ALLIANCE BRIEFS
The average Alliance citizen or,,
cltizeness is a fairly pious sort oi
person, especially in public, but
crossings like e have during these
little spells of eccentricity on the
part of the weather are enough to
try the patience of Carrie Nation or
any other early Christian martyr.
The Herald reporter stood at one
street corner for three minutes the
other day, waiting for a favorable
tide in order that he might swim
across safely, and during those three
minutes heard words come from
mortal lips that should have been
left unsaid. And from the reporter's
heart came a fervent "Amen" to
every imprecation that was heard.
Some of these days, after most o the
mud is gone, the paving contractor
who had nerve enough to Jerk out
all of the crossings will come to the
rescue with a carload of cinders. To
paraphrase one of the martyrs: "O
paving, paving! What crimes are
committed in thy name!"
The Opera House block, which
houses a number of stores, is blos
soming out these days. For the past
two weeks, with the exception of the
time when the slight flurry of snow
prevented, workmen have been busy
installing the latest designs of plate
glass, copper-cornered fronts. The
Rheln Hardware company was the
first, and in fairly rapid succession
the bakery followed. At present the
front of the Highland-Holloway
company is boarded up. Some of
these days that corner will fairly
dazzle the eyes.
The high school track team has
been having hard luck. No sooner
had they organized and cut down (or
pieced out) B. V. D.'s for track cos
tumes than the storm came on and
put an end to outdoor practice. They
have been running wild in the high
school gymnasium for the past week.
but some of these days, shortly after
4 o clock, Alliance citizens will see
some animated underwear advertise
ments trotting along the streets. The
boys are not downhearted, though,
and are doing their best to get in
condition to participate in the inter
high school meet to be held at
Scottsbluff May 8. A preliminary
contest is scheduled for April 3 at
Alliance, when the Alliance track
team will go to the mat with the
team from Hemlngford.
W. J. Straley of Clyde Park,
Mont., who is in the city this week
visiting a niece, Mrs. Nova Taylor,
Just returned from a month's stay
in Missouri, natal state and youthful
stamping ground of Chief Taylor
Despite the best sort of southern
hospitality, Mr. Straley didn't have
the best kind of a time, due to the
infernal weather. He declares that
; it rained at least every other day
while he was in Missouri, and the
dnva it riirin't rain It' lronr ntlncr Ilka
. - -"'"c
ii mienueu 10. onaiiions in .on
tana are not the most favorable
Last summer's drouth was a hard
blow to the Gtockman, many of whom
sent their stock out of the state,
Those who kept them would have
made money, Mr. Straley Bays,
they had given them away last fall
and bought them back this spring.
Hay prices range around $42 a ton,
and it's hard to get at any price. He
will remain in the city as long as
the chief can persuade him to stay.
Newcomers to Alliance are also
fervent In their remarks concerning
the mud. They say that the average
citizen doesn't have to cross all the
bad crossings, but that If one is
looking for housekeeping rooms, it
is advisable to take every street as
it comes. Alliance landlords and
landladies don't have to worry about
finding new. roomers. Every room
that is advertised gets half a hun
dred replies before the newspaper Is
dry. And the poor people who ad
vertise for accommodations pet
mighty few responses. " The Home
Builders' association ought to be
oversubscribed about forty times iu
order to take care of the demanl.
Rapid progress is belne made on
the new two-story brick office hi ii.l-
ing for the Forest Lumber comnanv.
The walls are up, the rafters for the
root in place and with a few days
of fair weather, the building should
be ready for inside finishing.
The snowstorms nlaved hob with
the Imperial programs for the first
two or three days this week, but
manager JJuliuque managed to have
on hand a sufficient reserve of good
films to put on attractive nroerains
for every show. It was impossible.
or course, to show the programs as
advertised unless the films arrived,
and mighty few of the natrons
crabbed about it. With train serv
ice getting back to normal, no
further difficulty of this kind is ex
pected. Usually the people with wet
feet are the most critical In the
world, but Alliance people, like Alli
ance weatner. Haven't been actlnz ac
cording to schedule the past few
days.
The hearing In probata court on
the will of Margaret J. Kelly has
been postponed until Mar 28 by
agreement of those interested. The
weather also operated to delay two
cases on the county conrt docket.
James EL Wilson Ti. Cha.rle Hallev
and Trabert vs. Deweeter, who were
unaoie to come to Alliance.
The next meeting of the city coun
cil la set for next Monday night.
April 26, at which time the city rote
will be canvassed and other, matters
of business attended to. Possibly the
council will decide to employ Mayor
Kodgcrs as city manager at this
meeting. A majority of the council
members have, it is said, xepressed
themselves in favor of such a course.
Mrs. Emily VV. Hornberger of Lin
coln, director of the bureau of ch 11
welfare for Nebraska, was In Alli
ance Thursday. She Is making a
survey of conditions in the western
part of the state, visiting the various
county seats. She made a special In
vestigation of the Oswald Klttleman
family while at Alliance.
William Morris, an aged Alliance
citizen, suffered a broken hip this
morning as a result of a fall down a
cellarway. He was reported to be
resting easily, but his advanced age
makes tne accident a rerious one.
Judge L. A. Berry has purchased
the residence at 930 Laramie of Mrs.
Louise Donees, and will take posses
sion next Thursday.
A special meeting of the directors
of the Alliance chamber of commerce
was called for 4 p. m. Thursday. The
directors discussed the plan to raise
$2,000 for repairs at the fair
grounds by popular subscription, and
took steps to speed up the work. Al
ready there are sufficient horses In
training at the grounds to occupy
practically all of the available Btalls
and within the next few weeks there
will be a still larger number of ar
rivals.

