SEVEN" T.J A TRACTOR SHOW WAS A HUGE SUCCESS The E-D tractor school, helJ Feb ruary 24, 25 and 26 at the Mcllck & Redmon Implement company, was a huge success, both In point of at tendance and Interest shown, as well as in actual sales. The sale of four teen tractors is reported as a direct result of the school, and this is only the b.Rii:n!np. It is probable that several times thnt many will be dis posed of before thj season is through. Every session rf tho school was attended by good crow.ls, a'though the condition of the roads actt i pa a handicap the first day. The couisj was a thorough one, covering every thing from the manufacture of the tractor, to its use In the field. Two reels of film were shown picturing the tractors in actual operating con dition. The course also covered plowing, with explanations of the va rious kinds of plows and the uses to which the ywere best adapted. The following Instructors and sales agents were present duflng the three days: Charles Watts, general salesman with the Fulmer-Johnson Oas Engine company; William O'Connell, general traveler, Mollne Flow company, assisted by Claude Breckenfield, special harvester man, and F. M. McFarland, service man; R, M. Finks, general traveler for B. F. Avery & oSns, Louisville, Ky., as sisted by A. P. Hoehman, special traveler. E. S.

The Brunswick method of reproduction brings out ..tones hitherto lost. Each record is played at its best. Come in and hear the new Brunswick. Then make comparisons. Thiele's J ewelry Watches Drugs 306 Box Butte Avenue IUXl-MIMl WUIIK ON THU STORM KKWKIt C. C. Nichols, engineer In the em ploy of Grant & Fulton, who Is bark on the job in charge of the city's con struction projects, is still a hustler. When Mr. Nichols left Alliance a few weeks ago, It was his Intention to enter business for himself, but the uncertainty of market conditions and a fat raise from the cencern rec onciled him to wait six months be fore carrying out his plans. He will remain in Alliance for the next month or six weeks and get the city's work well under way, after which another engineer will be Bent here. The first work on the program is the storm sewer district. Cement forms have been put In place, and three manholes will be poured to day, at Second and Laramie, Second and Cheyenne and Second and Nio brara. This work will proceed as fast as possible unless cold weather should call a halt. There are thirty four manholes in the storm sewer dlBtrlct. There are, besides the storm sewer project, the sanitary sewer and pav ing districts. Sometime this year 4,120 feet of sanitary sewer will be laid, but construction work has not been started. A force of men is un loading sand for the paving. HERE'S UNTOLD WEALTH FOR II LM WHO FINDS IT Somewhere, among the rock craigs of the Granite range, in Nevada, is a rich vein of gold enough to make several men wealthy, probably waiting to be discovered. City Man ager Smith has in his desk a sample of quartz with a heavy vein of the gold showing plainly, pure gold that Bticks out in little gobs all over it. The city manager was presented with that piece of quartz four years ago by an old prospector with whom he stayed one night while on a sur veying trip in the Granite range, se lecting grazing land for the Gerlach Land & Livestock company of Deep hole, Nev. Mr. Smith used to do considerable surveying in other days, and he says that range is one of the most Bplendid he has ever Been. Plenty of timber, lots of game and hundreds of clear springs. It is an ideal place for a hunting excursion. This prospector found, in ono of the valleys in this range, several samples of this rich quartz, and has spent twenty or more years in a vain effort to find the gold. He is an old man now, and has spent his life look ing for it. Years ago, in some snowstorm or landslide, pieces of the rock were washed down, and there's no clue to the location. An assay of some of the samples shows it to be worth over $20,000 to the ton rich ore, indeed. Ten to fifty tons of It would make a man Independent for life. If you're fond of adventure, it would be a pleasant place to look for a lost gold mine. True, some of the rock walls are a thousand or more feet high, but other folks have spent more time and accomplished as little as the old prospector.

