oldest inhabitant has there been such
a quiet summer socially in Lincoln. as
the one just closing and, one might
add, SO cool a summer. which makes
the unusual quiet difiicult to explain.
IL is not that more people than usual
are out of town, for the reverse Is
true. The members of the Country
Club have had some gayeties. but the
others. and they are many, have sub
sided. September will bring several
weddings. and the shadows of other
coming events are being dimly out
lined.

The following editorial from the Wo-

valuable suggestion which club women
might well follow:
"One must first have a love for a
subject If he would come to anytrue
of it. The proposition
sounds simple, and is old enough i'm all
yet one sees a tremendous
waste of energy among women simply
because they refuse to take this into
The majority of wo-
mems clubs seem to think that they
can obtain a knowledge of a subject
by merely laying out a course of read

ence of the French Drama on the
Drama of the Restoration is given to
a lady who never heard of Congreve,
and who could not tell whether he lived
at the time of Shakespeare or before.

To those who are on the fringe of
society friendly recognition from one

sense Of achieved ambition that is
gratifying; but to those who, content
with their excellent social position out

set, do not care to struggle to be other

and bred-such distinctions mean alb

A little girl was spending the sum-
mer at a fashionable watering place.
and one morning as she played upon
the verandah of the hotel where her
mother was stopping she heard a
lengthy conversation upon the fashions
of the day and the absolute necessity
of stylishness in dress IL one hoped
to be a success in society. One lady
went so far as to say that stylishness
was far more important than beauty.
That night as the child said her US
ual prayer she added with great earn
estness, "And, o dear Lord, do please
make me stylish."-July Lippincott's

Report of Irrigation Investiga-
tons for 1900" Parts I, 2, 8, and 4,
published by the Irrigation Bureau
of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
The report deals with the meas

in Texas, Arizona, California, Ne
vada, Utah, Nebraska, Wyoming,
Idaho, Montana and Washington
thus covering the whole of the
so-called laird west" The effect
of seepage in the canals and ditch
es is quantitively shown, and the
remedies fully described. The
bearing of irrigation laws upon the
use of water is also dwelt upon in
parts of the report. The publica-
ton should be of special interest
at this time when the use of water
is so freely discussed. The report
will be sent free to all those writ

NEVADA.

A MEETING was held in Craig's
Hall last Saturday evening which
was pretty generally attended by
the water consumers of this sec
ton, the purpose OF the meeting
being the DISCUSSION of the water
question and what action ought to
be taken by the ditch owners in
this valley who have been made
defendants in the big Miller & Lux
water suit. From what we have
learned about the meeting the de-
PENDANTS in the big suit stand just
about where they did before they
met, SO far as any concerted plan
of action is concerned, in making
answer to the complaint in the
case. Some of the ditch compa-
mics have employed counsel in the
case and are preparing to test the
matter in the courts while others
have as yet made no move in the
matter. The date set for hearing
is rapidly drawing nigh, and those
who desire to prevent their rights
going by default have only a few
more days of grace. 1t has been
asserted that Miller & Lux, in the
complaint made by them, are ask
ing for more water than runs in
the Walker River at any season of
the year. This is hardly proba-
BILE, as such claim would at once
prejudice plaintiffs case. 1t would
be more reasonable to suppose
that a correct estimate had not
been made of the water claimed.
However this may be, the defend
ants should none of them fail to
be represented in court on the day
set. After this more time can be
obtained, and this time could be
used by defendants to get together
and pool their issues. We should
judge that, by concerted action,
they could procure data which
would show just when every ditch
was taken out, how much water
it carried, how much was appro-
priated, how many acres were and
are irrigated, and whether the
water has been used continuously
and conservatively or not. With
this data they could approach Mil
Ter & Lux on some basis of settle
ment out of court. This failing,
the data would be ready for i'm
mediate presentation to the court
for review, and a decision could
be rendered very soon. Lawyers
might not approve of this method
as it would knock many of them
out of good fat fees. But the law
yers' interest in this case should
not be the prime one to be consid-
cred by the defendants.
