After McCoolf , the Sidney convention.
After Sidney , a great mass meeting at Lin
coln to give n ringing endorsement to the hill
to bo drafted for presentation to the legisla
ture.
ture.That is ttio programme for the Immediate
future , ns outlined by the splendid gathering
ut WcCook during the past week. Every
body recognizes that n comprehensive state
law must bo the basis of a Kcncral system of
Irrigation In Nobraskn-that capital will not
embark In an effort to develop the
western half of the stnto unless
It can bo assured that Justice will bo Riiar-
nntecd to nil interested parties , nnd that
canals will bo constructed nnd the water
supply jrunnled under the supervision of n ,
competent stnto engineer. The McCoolc con
vention undoubtedly spolto the sentiment of
the state when It emphatically declared in
favor of n state engineer , the division of the
atiUo Int.o water districts , und the preparation -
tion of drainage maps ni the basis for intelli
gent Investment and development.
Nothing that could bo written nt this
time would ho of such interest
and importance to the movement
as n , study of the convention at McCoolf. It
represented a district of largo nron , which has
iicou settled mostly by homesteaders and Is
now dotted witb promising towns. When It
Wns thrown open to settlement nobody
flrcnmqil that Irrigation was necessary or de
sirable. To say so amounted to a slander.
But experience has taught the people that ir
rigation is necessary. Agitation and discus
sion have brought them to believe that that
Is a fortunate country which has opportuni
ties of Irrigation and proceeds to utilize them.
The fact is beginning to bo scon
that out of the ashes of last year's
devastated Holds there may arise a greater
prosperity aim n nobler civilization than ex
ists today In any section which depends upon
the rainfall for the basis of its agriculture.
Inventors and manufacturers have har
nessed steam and electricity and made them
the docile servants of their will. Now the
western fnrmor proposes to domesticate the
water supply nnU lead U in n thousand
threads of silver over his arid acres. What
other path of development Is open to Ne
braska ? She hna neither mines nor
forests. Her natural wealth Is n
rich soil and a superb climnto. To make the
most of these is the only road to prosperity.
And nt least ono-half of the state Is now en
gaged In un effort to accomplish this on n
grand scale.
It was in this spirit that the farmers nnd
business men of ton southwestern counties
aiRomblcd in convention at McCooli. The
speeches nnd proceedings nro therefore of the
greatest moment.
i. .ninm : COCIMUN ANI > OOVCKNOK
.Tmlgo .1. K. Cochran of the Eleventh
Judicial district , had evidently closely
studied the relation of the general govern
ment to Irrlt ntlon enterprises In tha west.
IIo stated that ho had had a considerable
correspondence with senators and members
of congress , nud that his latest advices were
to the effect that the government would ren
der no assistance , at least for a generation.
In a very vigorous speech ho denied the
theory tliat the government had no power to
nut In this matter.
IIo reviewed the history of legislation slnco
l&SS and said that In that tlmo congress had
appropriated multiplied millions to make thu
farms of central nnd southern states lit for
agriculture. IIo cited particularly the cases
of Ohio , Michigan , AVlscons'ln , Illinois niu
Indiana , which in that tlmo had rccclvci
1,500,000 acres to assist in building canals to
drain tholr land. IIo also quoted similar in
stances In regard to swamplands In the sou tl
and analyzed the river nnd harbor
bill , recently passed , ns another example
that congress had both tbo power and dis
position to assist in sucli works of Interim
Improvement. "If the government for flftj
years past has done this , " said Judge Coch
ran , ' 'It has power to help to make the nrii
regions of the west flt for babltntlon and pu
them iu a position to Increase the nation n
wealth. " The convention In its resolution :
urged congress to turn over the arid public
lands to Iho several states for irrigation pur
poses and on the second day of Its session do
clnred in favor of n direct appropriation.
Hon. Hobort W. Furnas , nlonoof the nici
who have enjoyed the highest honor la tbi
gift of Nebraska , continues to bo a promlnen
llguro in nil movements aiming to dcvoloj
her resources and increase the prosperity o
lor people. The warm greeting which ho ro
Jolved in MoCook showed 'that ho wns stil
one of tha best loved , as well a.
ono of the most conspicuously use
ful citizens of the state , In his Inter
ostlng address lie referred to the well kuowi
