NEW DISTRICT ORGANIZED
School District No. 41 Divided and
District No. 100 Organized
Northeast of Hemlngford
Since ordering the Box Butte Coun
ty School Bulletins for 1913-14, print
ed fax this issue of The Herald, Miss
Reed has received notice of the
organization of a new school district
northeast of Homing ford. District No
41 vbi divided-on the half section
Mae crossing sections 34, 36, 36, Tp.
28 N., K. 49 W. The north end con
stitutes the sew district which is
No, 100. The south end continues
as District No. 41, the officers remain
tng the same as before the division.
The new district contains the fol
lowing named sections and parts of
seoUane, all In Tp. 28 N.. R. 49 W.:
All of sections 13, 14, IS, 22. 23, 26,
26 and 27; Wft 24; N&34, Nft 35.
Ntt 36.
The first meeting of the new dis
trict was held Decern br 1, and or
ganized by electing the following of
ficers: Mrs. Hannah Drews, direct
or; Gradual Pergl, moderator; Jos
eph Kriz, treasurer. Their post of
fice address is Hemingford. If a
sod school house can be constructed
this winter, a term of school will
be held during this school year; if
not, it is probable that no school will
bo held until next school year.

MERCHANTS HAVE BIG TRADE
As an indication of the kind of
business that merchants have, who
make a liberal use of the advertising
columns of The Herald, we might
mention the one Kern of candy car
ried by the Bee Hive store. With a
large amount of caudy already on
hand, Mr. Kewer, the proprietor, re
ceived yesterday another shipment of
over two tons for his Holiday trade,
the shipment invoicing 4.200 pounds.
This indicates something of the mag
tvi'.ude of the retail trade of the live
merchants of the city.

A Marvelous Escape. '

large bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Kem

To meet the needs of the residents
of southwestern Nebraska, presented
through Representative Silas R. Bar
ton, of the fifth congressional dis
trict, the United States Geological
Survey recently detailed N. H. Dar
ton to make a preliminary investiga
tion of the underground water sup
ply of the region available tor irriga
tion. It is said that in general the
rainfall of this region is adequate
for crop growing, but in dry seasons
additional water is needed and at all
times irrigation would be of material
advantage. Recently a number of
pumping plants have been installed
for raising water from shallow wells
along the Platte and Republican val
leys, and the running expenses have
been so moderate and rsults so sat
isfactory that many additional plants
are projected. The two most im
portant factors to be considered are
the volume of water available and
the area in which it can be obtain
ed. The underground conditions in
the Platte valley were investigated
by Mr. Darton in 1896 and the re
sults stated in a report with a de
tailed map, issued as Water-Supply
and Irrigation Paper No. 12. The
supply of this publication a now ex
hausted, but copies of it may be
found in many libraries and in the
Denver office of the Geological Sur
vey. Good Supply of Underground Water
The valleys of Platte and Repub
lican rivers in western Nebraska con
tain wide bottom lands underlain by
a thick deposit of sand and gravel
carrying a large amount of water.
This water rises within 10 to 30
feet of the surface in much of the
area, the distance varying locally
with the height of the land above
the river and the nature of the de
posits. The flats have an average
width of nearly ten miles along the
Platte from Kearney to North Platte,
and the area of bottom land is great
er from Kearney eastward. The flats
along Republican river are much
narrower but Include a large acreage
of level land in which water is not
far below the surface. In both val
leys there is in reality a gradual
rise on either side from the river
bank, although the land appears
nea'rly level.
Table-Lands also Underlain by Water
On each side of both valleys are
extensive table-lands of moderate
height capped by sand and gravel in
a widespread sheet of considerable
thickness. The lower part of this
material contains considerable water
I w UK. 41 iu UHJBi vi iu urea Ufa iruui
125 to n& feet below the surface.
Water cannot be pumped from, such
a depth for profitable irrigation of
field crops, but in places K can be
made to pay for orchards and gar
dens. The line of demarcation be
tween the area with dep water and
that with shallow water is well de
fined, for In greater part the high
lands rise abruptly from the river
flats. The principal pumping plants
in the Platte valley are south and
east of Kearn' i, on the bottom
lands. They are all of recent instal
lation, but some were in operation
last summer with most satisfactory
results. The water surface is from
12 to 25 feet deep and the larger
pumps have, yielded 1,000 gallons a
minute with only a moderate reduc
tion in height of water and no per
ceptible effect on the main Inflow.
Similar conditions exist in the Re
publican valley, Two miles south of
McOook a pumping plant has been
installed by the commissioners of
Red Willow county. It Is run by
electricity and yields nearly 1,000
gallons a minute, with slight reduc
tion of water level at first but with
out further effect on the supply even
during a long run. The well is 88
feet deep, and the water rises with
in 20 feet of the surface.
Great Volume of Underground Water
The total volume of water in the
river deposits of southwestern Ne
braska is difficult to estimate, but
as the beds are thick and consist
largely of coarse materials, the a
mount is very great. The main ov
erflow travels laterally from the val
ley slopes, and there Is a large year
ly increment from the rainfall. The
annual rainfall is nearly sufficient
in volume for irrigation of the cultiv
able valley lands without reducing
the existing water plane materially
except in pUices where pumping
plants are placed very close together.
Most of the land of the river bot
toms is .level, so that ditching is
easy, but In some areas the soil U
porous and the grade so slight that
It will doubtless be difficult to carry
the water any great distance.
The water under the uplands be
tween the valleys has not been util
ized for Irrigation except at a few
ranches where windmills raise e
nough to Irrigate small gardens or
orchards. The volume is much less
than In the valleys and varies some
what from place to place.
