the
The Northwestern Bell Telephone
company, which operates an exchange
at Alliance, as well as- a good many
other places in the state, will not have
as easy sledding in its request for per
mission to increase rates as has been
the case on other occasions. An ap
plication was recently filed which, if
granted, will allow the company to
charge $4 per month for business
phones in this city and $2 per month
for residence phones, instead of $3.85
and $1.92, the present rates. The in
crease over present rates would
amount to but 16 cents for business
phones and 7 cents for residence in
stallations, but that isn't the rub.
The present rates of $3.85 and $1.92
include a 10 per cent surcharge. The
company was allowed to make this sur
charge by order of the railway com
mission a year ago, and the permission
covered a period of six month?. In
July of this year the company put up
another hard luck story and was given
the right to make the surcharge for
another six months. The surcharge
ends the first of January unless the
commission issues a new order, unci
the company has apparently decided to
ask for a little more, inasmuch as the
last application was granted so easily.
The Alliance chamber of commerce,
at its meeting Monday of this week,
after a discussion which showed that
practically every member present was
cppo3ed to an increase in rates, how
ever slight, adopted a resolution of
protest, which has been forwardedto
the state railway commission. The
resolution speaks out quite plainly and
says that the chamber of commerce
not only thinks the present rates are
exorbitantly high, but that the com
pany should be able to serve the com
munity efficiently with less expense.
The resolution follows:
"Resolved, By the members of the
Alliance Chamber of Commerce, in
regular session assembled this ivin
day of December, 1921, at Alliance,
Nebraska, that
"Whereas, We are advised by the
secretary of the Nebraska state rail
way commission that the Northwest
ern Bell Telephone company, serving
this community with telephone serv
ice, has filed an application to pubh h
and collect a new schedule of rates and
charges in lieu of the now authorued
existing rates, and
"Whereas, It is a well known fact
that the charges now levied and made
in this community and other communi
ties in the great state of "Nebraska aie
the highest ever charged for this serv
ice, in spite of the fact that prices of
commodities and labor are constantly
going downward, and i
"Whereas, The proposed new sched
ule will put in effect a substantial in
crease on the present charges, which
to m seem exorditantly high, and
"Whereas We believe it more proper
that rates should be lowered instead of
raised, and that it would be possible
for the said Northwestern Bell Tele
phone company to serve this commun
ity and other communities throughout
this state just as efficiently with less
expense, therefore be it
"Resolved, That e hereby petition
and request the Nebraska State Rail
way commission, at the hearing to be
held at Lincoln on Wednesday, Decem
ber 28, to deny the request of said
Northwestern Bell Telephone company
for an increase in its rate3, and be it
further . iV
"Resolved, That we urge upon the
towns and communities throughout the
state the necessity for prompt and vig
orous action in this matter, in order
that this seeming telephone monopoly
be required to render its service in an
adequate manner at just and reason
able rates.

