Kinkaid Willing to Help. It will be very fc-ratifyintf if I mny I able in any way to contribute to U accomplishment of the reclamation f the area in quest ion. Id a conference I have had with the reclamation oiriciaN Fince the receipt f your letter. I find that the bureau m no record of the proposal, but the "thoroujrh investigation you xtate was jmak by our Nebraska Mate enjrineer, juid his report thereon that it was a .feasible scheme, ought to be reliable. Of course, if the government may 1 4oner or later induced to give consid eration to the proposition, the first tp the Director of Reclamation isTvice would take would be to make a preliminary survey. Hut at the present .juncture, having in mind the fiscal -ronilition of the government, the ex haustion of the reclamation funds (tid u in developed and developing lrojectR), the time for initiating a new reclamation project is, I regret to say, "very unpropitious. I doubt not the membcru of your club are aware of the united and ac tive efforts now leing made by thir teen of the irrigation states, headed ly their governors, unded the name of the Western State Uiclamation As sociation, in behalf of an expansion of the reclamation law, including an ap propriation of $250,000,000, to be paid in installments to supplement the pres ent reclamation fund. Anyway the jwvernors of most of the irrigation states with other representatives of tie organization, have recently ap peared before the Senate and House committees on irrigation, in behalf of such legislation. Kill Up at Last ScKbion. However, it is likely attention will be given first to the Smith bill, H. U. 2913, as the demand of the went is so freneral for its enactment. But owing to the heavy indebtedness of our gov ernment, ami the limit of revenues that can be raised, as above indicated, the time is unfavorable for the enact memt of legislation providing for large expenditure of money. It is for this very reason that the president deliver--d his message to the senate in opposi tion to the enactment of the soldiers' four fold compensation bill at this time. Sometime ago I advised the repre sentatives of the Western States Re clamation Association, that, in mv judgment, the Smith Bill, H. R. 2913, could not possibly be passed at the present session without the president "wm --v v'jwv v at Miiti 1111 nxttr, himI that is my judgment now. Such being the case, I think it would he logical that H. 11. 372S, inasmuch as its provisions require the owners of the lands themselves to furnish and blare in the trpnsurv in uilvnnfn nf iho development, ull moneys required therefor that it be ntforded an opior tunity to be vottui upon and enacted into law. Little Hope Tnder Smith Bill. I nm euro vmi KnvA n1ttnK? nKinfvoil the distinguishing1 features between this bill, H. R. 3T2S, and the Smith Bill. H. R. 2913. are that while the latter requires the government to fur aish the money in the first instance to reimbursed by proceeds from the sale of bonds, and covers public !ands as well as privately owned lands, the former, H. R. 8728, asks for no monev from the government, and the govern ment is to be ut no expense whatever, and the main purjwse is to reclaim lands in private ownership. It covers also reclamation,, not only by irriira tii n, but by drainage of .-, Aur p cm U, imui ovemint of ciitovrr lnvl-s. :.ml otherwise. I I am sure you will oeivoive hv a I perusal of the same, ih.it ihn Smith b II, H. R. 2!)i;J, duly enacted nuo h w, would permit of the reclamation of your Box Butte county proposition, but as it was suggested to me ihis morn ing by the director of th Recl.tmarinn Service, it is very likely thj .fcr crxe would lc gien in the orier of Hrvlnp;np?it to propo.ifor.s civerirg or u-s. public lands ,nd that '.he reclamation of lands, all or nearly all in private ownership, vo'.dd te ' de ferred. On the other hand, you will see the primary purpose of i.iy WW is the reclamation of lands in wivule ownership, which applies to nil of western Nebra.-ka, w,th tritljng excep tions. In conclusion, I should be glad to render every possible service in i-Hi: If f the development of your Box Butte County-Niobrara River proposi'i.ni. and shall await any suggestions jcu have to make in the light of the . talus here at Washington herein described to you. Very cordiallv vours, M. 1 KINKAID.

Ilighland-IIoIIoway Co. Shepherd Draws Fine of $100 and Court Orders Ford Automobile Sold Thursday was the jinx day for Harve Shepherd, Alliance man, who appeared in county court Thursday to answer to a charge of illegal trans portation of liquor in his Ford car. Mr. Shepherd maintains his legal resi dence in Alliance, but spends some time away from it. Sheriff Miller was the first witness cnlled. He testified that about 9 o'clock Sunday evening he was walk ing near the Alliance Hotel annex and saw Shepherd's car facing the curb, broken down. After stopping, he as certained that Mr. Shepherd apparent ly had been drinking. The sheriff said that he noticed the neck of a bottle protruding from a pocket in the door of the car. He lifted it; from the pocket, smelted it and decided that it was intoxicating liquor. The car had a couple of broken radius rods. The sheriff summoned Pete Schioeder, standing nearby, deputized him, and left for the Ford garage to get a car to tow it in. Mr. Schroeder felt that he was deputized to watch the car, and didn't pay much attention to Shepherd, who walked over to the car, seized the bctt'e and before he could be pre vented, dashed It to the pavement, saying, as he d'd so, "Here she goes." When the sheriff returned he saw the bioken bottle, and noticed the smell of intoxicants. When he got the ear to the garage he discovered another a match to some of it. It burned with in it. This was introduced in eourt as evidence. Following the introduction of the Munsing Union Suits, summer weight. $1.32. All sizes. Ilighland-IIolloway Co.

They reminded Judge Ta.'h of a similar case, State of Nebraska vs. Abley, which had lieen carried up to district court, wlu re Judge Westover had held that more evidence than odor was necessary to o.nfict.
