DETAILS
OF THE IRRIGATION
POLICY.
The provisions of the new irrigation
law are totally misapprehended by those
who say that, under its operations, the
national treasury will be involved in
heavy expenditures. One member of
congress declared when the measure was
pending that it was a "most insolent
attempt at larceny" and "provided for
the giving away of an empire in order
that private property may be made val
uable"; also, that the bill embraced a
proposition to "spend vast millions of
dollars in order that the present owners
in the state of Wyoming and in other
states shall have their lands reclaimed at
public charge." A more surprising dis
play of ignorance has never been made
in congress. Examined in the light of
facts the "vast millions" diminish into
the $200,000 a year received from the
sales of public lands in the arid and
semiarid regions, and the lands irrigated
are to be sold at a price that will keep
the national irrigation fund intact.
Actual settlers only, under the home
stead law, can buy the lands, and they
must live on the land five years before
they can get title. Each settler pays
back to the government, in ten equal
annual installments, his proportion of
the cost of the irrigation works. An
actual settler, meeting his installments
regularly, can get water for not more
than 160 acres. Water rights to nonres
ident owners of large tracts are expressly
forbidden.
On examination it is found that the
"vast millions" from the national govern
ment for irrigation are limited to the
$2,500,000 a year derived from the sales
of the lands in the arid states and terri
tories themselves, and that the settler
pays back the cost of irrigation works.
Consequently, the irrigation fund accu
mulates at the annual rate of $200,000.
In ten years the fund would amount to
$25,000,000, all invested in the irrigation
of otherwise waste lands, and perpetually
flowing back for fresh works through the
installments paid by settlers. The
money does its work and returns. Prac
tically, the irrigation fund ia never
finally spent, but grows larger, according
to the sales of arid lands, year by year.
A congressman who calls such an opera
tion "larceny" and a squandering of
"vast millions" shows an inability to
grasp a simple matter, or a haste and
heat calculated to impair public use
fulness. Many eastern members voted for the
law and some spoke for it as a policy
likely to help the farmers of the east as
much as those of the west. That view of
the case is plainly correct. Eastern
farmers hare an excellent market at
their doors among the large and ever
growing manufacturing population. Set
tlers on the irrigated lands will be pur
chasers of manufactured articles. Mil
lions of eastern men have become west
ern settlers and pioneers. The irrigated
lands, of course, will be open to them on
equal terms. Surplus immigration will
find opportunities on lands now useless
for lack of water. Every new farm
opened is a gain to the whole country.
Irrigation will be a national safety-valve
in case of drought. The new law will be
administered by the secretary of the
interior through the geological survey,
and the chief of the hydrographic bureau
will have the immediate direction of the
work. It will be under the general
supervision of the government, and car
ried forward by its scientific representa
tives. The new irrigation law is carefully
drawn on conservative financial lines
and promises to be highly beneficent to
the whole country. St Louis Globe
Democrat. The following sketch of the life of
Hon. John H. Mickey, the republican
candidate for governor, taken from our
history of Nebraska compiled in 1883, is
the story of a very busy man who has
come to prominence by his success as
one who has proven himself to be an
excellent business manager. All that
be has, has been accumulated in Ne
braska and the voters will be safe in
trusting the affairs of the state in the
custody of a man who has proven him
self so worthy in the management of
his own private affairs:
"Hon. John H. Mickey, banker, Osce
ola and Stromsburg, senior member of
the firm of Mickey. Nance A Morrill,
came to Nebraska in September, 1868,
and took up a homestead on section 2,
town 13, range 1 west, Hackberry pre
cinct In the winter of 1869 he moved
out and settled on the claim, Mr. Mickey
being one of the very first settlers ia the
precinct; also served as first school
treasurer of the precinct In 1870 he
was elected county treasurer of Polk
county, holding the office at his resi
dence until 1872. Upon the locating of
the county seat at Osceola, he moved to
the village, holding that office for ten
years, rnor to trie organization of the
county he was appointed assessor of
Polk county, by the board of commis
sioners of Butler county. In 1879 he
opened their present bank which was
operated under his own name until 1881,
wnen roe aoove arm was incorporated.
He was elected to the legislature in the
fall of 1880, from the Thirty-fifth Assem
bly district; was one of the original
members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church society of Osceola precinct; was
also one of the instigators of the Polk
County Agricultural Society, and was
their first treasurer. He enlisted in the
late war of the rebellion, in Des Moines
county, Iowa, August, 1863; in company
D, Eighth Iowa Volunteer Cavalry, and
served antn the close of the war; ia now
a member of the G. A. R, and is a char
ter member of the of J. F. Reynolds
Post, Number 26. He erected the first
frame house in Polk county."

Saturday's ball game between Co
lumbus and Springfield attracted a small
crowd to the park as the afternoon was
extremely warm. All who went how
ever, saw a good game barring a few
errors. The main feature was an excel
lent stop of a very hot grass splitter by
short stop Jones. Our boys are a little
too much for Springfield and sent them
home without a game to their credit
Columbus winning the three games of
the series hands down, one of them being
a shut out The main trouble with the
visitors seemed to be their inability to
connect with the ball at the proper time
as they had the bases filled at two differ
ent times Saturday and a homer would
have tied the game, but they did nothing
but pound the air and went down to
defeat 8core Columbus 5, Springfield
3; umpire, MoFayden.
The following is parts of a letter
written to the'fsmily of F. Brodfuehrer
from Mrs. John Staab who with her hus
band and family and her brother, George
Morris, left here several months ago for
Red Deer, Alberta, Canada: "We are
well pleased with the country, find it a
muoh better place for poor people than
Nebraska. We have had lots of rain
this spring which prevented some crops
from being put in. Prospects are good
for crops. Hay is fine and abundant
Cattle do well; we milk eleven cows.
Have sold cream two weeks and think
we will have $4 or $5 a week. Will has
been breaking some and gets $3 per acre.
Expect to begin making hay soon.
Haven't been homesick a minute since
we got here. We have fine church priv
ileges. This country has the best of
laws and rigidly enforced. George is in
Nebraska and Iowa buying two car loads
of stock and implements, and will be
here soon. Mother will come with him.
I tell you we are all so happy and con
tented. I have taken more comfort here
than in all the rest of my life together.
We are two and a half miles from a fine
little town."
During the storm Sunday lightning
got quite busy for a few moments just
before it began to rain, which was a little
alter 11 o'clock. Parties walking on west
Thirteenth street could hear plainly the
electricity running down the guy wires
on the telephone poles. The only dam
age to be seen after the storm passed was
at the north end of the building occupied
by Martyn, Evans, Geer A Hansen as an
office on Nebraska Avenue. A brick
chimney was hit by the bolt and knocked
into smithereens, brick and mortar being
scattered in all directions. The elec
tricity left the chimney and ran down the
corners of the house, and one could see
where the heat had burned the boards in
many places. At the rear door there is
a screen out of the frame of which the
bolt knocked a piece of the frame near
the ground. Just before the stroke Mr.
M. Kuntzelman had passed in through
the screen door and the shock overcame
him; ho felt the effects of it for more
than an hour. Two small boys, one the
son of Charles Whaley, the other a son
of Dr. Slater were knocked down in front
of Boyd's tin shop but were not injured.
Many in the near vicinity felt the effects
of the stroke. There must be something

city that' is attractive for the lightning
