hydrants to run all day and night, not
only flooding the yards but the streets
as well, will probably not be surprised
to learn that Supt Scharmann has re
ceived a number of metres and will con
nect them to the hydrants used by those
who have been wasting tho water. By
this method they will be charged metre
rates, instead of domestic rates, and it
will teach certain ones not to abuse the
liberal rights which the waterworks
company has givon them.
In order to show The Triiiuxe that
fruit can be successfully raised in this
section, Mrs. Wm. Brown, of the Third,

season, each branch being well filled.
Mrs. Brown will have a heavy yield of
wild plums which are larger than those
growing in the canyons. Tho property
owner who is not growing fruit trees is
making a mistake, for with proper
mulching they will stand our winters
and late springs.

I toaad that everywhere the question
ei irrigation had been discussed and
there waa a universal interest on this
question. Everywhere I found persons
who had an idea and a plan as to how
water could be obtained for their neigh
berhood. It might be said that for
every thousand men there were a thous
and plans. Nearly every community
had made some start in an irregular.
ic manner, and after a thorough
discussion of the question had realized
that there must be more unityjof thought
aad action on this subject and that until
that unity could be created the task
before them was too heavy for their
U and weak communities. I found
thatahare was a general sentiment In
favor of working for state and national
aid.
The argument used in favor of state
awaWhaaed on the justico of our ro
carting something in return for our
BfopoKuemor me disbursements made
By hy the state for public expenses

for state buildings; all these disburso-'

ahouM help along the question of irriga
tion and that if the state would make
the aurveys they, the people, would
construct' all tho canals A state dis.
bursement made in this ma.niur, wou,$
be of greater aA in nhnnw''0.
They also believe that if the national
government would expend a portion of
its appropriations made for levees on the
lower Mississippi in aiding them to store
and retain a portion of the excess of
water that creates a dam, and for levees
in the states of Louisiana, Arkansas and
Mississippi, that they would make good
use of this excess and that the farmer
of the lower Mississippi valley would be
benefited by not receiving too much
water, while the farmer cf upper valleys
would be greatly benefited by retaining
this wasted excess of water by using it
for irrigating his lands.
The proposition to organize an associ
ation embracing all persons residing in
western Nebraska was very favorably
entertained and the name of tho Western
Nebraska. Irrigation Association, was
what was believed to be the proper name
for the association. The officers should
consist of a president, secretary and
treasurer with an advisory board, and
any other officers that should be required.
The understanding was that owing to
the magnitude of the work required and
the great and general benefit that would
result that all of the western part of the
state should unite themselves into an
association for the purpose of carrying
out plans for the construction of canals,
lakes, reservoirs and ditches everywhere
throughout the western part of the state
and of helping in every way to assist
tho people to secure water for irrigating
purposes. There was a general unani--minity
of opinion on this question. The
proposition to form local organizations
in ever' town, each of which would elect
delegates to a general convention to be
held sometime in September or October
in some part of western Nebraska, was
generally assented to and local organiza
tions will be created in every town
wherever practical.
It may be said that there was no
difference of opinion on tho benefits to
be derived. Everyono seemed favorable.
All admitted the benefits to be secured;
the only question was how to obtain
water. All admitted that the value of
their farms would be doubled as well as
the business and general enhancement
of values of all town property. The
belief was expressed that with an ex
tended system of irrigation, with the
storage of water in lakes and reservoirs,
that the rainfall could bo increased and
a favorable change for agriculture
created. Also that the population could
be rapidly increased; that a general and
permanent revival of prosperity would
ensue; that with the great increase in
production per acre that would result
from the use of water by irrigation that
western Nebraska would soon rival the
eastera-porlton of the state in the quan
tity of its crops.
Much mora might be said as to the
advantages of irrigation but there is not
the snace to do so. 1 have been re-
ques'tod to return to all points visited
and organize local associations, with the
view of creating from these one general
association, so that all of western Ne
braska shall unite nnd pull together to
promote tho question of practical irriga
tion. I. A. Fort.

The nobility have established a new
bathing place called Baileys beach, at
the end of Bellevue avenue, in the heart
of the millionaires' quarter. It is only
about 300, yards in length, but that small
space the cottagers think they can hold
against the assaults of the coinaaoa herd.
No buses or horse cars are allowed, rfc '
land pasaengers-taer during the snom-
ing hours. A bathing house has bees
built, "with a granite nvrtico. In this
little retreata 9 feet by 2, each of which

owbs it. A stranger could no saore bnv
or hire one of ..these bathing houses than
he could engage a front seat in the bal
cony of heave. Fifteen of the houses v
belong to the Vanderbilt family; others
to the Astors, the Stuyvesant Fishes,
the De Forrests and their clan.
The hours for bathing are from 11 B
tho morning until 1. At 11 three guarils
make their appearance; one patrols the
beach; two others in a lifeboat cruise 100
yards out. It is their business to rescue
swimmers who run danger of drowning.
Three young ladies, Miss Clews and the
two Misses Pierson, put their patience
sorely to the test. When Miss Clews'
head appears, the guards take out their
oars as a matter of course and head for
the open sea. When the bathing begins,
if a stranger makes his appearance on
the beach, men and matrons follow him
with such sad, reproachful glances that
he wonders what he has done now and
sneaks out of the sacred preserve in a
demoralised condition. Cor. San Fran

We are happy to give assurance to
Germany that we shall be pleased to sup
ply her with all the breadstuffs 8he may
need this year. Wo shall ask only a fair
price for them. We can also supply her
with other kinds of agricultural prod
ucts, quantities of them. We have somo
Indian meal to spare, and it can be fed
to the army horses, as the kaiser has
ordered. We have yet some hay left.
If Germany needs fruits or wines, we
have them for sale. We can supply her
with the best pork and bacon in tho
world, besides other meats, fresh or" salt,
in cold storage or otherwise. This is tho
market to which Germany ought to
come whenever she needs anything,
whatever it may be.
We must trust that Russia will non
