PRAIRIE FIRE
NEAR LAKESIDE
Prairie Fire . Starts During High
Wind Stopped Only by Fulled
Efforts of Forty Men
A prairie fire which started durlnu
the high wind at 2 o'clock Wednes
day afternoon, ten miles east of Alli
ance near Reno, burned over four
sections of line grazing land before it
was stopped by the united efforts of
forty men who came from till direc
tions. If the men had not worked
so well the fire might have covered
many miles of territory and done ser
ious damage.
Someone had been burning weeds
in the morning before the wind
sprang up. Thinking that they had
put the lire entirely out they left it.
When discovered the flames were
sweeping south and east at a rapid
rate. A school house, in the path of
the fire was tilled with children. For
tunately a phone was in the school
house and the teacher was notified
in plenty of time to get the children
out and away from the path of the
fire.
The tire was stopped by plowing
in Its path. The land which was
burned over was winter pasture.
CLl'lt HOLDS MEETING
I The executive committee of the
'Commercial Club held a special ses
sion at the office of the president, J.
W, Guthrie, Thursday evening. The
results of the canvass for members
were reported, showing seventy-four
names already signed up and prom
ises of more, assuring the total of
one hundred desired.
Mallery, Sallows and Guthrie were
iupiKjlnted a committee to report on
the proposed by-laws at the meeting
to bw'beld Monday evening at which
all members are asked to attend and
complete the organization.
A letter was read to the executive
committee of the commercial club
Thursday eveniug from the promot
ers of the proposition of construct
ing a Nebraska building at the Panama-Pacific
exposition In San Francis
co in 1915. The sum of $50,000 la
asked for, to erect the building. The
proposition as outlined In the letter
was to ask the different counties to
subscribe their share in the above
sum, the shares to be apportioned
according to the. taxes paid by the
counties.
The share for Box Butte county,
if the proposition was accepted,
would bo approximately $23 4. Prom
inent business men of the counties
are to be asked to sign a note for
this amount, the notes to bo dis
counted at the banks and then for
warded to the state treasurer, to bo
held by him and paid for by the
state in case the next session of the
state legislature should appropriate
the sum subscribed.
The sum of $150,000 was asked at
the last session ot the legislature but
was turned down. Whether the sum
of $50,000 would be considered too
large by the next legislature Is a
question. The state should undoubt
edly be represented by a building at
the exposition. The only question
Is whether the money should be rais
ed in this way or by public subscrip
tion. HOGS TOP
