RIVERS OF STATE
AWAITHARNESS
Prof. O. E. Condra Tells Tech
nical Club of Many Possi
bilities in Nebraska.
MILLIONS OF WATER POWER
"There is a possibility of discover
ing oil in Nebraska, but the most
promising source of energy is found
in the waters of the rivers. I am for
conserving the wasted waters of this
state. When one thinks that our riv
ers are capable of generating about
2,000,000 horsepower in energy and
that this power is being wasted, it is
no wonder that half a hundred hydro
electric projects have been promoted."
Prof. G. E. Condra, president of
the National Conservation congress,
and head of the geography and con
servation department at the Univer
sity of Nebraska, was addressing the
members of the Technical club last
evening at the Paxton on "The De
velopment of Water Power Resources
in Nebraska," when he summed up the
state's potent possibilities in the fore
going language.
State Commerce Raw.
"Nebraska is commerce raw," he
added. "Although we raise corn,
wheat, alfalfa and some cattle, we do
not manufacture the raw material into
finished products."
With 3,000 feet of film he carried
the audience around the state, show
ing its rivers and power projects, here
and there.
The three rivers with greatest re
sources are the Blue, Niobrara and
the Loops, said Pro! Condra. As he
navigated the Blue and passed by Mil
ford, Beatrice and Fairbury he showed
that this stream had been developed
more than the others. The respective
towns are using the river for generat
ing electricity and running mills. The
cheapest electricity is being gener
ated at Juanita Falls.
"The Niobrara is the best water
power stream not . regarding its near
ness to population, continued the
speaker.
Niobrara Lies Waiting.
"It has a constant Sow and has a
capacity of from 800 to 2,000 second
feet. This river has not been utilized
yet, bat it could furnish power to
operate interurbans and electrify its
surrounding country. Owing to the
fact that it flows through sparsely
settled country it is doubtful whether
much money would be invested in its
development at the present time.
"The largest hydro-electric plant in
the state has been constructed at Boe
lns, where the water of the Middle
Loup is conducted through a canal to
the Sooth Loup thereby developing
2,500 horsepower."
"There is abundant work for the
engineer," the speaker told club mem
bers of his audience.
West Leavenworth Club
... Opposes Light Contract
West Leavenworth Improvers last
night at a meeting in Woodmen hall
adopted a resolution declaring against
the proposed lighting contract for the
city and instructing their delegates to
the united clubs to vote against the
proposition. R. J. Sutton declared the
contract was not needed and was un
fair and intended to head off munci
pal ownership.
The club members were wrathy in
the extreme at the city authorities for
collecting for grading the alley be
tween Fifty-second and ' Fifty-third
streets two years ago and not doing
the work.
: Sixty-fire members attended the
meeting.

cough, stops the troublesome throat

NEBRASKA WINS
IRRIGATION FIGHT
Federal Court at Denver Rules
State Lines Do Not Affec
Priority Bights.
COLORADO TO APPEAL CASE
Denver, Colo., Nov. 21. (Special
Telegram.) A decision affecting
Colorado and Nebraska water rights,
far reaching in its effect, was handed
down today by the United States cir
cuit court of appeals.
The decision held that state lines
do not affect the question of priority
of water rights and the contention
of the state of Colorado that junior
appropriators in this state , have
priority over senior appropriators in
adjoining states fails.
The court of appeals sustained
Judge Lewis and upheld every con
tention made by Edwin H. Park, at
torney for the Pioneer Irrigation
company, as to state rights in water
controversies. The decision says that
the filings first in time are first in
right regardless of state lines. The
Pioneer Irrigation company serves Its
customers both in Colorado and Ne
braska, taking the water from the
Republican river, an interstate
stream.
Colorado insisted that the Ne
braska senior claimants for water
were not entitled to water until Colo
rado junior appropriators had been
cared for. The decision will have a
material effect on the suit now pend
ing between Colorado and Wyoming
involving interstate water rights.
The Pioneer Irrigation company
made the state engineer and the
Water commission of Colorado the
defendants. The state appeared
through Attorney General Farrar.
It is likely that the case will be
carried to the supreme coort of the
United States by the state.
