The nccond day's Bcsnlon of the Interstate
Irrigation congress was called to order nt 9
o'clock yesterday morning. 1'realJent MOSC-J
occupied the chair. Upon motion of Mi
Simmons the convention went Into executive
neislon to take action upon the report of the
committee- resolutions , formulated Wednes
day evening and published In The Dee > es <
terday morning.
The committee report was signed by J. L.
Dristow of Kansas , chairman : L. 0. Carpen
ter of Colorado , secretary ; I ) . A. McAllister
nnd .Major Clarkson of Nebraska , Ira C. Huh-
bell ot Missouri , A. A. Fnisctt of South Da-
hntn , Colonel Uutlcr of Montana , S. M. Knox
of Illinois , ! ' . B. Warren of Wyoming nnd
Luclmi Wells of Iowa.
Some of the delrgatcs wajitrcl encourage
ment of the "artesian well method" Inserted ,
vlileli caused tonslderah > discussion. OtlmM
dlfferrd ns to the plan for appointing a lobby
to go to Washington In behalf ot Irrigation
legislation. After an hour's debate on these
Rilbjccti It was decided to defer final action
on the committee report until 2 o'clock In the
afternoon.
Immediately nfter the executive session
terminated Colonel C. S. Chase of Omaha
occiipli-d the attention of the congress with
an address on "The Duty of tbo Cities of
the I'lalns In the Development of Irrigation "
Charles A. Gregory of New York delivered
n splendid address upon the subject of "Iril-
gatlon and Continental Development , " In
which ho defined HIP word Irrrlg.itlon In all
Its phases. Scientific application ot water
to land was cxhausthely reviewed , In which
ho referred to It as an art which required
diligence to learn. The speaker couh
not linncllo the subject as exhaustively as he
desired In the tlmo allotted , but asked "leavo
to print" In the official proceedings.
Major Clarkson , In behalf of the executive
committee , extended an Invitation to the
delegates to visit the packing houses n
South Omaha at 12 o'clock , which wad ac
ccpted with thanks. At this Juncture Mr
Kr.istns A. Henson of Omaha was called to
the chair for the balance of the mornlnj ,
session.
OF THANKS.
Upon motion of lion. George W. Clemen
of Wichita , the follow ln special resolutions
of tlinnksero unanimously adopted :
llcBolved , Tlmt wo hereby tender to the
city of Omaha our sincere thanks for the
cordial reception we have rccehed at the
hands of the citizens of Omnlia. We deslro
to express onr appreciation of the Commer
cial club , and our admiration of the city of
Omaha. Wo lm\o viewed Omaha with won
der , the magnificence and grandeur of her
stately buildings , the extent and perfec
tion of her railway systems , the vastness
of her trade and manufacturing Industries
the enterprise and progressUe spirit of her
people.
Hcsolvcd , Wo especially appreciate the
enterprise and liberality of the public press
of the city. Wo recognl/o In the city ol
Omaha a mighty power in the development
of the grand civilization of the west , and
our earnest wishes are for her greatest
prosperity in the future and that she may
fully accomplish the great woik she has
already begun.
An address on "Pumping Machinery by
Inlgatlon" by Ira C. llubbell of Kansas
City , was listened to with evident interest.
The convention then took a rcceps until 2
o'clock , the delegates proceeding In a body
to the depot , where they took a train , for
South Omaha. After an Intelc-UIng Inspec
tion of the packing hoiibo industry they re
turned to the convention hall and went into
executive session to take action on the re
port of tlio committee on resolutions.
COMMITTEE'S HRI'OHT ADOPTED.
The afternoon session of the convention
was called to order at 2.30. After some dls-
, cusslon the report of the committee on
resolutions , as previously published In. The
Ilee , was adopted. _
niwood Mead , state engineer ot Wyoming ,
then delivered an address on the "Progress
of Irrigation In Wyoming , " In which he re
viewed the gratifying results of Irrigation
and the excellence of the water laws of thu
rtate. ,
Colonel Hogeland of Lincoln completed the
ntternoon session with a talk upon the
cheapest plans for utilizing the rivers , creeks
und sheet waters of Nebraska , which com
manded general attention. Colonel llogo-
land spoke. In part , as follows :
"Tho convention has not met to consider
the question as to whether the soil of this
state Is less fertile than It was the day that
it was broken by the first farmer who lo
cated on It , but to consider the subject of n
gradual decrease. . In the lalnfall , especially
over the westein part of the state , then to
suggest the most available methods for get
ting at and placing upon the soil the neces
sary supply of water us n substitute for the
rainfall. I have for sevcial ye.irs past been
engaged In experimenting with a series of
pumps and water elevators , efllclent and
simple In construction , and In this matter
I will say to the contention that I have
succeeded beyond my own expectation.
