Work On The -New Road Work on that portion of the new road which passes through Bartley is progressing nicely and the end of this week should see the completion of the new grade within the corporate limits. -From main -street' west the grade is practically finished and all approaches to the highway are completed.
Another gang work ng.east from Indianola are working night and day and are lmildng about a mile of grade per week and at that rate this strip will soon lie ready for gravel. However, due to the fact that there are several bridges to he built, it impossible to tell when the road will be often to the public, probably not for a year at the least. The high- way department has the habit 'of snitching operations from one see- tion to the other and it is almost impossible to guess when the work wll be finished. Anyway, the work that -'has been completed thus far seems to be o. k.
in every respect and seems to meet with the approval of. all concerned. Bartley Inter -Ocean.

IRRIGATION AND CONTROL OF Flood Watsr Plans Dlscusssd by Ex-Senator Hitchco*ck, Samuel. Q.
Porter, Paul W. Baker and Others 1 Senator The Principal Speaker Wednesday evening at a meeting of the Twin-Valley Commercial clubs of Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado held this city, plans were discussed to prevent floods in the South by storage of flood water in this see tion and using it for irrigating lands in this territory at seasons ot the year when needed One hundred and fifty represents from twenty-seven counties were present Samuel Q. Porter, prime mover in the project and secretary of the Twin Valley Association, said; The area involved in the Republican river project inrhidcs 22, 0 square miles, cnibrncing 14,080,000 ncn nr land. By exact nieusurp incut; 20,000 arnw' fuel of water is yeurly escaping Nebraska use and if wbuM lie siiltlriMit for yearly irrigation of 200, OOo. acres of land, the inestimable vnlm of tha project can easily, he seen.
The proposal will serve a three-fold purpose and will solve in a great mens-: iiihn along with the Platte river amt other projects, tho problem of handling the terrific flow of flood, water which yearly percipitates devastating in the south. Paul W. Baker, an engineer of the University of Nebraska, department, of water resources in charge of the Republican river valley irrigation and water conservation -gave a idetailted report of bis work in the district at the meeting, and a more thorough survey will made by a crew of state engineers early spring and financed by state appropriation. Former United States Senator Gilbert M. Hitchco*ck of Omaha, who is a strong advocation of the proposition was the principal speaker of the meeting.
He said in part: These adjoining sections of Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado have an important interest at stakes Thons ands of acres of this land are short of water at certain seasons, of the year, and at other times the waters of the Republican ran idly by to join the waters of other rivers and help produce flood troubles in the south There ought to be some way to check th8 waste of water by impounding it here, and have it to use for irrigation time of need. This idea has lieen worked on for some time with regard to waters of the Platte river nearby Nebraska counties through whieh that river flows an! I fully expect the time will come when success will crown the 'efforts yon are making as well as the efforts- made further down 'the Platte The old ideas of balding levees higher and higher, stronger and stronger in the south has been a failure, and results only in raising the river, bed there. There has been a derided change in sentiment in the East about irrigation projects. He gave a brief history of irrigation in the West and how it Wan over-coming eastern prejudices. He thought the f'me to set was now propitious.
It ought to be possible to include the impounding of the waters of our upper rivers in any scheme of flood proteeton of the great riven, lower down and of their consequent improvement for transportation. Now the time to organise public sentiment, in the west for co-operation with public sentiment in the aonth." The value of irrgaton to Nebraska hrough of tho Path-Indcr dam in Wyoming ie heat Nina rated In the reclamation of thousands of aerea of arid kind now con verted Into a garden spot and a big source of tho otatoa weath. Washington and. ty haven't favored the project aa part of tho flood control plan, but now encouraging signs arc developing and a broader view la being taken." Hr. and Mrs.

Accidents The railroads of this country have been making la vigorous campaign for the past two yean to eliminate automobile aci -'dents at grade crossings While here has been many horrible accidi nts, almost all of them bring the result of carelessness, yet the effort has not been without result.
The Burlington railroad gives the following comparative figures show-ng the number of persons k'lled and injured in the first seven months in the-yean 1924 and 1929, which are: 1928 number of persona killed 22 injured 48. 1929 number of persons killed 14 injured 36. The Burling on gives generous cre.l it to splend support of the campaign to th newspapers, school teachers, civil organizations, picture shows, and ther organizations for what success it has had in reducing the number cf accidents. The increai ing number of automobiles and trt elm and consequently now drivers, makes it necessary to continue and with increased effort, tc urge ever greater vigilance and care of drivers to eliminate grade crossing accidents. The company solicits any mments or suggest'- ons which might assist in this 'campaign of care and caution of drivers at railroad crossings.
