It ia within the range of powibillty that
the present Ideas of farm valuation may

years, and 1 am of tne opinion that thn

advise any stockman in the state of Ne

that purpose at the earliest possible op
portunity. .
Personally, my Ideal for a farm ia not
wholly a smooth level tract on which
where there is sufficient land auitable for

as to destroy the grasses entirely. It bad
been thoroughly demonstrsled that unless
Irrigated, crops could not be raised In the
northwestern part of the state and hat
where an attempt was made to cultivate
the lands the result Was only to kill out
the natural grasses and It would require
years for them to grow in again. .The
bulk of the western Nebraska lands, he
considered, could be better used for graz
ing than anything else.
I. A. Fort of North Platte thought some
thing must be done to save the surface
water which found Its way Into the Platte
rivers. Tbe South Platte, he said, bad
been a dry bed of sand for years and for
the last few seaaons much of the time the
North Platte had been dry. at hla city. If
Wyoming and the western part of the
state used all tbe water and did not re
turn any of it to the river bed, it was diffi
cult to see where tbe water supply for Irri
gation was coming from.
Resolatloaa Adopted.
At the session this evening resolutions
were adopted favoring the passage of mora
stringent laws for the protection of land
lords, ' encouraging building and loan as
sociations, but condemning the tontine
plan; favoring a national irrigation law,
but opposing the so-called compromise bill
now before congress or any other bill that
takes away tbe actual control ot water by

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. (Special Tele
gram.) The Item In the Indian appropria
tion bill continuing the Indian supply depot
at Omaha haa bad a somewhat rocky road te
travel recently and tor a time It looked as
if It would fall altogether. On Tuesday tbe
members of the house committee on Indian
affairs sought to put the Item in the bill,
but on a vote It waa ordered to be atrlcken
out. Yesterday the vote wss reconsid
ered gfid the Item will be found In the bill
to be reported tomorrow, carrying an ap
propriation of $10,000, which la $2,000 mora
than last year. The wording baa been con
siderably changed and ia aimed to meet the
objections of tbe secretary of the Interior
and the commissioner ot Indian affairs
against maintaining an Indian aupply depot
at Omaha.
Information before the house committee
waa to the effect that while the money ap
propriated haa been paid out In salaries,
nothing has been done toward occupying
the buildings leased for tbe purpose. Con
gressman Mercer, who drafted the amend
ment to tho bill, haa sought to make it
mandatory upon the part of the Indian
office not only to open bide in Omaha, but
also to s tore supplies there. '
Army Post at Des Moines.
Congressman Hull ot Des Molnea waa in
an exceedlugiy happy frame of mind today
over a talk he had with Secretary Root in
relation to the new army post to be built
In Des Moines. The congressman la up for
renomlnation and, while he la here looking
after the Interests of hts constituents, hla
opponents are asserting that the Des Molnea
post will not be built and that the talk of a
new postofflce building at that place la de
signed only to catch the unwary.
Captain Hull said today he had the as
surance of Secretary Root that tbe post
would be built along the lines contemplated
that $200,000 having been appropriated he
regarded tbe action of congresa as specific
in character and would approve the esti
mates contemplating the purchase ot 605
acres additional for rifle range, to cost
$28,000.
General Miles, when seen In regard to the
omission of the post at Des Moines from
the list of permanent posts submitted by
the army board, of which be was president,
said the board did not think any recom
mendatlon was necessary in view of the
speciflo action of congresa.
"We are going to get a new postofflce
building, too," said Captain Hull. "Secre
tary Taylor sent a letter to the chairman
of the house committee on public buildings
and grounds today, stating that, in hi
opinion, a three-story and basement build
ing covering 30,000 square feet on the first
floor and 15,000 feet on each of the other
floors, could 6e erected at a cost ot $850,
000, Including site. Now wa are going to
go for that building, and we are going to
get it."
