Tho announcement LliaL Miss Smith
would sever her connection with the
tin! vcri sty soon, has caused consider
ahlc, comment anions tlie students.
Thcro is a deep feeling of regret that
onn who I nut served m i lung and 1 ai Mi -full
should he dropped from the rolls.
During the twenty years she has act
ed as registrar she has performed tho
duties of that olhco well. I lor work
bus boon of a nnturo Ihut would .uitur
ly subject her to tho criticism of many
of tlioso ith whom sho Iiub cjmo in
contact, Yot there is probablj no per
Hon connected with tho univcrdily who
has more friends than Islie has. The
following eenliment fiotn q student will
probably mdicnlo tho feeling of a laro
majority of those mtere;t3il
"I beliovo a th luaud students and
overy aluuinus in the stnto would sign

On last Friday It W Harbor, after
considerahlo deliberation, appointed
tho senior uromeuado committee.
Of the university social functions
the seniors promenado stanas uerhaps
iirsL and it will he the, earnest en
deavor of the committee to inaKo tho
ovent this year bettor than over.
TI12 uhis or 1.K)2 enjoy tin distinc
tion of bcln,' lirst in tholr undertak
ings and an attompt will bo made
not only to far outstrip all mil
versity dances of the year but to
porpatuate the tradition of. their pre
decessors in such away as to make all
fool that university promenades are
not degenerating.
Tho date has not, as yet, been
delinitoly settled but it will probably
be held about April Itli
In selecting the committeo the
president tried to choose a ropreson-

mouibers ot the committee are:

MR MEADE AT CONVOCATION.
(Continued from pago 1)
havo boon so used t' free use of water
that thorn Is great opposition to any
control by law. Yet, this must come
sooner or later and it ought not to
bo allowed to run until the law must
bo called in to settle disputes. There
must bo an administrative policy
giving perfect" security to farmers.
This is not a simplo matter and has
been much discusser!. For instance,
the IMatte is private property in
Colorado and in Wyoming water
rights arc at tached to the land. What
would Nebraska do ifthis river wore
drained In those states?
Mr Meanc commondeu tho policy
recently adopted by Australia. In
that commonwealth, an interstate
commission determines the percen
tage "f water that belongs to dilTei
ent states and the local laws control
its use. Such a policy, lie thinks,
ought to be adopted in this counry.
Hut, lirst of all, the codltlon of
alTairs ought to be ascertained and
laws looking toward an investiuat ion
ought tOpbe speedilv passed.

Knginoering society Fridaj morning
Th' lecture was not iIIuhI rated on ac
count of tho absence of tho lantern
s'ides which Mr. Moalowas unable to
bring along becuuso of their weight
Mr. Moado lirtt Etckoof tho w oiks of
the Unitid states commission on irri
gation in IOgyptwhero tho vholo Coun
try depends 011 irrigation for iIh crop.
Ho discussed tho annual 1 iso of tho N1I0
un 1 described iho primitivo u.clhods of
irr gation aloi g its ahoros.
'J'be usual method of luising the wa
tor is by moanB of long swoops upon
030 ond of which is a jiigskin water
bucket and on tho 01 hor a weight of
mud and cornstulkh By mouns of ono
I heigtli of bi.v feet whero it is emptied
into a canal and f r m thore i.s raised
anothor six feet by means of u second
aweop and so on until it is finally on top
of tho bank.
ThoBO sweeps aro operated by two
men one to move tho arm and tho other
to dump the bucket. The cost of op
eration by tins method is p.bout S'O cents
per acre.
All tho farms lio along the fhoro oT
tho stroara, one oxamplo quote 1 boing
a farm olovou foot wide and threo quat t
ors of a rnilo long. Tho width of urablo
laud varies from a fow foot to ten or
twolvo miles.
The irrigation laws aro almost all
French, and ono peculiar foaluro iB that
in limo of drouth iho governmont takes
charge of all the irrigating and then
only crops requiring a minimum amount
of water aro irrigated. As rice takes a
groat deal of water it is not irrigated
during thoso seasons. There aro boiiio
places where machinery has boon 111
stalled for irrigating purpores and has
proved very succesofui.
Mr. Moado then showed tho groat oj -portunitios
for using niaehinory for this
purpose In the western stales quoting
examples of its utilization in Hawaii,
and along tho Gulf coast.
Ho concluded Ins lecturo by empha
sizing tho importance ot machinery in
irrigating and tho important part it
would play in tho future.
