LAND VALUES WILL INCREASE.

The advantages of irrigation in west
ern Kansas are shown by the experience
of MIR. Zimmerman, Of Cheyenne county,
who paid $1,000 for a water right for
100 acres of land, 100 acres of which
he put into alfalfa. From this 100
acres he cut 600 tons Of hay, which he
sold for Sc per ton. Allowing onc-half
for expenses and $1,000 for water right,
the transaction Melted him $500 the first
year and $500 the second year. He
was offered $50 per acre for this land,
but refused to take it. He says that
land in Cheyenne county will be worth
$50 per acre as soon as it is properly
irrigated, which he says a be done at
a cost of 5000 to $500 per quarter Sec
tion.-IrriyatiOn Age.

PEORIA CAPITAL.

The enemies of the South Side Irri-
cation Ditch are industriously seeking
to injure the proposition to vote bonds
by circulating the statement that the
Lincoln Land Co. are backing MI. G. H.
Meeker. THE TRIBUNE is authorized
to state that the money which Mr..
Meeker has secured, after a TWO years
canvas, is private Peoria capital loaned
to Mr.. Meeker.

NOT so, GOOD MAN.

at will take five years for western
Nebraska to recover from the evil ef-
fects of the years advertising east"
says the Hastings Democrat. But our
friend evidently did not have the pos
sibilit,es of irrigation in mind when ar
irving at the above conclusion. THE
TRIBUNE believes there are enough
miles of irrigating bitches now under
construction in western Nebraska to
enable us to regain everything lost,
within two years at least. Besides
placing this section on IA permanent,
sure highway to prosperity.

A sturdy, rustling granger is Jim
Wright of Red Willow precinct. And if
hard ticks count for anything, he will
come out on top, this year. Himself
and boys have in $50 acres of corn, 100
of cane, and still they are not satisfied.
Here's luck to Jim Wright and his
nervy boys.
II want to pull a grain, vegetable or
stock special occasionally" is the sensi-
BILE reason given by an engineer for his
determination to vote for the bonds.
He might have added that he wanted
to be able to buy cheaper vegetables
and feed. Both are correct.

COMFORT AKD STYLE.

Both comfort and style are desirable.
Indeed when the matter of selecting a
livery rig is concerned, they are abso-
lutte necessities. The Circle Front
Livery Stable make these a study, and
together with their prompt and courte-
Gus treatment and reasonable charges
they offer every advantage possible to
the public. Their new surrey is the
acme of comfort and elegance.

1t is advanced that the farmers of
the north side of the precinct will not
be benefited by the South Side ditch.
Suppose the proposed ditch had heen
in operation last season, would not the
money the north side farmer would
have saved in the price paid for hay
and grain raised at home, over the price
paid for the same articles shipped in,
more than have paid their increased
taxes for the year? The difference in
transportation alone WOULD MORE THAN
PAY the increase in taxes. Besides
the ditch will create values; will double
the value of land under it; and will not
the taxes on this land be proportion
ately higher? Judging the coming ten
years from the past ten years, the
establishment of a community of farm
ers in our midst who can raise a crop,
drouth or no drouth, would be a clean
profit to even farmers on the uplands,
five years out of ten.

BONDS ARE NECESSARY.

The report is being passed around by
those who are interested in the defeat
of the irrigation bonds that the ditch
will be built anyhow, bonds or no bonds.
In all interview with Mr.. Meeker, this
week, he states hat the ditch cannot be
built without the aid asked for.

a STRANGE COINCIDENCE.

Farmers, is it not a strange coinci-
dence that the most active opponents
of the irrigation bonds in McCook are
the same people who profited by your
distress, last fall, and bought up the
stock necessity compelled you to sell,
at their own price; and a beggardly
price it was at that. Is it not just a
trife strange?

Had the South Side ditch been in

they had not feed enough to keep them
alive during the winter.

There are good and sufficient reasons
why the laboring man should vote in
favor of aiding the ditch project, to-
morrow. In the construction of bitches
labor is a large item. 1t will give
him work. Even if he be so fortunate
as to have a little home in our midst
his increase in taxes will be very small
indeed, and the advantage of cheaper
vegetables and fruits will more than
Offset this. Not only will labor be
necessary in construction; but in carry
ing smaller bitches (laterals) over the
farms to be irrigated, in planting and
harvesting the crops there will be an
increased demand. Furthermore the
placing of that number of thousand
dollars of foreign capital in circulation
will stimulate every other branch of
trade and labor.
