NORTH I'LATTK , Sept. 7. ( Special to
The Hee. ) The Injunction ot the Paxton
and Hershey Irrigation Canal and Land
company against the Farmers and Mer
chants Irrigation and Land company has
luen on trial before Judge Holcomb , sitting
In chambers at North Platte , for several
days past , on a motion to dissolve the tem
porary Injunction. After a very vigorous
flght the Judg ? sustained the motion and dis
solved the Injunction.
The case , Involving as It did the con-
ntrnctlon ot the St. llaynor Irrigation law ,
was very Important and attracted a great
deal of attention. The question Involved
was the construction of that section ot the
law which provided that not more than one
Irrigation canal can be constructed across
a tract of land without the consent of the
owner of the land when the ditch already
there can be- made to answer the purpose.
The defendant company , composed of land
owners , whose lands were not under any
Irrigation dltcli , was organized for the pur
pose of constructing a canal to bring water
from the North Platlo river to their lands ,
and tounil that It was necessary to cross
the lands ot the plaintiff company , who
owned the * land for ten inllea on the river
iront , and being unable to procure the right
ot way by negotiation , were about to bring
condemnation proceedings when this tem
porary Injunction was secured from Judge
Scott of Omaha on an ex parte showing.
The contention of the plaintiffs was that
the law should bo narrowly construed , and
that If It were possible for the Pnxton and
Ilcrshey company's canal and the other
canals already built to furnish the water
required by the defendant by enlargements
or extensions the- Injunction should be sus
tained.
The court held that to sustain that conten
tion would be liable to keep the defendant
company out ofwater for an indeflnlto term
ur compel the defendant company to take
water frum the canals already built al
possibly great coat , would have n tendency
to create * n monopoly , and that as the court
could not order the company owning canals
already In existence to furnish water to the
defendant company , and flx the compensa
tion to bo paid , the Injunction should be
dissolved and the defendant company per
mitted to condemn a right of way througl
the plaintiffs lands and take the water re
< iulred for their canal from the North Plattc
ilvcr , the common source of supply ; thai
Injunction In a case ot this kind wouli
not bo sustained unless It could be shown
that there was another and feasible ani
practical way of obtaining the water re
quired.
The Farmers and Merchants companj
was organized last May for the purpose o
providing water for a tract of 10,000 ncrei
of land ndjaccnt to the city of North Platte
nearly half of which tract Is owned by thi
stockholders of the company. The placlni
of this large tract of land BO near thi
city under Irrigation will bo a great benefl
to North Platte.
The Irrigation canals now constructed am
under construction will put over 10fl,00 <
acres of land In this county under Irrlgatloi
for next scacon.

The residents of Grant and Hooker coun
ties are In high glee over the receipt of th
news that the last congress passed a bill pro
vldlng for the resurvey ot the two countlc
and that It has become a law.
In 1870 , Just before the rush for frco Ian
set In In this portion of the state , the BUI
vcyor general awarded the contract for BUI
veylng these counties and the wcrk was com
menccd. The contractors were paid , hu
when the work was completed settlers wer
In but llttlo bolter position than before , a
far as locating their lands were conceritcc
The men having the contract merely ran tli
township lines , with now and then a sectto
line. Few If any corners were establlshei
and tusse which were were found to bo er
tlrely off when the county surveyor was hire
to locate some corners which It was ncce :
sary to find at the tliio ot locating the towi
site. For years the settlera got along
well in they could , figuring everything froi
the standard meridian , which , by the wa ;
runs thrngh the county to the north.
Two years ago all but four of the resident
ot Grant county petitioned congress for
resurvey ot the county , and at the la&t se ;
flton ot congress a bill was Introduced , pas
Ing Just beforu c'.ngress adjourned. The r
survey of the two counties will wcrk a han
ship upon Eome of the citizens , as there ai
cases where , before the new law was passe
parties owned productive meadow lands , at
now they may catch sandhills ; but. on tl
whole , there Is a great deal cf sallsfactlt
expressed. _ _

is superior In quality , but about 1& to 20 pe

crop is about 3,700,000 tons. Th
prospects for good markets , the report says
are discouraging. The international agrlcul
tural depression now prevailing has affccte
agrarian Interests as well as the mlllln
Interests of the world. Protective duties
the report says , have failed to produce th

NEW YORK , Sept. 7. Bcfaro ttev. Dr.
Parlclmrst disembarked from the steamer
Germanic today he talked freely to an Asso
ciated press reporter concerning the results
ot the police trials In this city. The dis
missal ot ( our captains and a great nujnber
of sergeants and ward men. Dr. I'arkliurst
said , was In the Interest of reform. "But , "
ha continued , "I do not think that they were
the most guilty ones In the departments.
The police commissioners are tlie arch crimi
nals. Of course I do not refer to the com
missioners who have recently been appointed.
I speak directly , though , ot Martin , Shechan ,
and McClave. These men must have known
of the corrupt practices of the captains they
have disciplined before I did. It they did
not , they were negligent In the performance
or their duty. " *
'Are ' you ready to present more evidence
when the Lexow commission meets again ? "
the reporter asked.
"Yes , Indeed , " replied the doctor. "Tho
natureof It I am not prepared to disclose
now , but yon may say I think It will be
more startling than any heretofore brought
out , "
The blame for existing conditions In the
police department Dr. Parkhurst laid at tha
door of Tammany , and the remedy Is In a
general revolt of citizens Irrespective of
party against domination by Tammuny hall.
