Irrigation topics will no doubt be pur-
sued with renewed fervor by the people
of Nebraska, following the late period of
drouth and hot winds TIE chief obsta-
Gle that stands in the way of vast and
successful system of irrigation covering
extensive regions seems to be that of
lack of water supply. It is recognized
that the streams tributary to this region
do not carry a volume of water at all
commensurate with the needs Of the
country for irrigation purposes upon a
large scale. Whether or not it would be
practicable to undertake to conserve the
waters of these running streams by the
construction of huge reservoirs along
their courses that could be made to catch
and retain their surplus waters until
needed for watering the fields during the
cropping season is, in our opinion, one
of the most important features Of the ir-
rigating problem. During the fall and
winter immense volumes Of water are
thus discharged from one water course
to another and carried on to the gulf
without efecting any good, so far as their
presence in the watering Of the soil is
concerned. The possible full use Of these
waters, it would seem, would go a long
way toward making possible and practi-
cable that complete system of irrigation
that as yet only exists in the desires and
hopes of the people. This is view of
the situation that should command the
attention of legislators, and the newspa-
pers Of the state can be of great service
in rejecting the course of public opinion
upon this and other kindred matters.

An Untimely End.

The death of George L. Etter, at an
early hour, Wednesday morning, after a
lingering illness, is one of the saddest
visitations of the Grim DESTROYER that
McCook has ever received. Clever and
popular, in the prime and flush of young
manhood, George Etter has been cut
down. The deceased has been resident
of our city for number of years, and
has acquired a large circle of friends,
who with the family are inexpressibly
shocked at his untimely death.
Private services were conducted at the
Commercial House, over which the de-
ceased had presided successfully fo
years, at $50 O'Clock Thursday morning,
by Rev. Frank Durant of the Episcopal
church. Funeral took place immedi-
ately afterward, interment being made
in Longview cemetery.
The bereaved mother, sister and broth
ers have the very tenderest sympathy of
this community in this deep and sad
afaiction.
A number of beautiful floral offerings
were laid on the casket, tributes from
friends.
There were number of commercial
men among the pail bearers. The de-
ceased was a prime favorite with the
travelling public.
John Etter, brother from Neosho,
Missouri, arrived on Wednesday night,
to attend the funeral.

The Meeker Ditch.

we enjoyed the drive puts it mildly.

Nebraska Knights Pytt1ias are having
no end of trouble in arranging to attend
the national gathering at Washington,
D. c., which is to occur during the pres
ent month. The trouble all comes from
the refusal of railroads to give rates suit
able to the transportation committee
It is difficult for committeeman to find
out why rate lower than one fare can
not be obtained Such a rate has been
offered, but the time is limited to fifteen
days, which is entirely too short to suit
the Knights. Eastern roads say the
western roads are not willing to give in,
while the officials of western roads lay it
all on the two lines east of Chicago. In

Some small boys and few matches
caused w. H. Brown and c. H. Jacobs
to lose all the small buildings in the
rear of their respective dwellings in the
northwestern part of the city, Tuesday,
shortly after noon. The buildings were
practically destroyed by the time the fire
department arrived. It was long and
hot run for the boys. But, hotwithstand-
ing the light water pressure, the fire was
easily confined to the buildings describ-
ed. Such pressure would have avai1ed
little had the fire been in structure of
any considerable size.

Irrigation by means of windmills has
progressed far beyond the experimental
stage at Garden City, Kansas. The farm
ers have found this method of getting
water more satisfactory and certain than
from the river, and new mills and reser-
voirs are now going up. The effect can
be seen to be marvellous even from the
car windows as one travels across that
district. East of Garden City the ground
is bare and brown. West of there it is
even more bare and yet browner In
and around Garden City is a garden,
and windmill irrigation is the thing that
has been mainly instrumental in re-
claiming the desert.-State Journal.
