poo A. Mark, an Irrifiatlon engineer
fcrora Morrill, Neb., ms at th capital
Joday to see if there T.as not some v.ay
fcy vblch the b title railway commission
pc '-l help out the settlers on the Inter
state aiuh In his ct-ctioa. When the r
flamatton service eiistneers made au
ct.mate of what water rights were to
rt they placed it at J per acre, with
maintai nance chiuge ot forty cents
er acre pvr year, on the strength of
this a larKa number tttok up lands under
ha government project. Payments were
to date from the time water waa turned
frn which tho engineers fixed at June,
p08 but as a matter of fact only a small
Portion of the district obtained water on
pat date, with the result of no crops.
The engineers allege this was due to
the farmers not knowing liowt o handle
their ditcses but the settlers' and en-
f Insert employed by them asert It wss
ue to faulty construction of ditches.
This, however, is not all of their
roubles. Instead of $35 per acre the
trice has been raised to for all who
ltd not paid up on their contracts. In
ine section only one msn was able to
lo this and as a result ail others are
held for tho greater rate. The maintain -utce
charge, instead of being forty
tenta per acre is U Thin matntainance
iharge Is remitted for two years to all
sho sign the new contract. Many of
Lheee settlers, Mr. Mark says, have In
rested everything they have and due to
lack of water for their lands have
wither the money nor the credit to get
t to enable them to make their nay
nsnts and unless some relief Is afforded
y means of extensions will lose their
nv est meat.
Even with the extension they assert
rate Is so high that no one but a
petal tut can swing the proposition. The
lti h being an Interstate proposition the
I way commission Is doubtful of Its
uthority ta do anything In the matter
regulating rates, which are fixed by

Did it ever strike you how

your family must appear
to be to your friends who
have modernly heated
homes when they call and
find your folks gathered
closely around a stove in
one room, while the other
rooms are shut off from
use avoided because they
are as cold and damp as
a refrigerator?

ii RADIATORS iBOILERS a home. The deep, large fuel chamber
of an IDEAL Boiler is one of the
strong features for producing its great superiority in fuel saving.
A deep fire is easily proven best as compared with the shallow fire-pots of old
fashioned heating methods just as a big, full cake of ice to fill the refrigerator
box will give far longer, steadier results than would the frequent throwing in of
a handful of cracked ice.

IDEAL Boiler fuel-pots have air grooves or channels in which
the air and coal-gases thoroughly mix, as in a modern gas or oil
burner, thus extracting every bit of the heat from the fuel None
of tho heat is wasted up the chimney.
IDEAL Boilers and AMERICAN Radiators require less attention than a stove;
a child can run them. They reduce house-cleaning one-half, and save wear
