George II. Maxwell, secretary of tho Na
tional Irrigation association, met with the
executive coiuinltteo ot the Omaha Com
mercial club at noon yesterday for the pur
pose of or.KanlzInK a branch of that society.
After luncheon Mr, -Maxwell addressed
tho member nt length lie took up the
questions which' dlvldo tho champions of
government construction , and control of Ir
rigation systems and thoso who favor tho
cession of tha lands to tho state, lie said
thot his experience with bllts In recent ses
sions of congress showed him that the
representative from the eastern states
would favor the plan ol tho nksoclntlon If
It could bo shown that actual settlers were
to dorive benefit, hut that, they would bo op
posed to any schema which would permit
largo corporations to get control of tho
land and. monopolize tha water after It bad
been stored by tho government.
Ho said Uiat certain Western representa
tives, who did not have tho courage to
openly oppose Irrigation bills, would kill
them by, taeking on amendments which
congress "would not aecep't. and that tho
men who 'favor pnvcrnment control of Irri
gation cnnnoi afford to compromise- with
tho advocates of stato cession ot lands,

Mr. Mixwo.ll disagreed with Governor
Rlchnrds of Wyoming as. to the success that
etato Is buvlng with tho, land secured from
tho government, sn.y.lnfi-.tlmt ''in. that, state.
undor..tho stato regulations, land was being
secured D'ylp'rlValo. cYiucertrs, which control
tho wuter In .practically every stream of
any consequence li the) state and that the
Eamu condition is truo' of -the statu of
Nevada.
Touching upon the methods to bo pur
sued by tho local branches of the National
Irrigation association, ho said It was tho
deslro of tho officers that each member
who dealt with eastern commercial houses
write to their" correspondents, bringing-'
beforo thoin tho tmportnnce of tho move
ment to the west and requesting them
to join with tho western commercial houses
in securing liumedlato congressional action
on tho subject. Ilo said 'that such societies
had been formed in l'hoenlx, Ariz., Los
Angeles, Cal., and Denver, Colo., and that
tbo members In these states would use
every effort to convince the business men
of the cast that the Increase of their
western business depended upon the adop
tion of thdilrrlsatlon association's plan for
tho development of the west. Ilo charged
tho largo owners of cnttlo nnd sheep In
the western states with having successfully
opposed previous bills In congress and said
that tbey would do 'all In their power to
keep settlers from tho lands.
M r l There.
Congressman Mercer was present and
was called upon to express his opinion on
the subject. In response he said ho had
paid little attention to the question, but
that ho had heard expressions from the
friends of ooth government and stato con
trol and that by the tlrao tho bill was pro
touted ho thought ho would bavo made up
bis mind which plan to support.
General Maudorson was called upon to
express his opinion ot tho question.

lie, stated that In a country bo large as tho
United States laws which would bo benefi
cial to one section would not always be
equally beneficial to all, and that In the
case of tho stato of Nebraska he thought
It would be better cared for If the public
lands wero ceded to the state, '..while It
might bo best li seme Of tho othor states
to have the government control them and
tho water, Ilo satd that out of tho 10,000,
000 acres of scml-arld lands In the stoto
less than 1,000,000 were irrigable, leaving
over 9,000,000 acres which support an In

that tho stato could bo depended upon to

"We aro glad that tho stock yards com

will give us direct rail connection with

General Manager Smith of tho Omaha

relating to the consolidation of the electric

"Tho rumors which arc now current nro
but a repetition of thoso which have been
heard from time to time for tho last ten
years nnd have tho same amount of founda

Now York who mako a comfortable living

secure options on several located In a com

this they look around for persons with
money who will Invest.
"Kver since the Omaha and Council Bluffs
lino has been operated some of these pur
sons havo tried to get options on tho prop
erties for tho purposo of consolidating
them. Other promoters have endeavored to
Interest capital In the consolidation of all
corporations of the city, but so far they
havo failed In every particular. A short
t lino ago some of these people attempted to
renew tho old propositions, but they have
dono nothing more than what has been done
a dozen times before and thero Is really llt

wishes,"

WORSE THAN HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
Nn in r on n Yonnir Womnn'n Cult
l'liinKvn Into Comliat Her "Stcndy
Company" nnd Another
Admirer.
Ono evening three months ago Gcorgo
Van Clove, while chatting with a youug
woman at a club hop, Idly scribbled his last
name upon her cuff.
This seems llko n very trivial Incident,
yot It set In motion a train of clrcum
stnnccs which culminated yesterday In
a rough and tumble fight, In the nrrest of
Van Cleve and his erstwhile friend, It. H.
Lester. In their being booked for a hearing
in tho police court and In tho possibility
of the young woman being called upon to
testify In a very awkwurd case.
All would have been well If she had taken
tho pains to erase that name from her cuff,
but this sho neglected. In any event, how
could sho foresee that the laundry peoplo
would put that name "Van Clovo" upon
every article of her apparel? Hut that was
what they did. Thero was no use telling
tho man who drove tho laundry wagon that
"Van Clovo" was not her name and that sho
didn't want it on her clothes, for ho invari
ably forgot to report it nt headquarters,
Every new garment she bought was re
turned, indelibly branded, "Van Clove."
"Van Clovo" was her Nemesis, It stared
at her twice a day, from every Item of ber
wash goods wardrobe.
Yoiiiik Woinnn In Kinlinrrnnwrit.
Tho situation was especially embarrassing
because Van Cleve, the man, had never
been anything to her but a friend, and
scarcely that, Mr. H. H. Lester bolng her
steady company.
Tho possibility of Mr. Le6ter ever kuow
lng of her family skeleton seemed to her
a very remote possibility. Of courso, If
they were ever married she could explain
It to him, but otherwlso It would be un
necessary. Here, again, tho fates con
spired against her.
Sho Is one ot those young women bowlers.
Thursday night ho and Mr. Lester and
another young couplo went down to n Far
nnm atreot alley to break a few frames,
and, for the sake of comfort and free
dom of movement sho removed her cuffs
and collar and placed them, with her hat,
In tho place provided for such things behind
tho screen.
Tho rest can be easily anticipated, Of
course Mr. LeBier saw the telltale marks
and, of course, ho placed a very uncompli
mentary construction upon them. He and
tho young woman quarreled and yesterday
morning, when ho overtook Van Cleve on
tho Tenth street viaduct, bitter words wero
followed by fierce blows
At 10 o'clock this morning they will
be required to nnbwer to a charge of dls
turbing the peaco by fighting, and they
may learn the whole ridiculous truth con-
corning the marks on the laundry.
