J. T. Burger, the nurseryman, did
his first dynamiting for the season
Monday. He Informs The Herald
that there is much more interest
this spring than ever before in Alli
ance in dynamiting for tree culture
and intensified farming. The growth
of trees set out by Mr. Barger lust
year by dynamiting, compared with
others planted at the same time in
holes dug by a spade, is furnishing
proof of the superiority of the dyna
mite process that the most sceptical
cannot get away from.
The ground dynamited yesterday
was on a knoll where there was not
much moisture and where the sub
soil was dry within a few inches of
the surface. There was no frost in
the ground at that place. By sel
ecting such places for his first work,
it is probable that Mr. Barger can
keep steadily at work from now on,
except when Interrupted by bad
weather.

church. A good time is expected.
Tke proceeds will go for the benefit
Of the church. Every one invited.

Mrs. Julia Hale and three sous.
Hurley. Lloyd and Virgil, left Alli

Galesburg.' Michigan, where Mrs.
Male's daughter Pearl (Mrs. Guy C.
Bowman) resides and here they
expect to make their home. They
have lived in western Nebraska for
n-.uny ears, in fact the boys were
bom in this country and never were
east before. While they will no
doubt enjoy their new surroundings
for a time, it is probable that they
will before long get homesick and
wiidi to be back in Alliance where
they have many friends.
Alliance may well be proud of the
girls' basketball team which defeat
ed Scottsbluff Saturday night at the
High school gymnasium. At the be
ginning of the game it looked as if
the visiting girls had a good chance
of carrying home a victory but they
could not keep up the pace, and Al
liance walked away with the game
after the scoring began.
The honor of tossing the first bus
goal of the evening goes to Charlotte
Mollrlng, whose playing was a credit
to herself and the team. But the
team did not depend upon any one
player, as each succeeded in scoring
one or more baskets. Helen Hew
ett led In the scoring, having seven
field goals to her credit.
At the close Of the first half the
score was 21-4, Alliance's favor. The
four points made by Scottsbluff were
made from the foul line, no field
goals being made by the visitors un
til the second half. Lettie Irions,
center, scored the first field goal for
Scottsbluff, and was loudly cheered
by all witnessing the game.
Although the game was one-sided,
the score being 43-12 at the close, it
was one of the most interesting of
the season.
The Inter-classic games will be
held at the High school in about
two weeks, which will bring the bas
ketball season to a close at Alliance.
After the game Saturday night the
Scottsbluff bunch was taken to the
J. E. Rice residence and a splendid
evening enjoyed. The Latin Club
of the High school also met at the
Cotant home, and after a short pro
gram consisting of music by the
High school orchestra and songs, the
game "The Latin Verb" was indulg
ed in till nearly midnight, when re
freshments were served.

girls' tea ins: Alliance Ruth Nation.

I'Jhcn Central Says
"They Don't Answer"
When th telephone
operator says "Line Bu
sy," or "Don't Answer,"
remember, it would have
been easier to put through
your call than make such
a report.
If you are asking for a
number on a "party line,"
the "busy" report may
b? because some one is
talking over another tele
phone on the same line.
The Efficient Operator
The operator, of course, makes mistakes
everyone does but be tolerant with her,
please; she has been thoroughly trained in her
duties and is wonderfully efficient in her work.
Considering the number of calls handled, her
errors are marvellously few.
The Smiling Voice Is the Winning Way.

DO YOU REALIZE
How Strong is the Demand for Cheap Land?
If you have come to know what it means to own a farm, I can nu'
you in a position to secure one whose cost will be within your means.
THE MOMU.I.L LANDS. You can tile on a 320 acre Mondell tract in
Wyoming or Montana and make it yours at a cost to you of only $22. You
can, also, buy 160 acres more adjoining for $1.25 per acre; you can be
come the independent owner of 480 acres of good grazing and farm land
for $222. Our inquiries indicate an extensive settlement of these lands
this coming season.
The North Platte Valley and the Big Horn Basin
There are in these valleys Government irrigated homesteads, Carey
Act and Deeded lands. The Burlington's new central Wyoming main line
traverses both localities, and will put them in close touch with Westers
markets.
