Broadwater Chamber of Commerce
Says State Representatives Did
Not View Their Route.
The lively little town of Broad
vater, in the midst of a somewhat
heated discussion as to where the
Bridgeport-Alliance road is to be
'Constructed, is not sitting in the grand
stand watching the playing of the
:game, but has grasped a ball bat and
is out on the field mixing into the
fray. The Broadwater men, who are
:the original road boosters, have done
their part, aside from state and fed
eral aid, to make the G-P-C route be
tween that town and Alliance a real
road. But this isn't all. They are
out to see that the road in question
frets a fair deal in competition with
-the Bridgeport-Alliance road.
This summer, when Alliance road
boosters helped to bring about a set
tlement of the Morrill county dead
lock, a settlement of the difficulties of
that county waa arranged whereby the
commissioners approved the Bridge
port road as route No. 1 and the
Broadwater road as No. 2,. Broad
water's belief beinar that the state en
gineer would be called in to decide as
Wuwn the two routes. It develops,
according to the Broadwater road

Abe state hiehway department, in

that it h. vKi-, Vae most traveled

it is now a Star route and Post road
from Alliance south r.nd east for over
thirty miles. Another is.he distance
from Broadwater to Alliance is only
about 40 miles and is now an open
donated road. Still another, Alliance
is almost directly north of Broadwater,
and the sandhills lay in a northeasterly
direction', and the road after leaving
the table, follows up the valleys in the
sandhills, leaving really only a few
sandy places, and magnesia for sur
facing purposes very close at hand.
"With all these things in favor of
this road, the county commissioners
were asked to desigate this route for
State and Federal aid. Bridgeport,
being the county seat, and the strong
factor in the rival road, North Star
road, also asks the county commis
sioners to designate the North Star
route for aid, notwithstanding the
fact, they had not as yet secured their
right-of-way and their route was some
25 miles farther around. The county
commissioners finally designated the
North Star as road No. 1 for State aid
and the G. P. C. highway from Broad
water to Alliance as road No. 2 for
State aid. leaving the decision to the

The matter of telephone rates con
tinues to be discussed in Alliance, al
though the state railway commission,
by order, continued the status quo un
til January 27, at which time there
will be another hearing. The commis
sion has announced that other cities
than Alliance may ask for figures con
cerning investment and revenues of
their exchanges. The twenty-five or
more towns in which an increase has
been requested have organized a com
mittee, and some of them, at least, are
employing legal talent on a contingent
fee, that is, pay nothing unless the
company is routed. In Alliance, City
Manager Kemmish and P. E. Romig,
who represented the Alliance chamber
of commerce at the hearing last week
in Lincoln, have been placed in charge
of preparing Alliance's showing.
City Manager Kemmish has already
receivded the data contemplated by the
Alliance franchise, and is now engaged
in going over the figurea and getting
ready to prepare the case against the
company. He has as yet made no out
line of the course he intends to take,
and probably will not until he is ready
to go before the state railway com
mission.
In the meantime the discussion con
tinues. A week aeo only a few men
were talking county telephone com
nanv. and now the number has in
creased considerably.

Urpes That Community Building Be
One of the Firt-t Projects Put
Across by the Public.
City Manager N. A. Kemmish was
the speaker at the Wednesday dinner
of . the Alliance Rotary club at the
Palm Room of the Alliance hotel. Mr.
Kemmish spoke on "Boys' Work,"' and
emphasized the fact that there is a
need in Alliance not only for more
opportunities for recreation, but also
for supervision during hours of
play, which he considered fully as
important. J
Alliance has no Y. M. C. A., and
no agency that in any sense takes its
place, the speaker declared. In other
cities the Y. M. C. A. fills an impor
tant place in boy life, furnishing them
with several kinds of recreation.
The Boy Scout organization came in
for considerable praise, but the chief
drawback to this, it was said, is that
it reaches so few boys. There is but
one active troop in the city. The pres
ent scout master is an ideal man for
boy leadership, but the difficulty
is the lack of men who will take the
troops and organize and lead new
ones. Boys, Mr. Kemmish declare!,
are clannish, and the older ones ob
ject to associating with their younger
brothers in the Fame organization.
He declared that a great need wa3
more troops, and a thorough training
in the Scout principles.
There is also a. great need for a
Jilace where boys may meet and en
oy themselves. The present Scout
club house is ideal for the purpose lor
which it was constructed, and is ad-
uuvtrxiivi A,vA;i - .

Basketball Team
, Won Victories on
Its Holiday Trip
Prospects for a winning team for
the local high school seem to be bright
this year as the team is meeting with
great success on the annual ip dur
ing the holidays!
After defeating Hyannis, 4C to 19,
the locals fell before the fast Ravenna
pnstimers, 27 to 17. They then took
the measure of Anslev 20-13, Aurora
4(5-19, College View 32 to 14, Green
wood by the close score of 25 to 21 and
Havelock 31 to 1!).
Either tonight or Saturday night the
boys play Lincoln high. Lincoln is
credited with having one of the strong
est teams in the state, having had a
strong team last year and losing few
men by graduation. If the Alliance
boys can defeat them they may be
ranked as one of the strongest teams
in the. state.
From comparative scores Ravenna
and Greenwood would seem to be the
strongest teams met. This is doubtful
in the case of Greenwood but is prob
ably true for Ravenna' as this team
won the championship of class C last
ycltr and has practically the same
team this year.
From the victories on this trip Alli
ance will probably be in class A at
the tournament this year.
After Dlavinir Lincoln the team will
return on Sunday in time for the re
opening of school after the holidays.

JOLLIES OF 1 922
PROVED A BIG HIT
THURSDAY NIGHT
AMERICAN LEGION PLAYERS.
SCORE A SUCCESS.
Second and Last Performance of All
Home Talent Show to Be Given
at the Imperial Tonight.
"The Jollies of 1922", an all horn
talent production by the members of
Allinnce post No. 7 of the American
I-egion, which gave the first aoDear
ance at the Imperial theater last night,
made a decided hit with the good
sized crowd that assembled to see th
legions funmakers in action. Tha
show was produced unjler the direction,
of the Joe Bren company of Chicago,
with Chris Ming and Joe Iverson aa
directors. The rehearsals got away t
a late start, but with two directors on
the job the cast was whipped into fin
shape in the short time. Ihe show
was one of the most successful eve
produced by an amateur cast in A1U
ance, several of the members getting
by sufficiently well to be classed witn
the professionals.
The performance consisted of two
acts and four scenes. The first act

Later one of them changed his mind

that was needed was a little coaxing,
but when County Attorney Basye went

only advantages to having them plead
