SCHOOL HEAD
THINKS MORE
' ROOM NEEDED
iSAYS. BOTH PROPOSED BUILD
INGS SHOULD BE BUILT
Superintendent Pnte Thinks That a
Longer Delay Would Be' Detri
mental to Schools
City Manager Kemmish's tabulation
of the bonded indebtedness of the city
of Alliance, published Tuesday, has
.aroused considerable comment. The
tabulation showed the effect in in
creased taxes of the issuance of $2o0,
000 school bonds, voted over a year
ago, which have been held up by the
.school board until conditions became
sufficiently normal to warrant going1
ahead with the building program. The
suggestion that possibly the schools
-could manage to get along with one
new building this year, and delay the
erection of a new high school for a
year or so, until the city has had a
chance to get upon its financial feet,
-does not make much of a hit in school
circles.
According to Superintendent W. R.
Pate, the schools are in as crowded a
condition as ever, and while the board,
in order to avoid wasting money, de
layed a much needed building pro
gram, conditions are such that the
board is warranted in going ahead
Avith its program, provided the busi
ness judgment approves the bids that
-will be submitted. According to Mr.
Pate, there isn't a city in Nebraska
that can show as good a school equip
ment as Alliance for the amount of
money invested, and he believes that
the judgment of the board can be
trusted. The board purchased no high
priced equipment and simply held off
building during the peak prices. The
schools have had to get along under
crowded conditions, and indications are
.nai tins year tne situation will De
Avorse than ever.
Mr. Pate has furnished the follow
ing summary of the situation:
1919-20 x 1920-21
Enrollment 1157 - 12,02
Average Attendance 69 . 999
"Some people may think the atten
dance has fallen away this year due to
the fact that there was less work in
the. city than heretofore but the fol
lowing figures show that such was not
the case.

"If the students in school the Ias of
"May this year .return next fall, and
vt have the normal number entering
the kindergarten it will be necessary
to employ two teachers more than em
ployed this year at Central school, and
one more at Emerson; and every room
was Ailed this year in both buildings.
"The enrollment at the high school
this year was 254 with a maximum.
fseatmg capacity of 200. In order to
take care of the students it was nec
essary to use both the commercial
loom and the assembly as study rooms
and pass students in shifts back and
forth when the commercitf room was
needed for a recitation room. The
ninth grade this year number 108,
The number of eighth grade graduates
in both the city and county was larger
than ever before so the ninth grade
next year will probably be larger than
this year and to take care of them
in the room we now have, will be a
real problem,
"If the enrollment is much larger
than last year, a3 it inow promises to
be, it will be necessary to use the high
school building only for recitation pur
poses and. have all studying done at
home a course not at all for the wel
fare of the students and usually .re
sorted to in high schools only where
fire or some other calamity has sud
denly decreased the amount of school
room. To rent rooms outside the
regular school buildings, as may be
necessary for the overflow at Central
and Emerson schools next year, is a
temporary expedient and detrimental
to the students so segregated as well
as expensive to the school district in
(he long run. . . ..
"The suireestion that Central school
te used as a junior high school can-1
not be followed, as Central school is
built as a grade building and the size
and the plan of the rooms preventa its
use as a junior high. Departmental
work Is now being done in the seventh
and eighth grades of both Emerson
and Central, and if such were not the
case the students already in these
buildings could not be housed there."

night and burned to th ground with
its contents, which included twenty
tons of bailed alfalfa, two hundred and
sixty bushels of flax seed a buggy, a

but his horses were all in the pasture
at the time and he had no stock-in the
barn.' He got the harness out, but that
was "all he could do, as the blaze was
under great headway when discovered.