HOW THEY WORK.
"Tho first of these pumps I use Is almost
\\ltliout limit in handling water from ten
gallons up to one ton per second , and
operates on an Incline of forty-five degrees.
The othur one Is a single chain pump or
Dictator and operates in a vertical position.
Doth had been tested , The one working
vertically for rivers , wells , creeks , draws
nnd lakes can bo furnished to any farmer
or gardener at less cost than an ordinary
wind mill. Including the power to operate It.
I have also recently experimented with an
Inclined well or tunnel for reaching the
sheet waters ot the state and ha\o given
considerable tlmo to the Investigation of the
utilization Of our sheet waters for Irrigation.
To convince this contention that my theory
Is not n visionary out' . I will ask my hearers
to go with mo to the Antelope well or
pumping s'atlon on N and Twenty-sixth
streets at Lincoln , and from which the city of
Lincoln receives Its drinking water. I
made a personal examination of that well
nnd learned from the superintendent the
following facts : The well proper Is forty-
fit o feet deep , with a diameter of thlrtv
feet , and Is walled with brick. From the
bottom of this well the engineer drove flvo
tlto-lnch drain pipes seventy foot Into what
wo call sheet water , but which Is In fact
artesian , as the water pours otcr the tops
of these pipes llko the opening out of n
largo umbrella , and the pumps which are
stationed at the bottom of the well rult > e
to the ktaml pipes 1,250,000 gallons of water
otery twenty-four hours. If the pumps
cease operation for a few hours this body
of water rises to within' eight feet of thu
surfuco of the ground ,
"Now this Is a fair sample of tlio great
great body of sheet water underlying the
magnificent stretch of fertile prairie lands
tiatersed by the railroads of the state along
the divide through central Nebnuk.i and
Colorado to Denver , and If ttelli of the
capacity of the one referred to can be sunk
nlong these railroads at Intervals of a few
miles , say to the depth of thirty or forty
feet , and from that depth drive down drain
pipes to the body of sheet water , the farmers
nlong the route are sure of getting a supply
of water for Irrigation purposes and they are
certain of getting a flow of water that will
in most cases come to within ten or twenty
feet of the surface of the ground , "
f
, PLATTG HIVEH WATER SUPPLY. ,
Referring to the probable water supply In
the Plntte river bed for Irrigation purposes
by means of pumping well ttatcr. Mr. Hoge.
land quoted Chief Engineer Nettleton as an
eminent authority for the following :
"Thla estimate Is verified by u deep exca
vation nuiJo on the South Platte river
twenty-flvo miles southwest of Denver ,
where the company has put In a subconduct
near the bed of the river , which U eighteen
feet below the water line. In the 700 ( eet
ot this conduct there Is obtained 9,000,000
Kalians each twenty-four hours , or at the
rate ot 103 cubic feet per second for a mlle
j ) { Btfch conduct. Therefore , ! by means of a
centrifugal sand pump , wo 'have excavated
what may bo called a gathering welt about
29 ( JSi [ SSS fill1 * S'S ' l feet < leep. ( .below ; the
river ) , nnd have placed two powerful flftpf-n-
Incli centrifugal pumps to lift the water out
of this well into the rannl. "
Reference wan also made to the following
paragraph from the final geological reports
of the underflow Investigation made by
Prof. Robert Hny , P. O. 8. A. , to the tccre-
tnry of agriculture , 1892 :
"Tho streams thus becoming entangled In
tli6 silt of tliolr own valleys are Indeed
lost to view , but they are not wholly lost.
They go to feed the underflow. No
physical feature of the great plains Is more
Impressive , when once fully realized , than
the fact that n mighty Invisible river ac
companies each visible one. The under
flow Is vastly broader and deeper than the
visible river and Is always there , whllo the
river In sight may ccaso to flow. The only
point In which the river excels Is velocity.
