At a called meetng of members of
tho Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
ovonlng In tho B. of L. building, the
dralnago pioposltion, upon which
farmers residing west of tho
city aro working, was dis
cussed by government engi
neers Jossup and Millor. Mr. Jessup
has been in tho Ilcrshey section for
several weeks making examinations
of tho underllow, securing data and
getting matters in shape for tho organ
ization of tho district if such district'
Is desired by a majorty of tho farmers,
or rather a majorty of tho acreago In
tho proposed district.
Mr. Miller spoko of dralnago in tho
Irrigated sectlonO of Colorado, and
gavo Instances where irrigated land
which had become water-soaked, non
productvo and practically valueless
through seepage, had been re-claimed
through dralnago. Whllo conditions
wero somewhat different in differ
ent sections of tho country, ho
was confident that dranago of tho
valley west of town would provo a
good investment for tho land owners.
Mr. Jesup spoko of tho conditions
as ho found them; that thoro was
no question in his mind but that
dralnago would mako wondorfully
productivo thousands of acres of val
ley land that Is now In salt grass
but little revenue.
Tho district which it is proposed to
form would comprise the territory be
tween tho rvors front tho O'Fallon
bluff to tho points east of this city.
Within this boundary there aro 41,
000 acres of laud, and of these 41,000
acres about 30,000 acres would bo bon
ofited by a dralnago system. Tho ap-

Tho yield of sugar beets in tho
North l'latto valley will bo 9.4G0 cars.
Tho latest cstimato according to tho
Scottsbluff Star-Ilorald places tho
yield lit 378,003 tons. Tho farmers

than $5.50 per ton, In addition to
iirnxlinntn rnst of tliA nvstmm wnnlil
bo thirteen dollars on each of tho! which one-fourth or more of tho crop
30,000 acres, or a total of $390,000. Mr.
Jessup explained in detail and lllus
Itrated jby blackboard d)raw(ing tho
underflow of water, and explained
tho seopago problem. In closing ho
asked tho support of tho Chamber of
Commerce in educating tho farmers
to tho need and valuo of tho proposed
dralnago ditch.
It Is probablo that a general meet
ing of that organization will bo called
to which both thoso favoring and op
posing tho proposition will bo nvited.
Crook UuyH Home.
Tho Dundee Advertiser, an Omnha

former North Platto residents: Dr.
and Mrs. Crook, who occupied tho
houso at 4907 Underwood avonuo
since coming hero this fall, havo
bought tho houso at 5100 Underwood
avenue. In a year or so they expect
to build in Happy Hollow addition,
but In tho meantime, thoy will mako

cents per ton Is paid. On a basis of
one fourth of tho crop being placed
In silo-while this amount is greatly
oxcoeded for somo farmers silo all
that they raise, tho average prlco paid
would $5.C2V! cents per ton, and If
our arithmetic is right tho company
will pay out ?2,1 29,041.87 to tho farm
ers of tho valley this season for beets.
Komo incomo now, isn't it, and it puts
tho farmers in tho producers' class
with a big C. On tho basis that thoro
wero 31.000 acres of boots raised in
the valley this year which Is pretty
closo to tho amount tho avorago
yield would bo 12.21 tons per aero,
which at $5.02 per ton means a
gross Incomo of $G8.G8 per aero, ap
proximately tho samo as Tecolved by
tho growers a year ago. Wo imagine
it is safo to say that tho Scottsbluff
Sugar company will easily distribute
$3,000,000 in tho valley this year when
tho cost of repairs, maintaining and
operating tho factory, etc, Is taken