fact that ho favored irrigation moro thar
thirty years ngo , when it was not safe tc
lutlmntu that such a thing was necessary
IIo rejoiced that tbo tlmo had coma when th
doctrine fell on willing can. IIo sntd tha
western Nebraska had a line poll and plenty o
waterif it Is looked up nnd properly cared for
IIo alluded to the need of legislation wide
would glvo proper assurance to Investors 1
regard to the management of the wntc
supply. IIo nlso descrlbell his observation
in California when he was acting for the government
ornmont , and gave some rather stnrtlin
figures of crops now raised In that state In
volley that wns desolate until brought undo
Irrigation. In closing , the governor urgontl.
suggested the need of a mass convention n
Lincoln , to Impress the loglslaturo with th
slio nnd Importance of the movomont.
H IMIOKKWOU 1IICICH1 U'CU ) Sl'BKCir ,
There li one qttlot and scholarly man , of om
Incut scientific attainments , who has for flv
years been probing the soil , sampling th
water nnd ascertaining Its extent , in wester
Nebraska. This Is Professor Lewis K. Hick
of the geological department In the state un
vcrslty. During that period ho has becu urg
ing that irrigation was desirable , but ha
found the people unwilling to listen to his ni
gumonts. His appearance at the McCoo
convention , however , was a signal for heart
applause , and both farmers and business me
were ready to listen with eager cars to a sc
cullllc explanation of their resources.
VSavo the water you have nud make th
most of It , " wns the text of his address. II
urged the people to first make the most o
the water that Is In sight , assuring them thn
they would llnd an abundant supply uudct
ground when they needed It. IIo had care
lully examined the He pub ! lean rlvor , both wit
reference/ its surface and its underflow
IIo stated that the surface water In tha
river was usually suftlclont to Irtltrato 100,00
u-res , wbllo the uudcrflbw could bo nmdo t
furnish water for at least ono million more
IIo answered ono question about whlc
there had been many anxious cnquli
' Ira , by stating that thcro is uo d
vide iu thu valley of the Kopubllcan o
tbo Frenchman which was not susceptible o
irrigation if the streams were tnppou at th
right place. Ho also described what coul
> o onslly done in Iho vnlloy of tlmo rivers.
Conflrilng himself closely M lib text , 01 to
10 wisdom of making the incut of every drop
f surface water , ho explained the plan of
onstructlng storflK'o Imtns or reservoirs to
retain the water ilurlnj ? the months when It
YOUJ ! not bo needed for Irrigation , llostntcd
int very many cnnons or ravines , having
largo drnlniiKO area , could nt slight cost bo
nmmcd up nnd miulo very useful M stornRO
aslns. These would be illtod by the
ccatlonnl. heavy rain , the melting snow ,
r natural springs. If used in this way n
ast nmount of water would ho saved which
ow runs almost entirely to waste.
In connection with this branch of the sub-
cot ho explained how this system , available
it slight cost to many farmers , could bo made
o do ( ; oed service In n double sense. In tbo
rat placa the presence of n sheet of water
n such n basin would greatly enrich the soil
iy the process of slltlujf. similar to that In
ho valley of the Nile. Such a basin would
ho wonderfully productive , and if It were an
Ikullsoil the water would euro Hand n rich
011 gradually lie hullt up. Furthermore , tbo
vntcr which had already performed thli uso-
ul function could bo drawn off by a simple
ilau of ( tltchns , and turned upon the arid
crcs , Ho cautioned formers , however ,
gainst ninkltif ? the mistake of trying to dam
p every draw without regard to Its supply
f water.
The professor gave nn interesting dcscrlp-
Ion of ancient hrlgatlon on the Nile. Ho
luted that under such a system ns existed
hero n farmer would make more money off a
Ingle acre thun on an entire section under
> rescnt conditions In southwestern Nebraska.
Io then dwelt upon the difference between
ntenslvo farming an practiced in Kurojxs , nnd
compared h with the extensive fnnniuf of the
vest.
V unique feature of his address was
ils statement of the effect of irrigation
on the social llfo of the people.
iVhcii n farmer begins to realise the
value of water and to cultivate a
small number of acres Intensely , rather
han a large number promiscuously , hU acres
: ikoon n cleaner and neater appearance. lie
cannot allow the common weeds , with voracious
cious appetite , to eat up the precious mols-
urawith which ho fertilizes his ground. The
result Is a model furin , so for as the land Is
concerned. Following this , as a natural conSequence -
Sequence , ho wants a better barn , a hotter
