For the third time within a
month, The Herald has been asked
to submit bids on printing 200,000
coplea of a forty-eight page book set
ting forth the proposed amendments
to the constitution of the Slate of
Nebraska as adopted by the consti
tutional conrentlon. It's a nice con
tract, but we have declined to enter
the competition. The last Invitation
came some six days after the bids
were due to be opened, due probably
to the efficient postal service under
Mr. Durleson. and while under ordi
nary circumstances, we would be
filled with wrath at the delay, we
feel about as badly as we do when
some of these press agent or pub'Ic
ity stories fall to arrive. As a mat
ter of fact, this whole business Is a
tremendous waste of money. Not
one voter in a thousand will ever
read his copy of the pamphlet, and
the whole result will be to waste a
lot of good money as well as a lot
of nice No. 1 print, the price of
which is going higher every day. If
the public must be informed, the
cheapest way to do it would be to
publish the stuff In the newspaper in
each county having the largest paid-in-advance
circulation. (In Box Butte
county this would mean The Her
ald.) There would be a few peo
ple, of course, who wouldn't get to
read it if published in the papers, but
it's getting so that it's a safe bet that
the man who doesn't take a news
paper can't read, anyway. Our con
stitutional convention is going to
prove a pretty expensive luxury,
when the totals are all in and the
cost is known.
Now that The Herald's subscrip
tion contest has been completed, and
the figures give us a big lead In cir
culation, not only In the city of Alii-
We Have Just Re
ceived from Mr.
Frankle
the newest novelties of the mar
kets in neckwear and shirts.

mire, but In Box Butte county, sur
rounding territory or any place
that circulation counts, for that mat
ter you can't blame us for being
pleased and letting other folks knew
about it. In all our newspaper fta-;
reer, we have managed to be Asso
ciated not only with the best, but
with the largest circulation in the
field. Especially is it gratifying toj
know that we and our. advertisers
talk to the "big crowd" all thu
time. You'll har from time to time
the sound of the hammer; sometiow
the word will get to you that sub
scribers put on by means of a con
test are not "stayers" and that thy
don't read the paper they take..
The Herald's contest was a record
breaker lu more than one way. Not
only were the receipts larger than
for ninety-nine out of a hundred pa
pers in our class, but the subscrip
tions were for one or two years, on
the average, showing that the desire
was to take The Herald, rather than
to help the contestants. The Her
ald owners know a good newspaper
when they see one, and they are con
fident that they have put out a pa
per, not only that is readable and
newsy, but that is good enough, in
comparison with any competition in
the field, to hold the subscribers
that it gets. Once we get a man on
our list, we'll see that the paper is
good enough to hold him. We dis
like to appear boastful, but we have
a hunch that people don t subscribe
for The Herald at a higher price
than they have been paying without
feeling that they are getting some
thing for their money. One more
feature that is Interesting is the
number of subscriptions we have re
ceived to start at some future date
two, three, five, six and even eight
months from the time they were
given. It doesn't take a very wise
man to guess that after that date
there'll be some families taking only
one newspaper, and that The Herald.
We're feeling pretty well pleased,
thank you.

