To . i ro r I li tr Wilier.
"There havo been twenty-six applications
for permits to appropriate water tiled since
the last semi-annual meeting, one hearing
of contest of water right waB held at
North Platto and tho briefs havo been filed

I threo havo been allowed and ono dismissed.
There haB been no appeal taken from auy

"Most of tho tlrno of tho secretary and
I assistants has been taken up with tho In
vestigation of comp,.tlnts arlslrig from tho
scarcity of wotor ond In settling contro
versies In regard to tho distribution of
water. Considerable tlmo has also been
put In on tho measurements of streams in
order to get a bettor record of tho How
of streams used for irrigation.
"Wo now havo sovcral appeals to tho
board on tho docket, but nearly all tho
cases Involved aro now In court nnd the
parties havo asked that they be continued.
"Tho extremely dry and hot weather has
caused considerable trouble In Bomo lo
calities whero tho water supply has been
short, but wo have been ablo to settle all
cases, so far, without any nppeal to tho
courts. Tho dry season has revived Inter
est In Irrigation matters nnd many now
enterprises nro being considered and wo
have had a largo amount of Inquiry from
parties desiring to find unappropriated
water which can bo used for Irrigation.
"In nddltlon to theso new enterprises
