REDDISH FAVORS
STEM HEATING
Akmance Rtiniuess Man Returned
Tuesday from an Kitended
Western Trip
F. E. Reddish. Alliance capitalist
and business man, returned Tuesday
noes from an extended northwestern
trip, taking a month of time. He
(rent quite a large portion of this
time on Ms fruit ranch near Eugene,
Oregon He was well pleased with
sonditions so far as the crops are
concerned, but says that financial
eoadltions are dull, business In most
line being slow.
Mr. Reddish also spent some time
at Newport, Oregon, a widely known
Pacific coast summer resort He
bronght home with him a half pint
of peppermint which was distilled by
a man who has nine acres of this
rep on a farm adjoining. The pep
permint crop is good but the price is
lower this year than formerly, on ac
count of the fact that the Germans
have always been great consumers
a ad that avenue of consumption is
now cut off. Many of the growers
are holding their supply for delivery
after the war. The profits on pep
permint range from $50 to $200 per
acre. Judging from the extremely
strong taste of the supply which be
bronght home, the article as it is re
tailed must be adulterated to a con
siderable extent,
Mr. Reddish has considerable fruit
on his farm and brought back with
him two fine pears grown there, as
samples. They are beauties. Eng
lish walnuts are being rained to a
considerable extent. As it takes
eight years for the walnut trees to
mature and bear, peach trees are us
ually planted between the rows and
make a paying crop while waiting for
the more valuable crop of nuts. A
college professor living nearby has a
very fine peach orchard and the yield
1; excellent, it being necessary to
prop many of the trees to keep them
from breaking with the yield. The
plana trees are overloaded and the
prone industry is quite a factor.
Mach of the fruit raised is shipped
through the growers' associations to
Mew York and Chicago markets.
Other coast points were visited in
the. northwest. He did not visit the
fair at San Francisco as he was there
hi the winter, shortly after it opened.
Investigated Heating Systems '
While on the trip Mr. Reddish took
particular paina to investigate the
proposition of city heating wltb
waste steam from electric light
plants. This proposition is being
seriously considered for Alliance and
after much investigation he Js strong
ly la favor of it.
He stopped off at Cheyenne, where
Met of the business portion of the
town and considerable - of the resi
dence portion is heated 'by steam
from a privately owned electric light-
teg and power plant The plant
there la owned by the Cheyenne
Light, Fuel Power Company, of
watch C. A. Semrad la manager.
Mr. Semrad very courteously gave
Mr. Reddish , much Information re
garding the plant and took him on a
tear of the system. Among other
things ascertained by Investigation,
Mr Reddish found that the barbers
ase the steam for heating the water
Med In the barber shops by means of
team coils. The owner of a three
eaalr barber shop stated that his
Mat for this purpose was only $2.50
per month and that he wouldn t ban
die the dirt and ashes of the coal
heating proposition for that amount,
ts aay nothing of the cost of the
aoaJL The Cheyenne company makes
good money at the low rates charged,
as the most of the expense was the
Initial cost of laying the steam mains
and Installing the equipment (radi
ators, etc) In the buildings served.
The manager of the Plains hotel,
the largest In Wyoming, ras an en
thusiastic booster for the proposi
ti a. He furnishes hot water to ev
ery room and for all hotel purposes,
at a cost of only $5 per month. The
oat of heat la the winter of course
Is higher than this, but is much more
seasonable than it would be with a
farnace or steam heating plant for
ta building.
Lincoln has many buildings which
are heated with steam furnished by
the street car company. Sidney has
heat for Its downtown buildings, fur
nished by a private company which
has the electric lighting system.
Crawford has a private system. All
of these systems have been stated to
he good, paying propositions to both
the owners and the users.
Mr. Reddish has lived In Box
Batte county for more than a quar
ter of a century and has seen both
good and bad years for crops, but af
ter an auto ride Tuesday evening out
through the country surrounding Al
liaaee, be stated to friends that he
was amazed at the wonderful crops
raised here this season. He Is more
than ever pleased with Box Butte
ceanty and believes that It esnnot be
beaten.
HAD SOME TRIP
AXUance Buslneae Man Made - Auto
Trip with Family Through
East and Booth
W. C. ("Bill") Mounts, Alliance
aatness man, returned with his fam
ily ust Thursday evening from a trip
whleh took six weeks, going by auto
to points In Iowa, Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska. "Bill" Is not
much of a conversationalist, but he
has broken loose several times since
his return and told his friends of Just
a portion of the trials and tribula
tions of an auto trip through the
effete and flooded east.
Not more than three days of sun
shine were experienced on the entire
trip. Rain was the rule and he
nearly contracted a severe case of
"webfeetls" from constant wading In
the water.
Bill" has a good car and is a good
driver and mechanician, but he was
stumped a number of times by the
difficulty of making his Regal serve
as a motor boat instead of an auto.
At one time he had to pay $25 for
three teams to pull him six miles
across a Hooded river bottom.
At another time be was compelled
to ferry across a river. The ferry
was small and did not much more
than hold the auto. It was propell
ed by a Bmall motor boat In which
the ferry owner rode. The wind was
high and the waves seemed higher.
When about half-way across the fer
ryman lost his propeller and for six
hours they drifted about until rescu
ed. A river steamer didn't know
their helplessness and came near
running them down.
At another place they came to a
sea of mud and had to pay toll to
the tune of about five bucks to a man
who "happened" to be handy with a
good strong team. Stopping at a
farm house shortly afterwards Bill
Inquired of the farmer who the han
dy man was with tho team. "Oh,"
replied the farmer, "he is our road
overseer and makes fifty or sixty dol
jars a aay naming strangers tnrougn
that mud hole.
Bill is back at the old stand aVatn
looking about the same as usual. His
call of "next" sounds just as grouchy
as ever but his hand is Just as steady
except when some cuss mentions the
pleasures of an auto trip In the flood
ed east.

