IRRIGATION BOARD TO MEET. ,
Will Consider Questions of Importance
. to' the Farmers.
Lincoln , Jan. 27. The state board
of Irrigation will meet February M
for the purpose of determining the re
spective merits of applications 70S
and 700 , the former being that of the
secretary of the Interior for the Ne
braska end of the Pathfinder canal
project , and the latter , the Union ca
nal project , backed by H. G. Leavitt ,
the Ames beet sugar magnate. The
secretary will not rule as is the cus
tom , leaving the matter for his supe
rior oillcers. Leavitt Is expected to
appeal in an event of an adverse de
cision.
The question involved arises ffrom
the tact that the llrat filing of the
government did not cover the terri
tory to be watered In detail as ro-
'quired ' by the statutes , and on that
technicality Leavitt bases his claims
to priority , the government having
Hied nn amended application after that
of the sugar magnate.
lx > cal parties Interested "in the west
ern Irrigation project believe that the
president bus finally refused the request
quest of Leavitt that the government
allow private enterprise to carry out
a portion or all of the Pathfinder en
torprlso. The contract for some of
the rock work has already boon let
indicating , It Is believed , the Inten
tlon of the government to procee (
without delay.
