Condra Tells Tech- nical Club of Many Possi- bilities in Nebraska. MILLIONS OF WATER POWER “There is a possibility of disgover- ing oil in Nebraska, but the most promising source of energy is found in the waters of the rivers. I am for conserving the wasted waters of this [state. When one thinks that our riv- |ers are capable of generating about 2,000,000 horsepower in energy and that this power is being wasted, it is no wouder that half a hundred hydro- electric projects have been promoted.” Prof. G. E. Condra, president of the National Conservation congress, and head of the geography and con- servation department at the Univer- sity of Nebraska, was addressing the members of the Technical club last evening at the Paxton on “The De- velopment of Water Power Resources in Nebraska,” when he summed up the state’s potent possibilities in the fore- going language. State Commerce Raw. “Nebraska is commerce raw,” he added. “Although we raise corn, wheat, alfalfa and some cattle, we do not manufacture the raw material into finished products.” With 3,000 feet of film he carried the audience around the state, show- ing its rivers and power projects, here and there. The three rivers with greatest re- sources are the Blue, Niobrara and the Loups, said Prof. Condra. As he navigated the Blue and passed by Mil- ford, Beatrice and Fairbury he showed that this stream had been developed more than the others. The respective towns are using the river for generat- ing electricity and running nulls. The cheapest electricity is being gener- ated at Juanita Falls. “The Niobrara is the best water power stream not n.-g:nfing its near- ness to population,” continued the speaker. “It has a constant flow and has a capacity of from 800 to 2,000 second feet. This river has not been utilized yet, but it could furnish power to operate interurbans and electrify its surrounding country. Owing to the fact that it flows through sparsely settled country it is doubtful whether mach money would be invested in its development at the present time. “The largest hydro-electric plant in the state has been constructed at Boe- Ins, where the water of the Middle Loup is conducted through a canal to the South Loup thereby developing 2,500 horsepower.” . “There is abundant work for the engineer,” the speaker told club mem- hers of his audience. % |West Leavenworth Club .

COLORADO TO APPEAL CASE Denver, Colo, Nov. 21.—(Special Telegram.)—A decision affecting | Colorado and Nebraska water rights, | far reaching in its effect, was handed | down today by the United States cir- cuit court of appeals. The decision held that state lines do not affect the question of priority of water rights and the contention of the state of Colorado that.junior appropriators in this state have ‘priprily over senior appropriators in | adjoining states fails. The court of appeals sustained Judge Lewis and upheld every con- | tention made by Edwin H. Park, at- torney for the: Pioneer Irrigation company, as to state rights in water controversies. The decision says that the filings first in time are first in right regardless of state lines. Pioneer Irrigation company serves its customers both in Colorado and Ne- Republican river, an interstate stream. Colorado insisted that the Ne- braska senior claimafts for water were not entitled to water until Colo- rado junior appropriators had been cared for. The decision will have a material effect on the suit now pend- ing between Colorado and Wyoming involving interstate water rights. The gioneer Irrigation company made the state engineer and the Water commission of Colorado the defendants. The state appeared through Attorney General Farrar, It 1s likely that the case will be carried to the supreme court of the United States by the state.
