About the City.
LINCOLN , Neb. , April 18. [ Special to Tin :
Bun. ] W. D. Wlldmun of Culbertson Is in
the city seeking to organize an Irrigation com
pany for the country that can bo it-ached
from the Frenchman river. In conversation
with Tin : BII : : representative lust night re-
gurding tils scheme he said :
"Western Nebraska , in her ambition to be
come great , has overreached herself. Farm-
era have gone into the arid plains nnd , be
cause It rained occasionally , they have as
serted that there is enough moisture in the
ground for the production of never-falling
crops. The Idea of the "great American
desert" has been laughed at to scorn , and in
n sense justly , but the fact exists Just the
same that western Nebraska , Kansas and
Colorado know more of failure than never-
fulling cropti , and that In muny localities
farmers huvo become discouraged nnd de
serted their homesteads , pre-emptions and
tree claims. There Is but ono rea
son for this , viz. : Luck of ruin
fall. In the face of hope this truth bus been
forced upon us. The soil of western Nebraska
is all right , and with sulllcicnt moisture the
beautiful prairies would not only bq produc
tive but u source of prollt to the teller nnd
producer , ami the farms of the western part
of the state would soon rival these of thccust.
H need hardly he said that the soil of our
portion of the state Is light and thnt wind
Htorins often do sad work. This fact was
illustrated not long since In Fanner , Deuel
and KltuluH counties , and Governor Tlinyer
was culled UIKIII to beg for seed , that the
farmers might again sow and plant their
fields. It is un ohl saying , and a good one ,
too , that "Ho who makes two blades of gruss
grow where ono grow before is a
jiubllu benefactor , " and the same Is
equally true of ono who can make our
no-called de.sert blossom as the rose. This can
be done by irrigation and 1 propose to see
what I can do toward Interesting the public
in a work that has become a necessity If west
ern Nebraska over amounts to anything in an
agricultural bcnse. A visit to Greoloy , Col. ,
will convlncs the most skeptical what Irriga
tion will do. Twenty years ago that country
'
was an arid , treeless , grasslo.- plain. Sug'e
bushes , and cactus , with the prairie dog , the
bat , the owl and the rattlesnake contended
for dominion In that part of the heritage. But
the hand of enterprise tnpiied this apparently
sterile plain , and the water from crooks mid
rivers was controlled so that when moisture
was needed it could be hud without wasting
energy In praying for mill. That country
blossoms today as none other In
the west , and what irrigation has done for
( Jreeley It will do for western Nebraska. The
only thing that stands In the way of Immed
iate success is the noet's.surv capital. In this
connection 1 wUh-tosny that Greeley farmers
assert that they would not exchange acre for
acre with anyone in any country who depends
IIJMII rain for the production of en > ikt. It will
talto no fabulous amount to dig the wvessury
fauali , and ditches for Irrigation and with
water proH | > rlv controlled the winds mav
blow and the drouth come , but Nebraska will
grtnx tlu .self-sustaining crop. It hcems tome
mo that there is n chance hero for Munder-
son , Paddock , Dorsny ' Council nnd Daws to
do something that will truly benefit their
constituency , j bollevuthat an appropriation ]
mil lo sciured from the national government i
for such experiments In Irrigation as may bo
doomed necessary ut this time. The west has
just on much light to draw on the nuUonul

of the testimony at Pcoriu , III. The c.iso is
the ono in which the state asks the court to
annul the charter of the Nebraska Distilling
Company on the ground that the Incorpora
tion Is not fulfilling the obligation which ac

