Cramb's hea ( was that the sugar refinery

the crushers , or syrup rnctorle would be
Icalerell over the state , thus laving railway

nhollel reall ( a Utter from Oxnr.I , whIch
stated that the crushers and refiners must

Higgins was In favor ot the amendment
for the reason that It placed the manurac-
\ ttIrr and grower on on ) equal footing.

Hutch advanced the Idea that when a city

Hoblnson made tie point that I the amendment -
ment , Ir passed ! , would defeat Its own objects , I
becaule the compnny woulll , naturally , ) ur-
chaAo Its beets at the nearest point , to save

. relRb rates.
, SIJcker Jchards , from the floor , said he
cl ! not btleve the amendment of Walt
would result In gaining the object sought
S lie sal that this was an Important question.
I Nebraska did not take Immediate steps
S toward securing this Industry other state
would.
Monger showed that the amendment would
serve to work an injustice In the fact that
Il would compel any factory engaged In the
'manufacture or beet sugar to pay $ : a ion
for all beets offered from any part or the
S 'state . no matter whether the factory could
. handle the beets or not.
Ruter said that In Antelope county the
raising or beets hall been a complete failure.
Partes there hac tried I for four yeat and
hall now gone out or the business. lie
thought If a bounty or five-eights of a cent
pl1 pound were pall for sugar the raiser of
btots should be pall something.
Harrison created considerable merriment
by stating that the corn raiser hired only
S one man for three 10nths In the year , white
.tiO beet raiser cultivating the same numberS
S or acres elilloyel fourteen men fourteen .
months In the year.
Then Van Honsen asked harriman ' why , I
.tho beet sugar Industry had not flourished
S with a government bounty or 2 cents a pound ,
how ho expected It to do welt under a bounty
I of less than 1 cent a' poul\17' ' Harrison re-
fused to enter Into a general tarlr lIscusslon
and sat down.
The amendmonf was lost by a vote of [ G

The amendment ' was lost . and sections 1 ant

Harrison then moved that when the committee -
mittee roe I report the bill for passage.
Howarc sent up In amendment to the
motion of Harrison , which the chairman
announced the subject mater or , but refused
to lay It before the house. anti declared the
question ear the motion of Harrlscn , which

lns for wishing the bills recommltet ,
Teff again went oyer the explanation ot his
motives .
, Then I was that Crane became earnest. Ito
.Ieclared that the bills In queton hall been
Carefully considered by the juJlclary commit-
tee. Considerable time had ben spent over
the measure l'artles Interested on both
Ilde : hall appeared anll ( Bled the bis pro

