Of Interest to Stockmen
Prof. A. T. Peters, head of the de
partment of animal pathology, Univer
sity of Nebraska, has written The Her
ald the following letter which will be of
interest to stockmen and inline: s:
"April 6, 1909.
Editor of the Herald,
Alliance, Nebr.
My Dear Sir:
Dr. P. Juckniess, the state veteri
narian, will make a tour of inspection
to ascertain the condition of mange in
cattle and the condition of other di
seases in the state. He will be in Al
liance on Monday, April 19, and will
hold a public meeting in the afternoon
to discuss these important subjects. It
is hoped that a large number of stock
men will be present at this meeting so
they can go over these subjects in de
tail and discuss ways and means for
eradicating these diseases, so that the
Federal Government will speedily re
lease our State from quarantine.
Dr. E. W. Howe, chief of the quar
antine division, Prof. E. W. Hunt and
Dr- A. T. Peters of the University of
Nebraska will accompany Dr. Juckniess
on this tour of inspection.
Hoping that you can give this duo
publicity, I remain,
Yours very truly,
A. T. Peters.
Three High-Grade
Pianos Sold
Recently the Crancer company placed
a half page advertisement exclusively
in The Herald for one week. Mrs.
Ross, the manager of the Alliance
store, informs our reporter that they
have already sold three high-grade
pianos as a direct result of that ad.
Does it pay to advertise? Does it pay
to plant seed when you want to grow a
crop?
Drop Them
No one regrets more than does The
Herald that any disparaging personal
ities were indulged in during the "late
unpleasantness" in Alliance. Why
some will persist in using that sort of
tatics when it is well known that gen
erally the cause of the one resorting
to them is tye most injured, is some
thing that not many have tried to ex
plain, The columns of The Herald
were open to both sides of the contro
versy for discusssion, and to a small
extent things of that kind crept under
the cover of correspondence, but wo
are glad to say that the editorial and
local news matter of the paper con
tained nothing of the kind regarding
Alliance people during the campaign.
If you have anything against any
body because of the work done before
election, drop it. Now is the time to
all pull together for the good of Alliance.
State Normal School
for Alliance
We cannot announce positively that
Alliance will get the new state normal
school, but we are confident that it will
be located here if the business men of
the city pull together for it. Much
more can be accomplished in this mat
ter by united effort than in any other
way. The Commercial club meets
next Monday night. That is the proper
body to outline the work necessary to
secure the school. We hope there
will be a full attendance at that time.
The Herald is at the service of the
club for anything it can do to help
along the good cause.

I RAILWAY NOTES AND PERSONALS
A Trainman's Reverie
I1Y ONE Ol' THE 110YB.
Tonight I'll write 11 letter back to my
dear old native laud,
To my people and friends aloug the
Hio Graude,
Who live among tho cactus and with
the great homed toad,
Where they climb for water and dig
down deep for wood.
In the beautiful valleys of New Mexico,
Where tho pure waters of tho Mem
brels flow,
And the sunsets are so beautiful and
grand.
Tonight I inn homesick for thut far
off hind. , '
There I was .happy till 1 made one
great mistake,
When Ed. Harris said Unit No. 00
was lute,
And MeNally pulled the pen and sot
1110 free,
Gave mo a time check and made a
boomer out of me.
To tho sund hills of Nebraska faraway
in my wanderings 1 then did stray;
With u heart full of hono and true
I obtained a position with the C. B.
&Q.
Now If you will listen kindly to my(talo
of woe,
I am working on a helper and wad
ing in the snow.
I am working on the engine just be
hind the train,
That docs the switching and helps
them up the slippery main.
Tho engines hero are of the Baldwin
make,
A compound "mill" with a New York
brake,
Mallet typo with cylinders four,
Monkey motion slide valves and
double door.
Tho hostler also is new at tho game; V
So decidedly new he's forgotten my
name.
Tell him just exactly, and then he don't
know
How to work an lnjdcter when tho
water is low.
Tho water hero is pumped from a river
Full of alkali and germs of typhoid
fever, k
Uard to carry and drives us nearly ln
sano,
While the Mallet trails along behind
the train.
Tho weather here is cold and way be
low; Pino Ridge is covered over with the
snow. '
While the cold northwest winter winds
do blow,
The Mallet moves the tonnage trains
awful slow,
Wo goto work at night and work alone,
Help all trains in sight, and get our
orders o'er a phone.
When we reach the summit and call up
with a smile,
It's the same old gag, "I know it's
cold, but just wait awhile.".
While we move along so slow between
the pine
That glow among the rocks along
the line,
There is an awful roar behind the train,
From tho exhaust cinders full like
summer rain.
The Mallet burns the lignite with a
will,
When helping trains on Crawford
hill, ,
And just our luck, aB u general rule,
The stutions hero are always short of
fuel.
When we go 'round Breezy Point, ubove
Horse Shoe Bend,
We look for the brakeraan with a
helping hand to lend.
When wo reach the tunnel we pass
right through
And breathe the smoke and gas, and
all the cinders chew.
Now I am getting tired of this life of
trouble,
Although with, our trains we never
have to double.
I cannot say what It can all be about,
Our machinery nnd equipment Is the
licl thins out.
But I am getting tired of this life of
Mil;
I am going tutuk and work upn the
Mill.
When 1 nnd some kind-hearted little
maid. ,'
Who will dwell with mo upon an old
Kinkaid.
Then when the hot boxes Illuminate
the midnight sky,
And the speeding varnished cars go
swiftly by,
I'll be living in a soddy, with tho
ground for a floor.
And the footsteps of the call boy will
bother me no more.
