THE O‘WAIIA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1900, LEGISLATURE, NUST MEND IT Btate Irrigation Law Needs Fixing and Without Any Delay. VAST INTERESTS ARE NOW CONCERNED Beeretary Channel of the State Irriga. tien Bo. Dis tion In Light of Court's Recent Deciston, LINCOLN, Nov. 29. —HRoplylng 10 & quesion probuble cffect of the the supreme court in the case of the Crawford Company against Hathaway et al on the irrigation interesis of the state, C. B, Channel, state engueer and secretary of th® Siuate Board of Irri- gation, mado the following statement here are oMy, two questions in this caso that are of gdueral interest, the con stitutionality of the Irrigation act ot 1805 and the common law rights of riparian owners "“The regarding the matter of the appellant in this case, the Craw- ford company, contended that that por tlon of the act which erects a Board of Irrigation, giving it exclusive judicial pow- ers, is in derogation of section ticle vl of the consiiution, In that the legisia- ture, by sald act, sought to erect a new Judlcial tribunal in place of one of the regularly constituted courts of the state. “The court did mot pass upon the con- stitution that portion of the act the court sald the Board of irrigation was ono of the in ducements for its passage and s 8o inter woven with the whole act as to make it tn.possible to declare this portion Invalid without effecting the destruction of the remainder of the act “The appellauts contended also that the act of 1877 (secticns 47, 48 and %3a, Complled Btatutes of 1597) modified the common law rule relating to ripartan rights and estab- lished cparato ownership of land and water 1o this state. The court holds that this act did not affect the rights of riparian owners and the common law rule which ob- tained then now exists. Doctrine of Common Law, “Under the common law doctrine, in its most general form, all property in water- courses {8 held sacred to the common use alike of all the riparian owners upon their borders, as an incident to the ownership of the soll; that the nature of thelr owner- ship of the water itself Is simply usufructu- ary and that each proprietor may reason- ably vse the water for any purpose as it passes through or by his land, but always provided that he must, after having used it, return it without substantial diminu- tion in quantity cr any materlal change In quality to its natural bed or channel be- fore it leaves his own land, so that it will reach his nelghbor in its tull, original and matural condition. It can be readily underatood that if this definition of a riparian right applies in this case the irrigation interests of the state will be very seriously affected by the wecision of the court. “The state leglslature at its approaching session should add an amendment to the irrigation law, clearly defining the rights of riparian owners and limiting their rights to so much of the natural flow of the stream as Is necessary for domestic uses, frcluding stock water, and recognizing the vested rights in power plants. “To give you an idea of the magni- tude of the interests involved I would stato in this connectlon that water has been appropriated for about 1,500,000 acres of Jand -and that the Irrigation works. con- structed to date represent an investment of probably more than $5,000,000. Add to this the increase in the value of irrigated lands, due to the construction of these works, which is not less than $15,000,000, and the Increase in the value of grazing lands contiguous to (irrigated districts, which cannot be closely estimated, but is certainly several millions, and you can torm some idea of the value of Nebraska's Irrigation Interests." 01d-Time ASHLAND, Neb, Nov. 20.—(Spectal)— Jacob T. Aughe of this city recelved a fam- ily heirloom last Saturday from his cousin, George W. Bercaw of Louisville, Ky., of which he feels proud.

BURWELL, Neb., Nov. 29.--(Speclal.)— Farmers and ranchmen in this vieinity are greatly wrought up over the fact that dozens of cattle are dylng from what is sald to be a polgon in the cornstalks and nearly all the farmers are compelled to yard and close feed their cattle. Hundreds of scres of cornstalks will have to be cut and burned, as that is the advice given by the veterans that have examined the matter.