TO CHILDREN'S HOME
FlfUe-Year-Old Emma Morava Is
Taken to Omaha by Order
of the County Co art
The custody of Emma Morava, a
fifteen-year-old girl, was turned over
to the Nebraska Child Saving Society
Wednesday afternoon by Judge Ber
ry. The matter was conducted
quietly, and the girl accompanied
Miss Forester, a representative of the
society, willingly.
For some time past Police Matron
Betty Sharp has kept a watchful eye
,on the girl, and had seen that she
was railing into evu associations
Little could be dous for her on this
account, as she did not , to real
ize the path on which slu was start
ing. A short time ago it was found
that the girl was in need of medical
attention, and It was then that Mrs.
Sharp took the matter up with the
Child Saving Society, the county
commissioners and the county Judge.
Miss Muriel Forester came to Alli
ance at once, and shortly after arriv
ing had a heart-to-heart talk with
Miss Morava. Miss Forester found
at once that the girl was. not really
bad at heart. She had made the
struggle to keep from temptation,
but her efforts were unsuccessful and
she fell. Since then she had been
steadily going fro mbad to worse un
til the matter was taken up by Mrs.
Sharp. It will be remembered that
Miss Moravek's sister, Anna Blume,
committed suicide here about two
months ago by taking carbolic acid.
The unfortunate girl will be well
cared for by the Child Saving Soci
ety, and will be given every possible
attention that will prove beneficial
to her morally and physically. This
society Is affiliated with the national
organisation, and has cared for more
than 1,300 children during its exist
ence thus far, and 95 per cent of this
number have made good, being en
tered In well-to-do and respected
families over the slate. Miss For
ester Informed a Herald reporter
that the society figures there are one
tenth of the homes In the state that
are childless, and that a proper home
can be secured for every unfortunate
boy and gtrl who is placed with the
society,
Mrs. Sharp traveled about 100
miles by automobile, and nearly as
far by rail in securing the relinquish
ments of the relatives of the girl, ho
that she could be placed where she
would be given individual attention,
and It is surely a creditable bit of
work on the part of the police ma
tron, who has accomplished so much
good during her brief term in office
and who has enlarged plans for her
future work. City and county of
ficials are co-operating with her in
her efforts, and it is concerted action
that accomplishes the most good.
Had Miss Morava been sent to the
reformatory, the stigma would have
been one that never wears off, and
little good would be accomplished.
New Barber Shop
J. J. Kelnkober yesterday opened
for business his new barber shop in
the Herald building. The opening
of the shop has been delayed some
time on account of some of the fix
tures falling to arrive, but now that
they have been set up and placed, the
new shop has a very inviting appear
ance and will probably receive its
share of the business. All the ma
terial is just out of the factory, and
Mr. Reinkober says it will be his
aim to keep the furnishings looking
just as nice all the time as they do
now, and that he will always keep
the place clean and sanitary. He
has had a number of years' experl
ence in the barber business, and. up
on selling out at Sioux City, la., de

