Alliance is a town of 1,000 inhabitants on the G. I. & W. C. R. R. branch
of the B. & M. R. R., in the southeastern part of Box Butte County. It is
expected that there will be located the county seat. It is a division
station, and a round house accommodating several engines has been
built. The spirit of public improvement is eloquently instanced in the

lumber yards, a fine school house costing $15,000, two good hotels,
water works are about to be put in costing $40,000. United Presbyterian

lifted their fronts to beautify the place. it has four banks, the First
National Bank, Capital $50,000, Bank of Alliance, capital $10,000, Box
Butte Banking Company, capital $25,000, and the firm of Porter Bros. &

marches to success, and this monetary strength is supplemented by a
Loan and Building Association. A U. S. Land Office is located here of
which J. H. Danskin is receiver, F. M. Dorrington register. Two
newspapers, the Weekly Grip and Times, are alive with the times, good
