Progress that Is being made toward a realization of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence tidewater project, was out lined in a short talk by Victor B. Smith, managing editor of The Omaha Bee. Mr. Smith urged members of th>> association, which, on two occa sions has endorsed the project to "en list and battle to put the thing over.” Smith Is Optimisin'. Although New York interests have been rather sucessful in fighting the waterway project, a tendency in Wash ington to lend a more attentive ear to demands of the west, gives en couragement to those supporting it, Mr. Smith said. lie predicted that western Canadian provinces will in the near future force the 'Canadian Jtarliuinent to take favorable action on the proposed water route. It was pointed out in the discussion which followed Mr. Smith's talk, that ihe waterway, when completed, will not only save time and transportation enlarges for Nebraska, interests, hut will be a remedy for car shortages which have in the past embarrassed grain shippers of the state.

McConaughy of Holdrege, ! speaking on the proposed irrigation ! and power project which is being fos tered by tlm Central Nebraska Sup plometal Water association, explained that the plan calls for the building of two dams in the Plum Creek val lcy; one four miles north of Elvvood, and the other 12 miles down the val ley.

It also would generate power to fur nish light, power and heat for 12 counties, according to Mr. McOon ntiglty, who said the moisture furnish ed the land would be cuulvalent to 3'i inches of rainfall, and would assure the fertility of the soil. The association endorsed the proj ect. .1. W. Steinhart of Nebraska City was made chairman of a commit tee to present the plan to the state legislature. In an informal discussion. President A. K. Kinney declared that if he were picking a man for general manager of bis business, he would select one who had taken a classical course, rather than a technical one at the universi ty.