ARRESTED GAMBLERS
Two Nejrroea and Three White Meu
nlterrupted In Very Absorbing
Game Tuesday Evening
George Curtis and Solley Woods
colored, and Charles West, Harry
Gardner and P. B. Davis, white men,
were arrested Tuesday night at the
home of Woods for gambling. Curtis
was fined $50; Wods, $75. and the
three others got off for $10 and
costs. The two negroes are languish
ing In the county Jail, and the white
men are assisting, the city with its
street work. Curtis and Woods were
tried in the Justice court, and Gard
ner, West and Davis in the city
court.
Chief Jeffers noticed the five men
going toward the Woods house, and
his suspicions were aroused. Secur

they went to the house, and, lo and
behold, when they peeped through a
, window, the gamblers were In plain
view and had the cards and stakes on
the table. For about fifteen min
utes the officers viewed the scene. Fi
nally, becoming tired of "watchful
waiting," Jeffers directed Burns to
go around to the front door and rap.
The chief stood at the window in the
meantime, and when Burns gave the
rap there was a concerted movement
on the part of the gamblers to de
stroy all traces of the night's work.
Gathering up the cards and the
stakes (which, by the way, did not
exceed the speed limit) all but

great big, free Labor Day celebration,
Is going to be pulled off. Just be

events not mentioned on the big bills.
One of these will be a baby con

This contest not only Includes single
babies, but twins as well, and if suet
thing should happen that rtlpleta
should be exhibited, a very suitable
prise will be added. Further than,
that, Secretary Fisher has not said.
Then there will be two good ball
games, and possibly more. One of
them will be between the Alliance
Christians aud the llemlngford Meth
odists. The other will be between.
the farmers and the business men.
Ray Butler, the phenomenal boy
pitcher of Alliance, will play with tho
Christians. This Is the young man
who has won 13 out of 15 games. If
llemlngford wins Monday's game,
they will be tied with the Christians;
If the Christians win it will bo their
deciding game, so It promises to be a
hard-fought game until the very last
inning. The farmers' lineup Is not
available, but the city team will bo

Harper, F. J. Brennan, Earl Mallery,
L. 11. Hlghlund, George Duncan and
H. Ksisay. IFillle King will be water

that both sides wear distinctive uni
forms, and this plan may be carried
out. The matter must soon be set-

held at the city hall. As this is the
last meeting, everything will be def-,.
inltely decided and a complete list of
the events and prizes will be made..
From all the surrounding towns-
comes the news that they will all bo
represented. It is seldom that any
town offers such a varied list of at
tractions or such a large amount ot
prize money without charging an ad
mission, but Alliance business men
decided they would prove to the
farmers that they don't want to make-
money oat of every celebration that
is beld here.
Chairman Highland of the enter

there will ho a check stand on Labor-

Indians Predict Bad Weather
Old-time Indians in Oklahoma say

been abnormally cool and wet, tha
migration of birds has already start
ed, and that a dozen other signs,
which, according to the aborigines,
never fail, and all. go to forecast a
severe winter. The full-blood Cher

making unusual preparations for
winter. For the first time in years
they have stored up a surplus of fuel
