The North Platte Valley.

To one who has never lived in 81
irrigated section this irrigation farm
ing Is certainly very interesting and .
few words in regard to the irrigated
lands here in the North Platte Valley
may likewise be interesting to others
First OF all, the fact should be EN-
phasized that this region can nc
longer be referred to as the wild and
woody West. It 10 indeed Q very pro.
gressive, up-to-date and well-settled
community. The Burlington railroad
runs up into Wyoming on the north
side of the North Platte river and
there are progressive towns and
villages every eight Or ten miles.
Scott's bluff and Mitchell which are
about eight miles apart are located in
the center of the irrigated section, the
former Boosting of 1900 inhabitants
while the latter has about 800. All OF
the other towns in the valley have
from 100 to 500 Inhabitants.
Irrigation farming in this valley
dates back about 20 years, when far
mers went together and constructed .
few small canals, taking the water out
of the North Platte river during sum-
mer and distributing it over their
farms. Later on capitalists came in
and built more canals while farmers
organized and also built several more.
Finally the Reclamation Service, upon
request from the representative OF this
district, came in and made prelimi-
nary surveys for the purpose OF ex-
tending the irrigation works over a
very much larger area. Once begun,
this project was pushed ahead thru
the hearty support Of all farmers
owning land in the proposed ;rriga-
tion area and the big Pathfinder dam
was constructed in Wyoming which
dams up the water so that very great
lake or reservoir is formed. This
reservoir fills up during winter and
spring from mountain streams and
melting SHOWS. Then during the
growing season it is gradually
to flow into the big irrigation
canal which distributes the water to
of farms.
This huge dam, the canal, the
secondary canals or laterals and all
the other construction work are
ex ecuted in q most durable manner
and built to last Everything is of
reinforced concrete. The government
work is far ahead of that
of all the other irrigation works in
this valley.
The expense of this construction
work runs into the millions and the
farmers Will pay for it all, each farmer
being assessed his share, computed

Accidentally shot in the Face.

AID unfortunate accident occurred
Sunday noon at John Holm's place
between here and Cambria. About
ten young men started out on hunt
ing trip Sunday forenoon, and on
reaching Holm's farm, went into one
of the shanties for q rest. Herman
Adam, one of the party, remained out
side for the purpose of cleaning his
gun. In the act OF taking out shell,
it exploded and the shots went thru
the boards of the shanty, striking
Norman Anderson in the face. One OF
his cheeks was badly perforated by the
metal and two shots penetrated
through the wind pipe. The unfortu-
nate young man was Immediately
taken to the local hospital, where be
was put under medical care. Accor'
ding to latest reports, he is out OF dam
ger and will recover in short time.
There is no particular blame attached
to any one of the party for this sad
and most of all Mr. Adam
feels deeply grieved over the affair.

1.-THE COW AND THE NOON
Turner Theatre Offering for
Sunday Evening, October Goth.
Merry Musical Extravaganza
With Mass Of Startling Scenic
Effects.

With the idea OF sdhering to the
high standard set by ''Three Twins''
on the opening night Of New Ulm's
leading playhouse, the Turner Theatre
will offer on Sunday evening, October
Goth, one of the latest of the brand
new successes in the musical extrava.
CANA field, ''The Cow and the
Moon"
Carleton Lee Colby has provided
the music and lyrics for the unique
production and there are said to be
no less than sixteen swinging musical
numbers, all clever and enhanced by
the efforts of q well-trained singing
and dancing chorus of much beauty
and charm. Among the numbers that
have proved to be popular hits may
be mentioned Bridal Bells," ''They
All Look Alike to Mabel" "In Sevil-
la "The Oozy, Oozy Man." IF
They Were All as Nice as You" and
cts just the Same Old Story" The
chorus is beautifully costumed and
appears in a dozen different changes.
There are also sixteen scenic dis
plays of riotous color and gorgeous
hue, ranging from scenes in this
beautiful land of ours as seen from
the moon to scenes on the moon as
viewed from the earth. Every advan-
tage of splendor has been taken ad-
vantage of and there is SO much in
the way of startling and novel effects
that force of twenty stage hands is
required in the shifting of the scenes.
Edwin Gilmore, the eccentric come
dian, heads the company OF more than

Bess Taft, statuesque Maude Amanda

cipal aides.

A New Catholic Congregation.

At meeting held last Sunday after.
noon preparatory steps were taken
for the organization of second
Catholic church in New Ulm. The
organization will be known as s'The
Church Of st. Mary" and the follow
ing are mentioned % the in.corpora.
tors: Bres., Archbishop John Ire
land; let Vice Pres, Bishop John j.
Lawler; End Vice Pres, Rev. r.
Schlinkert; sec., John Bartl; treas,
Math. Eichten. In all probability the
church will be erected on lots located
on the east side of Minnesota street
and 9Th south. An option on seven
lots in that locality has already been
secured.
The division line between the new
and the old congregation will be Gen.
ter street. All members Of the present
congregation living south of Center
street are expected to become members
OF the new organization.
The detail work of organizing the
congregation and erecting the new
church edifice is vested with the local
board Of trustees composed OF Rev. r.
Schlinkert, Math. Eichten and John
Bartel. This Board is assisted by an
advisory board composed of J. A.
Ochs, Jos. Flor and John Floettl.
The steps taken by the members of
the Holy Trinity Catholic church are
partly the result of the wishes OF Arch
bishop Ireland, which that church
expressed during his recent
visit in New Ulm.
It is not likely that the work of
building the church will be commenced
this year, it is expected, however, that
by next spring everything will be in
readiness to carry out the proposed
plans.
