Watkins & Feagins'
New Real Estate Office
One o( tho most extensive and best
furnished real estate offices in this
part of the west is that of Watkins &
Feagins' the real estate and live stock
men, who occupy a suite of five rooms
over Miller Brothers' china and ftirnl
turo store on the cast side of Box Butte
avenue. These gentlemen formerly
had their office in tho Rumor block, as
The Herald readers know, but after
tho fire a couple of weeks ago they were
without an office until they secured the
above mentioned rooms. No pains or
expense will bo spared to make their
new offico as convenient for tho trans
action of business as modern appliances
and plenty of room can make it, be
sides which its location and furnishings
will bo such as to make it a popular
nlacc for their many friends to while
away a pleasant hour occasionally.
Electric lights have been installed and
they retain the same telephone num
ber that they had in their former office,
No. 312.
Chase Feagins, son of the junior
member of the firm, has been helping
to arrange tho details of the new offico
and get everything ready for business.
However, he has plenty of other work
and business to look after and has been
morcly helping a little in this matter on
the Bide. As a member of the Black
foot Investment company of Blackfoot,
Idaho, he has secured an immense
amount of business during the last few
months, much of it coming from Ne
braska Since the first of last October
this company has sold more than 4,000
acres of irrigated land, most of it being
their own, although they do some real
estate brokerage business.
Another New Feature
Another new and attractive depart
ment has been added to the Herald
this week. The American Press Asso
ciation has prepared, and has in tho
course of 'preparation, a series of illus
trated articles on modern architecture,
In the preparation of theso articles tho
services of a number of the best archi
tects of America have been employed,
.which insure the reliability of the plans
knd specifications. The estimate of
cost may vary in different parts of tho
country on account of differences in
cost of material and labor.
The Herald has secured the exclusive
use for this part of Nebraska of theso
timely articles, tho first of which we
are publishing in this issue. People
who build houses want them modern,
not only in tho matter of conveniences,
but also in appearance. Those who
make use of the plans presented in the
Herald can bo sure that they aro ac
cording to the styles of buildings now
being constructed in the Inrger cities.
The one for this week is a cottage of
bungalow style, similar in appearance
to the residence of Roy Bcckwith re
cently completed on Toluca avenue in
Alliance. Next week we will present
the plans for a two story residence of
different style of architecture.
If you contemplate building within
the next year or two, we suggest that
you preserve the copies of the Herald
containing these articles. They will
be valuable to you

dist church tying the nuptial knot.

A Coming Captain
of Finance
'
v
' Under the caption, "The Financial
Captains of Tomorrow," Pearson's
Magazine for May pays a glowing tri
bute to a Nebraskan, Paul Morton,
whose influence has be,en felt in re
cent years in Wall Stre"et- Following
is an extract from the article;
Although the latest comer perhaps
in the camps of the money captains,
not one of the comlW Cabinet repre
sents a larger po we than Paul Morton,
or embodies in himself such distinctive
qualities of leadership. Aside from
the prestige of his otllctnl position as
president of tho Kqullablo Life, ha is
regarded as the Inheritor of much of
the power of Thomas F. Rynn. In
fact he is now Mr. Ryan's most trusted
ndvlsor and lieutenant in all things,
and to the fullest extent that Is possl
bio without Interfering with his Equi
table duties. Mr. Kyan is said to bo
unloading 011 his wide shoulders tho
responsibilities from which ho now
seeks separation. There nro shrewd
men In Wall Street who believe that
within five years Paul Morton will rep
resent a combination of capital that
will mnku him one of the foremost fig
ures in American finance.
Though ho would bo the last to ad
mit or even suggest it, Mr. Morton is
given credit for having carried the
light of publicity and fair dealing into
New York's financial district and made
it a torch by which others are finding
their way back to forgotten paths.
Born of the rich free soil of the West,
he is a Westerner all over. Up to his
advent into the big financial game the
Westerners there were plungers. He
brought constructive conservatism.
Uo Is sparing of words, but with an
Intellect set on hair trigger and a mind
that knows neither fear nor fronzy. In
brief, he supplies a balance that Wall
Street needs, for no othor group of in
telligent men in the world Is so sua
ccptlblojto silly rumors and senseless
fears.
Boforo he had been In tho Equitable
a week the word was puBsed around
among his subordinates: "Don't take a
case to tho now chief unless you know
all about It, for he will keep on asking
why' until he gets to tho bottom of It,
and If you don't know tho last answer
you will bo In a bad way."
Sold Some Shoes
The fire sale of shoes at the Alliance
Shoe Store, advertised in The Herald last
week and by means of bills printed at this
office, opened Friday morning as had been
announced. It looVed for a while as
though just about everybody needed shoes.
Within two days (Friday and Saturday)
footwear to the amount of $1,350 was sold.
That's going some, even for Alliance, the
city that is becoming noted for doing busi
ness on a large scale.
There still remain many bargains in this
fire sale and the time for the closing there
of has been extended to Saturday night of
this week. rwwvwwwv.
Ladies' Auxiliary Organized
A Ladies' Auxiliary circle of the
Woodmen of the World was organized

