Along-term lease has been secured

building, formerly occupied by Mill

the work of remodeling will begin at

While the present building serves
for the regular programs. It Is too
small when specials are offered, and
it was necessary to find larger quar

stalled In the new home, and a great
amount of scenery will be Installed,
much of which will be the work of
Mr. Willis, who Is now at work on a
number of original designs.
The front of the building will be
entirely remodeled and a large arch
Installed. For about ten feet back
from the front the floor will be per
fectly level, after which It makes a
gradual Incline to the front.
The stage will be large enough for
any of the smaller vaudeville troupes
on the road, and Messrs. Cramer and
Willis stated that they would get
some good companies here from time
to time.
Everything will, be tn readiness
for the Stockmen's Convention.
RECEIVED MORE REOS
Six New "Fours" Received last Week
by the I -oral Dealer, J.
L. Nicholal
Considerable automobile fever was
stirred up last Saturday when six
shiny new Reo "fours" paraded up
and down Box Butte avenue, accom
panied by the shrill blasts of klaxon
horns. An Investigation revealed
the fact that these cars had Just been
received by J. L. Nicholal, the local
dealer, and that he was pulling off a
little advertising stunt.
Before starting on the parade, the
cars were lined In front of the Reo
garage and photographed. Mr. Nich
olal made several demonstrations
with the one he was driving, starting
It on "high", and carelessly (on
purpose) shifting gears. The most
severe test was that of getting up a
speed of twenty miles an hour and
quickly throwing the gear Into re
verse, this being a test that the Reo
people invite. Three of the new
cars have already been disposed of.

SUCCESSFUL ROOSTER TRIP
Seventeen Auto Loads (Jo from Alli
ance to Chadron to Advertise
Stockmen's Convention
It was a live bunch of boosters
that started out from Alliance Mon
day morning on the Crawford-Chad-ron
booster trip, even though the
sky was over cast and there were
plenty of signs of rain In the air.
Seventeen autos composed the com
pany, and almost one good-sized load
of advertising was taken along and
distributed. .
The schedule was carried out all
the way, and had It not been for sev
eral of the cars sustaining minor
mishaps, they would have been In
Alliance on the' return at about 9
o'clock.
The bunch was met a short dist
ance outside of Crawford by several
auto loads of Crawford boosters, who
escorted them Into town where the
band was playing and colors were
flying in honor of the guests. After
driving over Crawford they were
taken to Ft. Robinson, where they
were entertained a few minutes by
the military band. At Chadron they
were also met enthusiastically by
the business men, and In every town
everyone seemed to be talking of the
Stockmen's Convention and making
plans for atetndlng. -
Not all that went from here were
men. The women were but slightly
In the minority, and they proved
themselves equal to the men when It
came to boosting; In fact, some of
the men were compelled to put on
more steam to keep up with the
weaker sex.
Everyone feels that the trip was a
decided success, and that such trips
not only serve better than anything
else in advertising an event of the
convention's nature, and that they
also cause a more friendly feeling
between neighboring towns.
The second trip occurs today, the
boosters starting for Scottsbluff at
7:30. This is one of the shortest
and many more are going this time
than went on the first one.

A M re by (lark A. Fulmer
SIMPLE GOWNS MARKED EVENT
The commencement exercises of
the Senior class of the Alliance high
school, which were held last Friday
evening In the Phelan opera house,
marked the close of the school year
entertainment activities.
Thirty-three of Alliance's finest
young men and women received their
diplomas, this being the largest
graduating class In the history of
the school.
The inspiring address by Chancel
lor Fulmer of the Nebraska Wesley
an University, together with the mu
sical numbers by home talent, mark
ed It as an evening that will live
long, not only in the minds of the
graduates, but with those that took
advantage of the opportunity to at
tend. It was Indeed a fitting close
to a most successful school year.
Chancellor Fulmer spoke of the
remarkable advances that have been
made In all lines during the paat
few years, taking as his subject,
"What the World Is Now Demanding
of a Man". The subject was a strong
one, and was ably handled. The
speaker gave several Illustrations of
the advantages of superior knowl
edge among which was the subways
In the cities, and the great tunnel
beneath the Detroit river. He de
plored the tendency of the present
generation to overlook these great
changes, and Us seeming indifference
made an adjustment to this state of
affairs. Too many people, In this
day of speculation, try to be Jacks-of-all-trades
Instead of confining
their activities to one line and stay
ing with It. As examples he called
attention to the manner In which
specialization bad supplanted gener
alization in the medical world.
A plea was made for college edu
cation, In order that the young peo
ple may go Into the business world
and make their mark. "When a
man or woman is satisfied with his
or her present attainments, his use
fulness to the world Is past. Many
young people do not try for a college
education on account of poverty.
This, according to Chancellor, Is no
handicap compared with some other
difficulties. As an example he re
counted the story of Edgar Hale, of
Kearney, who has been a helpless
cripple since boyhood, and who,
'without money, made his way thru
school and Is now completing his sec
ond year In the Nebraska Wesleyan.
Hattie Renswold, S. L. Clements,
Paul Thomas and Carl Thomas com
posed the Mozart quartet that open
ed the program, followed by an in
.vocation by Rev. A. T. Eller. Miss
, Burnett and Miss Smalley rendered
a pleasing duet, the accompaniment
being played by Miss Beulan Smith
Stage decorations were In class col
or purple and white.
, A, J. Macy presented the diplomas
after giving a brief review of the
progress made by the Alliance
schools during the past few years.
He remarked that he would like to
see the time come when credits
would be given students for work
done in stores, machine shops and of
fices, and other vocational lines.
I For the first time in the Alliance
schools, the graduates were dressed
in simple gowns and caps, which
makes a pleasing and a sensible con
trast to the former dresses, on which
some students put all manner of
frills. It is hoped that the custom
Inaugurated this year will prove a
permanent one. Following were the
graduates from the high school:

PUMP IRRIGATION
State Engineer Here Wednesday wttfc
View to Installing Experi
mental Station
State Engineer L. W. Chase spent
Wednesday in Alliance and the sur
rounding territory looking over the
prospects for pump irrigation in Box
Butte county. The last state leels-
Jlature passed a law appropriating
$7,600 to be used for this purpose,
la similar amount to be paid by the
j towns or counties taking up the pro
' position.
Sidney and Alliance were the only
towns asking for a share In the ap-
proprlatlon. Mr. Chase stated that
work will be started on an expert
I mental pumping plant and well Just,
as soon as possible. In company7
I with E. T. Kibble. C. A. Newberry,
j the county commissioners and oth
ers, Mr. Chase visited a number of
j farms in the county. The site where
the first well will be tried out ha
' not yet been definitely selected.
Mr. Chase stated that the matter
was of course an experiment in Box
Butte county and that he would not
predict success In all parts of the
county. In some parts the water
sheet lies in very fine sand which
would make pumping extremely dif
ficult, while In other parts the water
lies In coarse sand which would be.
easier handled.
The proposition of pump Irrigation
will be given a thorough tryout dur
ing the season. If it proves a suc
cess It will mean much more Intens
ive cultivation of the soil.
