PROGRESS OP IRRIGATION SURVEY
DON'T APPROVE TRADING STAMPS
The censorship committee declined to, ap
prove a trading stamp proposition which it was
proposed to introduce in North Platte. The plan
of tho promoters was to sell a now f angled chair
to residents for $27,50 and to issue books to tho
purchasers of the chairs, these coupons to be ve-deeme-1
by the merchants interested as a five per
cent payment on purchases. The argument ad
vanced was that by accepting these coupons the
merchants who were in on tho deal would re
ceive additional trade for which they could af
ford to pay tho five per cent. The history of
trading stamps in North Platte has proven that
the scheme is too costly to be beneficial.

FUNDS TO RESIST TELEPHONE RAISE
The state committee haying in charge tho
work of resisting the raise asked by trie North
western Bell Telephone Company has asked
that each town contribute six cents for each
telephone in use in order to raise funds neces
sary to prosecute the case before the State Rail
way Commission. As the Chamber of Commerce
in behalf of the North Platte citizens, has gone
on record as opposed to this rate increase, this
organization has been asked to contribute
$120.00 as North. Platte's share of the expense,
In addition to the $90 00 it has already expended
for past appearance before the commission. The
increased rate as proposed by the company
would cost the people of North Platte in the
neighborhood of $600 a month over the rate
now charged, and nearly $1,000.00 more than
before the surcharge was granted. It is the be
lief that an attempt to save this sum is really
worth while.
TIIE TJKI-COUNTY IRRIGATION PROJECT.
The Chamber of Commerce was represented
at the Tri-County Irrigation meeting held at
Ogalalla February 15th by O. II. Thoelecke ami
Secretary Bare. At this gathering it was voted
by tho Trl-Couhty Association to extend the ditch
survey twelve miles into tho western part of
Lincoln county and have the proposed project
cover 15,000 or 20,000 acres of Lincoln county
land that lies too high and "too far south to be
reached by the Lower Platte project. Messrs.
Thoelecke and Bare made talks supporting tho
move to have the proposed western project onter
Lincoln county. Secretary Bare also attended
a meeting held at Sutheiland February 21 at
which the Lincoln county part of the survey wiifa
discussed with Mark Burke, an irrigation engineer.
INSURANCE MEN'S CONVENTION
The state convention of fire insurance
agents will be held in this city March 29th and
30th. It is expected that between 160 and 200
insurance men will be present during the two

ing features and these committees will be as

Department of the Interior Has Given
Them Valuable Pointers Concern.
Inn Their Pottery.
Ono of tho most ancient arts and In
dustries of America, the ninnufneturo
of clay utensils by American Indians,
has received the aid of ceramic experts
of bureau of standards of the Depart
ment oT Commerce.
Uoth In Arizona iind Now Mexico
tho Indian still tna!es his clay pots
and other wares as ho did years ugo,
hut they find different use. Travelers
and sightseers purchase them as sou
venirs. They have to stand rougher
usage in being transported to civiliza
tion's front parlors than they did when
they filing over camp fires.
When burned In tho primitive way,
by burying In a smoldering heap of
refuse, Indian ceramic ware Is fragile.
Through tho Indian olllce of the De
partment of tho- Interior the Indians
appealed to the bureau of standards
to help them produce better ware. Cer
amic engineers of the bureau of stand
ards made burning tests of some o'
the clay used In the Indian ware, or
recommended that It bo burned
slightly higher temperature. T
tery is decorated by using
nesc ore nnd methods w
out by the bureau so th'
burning temperature wlu
tho decoration. Tho Indlai
so told how to use cobalt
their work, and they wero gl.t-n ,
for slmnlo but modern kilns for bi
Ing their pottery.
One Way It Does Not Rain.
Tho weather men have been trying
to nnswor: "How docs It rahj?" It Is
a hard question, snys Dr. W. J. Humph
reys of tho weather bureau at Wash'
Ington.
"Lots of peoplo nro content to say
that tho droplets at tho top of tho
cloud l)IcU up others on their way
down and como put nt tho bottom full
sized rain-drops," he said. "That
sounds nice, but thoso who glvo tills
explanation seem to overlook tho fact
that clouds can float In tho sky for
days without giving a drop of rain."
He has calculated how big a drop
would result from such a fall, and It
turns out that a cloud particle falling
from top to bottom of a dense cloud a
mile thick and picking up every other
droplet on its way, woidd come out
only one-sixteenth of an Inch In di
ameter, much smaller than an ordinary
raindrop. -

To Die In Harness.
"And with hi harness on his back.
Plunged hcadlonff In the tide."
Macaulay,
Nowadays, when wo Bay a person
"dies In harness," wo mean that ho
kept up with his life work right until
tho end. This Is an old English
phrase, meaning to dlo In action, and
probably grew out of tha fact that
harness Is really on obsoleto synonym
for armor.
When Shakespeare had Macbeth
say, "At least, we'll die with har
ness on our back," ho meant that the
warriors would be killed in battle, or
die clad In their coats of mall,
A more recent example of tho uso
of "harness" In tho sense of armor
may bo found In Mncauluy's "Lays of
Ancient Rome" aa quoted above.
