Ilemingford Ledger:
The meeting held last Friday wan
welli attended, about 30 ladies from
Alliance being here, coming on 41
that morning.
The session was opened at 10. 30 by
the president, Mrs Wm. Kosket. and
the program published was pretty
well carried out, though sme dele
gates from awey, were unable to be
present, their places on the program
being well carried out by others out
in the spur of the moment.
In the forenoon, Mrs. Vance talk
ed on Parliamentary usages and then
conducted a Round Table In which
there was much discussion concern
ing the new prohibition law, Mrs.
Vance giving some very interesting
farts about it.
At the noon hour a Cafateria lunch
was served in the basement and an
enjoyable social hour was had.
The secretury somehow failed in
giving us an outline of What was dono
in the afternoon, but we heard from
enough to believe that it was a most
profitable time.
In the evening some of us maleW.
C. T. U's. were present ana watched
how the ladles were holding out.
Mrs. Paul Armstrong gave a solo in
which we realized we have a soprano
vice now in our midst of much more
than ordinary ability. Mrs. J. W.
Reed of Alliance read the report of
the delegates from Western Nebras
ka to the National meeting and which
was full of trite information. This
was followed by an instrumettol ren
dering by a young lady from Alliance
we did not learn her name, which was
well received.
The address of the evening was by
Mrs. Layton of Alliance, and was
timely and inspiring. At its close the
silver offering was taken up, amount
ing to a little less than $30. and the
gathering scattered to their homes
the ladies from Alliance going on 42,
which was stopped here for their accommodation.

PLANT AT I.ISCO
Oshkoslt iletrald:
K. M. Klderd, proprietor of Nebras
ka's biggest cattle ranch, was down
from the lakes country Wednesday
transacting business at the county
seat. Mr. Kldred wo understand has
ban an analysis made of the waters
of some of his numerous lakes and
tinds that they contain potash in pay
ing quantities, and is considering pip
ing the water to I.isco and erecting
a potash evaporating plum there.
The potash industry is getting to be a
big thing in the lakes country to the
north of us. but so fur the business
has been confined entirely to the sec
tion of the country tributary to the
Burlington railroad, although the
Platte valley would seem to be the
most natural outlet for the industry,
as the altitude is lower, and, there
fore, the water would not have to be
pumppd but could be syphoned, to
the evaporating plant, which must, of
course, be located on the railroad. If
the project is carried out Lisco will be
the big town in the county one of
these days unless Oshkosh and Iewel
len wake up and do likewise. And
why not? There are any number of
potash bearing lakes to the north of
us which could be syphoned down
here and made to pay big dividends.
We hope that Mr. Kldred will start
the ball to rolling. It may wake up
somebody else.
