Water For North Platte Ditch.
J. G. Beolcr returned yesterday from
Lincoln where he appeared before tho
state hoard of irrigation and filed a
complaint against the tri-state irriga
tion company and other western ditches
for taking all the water in tho North
Plntto river nnd leaving none for tho
North Platte ditch, which has a prior
right over all other ditches in tho west
part of tho state. He presented tho
the facts in such n manner that tho
board instructed the state secretary to
see that the North Platto ditch jwas
given 100 cubic feet of water per second
which is considerably less than tlinn the
amount to which it is entitled, but
which is satisfactory to the ditch com
pany. So People May Know
