Following three months of controversv while the Platte river here has been as dry as a desert, prospects are now brigh'. for resumption of irrigation. Reports Tuesday were that ali beadgates on the river west had been closed and that 450 second feat of water was passing down the river at North Pisltte. Roy Stuekey of th" Lexington ditch assured farmers feet of water in his canal he will di vert the flow into Kim creek, whence i it would run into the Kearney canal. Diversion of such a How into the Platte itself would result in great ; loss from seepage and evaporation 1 and several days would elapse before any of it reached the headga'es here. The Kearney ditch is owned and operated by the Central Power Co. and claims first priority rights to Platte river water. Ditch companies i in western Nebraska. Kearney irri gators charge, kept their headgates open this summer despite the local claims. Finally the matter was laid before Governor Bryan. Water can no longer save the corn crop of farmers depending on the Kearney ditch. It might, however, belli sutjar beeis, although gsowers only half a crop. Dawson county farmers alone, i' is estimated, will stand a 11,009,000 loss because of the failure t.j obtain water for their ditches.
