Feb. 3, 19i:i. Kditor Alliance Herald: In your laat iseue of The Herald you have formulated three plans, by which there could be a primary for the. purpo.se of eliding a candidate, to be appoint Oil postmaster to suc ceed Mr. Tash at the expint ion of his term. I, as a I'r gressive Dem ocrat, believe in ,'n sic 'an, "Let Un people rule", and ain in favor Of the first plan. Permit all legal voter that are patrons of this office to vote for their choice. The candi dates o be patrons of -this office and residents of Box Butte county, and must tie good democrats, it is true that some people differ as to the right method to approve of an appointment. This in my Judgement Is the right way to select our next postmaster. The candidate must declare if ap pointed that he will look after the office to the best of his ability, that be will not run the offleeby an as sistant, but will attend to the office himself. The reason that I approve of this system is because I think that the patrons of this office know better who they want than four or five men down three to four "hunon u miles east do. No man would like to get an appointment 'uness he at least had his home indorsement. II this should be chosen as the way to decide. I would suggest that some fSimmluy should be set for the pri mary and that there he one voting place, the candldulea o put up enough money to print the ballots, and pay for the Judges and Clerks of election. .Candidates fo file as WILL ELECT OFFICERS The Elks will hold their regular lection of officers Friday night. A lull attendance Is requested. FIREMEN TO BLUFFS The members of the Alliance Vol unteer Fire Department fiave been invited to a big banquet to be given at Scottsbhiff next Monday evening.

JSaF Compnrat ively few people- have any idea of how much paper is re quired for an edition of a leading newspaper or magazine, or even how mitefa is required for a special edi tion Of a total paper, such as this i-stie of The Herald. There are many magazines ami metropolitan news). apt ri that require several tons of paper for a single edition, while there are a few that the amount necessary for one issue runs into car loals. Compared wth these, riie Herald would, look very diminu tive, but compared with oineri In our class it makes a nood showing. It requires about fifty pounds of paper for an issue of an ordinary country newspaper. WelUe one hun dred to two hundred pounds Is suf fUWnt fcr the average pup r of -.owns having a population t.f !,onh to 5,000. The above information will show something of the relative im portance of this issue or Die Herald wlun w e say that it rt quires I ,:100 pounds ef-paptr to print it, 1 ,0M pounds of "8up rior" print and M pounds Of hook paper lor tin- cover To brin: the comparison closer home, we esCinate that the cost of postage on this one issue of The IBrald will be more than that paid by the Alliin Times for an eni rc mouth, altliough that paper is pub lished twice a week.

This meet-In-' will be held In Omaha, at which time the question of loaning money to Kinkald homesteaders of the state will he taken up anil discussed in all its phuses. At the presint time homesteaders in the western pari of the state, af-. ter they have nrade final proof on their lands, are paying a rate of In terest that amounts to about 10 per cent, including commissions. Mr. Deaver is of the opinion that they ought to secure the money at from 6 to 8 per cent. This spring, according to Mr. Den vi r, there are hundreds of Nebraska homesteaders who will make final proof on their lands and if tiny can borrow money a: reasonable rates of intettst they will mortgage and put the proceeds Into cattle, generally cows, thus making the west half of the stale i gn at dairy section.