ACCEPT TERMS OF HAMMOND Independence Mine Will Reduce Its Dividenes and Develop the rmneriy. DENVER, Nov 29 ~The Venture corrora tion of London has cabled Its acceptance of the terms of John Hays Hammond, under which he agrees to take charge of Strat- ton's Independence mine in Cripple Creek and already work Is under way in ac- cordance with his plans. The board of dircctors agrees to turn the mine over to Mr. Hammond, giving him authority to prosecute the needed development work and leave the matter of dividends from the mine to his discretion. He has agreed to pay in dividends for next year $488.000, or 10 per cent on the capital stock of the cor poration. This 18 just one-fourth of the amount that has been pald In dividends from the mine since the English corporation has owned It. The impression that has gained accept- ance in some qui that the mine Is ¢n- tirely worked out is denled by Mr. Ham- mond's report, which shows that the ore body is still capable of producing $1,000,000 profits. This, If mined during the year, would leave nesrly $500,000 for development work after the promised dividend had been patd. Of the reported negotiations for purchase of the Portland mine Mr. Hammond sald: “You may say positively that there .is no sale of the Portland mine contemplated by the present owners, nor is there any nego- tiations for a consolidation with the Port- land owners nor is there any negotlatlons for the connection of the Portland with Stratton's Independence.

CONDITION OF AGRICULTURE| Becretary Wilson's Report Iadicates Prev- alenoe of Improved Methoda AMERICAN FARMERS ARE PROGRESSING 014 Perplexiiies Are Deing Overcome, Old Menaces HRemoved a; New and Better Methods Adopted with Beneticial Results. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—The annual re- port of Secretary Wilson of the Agricul- tural department, made public today, be- gins with a complimentary reference to the work' of his predecessors, which has brought the department to its present state of efficiency. The secretary belleves appro- priations for the department should be re- garded as an Investment, for the reasom that they made direct returns therefor by adding to the wealth of the country. Important extensions of the weather bu- reau have been made during the year. Much stress is lald upon the continued inprovement of the forecast service and the value of its warnings. The secretary p ints vut that, notwithstanding the great number of craft plylug the Gulf of Mexico at the time of the Galveston storm, the warnings were so timely that there was no disaster upon the open waters. Suc- cessful experiments have been made with witcless telegraphy. During the quarantine season of 1809 over 1,000,000 cattle were moved under the supervision of the bureau from the district infected with the southern cattle tick. In Texas algne over 000 cattle were inspected for ‘shipment to other sec- tions. The sheep Industry has suffered greatly from sheep scab and much time and attention have been glven to securing its control and eradication. Results 6o far {are encouraging and the secretary believes that a few more years of earnest work will effectually eradicate the disease. Over 1,800,000 sheep were inspected and nearly 627,000 dipped under the supervisiom of the inspectors, Still Fighting Hog Cholera. The work of preparing serum for treat- ing hog cholera and swine piague and ex- periments In treatment therewith are con- tinved, with results which, while they do not justify definite conclusions as yet, are sufficlently encouraging to justity continued experiments, including some on entirely new lines. Over 1,000,000 doses of blackleg vaccine have been distributed during the year. Summarized reports of 2,000 cattle owners testify to its eficlency. Whereas | loss of 10 to 25 per cent of young stock Is reported In the district where blackleg prevalls, the loss where vaccination has been tried has been less than one-half of 1 per cent. Considerable space Is given to the consideration of tuberculosis, “the most prevalent and most destructive disease affecting mankind and the domesticated an- imals.” A great Increase in the discase is noted in the principal countries of Eu- rope, especially, unfgrunately, in ‘those whence American breeders desire to ob- tain animals for improving their stock. Experimental shipments of dalry products are still continued and shipments of butter have been extended to Cuba and Porto Rico. The secretary earnestly recommends an inspection of dalry products designed for export. Natlonal legislation on the subject of food adulterations is urged as essentlal to supplement the work done by the