The irrigation bill having become a law , interest centers iuthe ] plan of using the appropriation by the secretary of the uterior. A Washington correspondent understands that the work which the epartment 1ms had under consideration or a great many years will be followed us ! eel ypracticnble.A largo part of it will ouio under the direction of the bureau I geological survey , that department mving had chnrgo of the work iu the pnst. Chief F. H. Newell , of the bu- eau of hydrography who has made the ubject of irrigation his lifo study , is now laying plans for advancing his , vork. Ho was asked what \vas con- emulated in Nebraska and stated that lie had been studying conditions here 'or some time , that some work has already been done hero ami will bo pushed more rapidly from this time on , now that funds were at their disposal. 'The most important phase of the question in Nebraska , " said Mr. New ell , "is the developing of water power 'or the city of Omaha. This is n prob- em" which I have been trying to solve for some time. Wo have had men in the field measuring the Loup and Platt'e rivers iu the south of the state , and tlio Elkhoru river in the north , just' above Scanton. Wo are also engaged in tlio work of measuring the Niobrara river near Valentine , the Platte river at Chad- ron , the north fork of the Loup mt St. Paul and the Platte rivorat NorthPlatte an'dGering. "We will continue these measurements with a view of seem ing power and'also for irrigation pur < poses. Mr. Newell favors artesian wells for ir- i-igaiou. This experiment has been tried in Colorado during the past year and it has been demonstrated that artesian ir rigntion is cheaper than "in water stor age and gravity distribution. Water was pumped to irrigate Colorado farms at the cost of about $2 Jpor acre for the entire yaer. Ho expects to experiment to see how deep they will go iu western Nebraska to secure artesian water for the purpose. The building of reservoirs and dams will probably bo by contract , but tills will not be undertaken for some time as the work of preliminary survey ing will take some time and will have to be completed before the next stop is taken.
