O'NEILL, Neb, b, 22.--(fpecial to Bee)—The past weel has witnes activity in the promotion of the scheme of this section of the t The Niobrara River Irrigation and Power com pany filed articles of Incorporation on the | I5th fnst. with the following well known | business m of O'Nelll and Aikin ne in- corporators: A. U. Morris, R. R. Dickson, | J. P. Mann, T. V. Golden, Neil Brennan, G. C. Hazelet, 0. F, Biglin and J. A man of O'Neill, and Dr. J. L. McDonald and 3. A. Allen of Atkinson. uthorized capltal stock fs $2,500,000, divided into $100 | | phares, at least $10,000 of which must be p up before commencing business on April 1804, When the plans of this company are perfected It will not only change the climatic conditions of the whole north- western portion of Nebraska, but will bring about an entirely new system of agriculture This organization Is to some extent the out- growth of the various conventions held in this and other counties of the western portion of the state, but It can be mor directly traced to recent investigations in stituted by the above mentioned incorpors utors and other business men of O'Nelil About two months ago a meeting was called, money ralsed, and It was decided to send fome responsibio parties to investigate the water supply of 1 sbrara, Snake and other rivers, as well as that of a group of Jakes lying in the southeastern portion of Cherry county. The Investigation was to ex- tend also to finding a good route for a ditch, the taking of the elevations, distance and ali or information usually required on pre- nary work. Accordingly B. 8. Gillispie, @ practical surveyor of much experience, A.J. Meals, a man who has had a great d to do with water supply in this and o states, wero employed to do this work. These gentlemen, fully equipped, left O'Neill and foillowed the water shed through to town- #hip 30, range 43 wes Sheridan county, where they found the ra river easy o tap. They further found that 20,000 (o 25,000 fuches of water could be securcd by building W dam from 300 to 400 feet long and from twenty to thirty feet high. Coming east from this point to townsh'p 40, rang: 53 west, they found a place on the Snake river wh could bo used as a point of divergance w much less expense than the one on t Ni.obrara, The Snake, in c Gordon and Bardmon, will easily another 20,000 to 000 inches of wat: making a total of from 40,000 to 50,000 incl nt a conservative estimate, as their mea menta were taken when the flow of wa! was comparatively small. At a point about ten of the point spoken of on the Sna following group of lakes are locat Pelican, White Water, Deweys, Cle Willow, Trout, Marsh and Red Deer. was estimated by them that by buildi diles at different points, not to exceed in one mile, and by making a few ditches connect. the lakes they could be formed i st storage reservoir of at least fi for the catching of the flo pring time. This would a many thousand inches to the water supy miles south Again it was found that there would be but one cut of any magnitude on the ent route, and that it would not excecd 600 f in length and eighty feet in depth. It is estimated by persons familiar w this kind of work that the entire ditch ¢ be put through, including dams, bridg Yocks, ete., at a cost not to This ditch, properly constructed and suppl with storage reservoirs, would Irrigate 1,00 000 acres once a week, besides developl £0,000-horse power. To those unaccuston {th this section of the state the quest #ill arise, where can this vast tract of land be found to irrigate? For answer they simply invited to visit northern Holt, Ro Brown and Cherry counties. In all of these counties lies thousands of acres never yet touched by the plow, of as rich fertile soil as can be found in any country. All that s necessary to make this one of the richest and most prosperous sections of the great state of Nebraska is the proper amount of water during a portion of July August. This the people are going to have and no one acquainted with the energetic and wide awake farmers of these counties will doubt this assertion a minute. 18 in Holt county alone land enough to g 40,000 families forty acres each, and acco fng to the best of authority the greater p tion can be irrigated. The government geological surveys have shown the water supply of this portion of the state to be practically inexhaustible and the best ci engincers of Colorado and \Wyoming ass: that nowhere have they seen a country that could be irrigated with as little expense The company organized here proposes push matters with all the dispatch possil A stock subscription list has been opened and eral thousand dollars have been It is proposed to ralse enough the urvey already subscribed. money in the counties ditch will run to make the permanent and sccure the right of way, after eastern capital will be asked (o take of it. The work on the dams on the Niobr Snako rivers will be begun by April 1. corps of engineers will take the field as so as the weather will permit and it is hoy to have the survey made and the vight through which wh h ra a way secured by July 1. Farmers living along the line will be given an opportunity to take stock and pay for it in work.

He is a close reader of The Bee, and speaking of the dispatch in yesterday's edi- tion, under St. Louis date, in which Rev. Father Phelan stated that Arehbishop Satolli had sustained his course in the Corbett-Bon- acum matter, Father Corbett said he dispateh from St. Louls in The Bee is par- ticularly gratifying to me. If Mur. Satolli sustaing Father Phelan in his defense of me, my position must be secure. To uphold the one and not the other would be splitting a hair.

Some atforneys say it is not punishable, and that all that will be necessary for the prisoners to do will be to plead guilty and the judge 1l be compelled to discharge them. Others im the act is punishable by a fine of $300 or imprisonment in the county jail, or both, at the discretion of the court. At all events the prosecution will be vigorou Osceolu Wants Water Works. OSCEOLA, Neb., Feb. (Special to The Ben.)—Osceola’s people are thoroughly aroused in relation to water works. They had a meeting Tuesday at the office of Judge Saunders. A large number of the represent- ative citizens were present, and therc was not a dissenting voice. Petitions are to be circulated asking the village trustees to call an election for the purpose of voting bonds. Mr. Richardson of Lincoln was present at the meeting and gave some valuable in- formation in relation to towns in the state that had water works, and it is thought that bonds will carry two to one in favor of the plan. The people are beginning to think of the poor fire protection afforded at present.
