Lloyd Thomas Talks
to Chamber of Commerce
at Monday Luncheon
Lloyd Thomas, in his talk to the
members of the Alliance chamber of
commerce at the Monday noonday
luncheon said in part: "During a
period of ninety days, which included
visits to many cities the site of Alli
ance and larger, and during which we
traveled over 6,400 mile, I had the
pleasure of meeting with chambers ot
commerce and other like organizations
at many meetings like this one today.
I found that the problems of the or
dinary city are much like those of
Alliance and I found that the cities
which have the live business organiza
tions are the cities which are pro
gressing." "Alliance is the best known town of
its size in this part of the west," he
Raid. "She occupies an enviable posi
tion because of the wide publicitywhich
has been secured for her during the
past year or more. Credit for this is
due largely to the good work of the
local newspaper men and newspaper
correspondents, who have seen that the
city dailies have been kept supplied
with interesting news material about
our town and county. This advertis
ing is of great value to the town and
should be encouraged."
Referring to the farmers and stock
raisers in Alliance territory and the
help which should be given them by
the chamber of commerce, Mr. Thomas
said that the estimated price of Box
Butte spuds this fall is from 50 cents
to 60 cents per bushel and that with
a good yield the farmers here could
make money at those prices, but that
unless freight rates were reduced they
would prove a serious handicap in
marketing this years crop. He said
that in carload lots it costs 29 cents to
fhip 100 pounds of potatoes from Alli
ance to Lincoln or Omaha and 54 cents
to ship the same amount to Kanxas
City, one of the leading markets. The
chamber of commerce is now actively
engaged in the fight to get these
freight rates reduced in time to care
for this year's crop. He also stated
that it coHts 17 cents per bushel to
Fhip wheat from Alliance to Omaha.
With dollar wheat in sight thrs fall
he stated that this freight rate was
going o hit the grower in this territory
mighty hard.
In speaking on the road situation,
Mr. Thomas urged that the stockmen
present from the territory east of Alli
ance, traversed by the Potanh highway
lend their support and their efforts
towards the securing of suitable nt,ht-of-way
and the building of passable
roads through the bad sandhill dis
tricts. Addressing the visitors from
the North Platte valley territory he
urged that they join in the effort to
get the needed highways constructed
through western Nebraska, stating
that communities and towns benefit
by co-operation and that the interests
of western Nebraska towns and com
munities are identical in these mat
ters. In concluding his talk Mr. Th mas
rendered "The Land of Box Butte."
TIIE LAND OF BOX BUTTE
know a land where the hand of
God Himself has fashioned a garden
spot of marvelous extant and won
drous beauty, a table land upon which
the western winds play hide and seek,
a land upon which the gentle, cooling
breezes of the snow-capped mountains
play during the starlit summer nigl'ts,
and upon which the warm breaths rf

winter, making this land the mecca
of the heat burdened of the east in
summer and of the shivering inhabit
ant of the frozen north land in the
winter.
This is Box Butte, where day by dty
the bosom of the earth is kissed by
the sunbeams that caress the fields of
green and moistened by the steady,
plenteous showers that bring smiles to
the busy farmers who till the scil
with tractor and with team.
This is Box Butte, where by night
the fragrant pine-clothed ridges in the
north and the massive, green-clad sand
hills in the east and south, stand sil
ent guard, while away to the west the
slowly setting sun sinks low behind
the Rockies whose shadows linger long
oer plain and dale.
This is Box Butte, whose beckoning
smile to the weary hemeseeker is as
fair as on that day when the first
sun pushed back the curtain of night
anil touched the horizon with crimson
streaks heralding Creation's dawn.
This la Box Butte, the land of the
glad hand, who3e outstretched arms
beckon invitingly to the stranger from
all the world, that he may come bud
know the charms that are hers.
This is Box Butte, rich beyond court
in her hidden wealth, whose fertile
soil, richened and strengthened by un
seed food for plants and all that grows
puts forth a bounteous harvest of
golden corn, hard-shelled wheat and
plump potatoes.
Thia is Box Butte, the land '-Where
the West Begins"; where yesterday
the crafty Indian on shaggy pony rode
over the fenceless plain and who with
flint-tipped shafts brought low the
mighty bison, the mighty king cf
beasts, who grew powerful and ftronr
on luscious grasses that nature cured.
Where winding trails led to the water
hole, today broad, well-kept, high
crowned roads stretch out invitingly
for miles and miles, between scented
fields of green. Where the smoke from
the Indian's campfire lazily wafted up
ward, today rise the chimneys of in
dustry, and where the trail of freignt
er and immigrant mingled across the
plains, today two shining bands of
steel bear onward the speeding train,
This is Box Butte, to which the
world will come and linger and praise.
She strides along with the vigorous,
swinging pace of youth.'-in time with
the spirit of progress, a song of icy
on her lips and in her eyes the light
of determination. For she has found
herself and in the years to come will
be known far and wide as the bread
basket of the west, the home of the
famous Box Butte potato, equalled by
none and approached by few.
This is Box Butte. Her broad ranges
which are yet untilled provide grazing
ground for countless thousands of
sleek cattle, while her fertile acres,
tilled by the hand or man, produce an
nually harvests of unbelievable value.
And this is Alliance, the gem that
shines and sparkles on the broad
bosom of Box Butte. A city of broad,
naved streets, sightly business blocks
and stately public buildings. A city,
young in time but old in wisdom,
destined to grow in coming years for
to her, the metropolis of the west, will
come a new era. Her past is but a
promise of her future. The achieve
ments that have been hers are but a
foreshadow of those to come. Her
feet are cased in Seven League boots
of progress and the coming decade
will see a new Alliance, a better Alli
ance, a city where none are idle and
all are happy and industrious, where
work is here for all and where there
is room for those who enter "the gate
way of the west," over whose streets
there shines in letters broad and high
the word "Welcome."

If the University of Nebraska does

is liable to find itself deluged with a
storm of butterflies from the direction
of Alliance, due to the statement of a
local "scientist" that the beautiful but
almost numberless butterflies which
are now so prevalent here are worth
ten dollars each at the state university.
