LINCOLN, June . (Speclal.r-The ta
pyr of the state today showed their con
fidence 'In the Stato Board of Equalisation
to bring about a Just assessment of rail
road property, for tliey had no pleader
present to rebut the testimony handed In
by the railroads, through Tax Commis
sioner Scrlbner of the Union Pacific, R. 8.
Pollard of the Burlington and T. A. Pol-
leys of the Omaha. . The argument was
merely a rehash of what has alresdy been
heard time and again ahd will cut but lit
tle If any figure In assisting the board to
arrive at Its final conclusions, for as a
matter of fact each member of the board
knows Just what the assessment will be
or very nearly the exact figures, and the
much advertised hearing was given through
courtesy to the roads and to any who
might have something to aay, and not that
the board members .thought they would
secure any additional Information.
It was the Intention of the board last
night to announce Its figures In order that
they might be used as a basis of argu
ment and though the agreement was prac
tically reached . this was not done, the
board evidently considering that It would
be too much Uke a Judge sentencing a man
to bo hanged and then calling In the peo
ple to see If the sentence suited them. ,
M. Scrlbner offered the value of the
tocke and bonds of his company at $434,
000.000, mid offsets valued at I179,000,0ft0, and
as he read out the Various securities that
go io make up the offsets he was chat
)c;i;cd at every turn by Mr. Hortensen, and
1hu the afternoon was spent with little
j fo'i. to any one. Mr. Pollard again sub
mitted tho report he had formerly filed
ii board, as did Mr. Folleys.

Platte river for Irrigating and other ben'
flclal purpose; proposing to construct a
canal about ISO miles In length and to lrrl
gate about 160,000 acres of land In Bcott'a
Bluff county. The point of diversion of the
water1 from the river and the line of the
proposed canal being substantially the
seme as that of the canal, the construction
of which hsd been begun by the Fsrmers'
Caaal company In March," 188, but which
had only been partially completed to a
distance of about twenty miles from the
point of diversion, and was only in actual
ose to such an extent as to water about
S.080 aerea of land. The lights of the Farm
ers' Canal company were purchased by
Robert Walker, an eastern capitalist, aur-
Ing the hard times, after the concern had
failed to float an Issue of bonds. Later
William Frank filed bis application to
cover the same district, alleging that the
right of appropriation of the Fanners'
Csnal company had expired by limitation.
Later the Farmers' Irrigation district also
filed an application, alleging that the grant
of the canal company had expired by. lim
1 tat I on and that Frank's application was
made for speculative purposes snd was void
for that reason. At a hearing before the
Board of Irrigation on the application of
Frank's the Farmers' Canal company and
Robert Walker filed a protest, claiming
that their prior appropriation still was
good. The Fsrmers' Irrigation district also
Intervened. The board decided that the In
terventlon of the Irrigation district should
be dismissed because It covered lands al
ready filed.
The court holds that Frank's application
was defective because he had failed to de
scribe the land which he Intended to Irri
gate, as required by statute. For this rea
son he is permitted to amend his applica
tion before the Board of Irrigation without
losing his right of priority. The court holds
in the irrigation district contention that
Roberts, Walker and the Farmers' Canal
company were entitled to an appropriation
of water to cover all of the territory for
which application was msde In 1897, al
though the canal was far from complete at
the time the suit was Instituted.
To the argument of the district that non
user Is a forfeiture of an allowance made
In a ruling made by tno board, the court
replies by laying down the following new
principle of Irrigation law!
Non-user must be continued for a time
equal to the statutory limitation on.ctlons
to recover the possession of real property
in order to lose the right of appropriation.
Under the statute ten yeara may lapse
before realty la lost to adverse possession.
The decision establishes precedents of na
tional Importance in irrigation litigation. It
holds that the State Board of Irrigation
acta In a quasi-Judicial capacity and that
an adjudication by It cannot be attacked in
a collateral action, and also that tho land
must be specified In an application for the
use of water, Inasmuch as the right to tha
use of water la attached to the land which
la to be Irrigated.

posi of constructing a drainage ditch.

Methodist Celebration.
Nebraska Methodists today told of old
time preaching and old-time preachare and
a large crowd waa present to take part In
the discussion and to listen. Charles A.
Ooea of Omaha told of Nebraska aa Meth
odism helped to make It. He cited numer
ous figures showing statistically the prog
ress of the church. The first conference
ever held by the church anywhere occurred
In 1773. There were then but ten preachers
In the world. In 1802 there wero 4.858 min
isters representing a membership of 721,804.
In 1904 the church had 18,000 ministers en
rolled, with 1,000,000 members. Of these
Nebraska has 438 preachers. In four English-speaking,
white conferences, 634
churches, 680 Sunday schools, with 64,693
scholars, and a total church membership
of 65.018. Property owned by the church
amounta to 11,929,937. Fifty years ago the
thistles were growing where St. Paul
church now stands, and, like tha church
building, the whole organism has grown
amid adversities and against many storms.
He declared that Methodism perhapa was
one of the most potent elements in the his
tory of Nebraska,' beginning when Ne
braska began, and having Its life unfolded
with that ot the territory and state.

"CONDUCT OF LIFE" IS HIS SUBJECT
Semes People M ho Pat Money Above
Morality aad Sees Dancer to
Republic frora Their
Influence,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 9. (Special Telegrams
Henry Watterson faced a crowded audi
torium when he delivered the commence
ment oration this morning before the State
university graduating class.
The address followed the commencement
procession, which was Impressive beyond
precedent. It waa led by Chancellor An
drews In his resplendent robe of office and
was partly composed of the nearly 260
graduates.
"Conduct of Life" was the theme of Mr.
Watterson's oration. It was discussed In
a masterful discourse that thrilled the
large audience Into repeated outbursts. Ills
remarks related largely to the dangers that
menace the republic. Credit and charncter,
the blessed heritage of its manhood and
womanhood, are the only gold mines that
conserve its life's success. Deprecating the
growth of the spirit of accumulation, the
mania for money-getting, he declared that
the real success in securing happiness is
obedience to the golden rule, wherein lies
the whole secret of human happiness.
Incidentally the speaker soundly ex
coriated the "400" for trie growing ostenta
tion of wealth. The money standard Is held
so high and the moral standard so low that
many peoplo think there Is no hope, but,
as an optimist, he deemed the nation on
the ascendency rather than on the decline.
He deprecated In strong terms the fact that
It takes a million dollars to put up a pres
idential ticket and that a seat in the
United States senate costs 1100,000. This
Idea of political ethics must be abandoned
else the time must come when the presi
dential chair will be put up at auction to
the highest bidder.
Degrees were conferred on 244 graduates,
the largest class in the history of the in
stitution. Two doctor of philosophy degrees were
also granted to Edith Swartx Clements,
University of Nebraska, and Frank Web
ster Smith, Columbia univernty.