THE MYSTERY LADY By JACK LAWTON. Tint hialilniit. , K. .... i.tll.iitn were excited over her coming. Il wai seldom Hint anything out of the ordi nary happened and there was much Interesting speculation as to her pur pose In staying mining thorn. It whs not os though the arrival had been ! there before, or lunl friends In the vicinity. Neither had she seen the I'ryor place, it b positively known, until the diiy when she alighted from nn afternoon train and walked Idly down the main street. The old vacated house attracted her In passing, for she hud paused before Its broken gate and then walked brisk ly Inside. Miss Peters watching, then saw the lady go over to the hotel where she had been know? to ask questions concerning the owner of the house. Finding that he had long de serted the place for the city she sought out his agent In a grocery store and rented the desolate residence. The new tenant was pretty, Miss Teters admitted. "In nn extreme citi fied sort of way." Certain It proved that the young womnn was "extremely pretty." Also, she msscssed a plenslng manner which charmed the store keepers to whom she went for supplies end Information. "I will need a womnn to help me at once," she said. "Could you suggest some person In your locality?" The grocer was gliid to suggest Ann Trimble, and promptly Ann came. It was a case of mutual admiration from the first. Ann stood In awe be fore her lovely, modish young mistress while Judith Uay smiled into the wrinkled face of the gaunt old woman. "You are exactly the one 1 shall need," she said graciously, "to look after me generally." The taking of the house was an Impulse, Judith Gny explained- The beautiful country had fascinated her bo that she wished to remain to enjoy the fancy while it lasted. "I have deckled to furnish only three rooms," she confided to the formidable Miss Peters. Ann will buy for me what Is needed here In town." And Ann did ; that was the mystery part of It. When n beautiful womnn arrives In an Isolated country village with mere ly a sultcnse for Imggnge, and fur nishes immediately part of a tumble down house for occupancy, there Is surely something unusual In the pro ceeding. "Sunnyvllle" discussing Its new neighbor. In vlne-st-i eened porches, ran the gamut of possibili ties. She might be a female detective on duty, or an actual murderess in hiding. Whatever her secret, the young woman appeared to enjoy herself mightily. She could be heard singing about the tangled gnrden mornings, or chatting amusedly with Ann Trimble on a Bide veranda at twilight. Ann bought many delicacies at the grocery and Judith Gay visited .the austere dressmaker for the purpose of having frocks made of dimity. The stranger looked more charming, If that could be possible. In her new simple frocks, than she bad In the modish gown. "You're like a bit of a girl," Ann 6ald adoringly. "She's an actress, that what she Is," the dressmaker dryly remarked. Sunnyvllle's two unattached men a wife-hunting widower and a wife-shy bachelor, braved the mockery of the town to call upon the mysterious lady. The widower departed discouraged while the sought-after bachelor was decidedly peeved. "She can keep to herself If she Is set on doing It as she Bays,", he an nounced. "I for one won't bother her." Hut thereafter, though he formed a habit of passing many times the old I'ryor bouse, Its mistress continued Joyously bent upon her own society. It was when the distinguished ap pearing man began his visits, that the entire town drew within Itself In shocked surprise. This fine looking stranger was wont to arrive on an early morning train from the city to spend the day with Judith Gay in her garden. Miss Peters beard the girl give a startled cry at bis first comiug, then she had actually seen the man catch the mystery lady close In an embrace. It was scandalous that townspeople must witness such goings on. She hinted caustically at the occur rence when Judith crossed to the hedge. "You're going to marry him of course," said Miss Peters. "Oh! No I'm not," laughed the girl. Then unexpectedly Sunnyvllle was de void of Its one Interest. The Mystery Lady had disappeared. "Left town on the night train with that city fellow," the station agent said. Miss Peters Indignantly sought out Ann Trimble, who was closing up the house doors. "She'll not come back here," said Miss Peters. "She will," Ann replied, "she's gone into the city with her husband to arrange for flxln' this old place op. Seems like she wanted to spend the summer In the country. An' her hus band joked ber about It that she wouldn't dare to. So she cam oo here herself to show him. She's had him address her letters to me, so there'd be no mistake about getting 'em." Ana napped the door shut "Reckon this Is going to be t pretty fine place," she aid proudly, "an reckon I know some folks who won't be Invited to call."
