ANNOUNCEMENT OF DECISION OF JUDGES
r"i
The State Declamatory contest to
morrow evening, the program, of which
we give above, promises to be one of
the greatest educational events in the
history of northwestern Nebraska.
Many prominent educatots will be
present, and the following named
schools, besides Alliance, will be rep
resented in the contest: Gibbon,
Neligh, Blair, Ord, Sbelton, Stanton,
Plattsmouth, Geneva, Madison, Brady,
Arlington and Grand Island.
Prof. R. V. Clark of Harvard, secre
tary of the N. H. S. D. U., says:
"This certainly promises to bo the best
contest in the history of the state."
We doubt not that Prof. Clark's esti
mate is correct, and if it is it means
more glory for Prof. Hayes and the
Alliance schools than has ever yet been
permitted to come this side of the sand
hills.

Stockholders' Second
Annual Meeting
h
The Alliance Creamery and Produce
Co. held their second annual stock
holders' meeting at their office Tues
day afternoon, May 4, and elected the
following board of directors and offi
cers for the ensuiug year: C. A. New
berry, Frank Bauer, R. L. Harris,
A. S. Reed and W. E. Spencer; C. A.
Newberry, Pres.; L. Lowery, V. Pres.;
R. L. Harris, Treas., W. E. Spencer,
Sec and General Manager.
It is very gratifying to us as well as
to everybody interested in the growth
of Alliance to note the prosperity of
this institution. Since the first of Jan
uary tlie creamery has sold to mer
chants in the west 5641 pounds of
butter, which is about three times the
amount sold during the same period of
last year. This is certainly a remark
able increase in business and augers
well for the future.
Art Wjker has gone to Douglas,
Wyo., to recuperate on his uncle's
ranch for a month. His uncle owns a
large ranch there and Art expects to
have a very enjoyable time while away.
J. M. Dineen, tho land man trom
Madison, has taken up his residence in
Alliance. He has been helping to
bring land buyers to this county for
some time past and has sold a great
many farms. The secret of his suc
cess in inducing people to come as
well as purchase has been bis .faith in
this county and acting upon that con
fidence be decided to become a resi
dent of this county himself.
He will continue to bring people
here to invest in Box Butte county
soil, being a member of the firm of
Dineen, Rubendall & Young.
To Denver on Motor Cycle
O. H. Vinsel, who is to represent
the Alliance Motor Cycle club in the
Denver to Seattle endurance race to
be run in August, left Tuesday morn
ing for a try-out trip to Denver. Ow
ing to the inclemency of the weather,
Mr. Vinsel hasn't very much riding to
condition himself. The sporting fra
ternity of the northwest will watch Mr.
Vinsel's progress on this trip with
great interest.

with his father will visit abroad for sever
