Grand Island and
Beatrice Arc On
: '22 Grid Schedule
Coach Prince has arranged football
frames next year with Grand Island
anil Beatrice for next football season,
and is at present angling for a game
with South Omaha. Mr. Prince said
that he chose the South, of the three
Omaha teams, because he believed that
this school would have the Ktrongest
team next year.
Effort to get a game with North
riatte or Lincoln were unavailing.
North Platte seems to be ararnging a
rather easy schedule next year, and
had no particular desire to tangle with
the local machine. Lincoln had a full
schedule and as the trip to play the
frame would be rather long there was
no reason why they should accept.
Beatrice will play here on October
13 or tho second game of the season,
and Grand Island on the 20th. If
South Omaha is unwilling to play, an
other team of as much strength will
be found.
ScottsbluflT, Gering, Bayard and
Sidney will be on the schedule, of
course, but it Is doubtful if any more
western teams will lie included. Coach
Irincc avers that he is going to go
after the state championship and with
the material at hand he should at least
le able to put in a strong bid for it.
With six backfield men, including all
of this year's backfield. anrt a wealth
of line material he should nut out a
team that will stand up with any in
the state. The entire football schedule
will be announced soon in The Herald.
Sutton Wins First
Round of Tourney
At Chicago Uni
Sutton won its way into the second
round of the national inter-scholastic
championship tournev Wednesday bv
defeating Canton, Ohio, in what was
evidently a closo and bitterly contested
pa me. With Canton leading 10-10 at
the end of the half, the Husker ouin-
tet came back and with some brilliant
work by Swartz and G. Wieland. cen
ter and guard respectively, won the
frame. Sutton seems to be showing
up well in comparison with the other
teams, which are from all over the
United States. Mount Vernon, another

THE ALLIANCE HERALD.
KINK All) GIVES STATt'S
OF LAM) OFFICE SCRAP
(Continued from page 1) j
the iconic of your vicinity in genenJ,
that the complications existing over
the matter of tho discontinuance of I'.
S. di.-trict land offices have arisen by.
reason of the difference in the con
struction of the clause in question,
when the bill was up for consideration,
nnd pas.-! in the house, and the con
struction theiealter given it when it
reached the Senate. As the House
committee and the membership of the
House generally construed the clau.-c,
it did not effect n discontinuance of
your Alliance and the Broken Bow
offices, neither on such construction
did it effect the discontinuance of the
Seattle and Vancouver, state of Wash
ington, offices for the reason that the
offices of register and receiver in the. e
four offices had lccn heretofore con
solidation into one office by Congress
sional r.cts, and it was intended by the
House committee that such offices
should continue in operation. For in
stance, the offices of register and re
ceiver were consolidated into one office
for the Vancouver. Seattle and Alli
ance offices, respectively by the act
approved March 4, 1922.
But the senate constued the clause
in question to the contrary, viz: that
the bill as it passed the House did ef
fect the discontinuance even of offices
where the registership and receiver
ship had been consolidated into one
office, unless such offices were speci
fically excepted from the operation of
the bill. Therefore, the state of Wash
ington delegation secured an amend
ment in the Senate, specifically ex
cepting the Vancouver and Seattle
offices from the operation of the
clause. I have endeavored to secure an
amendment of the amendment which
saves the Vancouver and Seattle
offices, but I am ruled out on a point
of order, that is, the committee of both
the House and Senate are against me
in the parliamentary question, and are
sustained by the best parliamentarians
of the House as well as on another
point, I regret to ray, with not very
good prospects of success, I may in
troduce a resolution, providing for the
continuance of the Alliance office, but
this will depend upon the acreage of
unpatented entries reported to me by
Receiver Hewitt (for which I have tele
graphed him) both under the North
Platte irrigation project ana an dry
land entries, to show the amount of
final proofs yet to be made.
Cost of Office High.
It Is pertinent to mention that the
: statute requiring the discontinuance of
i offices, has heretofore been construed
to have reference to remaining unen
tereel lands, of which there are a little
less than 15,000 acres in your Alliance
land office district, while the law re
quires the consolidation or discontinu
ance of an office where the quantity of
FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1022.
public land remaining unentered in any I
district is less than 100,000 acres. (See
section 224s, Revised Stat, page 3!)4).
You see there is not mucM more than '
a half of a township of unentered land
remaining in the district. (See also
Section 22.0 of Revised Statutes on
the same page, which together with
the clause in the new appropriation
bi'l require the discontinumce of an
office when the cost of its operation
shall exceed 3.5 1-3 icr cent of the in
come of the office for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 11)22. Ihe operation
of your Alliance office last year cost
something over CO per cent of its in
come.
Thus you are advised of the main
difficulties to be contended with, but
there are others of less importance.
If I shall introduce a resolution for
the continuance of your Alliance office,
it will le predicted upon the proixsi-
tion that there are more than 100,000
acres of unpatented lands in the dis
trict on which final proof mu.-t yet le
made, this coupled with the great "dis
tance between Alliance and Lincoln,
Nebraska, where the final proofs would
have to be sent if your Alliance office
be consolidated on the Lincoln office.
Such an effort may be made to pre
serve the Belle Fourche, S. 1)., office,
as it is claimed that over 400,000
acres of entered land in this district
remains unpatented. The Belle Fourche
proposition is already assumed by
members to be a much stronger prop
osition than- that at Alliance on ac
count of the certainty that a much
larger number of entries remain un
patented.
It is owing to the difference in con
struction given by .the members of the
House and members of the Senate that
very unexpectedly, land offices are to
be discontinued in several or the public
land states. Of course, one land office
will remain at the capital of each
state.
I need hardly assure you, I shall use
all honorable means to preserve your
Alliance land office district.
But regretting I am not warranted
in promising a successful outcome, I
remain, very cordially yours,
M. P. KINKAID.

Last Sunday being a pretty day :.ll
ball players and fans were out for
several hours. Some most promising
material is in view for thi3 season s
ball team and after the Tuesday after
noon meeting which will be held here
for the purpose of organizing and
financing the team we will soon be
havincr frames. It is planned to open
the season either the 24th or 30th. of
this month with a good fast home
game against a strong team, possibly
Whitman. Next Sunday it i3 planned
to get all players and fans out cn
the home grounds for a practice game
and pick out the best material for the
team. Although not definitely decided,
it is thought that season tickets will
be printed and placed on sale at five
dollars each, admitting one to nil
home sanies for this season. In thij
way, it is thought that enough capital
can be raised to successfully finance