The percolation of water through silt Is
very slow as compared with channel
velocities and this limits the volume which
may bo developed by subflow ditches or
pumping. Where the silt Is very porous ,
by reason of Its coarseness or the form of
Us particles , and at the same tlmo the
water Is under considerable pressure , the
velocity of percolation may approach that
of free flowing streams. In rome places In
the valley of the Platte so copious Is the
underflow that when It Is tapped at the
distance of several mllci from the channel
It responds to powerful pumps n.s freely as
If the supply ttcro drawn from n subter
ranean lake. "
The convention adjourned at C o'clock to
meet Immediately after supper and hold a
farewell t > cfslon at the Commercial club.
IHUIATIO.V ( ; i.\Tiuvnn.s. : :
Tilths ultli DrlfigatP * Upon u Subject of
( iciii'iiil UVstcm Interest.
Donald W. Campbell of Denver At the
commencement of the panic a great num
ber of Irrigation enterprises had been
started and surtcys made , but the financial
depression upset many projected enterprises.
The signs now point to a revival of Irriga
tion work , though I do not look for the
same actltlty as existed In 1892 for set oral
years. Irrigation Is the redemption of the
west.
west.Matt
Matt Dougherty of Ogalalla In our valley
we hate got the water flow In sulllclcnt
quantity to Irrigate the entire Platte valley
from the Wyoming line to the Junction of
the South Platte near North Plutte. There
are now In Scotts Dluff county 450 miles of
Irrigating ditches and In Cliejenne count j
there are over 200 miles of ditches. The
test has proved marvelous. The llelmont
ditch , over twenty miles In length , Irri
gates over 15,000 adrc and has always
proved successful since the day It was
placed In operation.
Mayor Dillon of Sheridan , AVyo. What
better proof does any one want that will
silence skeptics than the fact that Sheri
dan wheat raised under Irrigation ditches
took first premium at the World's fair o\er
all competitors ? Irrigation Is a great suc
cess in Wyoming and wo hate set a good
pace.
L. J. Simmons of Harrison , President of
the Northwestern Nebraska Irrigation Asso
ciation Wherever irrigation has been tried
In our county It has Increased the product.
A man who puts even a few acres under
ditch Is sure of a living. One friend of
mine who 1ms three acres under ditch got
a yield of J500 an aero last year. This
was on the Intensive farming plan. There
Is a controtersy now In our county over
the utility of creek water- * for domcctlc
and Irrigation puipo cs and an Important
case Is In court RS a result of it. Kor the
high table lands wo must look to artesian
water and must hate government assist
ance as well as laws that will allow us to
take water from the streams across the
Wyoming line Into Nebraska. There will
bo no occasion of western counties of Ne
braska asking for annexation to Wyoming
In older "to get the benefit ot Wyoming
water laws If eastern Nebiaska will only
co-oporute with us for relief.
Charles J. Orable of Ciawford , Neb. I am
building a ditch fourteen miles long near
Udgcmont , ending In a water power at
Udgemont with n setenty-two-foot fall. H
will irrigate 7,000 acres when completed ,
which will bo about Juno. 1 , as ( lift woik
Is half cVmipluted. I am a great bclletcr in
irrigation. I am also projecting a ditch b"e-
tweon Ciawford and Chudron , which will bo
twenty-six miles long when completed. There
ttlll be fifteen resen'olis In that distance.
We require legislation before wo can secure
use of water to run this successfully and
wo will move on Lincoln next winter.
St. Clrflr O'Malloy of Buffalo , , Wyo.
Wyoming Is all right on Irrigation and her
agricultural products prove it.
D. II. Stearns of Portland I live In an
Irrigation country , nnd though Oregon has
forty Inches of aterago rainfall per annum
It comes In the winter , when It Is of no pres
ent use and must be stored In the soil until
summer , when It is needed. That Is piactl-
cal , natural Irrigation. What farmers want
are good ciops otery year. The question of
economy In Irrigation Is the main one. Many
of the farm owners In Kansas and Nebraska
have their own water shed areas and lower
levels that may bo Irrigated with storm
waters. All that Is necessary1 Is to run a
"stop" around the head plans near a "draw"
which carries away n considerable quantity of
storm water , being careful nofto cnclosp the
channel of the draw , and then run a short
ditch from the draw to the upper side of the
field tg bo Irrigated. That side \\lll need no
"stop , " unless there Is a higher level to bo
covered. Then watch that the water does
not rise high enough to overflow and break
the stop before It Is turned back Into its
natural channel. I have seen thousands ot
places In the Platte , Loup and Elkhorn t al
leys where acres could bo Irrigated fully for
slnglo crops in this way at an expense of 10
cents per acre. With the vines In Nebraska
and the amount of storm water they could
carry off , thcio Is no necessity for resertolrs
but the soil. Intensive farming Is well
enough for the man who seeks Investment of
capital wheio It ttlll do the most good for
future generations , but It Is not the idea
that ttlll raise the largest crop for the
least money. I speak from the observations
of twenty jears.
