DIETRICH TALKS IRRIGATION
Says New Law viii Be Of Inoalculable
Benefit to Nebraska.
WILL BEtNe MANY SETTLERS WESTWARD
Announces that Between Five and
six Million Dollars Already
Awaits Disbursement on
Reservoirs and Canals.

Senator Charles II. Dietrich arrived in the
city from Washington yesterday and was q
guest at the home of DR.. W. II. Hanchett.
He left last evening for Lincoln, where
he will stop briefly before going to his
home at Hastings. His daughter, Gertrude,
who has been with him in Washington, will
spend the summer months at a watering
place in the Adirondack in the hope OF
benehting her health, which has not been
robust.
Senator Dietrich, speaking Of the irriga-
tion bill. which recently became a law, said:
Having lived in the west for so many
years l knew the Importance and practical
bility Of irrigation and at once after my
election began working TO bring about a
compromise between the two factions into
which the friends OF this great enterprise
were divided. One Of these factions wanted
the general government to defray the ex-
pense of building the reservoirs and canals
and to have general management OF all the
details Of the undertaking.; the other
wanted the money to be disbursed by the
states, each state to have control Of the
work within its own territory.
I'm May a year ago l arranged for a
meeting OF western senator's and congress-
men and submitted to them a plan which
was afterward accepted. It was, in brief,
that the general government construct the
reservoirs and canals and retain ownership
OF them, but that the water be distributed
under the state laws. The irrigation bill,
which has Just become a law, is drawn up
along this line and embodies virtually all
the ideas 1 advanced at the meeting. II Is
said by old members Of congress who have
examined 1t that a more complete bill
never came up for their consideration.
Probable Eject of Law.
THE effect Of this irrigation legislation
is already being seen In the greatly in
creased number of people who are looking
to the west for homes instead Of going to
Canada, as the tendency was a year ago.
1t is too early yet to say just when and
where the first reservoirs and canals will
be built, but there is no reason why some
thing tangible in this line should not be
done within the next twelve months. since
there is, or will be, plenty Of money avail
able for the purpose. The revenue for the
enterprise will be derived from the sale of
public lands and between 5000. 900 and
Sc, 900, 900 already awaits disbursement.
1T is an interesting fact that all eastern
senator's and congressman, without an ex-
ception, opposed this irrigation bill at the
start, and some fought It to the end. 1t
Is an evidence that the east Is Jealous of
the west. Congressman Grosvenor said 1t
was a railroad scheme, to enhance the
value Of railroad land, forgetting, evil
IDENTIFY, that every alternate section IN
these great public domains belongs to the
government, and that the railroad land
could not be improved without improving
the government land"

SELLING ARGUMENT.

Advertising means selling
argument. Years back
when men stuck signs in the
newspapers just as they stick
signs today along country
roads, advertising meant
attracting attention. But the
term has broadened. The
writer of today must do more
that attract attention-he
must hold it. He must tell
all about his store and his
stores stock. He must let
the customer know to the
exactest detail what is for
sale. He must fulfill the
functions of a clerk and
write about the goods he
wants to sell just as a bright
salesman would talk. He
must be brief, because he
has lots to tell. His talks
Eust be to the point, because
space is valuable and talk
is dear. H. Kaufman.

Prices are the factors that clinci,

Advertising is as much a dis