louse , more of the comforts of llfo for him
self and family. His Increased profits enable
: ilm to have thcso tlilims , and the result has
been , wherever Irrigation has been success
fully Introduced , that social llfo has gained
? rcnt deal and that the farmers as a class
mvo risen In the scale of civilization.
Another practical suggestion In the profes
sor's ud dross related to the treatment of the
soil la a manner tlmt would make the rainfall
most beneficial. Ho stated that a largo portion
tion of the natural rainfall goes to waste because -
cause the hard prairie sod Is net broken , and
thut when It Is the plow does not go deep
enough. The soil should bo plowed two feet
deep so tlmt It would absorb and hold
trio moisture nnd bo less husceptlblo to the
action of the sun. Ho strongly advised the
convention that It could not dcpond on the
government to develop Nebraska , but It must
rely on the energy of Its own people and the
attractions which Jt can hold out to Invest
ors.
ors.Tho great Importance of Prof. Hicks' '
address lies in the 'fact that
ho has recently Investigated the
soil nnd water supply of south
western Nebraska under the auspices of the
general government. Ho has demonstrated
by scientific methods that the section of the
state which suffered most from the recent
drouth may be made to blossom Into nssurcd
prosperity by Irrigation.
Iir. TIIK TALK OF \ FIIAOTICAL MAX.
The members of the convention enjoyed a
rare treat In the speech of Mr. B. F. Dab-
cock of Garden City , Kas , Ho is not only
skilled in engineering , but the principal own
er of the largest Irrigation enterprises In Kan
sas. IIo Is , moreover , a much traveled nnd
cultivated gentleman , and his speech was
therefore interesting from several stand
points.
Ho stated that irrigation Is not only the
most practical question in Nebraska , but also
the most Interesting agricultural problem In
all parts of the world. From a personal
knowledge of nil the states of the union , nml
most of the countries of Europetio could tes
tify tlmt the most profitable farming In the
world was done by moans of Irrigation. This
was the fact becausoundor natural conditions
agriculture is not n certainty. Under Irriga
tion it is nn absolute certainty , because you
control ttio water that maltua your
crop. Ho suggested that when the
enterprise was tlnnlly under way In Nebraska
it would bo well to bring practical farmers
from Colorado , Utah and other sections
where Irrigation Is practiced , to teach the
best method of applying it. Ho stated that
the farmer possessing forty ncrcs under a
good system of Irrigation U wealthier than
the farmer with 10U acres , dependent on
natural rainfall.
Ono feature of Mr. Daboock's address ,
which will interest the owners of realty , was
his statement of the effect of Irrigation on the
vnhjo of lands. Ho sntd that ho once ad
dressed letters to' the county clerks of Colorado
rado , Wyoming , Utah and California , asking
them to state the value of farmland before
irrigatioa wus introduced , and afterwards.
Averaging the results of his Inquiries , he
found that hinds hi these states had lucreasod
from live to eight tlinos in value. The orig
inal vnluo of the land was the government
prlco , 81.25 an aero. Aftcrlrrigatlon , districts
remote from largo cities wore worth from $23
to $50 an acre , whllo in the vicinity
of Denver they were worth from $100 tc
§ 150 an acre , nnd In parts of California II
was quoted ns high as $350 an aero. Ho pro
dieted that if the time over comes whoa any
county can show 100,000 , acres under irriga
tion it would bo the richest county in Nebraska
braska , excepting only Douglas and Lao
caster.
IIo dwelt also upon the vast Importance tc
the cities in the state of a prosperous sur
rounding country. If the farmer * are nol
making money nnd doing thulr share to iu
crooso the wealth of the country , It Is useless
to hope for the growth of largo cities nnd
towns. For this reason the success of the
present movement Is not loss Important tc
the residents of citlos and towns than to tin
farmers themselves. They are all in the sami
boat and must stand or fall together.
Having had laryo experience In operating
upon the Arkansas river in Kansas , ho couli
testify tlmt rivers of the same character ii :
Nebraska were capable of supplying un
bounded facilities for Irrigation. Ho is interested
torosted In the Culbortson ditch , and expect :
to see it In practical operation this spring.
la private conversation Mr. Hnbcock sail
that ho had no doubt that ample private cap
it l would How In If the laws wore made tc
conform to the best features of the Coloraih
unit Wyoming statutes. As n citizen of Kan

