figures, it costs the tavpnyers of Alli
ance more to maintain the dep.i'tm?Tit
last year than the entire sum pi id cut
in fire losses by various companies. He
holds, too, that the insurance compan
ies have not made rate reductions as
often as the city has improved its fire
fighting apparatus, and that (. long
as the city is well protected, Additional
improvements, for the 1 enofH of the
insurance companies, should not be
made if the city cannot afford them.
.Mayor Has Much Confidence in the
Ability of the City Manager
and Tells the World.
State Fire Marshal C. E. Hartford
seeks the limelight in Lincoln, where
he has apparently handed to the daily
r.ewspapers copies of letters exchanged
between himself and Mayor R. M.
Hampton of this city. It would seem
that City Manager Kemmish's pro
posed changes in the fire department
are not meeting with absolute ap
proval in the city, and that some per
sons have complained to the fire mar
shal that the efficiency of the depart
ment is to be impaired. The chief
complaints were that the two paid
flremen on the city's payroll were to be
dispensed with, and that the fire truck
was to be housed in a garage.
Mr. Martford sent the following
setter to Mayor Hampton:
' LINCOLN,, Neb., July 23, 1921.
City Council, Alliance, Neb., Attention
Mayor: Gentlemen:
It has come to our attention that
'it is the intention of the City Manager
at Alliance to dispense with the serv
ices of the two remaining paid mem
bers of the fire department who have
Neen in constant attendance either in
or at the city hall in which is housed
the fire fighting apparatus of the city,
and to remove the truck to a public
irarage to be left in charge of the at
lendant of that garage who will be
responsible for the operation of the
?ruck and who will answer all calls
relying on volunteer members whom
lie picks up en route to supplement his
t-fforts in fighting hres.
We regret very much if this is true
that the citv of Alliance is contemplat
ing an act of this kind. Alliance has
always ranked among the foremost
fire departments in this state, and it is
regrettable that the city should step
"backwards instead of forwards in effi
ciency in fire fighting lines. A step of
shia kind tends to materially increase
the fire losses of the city of Alliance as
it tends to decrease the efficiency.
I sincerely hope that this report is
rfnly a false rumor and that if such
.- Rten is beinsr contemplated", that you
-will reconsider and decide in favor of
the old way. Very truly yours,
C. E. HAKTFORD.
State Fire Marshall
Backs City Manager.
In his reply, Mayor Hampton made
it nlam that the city council and him
elf had complete confidence in the city
manager and that they did not believe
shat in his campaign to reduce ex
yienses, he would do anything which
-would materially impair the efficiency
of the fire department. The mayor's
letter follows:
ALLIANCE, Neb., July 25, 1921.
Mr. C. E. Hartford, State Fire Mar
thai. Lincoln. Neb.. Dear Sir:
We are in receipt of your favor of
the 23rd inst. addressed to the city
council of our city relative to reported
rhftnees In our fire department.
Our fire department had gone along
through a period of years and had
i -educated themselves to a pretty waste
ful administration of affairs. It be
came so flaerant that it was a real
turninsr issue in the campaign last
year. In other words, the people are
seeking an administration of economy
.And efficiency. We have a city man
-ager who is fully capable and alive to
such issues and is following out such a
course as will show in the end a saving
o the citv. not only of his manage
ment of the fire department, but of
many other departments. As we
-understand, the city manager has not
-vet determined fully what his course
will be in the matter, but we assure
vnn that ha will do nothing tha. win
in any way lessen the efficiency of the
fire department, cnanges were nece
tarv. and of course there are those
who will holler when something new is
-done. Very truly yours, w,...

