The following romunlcntion fiom J '
0, Bcelor to tho Chamber of Commerco ;
explains Itsoolf. t
To tho Chamber of Commorco of the
City of North Platte, Nebraska. ,
Thu tvnderstgned, having been up-1
pointed by your honorable body, to
attend n meeting of the State Board of
Irrigation, Highways and Drainage,
held at Lincoln, July 26th. 1D10, at 2
o'clock P. M. desires to report that I
attended said meeting, and that at said
meeting tho question determined was,
iwheuher tho order wiilch Mr. John-,
son, secretary of said board, had is
sued to opon tho houd-gntos of the
irrigation ditches west of North Platte,'
and for tho present not to regard the
water apropriation of tho Kearney
Water and Electric Power company,!
was correct or not. Mr. Scott appear-1
cd In person before tho board, audi
contended that under tho decision of i
tho supremo court, In the case of the
Kearney Water and Electric Power
Company vs. Alfalfa Irrigation Dis-'
triet, et al It was tho duty of the
state board to dollver to the head
gate of said company, 102 cubic foot
of water per second of time, oven
though every hoad-gate on tho North
Platte river had to be closed, and tho
ontlro fiow of water bo used In order
to supply said amount of water. I
contended boforo tho board, on bohnlf
of tho Irrigators of tho western pnrt
of tho state, that said decision of the
supremo court, while giving to said
company nn appropriation of water of
102 cubic feet of water par second of
time, 22 feet thereof for irrigation,
nnd 140 for wntor power purposes, was
at all 'times subject to tho action of
tho state board of Irrigation Highways
and Drainage, under tho particular
conditions prevailing, as to weather
and water supply In the rlvor, and that
it was for tho board to decldo as to
whether under such conditions it was
proper and right under tho law to
closo the head-gates of tho ditches
In order to supply Kcarnoy. I further
claimed before the board thai under
the conditions now prevailing as to
wcatlior and water supply, it was un
reasonable for tho hoard to closo tho
head-gate and attempt to supply Kear
ney, as under such conditions a largo
amount of water was wasted by scon-
age and evaporation.
Tho board hold that under ttnid do
clslon of the supremo court, and tho
conditions or tho weather, and wutor
supply In the river the order of tho
secretary was proper and Just, and
sustained tho secretary in maintaining
tho same.
When said decision of tho supreme
court was rendered, many Irrigators
thought they lind suffered a sovoro de
feat, but I have always contended that
the decision of the supremo court on
tho point of reasonable use would
soonor or later turn out for the bene
fit of the irrigators. The present situ
ation has proven that I was correct.
At all times tho board must apply the
following principle as laid down by
the United Stntes supreme court and
npproved by the supremo court of

Nebrnskn, as to whether or not tho

"Water is dollvered to propel machin
