. ¢ 73 10 PROMOTE IRRICATION Oonclugion of the Oonference of Those In- terested in the Sahject at Kearney. DELEGATES WHO HAD SOME EXPERIENCE Instances Where the Artificial Methods Mave Succeeded in This Direction Under Discouraging Clreumatances— Iesults of the Ann al Meeting. KEARNEY, Neb., Dec. 19.—(Special Tele- &ram.)—At the irrigation conference today Willlam Stafford of Julesburg gave his ex- perience with irrigation by means of wind- mills and reservoirs. A good reservoir can be built by banking up the sod, turning in the water and allowing stock to tramp down the wet ground. It will soon hold water as well as if cemented. He did not think water ould be pumped with profit if raised more than fifty feet and believed that pumping water was too expensive for practical farming of more than ten or twently acres. All kinds of sofl cannot be handled the same way, and each man must determine for himself how his land should be treated. In ralsing potatoes the water should be run by the side of and below the potato, rather than on top of them. Mr. Benson of McCook said he had had a great deal of oxperience with alfalfa, and had raised hundreds of acres with irrigation, but with only ten to thirty feet of water. He cautioned people not to sow more than an acre the first year as an experiment. W. R. Akers of Scotts Bluffs county sald alfalfa and stock were the most profitable things a farmer could ralse, and would not Eow over fifteen pounds per acre. IN THE AFTERNOON. The first speaker after dinner was Silas Clark of Cottonwood Springs, who spoke on *Construction of Canals by Farmers and armers' Companies.” He sald the farmers were digging a ditch in his neignborhood and Nad organized wth a capital of $100,000, Warmers had the privilege of subscribing fo. stock in amounts not to exceed $300, but must work that out before getting any more, That stock represents nothing but water, and all the work is paid for in stock. Ixcava- tion fs let at 10 cents per yard. The canal will frrigate 28,000 acres. The committee on resotutions submitted its report, urging that proper laws be passed this winter, und the same was adopted. The following officers were elected for the wsuing y President, 1. A. Fort, North Platte; secretary, A. G. Wolfenbarger, L'n- coln; treasurer, James Whitehead, Custe county, and M. Gering of Gering, C. B. Savage, Sargeant; Isaac Ledoyt, Hastings; R. B. Powell, Omaha, and E. L. King, Cul- bertson, executive committee. A vice prasi- dent was elected from each county rap- resented. The place for holding the convention next year brought out a spirited rivalry between Hastings and Sidney, but finally went to Sldney by a majority of three vote W. R. Akers, senator-elect from Seotts Bluft county, showed how the subject of irrigation had grown in favor in Nebraska, and emphasizeA the fact that there was an abundant water supply to irrigate the whole state, and it could be utilized much better than in' the states of Colorado or Wyoming. He also spoke strongly in favor of farmers bullding and owning their own ditches, in- stead of turning the work over to a_syndi- cate of capitalists. Akers has been drafting a bill which he proposes to introduce in the senate this winter, and outlined it to the convention. It has some features of the Wy- oming irrigation law and some of California. Ho said there were two kinds of irrigation necessary. One was known as flooding and the other as furrow. The first was for small grain and the last for potatoes and crops Planted in rows. No general rule could be applied to irrigation, as it depended on the &oil, slope of the land, and crops, but each man would have to experiment and