After coniderabv, ' ligation of
the character of Jk v Ms, the city
council granted a .rtional pool
room license to him for the balance of
the fiscal year to operate the Alliance
pool room at 117 Box 'Butte avenue.
The St. Agnes Academv filed an an.
plication with the city council asking
them to vacate and clese Twelfth
street or Washington avnue north of
blocks 1) and 8 also to vocate Big Horn
avenue between blocks D and 8. The
petition asks that the St. Agnes
Academy be allowed to extend its pro
posed school building into and upon
Washington avenue or Twelfth avenue
north of blocks D of Sheridan addi
tion to the city of Alliance. The fact
was brought out that the city water
mains are now located on Big Horn
avenue and Twenfth street north of
block D. Twelfth street is the main
erosstown connection. The matter was
discussed and laid over for further in
vestigation and discussion by those in
terested. The telephone company increase was
discussed and a representative of the
telephone company stated that this
proposed increase was taken up as a
statewide proposition and that in his
opinion should the State Railway com
mission see fit to grant the increase it
would not effect the rates of the Alli
ance exchange until the provisions , of
Article 6 of the franchise is complied
with.
A request was made in writing by
J. W. Miller that the city take over
the custody of the municipal pier at
Broncho lake. The matter was dis
cussed and laid over for further in
vestigation to ascertain whether or
not the city could take it over. In the
meantime the city manager was in
structed to do what was necessary to
protect the property against further
vandalism. . '
FIRE CHIEF ASKS
COOPERATION IN
AVOIDING FIRES
WARNS PUBLIC OF CHANCES FOR
. CHRISTMAS FIRES.
Suggests Precautions That Should Be
Taken to Lessen the Danger of
a Holiday Blaze.
The happy Yuletide is the best time
of the year, for the kids and grown
ups alike, but there are certain dan
gers attendant upon the Christmas
season, from the standpoint of danger
from fires, which Fire Chief Bud
Shafer has pointed out in a statement
to the public Every year the festive
occasion is spoiled for some families
because the Christmas tree catches on
fire. It may not be th tree, but the
whiskers of Santa Claus which catch
the blaze from the candles. It may
be the holly and mistletoe draped sug
gestively on the light fixtures. A few
sensible precautions, which will not de
tract from the glory of the Yuletide
a bit. but will make it safe and s vr.e
and fully as enjoyable, are pointed cut
by Mr. Schaier, wno urges ior fin
ance "a fireless Christmas":
To the PeoDle of Alliance: Pric?
ticallv all fires are caused by the care
lessness of someone, and Christmas
ime is particularly bad. 1 want to
ask the co-operation of the people of
our citv in making this Christmas 'a
Fireless Christmas.'
Lighted candles on trees, insel
and celluloid decorations, make a dan
gerous combination for the Christmas
tree. Also, dried holly or mistletoe
on light fixtures may be the cause of
holiday blaze, JJo not leave me
lighted tree alone for a moment. The
ordinary Christmas tree candle burns
ramdlv. sheds paranin down tne siues
and soon bends over, inis exposes
more wick and created a larger name
and soon the tree is on fire.
"Do not have the lights on the tree
so low that the dresses of the children
can come in contact with them. All
Christmas tree decorations should be
fireproof.
"Alliance has every cause to be
haDDV at this Christmas time. With
a huge municipal enrmmas tree; a
present for every child of school age;
with out poor well supplied with food
ryui cioimn&r. we biiuuiu nit uc iioi'wj.
Let us take great care this year and
use much precaution bo that no one
will be made sad tnrougn ;oss or in
jury from fire.
"Wishing vou all a Merry Christ
mas and a Happy New Year, I am,
Respectfully yours,
"BUD SCHAFER, Chief.

A COMMUNITY
POTATOCELLAR
APPOINT COMMITTEE TO INVES
TIGATE PROPOSITION.
Plan to Ask Co-operation of the Bar
llngton Railroad Handle Spuds
as Elevator Do Grain.
Cub' L. E. Bljss. at the Thursday
evening meeting of the Lions club,
aroused considerable enthusiasm
among Alliance members of the or
ganization bv his suinrestions for a
community potato cellar, to be erected
by Interested people in Alliance ana
Box Butte county, with the co-opera
tion of the Burlington railroad.- Sev
eral details of the plan remain io oe
worked out, but the club thought to
hiehlv of the plan that a committee,
consisting of Mr. Bliss, Charles Brit
tan, P. E. Romig and Frank Abegg.
was named to investigate he propo
sition and report back to the club.
Mr. Bliss explained that potatoes ere
not moving very rapidly at this time
of the vear. and how a community po
tato cellar could be of material assist
ance in the moving of the crop. The
speaker showed how the farmers haul
potatoes to the various trackside cel
lars owned by buyers, but these are
of insufficient capacity to handle but
a small part of the crop at one time.
The spud raiser retains the balance of
his crop in his own potato cellar.
When a streak of cold weatner comes
along, the trackside cellars are emp
tied, but the growers are unable then
to haul more spuds to the buyers.
Under the plan proposed by Mr.
Bliss, the community spud cellar will
be of sufficient capacity to handle the
spud crop, just a3 the grain elevators
in the eastern communities are suffi
ciently large to take care of most of
the grain crop.
The community cellar would be con
ducted on the same business plan as
grain elevators are now conducted. It
would be equipped with bins, porters,
etc., and the grading job would be
spared the farmers. Cold weather
will lose thousands of dollars to the
potato growers of Box Butte county,
Mr. Bliss declared, if the market fol
lows its usual course during the cold
snaps. ' :H
The Lions club adopted a resolution
. - i
apposing the increase in telephone
rates, and will present their protest
to the railway commission, which will
pass upon the application oi tne
Northwestern Bell Telephone company
on Wednesday of next week.
The cubs did not look with favor,
however, on a resolution that was
presented endorsing a tariff on sugar.
This resolution had been presented at
the request of the sugar beet growers
of the North Flatte valley.
Roy Gregg and Donald Spencer,
new members, were introduced to the
club, and responded gracefully.
The following resolution was passed
by the Lions club at their regular
meeting Thursday evening:
"Be it resolved, By the members
of the Lions club of Alliance, in regu
lar session assembled this 22d day oi
'w wr. 1921, at Alliance, Nebras

"Whereas. The charges now being
made in Alliance for telephone service
seem to us to be higher than, they

asking for a raise at this time.

