and tho Ross. The first named
project Is to take out of the Middle Loup
southwest of Boelua and divert Into the
South Loup. The grant Is for 1.0UO acc
ond feet; the head Is twenty-seven feet
and the theoretical horsepower 8,068. This
project la to be developed and owned by
the Grand Island Electrlo company.
The Fremont Canal and Powr company
project Is known alao ns the Klohards,
Kountze-Fatteraon and as tho Central
Forvlce corporation. The point of tho
proposed diversion Is from th south aide
of the Platte, southeast of Schuyler. A
canal more than thirty mile long la to
lead eastward across the bottom lands,
along the bluffs and onto the upland to
a reservoir alts east of Cedar Bluffs and
southwest of Fremont. The (rant la
2.000 aecond feet, and development of
about 34,000 horsepower Is proposed over
i head of 1M) feet. Some of the work has
been done on this project.

tlniea In summer. Threo powers now
operate from water of tho trunk stream.
They are at Superior, Orleans and Arapa
hoe. There are several powera In the
tributaries of the Republican, most of
them being In the Frenchman. Medicine
and Beaver-Sappa.
The Platte Is used extensively for Irri
gation In the western part of the state,
hut not muoh for power. If it ever be
comes of advantage to do so, much power
could be produced at the "drops" during
the Irrigation season and from the nor
mal supply of the river at other time.
Power la now doveloped In connection
with Irrigation at Gothenburg and
Karney. The Pumpklnseed. Rush creek.
Blue creek, Blrdwood and the Wood
jiver tributaries have amall discharges,
yet enough for power development.
Floods In State.
Floods are features of the Hlg Nemaha,
Little Nemaha, Salt creek and Logan
creek. They hinder water power develop
ment. In fact, powers have beon re
moved from Salt creek and the Nomahas
because of floods and the Interference
uf dama with drainage.
The streams of our state best de
veloped for power are tho Big Ultie and j across the bench at Mclla and upon the
the Littlo Blue. These have falily un!- bluffs and hllla near the atate fish
form flowa, not much nffected by dry hatcheries located across the river from
tlmea and the cold of winter. The cost
of construction Is relatively low, and
there la a gool market for the power.
Among the best known developments In
these streams are at Seward, Mil ford,
Crete, DeWItt, Beatrice, Holmesvlllo.
illue Springs, Falrbury, Hebron and
Jeweese. They are used In milling and
In generating electrlo current.
Bazlle creek, Bow creek and the Elk
horn river have powers. Tho Elkhorn
has a large flow most of the year. Its
flood and the changing channel are
drawbacks.
The atate baa more than 100 developed
water powers, most of them being small.
The largest amount of undeveloped power
Is m the Niobrara, Loup and lower course
of the Platte.
The Niobrara, or Running Water, heads
in Wyoming, but It receives very little
water from that source. The drainage
area la about 8,000 square miles of high
South Bend. The total grant la for 3.000
second feet, and the proposed develop
ment Is 10,000 to 15,000 horsepower, with
a head of about aeventy feet. The total
theoretical horsepower would be about
23.B68. Some work has been done on this
project
Just what la to be done on these proj
ects Is a problem. It la evident that they
cannot meet the conditions of the grants
within the time allowed. Furthermore,
the amount of power which could bo de
veloped in all the projects, about 100,000
horsepower, is more than would be util
ized under present conditions. The pro
motera find It difficult to secure funda
for development In thla they have
great drawback. It Is plainly evident
alon of tho merits and weak points in
volved In each of these policies.
Certain grants for power development
huvo been made In Nebraska. The state
and the grantees are bound under the law
affecting these rasea The public utility
corporations are subject to publlo control
aa regards rates and service. Hut It Is
quite posslblo that not more than one
or two of the large projects can complete
development within the time prescribed
in the grants. We should dlsttngulBh be
tween private concerns and publlo utility
corporation Private Individual are
not bound ao closely under tho law. It la
evident that' rerpeuol water power rlthta
have been conveyed In practically all
projects now developed, and that the only
thing that can annul them la non-uao.
Among the things which have been dis
cussed and quite generally agreed upon
aa being beat In water power develop
ment are the following:
I. That the state owna and should con
trol the Intrastate streams not navlKabln.
The Ijonp la strlct.lv a Nebraska river,
and the Niobrara can be regarded aa such.
Neither rrver Is navigable, and there will
not bo much Interference on amount of
the use of water for domestic and Irri
gation purposes. The lower Platte la fed
by the Loup, and no complications should
arise because of tta development for
Power. ... . , .
SL That perpetual power rlghta should
not be granted. This Is against the pres
ent practice In Nebraska.
3. That there should be no speculative
holding of undeveloped power sites, and
no transfer or aM.gnmenta of grants
without authority from the atate. This is
necessary to prevent large combinations.,
and to protect the state.
4. That the state ahould survey Its
power producing atreama and altea thereof
and perfect a system for the artminis
tratlon of these resources. The state en
gineer of Nebraska la gauging the river
In co-operation with a federal depart
ment. The conservation urvey has
charge of water resource Investigation,
but Is without fund for this work.
6. That franchise should be granted
upon terms which Insure.:
A. Prompt development
II. Good return upon capital Invested,
allowing for risks involved.
O. Good service and a fair charge to the
Co run; mer.
D. Protection in the courts In oase of
dispute.
Thero is no definite agreement concern
ing the tenure of franchises whether
fixed-term or Indeterminate. Operators
favor the Indeterminate franchise. Some
fovar a clause permitting renewal at the
end of a fixed period, and others not. In
case renewal la refused, the state ahould
provide to take over planta at their fair
value, it would seem that the general
practice In business should prevail In
these leasee, especially so, because the

