(From n Stnff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jnn. 29. (Special,) An bp plication for permission to npproprlnto voter from the Niobrara river for a power plant near Valentino wna presented to tho secretary of tho Stata Hoard of Irrigation today. It Is proposed tn construct a plant with a capacity of 8,000 electric horso power for operation twenty-four hours each day. Tho claimant In Charka II. Cornell, a civil engineer of Valentino. All prior claims for tho appropriation of water from tho Niobrara river were with drawn today before Mr. Cornell's applica tion was filed. Secretary Dobson will make nn Investigation soon and If tho specifica tions of tho plant moot the requirements of tho Irrigation law, Mr. Cornoll's pormlt will bo granted. When operated at Its full capacity the plant would require approximately 1.600 cubfc feet of water per second, which amount Is about the total flow of the stream at high water. Tho dam Is to cost $75,000, tho machinery $50,000 and tho buildings $10,000. The specifications call for the con atructlon of tho dam at a point on the river obout three miles porthenst east of Vnlentlne, nnd Just below tho head of Mln Ichaduza creek. It Is estimated that the plant could fur nish more than enough power to supply all demands In Valentino for severnl years to come. Mr. Cornell has devoted consider nblo time to tho preparation of tho plans and he Is confident tho project will bo suc cessful. S'etv Incorporation.

NOHTH PLATTE, Neb., Jan. 29. To the Editor of The Bee: I notlco In The Bco tho action of the Nebraska delegation as they called upon tho president with a prop osition for n forest rcsorvo In the sand httls of western Nebraska. They quoto recommendations from men whose names they do not give, and con clude that tho rand hills of Nebraska are peculiarly adapted for a forest reserva tion. Notwithstanding tho recommendations of Prqf. Bcsscy, tho sand hills of Nebraska have stoud hero since tho memory of man nnd no treo has been known to grow on them yet. The few trees that havo grown In tho damp pockets of tho canyons were scrubby nnd scarcely fit for any purpose but firewood. For twenty-fivo years these sand hills havo been planted to timber, under the timber culturo law, and today, outside of bottom land planting, there Is not ICO acres of llvo timber In tho whole sand hill dls trlct recommended by tho delegation. . Prof, necscy nnd those other gentlemen who wcro fortunate enough to not have their names mentioned pay themselves a fine compliment when they recommend as a natural forest reserve a tract of country upon which the combined efforts of God nnd man have not been ablo to produce a treo since the formation of the world. If you plant a forest reservo you have got to drive tho cattle out of tho country. You cannot raise timber and cattle on the same land. If you want Nebraska to prosper, let her alone. Don't Interlope foreign projects into her domestic Industries, thereby de stroying both. Thoso who won't work and must call on the president, let them call Those who will work, let them work and glvo them the benefit of their labor. Irrigation Is a twin kid of forest reserve, both the offspring of people who want to llvo off of their Imagination, and are short on capital. Had Nebraska remained under her original Irrigation laws her Irrigated districts would now all be prosperous; as It Is they are swamped by bonds and debts that will eventually absorb tho land. If tho government would assist Irriga tion It must furnish the water direct to tho people who uso It. The moral of all this Is: If government won't assist Its workers to develop tho country, don't assist those who won't work, to rob those who do work; let tho workers alone to work out their own salvation.

