Fair Breaks All Records
Box Butte Exhibit Best
LINCOLN, Nebr., Sept. 7.
(Special to The Alliance Herald.)
They are all here, the Box
Butte bunch, Douglas, Patter
son, Lorance, O'Keefe, Kibble,
Newberry, Reddish, and several
others including yours truly.-
The fair is the biggest thing
I've ever seen. The attendance
so far is more than double any
provious year. The grounds,
which are very large, are com
pletely packed and the people
move in throngs. Every hotel
in Lincoln is crowded. Next
time I come I will reserve a room
in advance. Many people are
finding it necessary to sleep on
cots or stay up.
The agricultural hall is packed
with exhibits and the universal
expression of opinion is that Box
Butte county leads them all. If
the county fair is not crowded
the latter part of this month it
will he a suprise to us. Every
one wants to know about western
Nebraska and the extra edition
of last week's Herald has been
eagerly snapped up. The land
literature is being read by thous
ands and will result in a great
influx of new settlers into the
county.
The fair is certainly coming up
to the expectation of all. Many
acres of ground are covered by
the large tents full of displays
of machinery, from threshers in
full operation to cream separa
tors and pumping plants. It
would take a couple of days to
cover the exhibits thoroughly.
The aeroplane exhibitions
haw been one of the biggest
drawing cards but on Tuesday
aviator Archie Hoxey was near
ly killed by hib large Wright bi
lpane being wrecked on one of
the barns. His exhibitions have
been full of excitement and sev
eral times he rose to a height of
hundreds of feet, sailing away
nearly out of sight over the city.

and the big grandstand is packed
full all day long. The fireworks
are the most brilliant I have ever
seen and are worth going many
miles to see. The Labor day
parade in Lincoln was two miles
in length. The sidewalks were
lined with cheering thousands.
Many Alliance people have
been here, among them being
Harry Johnson and wife.
Prof. Hayes, formerly super
intendent of Alliance city schools
and now president of Peru Nor
mal, is here with a normal edu
cational exhibit. He was much
irterested in the Box Butte ex
hibit. C. O. Aspenwall, formerly
mayor of Alliance, now manager
of the gas engine department of
the International Harvester Com
pany, is here with their exhibit.
Dr. WiJcox, Prof. Hunt, and
other prominent state men and
dry farming experts are all here
in force and are all mightily
glad to see the Box Butte exhib
it. Now for the Box Butte County
Fair, the last of the month.
Make it a big one and a good
one. The people will be there.
Lloyd C. Thomas.
Another Ep worth League Musicale

League will give another on Friday
evening, September i6th, at the M, E.

"Faust" Next Wednesday;
Alliance play goers will welcome the
opening of the theatrical season next,
weunesuay night, beptetnoer 14, wnen,
the great play of "Faust" will be pre
sented by that popular actor Mr. Sand"
ford dodge supported by Miss Adelia
Nickerson and a capable company of
15 people. The play is too well known
to playgoers to call for any extended
comments and it remains to be said
that the company presenting it is one
of the best ever collected together by
Mr. Dodge. This is the same company
that filled the Broadway theatre in
Denver on August 24, with an enthusi'
astic audiance the verdict being thatt
Mr. Dodge is now at bis best. The
same company a few nights ago play
ed to a $247. house at McCook and '
success is 'greeting them everywhere?
they are playing this season. Alliance
is the only place that Mr. Dodge,
IS!
willing to play at less than one dollar 1
top price, but having been treated so.'
well by Alliance people during the past
ten years, he has couseuted to reduce (
the top price to 75 cents and 50 cents,
for the poorer seats. It is hoped that
bis company will be greeted by a full
house next Wednesday for he certainly
produce the goods.