several states. Elaborate work in the investiga- tion of food adulteration has been con- tinued. Very little horse meat seems (o be sold fn the United States, whether under its own name or any other nage. Most satisfactory reports are recelved from California as the result of the entomological work in the introduction of the insect which fertilizes the Smyrna fig. In one locality more than six tons of Smyrna figs have been produced. THe re- sult will be to make America a grand com- petitor in the fig trade of the world's mar- ket. Secretary Wilson cites the Introduction of wheats from Russia, Hungary and Aus- tria, greatly exceeding in yleld our present varfeties and points out that if, as the re- sult of these introductions the wheat of the United States would be increased by but one bushel per acre, this would mean at the farm price for wheat in 1899, an ad- dition of $26,000,000 to the income of our farmers. As a result of experiments conducted in Texas under the supervision of the division of agrostology the grazing of pastures has been so much improved that, where three years ugo they were estimated as capable of supporting one steer to sixtecn acres, they will now maintain in good condition ose. steer to elght acres, a gain of 100 per | nelgun Hare is Dangerous. Warning is given of the possible danger of the introduction and dissemination of the Belglan hare and the destruction of prairie dogs has become a practical ques- tion of great interest to the farmers. The secretary notes a keener and wider public Interest in forestry. The total requests for working plans for forest preserves at the close of the year exceeded 50,000,000 acres, of which 2,500,000 was private land. There is much Inquiry regarding better roads and better methods of building them sand much werk has been done in the las* year fu bullding roads. Considerable space is given in the report to the work of the experiment stations. Progress is noted In Alaska. It is admitted that Alaska can never become an agricul- tural country, but the problem the depart- ment has undertaken to work out is to de- termine whether sufficient agriculture may be deve'oped In Alaska to form an important subsidiary industry to ald In the develop- ment of mining, fisheries and lumbering. The secretary believes experiment stations should be established in Hawail and Porto Rico. Much considcration is given in the report to the irrigation Investiga'lons, which cover especially two general lines of investigation, namely, the study of the laws and institutions relating to frrigation fn Q:fferent reglons, and secondly, the determi- nation of the actual use made of irriga fon wate Investigation of Irrigation Plana. Pight typical streams In different parts of California have been thoroughly studled with reference to the conditions under which the water for irrigation is owned, discributed and used. Similar investiga- ticus on a smaller scale have been made in Utah, Colorado and elsewhere. Interest in the use of Irrigation to supplement rainfall in the humid reglons is growing and valuable Investigations have been un- dertaken In Missour! and Wisconsin. The secretary calls attention to the fact that on the supply of water for irrigation and its equitable distribution depends the permanent expense of civilized life in one- third of the area of the unlon. Through this vast region questions relating to irri- gation are vital to the ultimate solution of its problems and must be found not only in state legirlation, but in the action of the national goverunment. Under the head of the section of foreign markets the report says that the study of markets abroad with special reference to extending the demands thereln for the agricultural producers of the United States has been prosecuted with zeal aund intelll- gence. The rapld growth of our export trade to the Orient in recent years is most striking. Five years ago our total ship- ments of domestic merchandise to Asla and Oceanica were valued at $43,000,000, of which only $9,700,000 were ugricultural. In 1900 our export trade with the Orfent emounted to $107,000,000, of which $30,000,000 worth was farm produce, During the last fiscal year Cuba, Porto Rico, the Hawailan islands and the Phil- ippines furnished a market for $45,000,000 worth of our products. Five years ago the sea fslands took but $13,000,000 worth. PRESIDENT'S THANKSGIVING Day Spent Very Quietly by the Chief Executive of the Nation, WASHINGTO! Nov, 20.—~Thanksgiving day was generally observed in Washington. All the executive departments of the gov- ernment were closed and deserted, save for a few officials who came to Attend to the mail.

