NUMBER 35
FAVOR PAVING
BOX BUTTE AVE.
Bepresentattve Denver Firm Inter
view Local Business Men Re
garding Street Improvement
C H. Dranejr, representing John
Baker. Jr., dealer in asphalt, bitum
inous products, road oil, etc., of Den
ver, was In Alliance yesterday after
noon and this morning interviewing
leading local business men regard
ing the proposition of paying Box
Butte Avenue.
The proposition of paying Box
Butte avenue, which is the main
street of Alliance, has been consider
ed and talked of many times. Since
the "white way" was installed, the
need of beautifying the street sur
face to correspond with other Im
provements has been felt.
Practically all local business men
interviewed by Mr. Draney were In
favor of the proposition, realising
the value which paving would add
to their property and the lmprov
ment in the appearance of the town.
In an interview with Mr. Draney,
he stated to The Herald that the cost
f a seven-inch pavement, two inches
ef asphalt and five inches of cement
concrete foundation, would, not be
ver two dollars per square yard.
This would amount to about tow
hundred dollars per lot. This could
be paid for In yearly payments for
ten years, one-tenth of the cost being
paid each year, deferred payments
drawing seven per cent.
The street intersections would of
course have to be paid for by the
city. - This would amount to from
four to five thousand dollars if the
paving extended to take In the court
bouse block. This could be paid for
by a bond issue made by the city
council without special election.
Ifany citizens feel that now that
Alliance is making such rapid strides
in building and Improvement, and
ow that she is a city of the first
class in population, that the paving
should be given serious considera
tion. The matter will be considered
fey the Commercial Club and city of
teials. AWARD CONTRACT

THE SHADOW OF
A GREAT ROCK
Outline of Inspiring Sermon Preach
ed by Rev. F. C. Barrett at Un
ion Service Sunday Night
Following is an outline of the
sermon preached by Rev. F. C. Bar
rett of the Baptist church at the un
ion service held Sunday night on the
United Presbyterian church lawn.
Rev. Barrett took as his text Josl-
ah 32:2, A man shall be as a hiding
place for the wind ' as the
shadow of a great rock In a weary
land. He said in part:
The prophet uses this figure of a
great rock in the desert to present a
vital truth in the religious phase of
human life. The drifting sands of
the desert in their tendency to dis
courage and destroy vegetation and
prevent the extension 'of the oasis,
represents the tendencies that absorb
and control the minds of men and
prevent religious truths and princi
ples from gaining or remaining In
control of the souls of men. As veg
etation springs up and begins to
grow in the desert, but is soon cut
down and covered by the drifting
sands, so gospel influences may take
hold of a life or a community, only
later to be retarded and killed by ir
religious Influences that sweep over
that life or community. Forces that
absorb and Intoxicate the mind to
that extent that they leave no room
or chance for thots of the higher Im
pulses and purposes of the soul
whether right or wrong In them
selves become wrong and irreligi
ous because they hold down and
smother what otherwise would make
life nobler and better. Styles of
dress may become so captivating that
they may at length become a mental
tornado In Its power and velocity to
take possession of the minds of a
nation. A dance movement may be
so fitted to national tendencies of the
time that with a whirlwind velocity
it covers the extreme limits of a na
tion in an incredibly short time and
passes on Into the limits of other na
tions.
By the "rock" in the text, the
prophet means to Illustrate the pow
er of Christian character and influ
ence, tq .counteract these . Irreligious
Influences, and protect the spiritual
life of an individual or community
man a innstian charactermay
protect and preserve religious and
righteous impulses and life as the
rock protects the vegetation in the
desert. The great men of the Bible
are men who have had such influence
upon the people of their time, and
have thus become immortalized in
the writings of their nation, by the
influence they have exerted and the
truth they have preserved. Their
lives and their words have become
the enduring monuments that mark
their time.
Moses, by the rock-like endurances
of his character, was able to build
the Israelites into a united religious
nation. Daniel, by the rock-like
siaoimy or his religious purpose.
was able to hold religious principles
before heathen potentates until they
were recognized and admired. Jesus
Christ, by the sympathetic shadow
of his great character, was able to
cover the lives of lost souls and pro
tect them from the drift of selfish,
formal and Intollerant religious thot
of his day.
An Inferential lesson from this
text is that the site of the shadow
depends upon the size of the rock. A
great consistent character has i
great Influence. The combined In
fluence of men. so united with the
presentation of God's truth, that
they stand as one, throws a greater
shadow. A church thoroughly unit
ed In the truth and spirit of Christ
is a mighty influence for good over
any individual or community, and
consequently, when churches stand
close enough together in sympatbet
ic work and purpose, thus present
ing'the shadow of the "Rock of
Ages," without clifts or breaks of
selfishness, for the drifts of ungod
liness to pass thru, are capable of
wellding a mighty Influence for good
over their communities.
Entertains at Slumber Party
Miss Ruth Rice entertained ten of
her girl friends at a slumber party
Saturday night. Watermelon was
served in the evening. In the morn
ing a dainty four-course breakfast
was served.

ly except for a cooling off that some
of the young ladies received early in
the morning, at the hands of one or

den hose lying nearby, attached and
