Western Car Orders
for Cattle Show Big
Decrease This Month
"Our information from the Wet
rould indicate that the movement of
western cattle to market is in its final
rUges," naicl E. E. Grimes, joint agent
for the various railways at Omaha,
Car orders have shown a considerable
decrease, as far as cattle are concern
ed, and it looks like another two weeks
will bring to an end the main move
ment from western ranges. Car
orders at the cattle loading stations of
Wyoming are 75 per cent lens than
Ihey were a month ago.
"Quite a few sheep are still moving
ut of Wyoming, from range to feed
lot and from range to market. Colo
Tado Is not getting very many lamb.i
the West this year, of course, but
there seems to have been a substan
tial inrrase in the feed-lot demand,
according to recent reports from some
f the western districts."
In connection with the movement of
the cattle to the Missouri river ami
Chicafro this fall, it might also be
noted that numerous western ship
ments are being diverted to the west
ern court. Coastal buyers have been
operating in Utah and Idaho lately
and it is rumored that they are paying
Missouri river prices for what cattle
they need.

"I'm corry I missed the weekly

Alliance and Box Butte county are
to receive some favorable publicity

potato digging and snipping. These
photos will be used in connection with
a number of articles which are to be
written for eastern farm perlodxals
find newspapers; during the winter
This publicity will have the elleet of
bringing into the county new settlers
with n consequent increase in farm
land values. This will naturally have
its effect on Alliance and its influence

FESTIVAL DAY IN
ALLIANCE A SUCCESS
(Continued from Page 1.)
The squaw race for the greased pig
was one of the big events of the day.
The crowd surged in about the squaws
and the big and th eanimal didn t
have-much opportunity to run. Mary
Whitebelly. handicapped by the ab
sence of one eye, was the first one of
the women to get a grasp at the ant
inal. She held on until some of her
sisters stepped all -over her face in
their scramble to get the animal, and
the nip made one last leaD for lib'
erty. Before he had gone thirty feet,
however, the crowd and the squaws
effected the capture. When the judges
approached they found all six of the
squaws hanging on to the animal, and
most of them covered with lard. Mary
was given th edecision, but it is prob
able that after the pig was taken out
to the camp, it was the Indian braves
who got to eat the animal.
Business Was Good.
Reports from the forty or more
business men who furnished the cash
to stage the festival are to the effect
that Saturday was one of the best bus
iness days of the year. Practically
eery business house in the city took
especial pains to attract customers,
tmd it has been months since there
were fo many bargains offered to the
public. There was hardly a line of
merchandise on which special prices ;
were not made, and the visitors t how-;
ed that they were just as willing to
Fiend money for merchandise as in,
times past they have been willing to
patronize the carnivas, concessions and
other amu.-cnirnts. j
The offer of free tickets on the Ford
automobile with every dollar's worth j
of merchandise sold proved to be a !
regular feature. There were thou- j
sands of tickets given away and the
demand for them continued up to the
utt hour they were available, liood
business wus not confined to any one
line of business. The crowd purchas
ed tires and notions, as well as cloth
ing and jewelry. The special sales put
on by several merchants proved splen
did drawing cards.

New Series Automobile
Numbers Received by
the County Treasurer
The new automobile numbers have
arrived .and County Treasurer F. W.
Irish is now waiting only for the ar
rival of receipt books to begin issu
ing them. Under the new law passed
by the last session of the legislature
each county haa a distinctive number
which is used as a prefix to the num
ber of the car. Box Butte county has
been assigned io. 05, and the auto
mobiles in this county will run from
No. 6T 1 to 05 1500. From now on
automobiles will carry two numbers,
one at the front and another at the
rear. Mr. Irish has ordered 1500 sets
of numbers for automobiles, 150 for
tiucks, 10 for motorcycles and 10 for
trailers.
The new numbers will be issued
about the first of November, and a
big scramble for the low numbers is
expected to ensue.

Complain of Sales
Tactics of Photo
Enlargement Agents
Complaint was made to County At
torney Basye this afternoon of the
sales tactics employed by a firm en
gaged in selling photo enlargements
bv agents in a house to house canvas.
The complaint was made by a railroad
man, who said that on August 13,
1021, an agent came to his home anil
asked his wife for a photograph which
w as to be enlarged The agent did not
ask for an order for the enlargement,
but explained that an exhibition of
25 to October 1, and that if the work
to be held in this city from September
enlargements of Alliance people was
was satisfactory, an opportunity would
be offered to purchase the enlarged
picture after the exhibition.
September 25 and October 1 both
passed, but no exhibition was held. A
day or two ago a second representa
tive of the company came to the city.
He delivered the pictures, and pre
sented a signed contract. The rail
roader has the dpulicate in his posses
sion, and it is unsigned. He has re
fused to pay the price, $7.90, and the
agents are threatening and bully
ragging him in an effort to make him
come through. They complain, he
told the county attorney, that the rea
son the exhibition was never held was
that the man who was to stage it was
taken suddenly ill.