The best development Is In Plum creek

A large amount of power could be de
veloped In the tributaries and trunk
streams of the Niobrara. Borne of tho
most desirable sites are In Snake river.
The following sites sre now being lls
cused: Four miles east of Valentine,
south of Spencer and near tho mouth of
.h- ,iver. These have I em talked of for
years. The principal drawback for these
is the lack of market for the power. Some
persons thought that Industrie might be
brought to Valentine and other power
sites, but practically all hope for such
developments lias been abandoned. About
WO00 theoretical horsepower oould be
nenerated In the Niobrara basin, yet there
Is no economic demand for It. A market
may yet be found by Ions distance trana

The Loup hae valuable power poaslhlli
ties. There are several developments i.
billty In this matter read it In the light
of state welfare. Tho following faots
should be kept in view!
1. That there are large power possi
bilities In Nebraska awaiting develop
ment. 2. That one of the state's greatest need
Is cheap power.
3. That, under present condition, no
progress is being made.
Much has beon said about the conser
vation of water power. This does not
moan withholding from utilization. A
better conception Is that conservation la
development for tho moat beneficial use.
Thua far. muoh of the water of Nebraska
lias gone to waste. It is now running
frjm the state without utilisation. This
should not be, for Nebraska Is practically
without a fuel supply, except for what
la brought from ether ststea. Nebraska
produces abundantly of farm and ranch
products which go to power centers for
milling. The state is rich In agricul
ture, but relatively weak In manufactures
and commerce. Thla condition is well
known, hence It needa no further discus
sion. Admltt'ng thla, wo should realize
that greater effort must be mado for an
all-round" development of the atate.
But Industry follow power. It must have
cheap power. Let u bo encouraged In
the fact that the state has the water
resource with which to develop power in I
its most desirable form. I
i
Better for Uocs.1 Use. I
Certain advancements of recent year
make sure the utilization of such rivers
as the Loup and lower Platte. They are j
concrete construction, canalisation, and 1
long distance transmission. These con- j
dltlons enhance the value of power sites.
It should be recognized, however, that
most of our streams are too small for
use in long distance transmission. They
are better suited for local use.
Tho conservation of the Loup and the
lower Platte deserves attention at this
time. These rivers are well located with
respect to the state's largest cities. The
power, if developed, could be carried to
an urban population of fully S00.OCO people.
It could be used to light both city atxl
rountry. to drive the machinery of special
IndusirliH. and to draw tho cars of city
and InU-rurbun railways.

not much doing In the way of construc

The public la Interested in the matter In
i general way, but there la no deflnlto
ban Is upon which to decide In favor of ,
any given plan. Those who administer j
the law, and all who have anything to cb !
with the subject, receive more or less
and desirability. The matter of rental
or annual charge Is one of dispute. Some
favor a nominal charge and the cheapett
power possible for the consumer.
A. That the monopolistic control of
water power should be guarded against.
ficult, for water uuwers are moat effi
ciently managed when In large holdings
My such combinations, the load la equal

we may expect to see the powers of each
Nebraska river, such aa the Big Blue and
the Little Blue brought together under
a single organization or control within a
few years. Huch a development need not
be monopolistic
7. That the policy favoring state owner
ship and oontrol of water powera Is gain
ing favor. Just what la to be done In this
Hue In Nebraska, la a problem. Tim
policy la right In principle, yet It should
not be Inaugurated without a stronger
sentiment In It favor. $tate ownership
has Its strong points and Its pitfalls. It
requires an administration of permanence
and free from political Influenoes. The
construction of projects should not be
started until there Is a sure market
for power.
Let me say, in closing this article, that
I am not here favoring any given policy.
There la more or leaa merit in each of
them. Our principal effort ahould be di
rected In the line of bringing about re
sults, but we ahpuld not go too far In
this respect. If private capital can be In
terested In these projects by a leasing
system fair both to the operator anl the
consumer, then well and good, but If not,
we ahould undertake the development of
approved projects unds.tr state management.

The Agent
One of the best ways
to sell a house
is through an agent
'An agent works hard
for his commission; he
must first find a buyer
who is interested in the
kind of property you
have; then he may
spend weeks trying to
convince the man that
he should buy.
Often be doea not sell the
house, so all his work Is
done without pay. He has
spent his time, but you hare
spent nothing.
Ton should always em
ploy an agent, however, be
cause his experience gives
him a degree of skill in dos
ing deals that Is worth all
