Mrs. H. E. Boone, who has been
ill for some time, underwent a sur
gical operation three weeks ago, from
which she was recveroing very nice
ly, being able to be out of bed a
few days, when she was taken ill
with muscular rheumatism, and again
became bedfast. She had not been
previously afflicted with rheumatism.
This following her other sickness has
been quite a trial to her. The Her
ald is pleased to note, however, that
she is improving, although not able
to be up. Her physician thinks she
will continue to improve, but it is
probable that she will not be entire
ly well during the summer.
Home Builders
Are Recognized
in every community as men of
integrity and stability. It's
proof that they believe in
themselves and future of their
town. And every home that is
erected in a community makes
it just that much better place
in which to live and invest
your money. To most home
builders it means something
to live for a real object in
life an acquisition that once
attained is a joy forever.
That NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO
BUHD goes without question
money is plentiful for legiti
mate investment labor is
within reach and our stock of
lumber was never more com
plete. Remember-He who htlftltfU."

Miss Blanche Macdonald
The Herald had made arrangements
with the World-Herald to secure tele
graphic information last Thursday
morning in regard to the winning con
testants in the great contest for the
European trip, but on account of the
immense number of votes that were
sent in just at the close of the contest,
it was found impossible to make the
count before Thursday night-
While we were practically sure that
Miss McDonald would be one of the
fourteen winning contestants, with a
possibility that she would lead all
others and thus have the selection
of the chaperon, we could not say
positively until the final count had
been made. Miss McDonald won in
this district over the Deadwood lady
of course, but the winning contestants
in two other districts had a larger
number of votes than she-
The Herald has been very much
interested in this contest, and it ia
needless to sav that we are delighted
to announce the winner for this district
not only because we think she is a
worthy young lady, but also because
this is a splendid advertiaement for
theeiergy and thrift of Alliance ami
Northwestern Nebraska: and we are
glad that this paper rendered some
assistance in bringing about the happy
results.
Miss McDonald accompanied by
Miss Margaret Bell left on 44 Mon
day for Omaha, where she will join
the party of European touristng.

Work is progressing on the new Catho
lic church, and it is expected that the
corner stone will be laid the tore part

cannot yet be announced, as bad wea
ther might interfere with the work.
Father McNamara informs the Her
ald that there will be no public serv
ices at the laying of the corner stone,
but thev will be included in the dedi
cation after the church has been com
pleted, the contract call i tit;
for the completion of the same ou or
before September 15th.
The new church will be 45 by go
feet, with 16 ft. sacrisity; the base
ment will be u ft. corner posts 22 ft.
and tower 66 ft. The main building
will seat 500 people.
It is being constructed of Denver
pressed brick, trimmed with Bedford
stone, green glared to the water table
and from there up, Turkey egg brick.
It will certainly be a verv beautiful
and imposing when completed. The
cost of the building without furniture
will be approximately $25, ooo-00
INTERESTED IN TREE GROWING
Mr. E- C. Burton, father of attorney
Eugene Burtou aud Mrs. S. K. Warrick
who came to Alliance a few weeks
ago from Wyetheville, Va., has deci
dided to make his home in this city
although he will occasionally return
to the "Old Dominion" to look after
financial interests there. He is left
alone in this world, with the exception
of the sou and daughter above named
aud as he is interested in the devlop-
ment of this westeru country it will
be a great pleasure to him to make
his home with them.
The Herald finds that Mr. Burton
is interested in agriculture but more
especially tree growing, to which sub
ject he has devoted cousiderable study.
He believes trees can be much more
successfully grown in this country it
the ground should le prepared bv
loosening it up to a depth of several
feet, in which opin o 1 The Herald
heartily concurs. He advocates the use
of dynamite in breaking up the ground
in preparation for setting out trees. We
hoe to see the experiment tried in
this part of the west, aud believe that
those who try it will secure good results.
