About two hundred representative
farmors and business men from the
surrounding counties mot with the
Lexington Commercial Club Monday
with Congressman KInknId and Sena'
tor Iloagland as guests of honor. The
object of the gathering was to discuss
tho subject of Irrigation and drainage,
In tho lowor part of the North Platte
River Valley. .Judge KInknId gave an
address In which he said that the
deficit of the govornment this year
was so large that mnny worthy pro
jects were crowded out of an appro
priation. Ho had Investigated and
found that.there was only a very small
sum of money nvallable for mnklng a
survey of this part of tho valley. He
had assisted J. M. Ncff, of Lexington,
to get nssuranco from tho Reclamation
Sorvlco that If part of tho expense
could he raised hero the trained men
of tho Sorvlco would be sent here to
carry on tho Investigation and part of
tjie expense would bo cnrrled by the
Federal govornment. Thoy estimated
that this district should raise $20,000
as our share of the oxponse. They
proposed to raise $10,000 In Dawson
County nnd $5.000. In Buffalo County
and have tho survey mado for those
counties. Scnrtor Iloagland protested
that thoy could not carry out their
project wlhout the consent and co
operation of Lincoln County and the
conforonco accepted his suggestion
nnd asked us to raise $5,000 and come
In with them.
An Association was formed with an
Executive Committee composed of one
representative from each community
in these Counties. J. H. Mornn, Sec
retary of tho North Platto Chamber
of Commorce. was named as the rep
resentative from this city. When the
survey has been made and tho cost
determined, we will be In a position
to secure what federal and stnto old
wo are entitled to got and then raise
tho balance by bonds, taxation or
other legal methods.
Experts from the United State De
partment of Agrlculturo havo stated
that wo havo cvOn belter soil for agri
cultural purposes than has tho Scotts
Bluff country and thnt with tho nrop-
or drainage tho alkali will disappear
and with Irrigation when needed we
can mako this whole valley as fertile
as nny place in tho country.

Scales For Tho Schools.
Tho Twentieth Century Club hns re
ceived and will present to the City
schools, five standard scales for re
cording tho height and weight of the
Luxo Weightless Bath Scales, Thoy
Luxe Weightless Bath Scales. They
are of solid construction, enameled
In grey and tastefully trimmed. Thoy
register a maximum of 350 pounds nnd
tho measuring rod will record height
up to six feet six Inches. It Is a
scientific fact that loss of weight on
the part of a child Is a sure sign of
troublo and the determination of a
child's weight at certain stated periods
Is desirable in all cases. Each build
ing is to have ono machine. They nro
so constructed thnt tho children can
weigh themselves.
