Bank Concerts Commence Friday
Night.
After considerable discussion of ways
and means, and amounts necessary, etc.,
Secretary Temple has arranged for
band concerts to commence next Friday
and the band has agreed to accept the
Chamber of Commerce's proposition,
viz: $1.00 per member per concert for
the summer season.
The band did not want to accept this
proposition as this amount wouldn't
much more than pay for their music,
however the Chamber of Commerce
board did not feel they could go any
stronger, considering the things they
wanted to do and the amount or money
they had.
Justwhat the secretary's plan is for
raising the necessary money, we don't
know, but we will probably find out
shortly.
Take up an Important Matter.
At tho meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce last evening tho following
resolutions, which arc explanatory, were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, It is the announced policy
of the United States government to re
tain, in the up river states all water
not now used and applied on lands in
the North Platte river valley, nnd to
that end and purpose have caused a
survey to be mad" showing the lands to
which water has been applied; and
Whereas, The stale of Nebraska,
through its state board of irrigation
has announced that applications for
water made in the state and which
water has not been applied to lands will
likewise be cancelled by the state; and
Whereas, In tho North PI at to river
valley ditches have been constructed
from which little or n6 water has been
applied to land and tho applications for
water belonging to said ditches will bo
cancelled ana ttie priorities lost if same
are not put in shape and water used;
nnd
Whereas, There is much other land
in the valley susceptible of irrigation
from the North Platte river for which
no application to appropriate water has
been made, and unless on appropria
tion of water for such land is speedily
made, tho right to irrigate such landfrom
said river will be lost and the valley of
the North Platte in the state be as de
void of water for irrigation as the
valley of the South Platte and much
wealth lost to tho valley and the state
at large, and to the cities and towns in
the said valley, therefore bo it .
Resolved, By tho North Platte Cham
ber of Commerce that we call upon his
excellency Hon. Chester H. Aldrich.gov
ernor of the state of Nebraska, who
has always been alive to the interests
of the state, to do whatever is in his
power to arouse the people of the North
Platte valley to the danger that
threatens them and ihat he be respect
fully invited to make a number of ad
dresses to the, people of the North
Platte valley oh this important subject
and that the Hon. D. D. Price, state
engineer, nnd other state officers be
also invited to accompany the governor
and to give the people tho facts in
relation to the danger that threatens
the people of the valley; and
Whereas, The Union Pacific railroad
is likewise greatly interested in the
prosperity of the valley and the de
velopment of irrigation therein, there
fore be it further
Resolved, That the said Union Pacific
railroad company be requested to fur
nish a special train to convey the
governor and other state officers who
may accompany him up its road in the
North Platte river valley, and that said
railroad company bo requested to give
whatcer assistance it can to nrouse
the people of said valley to the danger
tnnt threatens the water supply ot the
valley.
To push alorfg this resolutions and
tnko charge of the arrangements for
the proposed visit of tho governor and
others a committee consisting of Messrs.
Grimes, Beeler, Seeberger, Hoagland,
Stevens, Garlow, Snyder and Bare was
appointed ,

A Good Game,
On Thursday afternoon the postoffice
ball team crossed bats with the junior
normal team leading the latter to a
well earned dqfeat by a score of 5 to 4.
Tho gamo was well attended by a largo
number of teachers from the normal,
and the ferocious rooting done by tho
normal tended to make the game ox
citing from start to finish.
The batteries were Dickerson, and
Pierce, for the normals and Clark,
pitched, and Robinson, for the post
office' boys.
The work of the batter for the
normal was worthy of mention and the
work of Prof. Williams' on second was
one of the features of the gamo. In
pitching y Clark of tho postoflico
force held down the normals to four runs
and his famous out shoot was a bait for
the victims. Tho work by Catcher
Robinson on the other end of tho lino
Bhowed him to bo in good form for tho
season's games.
The batting done by Rector of tho
City Carrier Dent, reminded one of
home run Sandall who played with the
P. 0. team last year. Tucker on first
base captured every thing that came his
way affu showed that none of his old
time cunning was missing.
As a whole it was a good clean game
from the word "play ball."
