W. Cor. Box Butte Ave. and Dakota St. ; one block north of Burlington station, on west side of street Phoenix is different. Yon ask, "How is it different?" In the first place, it is a city of homes. In the second place, it is a commercial town. It is the capital and metropolis of the territory. Over one build ing per day (house or business building) was finished last year. This year will beat that. Hundreds of acres are continually being divided and sub-divided into small tracts and are purchased by home builders. The future of Phoenix and the Salt River Val ley is not built on speculation. It is built on a good substantial basis. This valley and city draws settlers and home-seekers from all over the United States. The climate is unequalled anywhere in the world. In a few years the entire valley and country surrounding Phoenix will be peopled very thickly by people who want the best that can be found. This little city of twenty thousand peo ple will soon become a city of fifty thous and. Growth has just begun. The reas on for this great growth will be found in the valley lands. The orange and fruit industry will assume large proportions, the demand for our fruits being practically unlimited. Most orchards will not be larger than ten acres and there will be many of this size producing deciduous fruits, and smaller holdings devoted to the raising of bush and vine fruits. There is no "back country" here, for Phoenix faces in every direction, lying in the center of the valley. Children flourish in the healthful cli mate and are at times seen barefooted in December or January: for why should they wear shoes. It is not cold enough to compel them to. They are always brown and healthy and summer diseases are un known. The'school system in Phoenix is superb.' Fine grade schools are maintained and the best teachers that can be secured are hired. The school buildings are all modern brick structures, light and well ventilated. A tine school of music and several private schools are maintained. Phoenix has a fine water system and fire protection is always good. The water is drawn by high-power pumps from ar tesian wells. The station has a capacity of 7,000,000 gallons per day. The city has a good street car system and tne lines are being continually extended and will eventually cover the entire valley. This will give the farmers transportation for their grain to the city as well as furnish ing passenger service every few minutes. Electric power is furnished from the Roosevelt dam for both light and power. The power lines are being strung through out the valley. It will only be a short time until every farm house will have electric power. This power is furnished at a very moderate cost aud is being used for many purposes. The city also has a gas system. which furnishes gas for illum ination, cooking and beating, Twelve church denominations are repre sented in the city. A fine four story Y. M. C. A, building is being finished. A new $200,000 Federal building is being erected. Across the street from our offico is a new four story reinforced concrete building occupying a quarter block. Four daily papers are published, in ad dition to many weekly and monthly papers and magazines. The state capitol, U. S. government Reclamation Service offices, etc., are all located in the city. A fine Carnegie library is maintained. Thero are four strong banks, with National, Ter ritorial, Savings and Trust companies. Everything taken into consideration, Phoenix will be found the most desirable little city to live in. The altitude is 107C feet above sea level, the mean annual tem perature is 69.3 degrees, and the average wind velocity is five miles per hour. These are Government statistics. Tnere is no cold weather or cyclones. The Board of Trade has recently gotten out some fine booklets and other advertis ing matter telling of Phoenix and the valley. I shall be pleased to send this to any one desiring the same. Phoenix, Arizona. May 25, igio. ! m Will Celebrate at Alliance YOU PROVE IT ! An invitation to all owotra of cylinder machines Columbia and others. We could argue the quality cf Columbia Indestructible Cylinder Records until a year from now but what good would it do if you could not prove it for yourself by coming into our store and seeing and hearing it? We could prin a whole newspaper every day about the special and original Colum bia processes of manufacture and get no where at all if the Records did not bear the evidence. COLUMBIA INDESTRUCTIBLE CYLINDER RECORDS won't break, no matter how roughly they are used, they won't wear out, no matter how often they are played. Moreover, their tone is far purer, clearer, more brilliant than that cf any other cylinder record made. Don't merely take our word for it come inside our store and listen. Cost 35 cents I SOLD Mrs. Ida M. Ross, Alliance, Neb. At a meeting of the Bridgeport Com mercial Club last Thursday night the matter of celebrating the fourth of July was up for consideration, and after a free discussion it was decided to leave the celebration ot the nation's natal day this year to neighboring towns, which means, of course, that Bridgcporters will celebrate in Alii ance. This is in pursuance to suggest ions that have been made in this paper: but the action was taken with a view of asking neighboring towns to re ciprocate by attending- a big celebrat ion to be held in Bridgeport in Septem ber in honor of the completion of the new Morrill county court house. Alliance believes in reciprocity, and Bridgeport cau depend upon a good representation from this city at their court house celebration- "Environment and Education" The above is the subject of a lecture to be delivered at the High School assembly room tonight by Prof. Ful mer. Admission free; and everybody invited to attend. The lecture will without doubt be well worth hearing. There should be a good attendance of Alliance people as well as those attend ing the Junior Normal- Will Be Fruit PANIC IN PICTURE SHOW J. U. Wade, apent for the Harrison Nurseries of York, informs us that he has had a good spring trade, which is an indication that the people of this country are interested in fruit growing and are beginning to have confidence in their abiUty'to grow fruit success fully in this part of the state. There is not much fruit grown in this county yet, but Mr. Wade informs ut that what fruit trees there are here will have fruit on this year, which is more .than can be said for the trees of Iowa and eastern Nebraska. Will Erect Silos We are glad to announce that this 3'ear will mark the beginning of the use of silos in northwestern Nebraska. II . E. Clark and J. O. lientz, two lead iug stock and dairymen near Simla, have both decided to put up silos this year. Wo have not yet learned the particulars as t size and kind, but it is more than probable that they will both try the "Saginaw", the kind recently advertised in The Herald, This will be a good beginning, but we hope to hear of at least a dozen more who will put up silos this sum mer. There should be that many or more in Box Butte county this year. Card of Thanks To those who have been witb us in our bereavement and by kind words and kindly acts have tried to lessen our sorrow, we extend our sincere thanks. Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Kennedy.
