Misleading.
(From a Btaff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, , April 12. (Special.) The ro
tators In lbs Omaha tax mandamus caae
tkrough their attorney, H. F. Mclntoah, have
filed objections to the report of Referee
Ryan and have moved the supreme court
for a tew trial of their suit They contend
that the referee erred In the admission
aid exclusion of evidence, tbat his decision
Is not founded on law and that the pro
csodinga before htm were Irregular. The
motion and the objections will come before
the court for consideration at the next
sitting of the court, which beglna Tuee
day. April 15. The documents were Bled
late thla afternoon, Just before the office
was closed.
Misrepresents Nebraska.
Borne figures grossly misrepresenting the
Irrigation Interests of this stats have been
glvn publicity In connection with the die
euaalon regarding the Irrigation meaaurea
now pending In congreaa. One lnatance la
known where the charge was made tbat
7 Nebraska baa only 148,000 acres of land cul
tivated under Irrigation. Secretary Dobaon
(if the State Board of Irrigation declarea
there are upward of 1.000,000 acrea of land
under Irrigation. In Dawson county alone
there are eleven Irrigating canala. aggre
gating 175 miles.
"We have no positive data aa to the num
ber of acrea Irrigated in Nebraska, but we
can make an eatimalo that la very nearly
correct." said Mr. Iobson. "The records
of this office ahow that water haa been
granted by the State Board of Irrigation
for nearly 4.000 mllea of canal, covering
about 1,700.000 acres. I would estimate the
number of mllea constructed at about 2.600,
covering about 1.000.000 acres of land. The
umber of acrea actually cultivated .under
vrruratlon may be less than the figures
"given, but ta still much greater than haa
been charged.
"In ths North Platte valley water haa
been appropriated for nearly 600,000 acrea
of land. The laat report of the atate en
gineer ahows tbat In Scotta Bluff county
between 60,000 and 60,000 acrea have beeo
Irrigated, and this la one of ths new
counties of the elate. Following along down
the North Platte and Platte rlvera a large
portion of the valley ta under Irrigation, la

cially In Lincoln and Dawaon countlea haa
the Irrigation development been greatest
and many thouaands of acres of land have
been brought under the Influence of Irriga
tion. A great many canala have been taken
out on the Loup river. The Great Eastern
caual,' taken from the Loup a short dis
tance above Genoa, has about seventy miles
of canal and laat year Irrigated about 2,600
acrea auccesafully. There are other cases
too numerous to mention where large tracts
of land have been auccesafully Irrigated.
There Is absolutely no truth In the report
now being circulated to the effect that ws
have only 148,000 acres under cultivation by
Irrigation, as anybody can readily determine
for himself by examining the records or
going over aome of the Irrigation districts
In the western part of the atate."
Male Teachers Alarmed.
The Nebraska Schoolmasters' club, an ex
clusive organisation of forty of the leading
educatora In - the atate, ta beginning to
view with aome alarm the rapid displace
ment of the male members of their profes

master waa the aole topic of discussion at
the meeting of the club In this city laat
night and flgurea were presented to ahow
that women teachera are taking the places
of men, not only In Nebraaka, but through
out the United 8tatea. State Superintend
ent Fowler, who rea,d the principal paper
of the evening, aald:
Not only haa the schoolmistress crowded
out the schoolmaster to a great extent,
but It should be noticed also that the early
colonial schools were organised principally
and almost exclusively for boys, that the
curriculum waa adapted to the needs of the
bnva. and althoiurh It has arown and ex-
pamUd. It haa not been chanced materially,
but that the girls In the grammar gradee
of our public achoola now outnumber the
boys about four to three; In the high
schools about three to two and In trie
senior class two to one.
In thla atate the number of men teachers
employed is decreasing very rapidly. The
