COUNCIL PASSED ORDINANCES City Dads Transact Much Ruslness at Regular Monthly Session at City Hall Tuesday Night Tuesday evening's session of the city council was short but much bus laces vus transacted. Reports of the city departments were received. The appointment of L. A. Twilegar as night marshall was confirmed. A petition was presented to the city council asking that the cluster light in front of the Mallei y grocery store be changed to the corner. The ceuncil, after considering the matter, decided not to grant the petition. A petition, asking that the new cluster lights which will soon be installed between Fourth .ar.d Fifth streets on Box Butte avenue, be placed on the earners instead of the same as the present lights, was voted against. On petition, it was voted to install clus ter lights on Third street, from The Budweiser corner to the Alliance Steam Laundry corner. Mr. Edinborough, Lincoln park superintendent, who was brought to Alliance at the request of the Com- ! mercial Club, was present and pre sented his plan for improving Hie city park. Jiis plan met with the approval of tne council. An ordiu 'aace creating a city park board was passed. The mayor, with the ap proval of the council, appointed Mon te Hargraves for the one year term, F. W. Harris for the two-year term and E. H. Boyd for tne three-year term. These men have taken a great deal of Interest in civic im provement and the city park, under their direction, will undoubtedly be Improved as rapidly as the finances see aside for this purpose will per mit. A resolution creating a driver for the new city motor tire truck, who is te care for the cit yhall also, was passed. The mayor appointed L. E. Pilkington to this position, with the approval of the council. Mr. Pilking ton will take up his work as soon as tne truck arrives, which will be with in a few days. Attorney E. 11.

Within two and one-half mil"? of Alliance there Is a large bed of mag nesia limestone which has been used on different county roads, one being only one-half mile west of town. This limestone, which, is soft when first taken from the ground, soon hardens when exposed to the tun and air, giving the road a surface as hard as rock and which sheds water near ly as well as a pavement. The pro position of oiling or paving the streets of Alliance has been given serious consideration lately. Mr. Boyd suggested that a street inter section be covered with this lime stone for a trial, which will not cost more than 1 10. The council ac cepted the suggestion and ordered the street commissioner to haul and lay a street intersection. If this plan is successful, it may solve the problem of keeping Alliance's streets In good shape at small expense.

CANDIDATE FOR STATE. SENATOR Stand up for Northwestern Nebraska by Voting for Man Who Will Do Something if Elected TO THE VOTERS OF THE 28TH SENATORIAL DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF NEBRASKA: As it has required many years of long and con slstant fighting to successfully com bat the foes of good government, here are a few good reasons why you should support GEORGE M. ADAMS for state senator at the com ing election and show your approval of his record In the 1907 session of the Nebraska legislature, which leg islature enacted some of the best and most wholesome legislation that had ever been enacted in this state up to that time. And today the people of Nebraska are enjoying the benefits from same. He was recognlssed at thnt session as one of the Democratic leaders. He supported and voted for all these important measures: He was in the fight that gave you the 2 cent passenger rate law, which the railway companies have since ad mitted they are making money un der. He was in the fight that gave you the anti-pass law, which put all parties on equal terms with the rail road companies, and made the party who was able to pay his fare do so. Just the same as any other Individ-, ual. He was in the fight that gave you the 15 per cent freight rate reduc tion on all car loads of CATTLE, POTATOES, GRAIN, FLOUR and BUILDING MATERIAL of all kinds, which has saved the people of Ne braska many thousands of dollars in the last seven years. He was in the fight that gave you the 25 per cent express rate reduc tion. And the express companies ad mit they were making money under same as they have since reduced the rates much lower on their own Ini tiative to compete with the parcels post rates. He was in the fight that gave you the railway commission bill which has saved the people of Nebraska hundreds of thousands of dollars in freight charges, and forced the vari ous companies to give the people of Nebraska better service and improve ments at all railway stations. i He -was in the fight for the law known as the tax levy appeal which forces the large tax payers and cor porations to pay their taxes just the same as any other individual as -tier-tified upon the tax list and not al low them to hold hundreds of thous ands of dollars In their treasuries for years and finally make a compromise with the various county commission ers in the sate for about 50 cents on the dollar In order to avoid a long drawn out expensive law suit, when the common people were obliged to pay their taxes -in full with Interest and penalty added. He was in the legislature that gave you the child labor law. He was in the legislature that gave you the PURE FOOD LAW and if elected believes that it should be amended to conform to the present day needs. He was In the legislature that gave you the primary election law which enables every voter of the state to have a voice in saying whom he wants as a public servant, to act In a public capacity, and is now con vinced that there is room for some beneficial amendments to same. He was in the legislature when the Iim' Joint resolution was passed making application to the congrcan of the United States for the calling a convention for the proposing of amendments to the constitution of the United States, that our senators should be elected by a direct vote of the people and not by a legislature. He was In the legislature that gave you the employers liability law or what was commonly called the fellow servant act. On all these Important laws the name of Mr. Adams was first to be called in the house, and he never made it a business to be some other place at voting time but in his seat, and not wait until the second call of his name in order to dodge an issue and see if it was popular with the majority or not to see which way he should vote. So for the coming legislature if the voters of this district feel so dis posed at the election to elect Mr. Adams to the senate, look for con structive, effective, wise and beneflc lent laws. For Instance, such as the proposed BONDED PUBLIC WARE HOUSE. LAW for GRAIN. HAY and all other kinds of farm products. Yon ean never expect this law from a re publican legislature as that party at their state convention this year at Lincoln refused to endorse that plank, and the leaders of that party would not submit to its passage or work for same. This is a reform that will mean more to the people of Nebraska in dollars and cents, than any other law enacted in this state. He will also work hard to secure an adequate appropriation for the state of Nebraska for the purpose of sending agricultural experts into the sand bills of this state to experiment in the selection and propagation of new forage grasses, that will grow and thrive in our sandy soil. A successful effort of this kind will en hance the value of every acre of land in this district whether owued by ranchman, farmer, or homestead er. Also, if you approve of the admin istration of President Woodrow Wil son, you should say so bv your vote. nd Bend a democrat this year to the senate.