YOUTHS PLEAD
GUILTY TO THE
THEFT CHARGE
DOLAN AND ENZOR ADMIT TAK
ING STUFF FROM WILSON'S
Declare They Are Not Guilty of Bur-
1 glary, However Anxious to Be
gin Serving Sentence.
The youths, who claimed when first
arrested to be the brothers Dolan, but
later admitted their names were Joe
Dolan and , Archie Entor, pleaded
guilty in county court Thursday after-
noon to the theft of a number of ar-
tides taken from the Wilson Brothers
Furniture store some time between
iasi oainraay anu monaay, ana were
held for trial in district court under
50O bonds each, which they were un-
able to furnish. The youths, who are
but f ighteen years of age, are ready
to begin their penitentiary sentence,
and Sheriff Miller and Coonty Attor
ney Basye plan to take them to Rush
ville, before Judge Westover, at the
earliest opportunity for sentence.
The boys decided, between the time
of their return from Bridgeport, where
they were picked up by the authori
ties after the word had been sent from
Alliance to surrounding towns, that
it was better to tell at least part of
the truth. When first examined by
County Attorney Basye, they said
they were brothers, and both eighteen
years of age, but when asked as to
their birthdays they ran up against
a snag, one giving his birthday in
June, and the other in September.
The youths were examined separately
and when told of their conflicting
stories, they admitted their names
were Joe Dolan and Archie Enzor.
The boys were perfectly willing to
plead guilty to a charge of grand
larceny, but not willing to admit thai
they had broken into the Wilson store,
the reason for this being, presumably,
that they knew that burglary was r
separate count and that they couiu
be given a stiffer sentence if they hac
broken into the building. They tolc
the story that they had found tr.e
stolen goods in two suitcases at thf
Burlington station, and that they had
helped themselves to the suitcases. -
Loot Was Recovered
They were were arrested at Bridge
port on a description furnished by one
of the Wilson brothers, who remem
bered having 3een them in the store
At Bridgeport they had attempted tc
peddle the stuff, but with poor suc
cess, only one sale, to a pool hall,
having been made. The balance o
the loot was found in their Toom at
a hotel.
Among the stuff taken from the
store were cartons of pocket knives,
lories, spoons, shaving bru.shes, scis
sors, an electric gnu and an electric
The total value of the stolen
iron
stuff was placed at $125.15. Identifi
cation of the loot was easy, as the car
tons were marked with Wilson Bros,
price mark and in their handwriting.
According to the stories last told by
the two youths, the two of them have
been bumming together for severa
months.. Dolan's mother is still liv
ing at Thermopolis. Wyo. Enzor de
clared that his parents had been dead
for vears and that he was reared by
his grandparents in Denver until the
death of his granumotner mree yean
ago, when his grandfather had entered
he Colorado' state soldiers' home. The
two have traveled from Denver to
Greybull, Wyo., and later to Alliance
The usual sentence ior grand lar-
cenv is from one to ten years in '.he
state penitentiary, and inasmucn as

charge.

Spud Benefit Play
Drew Big Crowd to
Imperial Thursday
"Nothing But the Truth." th nlv
presented by hi&h school s'udenu far
me nenent or the Fpud, thv-aigh school
paper, drew a good-sized 'crowd to the
imperial ihursday evening and was
one of the most successful amateur
performances ever presented in the
city. Mrs. Inice McCorkle Dunning
trained the youthful actors, who car
ried oir tneir parts in the production
most presentably. The leading parts
were taken by Rowland Threlkeld and
Lee Stromr. who did excellent work
as the young broker who wa ire red that
he would tell nothing but the truth for
twenty-four hours, and the head of the
firm, who bet it couldn't be done,
King Robbias, who took the part of a
sarcastic vounir broker, was the . on
most at his ease during his part of the
play. Edward Morrow as Bishop
uoran, maue an exceptionally good
presentation. Verna Dow and Mariel-
ten Beagle, as a bewildered wife and
the sweetheart of the leading man. did
some good work, and Josephine
Wright, who was a hit in one of last
year's performance, was up ' to the
high standard eet by herself. Thressa
Looney made a most winsome maid
and gave plenty of life to one of. the
minor parts. All of the students
showed evidences of careful training,
and the performance passed off with
out a single one of those awkward
breaks that Bometimes mar occasions
of this kind;
Perhaps the finest feature of the
venlmr was a specialty between the
first and second acts, when the high
school elocution class with little Miss
Betty Harper, sang "Peggy O'Neill."
Little Betty sang the verse and the
others assisted in the chorus. Follow
ing the song the class and the singer
jave a most attractive dance."
