tant Conference in Washington.

Washington, Jan. IA conference
oming was held Thursday in the rooms
of reclamation service of the geological
survey, being participated In by Sen
ator Dietrich. ex-senator Henderson.
Representatives Norris. Mccarthy and
Hitchcock, F. II. Newell, the chief OF
the reclamation service; John Field.
engineer in charge of the North Platte
investigation in Nebraska and Wyo-
ming, and b. A. Fowler of Arizona.
The conference has relation to the
Pathfinder p~rojet:, which conteniplates
the storage of the flood and surplus
waters of the North Platte river in an
immense reservoir, which will be made
by constructing a high dam in a mar
row canon of the river about fifty miles
above Casper in Wyoming. The water
thus stored will be allowed to run down
the channel of the stream in the irri,
CATION season and then diverted to the
channels and bitches.
The annual discharge of the river is
approximately 1900, 900 acre feet and
the reservoir will be capable of hold
ing all the surplus floods. This reser.
voir will serve a double purpose. 1t
will eliminate for all time the destruc
tive floods of the streams, n will
furnish an abundant and perpetual wa
ter supply for the vast area Of land
NOW desert and almost worthless. The
canal system required for this project
will be the longest in the United
States, the main canal having a total
Length of 14O miles n supplying
lands In two states-Wyoming and Ne
braska. The reclamation area has not
been finally ascertained, but present
surveys indicate a total of 10000
acres that can be easily supplied. $780,
900 in each state.
AS in the Ease of the government
projects. complications of prior rights
and private ownership have been en-
co%untered, some of these interests be
ing exceedingly powerful and dispos
ed to obstruct the progress Of work.
The citizens Of both states. almost
without an exception, are urging the
government to proceed and it Is be-
Ilieved, in view of the attitude of the
public. that these complications will
be removed In a short time.
The lands to be reclaimed are OF
great fertility and adapted to a wide
variety of products. Above the canal
line and extending for many miles in
both states is a vast range furnishing
grazing for thousands Of cattle.

CAN'T BE
Some Laramie People Have Learned
To Get Rid Of Both.

Backache and kidney ache are twin

You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the back
ache until you cure the kidney ache.

the rest of the system is pretty sure
to be in vigorous health.

living in Colorado Springs some two
years ago l made my first acquaintance
with Doan's Kidney Pills and they
proved to be fully up to representa-

STATE PRESS COMMENT.
Keep It Open at Night

Keep II open at Night
The Young Mems Literary society of
Cheyenne is urging the trustees of the
Carnegie library in the Capital city to
open the building to the public in the
evenings and on Sunday afternoons.
1t is meet and proper and almost nee
essary, that the library should be op'
en- on the hours mentioned, and more
especially at this time, when the leg
islature is in session. There will be
but few night sessions of the legisla-
ture and the members from out OF
town will find 1t rather dull down there
with even the library closed against
them. 1t has been intimated that there
were places in Cheyenne which kept
open at nights. but it is now under
stood that the stern and relentless
mayor has issued the edict that these
must close from 2 o'clock a. m. until
d a. m. With the closed season of
forty days staring them in the face.
in the future we fear it will be a DIFF
ficult matter TO get men to represent
us in the coming sessions of the legis'
lature.-Casper Tribune.

not license gambling under any guise,
whether it be q lottery or pool selling
on horse races. Tho pernicious eff.

THE WATER RIGHT DECISION

The decision Of our state supreme
court in the now famous Horse creek
case has caused NO n OF comment
and much Of an adverse nature. 1t
has been held by those who criticise
the court decision that 1t will cause
endless litigation and so complicate
the keeping Of records OF water rights
that no settled condition can possibly
be reached. They urge that water
rights secured for the benefit of state
lands will b. bAftered away before
leases expire and that desert lands
may be proved mp In m endless chain
fashion by the transfer oil a water
right from q piece Of land to an
other.
1t is the view Of The Republican that
NO alarm need be caused by the deci-
sion of the suprome court. A careful
reading of the opinion leads one to the
conclusion that NO other logical re-
suit could possibly have been reached.
1t is in line with the universal judg-
ment of the courts Of the land. The
same question has been passd upon
eyeral times by the courts of the arid
region and it has been decided the
same way in every cas- In 1894 Jus
