THE NIOBRARA RIVER IRRIGA
TION AND POWER CO.
Under tbe above name a body of Holt
county capitalists have organized a
stock company for tbe purpose of ac
quiring water rights, developing water
power, locating, constructing, develop
ing and improving canals, ditches and
water courses, and to operate the game,
for irrigation and other purposes, as
may be seen from tbe articles of incor
poration, published elsewhere in this
issue.
me authorized capital of tins com
pany la 82,800,000, divided into shares
of 8100 each, and it is provided by the
articles of Incorporation that at least
810,000 shall have been paid in before
the commencement of business.
Rights have been secured on a suffi
cient body of water in Sheridan county,
where it Is proposed tobuitd a reservoir,
from which the water will be conducted
down the channel of the Snake river to
a point near Valentine, where the Nio
brara river will be tapped and a ditch
constructed on the great divide between
the Niobrara and Elkhorn valleys.
Stock is now being sold for the pur
pose of making additional surveys and
profile, which work it is expected will
be done by Donald W. Campbell, a civil
engineer of Colorado, famed for his
experience and ability in this particular
line.
In fact all necessary preliminaries are
being disposed of and the incorporators
are inoculated with an enthusiasm that
leads us to believe the corporation has
"come to stay.” It will depend, ot
coarse, almost whollv upon the manner
in which men of means take to the
stock as an investment, but from the
success of similar projects in other lo
calities it is confidently anticipated that
ready cash out ot a job will take
kindly to an enterprise of this kind, the
consummation of which will Insure un
complaining returns better than 2 per
cent., and on the other hand the value
ot the canal to this country cannot be
conceived or approximately estimated.
The idea now is to first sell as much
stock as possible along the proposed
line, then make an attempt to interest
loan companies holding land in this sec
tion of the state, and othor men who
have money to invest in sure things. If
this cannot be* done the townships along
the line should vote bonds of sufficient
aggregate amount to prosecute the work
to a successful termination.
Irrigation is the thing and must be
had. no matter what the cost.
Thu Jew likens unto a sponge and
absorbs the moisture in the fountain of
public revenue.
Uhdbr republican and democratic ad
ministrations the tax list was invariably
awarded to the lowest bidder, but under
a reform administration the highest
bidder does the work.
Tn Ewing Advocate says “the gov
ernment could loan money to the people
' aa well as to the banka." That's not
very strong argument In favor of
If Mullen’s state depository law, now is it?
ft- _r 1>t ,_
A. resolution was adopted by the
last independent convention held in
Holt county, denouncing both demo
; crats and republicans. We notice in
I* the last issne of the Sun ten sheriff
sales signed by an independent sheriff.
How this proves one of two things: It.1
proves that the independents were not
honest in their resolution, or that
; McHugh is not a democrat. The reader
will be Justified, under the circumstan
ces, in crediting either one or both of
the propositions.
After election, if county division
fails to carry, the Sun will favor the
scheme it proposed last week of reduc
ing the number of supervisors to eleven.
—Sun, September, '93.
How much time will have to elapse
before the Sun will advocate this
reform T The Frontier is not in
favor of eleven supervisors, nor do we
believe the change could be legally
S ■ made; but we are in favor of seven.
Something will hare to be done to lessen
the cost of county government or it will
be necessary to erect free soup bouses to
support those who now pay the taxes.
While it may be early in the day to
talk about congressman in the big
Sixth, yet there are several aspiring to
V warm Kern’s seat in congress. The
feeling is M. F. Harrington by the inde
pendents. It is understood that Mr.
Harrington will not be a candidate, yet
has he the right to refuse to be the peo
ple’s candidate when they call him?
Harrington is the man.—Atkinson cor
respondent in the Independent.
Mike Harrington is just the man that
!s capable of holding up the reputation
of the independent party of Holt
county. The one is as vulnerable as the
■ other.
Tun Sun Is the only paper in the
county that will publish the official pro
ceedings, having a contract with the
county to that elfcct.—Su’d.
Proceedings of the county dads will
appear in this, the paper of the people,
and all other legal publications pertain
ing to the county.—Independent.
