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,

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.

state'. testimony, attorneys, for the
defendant moved to dismiss, on the
ground that the evidence, consisting
entirely of talk of odors, was not suf
ficient to convict. 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. Judge Tash admitted that he
rememt'ifd that case, but called the
attorney's attention to the bottle con
taining a tahlespoonful of he liquid.
He smelled it, tasted it. ami touched
a match to some of it. It bured with
a blue flame. The judge was con
vinced. He assessed a fine of $100,
and issued a court order confiscating
the car and directing the sheriff to
sell it.

ncrease Your Production
of Butter Fat
Many farmers have learned this summer what a nice, fat little
income can be made from selling cream. NOW Just follow the
idea a little further: Increase production both QUANTITY and
as well as QUALITY by bettering the housing facilities of your
stock. The contented and well-cared-for cow comes nearer the
"oO-test" than the others.
THINK IT OVER THEN SEE US
Cut Down Your Feed Bills!
Hundreds of dollars are lost on many farms each year in feed
wasted. This can easily be prevented if stock are provided a dry
place for feeding. In wet weather much of the feed is lost if thrown
on the ground.
Every succussful farmer and stockman knows the best results
are obtained from feeding if stock have a clean dry place for their
feed and are sheltered from cold rains, snow and driving gales.
The best arranged shelters give this protection and at the same
time allow plenty of ventilation.
Free Building Helps
We do more than sell you lumber. We help increase your "ir
r "outgo". Let us tell you how. We will !e glad to give you
income and cut down
your outgo . , Let us tell you how. We will !e glad to give you the use of blue prints
and cost estimates of various kinds of stock shelters and other buildings for town and
country.
