ALBANIA PROBLEM
 l HAS NOW ARISEN
Italy Blocks Attempt to Have
 Geneva Discuss Pr0teCtorate

Geneva. May 12.-(By the Associ- ated Press Reconsideration of the league of nations protectorate for Albania was suddenly blocked at this mornings public session of the coun- cil of the league when Marquis lm- periali of Italy could not consent to such drastic supervision of the af- fairs of Albania by the league with out first being assured that 1talys vital interests in that country would be safeguarded.
 The action of the Italian represcn- tative greatly surprised the council which had planned to adopt several resolutions providing for the employ ment of experts to supervise the economic. financial legal and con- stitutional development of Albania.
 n pointing out the need of super vision of Albania by the league the Earl of Balfour said the leagues work there had already pacitied a corner of Europe which had been Rapidly becoming a scandal and the potent source of another war. No older machinery could have carried out this work he declared and the league by its intervention had dis posed of question which had been agitating the world since 1913.
 The members however conferred after Marquis Imperiaf's intervention and decided to postpone consideration of the subject few days in the hope of meeting the Italian objection.

Irrigation Mass Meet

lecture is especially interesting as it
is illustrated by means of three reels
of moving pictures taken of all the
large irrigation projects in western
Nebraska. 1t will show how irriga-
tion has changed the North Platte
valley into veritable "Valley of the
Nile" A number of people in this
locality who have heard this lecture,
say it is one Of the most interesting
and instructive they ever heard.
At this time it is hoped that perm
anent western Nebraska irrigation as
sociation will be formed and it will be
well for you to be there and express
your views.
Some two months ago a water fill
ing was made for sufficient flow of
the South Platte river to irrigate a
great part Of the above mentioned
land. This water filing was paid for
in full by a number of enterprising
citizens Of Grant, Ogallala and Big
Springs.
Let's all be there and boost for
western Nebraska. Everybody is well
come. Admission free to everyone.

ty feet long. Coming over the Cor
ona Hill they had to put on two en-
gines with rotary snow plow for ten
miles to clear the track Of snow.
Otherwise, there was not much snow!
For about ten days after arrived
here the weather was what you would
call soft. 1t would rain q little and
then snow and then rain and and snow
at the same time. But in course of
time severe climatic changes took
place, by = twelve inch snow ending
up with clear cold weather, and has
now been 10 to rs degrees below zero
for over ten days. But not enough
wind to see which way the smoke
goes.
The principal crops here are tame
hay, timothy and red clover mixed,
oats and wheat. In 1919 my son Err
nests oats averaged ninety-five bu.
per acre. Last year they averaged
85 bushels per acre. Hay produces
three to four tons per acre, which is
fed out to cattle during the winter
right in the meadows on the snow.
At present there isn't one-half enough
cattle here to consume the hay. l can
see right from where am writing
this my children have something over
five hundred head. or about one-half
of the cattle in the valley between
Steamboat Springs and Sidney. The
cattle have no protection at all and
seem to enjoy it and are doing we'll.
Quite a few are milking from six
to twenty cows. The returns goes to
supply immediate living expenses.
But there are many other products
of the soil in the way of small fruits
and vegetables that have been prov
an to do especially well here, and are
of superior quality and flavor. They
are the same kind of products produc-
ed in lower altitude and warmer
climate. which cause me to believe
that in the near future these special
favored products will be grown here
in large quantities to supply the near
eastern markets. No doubt good
trade could be BUILT up for them.
l don't know of section in this
state that has the possibilities that
this part offers to the wide-awake and
Industrious person. There are so
many natural resources that are on
ly awaiting the skill and energy of
