(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.

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. Respectfully yours,

PLAN TO RESIST LYNCHERS

CASFER AUTHORITIES AIM Tt PROTECT
Mayor Cantlln and Deputy Kyle Pre

Mob Violence Tnlilis Has

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. So many men have been sworn In as depu
ties that thoso favoring tynch law cannot
find a leader, unless tho peoplo from tho
outside take a hand In tho matter. On the
outsldo, meaning the range, nro many de
termined men, and If they break Into the
matter a hot tlmo may be looked for be
tween tho deputies and the rangers.
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
