Gregg & Son's Big Premium Offer We will give a special premium of Ten Dollars ($10.00) to the winner of first premium on best loaf of bread at the Box Butte county fair this year, if the bread was made from flour bought of us. To the winner of second premium on loaf of bread we will give a special premium of Five Dollars ($5.00) on the same conditions. Now is the time to commence practicing with this flour. We handle the CURTIS HIGH PATENT E. I.Gregg Sc Son Several of the local Alliance lot owners are figuring on getting in their bids for the Alliance federal building site. The sum of f 15,000 was appro priated for that purpose. The specific cations are that the size of the site must be approximately 130x135 feet. Several sites are suggested, among them the corner in which Jerry Row an's feod store is located; the north west corner in the block in which the new McCorkle building is located; the corner on which the Methodist parson age and the Tuttle and Tash law office stand; and the corner next to the C. C. Smith residence. The buildings are to be reserved by the vendor of the site, as the govern ment has no use for any buildings now located on sites selected. If a suitable, site cannot be purchased at a reason able price the government will make selection and secure the gtound by condemnation proceedings. No special form of proposal is re quired, but the offer must be in writ ing, addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury, and should indicate definite ly the location and dimensions of the property and the price at which it is onereu. ine proposal must be ac companied by a diagram or plat on a sheet 8 by oH inches on which the following data must be clearly indicat ed, viz: 1. An outline map of the land of fered, showing accurately its shape and the demensions in feet and inches of each side. 2. The width from lot line to lot line of adjacent streets, width of side walks, width of roadway between curbs. 3. The width and location of ad jacent alleys, and whether public or private. 4. The location in adjacent streets or alleys of gas, water and heating mains; electric-light conduits or over head electric-light wires or cables. sewers, wuu ineir deptn below street levels and their diameters, whether they are sanitary or storm sewers. 5. If no sewers are in adjacent streets a statement from the city en gineer must be secured and attached to the plat showing the distance from the property offered to the nearest sewer with which connection could be made and the amount of fall between the property offered and the sewer to be connected with- G. The plat or diagram must have indicated thereon the location of any right of way, sewer, couduit, steam or. wuter pipes, cables or wiies which may be upon, under, or over the property, under any casement or permit, and whether their right to be there is sub ject to termination. The plat must show with reasonable accuracy the "North Point" of the compass. No title papeis need be sub mitted with proposals; but if the title to the property is in such condition that conveyance thereof can not be made by deed the facts should be brief ly stated. Bidders should indicate whether they bid as owners or agents. When two or more parcels of ad jacent lands are lequired to make a site of the required dimensions the De partment prefers that the owners join in the proposal, each indicating the portion of the total price to be paid for his respective shaie. The owner of the site finally selected by the Department will be advised in writing of the acceptance oj his pro posal, and will be required to furnish without additional cost to the United States all abstracts, certifications, deeds, etc., necessary in the opinion of the Attorney General for the proper examination ot the title. It j very hard for anyone to pre dict or to try to predict where the federal building will be located, al though a down town location will of course he selected. And although a po.stoffice aud federal building draws a certain amount of trade its way still it does not have as much influence as is usually credited to it. See the Land You Buy Secretary Colbum of the Kansas Agricultural commission has sent us an article with some good sound advice about buying land, particularly small tracts. Mr. Colbum don't say that land agents are dishonest at all but ho says that it seems the height of folly to buy without having first seen what is bargained for, and to know whether you are buying a piece ot mountain side, a swamp, or land that is actually irrigated with water instead of wordb. He goes on to state that when it comes to a section where one tract may be a veritable gold mine in agricultural production and a nearby propeity practioally worthless, it it an easy matter to orate upon the viitues of the former as representing the potential ities of the latter. Gftierallv it is wiso to avoid the Farmer Jeffries. Hack to the land, To the nice soft soil That rallies no crops or jabs for lilh toll. Goes Farmer Jeff, Where Ills work will be A picture of aweet Simplicity. Duck to the land, To the nature spot Wticro the ruin doesn't rain Any punches hot. Goes Farmer Jeff, Ami he'll hit the ground With a plowshare lick Thut m nkes no sound. Duck to the land, To the growing place Where Johnson can't land On his Min kissed face, Ooeii Farmer Jeff, And ho loves to look On the fields that need No left hand hook. Hack to the land. To the pern eful ways That wen- unlike Those Iteuo days, Goes Farmer Jeff With a keen delight In knowing there isn't A nlger insight. Hack to the land, To the good old farm, Away from the ringside And its harm. Goes Farmer Jell. And it's HHfe to swear He's mighty darn sorry Ue dldu t stay there. AV J. Lamp ton in Sew York World.
