POWER FROM THE NIOBRARA Charles H. Cronell of Va! arpetual Plant. SERVICE FOR BOTH DAY AND NIGHT Equivalent of Eight Thousand Horse Power to Be Developed from Dam Near Mintchadusa Creek, tine Plans s 1 a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 20.—(Special.)—An ap- plication for permission to appropriate water from the Niobrara river for a power | plant near Valentine was presented to the secretary of the State Board of Irrigation | today. It Is proposed to construct a plant with a capacity of §,000 electric horse power for operation twenty-four hours each day The claimant {& Charles H. Cornell, a civil engineer of Valentine All prior claims for the appropriation of | water from the Niobrara river were with- drawn today before Mr. Cornell's applica- tion was filed. Secretary Dobson will make ap Investigation soon and If the specifica- tions of the plant meet the requirements of the irrigation law, Mr. Cornell's permit will be granted. When operated at its full capacity the plant would require approximately cupfe feet of water per second, which amount is about the total flow of the stream | at high water. The dam fs to cost $75,000, the machinery $50,000 and the buildings $10,000. The specifications cail for the con- struction of the dam at a point on the giver about three miles porthenst east of Valentine, and just below the head of Min- fchaduza creek. It 1s estimated that the plant could fur- nish more than enough power to supply all demands in Valentine for several years to come. Mr. Cornell has devoted consider- mble time to the preparation of the plans and he is confident the project will be suc- censtul. ew Incorporations.

They quote recommendations from men whose names they do not give, and con- clude that the rand hills of Nebraska are peculiarly adapted for a forest reserva- tion. Notwithstanding the recommendations of Prof. Bessey, the sand hills of Nebraska have stood here since the memory of man and no tree has been known to grow on them yet. The few trees that have grown | in the damp pockets of the canyons were scrubby and scarcely it for any purpose but firewood. For twenty-five years these sand hills have been planted to timber, under the timber culture law, and today, outside of bottom land planting, there is not 160 acres of live timber in the whole sand hill dis- trict recommended by the delegation. Prof. Dessey and those other gentlemen who were fortunate enough to not have their names mentioned pay themselves a fine compliment when they recommend as a natural forest reserve a tract of country upon which the combined efforts of God and man have not been able to produce a treo since the formation of the world. It you plant a forest reserve you have got to drive the cattle out of the country. You cannot *alse timber and cattle on the same land. If you want Nebraska to prosper, let her alone. Don't Interlope forelgn projects into her domestic industries, thereby de- stroying both. Those who won't work and must call on the president, let them call. Those who will work, let them work and give them the benefit of their labor. | Irrigation s a twin kid of forest reserve, both the oftspring of people who want to live off of their imagination, and are short |on capital. Had Nebraska remained under her original Irrigation laws her irrigated districts would now all be prosperous; as it s they are swamped by bonds and debts that will eventually absorb the land. If the government would assist irriga- tion it must furnish the water direct to the people who use it. The moral of all this {s: If government won't aselst its workers to develop the country, don't assist those who won't work, to rob those who do work; let the workers alone to work out thelr own salvation. LUCIEN STEBBINS. Engagement Stranwely Interrupted. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb.) Jan. 29.—(Spe- clal.)—The marriage of Hans Kessner to Mies Dora Hanson, living near here, Is to occur roon, after a strange interruption of the engagement. Miss Hanson lived with ber parents on a farm In Mlissourl two years ago and the date of her wedding with Kessner was fixed. A few hours before the tige appointed for the wedding Kessner became engaged in a quarrel with a man named Green, who sald te owed him money. Green became so Insistent that Kessner finally struck him with an axe handle. Be- lleving that he had killed him, Kessner burriedly left for New York and salled for Germany, where he has since been. After working in Hamburg for two years he learned through friends that his sweet- hgart was still true to him and he also learned that Green was merely stunned by the blow on his head and had recovered. Mies Hanson's parents removed to this county and the marriage has been arranged for the near future. Library Site, FREMONT, Neb., Jan. 29.—(Special.)—At a meeting of the city council last night it was decided to locate the Carnegle library on the lot owned by J. Towner Smith, on the corner of Military and F streets. The meeting was an Interesting one and the various rsites we thoroughly dlscussed. On the resolution approving of the F street site the vote of the councilmen stood four to four. Mayor Wilson broke the tle by voting for it and dec! 'd the resolution carried. The action meets with approval of & majority of the citizens, as the site is only one block from the business part of the city and €0 near the electric light plant that the bullding can be heated by the ex- haust steam. There were numbers of pushers for other sites and some who thought thas later a site might be donated to the city. Some preferred to have It located somewhere In the park, but the city attorney previously held that the park could not be used for that purpose. Woman Afire In a Bragy.

