velopment. The company will send

NEUSHKAH RIVER
WATER PROJECT
Engineer Ewart Submits Re-
port Of Survey Made i,
at Large Cost
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
City Council Puts Ban on
Brass Band Practice
Must Take to Woods

The report of City Engineer c. w.
Ewart upon the Neushkah survey for
| the contemplated enlargement and
improvement of Aberdeen's water
system, was presented to the city
council Wednesday night. 1t shows
that the distance from the present
pumping station on the south side to
the Neushkah river is 6.94 miles. Meas
urements indicate a minimum of g.
100000 gallons each "a hours can be
obtained. At the head of the sur
vey is property owned by G. M. Pow
ell, where a first-class site for dam
to create a storage reservoir exists.
This reservoir could contain suffi-
cient water to carry over any per-
iod of few weeks of unusually low
supply. The survey has been partly
plated.
The report states that to utilize
this supply it would be necessary to
acquire by condemnation right of way
for pipe line where not located on
the county road, and also land for
the reservoir site; to install new
and modern pump on the south side
of the river capable of handling at
least 100000 gallons each "a hours
such pump would use little if any
more steam than the present is u.s.
ing; to build pipe line presumably
10 inches in diameter across the Che
halls river following the line of the
O.-W. bridge, giving two lines across
the river and making it possible to
keep one always open in case Of &C.

of continuous wood stave pipe from
the pump station to the dam site
Data showing estimated cost of this
work has not yet been obtained.
Drastic.Ant Music Ordinance
An Ordinance was passed, 10 to 2,
intended to abolish nuisances that
have been complained of by resi-
dents in the vicinity of halls used
for band practice or alleged musical
purposes, but the terms of which may
be construed to mean much more than
is conveyed in the title, which is in
substance ''to regulate practice on
drums" for it prohibits rendition of
music in a certain section of the city
by bands composed of more than two
drums or five wind instruments. 1t
declares that it shall be unlawful to
practice upon any drum or wind in.

Special Election for New Bridge May I3, Is At
tracing Attention 1.-The Need of the
BRIDGE Is Admitted
THE PROPOSITION WILL LIKELY CARRY
Structure Will Not Cost as Much as Estimated
= Heron Street Will Not Be Injured
By the Removal

The special election to be held
Nay 13, to vote on the issuance of
bonds for the Wishkah street bridge
is attracting the attention of the pub
lie Just now more than would appear
on the surface, and it is safe to say
chat the project will be thoroughly
discussed from now until the cleo
ton
The Bridge Situation
The bridge situation is plain to
all who care to study it. The Wish.
kah river is crossed by all traffic in
tn Aberdeen from Cosmopolis, South
Aberdeen and from the eastward, be.
sides the enormous business to and
from East Aberdeen. Nearly a year
ago Street Supt. Arthur called the
atteation of the city council to the
fact that the pier of the Heron street
bridge was unsafe. A bridge expert
W2S sent for, and he reported the
Disf in a dangerous conditions, but
that it could be repaired, temporarily.
for from $4,000 to $4,000. The
souacil did not believe it would be
wise business to expend that sum on
Temporary repairs, and began to seek
= solution of the problem. 1t was
reasoned that at the rate traffic was
growing, the bridge would soon be
too narrow and light, if it is not al
ready so; that to build a bridge at
Wishkah street before that at Heron
street gave out would not only be
wise and true economy, but it would
afford straight entrance to the city
from the east and eliminate the dan
gerons railroad crossing on Heron
street, and the Herald believes the
council is right
The Opposition
So far as this paper can learn, most
OF the opposition comes from sew
eral false impressions. First that it's
removal would injure the value of
property near the present bridge;
second, that the present structure is
good for several years yet, and third,
that the estimated cost is too high.
The first is a mistake. That prop.

MARSHALL AGAIN
WARNS THE RICH
Says Conscience in Big Busi-
mes. Must Be Antdote
for Socialism
HAVE LAWS ENOUGH
Must Awaken to RESPONSE
bilities Vote Would Con-
fiscate Fortunes Now

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 15.-
Amplifying his speech of Saturday
night before the National Democratic
club in New York city, in which
he served warning on the rich, Vice
President Marshall authorized today
the publication of a statement in
which he urged the injection of con-
science into "big business" as an anti.
dote for socialism. He also reiterated
his arguments against perpetuation
Of great fortunes.
The vice president insisted he was
not expressing his personal opinions
alone, but that he was guided by those
expressed to him "by many honest
financiers, lawyers, miners and ditch
diggers-men he had met on the
street, on the trains and trolley cars
and in their homes.
Men are asking" he said, "wheth-
er there is any difference between
the manufacturer who comes to the
government to ask for help in his
business and the poor man who goes
to the workhouse to ask for help.
Men of Judgment have expressed
to me the opinion that if vote were
taken on proposition to make all
estates over the sum of 100000 re-
vert to the state upon death of the
owner-the 100000 being exempted
it would be carried two to one"
Further Laws Not Necessary
Mr.. Marshall argued that further
laws were not necessary for the reg
ulation of great fortunes or of con-
centrated wealth. He held that the
solution lay in the arousing of bust
ness men to their responsibilities to
the community at large.
There was a time in England"
he said, when children were being
born, not as British subjects, but as
cogs in machine, fed, as it were, to
the mills and factories. 1t was a
somewhat similar condition that pro-
duced Rousseau in France and it
was Rousseau's writings that brought
about the revolution
The vice president declared that
many men of wealth had written to
him commencing his New York
speech. He declared he had gathered
from the correspondence he had re-
ceived from both the wealthy and the
poor that there was a growing re-
sentiment in the country against COM
binations Of capital such as had been
seen in recent years.

The rainfall IN the major portion Of
Nebraska has been below the normal
for the past thre, years, and during
that time many complaints have been
made that crops did not do we'll upon
alfalfa sod. that they were apt to burn
up while crops on adjoining land re.
NAMED green.
because Of this many men were Wig.
orous In their denunciation OF alfalfa
as rotation crop. The Department
Of Farm Management at the University
has tsbulated the results obtained by
many Nebraska farmers. In eastern
Nebraska GO percent Of: the farmers
who had planted corn. on alfalfa sod
reported an increased yield, while of
those who reported decreased yield,
all but one stated that the season had
been unusually dry. West Of the "a
inch rainfall line 40 percent of the re-
ports gave less yield for corn ON
alfalfa sod, In every instance the lower
yield due to a shortage In rainfall. II
percent Of those whose crop did not do
we'll the first season reported that the
second crop was not affected as much
by dry weather, and all but four OF the
remaining 20 percent said that the
second season had been dryer than
the first. A comparatively small
number had followed alfalfa with any
other crop than corn, and their results,
except Oh irrigated land, were less fav.
orable.
The reason for corn on alfalfa sod
suffering in dry season is we'll un-
derstood by those who know the deep
root system OF alfalfa. In August,
1912, 1t was found that In an alfalfa
field at the University Farm there was
less than u third as much available
moisture in the first ten feet of soil as

joining.
The majority OF men who had tried
alfalfa in rotation seemed to believe
that the larger crops of later years
would make up many times over for
any sh ortage OF the first crop In a dry
season.