City Manager's Position.
A few weeks ago. City Manager
"Kemmish announced that he had gone
into the fire department situation and
that, in his opinion, it had cost the
ity too much money for maintenance.
The figures showed that the expense
f maintaining the department during
the past year had been over $5,000.
There are now two paid men on the
rity's fire fighting force, as well as
some seventy-five volunteer firemen.
Mr. Kemmish checked up attendance
at fires and according to his figures, it
appeared that the volunteer depart
ment had, in great measure, allowed
the paid firemen to do the fire fight-
'"s yet, Mr. Kemmish has not
definitely decided on all of the changes
he will make, but his present plans are
to retain at least one pam nreman,
who shall be on duty at all times when
other city employes will not be avail
able for immediate service.
Mr. Kemmish holds that the city
should keep an efficient fire tigthmg
force, but that there should be a limit
10 the expense and investment 'n a
4-ity of this class. According to his
The Presbyterians are still holding
the place of honor in the lead of the
other teams in the Sunday school baser
ball league. They trimmed the Chris-
tion team, by a close margin, 14 to
13. in the Thursday game. An extra
inning was required to decide the
game. The Christians have the better-
balanced team, the experts say, but
the Presbyterians manage to win the
games. At any rate, they're at the
top of the percentage column, and the
Christians are a close second. The
Baptists rank third and the Methodists
are at the foot of the list.
Two games are scheduled for next
week. The Methodists and Baptists
will tangle Monday; the Baptists and
Presbvterians will meet Thursday.
The Baptists haven't had a team out
for some time, and the other teams are
beginning to fear that they may drop
out of the running.
Dr. C. E. Slagle Tells
Alliance Rotarians of
His Trip to Scotland
Dr. Charles E. Slagle entertained
his fellow Rotarians at the regular
weekly dinner of the club at the Alli
ance Hotel Fern Garden Wednesday;
evening, with an account of the inter
national Rotary convention, to which
he was a delegate. Dr. and Mrs. Slagle
returned Wednesday from a trip to
Edinburgh, Scotland where the con
vention was held, Mr. and Mrs. Slagle
spent some tune following the conven
tion in a tour which took them to
England, Fiance and Germany.
Dr. Slagie confined his , remarks
Wednesday evening to the internation
al convention. .The delegates and their
wives, to the number of twelve hund
red, made the overseas journey in two
boats chartered for the purpose, and
regulation Rotary rules were enforced
during the trip. The delegates were
expected to get acquainted, and there
was a rule that no person on board
should eat twice in succession at the
same table or with the same crowd.
The penalty for violation was a fine
of two pounds, something like $8, and
Dr. Slagle assured the Rotarians that
the violations on his part were few
and far between. The passage wa3
especially pleasant, there being no
rough sea and not a single case of sea
sickness came under his observation.
The speaker was exceedingly compli
mentary in his reference to the way
the Rotary club of Edinburgh, as well
as every citizen of the Scottish capital
treated the viistors. They were met
at the train by a big delegation of Ro
tarians and others, and each one was
immediately assigned to a room, m
some hotel or residence in the city.
Each one was escorted immediately to
his room by a Scotchman. Americans
were apparently a curiousity in the
city, for at every session of the con
vention crowds of thousands lined the
sidewalks in respectful silence, wait
ing for the Americans to appear.
The speaker said that taxi fare in the
Scottish city was comparatively low,
and that as a result, most of the dele
gates rode in them, thus bearing out
the illusion that America is a country
of wealth. '
All during their stay in Scotland,
the Rotarians and their wives were
royally entertained. Invitations of all
kinds poured in upon them, and there
was sulTicient to do to keep them busy
during every minute of their stay. As
a result, a number of the delegates
missed sessions of the convention from
time to time. Harry Lauder, the fam
ous Scotch comedian and song-bird,
chartered a boat for a special excur
sion and over eight hundred Rotarians
accepieu nis nospiiaiiiy.
The convention was held in Usher
hall, donated to the city of Edinburgh
by a brewer of great wealth. It is a
mammoth auditorium, with a huge
pipe organ in the center of it. The
convention opened with a great pag
eant, in which all the twenty-six na
tions represented at the convention
were depicted, three girls and a man
being dressed in such a way as to
show the national characteristics,
while the pipe organ played the var
ious national anthems. The lord mayor
of Edinburgh, in purple and ermine
robes, gave the address of welcome.
The Scottish Rotarians do not fol
low the American example of singing
during the meetings, according to Dr.
Slagle. There were a few songs, now
and then, by the American contingent,
but no prolonged vocal efforts.
Billy Coppock. retiring governor of
the district in which Alliance is locat
ed, was made second vice president in
the election of officers! Mr. Coppock
has been in Alliance two or three
times, and the Alliance men can read
ily understand why he would make a
hit at an international convention,
despite the handicap of not being well
i known.

THE
Nineteen Hundred Acres Ready for
Homestead Entry in Wyoming
on September 9.
On September 9, 222 farms will be
opened to homestead entry by soldiers
of the world war, on the North Platte
irrigation project, Wyoming, and ne
week lat;r, September 16. fifty-seven
farms will be thrown open under the
Shoshone project in the same state.
About 19,000 acres of land are included
in the two openings. For sixty days
no one but ax-soldiers will be permit
ted to make filings on these farms.
A decade ago the lands now included
in the North Platte valley project
were a vast range occupied by nomadic
herds of cattle, but national reclama
tion has wrought a marvelous change
in that section. The landscape is now
dotted with hundreds of prosperous
farm homes, and a hundred thousand
acres are producing valuable crops of
alfalfa, sugar beets, corn and potatoes.
Numerous towns have been established
and railroads have extended their
branches to connect the valley with the
country's great markets. Dairying lias
becomj a profitable industry.
More than $4,500,000 worth of crops
were produced on the project in 1920.
The Shoshone, in the northwestern
part of the state, lies in a region of
great scenic beauty and has a de
lightful and healthful climate and
fertile soil. Detailed information con
cerning the farms and the method of
obtaining them may be secured .y

Petition for Allowance of Mother'

Mrs. Selden W. Ives will, in all
probability, be given the opportunity
to keep her family of nine children

delegation of citizens who were pre
sent in county court Wednesday after
noon, if the court allows a her a

Mrs. Ives was widowed a few weeks
ago, and found herself faced with he
problem of feeding and clothing nine
children, ranging in age from sixteen
vfar to tpn months. She took the
mutter uo with the county commission
ers, at their session last week, but got
little encouragement. Tuesday, County
Attorney Lee Basye filed a complaint
in juvenile court, charging that the
nine children were in dependent and
neglected, and asking that the court
take some action, presumably send
them to the state home for dependent
children at Lincoln.
The mother of the children was
frightened and heart-broken at the
prospect of having her children taken
away from her. She took the matter
up with members of her church imd
other friends, all of whom assured her
tht thev did not think it would be
necessary. Thsse friends began call-

City Manager's Corner
(By N. A. KEMMISH)
Totals
Alliance
Slattery, ss
We are now grading Platte avenue
and hope to get the other streets in
that territory in shape while the
gTound is still in good working condition.
We expect the pump here Saturday
so that by the first of the week we can
begin work on the new Kelly well
again and give it a good pumping out.
Will advise you of the results of this
The commissioners are reported to pumping later.