CASHIER GOULD ADMITS HIS GUILT Says His Bad Notes Aggrégate Fifty Thousand—Speculation Belleved to Be the C of His Downtall DAVID CITY, Neb., Jan. 20.—(8pectal)— The blowing up of the safe of the Platte Valley State bank of Bellwood, this county, somo time ago, was the occasion of the state bank examiner's going to Bellwood this week to examine the condition of the bank, which he found bad, and a large number of notes that looked suspiclous. Upon confronting A. H. Gould, cashler, with some of this suspicious looking paper, Mr. ment of this western less would be injurious. Knowing that The Boe has, whenever properly informed on any public questions, endeavored to side with those wherein justice and right were carefully considered and equitably take the side of the right, to The Bee these proposi- tions are presented.

COURT HONORS IRELAND Adopts Resolutions and Adjour: Account of Death of Mem- ber of Bar. country-—-anything NEBRASKA CITY, Neb, Jan. 20.—(Spe- clal.)—The January term of the district court of this county convened today with Judge W. W. Keysor of Omaha on the bench. After calling the equity docket the business of the court gave way to the read. ing of the resolutions respecting the death of Colonel Frank P. Ireland. The committee was composed of John C Watson, chalrman, and J. V. Morgan, C. W. Seymour, A. A. Bischof and E. F. Warren. The resolutions set forth the many good Gould confessed to having forged several notes. The bank was Immediately closed by the examiner and Mr. Gould was placed under arrect and brought to this city last night by Sherift Weet and lodged in jail. Mr. Gould has confessed to forging notes on several prominent farmers in the vicin- ity of Bellwood to the amount of about 50,000, and it is the general opinion that It will exceed this amount. Gould says the forging was all done by him and that he has no accomplice in the affair The deposits of the bank amount to about $40,000 and the general opinion In Bellwood is that this will be almost a total loss to | depositors. Upon inquiry at the county treasurer's office this morning a reporter for The Bee learned that there were no county funds on denosit in the bank. At the time the bank was robbed a great many of the citizens of Bellwood expressed opinions about the matter, but Mr. Gould insists that the burglary was actually com- mitted and that if it had not happened the bank would have pulled through. Speculat- | ing on the Board of Trade Is Supposed to be the cause of his downfall. The pre- liminary hearing will probably be held some time next week. LINCOLN, Jan. 2! (8pecial.)—8o far as known here, there are no new developments today in the case of A. H. Gould of the Platte Valley State bank, who Is under | arrest in Bellwood on the charge of forgery. Secretary Royse of the State Baoking Board and Bank Examiner Hartwell are still in Bellwood examining the accounts of the Institution. This morning Secretary Royse telephoned that he had found the business of the bank in a deplorable condition, but at that time he could give no estimate of the loss. It s belleved here that depositors may realize 35 per cent, but with an assess- ment on the stockholders the dividends, of course, would be greater. MORE LANDS FOR SETTLERS on to Give Homesteaders I Sections or Over Instead of Quarter, as Now. NORTH PLATTE, Neb, Jan. 28.—To the Editor of The Bee: I have been greatly interested in relation to your comments and criticlsms relating to the proposed law which has been presented, whereby the re- maining western public lands in the United States are to be leased to cattle syndicates or owners. The first question that arises Is: 1Is this law in the interests of the smaller cattle owners of this country, whose herds will range from 200 to 500 head? As this is now recognized to be the impe: tive tendency in the western cattle busi- ness, will the proposed law favor these small cattlemen and the industry by which they are endeavoring to maintaln a livell- haod? Any law which will not be directly in their interests will be detrimental to the general prosperity of this western portion of the United States. Again, is It not about time that justice was done to the western homesteader? The present homestead law as It now exists is materially the same as the one passed in 1863, which recognized all public lands as valuable and capable of well supporting a sottler on 160 acres. This amount of land looked large in area to senators or repre- sentatives who lived In the vicinity of the ten, fifteen and twenty-five-acre farms of New England. One condition must be taken Into account since the first enactment of the homestead law is that the area of land now required to support a family or indi- vidual is much greater than the amount required forty years ago. The grossest kind of Injustice is being done the settler who now enters the United States land office and is only allowed to enter a tract of 160 res as a homestead upon the remaining dry and sub-arid lands of the west. A full section of 640 acres should now be allowed as the minimum size of a homestead, for the reason that the earning capacity of 640 or even 1,280 acres of land and in some cases not less than 2,660 acres of land s required to equal the earning value of lands first filed on in the early days of the homestead law. Land natyrally diminishes in value and earning capacity in proportion to the lack of humidity of the section where it lles and the precipitation thercupon. A careful es- timate of the earning capacity of 160 acres in western lowa as against an area capable of earning the same amount upon the arid, or sub-arid, lands of the west, when ap- plied to a homestead law would give a set- tler where our United States government desires to be equitable and fair and honor- able and the desire to do justice, from one to four sections of our upland prairie, simply fitted for grazing in the western por- tion of our country., To enact a law le: ing the public domain for grazing purposes, without first increasing the area to be al- lowed to settlers and granting them equal chances with the cattlemen, would be an act of the worst form of neglectful in- justice. The number of acres in the west- ern portion of our country does mot couft in earning capacity with the lands of the humid portions of the eaet, where from thirty-six to forty-five inches of rain an- nually guarantee the tiller of the soll a sure return for time, labor and money in- vested as against the six to elghteen inches of rainfall precipitated annually upon the great plains and mountains of the west. While favoring the law of the character proposed related to the leasing of the pub- e lan the same cannot be too carefully guarded and drawn so ae to favor the small cattlemen. With the present homestead law only allowing 160 acres of land to each settler,sthe proposed leasing law when ap- plied would mean simply a freeze-out of the small cattlemen, whose herds range in num- ber from fifty to 500 head. One of the noticeable changes which have taken place in recent years Is that through the im- provements made and devised for lifting and storing water, small cattlemen are able to go back a long distance from streams and start ranches where small herds can be ranged. Will the proposed leasing law materially improve their condition? The government says be shall be given only 160 acre ‘What would be the value of that 160 acres? The lands along the Missoupl river taken as homesteads thirty-five or thirty: ht years ago are now worth from $40 to 360 an acre. WIIl the arid lands now given to settlers, unless irrigated, be worth that amount forty years hence? If not, why cannot justice be done? A n carefully prepared homestead law, where il climatic conditions should be carefully considered, working in connection with 4 just lease law, would assist tbé growth'and develop- qualities of Colonel Ireland and conclud “Resolved, That in the death of r lamented brother who accidentally lost his Iife on January 10, 1802, the court lost a brother whose memory Is entitled to our gratitude and admiration, “Resolved, That we deeply deplore the death of our deceased brother and mingle our grief with all who knew him and loved him, and tender to his bereaved family our deepest sympathy. “Resolved, That the judge and court of this court furnish a copy of these resolu- tions to the family of the deceased, and that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the court.