five hundred on the contents.
LLOYD THOMAS
TALKS TO MEN
OF LIONS CLUB
TELLS
OF WHAT HE SAW
SOUTHERN TRIP
ON
Urges Good Roads to Build Up Tourist
Travel and to Attract New
Farmers to County
Lloyd C. Thomas, former editor of
The Herald, addre -;sed the members of
the Alliance Lions club at their noon
luncheon Thursday at the Alliance
hotel Fern Garden. Mr. Thomas told
of business condition; in the south as
he found them during his recent auto
mobile tour through that section of the
country.
Ihe speaker pointed out that Alli
ance is faced with a wonderful oppor
tunity to grow by completing the
Black Hills highway north from id
ney and by completing the Potash
highway westward through the sand
hills from Broken Bow. He told of the
advantages of tourist travel, not alone
from the money spent by the sight
seers, Dut dv giving tnem an oppor
tunity to look over the country. Alli
ance is at present somewhat isolated,
and the completions of these highways
should be the mam objective of all or
ganizations that have the interests of
the city at heart.
Mr. Thomas said, in part:
For a number of years it had been
my desire to explore the sunny south
in the winter time. You know that we
all get that desire along in the middle
of winter, especially when the ther
mometer gets down to about 20 de
grees, below and when we get tired of
shoveling coal into the hungry maw
of the furnace. So when the oppor
tunity came to me early this year to
make' a trip through the southern
states in the interest of the Kansas
City Tourists' Information Bureau, I
gladly accepted. It will be my pur
pose in this brief talk to endeavor to
give to you an idea of what I learned
on this trip, telling you a little, per
haps, regarding the physical charac
teristics of the country, business con
ditions and the Deople themselves.
Kansas City is known as the gate-
wav of the southwest. It is tne rail
road center and although its climate
is hardly enjoyable at any time of the
year it is an excellent business town.
After spending a coupie oi uu mcic,
we started for the south, driving along
excellent highways towards Paola, in
a southwesterly direction. Just north
p-inia saw our first oil wells, in
the northern and eastern edge of the
fummia Kansas shallow fields. In that
territory the traveler is impressed by
the rolling and sometimes -timbered
country, the well-graded, weii-aepi
highways, sometimes oiled, and the
neat and prosperous appearing farms.
Hedges are more common than wire
fences and frequently you will see an
entire farm surrounded by high,
Chanute, Kas., ia noted for its im
mense oil refineries. Coffeyville will
be remembered by U3 because of its
southern appearance. And we found
there much of usual southern hotel
menu biscuits with every meal and
cockroaches in every room.
We arrived in Oklahoma with the
wind at our backs one of the famous
"northers" that the natives down there

BROADWATER

ANCE THURSDAY
ALL!-
Plan to Secure Volunteer Labor
Outline Road to County
, Line
to
A delegation of fourteen Broad
water boosters arrived in. Alliance
Thursday r.oon, and a meeting was
held with Alliance business men at
the chamber of commerce rooms. No
banquet was prepared, as the Broad
water men failed to announce their
coming, but the word was passed and
a fairly representative crowd gathered
together in a few minutes.
The' Broadwater men came m five
automobiles, following the route Ihty
favor for a state road which will run
through Morrill county and assist in
establishing connections between this
city and the Lincoln highway. Two
routes are favored by various ele
ments in Morrill county, one of them
by way of Bridgeport and the other
by way of Broadwater. One of the.e
roads goes south and the other nest
of the Burlington Tracks, and the sen
timent is fairly well divided in Mor
rill county over the two routes. Both
Bridgeport and Broadwater have a
commissioner, and the third commis
sioner lives in a distant part of the
county and so far has not been won
over by the advocates of either route.
The Box Butte county commission
ers have expressed themselves as will
ing to recommend a state aid road to
connect up with either one of the
routes that may be approved by the
Morrill board. The Broadwater men
favor a route which passes by the Vic
Covalt ranch, leading south one mile
from the Murphy ranch, on around the
so-called wet meadows, through the
Covalt pasture and striking the old
road one mile west of the Covau
ranch. ' -
The Broadwater men were all mem
bers of the chambers of commerce of
that city, and formed a lively crowd.
They explained that the route they fa
vored would cost $10,000 less to build
(han the other suggested route. Their
plan is to get ranchers along the route
interested. They will ask for volun
teer workers to put the road in shape
and get a large part of it done, and
with this showing they feel that their
chances to secure the rbad through
Broadwater will be considerably bet
ter. '
. The Broadwater chamber of com
merce met Tuesday evening, and the
trip to Alliance was planned. The
men who came were: Ray Harriet
Charles Merritt, County Commissioner
D. VV. Draper, Dr. Anderson, Robert
Williams. Joe Covalt, Haver Bruner,
John Adams, W. D. Fisher, Sam Mur
phy, A. M. Hensley, James P. Murphy
and V. H. Hirst.
It is understood that James P. Mur
phy, having faith in the favored route,
offered to purchase the treats for the
crowd if any automobile got stuck on
tne trip to Alliance, nay names
made a wide turn and had to be res
cued, and the Broadwater gang
charged him with doing it iniention
ally. .
St. Joseph's Hospital
Staff Physicians Met
Thursday Evening
A combined meeting of the St
Joseph hospital staff and Box Butte
county medical society was held last
night at St. Joseph' hospital, follow
ing a supper given to the doctors by
the sisters of the hospital. Excepting
Dr. W. L. Bowman, who had been
called to HAningford in the afternoon,
all the physicians and surgeons of
Alliance and Dr. Cowles of Lakeside
were nresenL
Mrs. Lee Farmer favored the doc
tors with several good vocal and piano
selections.
Dr. A. Clarence Schoch. former in
structor at the Chicago poly-clinic and
late attending surgeon at the Henrotin
Memorial hospital of Chicago, read a
well-prepared and interesting medical
naner. which was heartily applauded
by the other doctors and interestingly
debated. Dr. George Hand, himself an
accomplished athlete, spoke on the im
Dortance of physical culture as a fac
tor in preventing diseases, dwelling
especially on its necessity for girU and
women.
The climax to the business of the
meeting was reached when the hospital
announced , its purchase or an A-ray
machine. All the doctors were en
thused to learn that St. Joseph hos
nital is cettinz the largest and most
modern X-ray equipment made. The
machine' is to be installed in about
thre weeks.
Many. other things concerning the
u-oifara of the medical profession as
well as of the hospital were discussed
in efforts to make Alliance the great
medical and hosDital center of west
ern Nebraska.- Good fellowship and
jovial spirit characterized the meet
ing.
Mrs. J. A. Luttrell left Friday eve

