it free of charge. A meeting has been held

claims. The people of that neighborhood
are Impelled to make this move because of
the long distance their children now have
to go to attend school. The matter was
brought up some months ago , but was put off
by the school board on the ground that the
district could not afford to establish a school

BANISHMENT OF THE DROUTH
leanimating Blighted Districts by Means
of Irrigation.
MOVEMENT IN WESTEhN NEBRASKA
Plans and I'urpotrs of the Coming Conven
tion of the htato Irrigation Associa
tion at Jteiiruoy BusU of
Itopresculutlou.
The second annual convention of the Ne-
jraska State Irrigation association will be
lield at the opera house in Kearney , Decem
ber 18 and 19 , under the auspices of the
Buffalo County Irrigation association. A large
number of experts and men prominent in
the irrigation movement have been Invited
to attend and address the convention.
The convention will bo unusually largo
and representative if the officials and organi
zations Invited to send delegates will give
the matter the attention its importance de
mands. The governor of the state has been
requested to appoint twenty delegates-at-
large , and the State Board of Agriculture ,
the state labor commissioner , the State uni
versity and Agricultural college ten delegates
each. Presidents of farmers' Institutes ,
granges , agricultural and horticultural and
other societies connected with the develop
ment of agricultural Interests are entitled to
ten delegates each. Each sectional Irrlga-
tlonal association is entitled to fifteen dele
gates and all Its officers , aftd each local asso
ciation ten delegates In addition to Its offi
cers. Cities are entitled to ten delegates
each , appointed by the mayors , and villages
five ; boards of trade and commercial clubs
live , and colleges and labor organizations
three each.
The State Irrigation association is at pres
ent composed almost exclusively of farmers ,
3,000 being enrolled. The purpose of the asso
ciation is to encourage and enlighten Its
members on the best means of utilizing the
water supply available for agriculture. Re
peated crop failures attest the hopelessness
of dependence on rains. Irrigation Is the one
positive and reliable road to agricultural pros-
parity In western Nebraska. This being
universally conceded , the question arises lion
best to utilize the supply of water available , sc
as to do the greatest feood for the greatcsl
number.
This and all relaOvif'questlons ' will be con
sidered by the convention. The association
urgently desires a largo attendance , and tht
request will undoubtedly be responded tc
generally. As the 'committee In charge declare -
clare : "It is a straight bread and buttei
question , and thcra la no question that ex
cels or compares to" the food supply for our
selves and our little 'ones. Irrigation wll'
safely solve this question , for irrigation en-
surea a crop every JeaK"
Another important opject of the conventtor
is to bring together representatives of a !
classes and conditions in the state. Nebraskt
is primarily an agricultural state. The pros
perity of all other Interests depend on abund
ant rrops. The lenSon of this year's failure
pervades every branch ofibuslness. It louche :
the pockets of the manufacturer and employe
diminishes the receipts of the Jobber and re
tailer. Its blighting touch has enfeebled tin
currents of commercial and industrial life
It Is manifest , therefore , that any prljec' '
calculated to prevent a repetition of dlsastei
forcibly appeals to every patriotic citizen
That Irrigation will accomplish all that li
claimed for It there is no doubt. It V.
simply a question of adequate laws to encour
age and means to accomplish the ends sought
The Irrigation association urgently appeal ;
to business man to participate In the conven
tlon , to the end that tlib cause so vltall ]
connected with the comrron welfare will re
celvo active and intelligent support.
The railroad will carry delegates at bal
rates. _