apiiouis for tin.1 state , Messrs. Lukeit Hamil
ton and Messrs , Ambrose & DtilTy of Omaha
appear for the defendant and Mr. K. F. War-
rcn for Mr. George \Voolsoy , intervening
defendant. So far tu the HMO has gouo it
would appear that at ono time the distillery
at Nebraska Cltv madu a profit of § 1,000 a
year , mid used Nebraska corn in its processes
of manufacture. The distilling company , a
year or two ago , entered the distiller's and
cuttlu feeder's trust , a Ixxlv which is said tu
control $50,000,000 to (40,000.000 of capital ,
anil since then it has been shut down. Mr.
U'oolsoy , who ban testified , says that the
Germans within recent years have taken
from the United States the foreign trailo In
alcohol , and thus the producing capacity
greatly exceeded the power of consumption.
Hence distillers could not , or thought they
could lint maku a living prollt ; uml hence the
trust , the object of which was to limit the
production within the lines of consumption ,
the practical result being that outside distiller
ies uro shut down and an effort mudo to bring
the manufacture to definite- centers and great
distilleries , on the theory that this overpro

AVill It Hold Its Nevt Animal Meeting
In Onmha.
The committee of the Omuha medical so
ciety , Drs. Bacon , Gnpen , Crummer , Bryant
and Hosewatcr , appointed to endeavor to in
duce the American medical society to hold its
meeting of 1891 in this cityLscurncstly work
ing in the cause. It is composed of active , en
ergetic men who are having some effect upon
these with whom they como in contact. They
have sent letters to the various medical so
cieties in this section of the country urging
their delegates at the next meeting of the as
sociation in Nashville to vote for Omaha as
the meeting place for 1891.
Thus fur Iowa has responded favorably , the
medical society of thnt state instructing its
delegates to support Omaha in the contest.
On the subject ot the advantages to bo de
rived from nnd the advisability of holding the
session of'ill In this city , the following opin-
.ions of physicians were obtained :
Dr. J. M. Swetnum By all means Omaha
should have the next convention of the Amer
ican medical society. Omaha is the most
centrally located and hits splendid hotel ac
commodations. By that time the Dellonc ,
another first class hotel will bo ready for use.
The convention will bring a nice , representa
tive class of men to Omaha for ono week nnd
as each is n man of moro or less influence in
the community ho represents it is Ixnind to bo
u grent advertisement for the city. Doctors
nro a class of men who are free in the expres
sion of their opinions and if they nro favor
ably impressed \yith our city you con see the
Innumerable good words thnt will bo spoken
for us In different portions of the country.
Dr. C. Hosewuter The American medical
association is composed of the best element of
the medical profession , the leading physi
cians and surgeons of the United States , men
who stand high in their respective communi
ties. The meeting of such a body of men
would bo a great benefit to the city in more
ways than ono. It would not only tend to
unite the profession more , firmly out estab
lish moro respect for Us members , elevate
their minds , broaden their ideas and thus in
directly enhance their value to their patients.
The intermingling of physicians in medical
societies just as much benefits them as does
tbo union of mechanics in trades unions.
As the meeting will bring to Omnha about
twentv-tlvo hundred strangers.thoro has been
a good deal of talk about our city's inability to
entertain such n largo number of guests.
While I thought from the start that this \va-s
false I sot iilxnit in the last few days to inves
tigate into this matter in n practical manner.
Dr. Bacon and I culled at all the hotels of any
Hlgnlllcunco in this city nnd Council BlutTs
and Inquired into the number of their rooms ,
the average numberof guests per day through
the entire-year , the cnjmeity of the hotels ,
and the largest number to which they have
over given shelter at any one time. Putting
the hotels of Omaha Into two classes wo have
the folowlng results :

From this It will bo seen thnt thehotels o ?
these two CHIC'S ruiiuccoumioduto 1,1100 guests
over and above their regular attendance with
out crowding , and have sheltered during fair
times us high as 2,200 guesU besides their
regular patrons , Several of the smaller
hotels have been left out of this Hat , which ,
if nddcd to the above figures would make u
still iK-ttor showing.
I hoj | this will forever sllcnco the croakers
who are constantly belittling Omuhu nnd pre
tending thnt It has not sufficient hotel ac
commodations for such gatherings. Besides ,
another thing has to bo taken into considera
tion , that U the fact that ut such times about
one-half the guests nro housed In private
lodgings or ut thu homes of their friends ,
Dr. A. F. Cnnnmor It does not follow
that becuuso wu invite this association to
meet in Omaha in Is'Jl it U certain to do so.
Many other cities will Ixt glad to entertain i
them. Smaller cities have frequently done i
so and felt honored uy the visit. That there ,
should bo any opposition in the profession i

