T-.1 . . . . ins ni" iui ui uiu iMiriii 1'iaiie rlvor by reason of tho Pathfinder resorvolr. Whereas two years ago the North Platte river became dry and the lr ngnuon uucnea snut down by reauon or tno fact that the tederul reclama tlon officials Impounded water In tho Pathfinder Reservlor from the regular flow of tho river, at a time when it was required 'by iwutor users lower down on the stream In Nebraska, and said reclamation servlco did not re leaso the waters unitll several weeks Injury had been dono to the crons: wjiereus the situation has again nccamo critical tills year and tho re cords of tho reclamation officials themselves shows, that In tho lntlter part of Juno tlio fedornl government wore Impounding and taking from the regular now of the Platte river from 1300 to 1800 second feet of water, which belonged to (the water users In Western Nobraska In the order" of their priority, nnd which fact caused tho North Platte rlvor to go dry at certain places and by reason thorof tno stato engineer closed our dutches Whereas tho Roulamatlon net nro vldos Mint the federal administration of tho watora shall bo under tho con trol of said lams, and as a mutter of fudt tho Reclamation service have re fused to obey the state laws, have re fused to comply with tho requests; of tho atate Irrigation board to file reports required by law. and are en forcing dopartmontnl rulet ar Wash Ington wlhch rofuBes to 'penult tho reienso or any wators Impounded In tho resorvolr whother Ithc wntcm vforo lawfully or unlawfully Im pounded : Whoras both tho sennto and house of tho last Nebraska legislature passed a resolution which Is found on page 157 of tho Nebraska Houso Jour nal, which directed the attorney gen oral of Nebraska to proceed In the courts and prdtect tho rights of No liraaka citizens to the waters of tho Pathfinder reservoir, nnd urged tho icucrni consrrepm in ini t" f"nnt Joint Resolution No 180 f hi'hh the stno of Xebraska to sueJie fed eral officials to determine our rights In tho roBcrvoir. Whereas official records of the Re clamation servlco show that there Is now ovor 700,000 acre feet of water Im'pounded in the Pathfinder Reser voir and that 'theno will bo more than 425.000 acre feet of this loft as a surplus unused at tho end of the sea son with the present attitude of the Reclamation service. That a release of waiter sufficient to keep the river flowing during the balanco of tho present Irlgatlon season will still leave more than 300,000 acre feet sur plus for tho government to keep over for next your. Therefore be It resolved that we, the republicans of Lincoln county In the county convention assembled do here by urge tho attorney general of the state of Nebraska and the state Irri gation board to at once order tho Reclamation service to release the surplus waters "hat Is In tho reser voir over and above that which Is re quired by tho government for Its own purposes.

Be It further resolved that copies of this resolution bo sent to tho attorney general and the state engineer, our representatives and senators In Wash ington, and that our delegates from Ithla county to the stato convention bo urged to securo a similar resolution from tho republican state convention of Nebraska.
