HOT GAME TUESDAY Tuesdays game was won in the last half of the ninth inning from Fairbury in one of the swiftest and most sensational games ever played in Southwestern Ne braska After scoring a line of eight big round gooseeggs the locals got onto Pitcher Redmond for two or three safe hits en bunch in the last half of the ninth and scored three times winning by three to two Both pitchers covered their positions ably but the work of Beltzer for McCook was especially fine securing for him the high opinion of all McCookites and giving the visitors an eye opener Tho heroic manner in which the

Lack of funds to mako needed repairs has very much impaired tho usefulness of the McCook irrigation ditch this season Tho numerous breaks in tho ditch in tho first placo shut off all pat rons and tho loss of two spans of tho Driftwood ilume 36 feetlator cut off all servico this side the Driftwood It is to bo regretted that this fine proporty is not placed in condition for the most ef fective service The entire property evi dently needs an overhauling Tho ditch should bo deepened at least cleaned should bo widened to carry more water tho flumes need repairing and recon structionthe Pickens flumo collapsed a year or two since a more substantial dam is needed at tho head of tho ditch at Culbertson Perhaps 5000 is required to mako the ditch -what it should be In this connection The Tribune would say that the demand for water now far exceeds tho capacity and the demand would doubtless keep pace with any in crease in capacity that the ditch com pany might make Tho farmers living along the ditch have long since outgrown any prejudice they may have entertained against irrigation and are most anxious to see tho ditch placed in condition to meet the requirements It is tho opinion of practical irriga tionists patrons of the ditch that 85000 would make the property a paying one to the company and to natrons as well and incidentally to McCook and vicinity It is the fond hope of The Tribune of patrons and of all interested in the sub stantial development of this section that the ditch company will proceed as soon as practicable to place the property in operative condition and that it be main tained up to the highest point of effec tiveness It is a fine property capable of producing great agricultural wealth along its length It is needed It is practical It is worth while
