This monster has caused, wsiderable speculation the past two! r three months. It has been positive-: Jy identified as a jrray whale, such ns re found in certain parts of the Paci fic, by the lleminirforil editor, but ttfhcrs think it might be a mermaid.! Tllie last eye-witness has a theory that it u a mud puppy that forgot to die en iti natural span of life run out had has continued on through four orj five existences until it him reached its Jwent abnormal dimensions. The Jews says: "Charles Hoefcr and wife and others Tcfwrt having recently seen the mon Mer in the lake.

If it isn't a whale its a whaler of an -animal, any way. "Rut Charlie has advanced another idea. He says that he thinks it is n tnml pup. Charlie never saw a mud pup, he says, of the magnitude of this oe, although ho has seen some that were at least ten inches broad and a yard long weighing about twenty-five pounds. He also says that about five years is the natural life time of a mud pp but he sees no rea.-on why a mud pup could not take a second or even a third growth and develop into a I rt:il south f twa to Alliance is in I splendid condition.

The harvest home festival was sug gested by the success of a similar oc casion held a short time ago at North Platte. First reports were that the Ford garage in that city had tfaged the celebration, which was known as "Fowl day," but according to letter re ceived the first of the week by Harry P. Courscy, who wrote for details, this was not the case. All the merchants of the city co-operated in the festival and all of them unite in saying that it was a great success.

"For the whole territory north of mere xo iane u even though it is ai town, out through the Gordon-Kriz neighlnjihood, there appears to have been nothing done. For the help of the people southeast of town one mile past the George Carrell farm has been graded in good shape. This ought to le continued for the benefit of the people out that way. Southwest of town nothing has been done. A road is very badly needed out into the Dan ish neighborhood six miles south and six miles west and of course bevon that to the county line. West of ir Lawn church work is needed and north west of town up in the Girard neigh borhood the roads are in vciy bud shape. Also, there is more or Ics. wed of the road being graded d'rertly .-south of the Lawn church connecting at approximately the Klmore Dam. Want Tenth Street Road will probably be better for us to co there to take it even though it is a few miles out of the way, than to try to cut across the sandy, mucky coun try along Snake creek.
