HAIjK. of nkahon
The gUtclon sale of It. C. J. C.
('ranmore, held at their ranrli. lifteen
ntlot south of Bingham on Monday.
October LBth, proved to be one of the
'argeat held in western Nebraska In
years Col. II P. Couraey of Alliance
cried the Hale and Frank Abegg acted
as dork. Five sections of land were
.told to Kentfro Brothers, ranchmen,
lor $5.80 per acre, a total of 918.560.
The total reeelpta from the sale
amounted to over $30,ooo.
A hlg crowd attended the aale in
Hplte of the fact that It was a long
iliatanee for many of them to go. Teh
lied Croat ladies of Kingham served
lunch anil were well rewarded by
donations of over f 100.
The owners of the property sold
were well pleased with the outcome.
They give much of the' credit for the
good attendance to the effective ad
vertising done In The Alliance Her
ald. Col Couraey made a record by
Mb quick sales at high prices and he
held the attention of his crowd from
start to finish.
That famous moving picture fea
ture "The Ilattle Cry of Peace."
will be shown at the A-Muse-lI thea
tre at Hoffland next Sunday. Bjllle
Ostenberg and Mack Davis, managers
f the theatre at Hoffland, are at
tracting much attention by the com
mendable manner in which they are
bringing excellent picture plays to the
busy little potash city near Alliance.
Messrs. Ostenberg and Davis are
connected in an official capacity with
the Potash Reduction Company and
maintain a first-class, up-to-date thea
tre. They have recently Installed a
aew Motiograph 1917 Model A pic
ture machine which throws the pic
tures on the screen In a clear way
that does not strain the eye nor tire
the person watching.
The people of Hoffland and sur
rounding vicinity should pride them
selves on having within easy reach a
high class plase of amusement like
the A-Muse-U. The Herald wishes
the proprietors success. Their dis
lay announcement elsewhere in this
Issue Is well worth reading.
Miss Avis Joder Is home from
Scottsbluff following a week spent
there with friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Burton Rowland
leave this week for a visit at Omaha.
VVFUTOVFIH HOY IN
AVIATION SMtfOOL
Captain Allen O. Fisher of Chad
rop, Who Is In Alliance this week, has
just received a letter from B. O.
Westover, better known as "Nip," n
Hon of District Judge W. H. West
over of ltushville. "Nip" is a brother
of Joe Weatover, formerly of Al
liance. The former la now a member
of the aviation school at Columbus,
Ohio, and soon will be dropping com
pliments on the heads of the Ger
mans in France.
"Nip" writes a very Interesting let
ter. In the leter he says: "I have
just completed my work here, have
graduated, and will doubtless find
myself in France within three weeks.
For the past six weeks all the grad
uates have been sent directly to
France or Italy and I am mighty
eager to follow them. We have faith
in the cause for which we fight and
we will never leave the Bhores of
France until we have taught the
Huns what It Is to be thoroughly and
everlastingly whipped."
That Alliance needs more houses
is a generally conceded fact. Comes
now the Lincoln Hotel Company of
Lincoln with a proposition to the
Alliance Community Club to build
twenty live or more residences in
Alliance.
The proposition Is a simple one,
easy to understand, and one that
set uis buainetis-llke all the way
through, to those who havo gone Into
the matter. It Is simply this:
The Lincoln Hotel Company will
build twenty-five houses in Alliance,
work to be started as soon as ten
prospective builders are signed up. '
The builder must own the lot upon
which the residence Is to be built
i.nd must put up 40 per cent of the
cost of the house. The size and kind
of house to be built will, in each in- j
stance, be. determined by the pros
pective builder. One may want a
four-room cottage, another may de
Hire a six-room bungalow, and yet
another may be in the market for an
eight or ten-room residence. It Is all
up to the owner. I
It Is stated that the only limit to
the number of houses that may be
built Is the limit to the number of
persons who desire to build and who '.
meet the conditions stipulated. The j
Lincoln company Is a building com
pany and is able to go ahead and
start work and rush it to completion
whenever the local parties who may
be interested are ready to go ahead.
Secretary Fisher, of the Alliance
Community Club, took the proposi-1
t Ion up with the company and hopes
hat U can be carried out, realizing
that one of the great factors neces
sary In the advancement of Alliance
is more residences.
It is probable that this proposition
will be considered at a mass meeting
to be called soon to consider a hotel .
if ankm aI Kv ln '
company
an In this section of the state. Will
pay salary or commission, or both.