Patented Pitman
John A. Wilson, the inventor from
Marple, Nebr., was in Alliance Monday
on business pertaining to application
for patent in Canada of bis newly in
vented pitman, which has recently been
patented in the United States. In
some descriptive circulars, which The
Herald has printed for Mr. Wilson, he
claims that his invention is "an ad
justable pitman that saves half the
power, doubles the life of a machine,
and saves a large percentage ol the
breakage." We have uot examined
the appliance sufficiently to express an
opinion as to its utility, but we under
stand that the International Harvester
company and other implement manu
facturers are trying to secure posses
sion of the patent, which is a good in
dication that it has merit.

Assurance Society ot New York. Mr.
Morton is a Nebraska product, who
has made the financiers of the east
"sit up and take notice" and according
to good judges is the coming "Strong

was one of the many callers at The

com growing in Box Butte county, and
he informed us that his corn last year
averaged twenty-eight bushels per acre,
good, sound corn, and that his yield
for the last six or seven years has not
been less than twenty-five bushels per
acre. When price of land, amount of
work necessary to produce the crop,
etc., are taken into consideration, this
is more piofitable than corn grown
farther east, where the price of land is
higher and more work necessary to
produce the crop.
Annual Contest

Alliance is certainly fortunate in se
curing the annual contest of the Ne
braska High School Declamatory

tickets may be exchanged for reserved
seats at Holsten's after 5:00 p, m. on
Tuesday, May 4th.
Maud Mullor and Her "Maw"
Maud Muller on a winter's night
Sat reading by the lamp's dull light.
She had a book upon her knee,
O'er which she smiled carefully.
She read of bargains to be had,
Then told her mother and her dad.
There were pretty pictures in the book,
Ana now ana men her maw" would look;
And Maud would call to "paw" and say:
"We kin get these things if we send away.
And maw she needs some shoes and
gown .
But course we can get 'em here in town;
But they ain't so nice the people say
As that they get from far away;
Then, this book says, an' I guess its true,
That merchants here they just job you."
Now Maudie's "paw" had just sold some
stock,
And had ninety dollars in his sock.
So Maud she wrote aod sent away
For gown and shoes and bonnet gay.
Two weeks later by fast freight,
The goods came collect $2 98.
When Maudie's "maw" tried on the dress,
Her heart was surely in distress;
It fit her like a gunny sack,
And sagged and wrinkled in the back,
The shoes they were a size to small
She couldn't get them on at all;
And Maudie's hat, it was a fright,
And Maud she shed some tears that night.
Next day she drove into the town,
Called at the home of Merchant Brown
And bought a drem and shoes for "maw,"
An overcoat lor tier uw
And after viewing this and that,
She got herseli a pretty hat.
At home that nit; it around the fire,
The Muller famil filled with ire;
Looked at the liuoV iImi caused their woe,
And soon it made ilu lire to glow;
And Maud, she said: "No more I'll pen
An order to mail-order men."
