PREPARING FOR A BOOMING
REAL ESTATE BUSINESS
The faces of Alliance real estate
men are "wreathed with smiles", and
The Herald is glad to see it. They
are expecting and preparing for a
big business the coming season. They
have confidence iti this country, not
merely because there ts plenty of
moisture now, but the soil is fertile,
and they know that wi'h right crops
ami the right kind of cull.atlon farm
ing can be made a great success
here.
(ieo. e. Douglas, i D. tiagar and
Wm. M. Hill, doing business under
the firm name of the Northwest .Ne
braska Land Company, are among
the most enthusiastic. A commod
ious office has been partitioned off
on the north side of the front part
of the Herald building, a door open
ing into their office at the corner of
the building gives them tin- street
number Ifllg Box Butte avenue
They have two rooms which they are
fixing up in tiptop shape for their
business, and when they have finish
ed putting up their display of Hox
Butte county products will without
doubt have one of the fineBt real es
tate offices in the west. Their of
fice is, in fact, a peach, and has
been the center of attraction In this
part of the city for several days past,
alt ho the arrangement of it has not
yet been completed.
The gentlemen composing the
Noi'lhwest Nebraska Land Co. are
so well known to the people of Alii
ance and Box Butte county aa to
muke an Introduction thru this paper
almost superfluous. The Herald
will have more to say about them
and their business during the com
ing season.

tory of the schools a tenuis tourna
ment with other scbools will be held.

FAIRVIEW AND BEREA
There will be preaching at Fair
view next Sunday at 11 a. m. and at
Berta at 3 p. at.
When The Herald Joined the and
tuberculosis movement nnd launched
a campaign to get this pnrt of the
west Interested In the matter, there
seemed to be so little Interest that
it looked like a hard proposition .One
prominent man. formerly pastor of
one of the churches of the city, when
requested by the editor to speak pub
licly on the subject, voiced what ap
peared to be the sentiment of many
when he replied that he thought
there was no need of It, as there
was no tuberculosis here. But The
Herald kept on agltntlng.and nglta
tlon hum ns education; and education
means action, where action Is need
ed. As a result interest has grown
beyond our most sanguine expecta
tions. Last Sunday was known as "Tuber
culosis Sunday". The subject was
taken up at several of the Hum lies
of the city, and there Is now an un
precedented Interest This Interest
has not taken the form of fright,
for which there Is no necessity, but
is due largely to the knowledge that
tuberculosis CAN BE PREVENTED,
and possiblV cured In Its Incipient
stages, by proper diet, right exercise,
fresh air, sunlight and favorable cli
mate. The siaic legislature at Ita recent
session mnde an appropriation of
$40,000 to establish a tuberculosis
hospital In western Nebraska. Alli
ance would be the ideal location for
8ucn an institution, and some effort
is being made we undersatnd to se
cure It for this city, but there are
others who are doubt rul about It be
ing a benefit to the city, and are
more than willing for some other
community to get It.
Whether the state tuberculosis hos
pital Is located at Alliance or not,
The Herald will continue agitation In
the interest of humanity to help
stamp out consumption, "the white
plague". Ve have been publishing
the press service of the National As
sociation for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis because we have
felt that In so doing we were doing
a good service to humanity.
From statistics published today In
the new Tuberculosis directory of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis, It
is ascertained that over 600 cities
and towns of the United States, be
sides about 100 In Canada, are on
.a.rcd iD the war against consump
tion, and that on April 1st there
vcre nearly 1500 agencies at work
in the crusade, an Increase of nearly
700 per cent In the last seven years.
The new directory lists 421 tuber
culosis sanatoria, hospitals and day
camps; 511 associations and commit
tees for the prevention of tuberculo
sis, 342 special dispensaries; 68 open
air schools; '.18 hospitals for the in
sane and penal institutions making
special provision for their tuberculo
sis inmates; besides giving an ac
count of the anti-tuberculosis legis
lation in every state and In about
250 cities. The directory, which 1b
the third of Its kind that has ever
been published in this country, gives
the most complete survey of the anti-tuberculosis
movement that can bo
secured, and shows the remarkable
growth of this campaign In the last
seven years. The first directory
In 11104 showed only 1 S3 organizations
and institutions In the entire I'nited
States. The second directory in
ll08 reported 64'J different agencies
as compared with 1440 In the new
book. Taking these figures as a
basis, the anti-tuberculosis movement
has inereuscd in force since 1884,
nearly 700 per cent, and since 1!08,
over 106 per ceni.
The new directory is sold by the
