The Trip of the Irrigation Special.
The irrigation special, which cov
ered the territory between North Platte
and Mitchell Tuesday and Wednesday
wns in all particulars a most success
ful trip and it is an established fact
that much onthusiaim in irrigation
affairs was aroused among the people
along tbo line.
Thin Special train of four cars andf
having on board Governor Aldrich undi
secretary, E. W. Rich and Cbas. V.
Roso representing the Union Pacific,
State Engineer Price and twenty en
thusiastic boosters of this city, left
this terminal at eight o'clock Tuesday
morning. At Hershey several prom
inent irrigators joined the party and
nt O'Fnllons the number was increased
by one. The first stop was mado at
Keystone where a meeting was held at
tho town hnll. Nearly one hundred
hnd assembled at this point to henr the
addresses on irrigation made by the
governor, Mr. Rich, and Messrs.
Beeier, Grimes and Hongland. The
meeting was a most enthusias
tic one, and men in the meet
ing said there was no question but that
renewed interest would be evinced in
irrigation in that section.
At Lewe'llen a. crowd of 150 awaited
tho arrival of the train, and when the
meeting was called to order at the hall
the lat'.er was overcrowded. The
same speakers addressed the nudience,
and here, too, much enthusiasm was
manifested.
Several men joined the party at
Lewellen nnd remained with it during
tho entire trip.
The train renched Oshkosh at noon
nnd wns received by the band and a
hundred or more citizens. The citizens
provided the party with an excellent
free dinner nnd following this a rous
ing meeting was held at the hall. This
was the biggest and most enthusiastic
meeting of the day and the people said
tho addresses made would bear fruit.
Following the meeting the visitors were
taken out to nearby farms in automo
biles. The next stop was made at Lisco,
where fifty or more people had as
sembled. Here the governor mado an
address from the rear end of the trniii.
Northport was leached at7:30 where
automobiles were in waiting to convey
the party to Bridgeport. Crossing the
river into the latter town, the visitors
wore receiyed enthusiastically by a
largo crowd. following supper a
meeting wns held nt the opera house
which was filled to its seating capacity,
the addresses made being interspersed
with selections by tho band. This
meeting was a most enthusiastic one,
and after it had closed men gathered
in small crowds and further discussetl
irrigation subjects. Wednesday the
party was driven over to Northport and
the train begnn its hip to Gering. Tho
people of Bridgeport were certainly
courteous and hospitable to the
visitors, and the enthusiasm evinced
showed their willingness to boost ir
rigation. A dozen or more prominent
Bridgeport men accompanied the party
tp Gering.
At Gering the excursionists found a
big reception committee awaiting them
who extended the glad hand and bade
them embark in the fifteen automobiles
which Avoro in waiting. An extended
trip over tho country road around Gering
was made, and farms of 1G0 acres were
pointed out whero the owners netted
$4,500 and $5,000 last year, and this
year the returns would be greater.
Tho main crops grown around Gering
are sugar beets and nlfalfa, with con
siderable oats nnd corn, though the
latter is not considered a strong crop.
The condition of the alfalfa and beets
around Gering are net superior to those
in tho Hershey section, but the percent
age of Innd under cultivation as com
pared with tho total is greater than
in tho Hershey section.
At tno conclusion oi tnis nue a
meeting was held at the court house,
tho room being filled with interested
men nnd women, nnd the gospel of ir
rigation was expounded for over an
hour, Governor Aldrich, ns was the
case nt other points, occupying' the
mnjor pnrt of the time.
After dinner the party was conveyed
by auto through Scotts Bluffs to Mit
chell and thence to the land under the
Tri-stato and government cannla. The
Mitchell section is the paradise of tho
North Platte valley, nnd for miles beet
and alfalfa fields stretched out on
overy aide, Nearly all the land in this
section is under irrigation, and there
is but Utile waste land. Last year
35,000 head of sheep wore fed nlfalfa
in the Goring and Mitchell sections,
this fnll it is expected that 125,000 will
be fod. This will furnish a homo mar
ket for tho nlfalfa. Tho beeta aro
delivered nt tho Scotts BlulFs sugar,
factoryjwhich has n capacity of 1500
tons porjday. Tho condition of tho
beets varied, some fields being excep
tionally fine, others which hnd been re
plnnted were tho opposite. Both
Russians and Japs nro employed in the
Hold1). Taken ns n wholo the alfalfa
was not suporior to that of Lincoln
county. Tho country loaks so fino be
cause practically nil tho land is in crop.
A drive was then mado to a soction
under the government ditthV, Although
farming has been carried on for but
three yonra, moro than four-fifths
of the Innd is in crop, oats lending in
acreage nnd aKalfn coming next. The
condition of all crops is excellent, nnd
in five years more this section nlong
the ditch which consists of about 90,
000 acres, will be veritable garden
spot. Much of tho land under the Tri
state ditch is niso in crop. This cnnal
is forty-six feet wide at the bottom
and carries seven feet of water. It
will float a. good sized barge.
pUThto trip was concluded at 4:30 and
sjiortly after the train started on its
returnjtrip, arriving at North Platte
at 1130.
The object of this trip wns to nrousc
gieater interest in irrigation in the
North Plnttc valley, especially between
North Platte and Northport, nnd that
this result was attained was evidenced
by the comments of tho people follow
ing the meetings, and it is believed that
much good will follow,
i There was another fenture of the
trip nnd a most important one, Gov
ernor Aldrich learned more of irriga
tion than he knew before; and he
took the time to investigate the condi
tions as thoy exist. This information
will bo helpful to the governor when ho
is called upon to take official action on
irrigation matters. Another phase of
the trip wrs that the governor realized
that the one great need of the valley is
development; tho need of more people
to settle on the lands, nnd to this end
he has promised to call attention to this
in his message to the legislature, and
in connection therewith recommend the
establishing of a boa.d of immigration
and the making of a liberal appropria
tion for its maintenance to theend that
tho state, and especially tho western
part, may be more liberally.advertised.
Among those who took especial in
terest in this trip outside of the gover
nor and his party and the North Platte
contingent, were Morton Smith and
Engineer Willis of Bridgeport, Mr.
Gardner of Gering , Claude Dolaney of
Northport nnd Supt. JefTers of this
city. The efforts of these gentlemen
contributed largely to the success of
the trip.