prise to me , and whUo 1 don't feel ut liberty

to criticise any man's motives , what I know
of the action of the association in past years
it is sure that unless there is some public
spirit and unity of fooling manifested hero
they will pass us by and go to probably somh
smaller town in thcipust or south. There is a
feeling among eastern physicians that the
west , medically speaking , amounts to but
little. I would simply submit that a disagree
ment nt thin time and on this subject will be
a very good way to perpetuuto that idea.
Dr. Bacon I wus among the lirst to start
the move , and my faith in its being u success
has been growing stronger every day. Wo
have just received u very favorable letter
from Dr. McCrea , the mayor of Council
Bluffs. The Iowa physicians have given the
mutter n unanimous endorsement , and say
they will do all in their power to bring the
convention to Oiimhu. Dr. Kosuwntor and I
have been around calling upon the physicians
and llml them anxious to do anything and
everything possible. '
Dr. Walker I am heartily In favor of It
nnd shall work hard to bring the convention
to Omaha.
Dr. Council I'm a homeopath , but I cer
tainly shall do whatever I can to see the old
school gentlemen of the United States
hold their annual convention in this
city. . It would bo an entertaining and in
structive gathering for us as well as them ,
and u splendid thing for Omaha.
Dr. McCrea Certainly. I'm in favor of
pulling every string to got the meeting here ,
and what's moro , I don't believe in counting
upon anything else but complete and entire
success hi our effort. To my mind there is no
question whatever as to our being able not
only to take euro of them but to do so with
entire comfort and much of elegance. It
would bo one of the greatest gathering in the
history of the city. And the city would
profit oy these gentlemen coming here , for : t
largo proportion of these who would como
would bo men of means.
Dr. Tlldo.ii I am in favor of making an ef
fort to sccuvo the meeting. It would attract
to this city tUOO ! or 'JMO , people. They would
remain throe or four days , nnd of course
spend moro or less money. Besides the meet
ing of this medical association is advertised
all over thu world , and that would advertise
Omaha. I don't know that there is any
thing in the way of our securing tbo meeting ,
especially if a strong committee is appointed
to work for it.
Dr. K. W. Lee I am hoarttlv in favor of
our city securing the medical convention in
1891. Heretofore , the conventions have not
been as well attended us they should bo be
cause they have not bcou centrally located.
Omaha is available from all points and is as
easily vouched from San Francisco as it is
from Now York. If th'ii convention is held
hero there is sure to bo n big attendance on
account of the central position of our city.
Omaha Is perfectly able to tuko care of the
delegates. Wo not oiiTyhavo the hotel ac
commodations , but matly of tbo dolegutes will
bo entertained nt private houses and the
hotels will not huvo unyjlroublo to accommo
date the rcinuludcr. .
Then wo have the Grand opera house and
Coliseum , where w-9 can hold the conven
tion , both of which are fur superior to the
pluces wo hud at out * disposal when the con
vention was held at 'Chicago. Hero there
will bo an opportunityvifor the delegates to
attend the lectures } luufAio various sections
without having to run. to another part of the
city. Thus in the xuosltlon building ono
section can bo listening to u lecture In the
Grand opera house ami1' another .section to a
Icoturo in Exposition'-hull , In Chicago wo
did not enjoy such advantages.
The convention will,1)0 , a good thing , both
for thu association and for thu city and I bo-
hove it will bo of moro actual benefit to the
city than the Methodist Episcopal conference.
Dr. Gulbrulth I should ho very glad to see
a meeting of the society hero. It would bo
on excellent advertisement for the city and
could not but bo of benefit to us , but , at pres
ent , I think our hotel accommodations would
bo entirely inadequate to care for that largo
