Townsend was fued 35, from’ this ditch and but little was done until 1880, Then a number of farmers made for tunes from the ditch in a single year, due to the large crops of potatoes they produced and sold upon high markets. Still, notwith- standing this success, there were but 9,000 acres irrigated from this ditch in 1894, whils this year there are in the neighborhood of 12,000 acres in crops. With people in Nebraska the irrigation idea was not popular prior to 1890. In the western part of the state it was believed the raln belt was moving west. It was thought that any suggestion that Nebraska required irrigation _would result In depression of values. _Others, however, looked the situa- tion in the face and in the latter part of the '80s Mr. Henry St. Raynor, a member ot the legislature from Cheyenne county, in- troduced a bill providing for the recognition of irrigation rights and Interests. In 189 this bill became a law. It provided for the appropriation of water from streams of more than fifty feet in width. It gave first ap- plicants ihe better right to the waters of the various streams. It included and providea for the posting of motices of claims at the points of diversion and the filing of the same with county clerks. The bill also declared irrigation and water power canals to be works of internal improvement, and gave canal companiss the same rights ot eminent domain emjoyed by railroad com. panles. Irrigation development was greatly stimulated by the enactment of this law. In fact so rapid was this that in 1890 and 1891 it was deemed necessary by the mors advanced irrigationists to ask for a mor comprehensive law, all of which was set forth in a bill introduced in the lower house of the legislature by Representative Parnell of Perkins county, This bill was defeated and largely through the efforts of the mem- bers from the western portion of the state. In 1893 another effort was made by Senator Dorner of Dawson county. This bill met with the same fate. In 1895 a bill was brought forward for whose success Senalor Akers of Scotts Bluff county s entitled to great credit CLASSIFICATION OF LANDS. Under the geological survey.of Major Powell the plain and mountain re- glons of the United States were divided into humid, sub-humid and arid areas. The humid regions comprised such portions of the country receiving sufficient rainfall each year to insure crops. The arid regions were ‘such portions as received precipitation ingufficient to mature crops. Between these board, is not proving generally satisfactory and it is claimed that the provisions of the law have been grossly Ignored for the sake of political advantage, One district stretches all the way across the northern boundary of the county, and others are grouped together without any apparent regard to community interests. 5.