from that state attend the mass conventlot

The resolutions , which have been printed
In full in Tim BKE , represent tbo programme
of the movement. The western part of tbo
state Is solid for a state irrigation englncor ,
for the division of the state Into water dis
tricts , and the preparation of a complete sys
tem of maps , showing the water , sheds nud

have been secured tbo movement must under

UcpendH (111,0,11 , Artlllclal
i Hupply.
No other subject of equal Importance to tho.
west with Irrigation Is likely to bo considered
in the present session of congress or the Kan
sas legislature , declares the Topokn Capital.
Upon this problem of irrigation the future of
the western portion of Kim BUS Is almost en
tirely dependent , nnd the chance ? of Its solu
tion In the near future are rendered favora
ble by the general Interest , both scientific nnd
.popular . , taken In the subject. Kansas can
not afford to see her western ph\tns \ depopu
lated because of drouth whllo it Is possible by
irrigation to make Hint section a. marvel of
productiveness. The Capital Is cordially In
sympathy with the appiui'jhlug convention
called to discuss this topic , and wo further *
nioro believe that the time has arrived for
thu calling of an interstate convention for the
iiiiio purpose.
The results of such a convention may bo
appreciated by a glance at the deep harbor
work now about to bogln at , Galvostoii , duo
to the demands of western states set forth In
1889 nt the fopcka convention. The west
has reached the position where nor demands
are heard and heeded nt Washington. The
milted petitions of ICnnsaa , Colorado , No-
braskn , the Unkotaa , Wyoming , Texas ,
Oklahoma nud the Indian territory would
sccuro prompt action lit the hands of con
gress ; und Kunsas , by reason of her promi
nence ns a leader in the now west nnd of her
advanced position ns an advocate ofirrig.i- '
tlon , is the proper state to Issue the call for
thu convention. la the Judgment nf the
Capital , the time has come for the Issue of
thu call.
In endorsing these views the Lincoln Jour
nal makes those observations ! Nebraska
will necJ less Irrigation probably than any
of the states to the south and west , but our
people can afford to expend n , great deal of
time nnd money to encourage the construc
tion of comprehensive irrigation systems In
Kansas , Colorado , Texns and New Mexico
nnd the Indian territory.V hen the aridity
of the southwestern plains is conquered ttio
destructive hot winds will no longer harass
the settlers la tbo western counties. Ne
braska will heartily Join la the movement for
nn Interstate Irrigation convention.
From a bulletin Just Issued by the Los An

Numerous petitions to the legislature are
being circulated in Chappell asking the state
to do something for western Nebraska in the
matter of irrigation. If the state would take
bold of this enterprise it would give the people
ple employment nnd there would bo no
further need of shipping charity goods to this
county , says a correspondent. Irrigation
would bo the moans of adding several million
of dollars worth of property to the stato. It
would only bo n short tlmo before the state
would got its money back In the way of In
crease of tux ,
Douol county lias a solid traot of hnd
20x1)0 ) miles iu extent and comprises nearly
four hundred thousand acres of the finest land
and richest soil in Nebraska , Under irriga
tion it is capable of the highest state of culti
vation and immense crops of every variety
could bo raised , nnd instead of the state getting -
ting n tax on land assessed nt $3 per new It
would receive a revenue from land valued at
$10 or ? 50. Farmers hnvo trlod to farm there
for the last five years nnd have worn away
that many years of tholr life without realiz
ing from their labors the stern necessities of
life. All this could bo obviated by the state
taking hold of the matter and causing ditches
to bo taken from the North Platte river that
would cause tbo water to bo spread over tbo

A party of civil engineers nnd surveyors of

company outfitted at Alouquerquo , N. M. ,
and left to establish the source of the big
ditch and to locate a dam for nn Immense
reservoir. They wcro Joined at Bcrnallllo
by Mr. Anderson , a hydraulic engineer from
Uonvcr , Colo. , and then sot out for the mouth
or the Santa Ana rlvor.
They will follow up the stream for about
fifteen miles to a very high but narrow can
yon. This will bo dammed and from horc
the source of the ditch to irrigate millions of
acres , now arid , will commence. Colonel I * .

In what was regarded as a portion of the

was called on the mnpsof fifty years ngo ,
thcro nro now approximately 1,500,000 ncres

valued at $12,500,000 ; 10,000 inltoa of main
Irrigating canals , nnd 1,500,000 , neros more

Denver News ,
Hut how about the country which Hos be
yond the point wticro Irrigation with present
facilities can ho carried ! What of the so-
called rain belt of eastern Colorado ) I that
section agriculture has been attempted with
out Irrigation nnd the result has not been en-
oournglug. Whllo it maybe possible In
occasional seasons to ralso a crop ,
the experience of live or six years
has shown that the average rainfall Is Insuf
ficient for crop purposes. The difference between -
tweon farming with irrigation and farming
without It in Colorado Is shown by the differ
ence In the two communities the former has
produced over ? 10,000.000 and has an abund
ance ; the latter Is suffering from widespread
destitution nnd want. Kvidcntly some means
must bo devised to supply water for the east
ern portion of the stnto , nnd the work is on o
which should ongaso the attention of tbo fed
eral government which Has sold these arid
lands to the sottlcrs. As the rains are not to
bo depended on , artesian wells or the over
flow of the streams mint bo resorted to , nnd
thu state legislature should direct the atten
tion of the national government to the fact.

