CITIES INTERESTED IN IRRIGATION
The Age recently called attention to
the fact that the city of iMcCoot , Ne
braska , had voted $10,000 in bund * to
aid an irrigation enterprise designed
primarily for the benefit of the farmers ,
and that the fact had provoked wide
and favorable comment. The supreme
court of California has recently render
ed a decision which finally settles the
point that cities are included in irriga
tion districts , and that municipal tax
payers must meet their share of the ex
penses of district irrigation works. The
action of the Nebraska city and the
California supreme court thus agree in
proclaiming the fact that the towns de
pendent on surrounding agriculture can
afford to assist farmers dependent on
irrigation.
Experience in forming irrigation dis
tricts in California has developed the
singular fact that the heaviest vote in
favor of organization comes every time
From the property owners of the town
included. In the case recently decided
an owner of town property set up the
objection that the city of Modesto was
included in the district by the super
visors for the express purpose of com
pelling the land owners outside to form
a district.
However this may be , it is certain
that the people of the towns who can
not irrigate are not half so afraid of the
tax as some of the outside land owners
whose property would remain forever
tenth-rate sheep range without water.

largely from the town , and as the law
requires a two-thirds vote to organize
the districts they could not in such
case be formed without the vote of the
town. Yet in every case where a town
has been included the town vote has
been overwhelmingly in fayor of organ
izing. All of which shows that town
people are pretty good judges of what
makes trade. And these are cities
where almost to a man the voter is a
taxpayer , and are not like the big cities
having a large floating or irresponsible
voting element that will vote for any
thing to put a little money in circula
tion. Irrigation Age.
THEY WANT A SCHOOL HOUSE.
The late school census shows that
there are 108 persons of school age in
South McCook. As this number large
ly exceeds the total attendance upon
public schools from that section of the
city , the question naturally arises , why ?
Perhaps there are two reasons more
prominent and worthy of consideration
than others. In the first place , poverty
keeps some away. The late legislature
provided relief for such in the law pass
ed which makes it the duty of the
school board to provide books and sup
plies free. Secondly and in all likeli
hood the most pressing is the distance
from the school houses and the danger
attendant upon crossing the railroad
yard. As many of the children are
quite young this is a real peril. THE
TRIBUNE takes the liberty of suggest
ing that this cause may be removed in
part at least by the establishment of
a school in South McCook for the
primary pupils. As the west ward
school house is vacant it could be mov
ed down there and utilized with good
results. We believe that the people
of South McCook are entitled to con
sideration in this matter. They have
broached ic before.