denolneet the effort to semi the bills back as
a delberato scheme to kill them ,
"Well , " retorted Teift , wheelng arounil In
hln chair and acing Crane "Ir you conshi-
ered them as carefully as YOI say you have It
Is likely that any scheme to kill them will
prove abortive. "
Crane raised the point or order that the (
moton to reommit was out of order at this
time.
The lieutenant governor declIned to sirs-
taln the point or order ant Crane appe31c1
from the decision or the chair.
Ter characterized Crano's point of order
as "the most absurd propositon ever sub-
mlttd to a chairman of [ a deliberative bed ) "
The lIeutenant governor was fustalned by
an nhnot Inanimol3 vote.
T r then withdrew his orIginal motion ant
mcved that senate files No. 17 and No. 18 be
Indafnlely postponet. lie salll that he was
s3tfet that the authors or the bills were
endeavoring to accomplIsh some ulterior IJur- '
pso In an Indirect manner.
CRANE I XILAINS HS lULLS.
Crane opposed the motion to indefinitely
p"stpcne the blll. . , mind In doing so ex-
plallll theIr provlslon9. lie said that taken
together senate files 17 , 18 and 21 had for
their purpose thD consol atoa or the pro-
visions relating to the electlcn or the county
attorney and register of deeds with that sec-
ton relating to the election of all other
officers. In order to do this senate files No.
11 and 18 repealed the section providIng for
the election or registers or deeds and county
atrneyp. but these are restored to the stat-
utI In their proper IJlac In senate file No.
21. The three , bills must stand or fall to
gether. One or the Important objects or
senate file No ; 18 Is to so amend ! the present
law that the bond or the county ator : ) '
must be of an adequate amount and slasH
run to the county and nol to the state , asIa
I now the case. Senate file No. 17 Is de
signed ale to remedy a very noticeable do-
feet In the present law , which does not pro-
' vide ! , to what or whom the bond of the regIs-
ter ot deeds shal run . except by 1m-
ilication. Hut the most Important
of the three hills Is sonata file No. 21 , which
seelts to male the ofce oC county clerk
extend over a period or four years , In-
stead or , two. Tine , Crane asserted , was In
the line of economy , ns every change In the
admlnlstrnton of nn office of [ such dl'ersl-
fed Importalce ns that or county clerk Is i
necessarily attended with great expense to
time public. I requires about ole-hnl ot llt
present term of nn omcer to acquaint hlm-
self with all the duties ot the office . 011
then a geed rorton ot the next year Is
taken up In carrying out plans for a re-elec-
tion.
The motion to indefinitely postpone the
bills was lost by a vote or 22 to S.
Graham moved that No. 17 be Indefinitely
postponed but Akers succeeded In headIng
off the moton , calug up the Irrigaton bill
and carrying the senate Into commltec of
the whole for its consideration .
AKEnS CIAIPINS IRRIGATION.
The irrigation bi being under consider-
aton Akers made a prelIminary statement
as to its Importnnce. Ho said that ho had
been a practcnl Irrigaton 1st for the past
eleven years and without boastng ho be-
10vel that he had given the subject oC prac-
lcal irrigation more careful and conscien-
tous study than any cther man In the state
or Nebraska. One year ago he had been
appointed one of a committee or
three to draft an irrIgatIon 'law.
In droWns that law ho had carefully
considered every statute and irrigation law
before drafting the bill. He had mId the
proceedings of every state and national Irri-
gaton convention to ascertjn ! the nature or
the law demanded. The bill under conIdera-
ton Is the result of the study and condldera-j
tion. I Is the .cream of the Irrigation laws of
California , Colorado arid Wyoming , which .
wera recognized. a8 the _ beH 'In ' the United
Statea. -
The bill , he contiqued , had been ' submitted
to tim state irrigation convention at Kearney
and two or the best recognized authorll In
the country , Donall Campbell ot Colorado
and ! r. Irish , chief of the Bureau of Immi- !
graton at Washlnglon had both agreed that
the law would , If adopted , bo , the best In the
UnlteJ States. ;
Alters tsked ror the carSful cDnslderaton 0 [
tIme bill . and Expressed the hope that non oC
Its material features ' .quld he crippled by
amendments. - '
The senate , after lIsining to further argu-
mont from Akerstook' ' a recess until 2
'
'cicci : .
V
After recess the consideraton of the Irri-
gaton hill was immediately resumed. But
tow amendmmts were offered and the bill
was read with but few interruptions.
After the reading had been finished Stew-
art made an erort to strike out the pro-
visions relating to the employment of the'
under secretaries authorized by the act , but
did not succeed. The committee then arose
and recommended that the bill be passed.
Immediately after the senate again went ,
Into committee of the whole to consldel
senate' file No. 181 , an act enabling counties
tn the state of Nebraska to Issue bonds tt
construct' and operate canals for Irrigation ,
navigation , water power and other purposes ,
amid ' the F'neralng of electric and other'
power , and transmitting the same for light ,
heat , power and other purposes.
This Is the bill known as the Omaha canal
. bill and was drawn for the purpose of en-
ablng Douglas county to construct and
, that enterprise. 'The bill '
operate Iterprlse. bi was not a'
long one and was amended In but few par.-
ticrmlars. . , The , committee arose amid recom-
mended Its passage.
Just before adjournment a number of new
bIlls were Introduced by unanimous consent ,
bringing the total l for thae _ session up to 409' '
-an even 102 more than were Introduced
In the session two years ago.

IN LINCOLN COUNTY ALONE.
Complete figures covering the extent of the
work In Lincoln county are not at hand. The
North Plate canal In this county reports
40,000 acres under dich and 12,000 acres
actually Irrigated. The Menataro canal re-
ports 7,000 acres under ditch and 4,000 acres
actually Irrigated. Figures compiled by' I. A.
Fort or . North Plate show that In Lincoln
county a total of , sixty-eight miles of diches
were already completed and 135 mIles un- :
del construction tn 1891. Ho estimates the' '
total number of acres In Lincoln , county
capable or being IrrIgated by canals fed by' '
runnIng streams at 325,000 acres. .
I Is to facilitate time work oC irrigation
in Nebraska that Senator Alters has Intro-
: luced In the present session his two Irriga-
ton bills. One of these has already passed
the senate : The bill already passed In the
senate provides for the organization and go'v-
ernment or irrigation districts , for the acquiring -
qUlrlng of canals . already built or partaly
constructed , for the issue ot bonds by Irri-
gation districts for the purpose oC purchasIng - '
Ing or cemrtructing .
contructng Irrigation canals , etc. This
Is known ' In Calornia as the Wright taw
anl Is time law which In that state bas done
so much for irrtgaticn.
Under the operation of the II\v already
passed by the senate the Owners of any
given townhlp or part of a township may , by

the proposition will be accepted by a considerable -
siderablo number of farnrers. At Broken

sition. TIns association is composed of
time leading bursiness mmren of the city , and It
Is believed tirat time greater hart of the

cirammco offered by tire Chicago men. In

sition was made by time Clricago Board of

President Gibbon of time Omaha Board of
Trade Is heartily in favor of tire plan. He
says tirat the immense coot of supplying seed
as proposed could only be done successfully
by the Chicago Board 'of Trtdo , anc , that. all
it Asked in return v s a"i1arantee that
the amount titus Invested be returned. It
would put tim seed In at cost price to tire
farmer trod take a lien on the crops. If
there was a crop failure or a successful yield
the benefactor took all chances. Mr. Gib-
boo said he did not think time Omaha Hoard
of Trade would take any official action on
time subject :
'James 'Walsh thougirt that Nebraska aimouhd
supply bee own farmers witir seed regardless
of cost' because agriculture was time prime
resource of the state.
Joseph' ' O'Connor shared time same opinion ,
and , in fact , local grain men , white not adversely -
versely , criticising tire proposed Chicago plan ,
thoughtr'that ' state needs should be met by