CASHIER GOULD ADMITS HIS GUILT Say" Hla nnd Note Aggregate Fifty Thousand Speculation Ilrllevci! to ne the Cnnne of Ills Downfall, DAVID CITY, Neb., Jan. 29. (Spoclal.) The blowing up of the safe of tho Platte Valley State bank of Dellwood, this county, somn time ago, was tho occasion of the state bank examiner's going to Dellwood this week to examine tho condition of the bank, which he found bad; and a largo number of notes thnt looked suspicious. Upon confronting A. II. Gould, cashier, with some of this auspicious looking paper, Mr. Gould confessed to having forged several notes. The bank was Immediately closed by tho examiner and Mr. Gould was placed undor arrect and brought to this city last night by Sheriff Wcct and lodged In Jail. Mr. Gould has confessed to forging notes on several prominent farmers in the vicin ity of Dellwood to the amount of about $50,000, and It is the general opinion that It will exceed this amount. Gould says the forging was all done by him and that ho has no accomplice In the affair. The deposits of the bank amount to about $10,000 and the general opinion In Dellwood Is that this will be almost n total loss to depositors. Upon Inquiry at the county treasurer's office this morning n reporter for Tho Dee learned that thero were no county funds on deposit In tho bank. At tho time tho bank was robbed a great many of tho citizens of Dellwood expressed opinions about tho matter, but Mr. Gould Insists that tho burglary was actually com mltted and that If it had not happened the bank would have pulled through. Spoculnt Ing on tho Board of Trado Is supposed to bo tho causo of his downfall. Tho pre ltmlnnry hearing will probably bo held some tlmo next week. LINCOLN, Jnn. 29. (Speclal.)-So far as known here, thero are no now developments today In the case of A. II. Gould of the Platto Valley State bank, who Is under arrest In Dellwood on the chargo of forgery. Secretary Iloygo of tho Stato Danklng Doard and Dank Examiner Hartwell are still In Dellwood examining the accounts of the Institution. This morning Secretary Royso telephoned that he had found the business of the bank In a deplorable condition, but at that time he could give no estimate of the loss. It Is believed here that depositors may realize 35 per cent, but with an assess ment on the stockholders tho dividends, of course, would bo greater. MORE LANDS FOR SETTLERS Proposition to Give llomeatender Knll .Section or Over Instead of Quarter, na Now. NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Jan. 28. To tho Editor of Tho Deo: I have been greatly Interested In relation to your comments nnd criticisms relating to the proposed law which haR been presented, whereby the re maining western public lands In the United States are to be leased to cattle syndicates or owners. The first question that arises Is: Is this law In the Interests of the smaller rattlo owners of this country, whose horda wilt rango from 200 to 500 head? As this Is now recognized to be tho Impera tive tendency in the western cattle busi ness, will the, proposed law favor these small cattlemen and tho Industry by which they are endeavoring to maintain a liveli hood? Any law which will not be directly In their Interests will bo detrimental to the general prosperity of this western portion of tho United Slates. Again, is It not about tlmo that Justice was done to tho western homesteader? The present homestead law as It now exists Is materially tho samo as the ono passed in 1863, which recognized all public lands as valuablo and capable of well supporting a settlor on 160 acres. This amount of land looked large in area to senators or repre sentatives who lived in tho vicinity of the ten, fifteen and twenty-flve-acre farms of New England. One condition must be tnkon Into account since the first enactment of the homestead law Is that the area of land now required to support a family or Indi vidual is much greater than the amount required forty years ago. The grossest kind of injustice Is being done the settler who now enters tho United States land office and Is ,only allowed to enter a tract of 160 acres as a homestead upon the remaining dry and sub-arid lands of the west. A full section of 640 acres should now be allowed as tho minimum size of a homestead, for the reason that tho earning capacity of 640 or even 1,280 acres of land and In some cases not less than 2,660 acres of land Is required to equal the earning value of lands first filed on In the early daym of the bomestend law. Land naturally diminishes tn value and earning capacity1 tn proportion to the lack of humidity of the section where It lies and tho precipitation thereupon. A careful es timate of the earning capacity of 160 acres In western Iowa as against an area capable of earning the name amount upon the arid, or sub-arid, lands of the west, when ap plied to a homestead law would give a set tler where our United States government desires to be equitable