deter- mine what was best for his own case, N. H. Miles of Sidney spoke on *Pump Irrigation,” and sald that it could be used o a great extent on small tracts. He knew one young man who made $1,200 this year off of flve acres with a pump having but a four-inch cylinder, Mr. Hursha of North Platte has tried Irri- gation for elght years, and this year ralsed fifty bushels of corn and 200 bushels of pota- toes per acre. He thinks potatoes dobest when planted on ground that has raised two or three crops of alfalfa and then plowed un- der, He had a large. tract of land, but is now cutting it up into forty-acre tracts and selling 1t offt. The land is being bought by several who have seen the effects of his irrigation for a few years. WHEN THE CONVENTION OPENED. The opera house was well filled Monday night with delegates from all parts of the state and each wore a badge made from cloth manufactured at the Kearney cotton mills Becember 16. Judge Emory, national lecturer, was the first speaker and said that this semi-arid reglon needed irrigation as much as the arid reglons farther west, a there was just rainfall enough here to bring farmers to this state, but not enough to make crops a sure thing, henco the suffering and failures which we are now experiencing. With irrigation and small tracts of say twenty to forty, acres, more people could be accommodated and better success would be the result. In fact, the tenor of those most familiar with. irrigation s to the effect that irrigation is more practical for small tracts than for large ones. E. R. Moses of Great Bend, Kan., related some of his experlences with irrigation and clted several instances where poor men had come out west and with irrigation and small tracts of land had accumulated a com- petency. Yesterday morning the temporary organiza- tion, with B. A. Jones as chaifman and W. L. Haod as secretary, was made permanent. Mr. Regse of Falls City gave his ex- perlence with irrigation in the southeastern part of the state, and sald he was satisfled there was plenty of water under the sur- face of Nebraska to Irrigate the whole state, and man has accomplished many greater dificulties than reclaiming this land. He also extended a cordlal invitation from the clty council of Falls City for the néxt meet- Ang of the state irrigation convention to meet With them. He hoped che next leglslature would appolnt a specia) committes to tnvesti- gato and draft suiteble laws. In his opinion prairie fires were & great damage to the soil, and advocated turning over the buffalo sod and damming up the drains, as this would all help to moisten the atmosphere and pro- duce rainfall. Windmills can be used suc- cussfully if allowed to run day and night, and he had known one man to irrigate twenty acres in this manner, but the best and most satisfactory manner Was by means of reser- yoirs or ditches. A good plan would be for certain days to be set aside by a om- munity for plowing days, or, as he called it, “damming days."” The convention closed this evenlng with an address by President Fort, remarks by D. W. Campbell of Denver, Representative John Brady, and an informal questioning of different speakers. President Fort spoke of the abundant and unfalling supply of water commonly called the unde:flow and said that it was sufficient to Irrigate at least three- fourths of the entire state; that all kinds of soll, except heavy clay, and all kinds of farm crops could bs irrigated with profit. The convention passed resolutions thanking Mr. Ford for the mauner in which he had propared and conducted the convention and 1o the citizens of Kearney for their hospitable entertainment, Lemise of & Fremont Lady.

