'MOVING INTO -.
COURT HOUSE
County Ollicers Are Transferring the
Records t New Court House
lluilcling Tills Week
The work of moving the county
records into the new court bouse
started at 4 o'clock Tuesday after
noon. Commissioner Calvin Hash
msn. chairman of the board, took the
first armful of books from the old
building into the new. He was fol
lowed by The Herald reporter with
aa armload and Commissioner Wan
ek with a load. Although there are
still thirty days before the time for
acceptance of the building, under the
terms of the contract, it was thought
advisable to get the records out of
the old tire trap into the new fire
proof building as soon as possible.
Most of the work on the new build
lag is finished. The electric light
inures are still to be installed and
tore of the furniture is coining. An

tion of the building.
New .Market for Light Horses
The European war has made a
ready sale for light weight horses
that are usually hard to market, said
a member of the department of ani
mal husbandry at the Nebraska I'ni
verBity farm the other day. The
horses bought for the cavalry weigh
but 1,100 pounds, stand l.r hands or
$0 inches high, and with a few ex
ceptions are of solid dark colors. A
few dark grays, however, have been
bought as well aa a few cream col
ored with light mane and tail. The
iicers of the French army who
kave visited Nebraska demand rea
sonably well broken and upstanding
animals with a great deal of dura
bility and with good wind and good
eyes. No objection is made to small
wire cuts and other minor blemish
es. Mares as well as geldings are
bought for about $150. As the war
to responsible Tor cutting off the
sale of herses for the South in con
section with the cottou ludustry. the
Kuropean demand relieves an other
wise overloaded market.

WOULD CHEAPEN
LIGHT AND WATER
ity Council Investigating lniMrtn(
Matter Light Plant l a
Paying Proposition
Two important questions were
conered by the city council at its
meeting held Tuesday evening in the
ity hall. Mayor Rodgers believes
hat the cost of electric light to the
smaller consumers can be reduced
nd that the city's revenues will be
large if not larger than at the
present time, on account of the in-
rease in the number of users.
At the present time a reduction of
en per cent Is made on light bills if
paid before the 22nd of the month.
his greatly facilitates the collection
of light bills. The mayor recom
mends that a similar discount bo
made on water bills If paid before a
ertain date. This would hasten the
ayment of water bills, which are
slower in coming in. The council Is
considering the proposition and nc-
ion may be taken later on both the
bove propositions. The electric
light plant Ib a paying proposition.
Some are in favor of taking the sur
plus funds for the purpose of city
Improvements, Installing of reserve
equipment at the plant for use in
case of breakdowns, or other uses.
The question of dividing the city
nto four wards instead of two was
brought up for consideration by
Councilman Romlg. The census tak
en by the city this summer and of
ficially accepted, glveB the city a
population of 5,100 persons. This
places Alliance with cities of the
first class and entitles It to privileges
not heretofore enjyoed. as a city of
he second ciasH. In order for Alli
ance to be made a city of the first
lass it will be necessary for the gov
ernor to Issue a proclamation to that
effect. Cities of the first class are
required to be divided into four or
more wards, each ward having two
councllmen. The matter Is to be
acted upon at the next council meet-
ng and as the peopl eseetn to be in
favor of it, action tending to the
division at the next election may be
aken.
The question of lowering aide-
walks on Box Butte Avenue which
are above the established grade was
aken up.- A number of sidewalks
near the high school are peverul feet
nbove grade. The matter wa refer
red to the street committee.

Can irrigation by pumping plants

many people would like to have
definite answer to Just now. There
is only one way of positively know
ing, and that is by testing the mat
ter. Already quite a number of
farmers have signified their Inten
Hon of irrigating b y means of eeii
trifugal pumps when assured that it
can be done successfully here.
While successful Irrigation around
Alliance would mean much for the
land owners. It would also be a big
thing for the business intreests of

If the well made and tried under
these conditions does not test from
15,000 to 20.000 gallons in ten hours
pumping, the county will pay half
Ihe expense.
In this connection it should be
stated that if the persons putting in
the test wells will keep samples of
material passed thru, with memor
andum of depth, etc., and furnish the
same to the secretary of tho Alliance
Commercial t.'lub, be will secure the
service of a government engineer to
give an expert opinion free of charge.
The Herald hopes that a number
of farmers in Box Butte county will
take steps to test this matter as soon
as Ksaihle. If pump irrigation can
not be made a success here, we want
to drop discussion of the matter. If
it can be made a success, we hope to
see a large number of farmers try It
the coming year.