Charles A. Gregory of New York If It
were not for the fact that Irrigation acre
age Is generally exuggeiuted by enthusias
tic projectors , capital would be less timid.
It Is best to always state In a conservatlto
way Just the number of acres under ditch.
Most people Interested , howeter , oterstato
the acreage to attract capital , and the re
sult Is that the returns ut Washington are
subject to close scrutiny from capitalists
who arc awuro of this fact. It enlarges the
appearance of the enterprise , und u man
may Ilo successfully once , but It prates a
boomerang for other entcrpilses of this
kind If capital Is deceived. I think Irriga
tion Is a great thing , and thote Is no doubt
but what private capital will readily come
to the front If congress gives Irrigation
liroper Intestlgatlon and reports favorably
tlipieon.
A. L. King of Hitchcock county , Neb
The Culbertson lirlgatlon canal , recently
built from Palisade to Culbertson , will bo
twenty-seven miles In length when the ex
tension to Uluck Wood creek Is completed.
It Irrigates Sij.OOO acres and has a flow of
100 cubic feet per second. It has ten flumes ,
of which one Is a quarter ot mlle In length.
These Humes nro seventy-eight feet lilgh. The
canal works succebsfully.
Major Powell of Washington This subject
s of great Importance to the future of
Inmlia , which ttlll become the Gate City of
redeemed arid America. H will develop
your commerce and Industries. This state
ms four sources ot Irrigation , namely the
bitnd resortolr , pump ttcll , storm water
resunolr and btrcams. It Is ttcll equipped
or irrigating purposes. Wyoming 1ms set
a good example on waterlaws , which should
jo adopted by Nebraska , Wyoming Is far
ahead ot all other states In this Incompara-
> le method of water rights , and one of the
best features Is Us enactment of lawn gov
erning water rights and the administrative
> ewer vested In a state board and state
engineer. The latter plan has saved the
state millions of dollars worth of litigation.
n other states where this plan Is not In
vogue the lawyers got the/ benefit Instead
of the farmers. What Nebraska wants Is
a similar system to prevent Interference of
vater rights.
Judge Emery of Lawrence The Anglo-
Saxon race has hitherto conquered other
races , ; but it has , In nil Its history , never
undertaken to conquer a desert. The task
with us Is now to reclaim an arid country
mlt as largo , If we exclude Alaska , as tha
whole union. We have got to do this job ,
whether wo ttlll or no. The public domain
vhlch la nt lo maUo farms out ot Is gone.
* ho condition tto now face , as a people , will
ax our beat and our highest qualities.
t wo set about the honest und economic
reclamation ot all this region lying went
ot t.a wo shall certainly succeed , because
our. ktDil sl kl ? d tiaa
lint much money has ntreadN ] been loit In
unwise and Ill-considered Irrigation schemes
and enterpriser. Wo have today an many
dry ditches as met dltchci ; that is , half
our lirlgntlon dam * , reservoirs and all
that have proved flat failures.-
Honda and watered slocks have
been floated on the market only to result
In great loss of money and in fat fees for
the lawyers. Wo must stop nil this kind of
thing and proceed , from now on , Intelligently
and honestly. Wo need on Irrigation our-
vey to bo made by the government , nnd
this want Is Imperative. Then wo need a
wlso cede of laws to protect the farmer
after ho gets his start and In getting his
start. Thlo Is n work of tlmo. But my
own faith li unshaken In the near triumph
of Irrigation , because back ot the tyholo cn-
torprlso stands the best blooded people of
the world. Our young men need America
to build homes In and they shall have It ,
Incnuso the fates will It. Our highest civili
zation , the tcry flower ot all civilisations ,
Is jet to bo found In arid America and on
the Pacific slope ,
There was n unanimity of opinion among
the delegates that the Omaha convention
would be productltc ot good results and that
"Omaha was n great city. "
Irrigation by Arti'Nliin
Mr. Carnahan of Colorado , backed by the
delegation from Wyoming , Insisted on the
follow Ing being Incorporated In the resolu- *
tlons to bo adopted by the convention :
Hesolvcd , That the government should
determine bv actual testrt tt bother or not
nrtcilcin ttater can be obtained upon the
Croat plains , und If HO , to tthat extent.
