Brief In Irrigation Contest.
Brief have been filed by the Farmer
Irrigation district and William Frank In
the. three-cornered contest over the right
to tap the. Platte river in Bcotts Bluffs
county for the Irrigation of a tract com
prising about 80,000 acres of land. The
Farmer Canal company, which I the third
neriv In lnteret. ha not yet filed it brief.
although today wa the date aet for all of
them to be In. It 1 estimated that the
land which it I proposed to irrigate will
he worth $2,000,000. The cheme of William
vr.nk eontetnnlate watering 150.000 acre,
and tha development of power along hi
renal for Industrial purpose. He rest hi
'claim wholly on priority of application. The
Irrigation district object to Frank pre
tention became, it I claimed. It I specu
lative and will give him a monopoly of
rights, contrary to the term of tne consti
tution and against public policy. It 1 al
leged' that he proposes to exact $20 an acre
for water right, and that the granting of
his application wilt depSva realdent of
the district from watering their own lands.
It is alleged that Mr. .Frank has at
heart not o much the interest of the
district a of hi own bank account. When
the district came Into the field it Issued
$400,000 bonds, afterward declared valid by
the supreme court. Mr. Frank undertook
to negotiate them. He failed to find a taker.
Then ha made the district a proposition
to construct the canal through the agency
of a syndicate, if the district would glv
him a half of the land, amounting to 40.000
acre and the $400,000 in bonds. For this
reason th counsel for th. district asaert
tbat Frank is In the business for specula

YORK. Neb.. Nov. 15. (Special.) James
Butler, grain broker, yesterday addressed
a meeting of the members of the Inde
pendent Farmers' Elevator company at
Benedict. Mr. Butler haa a scheme to form
combination of farmers' Independent ele
vator companies, whereby 500 Independent
farmers' grain elevators will agree to
meke all their consignments to him, mak
ing a combination of elevators In the corn
nd hard win'er wheat belt tbat will be
competitors to the Peavev line of 400 ele
vators. The farmers gave good attention to
the address of Mr. Butler, but took no vote.
In talking of the matter today some of tho
farmer -point out that If all the consign
ments were made to Mr. Butler he would
be one of the largest grain brokers in the
country. If Mr. Butler's plan had been
more of the "mutual benefit" order it Is
believed they would have been ready to
have taken some action.
Farmers of York county believe that the
Independent elevator will be the means of
all farmers In this county securing at least
2 cents more a bushel for their grain here
after. After considerable delay they have
Just completed the elevator at Benedict and
the Burlington railroad has notified tbem
that it will build a switch and sidetrack
without charge and grant them equal fa
vors with other customers.
It was through the columns of The Bee
that general publicity was given of what
seemed to be a refusal of the Burlington
railroad to allow the farmers' Independent
elevator to be built along Its right-of-way
in Benedict. The farmers charge that the
elevator combine, thinking they could shut
them out, tried to prevent the railroad
company from granting this privilege. It
was only a few days after the article was
published In The Bee that the Burlington
sent official here to survey a sidetrack
and assure the farmers tbat at no time did
they Intend to discriminate against them.
The farmer of York county charge that
there Is a grain pool In York county and
that each day a price I agreed npon. If
this Is true the on elevator in Benedict
will probably make a big change In pool
price and th elevator property In York
county which ha been selling for five
times actual worth will depreciate to It
actual value.
