveying party kept a book called
a field notebook i'm which was to be writ
ten down each day the distances meas
u,ed. a description of the surface Of the
country, all prominent natural objects
seen. the quality of the land. the corners
marked and how they were marked. In d
word the entire story Of things done and
seen each Cay. From these field notes
maps were made, showing all the streams
hills, valleys, smooth and rough land
and copies of these maps were kept at
the land offices where the settlers went
to file their claims upon land Some Of
these surveys were dishonesty made, the
corners not marked as required by law
and the field notes not truthfully kept,
so that settlers in some cases lost their
homes or located on the wrong piece of
land Or were unable to find the govern
ment corners.
Great dangers and hardships were
braved by the pioneer surveyors. The In

One day my brother and / found the
cat playing with queer mouse.
We decided II would make fine pet,
as the cat had not hurt It any, so We
caught IL.
We had never seen anything like him,
but he looked like n "kangeroo mouse"
His body was about five inches long. his
head two inches long and his tall be-
lieve. was as long as his body. On the
very tip of his tail was a large tuft of
hair. He slept ON his side, curled his tail
UP and pillowed his head ON the tuft
We called him Roo Roo. In two or
three days he grew real tame-so tame
that we could handle him with our hands
My brother made him cage with two
rooms bed room and n dining room.
I gave him a large piece OF cloth for
nest and he tore II to shreds.
We fed him crumbs wheat and cactus
seed ali mixed together. but during the
night he would sort them out. putting
wheat Ia one corner OF his room, crumbs
In another and cactus seed In stil an
other. He slept dayA The cover ON his
cage was tied on with heavy cord and
one day the Ratchet was left ON top OF
his cage.
The yellow cat. Tammany. swung the
Ratchet around with his paw until It cut
the string and he caught Roo Roo while
he was asleep. We were sorry TO see him

The orGers for the survey Of Nebraska
called for a division of the land into

Each township was divided into blocks

the townships in Nebraska are numbered,
beginning with number one at the base
line and ending with number thirty-five
at the northern boundary. Each row of
townships stretching across the state

The ranges are counted from the sixth

Upon its surface lotus blossoms dream.

With shadowy traceries. the faintest CLEAN.
Down the mountain side there is a path
Stony and rough where pilgrims seek the way,
Stumbling and faint. toward that fair aftermath
That flecks with cool the desert Of the day.
Rains white cool fingers and her silver throat
Lead periously near the magic lake.
Till with her last faint laughter-echoed note.

But have dreamed, and dreaming found a way.

Where fewer mortals ever fear 10 stray,
Lest they may never reach the lake of sleep.
