Monarch Hardware People Plan
New Store and Garage
Farther Up the Street

A bran new business block will
come to town early this spring when
the Monarch Hardware company will
build a new store and garage on the
corner where the Star theatre now
stands. AS soon as the building is
completed the stocks will be moved
to the new location. The present
quarters were found inadequate to &C
commodate the growing business and
something had to be done.
According to present plans the old
garage and opera house will be re-
modelled and moved to the corner lot.
The entire ground floor will be de-
voted to the harwdare interests and
the show house will be given addition
al space on the second floor. The en-
trance TO the opera house will be in
closed stairs leading from the street.
On the site of the present garage a
new garage will he built of solid con-
crete, fre-proof and modern in every
respect. The building will be 5Ox7O.

Valley will be scheduled to leave Nor
ris about five o'clock in the afternoon.
This service will enable people in the
branch towns to come to Morris in the
morning, do their shopping or attend
to other business, and go home the
same day.
Whether or not these changes will
bring night operators at the stations
between Morris and Browns Valley
will be determined later. Train crews
who have had regular runs between
Morris and Browns Valley are expect
ed to stay on the job,
The change in the railroad service
is the result of an agitation at Browns
Valley and other points along the line
started early in the winter. Consider
able dissatisfaction existed because of
the length of time required in going
to and from the twin cities, the late
ness of trains, and the general I'M
sanitary condition Of the Coaches. All
appeals to the railroad company for
better service failed in results and a
committee of Browns Valley business
men, headed by Hon. Sam Gordon,
appealed to he railroad and warehouse
commission. A hearing was held at
Browns Valley at which both sides of
the question were heard.
The proposed change in the service
gives general satisfaction in all the
towns along the line and it is hoped it
will work out to the advantage of
the company, shippers and travellers
alike.

Election was Quiet

Election day failed to bring out all
the voters this year. There was nc
issue and the caucus ticket seemed
to please everybody. Alberta usually
casts 46 to SO votes but this year on
ly "a citizens used their citizenship
rights.
J. A. Schultz wcs reelected presi-
dent of the council. Chris Eystad,
F. L. SpauIding and L. j. Schlatt-
man who served on the council last
year with eminent satisfaction to all,
were also reelected. W. T. Peder-
son, who was made clerk last year by
reason of the resignation of his pre-
decessor, will serve in his own
rights this year. George johnson
and Adolph Andert will continue as
justice and constable, respectively.
Altogether the destinies of the village
are in pretty good hands for the COM
ing year.

Band Plans Home Talent

Members of the Alberta band will
present a home talent play to be given
about Easter time. Members for
the cast are being recruited to day
and rehearsals will be in progress as
soon as the play is decided upon. Sew
eral plays are under consideration with
decided sentiment in favor of some
light comedy.
The band gave play last year that
was a winner. Alberta has some
very good theatrical talent and there
are several persons abundantly cap
able of instructing the bunch. 1t is
hoped a cast can be secured among
the older persons and that there will
be no cause for friction once the re-
hearsals are under way.