After considerable discussion the men from
the ttest triumphed and the convention rati
fied fhelr request. It was decided to hate
county and state organisations act as com
mittees to punch up the various congres
sional delegations and agitate Irrigation
legislation now pending In congress , A copy
of the resolution tins ordered hont to the
secretary of the Interior and congressional
delegations of the states Interested.
The Nebraska delegates to the Irrigation
convention hold an Informal meeting at the
Commercial club rooms last evening , at
which several brief addresses were made
and Irrigation discussed. I. N. Fort of
North Platte presided. Most of the delegates
to the Convention have left for tholr re

SOME POBTBAITS OF GRANT.
Ii > tulN About Illustrations In
the "Century AV'ar Hook , "
Especially Interesting among the illustra
tions of .tlio "Century War Book" are those
which deal.with the uniforms and faces of
famous old regular army people.
Those ttho recall the well knotyn painting
by Emmanuel Leutze , which pictures n scene
In the Mexican war , of which General then
Lieutenant U. S. Grant was the hero , will
be somewhat disappointed at a reproduction
ot a photograph of that tlmo. It shows
Lieutenant Grant In the Ill-fitting and ab
surdly boyish appealing clothes peculiar to
the old sertlue.
The beaidless young officer stands with
ono arm thrown oter the neck of a diminu
tive horse. Alongside stands General Alex
ander Hajs , also a Mexican warrior , holding
another horse by the br'dle. Ills more
manly flgure Is also clothed In quecrly made
garments.
Lieutenant Grant wears one of the old-
style Sanfoid & Morton overhanging flat
cloth caps with a limp leather vlbctr. A
thick wisp of hair falls untidily otcr the
right ear. A broad wliito starched collai
droops oter a high stock of patent leather.
A single row of brass eagl buttons runs
from neck to waist of a tight-chested , bell-
skirted frock coat. A broad light strlpo
runs down the side of the trousers leg.
A small likeness copied fromvone worn by *
Mrs. Grant on a wristlet Is also given in the
same work. The original was made shortly
before Grant's resignation from the aimy
prior to the civil war , and ropiesents him
as a smooth but stern-faced joung captain.
A third portrait ot General Grant Is fiom
a photograph taken In 1861. Grant was
then a brigadier , and had begun to bo talked
about. Ho sits with both hands clasping
his sttord , which rests across his lap. On
his head Is ono of the large , ungainly , soft
slouch hats then fashionable In army circles.
Ono side of the brim Is caught up to the
crown by a rosette. The beard Is long and
heavy and the face wears an air of settled
purpose.
There are scteral other portraits of the
old commander In the work , and old soldiers
who bcnud under him express unbounded
satisfaction In studying these vivid glimpses
of their dead leader. The pictures arc ab
solutely faithful to the originals , as is the
case with all work bearing the Century im
print.
The now popular edition of "Tho Century
War Book , " In which the above-mentioned
pictures are presented among 900 others
equally as Interesting alike to veterans and
readers of hlstoiy , Is now being Issued by
The Bee In twenty pirts , one part to bo dis

"DIRT DEFIES THE KINGu" THEN
IS GREATER THAN ROYALTY ITSELF ,
UP TO DATE
ndmund Clarence Stcdman said recently
that the World's fair had Illlcd the people
who saw It with a noble discontent of their
owii unlovely homes
In scores of cases this discontent has
ripened Into a dulcimlnatlun that the homo
shall speedily bo made beautiful by new and
artistic furniture , with such later additions
of pictures , books , briou-bruc , und ohjets do
vertu as the limits ot purse and possible
misgivings as to one's coricct artistic judg
ment ttlll permit.
Fully allvo to the opportunity now pre
sented , the furniture manufacturers ot this
country , emboldened by rich lessons of the
fair , and conscious of an assured demand ,
have stepped at once from the overy-day
level ot conventional mediocrity to the very
front rank of original nrtlbtlo worlc.
Designers have caught the enthusiasm for
pure classic art , and a new period ls surely
approaching a period which will bo marked
by as strong a refinement of popular taste
as occurred In Hngland In 17C9 , when the
brothers Adam brought back fiom Italy their
Pompelan studies , and the Adam's style became -
came at once the furore of the day.
Ono may speak of this now school without
use of the future tense , It Is not a pre
diction or a possibility. The style Is here.
An hour's walk through our warerooms will
tell the story better than any words.
