Letter from Dr. Wilson.
Wilson's letter asserted that any-
lone who "believes that the effort to
.build up a nationwide trade in home
Wine materials has the tacit consent
of the so-called dry organizations is
undoubtedly in error."
"Certainly, if such a traffic is legal
; under Section 29 of the national pro

i should be amended and an effort to
! amend it should have the support of
all of those, wet or dry, to whom

Defended by Sheppard.
Tydings' assertion that from the
top to the bottom of the government
"there is not one official who con
tends it is illegal to manufacture
wine in your cellar" brought Shep
pard to his feet.
"Any misguided person who at
tempts to follow your advice will

Texan shouted.

NEBRASKA'S RIVERS
AND LAKES BEAU
TIFUL AND USEFUL
The charge that Nebraska is a
semi-arid state is promptly met with
the statement that a state containing
j 1,200 lakes and having a river mile
age second only to Texas can hardly
be classed as "dry" in a purely wa
ter sense.
The 1,200 lakes are located most
!ly in the sandhills where they are
ja great aid to cattle raising. Lakes
are bing enlarged and developed
continually by the Game. Foresta
tion and Parks Commission in its
j program of extending the outdoor
pleasures of the people. In this way
jthe water surface of Nebraska is be
: ing continually added to. Stocking
'these lakes with fish, where the wa
iter is free from potash, alkali and
i minerals, is adding immensely to the
i pleasure of sportsmen.
: The seven principal rivers of the
j state supply water for irrigation ami
i power besides varying the otherwise
j monotonous appearance of the state.
The Missouri is Nebraska's largest
river. It traverses the state border
on the east and north for 400 miles.
it drains very nine oi Aenraska ex
cept through its principal tributaries,
the Niobrara. Platte and Nemaha.
There is some navigation on this
river and some prospect that it may
become a highway of water com
merce when its channel has been
deepened, if th lit opcr;it ion provos
feasible. There is no development of
water power on this river. Some of
the finest scenery of Nebraska ina
be seen from the Nebraska hills bor
dering the Missouri.
The Niobrara, whose name signi
fies Running Water, is a swift no
ing stream, spring-fed. Its course
through the state, from west to east
is in most places a deep canyon,
sometimes reaching 300 feet in
depth. Ail along this river is beau-"
tiful scenery and many water power
sites. Some of the slopes of the val
ley of the Niobrara are pine-clad
and mountain-like. The Snake River
Palls, about U5 miles southwest eif
Valentine, is the largest in Nebras
ka. At this point the Snake Is 60
feet wide and falls about 20 feet
high. Schlagle Falls on Bcblagle
Creek, eleven miles south of Va.in
tine. is in some respects Ne': iki
most beautiful falls. Tlu ream
flows in a deep canyon, studded with
pine trees, i tie water is clear, pure,
cool and the home of trout. Srinard
Falls. Sears Falls. Parry Falls and
Smith Falls, all in the vicinity of
Valentine, on the Niobrara or its
tributaries, are places of river beau
ty. The Platte is the most important
Nebraska river and the most freik
ish. In the summer its bed is usual:
ly dry. But In the spring and fall
during the rainy seasons and when
the mountain snows are melting it is
a broad stream carrying a slow-moving
torrent of water on its shallow
bed to swell the waters of the Mis
souri. The Platte affords consider
able irrigation and some of the large
water power sites, notably at Kearney
and Gothenburg, are on this river.
The Loup is really three rivers
, which join and make one stream,
'he South. Middle and North Loup
b has its own identity. They are
d by sandhills springs and main
tain their size very well throughout
ihe year. The Loup affords much
water for stock, also for domestic
purposes, irrigation and power. The
plant at Boelus is the largest on this
river.
The Elkhorn is very much like the
Loup, but has a greater tendency to
overflow. The water is swift and
clear, except at uood time when it
carries a heavy load of sediment.
The river is used for stock, domestic
purposes, power and a limited amount
of irrigation.
The Blue Rivers are among Ne
braska's most beautiful streams.
They are fed with both spring and
run-off water. The valleys contain
fertile bottom lauds. The fall of
these streams is used for water
power more than thai of other rivers
of this state. On the Blue between
Seward and the Kansas line are
thirteen power plants in operation.

Rain ami snow, long withheld by

And word from the southwest was
that more wet weather, brimming
over on the wheat and corn belt as
it passed north, was in prospect.
There was a genuine downpour in
Illinois, where a winter drouth had
existed three months. Farmers were
jubilant as the rain drummed down,
and cities which had gone on short

their troubles.
Likewise, In Missouri, a lesser

f do know states whose dplpp.no
will represent a majority of the next
national convention have already de
clared for some change in existing
conditions and if that means o-nin

already gone wet. I hope the demo

thre is any doubt that it will."
