ALLIANCE IN THE LEAD
Enthusiastic Meeting Held to Further
the City's Interests A Commer
cial Club Organized and the City's
Interests to be Advanced.
"Our town slow ?
Well, I guess not;
What are you a-Urivin' at ?
Don't you know
A man got shot
For sayin' such a thing as that ?"
A lively spirit of push and energy
was apparent at the business men's
meeting held at the opera house last
Monday evening, when Mr. Irving, a
representative of the Municipal Service
league of Chicago was present to out
lino a campaign of "boost" for Alliance.
It will bo remembered that this gentle
man spoke here several days ago on
this subject and outlined their method
of assisting municipalities in pushing
forward their resources and advantages.
Mr. Irving proved conclusively that
their method of procedure and adver
tising were doing a great deal of good
for cities and towns throughout the
west in which their services had been
employed. Their plan is to send out
an expert lecturer and advisor well
versed in municipal progress and thrift.
Then follows a qualified civil engineer
who makes a survey and inspection of
the pity's topographical conditions.
The league then co-operates with the
Commercial club for the advancement
of the city's possibilities and agrees to
lend its assistance for the period of one
year. Eor all of this the league de
mands a fee of $500, to be paid when
the work is fully under way.
The meeting was called to order by
F. M. liroome who briefly outlined the
purpose of the same, after which
Mr. Irving proceeded to explain the
work that could be accomplished by
the .Municipal League and the Commer
cial club.
The question of raising funds was
explained by the speaker. He had in
Lris possession a number of lapel but
ions "booming" cities m which the
,lcague had worked. Mr. Irving sug
gisted that like these the Alliance Com''
mercial club could design a button to

bo disposed of at a dollar a piece,
which make the purchasers mcmbcta
of the club including all its priviligcs,
A nlotion was mado and carried asking
the chairman to call upon those pres
ent as to the number of buttons that
could bo disposed of. It was but a few
mo'iients after when Secretary 1?. W.
Hair is announced a total sum of $570.
This substantial report was greeted
with a storm of applause.
Mt. Irving announced that it would
be well for the soliciting committee to
see other business men and citizens
not present nnd continue the work of
soliciting funds that tho now Commer
cial club may have a surplus in its
treasury with which to purauc its work.
This committee consists of Messrs.
Geo. Darling, Glen Miller, E. H. Boyd,
Fred Young, G. L. Griggs, R. J. Law
rence and Tlios. Deal, who arc at work
and so far havo increased tho I unci to
$goo. Appropriate quarters "will bo
secured for the Commercial club and
the business of the organization con
ducted in the best manner.
Mr. Irving suggested some appropri
ate wording for tho Alliance "boom"
button when a voico from the audience
cried out, "put a 'spud' on it," which
suggestion was at once taken up as a
good thing. It was agreed by Mr. Irv
ing to supply the Commercial club
with a thousand button at no extra
cost.
An organization of the ladies and
school children of Alliance to assist in
tho work of advancing tho city's inter
ests was also suggested and approved
with great applause. Social and musi
cal gathering, banquets and tho like
were considered advisable features.
On motion, J. W. Guthrie was elected
a committee to look after the musicalJ
part of the program and Prof. D. W.
Hayes to conduct the children.
Messrs. D. V. Hayes and C. O.
Aspenwall were called upon to give
what information they could regarding
a state normal school and freight rates.
Mr. Hayes assured tho audience that
tho prospects were decidedly encourag
ing for Alliance. Mr. Aspenwall was
asked as to tho report that the Inter
national Harvester company intended
moving its district offices from this city
to Crawford and the reason therefore.
Tho reply was better railway facilities
and rates. Here is where is where Mr,
Irving suggested tho Commercial club
get busy at once and we understand
this matter is being taken up the har
vester company who has the matter
under advisement. Other industries
and public enterprises which woul'd
JqnpG Alliance were discussed., .,
Mr. Irving stated it would bo tho
first of. August before the Municipal
league could send their lecturer here
-
of
course
but ho promised to hurry matters as
possible.
On motion a temporary organization
was effected ns follows:

Why you wear a smaller
size in a Hanan
The foundation upon whiclfa shoo
is mado is the Inst most shoo man

standard measurement, that's why
so many shoes you wear do not tit,
but are tight in one placo and too
looso in another.
Tho Hanan last is made on a more
enlightened plnn not to so-called
standard measurements, but to Han
an measurements that are based up
on half a century's careful study of
tho trim proportions of tho human
foot.
In Hanan shoes extra room is pro
vided tho big toe joiut tho placo
where most shoes bind,