and fair and honor able and the desire to do Justice, from one to four sections of our upland prairie, simply fitted for grazing In the western por tion of our country. To enact a law leas ing the public domain for grazing purposes, without first Increasing tho area to bo al lowed to settlers and granting them equal chances with tho cattlemen, would bo an act of the worst form of neglectful In justice. The number of acres In the west ern portion of our country does not count; in earning capacity with the lands of the humid portions of the easti whore from thtrty-slx to forty-five Inches of rain an nually guarantco the tiller of the soil a sure return for time, labor and monoy In vested aa against the six to eighteen Inches of rainfall precipitated annually upon the great plains and mountains of the west. While favoring the law of tho character proposed rotated to the leasing of tho pub lic lands, the samo cannot be too carefully guarded and drawn so ae to favor the smalt cattlemen. With the present homestead law only allowing 160 acres of land to each settlors the proposed leasing law when ap plied would mean simply a freeze-out of the small cattlemen, whose herds range In num. ber from fifty to 500 bead. One of the noticeable changes which have taken place tn recent years Is that through the Im provements made and devised for lifting and storing water, small cattlemen are able to go back a long distance from streams and start ranches where small herds can be ranged. Will the proposed teasing taw materially Improve their condition? The government cays be shall be given only 160 acres. What would bo the value of that 160 acres? The lands along the Missouri river taken as homesteads thirty-five or thirty-eight year ago are now worth from $40 to $60 an acre. Will the arid lands -now given to settlers, unless Irrigated, be worth that amount forty years hence? If not, why cannot Justice bo done? A nev carefully prepared bomrotead law, where nil climatic conditions should be carefully considered, working In connection with a Just lease law, would assist tad growth' and develop ment of this western country anything ess would bo Injurious. Knowing that Tho tloe has. whennver nroncrlv Informed on any public questions, endeavored to side witn tnoee wherein justice nnd right were carefully considered and equitably take the side of the right, to Tho Dee these proposi tions nro presented.

PLAN TO RESIST LYNCHERS Outfit Woadwari Utj It Qinn Trial for Killlig li.rlff. CASFER AUTHORITIES AIM Tt PROTECT Mayor Cantlln and Deputy Kyle Pre pared to Foil Any Attempt at Mob Violence Tnlilis Has the Prisoner. CASPER, Wyo Jan. 29. (Special Tele-. gram.) Acting Governor Chalterton today telegraphed here, asking It Charles. Wood ward would be given a trial tn court or tried by Judgo Lynch, and whether or not tho local authorities woutd protect him. This has aroused the people of this town Into expressing their claim that many lynch Ings have occurred In his own county. Tho county and town authorities here say they aro determined to sustain tho law without any help from tho governor and his mllltla. Mayor Cantlln said today: "I am mayor of this town, and while I cannot say whether or not Woodward will be lynched, I am con vinced thero will be no disturbance take place In thin town, and I don't need any outside assistance. I will do all I can to seo that no disturbance takes place, and If any mob takes the town It will do It bv force and because It Is the strongest party. I will swear In half the town as police be foro I will Bee ahy trouble." Deputy Kyto says he has over 100 deputies to seo that Woodward Is protected. The town Is full of deputies, ono of tho most determined set of men that ever took the oath of otTlce. Mob talk Is dying out, owing to tho fact that Woodward, at tho tlmo of his arrest, had on Rlckcr's pistol and belt, and it Is claimed ho rodo Deputy Johnson's horso from Woodward's ranch and had It In his possession at tho various sheen camps. Owing to their faith In the positive naturo of this cvtdcnco against him, tho pcoplo nro willing to seo Woodward tried In tho district court, which Is now In ses sion.

Judgo Bramcl has Just telegraphed Acting Governor Chatterton thnt ho wilt do all he can to glvo Woodward a Bpeedy trial, and that ho thinks the tocat authorities will protect Woodward. Officer Tubbs 1b expected to get back with Woodward In about four days. He Is a thoroughbred, will resent any attempt to take woodward and has done all In hla power to see that he Is protected. If the mob tries to tako Woodward from Tubbs, It Is believed thero will be trouble. Mayor Cantlln Is a man of reputation and If a mob congregates he Intends to disperse them, and if they don't disperse, no ono can fore tell the consequences. Woodward was captured thirteen miles east of Bltllngs, Mont., and Sheriff Tubbs left for there yesterday morning and ex pects to be back here February 7.
