bonds registered which were voted for
the erection of a new court house at
Sprlnirvlew. The bonds are for J17.000
and somo of the residents of the county,
which has no railroad, object to a court
houso being built on the Idea that If a
railroad Is ever built through the county
Borne other town may mako a better
location for the court house than SprlnK
vlew, which Is near the center.
The objection comes from some people
in the north near Burton, who Insist that
County Commissioner William Spraguc,
who seconded the motion to call the
election, was not a resident of the dis
trict at the time the action of the board
was taken calling the election.

County Clerk John Shay appeared before

in a hearing before that official, de
claring It made no difference If the
county commissioner had moved out of
his district, as he was still a resident of
the county and a do facto official.

Water Users Gain
Measure of Relief
from Government
(From a Staff Correspondent)
'LINCOLN. July 21. (Special.)-Deputy
Auditor Minor, who comes from tho irri
gated district of northwest Nebraska,
has been endeavoring for some time to
get somo concessions from the govern
ment In tho payment of water rights by
users of government water and at last
the effort has been successful, accord
ing to advices received from Socrctary
B. J. Segar, secretary of the North
Platto Water Users' association. Mr.
Segar says:
Under date of July 17 a wire was re
ceived from tho department stating that
water will be furnished for the balance
of the IrrlKatlnc season of 1313 whether
1913 maintenance Is paid or nut, but that
a penalty of 1 cent per acre per month
win ins charged until paid, ihih pcnatiy
will amount to less than $4 per eighty If
tho same Is left unpaid until December,
at which time most crops will have been
marketed. This will be of great benefit
to many o Itho runners.
A further concessions was ruodc to tho
settlors by a recent public ontlec which
provided that those who have paid all
operation and maintenance charges duo
before December 1 ,1913, need pay but
one-third of the 12 per acre building
charge that will become delinquent De
cember 1, 1913. or about 70 cents per acre.
Tho effect of this will be that many
who would be unable to pay the 91.10 per
acre maintenance plus tho 12 per acre
building charge, or a total of $3.10 per
acre, will bo able to pay the 11.10 plus
4 cents penalty and 70 cents building
charge, or a total of $1.71 per acre.
Aonlher small measure ot roller granted
by the same notice Is allowing a water
user who has, by reason of conflicting
rulings In tho past, or a reduction of hl
irrigated area, heen compelled to over
pay his building chargo to use toward
paying his maintenance whatever credit
ho may have left nfter paying his 70
cents. Heretofore one might have $200
overpayment on his building charge ac
count ana still nave his lieaagates shut
down for nonpayment of $100 for main
tenance. Thero is ample water supply under tho
government canal and can be no short
age, wnen twenty years aro given to
rt-pay uncic aam, tne residence restric
tion Is removed and water rights arc
granted to Individuals for all tho lands
they may acquire, Nebraska will have
the greatest and most successful Irri
gated section In tho United States.
Fire Destroys
Fremont Elevator
FREMONT, Neb., July 21.-(Speclal.)-The
old elevator south of tho Union de
pot and tho north row of sheds of tho
Consolidated Fuel company burned Sun
day morning. Fire was discovered on
the roof of the shed next to tho elevator
about 9:30 and Is presumed to have caught
from a passing train. Aided by a. north
wind it spread rapidly down the line of
sheds, .several of which, were filled with
coal. The elevator, "Which was empty and
had not been used for years, belonged to
an Omaha company and Is a total loss.
The loss uf the. fuel compnny is hard to
estimate. It will probably run about
$3;O0O and is' covered by Insurance. Their
offlco was badly damaged, but the books
were saved.
Tile' carpenters employed on tho new
high school building struck Saturday af
ternoon. . They had been drawing CO cents

