COURT TO SETTLE IT
START ACTION TO DETERMINE
WATER APPROPRIATIONS.
HAPPENINGS OVER THE STATE
What Is Going on Here and There
That is Of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout Nebraska
and Vicinity.

Gering, Ncb.--The most important
court action involving irrigation rights
that the courts of Nebraska have ever
been called on to settle was initiated
here when attorneys for the Enter.
rrise irrigation district filed a suit in
district court this week, the object
OF which is to determine the priority
OF water appropriations from the
North Platte river OF the Tri-State
Land company as against some fifteen
other irrigation companies OF the
North Platte valley.
The plaintiffs petition alleges that
the Tri-State company Is claiming
water right of 1,1i2 cubic feet per
second. or enough to irrlgate about
10000 acres of land, and is preparing
to build a dam across the river for
the purpose of diverting this amount
OF water. This claim, the plaintiff
asserts, Is unfounded. The plaintiff
maintains that the Tri.State Land
company has never acquired a right
to appropriate from said river any
amount Of water whatsoever, except
a sufficient amount to irrigate about
1000 acres OF land, or twenty.eight
cubic feet OF water per second OF
time
The plaintiff company alleges that
the average flow OF the river during
the latter half Of July and the entire
month OF August, which is the height
OF the irrigation season, is only S75
cubic feet. or considerably less than
the Tri.State company claims as It's
own, thus depriving all the other
bitches of any water at all in case
the TriState company's claim should
be upheld by the courts.

GREAT AMOUNT COTTON
STORED AT ALACHUA

Hustling Alachua. which is one of
the best little cities in the county. and
which is considered the best cotton
market in Eastern Florida, is Just
at the present time well stocked with
cotton, which tho people are holding
Tor better prices,
Although the acreage was fully a.
large as II has been ih former years,
the yield has not been one-thlrd
This makes a great difference in the
cotton situation and the two large
ginneries located at that point have
had only about half Of their time oc-
cupied in ginning the staple.
There are now upwards Of some az
teen hundred bales of cotton stored
in that section, and The farmers who
are wise to the fact that suta a short
crop exists are holding for better
prices, while some cf the smaller
planters are disposing OF the same
and have received satisfactory prices.
A number Of outside buyers have
been there and have made prices on
the cotton submitted, but the largest
buyer in the place. who probably
handles more than anyone else. Is c.
A, Williams. and he stated to the re.
porter that he HAD purchased aud paid
for something like SlO,OUO worth OF
cotton during the past few days, but
all OF this was not confined to
Alachua.
The Consolidated Glmery. which Ia
a plant fully as large as any TO be
found IN the State. and the other gin.
merry there are both fully able TO han.
tie all of the output and the manner
In which they handle the cotton has
made II bring lnore IN the lint, for
they are noted for the long staple
that their gins produce,