The farm of E. ‘A. Murphy, a mile from town, sold for $40 per acre a few days ago, and several other land sales have been made the past week, the land bringing about the eame price. About 8.000 eheep are belng fed near Wood River this season. and all the stock Is dolng well. Stockmen are amply supplied with feed and they will be enabled, by reason of the mild winter, to Increase their feed in the spring and put their stock on grass in excellent condition.

CASPER, Wyo., Jan. 20.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Acting Governor Chalterton today telegraphed here, asking it Charles Wood- ward would be given a trial in court or tried by Judge Lynch, and whether or not the local authorities would protect him. This has aroused the people of this town Into expressing thelr claim that many lynch- ings have occurred in his own county. The county and town authorities here say they are determined to sustaln the law without any help from the governor and his militia. Mayor Cantlin sald today: am mayor of thie town, and while I cannot say whether or not Woodward will be lynched, I am con- vinced there will be no disturbance take place in this town, and I don't need any outside assistance. I will do all I can to see that no disturbance takes place, and {t any mob takes the town it will do it by force and because it is the strongest party. 1 will swear in half the town as police be- fore 1 will sce ahy trouble.” Deputy Kyle says he has over 100 deputies to see that Woodward Is protected. The town is full of deputles, one of the most determined et of men that ever took the oath of office. Mob talk Is dying out, owing to the fact that Woodward, at the time of his arrest, had on Ricker's pistol and belt, and It is claimed he rode Deputy Johnson's horse from Woodward's ranch and had it in his possession at the various sheeo camps. Owing to their faith in the positive nature of this evidence against him, the people are willmg to see Woodward tried In the district court, which {s now in ses- slon. 4 80 many men have been sworn in as depu- tles that those favoring lynch law cannot find a leader, unless the people from the outside take a hand in the matter. On the outside, meaning the range, are many de- termined men, and if they break into the matter a hot time may be looked for be- tween the deputies and the rangers. Judge Bramel has just telegraphed Acting Governor Chatterton that he will do all he can to glve Woodward a speedy trial, and that he thinks the local authorities will protect Woodward. Officer Tubbs is expected to get back with Woodward in about four days. He is a thoroughbred, will resent any attempt to take Woodward and has done all in his power to see that he is protected. If the mob tries to take Woodward from Tubbs, it is belleved there will be trouble. Mayor Cantlin {s a man of reputation and if a mob congregates he Intends to disperse them, and if they don't disperse, no one can fore- tell the consequences. Woodward was captured thirteen miles east of Billings, Mont., and Sheriff Tubbs left for there yesterday morning and ex- pects to be back here February 7.