County Returns
Only seven precincts in Box Butte
county polled a vote in the primary
election. The big storm prevented
election supplies being delivered
save in the city of Alliance, in Hem-
ingfird and in Boyd and Lake pre
cincts. Even in the precincts where
supplies were received, a light vote
was cast, although there was somen
interest in the election, especially
on the part of the women. In sev
eral of the wards women were on
the election or counting boards.
In Second ward, where W. R.
Harper was a candidate for precinct
committeeman, the counting board
took a stand which deprived Mr.
Harper of a number of votes. Ills

friends were writing his name In.
On about fifty ballots the name was
written, but the voters neglected to
place a cross In the square opposite
the name, and the board decided that
there were not legal votes, in spite
of the fact that the law plainly reads
thrt whenever the Intent of a voter
can be determined, be Judges shall
allow the ballot. It made no differ
erencc in the result, serving only tc
diminish Harper's total, but in sonic
rases It might serve to lose an elec
tion. Everybody For Harper
Mr. Harper was the recipient of a
number of votes in every other ward,
which, of course, were not allowed,
Inasmuch as he cannot represent
several precincts, the voters evident
ly believing that he was running for
his place as county chairman instead
of precinct committeeman. The
chairman is selected by the commit
tee, and In all probability Mr. Har
per will have the place again, but
the voters apparently wanted to
make sure of it.
Official tabulations have not been
made on county offices, but most of
the candidates were without opposi
tion. In the non-partisan ballot the fol
lowing votes were cast in the county
with two precincts to hear from:
Chief Justice supreme court Grant
G. Martin, 831; Andrew M. Morrls

Good lias Safe Lead
Reports from the Twenty-eighth
district show James W. Good to have
a good lead over Edgar C. Cole and
George E. Gorton for nomination for
state legislator. In Box Butte county,
Good received 224 votes, to 69 for
Gorton and 59 for Cole.
No figures for some of wards were
saved on anything but the chief
offices, so some points are left in the
dark. Unofficial figures indicate that
the city's bonds for water and sewer
extension carried by a four to one
majority.
