It took hours to enlarge the hole
so men could go through it, hours
more to take out the muck ana tne

so it would be safe.
Then it was necessary to take out
all the rotten timbers in the 4,200
entrance. They were pulled Into tne

Attorney General Confers
on Irrigation Problems
Lincoln, Sept. 18. (Special.)-
Attorney General Clarence A. Davis
met with Colorado commissioners
who were appointed to confer with
overstates in regard to an agree
ment on the use of water from in
terstate streams. This has been a
subject of litigation in federal courts
for many years. Mr. Davis expects
to receive a written agreenietn from
the Colorado commission within a
short time. If it is satisfactory to
himself and Governor McKelvie it
will be submitted to the next legisla
ture for action.
With the execption of a water
right held by the Western Irrigation
diMrict of Deuel and Keith counties
and possibly one other, Colorado wa
ter users hold rights prior to those
held by Nebraskans. The Colorado
commissioners indicated that they
were willing to permit Nebraska wa
ter uers to build v'rvoir 'n Colo
rado or to eteti 'ervoirs already
built, to allow Nebraskans to poli-
th lower end of the river to make
sure tlut N'elrakans get water to
which they are entitled, and to In
Nebraskans put in outlet ditches in
Colorado when necessary to water

Kr-pulilicmi State Committee
Chairman Drandi as Fale
Democratic Nominee'a
StatemrnL
Lincoln, Sept. 8 (Special.)
Judge ' U. Terry, chairman of the
republican state committee, issued I
statement today in which he flatly
denied the statement credited to the
democratic nominee fur governor in
which it was alleged that state office
holders had been assessed S per rent
on their net year's salary.
Judge Terry's statement in full
follows:
"Senator L'andall in a speech at
Kearney said: 'I have made no
promises to the appointees oi the
present governor, nor to any other
peroii that would prevent me, in the
event of my election, to select the
men or women who arc best qualified.'
In a Lincoln publication the
democratic candidate lor vovernor is
quoted as saying:
It nuy be that Mr. Kandall has
not given a specific promise to re.
appoint the code secretaries, but the
republican state committee has al
ready assessed the state olhceholdcrs
5 per cent on their next year's sal-
rirs aim u is nam to see now Air,
Kamuil can net out of annointmit
them when they are contributinir in
this manner to his campaign fund. If
lie doesn t appoint them, they will
have good grounds to bring action
against him for obtaining money un
der false pretenses.
Ihe statement that anyone has
been assessed by the republican
committee is untrue. Candidates on
Ihe republican ticket have been re
quested to contribute 5 per cent of
their first year's salary to assist in
conducting the campaign. Neither
Governor McKelvie, nor any of his
appointees, have been solicited to
contribute, nor have they contributed
a single cent to the republican cam
paign fund.
"This statement of the democratic
candidate has no more foundation in
fact than his statement that he would
save the taxpayer 20 cents on every
dollar, if elected governor, although
the facts are that only 9 cents of the
taxpayers' dollar is used for state
purposes,
' "Apparently the democratic candi
date concedes Senator Kandall's elec
tion as governor because he states
that Senator Randall's statement that
he is not pledged to reappoint Mc
Kelvie officials will prove cmbarras-