Ah, ha! my masters, how now? Is
this a blunder of the board, or is it an
intentional steal? Both papers have
been uwarded this work and both will
receive pay therefor. The Sun was
awarded the contract for the proceed
ings, and the Independent secured the
contract for all legal notices. Proceed
ings are "legal notices,” so it will be
scon that both pnpers will get pay for
the same work. And the stars roll on
above, reform rolls on below, and we
can feel tko rattling wheel revolving as
we go.
Those croakers ol liades sought to
inveigle the board to give the printing
to the lowest bidder so they could set up
the howl that the populists had gone
buck on the Jew; had ignored the policy
of the paper by sitting down on it, etc.,
and they would have howled like iho
demons of hell in an effort to divide the
party.—Independent.
Now we are getting at the facts of the
case. The printing was awarded to the
Independent as a matter of political
policy and not because the public weal
demanded it. In other words the
people’s cash is to be farmed out for the
benefit of the populist party and the
interests, of the tax payers may be
damned. We thank thee, Jew, for the
above explanation, as it tells the story in
fewer words than we could, and will not
fail to convince that the reformatory
rantlngs of you and your party are but
molasses to catch flies.
A fofulist writing to the tituart
Ledger from Brodie, Holt county, de
livers himself of these facts:
I voted the populist ticket last fall,
and at the time firmly believed I was vot
ing for a more economic administration
of county affairs. It now looks as
though I had made a mistake. The
present bosses of the court house have
employed the largest clerical force of
any incumbents in the history of the
county, proving that they are either less
competent than their predecessors, or
consider county funds as the spoils of
the victors, to be divided as they see fit.
Iu the matter of county printing the
officers whom I helped to elect, think
ing they would consider the tax payers*
interest first, seem to think that Kautz
man’s independent organ staould have
the county patronage regardless of what
he sees fit to charge. That portion of
the printing for which there is a legal
rate, fiom a partisan stand point, should
go to Eautzman. The other print
ing, from a partisan stand point, should
go to Keutzman, but as a matter of right
to the tax payers and justice to every
citizen in the county, it should go to the
lowest bidder. One of the mottoes
paraded by our party is “equal rights to
all,"and the principles of no party come
farther from encouraging despotism,
therefore, I think every independent
will agree with me when I say that
Eautzman has no right to establish a
censorship over the actions of the
county officers, politically, or in any
other way. Our party, as I understand
it, is the uncompromising enemy of
monoply and the poor man’s friend, and
I think Eautzman’s attempt to have
republican editors boycotted and starved
out is not in accordance with the princi
ples of the populist party. While, as a
partsiau, I wish them all manner of
confusion politically, as a member of
the grand fraternity of mankind,! con
sider they have a right to live and a
right to what ever patronage their
legitimate buisness tact entitles them to,
Eautzman to the contrary notwithstand
ing. I am not the only populist in the
county who thinks a public office is not
a public trough, and as soon as the
populist party commences to listen to
the suggestions of greedy dictators of
anarchistic tendencies and fail to carry
out their promises they envite disso
lution and defeat.
INDEPENDENT STEALS.
At every meeting of the board of
supervisors they steal from the county
9186, by charging for the day before the
board meets and the day after it
adjourns.
By awarding the printing of the tax
list to the Independent they have stolen
over 81,500' from the people of the
county.
By employing more help in the treas -
,urer’s office than is necessary and more
than was employed under a republican
administration, they are wrongfully
spending the people’s money.
By employing more help in the clerk’s
office than is necessary and more than
employed under a republican
administration, they are robbing the
tax payers.
By allowing the sheriff two deputies
when he should do all of the work him
self, they are heaping additional burdens
upon the public.
By recklessly plunging the county into
ill-advised and losing litigation that are
increasing taxes.
Employing John Morrow for a year at
83.50 per day as assistant expert, which
was clearly a violation of our statute.
By calling a grand jury last fall they
heaped thousands of dollars of addi
tional debt upon the county, and the
benefits derived were absolutely nothing.
Being the plurality party they are re
sponsible for the continuance of the
supervisor system, which costs the
county over 850,000 more every year
than that of the commissioner.
Before election Joss Mullen promised
that all the help ho would ask would be
one deputy and one clerk. Therefore,
all the help he employs above that num
ber is a steal, according to the words of
his own mouth.
Awarding the contract for publishing
the proceedings to both the Sun and the
Independent is a steal that will amount
1 to considerable.