SALT CREEK AGAIN AN ISSUE. This morning the sanitary commissioners stole a march on Mr. Joseph Burns and others of the Salt lake people interested in having that creek straghtened on lines peculiar to their own ideas. Before day- light this morning a gang of men and teams wore at work on First street just where the Salt Lake street railway intersects it at Q street, Something like ninety feet of the street rallway was torn up and the scrapers went to work.

A ditch thirty feet wide and sev- eral feet deep marked where the street car track had recently lain, Then Joseph Burns, John Steen and B. R, Cowdery secured an order from Judge Hall restraining the sani- tary trustees from digging their new ditch along the east side of their eighty acres just west of First street. They set up that if Salt creek is located there the effect will be to have a sewer running along in front of the'r land, which will overflow when the snow melts or rain falls, rendering it practically valueless, The hearing of the temporary Injunction case was set for Saturday. Work was completely stopped at 2:30 this after- noon. LINCOLN LOCALS. Jovernor Crounse today received the per- sonal check for $50 of A. L.

PLATTSMOUTH, Dec. 19.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Anselmo B. Smith of Denver, an official of the surveying department of the B. & M, is the defendant in an injunction sult commenced yesterday in district court by the Plattsmouth Water company. Smith is owner of a big tract cf land .located just north of the water company's pump house, the land being divided by a shoot from the Platte river. It {s from this small channel that the water company secures its water supply. Smith claimed that thé water com- pany encroached on his rights by taking steps every winter to widen the channel and thus permanently divide his land. Smith took. steps the other day to shut out the water from flowing down the channel by building a dam across the inlet from the Platte river. Work was actually commenced, but the water company secured the issuanca of an Injuncticn by Judge Chapman and the building of the dam has ceased. A hearing on the merits was fixed to occur on December 30. In the event of Smith's winning the water company will be forced to buy a water right from Smith or lay a long main over a half mile under the sand bar east to the Missourl river, an exceedingly expensive undertaking. —_——— THROUGH WITH ITS WORK. Charter Rovision Committeo Rouches an End to Its Suggestions. The charter revising committee finished its labors last evening, and the revised charter will at once be put In form by City At- torney Connell, Councilman Wheeler and other members of the committee, and be passed upon as a whole at a final meeting to be held In the city council chamber one week from tonight. At the final meeting all members of the Douglas county delegation to the coming session of the legislature are expected to be present, and the charter revision committee hopes that the delega- tion will go to Lincoln and work as a unit for the passage of the charter. Several very important changes In the present city charter were decided upon last evening. Among the most important was the one which takes away from the council the power to grant a franchise or con- tract covering a perlod of more than two years. Any new franchise granted to a mu- nicipal corporation, or any extension of an existing franchise, must In the future be granted by the voters of Omaha, under the same provisions which govern the Issue of bonds.” This change was suggested by At- torney Connell, and recelved the unanimous assent cf the revision committee, ‘The opponents of the present method of managing the fire and police systems made a last final effort to secure radical changes in the present law. Major Wheeler intro- duced the subject by stating it as his opin- jon that the “chief of police ought to be made a member of the Board of F and Police Commissioners. He thought the chief should be a sort of an ex-officlo secretary, but his view sententiously combatted by City Attorney Connell, Mr. Tukey and others,"and the matter was dropped. J. H: Millard of the Omaha Natlonal bank Interposed an objection to the provision of the present law which provides that the board shall be composed ‘of representatives of the three political parties. He thought this provision should be wiped out. After Mr. Connell had explained the value of the exlsting provision, Mr. Millard admitted that he had changed his mind. It remained for Mr. Winspear, chairman of the Hoard of Public Works, to make the expiring effort. He advocated an amend- ment which would take the appointing power out of the hands of the governor and give it (o a board to be composed of several state officers, He thought this amendment was absolutely necessary fto take the commission out of politics. He also wanted it fixed so0 that any citizen could prefer charces against indiyidual members of the board for misconduct. He recelved no encouragement for his view, and Mr. Connell, Mr. Tukey and City Engineer Rosewater brietly pointed out the defects in his proposed amendments, and his pro- posals were also dropped. This ended ' the discussion. Several further minor changes were made In the present charter. The salary of the proposed tax commissioner 1s not to exceed 4,000 per annum, The maximum levy of city taxes is to be 15 2-10 mills, there being an increase in the general fund levy of mill, in the water fund of 1-10 mill, in police fund levy of 1-10 mill, in the ¢ and sweeping fund of 1-10 mill, in the park fund of 1-10 mill, in the lighting fund of 1-10 mill. ———————— Booge Bounced from the Bourd.

KANSAS CITY, Dee. 19.—After three weeks consumed In its trial and one day in argument, the Jufy In twenty-one turned a verdict in the, famous Dr. Fraker Insurance case. It was in favor of the rela- tives of Fraker, Who ' sued five com- panies who held policies on the life when he! wab drowned at Excel- ings, Mo., July 10, 1883. The policles $11,655, and the plaintiffs have ed judgmént for the full amount.

NEW YORK, Deg. 19The revenue cut- ter Perry, which has heen doing duty in the waters between Cape May ,and Block Island since the Grant went to the Pacific coust, will be ordereditoday to Bering sea. The Perry's detail caused a good deal of comment in the customs house yesterday, because this port and the adjacent waters will be without any sea-going revenue ser- vice vessel. The small boats used in the harbor as revenue cutters dare not venture far out. There is plenty of work for a revenue cuter off this coast. It Is sald that the situation will be brought to the at- tention of the treasury officials at once. The secretary of the treasury is sald to have arranged already to ask congress for a special appropriation to build a revenue vessel larger than efther the Perry or Grant for duty at this port. e e President Buys a Team.
