The proposition to form an irrigation district
Of the territory now covered by the North
Loup Irrigation and Improvement company's
canal with the addition of lands lying lower
down the river, In Greeley county, which
was voted on yesterday, was defeated by a
vote of 81 against &c. The strong opposition
which eliminated in the defeat of the prop
osition was largely owing to the lack OF a
definite understanding between the Valley
and Greeley county residents OF the proposed
district but number of other causes were
also present which created a lack of har-
mony in the movement. At meeting held
OF Saturday evening at the town hall to
discuss the situation the most rabid op-
posers of the district movement expressed
themselves freely as to their unqualified be-
lief In irrigation, as such, but multitude Of
objections were advanced against alleged i'm
perfections in the district law, chief among
which was that no limit appears to be set
to the amount OF bonds which may be voted
to carry out the contemplated improvements
aud also no limit Is set to the number of
days the board of directors provided by the
statute may serve, thus placing the farmers
largely at the mercy OF bhe management.
