The families of Mr. Scott and Ira

Walter Scott sold Charlie Lockwood
eighteen or twenty tons of hay at $8.00
per ton in the stack last week.
It takes our people from this
neck o' the prairie from two to four
days to get to town and back now.

Cold? Why of course! But no worse
out here than in hundreds of other
districts all over the United States,
We hear that Nicholson Bros, are
feeding six tons of hay a day now, and
will have no more than enough to take
their cattle through the winter.
Garfield Ball braved the storm and
went to Marsland Monday, but was not
able to get back until the next day,
owing to the condition of the roads.

ness end of it, this southeastern corner
of Sioux county promises soon to have

the best equipped and manned country
telephone system in this part of the
state. Powell is a master at the tele
phone business and all he knows about
it isn't on the end of his tongue-or
spent in hot air.
Wonder how many of us away out
hero on these bleak, storm-swept and
frozen, snow-clad prairie hoinc3teads,
so far from- town and doctors, ever
think to thank God for keeping us and
our little ones in good health during
such distressing weather as wo are
having.
Neighbor Boyer has bought and fed
about twenty tous of hay already. His
cattle are looking exceptionally well,
Mr. Boyer will take them to his place
on the Platte, near Bayard, as soon an
he can drive them. Ho has plenty of
hay there. Ho will also take a bunch
for Whitaker and a few for Harry
Kauffan, to keep for the winter.
We hear today that the government
officials have given the men putting up
ice a tin that they'd better eot their c
all up by January 15th. This sounds
good to 'us frozen up homesteaders.

awful cold weather of the oast two
months.
Howard Whitaker was seen plowing
through the snow drifts in our neigh
borhood Sunday p.m. He seemed
lost, but it later developed that there
was a "Hawk" in with htm and ho was
simply looking after tho tender bird in
the storm. Heroic? Why, of coursol
Tho more so when we remember the
mercury stood between two and thirty
degrees below zero.
Harry Kauffman came home from
Hemingford Sunday, bringing a load
of coal for Mr. Boyer. Ho had hard
ly gotten rested well when ho received
word by telegram that hia father could
live but a few hours, and on Monday,
in the storm, he and his wife and
children and Mrs. Kelly, a sister, left
for Hemingford to take tho train for
Mason City, Nebr., to bo at tho bed
side of his dying father.
Mr. Leathers, Sr., we are told, wants
to sell out and get back toward Missou
ri. He'd better stay with Sioux county.
Wc arc reminded of the pepple who
became discouraged and left Sheridan
and Box Butte counties several years
ago, and today the farms they left are
worth from J20 to J50 per acre. Of
course, we don't raise tho same kind of
apples and roses here that they do in
Missouri or rocks, either.
If we are going to have school during
the winter season in this district,
wouldn't it be well and much more hu
man to build some sort of a shelter
near the school house for the faithful,
dumb brutes that carry the children to
school? It is brutal to drive a horse
through the deep snow until warm and
sweaty, then let it stand out in the
ANNUAL
cold attd freeze all day whilo the child
ren aro sitting in a warm room getting
an education.
If every merchant wns as kind and
considerate of the needs and comfott
of the people, during such seasons as
this, as Friend Lockwood of Canton Is.,
how much hardship and sulfating
might ho avoided. During tho past
several weeks of bad ronds and weath
er thero has necessarily been a short
age of supplies in the stores at Canton
and Curly. Charlie, instead of taking
advantage of tho homesteaders' hard
position and ''sticking it onto them"
with high prices, has sold his goods at
a lower prico, in most cases, than the
Hemingford, Alliance and Marslaud
merchants. Not only this, but seeing
hard times ahead, ho has limited tho
supply of flour, kerosene, otc, to each
customer in order to make these neces
sities help most of tho people. For
iustanco, how can tho Marsland mer
chants blame us for knocking a little
when they charge us twenty-five cents
for a gallon of kerosene that wo can
get at Canton for eighteon cents.

Cement Walks
I make a specialty of ce
ment walks and work. Have
been constructing same in Al
liance more than one year,
and invite the most rigid in
spection of my work. Use
only the best of materials and
make prices as low as can be
done with honest work. Have
had many years experience in
cement construction in vari
ous cities. Remember poor
cement work is dear at the
cheapest price and when you
have had to replace it is mon
ey thrown away.