Tom Majors Named
Upon Normal Board
by the Governor
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 21. (Speclal.)-Gov-ernor
Morehead this mornlnif appointed
Thomasa J. Majors of Peru 'to tlio
vacancy on the normal board caused by
the expiration of the term ot N. P. Mc
Donald of Kearney, who refused to servo
longer. The governor In giving his rea
sons for appointing Colonel' Majors Buys;
The position cnrrleB no salary and It
requires more or less sacrifice on the
patt of any man to suitably fill tho posi
tion. Colonel Majors has sho'rn his
wllllngnepa In the past, to make this
racrlflco and now that wo have four
normal schools In the state. It becomes
more nnd mpro necessary thnt the mem
bers of tho board be o situated, finan
cially nnd otherwise that they may dc
vote a good deal of tlmo to their official
duties.
I may say. too. thnt-I took Into ac
count that ho Is a veteran of the civil
war nnd that a great many of his Grand
Army or trie uepumio comrades were
urging his selection. He was also en
dorsed, not alone by the old soldiers and
many prominent republicans, but a great
many of tho most active, Imrd-workinR
democrats railed in person to urge hit
selection, while many others sent me
letters and telegrams and I feel that 1
am warranted in laying aside party con
sideration and putting him on this board.

W. I. Walker, owner of a large cattle
ranch In South Dakota west of the Mis

ers. Is just in from Texas, where he went
to "buy 'a bunch of steers for the range.
From 'Wjchlta, Kan., south a,U the way
through the state, through Oklahoma
and down into Texas, Mr. Walker found
conditions mos critical. Back from the
Missouri river for 100 miles or so in Kan
sas corn Is In good condition, but from
there on and to the south It has been
completely burned out and destroyed by
the hot winds. Ho Is of the opinion that
In tho west half or Kans.is and Oklahoma
tho crop will be a total failure.
The wheat crop ot Kansas from thn
central part of the state west was fairly
good, but nothing in comparison with
that of Nebraska, It having been Injured
by dry weather during tho early part of
the season.

Do Not Propose to Lose Their Pres
tige Without a Fight
WILL PROTEST THIS MARKET
Serve Notice nn the Honda thnt They
Will llraent Their SrndlnK fun
to lie I.onded In Omnhn
Grain Men's Territory.
Jealous ot Omaha nnd realising that it
has grown to bo a dangerous competitor,
Chicago nnd Minneapolis have, combined
to destroy It as a grain market Whetho."
they can do so remains to bo seen. At
any rate beforo accomplishing their pur
poso they will be given n bnttlo that will
not only Involve one but all of tho rail
roads having connections In the two cities
that have Instigated tho fight.
By leaps and bounds Omaha has boon
gaining on Chicago and Minneapolis us
a great grain market Much ot tho grain
bought on tho Omnha grain exchange has
been reconslgncd to the big firms of
tho two cities, but n much larger portion
has gone to Duluth. to New York, New
Orleans nnd Galveston for export nnd to
the mills of tho big flour manufacturing
centers.
Chicago and Minneapolis grain men
hnvo noted this fact, nnd during the last
six months nearly all of them have es
tablished branch houses here. Not satis
fied with tho Uant!tle of wheat that
they have been getting since the new
grain commenced coming to market they
havo opened buying stnttons In dorens
of the towns within 100 miles or so of
Omaha, where they havo located shovel
houses, made buying arrangements with
independent elevators for handling whent
or bought on platforms. The grain so
bought has been shipped direct to Clilcaxo
nnd Minneapolis And has not passed
through the Omaha elevators.
Notice In Served.
Omaha grain men have no desire to
control tho grain trade of Nebraska and
Omaha territory, yet they feet that so
long as they nre paying Chlongo nnd
Minneapolis pi-Ices, freight lidded, they
hnve a right to secure as niuch business
as they can, so long as they nre pursuing
legitimate mothods. With this end 4n
view, they havo served notice on tho rail
roads operating between Omaha and
Chicago and Omaha and Minneapolis, thnt
if they continue to send co.rs out Into the
country1 around Omaha to bo loaded with
grain to be shipped direct to the two
markets named, there will be some re
taltatlon. The Omaha grain men do not prnposo to
levy a boycott, but they do propose to
withdraw their patronage from all of the
Omaha and Chlcngo and Minneapolis lines
that are working against the Omaha
grain market.
Omaha grain men say that no matter
what steps Chicago nnd Minneapolis may
take, they cannot destroy the market
here, though they may reduce Its Impo"
tnnce by reducing tho receipts. They add
thnt the market has become so firmly ta
tabllshed nnd so thoroughly known the
world over, that Jt will, continue to buy
wheat, paying top prices and sending It
to New Orleans, New York nnd Europe
and to the mills of this country.