tle upon land which Is not susceptible of ar
tificial irrigation. With n good ditch and n
plentiful supply of water. Iris crop will como
if properly cultivated anil cared for with a
certainty which Is unknown In countries
which dupend on the natural rainfall , but
without these necessities the farmer will find
his lot anything but a happy ono and his
chances for obtaining a livelihood from the
soil poor indeed. Under the ditches In the
Arkansas and San Luis valleys thcro nro
thousands of acres of land wlilim can bu irri

farmers should settle , and tuo return for
their labor will bo certain and abundant.
Holyoke , Colo. , Ilcrakl : The Champion
Valley water power and irrigation company
has made a proposition to put in eighteen
milus of Irrigation ditch iu Champion pro

precinct , bonds. The water is to bo taken
from the Frenchman river , and It is claimed
that the proposed ditch will Irrigate nt least
7,000 , ncres of land. If the people just over
tuo state line in Nobroska bavo so much faith
in tbo water supply of the Frenchman , It cer
tainly would bo u wise inovo on tbo part of
the citizens of Phillips county to make a thor
ough Investigation us to the amount of water
that coulu bo obtained from tbo rivers in this
county. If the river furnishes water enough
in Chase county to irrigate on the scnlo that
is proposed , there is certainly no good reason
why sulllcieut water cannot be obtained from
the rivoiin this county to successfully irri
gate on a more limited scalo. Why not iu-

Notes.
A revolution will soon take place In Uni
form rank affairs nmoni ? the divisions of
this city , which will result in the Omaha reg
iment being reduced to a b.ittnlloa ,
Ithns been painfully evident for the post
two years that If something extraordinary
wnsuotdono to prevent It , the divisions of
the Omaha regiment , with the exception of
Omaha division No. 12 , would dlsappsar en
tirely.
Several efforts were made to Induce the
divisions to consolidate and form two or
three good divisions from the nctlvo members
of the rank , but these efforts were unsuccess
ful.
Matters went on this way , the divisions ,
with the notnblo exception of Omaha Xo , 12 ,
rapidly deteriorating but still retaining tholr
charters.
Some of the nctivo members oatno to the
conclusion that heroic measures were neces
sary nnd n mass meeting of the SlrKnliihU )
of the Omaha regiment was culled. Tlio
meeting was held in the 1'ythlan hull in the
1'axton block , niul was attended by members
of the various divisions In the city. The
matter was thoroughly discussed , ana many
of the members spolto favorably of the prop
osition to consolidate the weaker divisions ,
but no action wns taken.
Shortly nftownrds another meeting was
held , at which It wns ngreod that Lily , Laun-
celot , Myrtle nnd Douglas divisions wore to
consolidate and form two divisions. In or.lor
to decide which two of UIOMO should relin
quish their charters four slips were placed
in a hat , each containing a name of ono of
Uicso divisions. These were drawn , and it
foil to thu lot of Lily and Luuncolot to throw
up the sponge.
Subsequently tbo members of Lily division
claimed Unit they wcro not represented at
tbo meeting nt which those proceedings were
had and they refused to lie down and dlo.
Instead , they went to South Omaha and
made a proposition to tbo lodge there to re
ceive about thirty members of the lodge , who
wcro desirous of forming a divisionund reor
ganize Lily division , allowing South Omaha
members to elect the ofllcers.
This proposition was favorably received by
the South Omaha Knights as It would rcllovu
tin-in from thu payment of a charter fee. The
matter was referred to a committee of tbo
South Omaha Knights which reported favor-
ibly on the proposal und was authorized to
nvcstigato the cost of uniforms , etc.
As the matter now stands there are six di-
isions In the city , namely , Omaha Black
3nilo ; , Trojan , Myrtle , Douglas and Lily. All
of the divisions will elect olllccrs during the
coming month and a general revival of inter
est Is looked for.

versary of Nathan Whitney , the oldest living

tenarian. Nathan Whitney was made a
member when ho was twenty-two years of

sovonty-elght years. Ho wns ono of the char
ter members of the chapter which boars his

Is that tins chapter has always held ltd regu
lar convocations on the Thursday of each

last week foil , queerly enough , upon ho
100th birthday anniversary of Mr. Whitney.
Another Interesting coincidence l.i that the