and relatives in umana ana Meirose,

BENEFIT DANCE
FOR GAMPFIRE
GIRLS TONIGHT
ELKS C LUB TO ENTERTAIN PUB
LIC IN THEIR BEHALF
Extensive Program Arranged for the
Entertainment of Hundreds
Who Purchased Tickets
It's going to be one large evening
at the Elks club. The docks have
been cleared for action, and the en
tire building will be turned over to
the committee in charge of the Camp
fire Girls' benefit dance, which is ex
pected to practically raise the amount
needed to take the girls to Jot Springs
for a camping trip this summer.
The chief amusement w ill be danc
ing, of course. But the girls and the
committee will dispose of around five
hundred tickets, and while some of the
purchasers won't show up, there'll be
more people than can conveniently
danco in the building .at one time.
Everyone will have an opportunity to
dance often and late, for the lid is off
for this party.
But, between dances, there will be
something stirring. A more or less
formal program has been planned.
Mayor R. M. Hampton has consented
to make a brief opening address, and
later in the evening Al Gafin will
make the speech of his life. He's
been reading up and practicing and
carrying a textbook on oratory in his
inside coat pocket for weeks in prepa
ration for this event, and he modestly
admits that it will be good. There will
be some toe dancing by the ' small
daughter of Tony Nel.-on, and possibly
a song or two and some musicul selec
tions when the dancers stop to rest
their feet.
There will also be some singing led
by a band of practiced Campfire girls,
and the crowd will be expected to
join in. Last, but not least, it is ru
mored that some of the old-time Elks,
who remember events in the dark
ages, will have charge of the card
room, and they will bo ready and will
ing to assist any of the ladies in learn
ing the mysteries of that great Ameri
can game, draw poker. The men are
tirerumed to know all about this game,
but most men refuse to teach their
wive anything about it, on the theory
thatwomen can spend enough money
anyway.
The ticket sales have been proceed
ing splendidly, according to the com
mittee. A band of Campfire girls, in
costume, went throuirh the railroad
ards piloted by A. V. Gavin Thurs
day morning, and handed out tickets
as fast as they could rake in the
money. Another band left Id he af
ternoon for some of the neighboring
towns, and this morning and after
noon they were busy "mopping up
the business section. Everything is all
set for the nartv. and those who fail
to show up will miss one of the live
liest Elk entertainments in years

Percentages of reductions computad
by members of the board gave the av

source estimated the annual reduction
in wages at approximately $400,000,

railroads made their hardest fight, is
to be reduced 6 to 8 la cents an hour,
cutting freight truckers' average
monthly wages to $y.10 ana tracK ia-

still gives section men an averago

Colored Crapshooters
Contribute Money to "
Support of Schoola
Three colored crapshooters Wednes
day mornini; contributed $15 apiece to
the support of the schools, l he dona-
tion was made in police court after
their amount of the fine had been sett,
by Judge Roberts, and it was paid un
willingly.
The trio were arrested by Qhief
Jeffers Tuesday afternoon, on the rear
of the lot on Second street which,
hou?es a dwelling and a blacksmith
phop. The galloping domino experts
were secure from the public gaze be-
cause thay were surrounded entirely
by a high board fence that stretched
up into the air at least seven feet. At
one time there was a gate to this en.
closure, but Chief Jeffers noticed, a
few javs ago, that it had been nailed
UhuL About 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
jie hoisted himself to the top of tha
fence,. and found a-crap game going
at fun t;t There were rive players,
an,i the moment the chief was per-
cejVed, there was a scramble of arm
and legs, and the colored brethren
made an effort to shin over the top of
the fence. Three of thera made tha
grade, and two of these thiee got
pi0ye, got to the top of the fence and
shinned on the other side, concealing
himself among rome old farm machin
ery near the blacksmith shop, from
which hiding place he was dragged
forth to the cooler. Joe Cayler and
i the dwelling house on the lot, were tha
two wn0 were captured. Chief
Jeffers could have shot the fleeing
gamblers, but decided to pick them Up
later instead.
Arraigned in court, the trio denied
gambling, although five ivory bonea
were taken from Porter'a pockets. Peta
Schroeder, government road man, w
was present at the raid, testified as t
u..hat- ho saw and Judge Roberta
deemed the evidence conclusive against
all of them.
Gooden told Judge Roberts mat in
reasoa that he nailed up the gate wa
because Chief Jeffers and Officer atiu
well were alwaya prowling around, and
he proposed to stop it. Chief Jeffera
informed him that the chances of atop
ping were poorer now than tney eva
were berore. j
