Rev. Christie to be Called.
At a meeting of the Presbyterian
congregation following the mornirg
service Sunday, it was voted almost un
animously to extend a call to Rev.
Chjistie, of Tifton, la. Rev. Christie
came here a couple of weeks ago, oc
cupied the pulpit and evidently pleased
the congregation. It is known that
he was pleased with the people, the
church building and the general condi
tions. Rev. Christie is of Scotch des
cent, a good pulpit orator and an inde
fatigable worker. The congregation at
Tipton has offered him a raise in salary
in excess of what ho would get here,
but it is understood that he would like
the change. He expects to soon leave
on a trip to Scotland, and if he accepts
the call to the local church he would not
be able to reach here until fall.

The object of this trip is to create greater interest in irrigation.
Your attention is invited to the following resolution passed by the North
Platte Chamber of Commerce:
Whereas it is the announced policy of the United States government to retain in the up river states all
water not now used and applied on lands in the North Platte river valley, and to that end and purpose
have caused a survey to be mode showing the lands to which water has been applied; and Whereas, The
state of Nebraska, through its state board of irrigation has announced that applications for water made
in the state nnd which water has not been applied to lands will likewise be cancelled by the State; and
Whereas, In the North Platte river valley ditches have been constructed from which little or no water
has been applied to land and the applications for water belonging to said ditches will be cancelled and
the priorities lost if same are not put in shape and water used; and Whereas, There is much other land
in the valley susceptible of irrigation from the North Platte river for which no application to appropriate
water has been made, and unless an appropriation of water for such land is speedily made, the right to
. irrigate such land from said river will be lost and the valley of the North Platte in the state be as devoid
of water for irrigation as the valley of the South Platte and much wealth lost to the valley and the state
at large, and to the cities and towns in the said valloy, therefore be it
Resolved, By the North Platte Chamber of Commerce that we call upon his excellency Hon. Chester H.
Aldrich, governor of the state of Nebraska, who has always been alive to the interests of the state, to do
whatever is in his power to arouse the people of the North Platte valley to the danger that threatens
them and that he be respectfully invited to make a number of addresses to the people of the North
Platte valley on this important subject and that the Hon. D. D. Price, state engineer, and other state
officers be also invited to accompany the governor and to give the people the facts in relation to the
danger that threatens the people of the valley; and
Whereas, The Union Pacific railroad is likewise greatly interested in the prosperity of the valley and, '
the development of irrigation therein, therefor be it further
Resolved, That the said Union Pacific railroad company be requested to furnish a special train to con
vey governor and other state officers who may accompany him up its road in the North Platte river ,r
valley; and that said railroad company be requested to give whatever assistance it can to arouse the
people of said valley to the danger that threatens the water supply of the valley.
