Al Marker and
Tommy Eddy Will
h Rattle on June 16
Tommy Kihly of Omahu, and Al
" Marker "of Denver will battle on the
'third Iejrion boxing program. These
rntn are 13-pounler and are reputed
to be the real (roods. They each have
n string of victories over good men in
their respective territories, and there
i little doubt but that they will plea.-e
the crowd here. Hoth can hit, while
the Denver boy is particularly clever.
"Cowboy" Wyland will apear on
the program vvith "Kid" O'Connor,
while the Chadran Appollo, Yeager,
will mix with "Kid" Demith of Craw
ford. This is somewhat in the nature
of a grudge flght ,for each has rulefl
his rexxctive town in the pugilistic
line and is eager for the cjiance to
how what he can do. The local fans
know that Yenger is clever and has a
terrible wallop, but the Crawford boy
will be able to take all that i. coming
his way, and pay it back with interest.
This bout should be as Rood as the
main event.
Wyland, while not particularly suc
cessful w) far, has been over-matched,
and should he meet a man or Ms own
experience he will put up a Rood bat
tle. O'Connor has shown great pos
lbilit;cs, and with Wyland will meet
n slightly heavier man in his first real
battle. O'Connor, although but a
lightweight, shook Dotaon with a few
punches, and is fast enough to go with
nny of them. His greatest difficulty
has been his inability to conserve his
energy, but over a short route this will
riake little difference. The card as a
whole is the best yet put on and there
Is little doubt that it will draw the
largest crowd that has ever uttended a
boxing show in Alliance.
The date has been set at Friday,
June 16, and the preparatiftns are- al
ready under way.
. Local Mechanic
Completes Work on
Powerful Racer
Ed Slaughter, a local colored me
chanic, better known as "Spark Plug
Kddie. ha3 completed construction on
nn airplane motored racing car lor
Carl Belk, the car going on its first
trial trip today. The car, according to
itn designers, is a complete success,
coming up to expectations in every
wav. A few adjustments are yet to
be made, but when the.se are com
j.letcd the car will be in perfect run-
r.mir order.
The motor Is a Sturtevant airplane
ivne. with a four inch bore and fiv
inch stroke. It is of one hundred and
forty horse power, and the high
uressure oiling system usual witn rac
ing motors. The motor is too large to
be cranked by hand and a compressed
nir starter is necessary to get it into
action.
The car has been built at George
Hreckner's welding nhop, for without
his equipment its construction would
have been . impossible. About two
months were used in the car's con
Ptruction, but from the way in which
it performed this morning the build
ers feel amply repal dfor the trouble
At present it is planned to drive
the car in the Bridgeport race bunday
and barrinn some unforseea accident.
. this will be done. The designer, Spark
' I'lugr Eddie, will be at the wheel, while
the owner, Carl Belk, will act as mecn
anician. Due to its slight clearance,
onlv six Inches, it will be necessary to
transport th car on a truck to the
various places where it will be raced.
The designer says that it' should do
easily 100 miles an , hour, as cars
equipped with the same motor have
- - pne iar oejonu mis. "
Slaughter has worked in local gar
ages for some time, and gained I. is
experience with high powered motors
while a tester of plane motors for the
1'uckard company. He is a deep stu
dent of the mechanics of these, and
has a knowledge of them equalled by
few men in his line. He has already-
constructed several successful racers
but this he believes to be by far the
best he has ever made, lhe car will
le raced frequently during the sum
mer, and this will give a real test tf
what it can do. -
Unions Plan a
Strike Vote on
:J"- July Wage Cut
Strike vote on the $50,000,000 wage
cut of maintenance of way railroad
workers was planned Monday by B. M
Jewell, president of the railroad de
partment of the American Federation
of Labor.
"Jewell said the 13.2 per cent wage
slash of the 400,000 members of hi
union announced by the United State
railroad labor board to become effect
ive July 1, would bring the pay below
a living wage.
"Our rules provide that a vote mus
be taken before a reduction can be ac
cepted," said Jewell. "1 think the men
will reject the decision of the board
Jewell, it was understood, will call a
conference in Chicago soon with head
of other unions. It was reported in rail
road circles that pay of all workers,
with the exception of yard and train
service woi Kers, wouui oe cui .soon ap
proximately S 100,000,000.
Three members of the board dissent
ed in the decision. They were: A. O,
Wharton, Albert Phillips and W.
McMenimen.
In the dissenting opinion they said
"The rates of pay established under
this decision are not based upon the
human needs of the hundreds and
thousands of families involved. They
are insufficient to provide these fami
lies with absolute essentials.
"The decision will mean annual earn
ings far below any minimum stndard
of subsistence which lias been formu
lated, even below those of the mos
conservative employer group.
It was forecast in railroad circles
here today that the pay of other era
ployes, with the exception of train
hervice and yard employes, would be
plashed soon.

an astonishing variety of blisters.

THE ALLIANCE HERALD,
City Manager's Corner
(By N. A. KEMMISH)
A great many do not realize the
number of perplexing problems we are I
sanitary sewers. Just now we are cn-l
gaeed in owning uo a stoo sewer
which extends from the alley back of
Box Butte to Big Horn avenue and be
tween Third and Fourth streets. This
sewer only serves a small portion of
the city but later it is to be extended
and will have to take care of the sew
age from the western part of the city.
If we were so inclined no doubt on in
vestigation we could discover that the
construction was faulty ami place the
blame on someone for neglect. "' This
mav satisfy public curiosity but will
not fix up the sewer which is the thing
we are now most interested in. We
are installing a new manhole which
will better enable us to flush out this
stop sewer. This will not fix it per
manently, however, and we may be
obliged to spend somewhere in the
neighborhood of $5,000 installing a
new sewer in order to make it right.
When this sewer district was installed
a few years ago a change was made
in the assessments which left nearly
$4,000 with no provision of ever pay- j
ing it. This method of doing business j
is not so bad at- the time but it is
mighty costly in the end especially
when it looks us though we are going ,
to have to spend nearly $9,000 to
straighten out the kinks in this one i
district alone. Incidentally we have a
paving warrant amounting to nearly
$?,000 which was not taken up at the
time the paving bonds were sold. This
will make a total or about lz.uuu
which we should pay out of our gen
eral city fund or an amount equal to
more than the cost last year or operat
ing the city government so that any
money that we may have left in our
general fund for the next few years
will have a place for it.
Heretofore the high school and St.
Agnes academy have installed their
bui dinirs and sewer connections 'wun
no regard for future extensions for
sewer districts whicn may come into
the city and be located beyond their
buildings. We should not allow any
thing to restrict the growth of our
city in this manner. We should make
every provision to extend our sewer
districts to reach any part where the
city may later extend. In this con
nection last night we met with the
school board and after considerable
discussion arranged with them where
hv the school board extends the sewer
Hrross the new hieh school block to
Twelfth street. This makes a perman
ent job of it and whenever the dis
tricts bevond Twelfth street are ready
for sewer connections the sewer can
be easily extended. Arrangements
were also made for temporary sewer
conneciton at the Grand View school
on the east side. This being a public
institution where so many children will
be about it it was considered to the
best' interests of the public to allow
this temporary sewer connection in
stead of requiring the school board to
build a cesspool or septic tank on the
school grounds. Arrangements were
made whereby the four inch water
main would be extended along Grand
avenue to the corner of the school
block upon which the new Grand View
grade school is to be built.

girls who leap from strangers auto