MUCH INTEREST IN
OIL PIPE LINE
(Continued from page 1.)
The main pipe line could furnish
fuel to the sugar factories now op
erating at Scottsbluff, Gerlng and
Bayard. The new factories to be
built at Mitchell and Minatare would
also be supplied.
A branch pipe line could be run
from Bridgeport to Alliance, where
it would furnish fuel for the new
packing plant and for the other city
industries which use large amouuts
of coal for fuel. The same branch
line could be extended to Hoffland,
Autioch and Lakeside to furnish gas
from fuel for the potash plants. It
is estimated that a saving of over
f 2,000 per day In fuel cost would be
made for the potash plants in the
district. T. E. Stevens of Omaha,
president of the Potash Reduction
company of Hoffland, is of the opin
ion that this might have a great deal
to do with making the western Ne
braska potash industry a permanent
one.
Another branch pipe line could be
run from ridgeport to Sidney and as
far down the Burlington toward
Denver as desired. Another Hue
could be from Grand Island to St.
Paul and from Grand Island to Hast
ings. A line from Grand Island to
Lincoln would care for the capital
city and for Aurora, York, Seward
and eatrice. A branch line north
from Columbus would supply Madi
son, Norfolk, Wayne and Sioux City,
la. An extension of the line from
Omaha to Council Bluffs would be of
much benefit to the latter city.
Most of the cities in eastern Ne
braska now have plants which make
artificial gas. These same plants
could connect with tha natural gas
pipe line and distribute natural gas
to their customers at a much less
cost to all .and still make their usual
margin of profit. No change would
be required in furnaces, boilers,
stoves or lighting systems which now
use artificial gas. Furnaces end
boilers which now use coal could
make the required changes at a non.
lnal cost
Should the supply of gas ever be
come exhausted in the Lance Crook
field, and there is very little llkell
Eooa or it lor many years, ine gas
from other fields could be pipe! or
the tame pipe linea could be used for
thv transportation of crude oil from
the eastern Wyoming fields. From
present Indications there appears to
bs an Inexhaustible supply nf cat
ural gas in the Wyoming fields.
The suggestion has been mad that
a combination oil and gas pipe line
be constructed. This wouli be of
assistance to the refiners at Omaha.
It Las also been suggested that tho
piopo8ition of building a concrete
lice, Instead of using metal pipe, be
considered. With plenty of gravel
all along the Platte river, concrete

head of Registered Herefords; herd bulls; farm
and range bulls; heifers; yearlings or twos; great
big wide-backed producing cows, a great number
of which bavo calves at foot and are In calf again

lost through speculation, not through breeding
Herefords. A farmer or ranchman who will In
vest in a few good cows and a bull will in a lew
years become independent.
61 BULLS
Including 9 herd bulls of established merit. Beau
Clayton (a Beau Donald" bred sire); Cherry Boy,
a grandson of Columbus 35th; the $3,000 Beau
Simpson by Beau Victorious (a line bred Beau

Modest Mischief, Beau Dandy and Beau's Expander
(3 grandsons of the "Mighty Beau Mischief"):
Prince Stanway (grandson of Bright Stanway), and
Beau rrince 26th (grandson of Beaumont). The
15 two-year-olds and 37 yearling bulls, sired most
ly by Lord Dudley by Dudley and Cherry Boy are
a very high class lot of farm and range bulls.
70 HEIFERS
About equally divided, yearlings and two-year-olds.
They are sired by Lord Dudley, Cherry Boy and
Beau Donald 1st. They are the rugged and thrifty
type with sixe and substance, with good heads and
horns. A chance to get a choice lot of heifers of
uniform quality, breeding and character. They are
foundation material of the most profitable kind.
202 COWS
A great number with calves at foot. These calves
are nearly all sired by Cherry Boy and Beau Clay
ton. They are the thick, deep, blocky kind with
lots of quality. The cows in calf to the richly-bred
herd bulls mentioned above. No one ever lost
money in buying a cow with calf at foot and bred
again. .The blood of Anxiety 4th predominates
these big, roomy cows, through such sires as Lord
Dudley, Beau Donald 72d, Beau Donald 37th,
Royal Grove by Beau Donald 28th, Bright Duke by
Lamplighter, and others. '101 Cows and Heifers
all sired by the great Anxiety 4th bred sire. Lord
Dudley by Andrew by Don Carlos, offer breeders
an unparalleled opportunity to buy 10 or a car
load of cows all bred alike.
THE BIG SALES
Furnish the greatest selection and the only real
bargains to be found. The yearly Roundup sales
have been big money-makers for all who attended.
The Rankin sales at Tarkio, Mo., were the great
est bargain counters the Hereford public ever en
Joyed. The cattle bought at these sales doubled
and trebled in value and many obtained even more.
The speculators reaped their biggest harvest but
those who kept them for their breeding herds have
profited most.

GET THE TOPS, the cream of the herd, the choic
est breeding Btock heretofore priceless there is
nothing reserved.
Come. I want to show you more great produc
ing cows with size, bone, substance and quality