For two or three years past there kave been no invited guests and the dinner this eveaing will be par- taken of by the president and Mrs. McKin- ley mlone, At all the churches in the city special services were held. TRIAL OF NEW TORPEDO BOAT [RIVAL FOR SMELTER TRUST New Com y Preparing te Erect DENVER, Nov. 20.—The News today says: The rival of the great American Smelter trust is in course of training for & ntic campalign. The movement has in progress quietly for several months and yesterday it developed that plans are so far advanced that locations for plants are being eelected and the last touches are being given to one of the most daring pro- Jects of the decade. Three large plants are to be erected simultaneously. One Is to be at Denver, a second at Salt Lake, and a third will be built at a favorable point in Mexico, yet to be named. Each of the plants s to have a capacity for handling automatically 1,000 tons of ore dally and all are to be built on practically the same plan. Ex- perts for the various departments have al ready been invited to conmect themselves with the company. Each of the new smelters will be pro- vided with refineries, where gold, copper or lead can be refined to a degree necessary for the world's use. Easf®rm Colorado capital has been sub- seribed It is asserted the plants will cost $1,000,000 each, much less than the amount publicly announced by the promot- ers.

Colonel Samford was able to €it up this morning and, surrounded only by the members of his family and physi- clans, he took the oath, Stockton Pro Trifle Slower Th Schedule, But Hehaves Well and May Bé Accepted, Nov. 29.—Commander Hemphill, head of the naval board whi conducted the trial of the torpedo boat Btockton yesterday, has telegraphed the Navy department from Annapolis the fol- lowing report of the results of the trial: ‘“The Stocktom made approximately 26% knots for two consecutive hours. Vessel's displacement at time of trial about 200 tons. Performance of machinery generally satis- factory. Starboard engine counterstroke down forty minutes after trial began. Speed was computed from the readings of the port counters as checked by the speed over the measured mile course. Stockton salled for Richmond. Contractor reserves all rights pending conference with the de- partment.” The Stockton under the terms of the con- tract was to show a minimum speed of 26 knots. In case of deficlency it may be re- Jected, or a deduction may be made by the government from the contract price. It is belleved that the board will recommend that the Navy department accept the boat on yesterday’s record, for it is {mprobable that the contractors will care to go to the ex- pense of making another trial. WHY THE LADS STAY ON LAND Member A WASHINGTO! Seamen's Unfon Discn nce of American Boys from Maritime Servi BOSTON, Nov. 20.—Th Interesting action in the Internation Seamen's union conven- tion today was the adoption of & report bearing upon the Inducemént, or rather the lack of the same, offeréd to American boys to go to sea. The repart Is in part: “No one disputes the fact that American boys do not seek the sea for a living, nor is it disputed that In the early history of th's country it was otherwise. “zome Iimprovements have been granted and for these the seamen are thankful, but they are not sufficient to cause the Ameri- can, with his ideas of individual Iiberty and comparatively high standard of living, to become & seaman. Nor will any one ac- quainted with the facts of the seamen's lifo blame him. “While the sailor, who simply refuses to fulfill a contract of labor, may, in a forelgn port, in the forelgn trade, be pur- sued, recaptured and put on board the vessel which he left, llke a runaway slave or an escaped criminal, the liberty-loving American boy will not choose the sel taring profession as & means of earning & living. “While part of the wages ‘signed for' must be pald to some ‘crimp' under the pame of ‘advance wages' In order to ob- tain employment, or for the same reason he must consent to slgn away his right to recelve some part of wages In ‘ports of call,’ no one has any right to expect that any large number of high-spirited lads will 80 to sea and remain there, “We note with joy that this view ls gaining strength in this as well as in Eu- ropean countries and feel sure that con- gress, when it shall find time to consider this important subject, will pass bill H. R | 9563 at an early date, ‘We not the purpose to abolish the naval militla—composed of landsmen—and the fle- sire to establish a naval reserve composed exclusively of seamen, and express the hope that it may find favor in congress, “Regarding the subsidy bill, we desire to say that in our opinlon this bill as now reported will fail in its purpose, if such purpose be to furnish seamen for govern- ment use when necessary. If this be a part of the object of this bill and such be the desire of congress, then such amendments must be added as will induce the American boy to go to sea and remaln thore ““We desire to say, as sallors, that there iy nothing in this bill as now reported by the majority of the congressional commit- tee which will have this tendency.'
