Hitherto the accomplishment of this OBJ
| iect has only been viewed as based upon a
ljOint stock plan, subscribed by individuals
aad while all agree that its accomplishment
would be great g lod to the city, some ai
Is al ways the case, who ought to move, would
not, AID their Indifference cooled others,'whC
would Now ii strikes me the Prject il
clesr,y practicable.
By looking into the provisions of the mu-
nicipal code passed last winter, it may be
seen
FIRST. That the councils of cities are en-
powered to establish vsterworks, O. L Of
1869 page 2O5. chap 25.
Second. That they are empowered to ap-
propriate and bold property and water
rights, for this purpose, not only in but out
side of the corporate limits. Ibid page 235,
Item I2 Of chap a., sec l.
Third. To levy tax of three mills on
the dollar annually to pay for the expenses
of contracting &c. Ibid, page 25s, paragraph
2 of Sec GA chsp5l
Fourth. To insure the bonds Of. the city,
at 7 per ct interest, to anticipate the collec-
ton of the tax, payable at such times as the
council may direct: Ibid page 262, Sec 663.
Fifth. To let the water on part of it for
other than city water works purposes, by
the concurrent authority of the city council
and trustees ofiis water works. Ibid page
2O5, chap 25 sec 334.
Here we have ample power and ample
means to do this work by the city, and in
such way that the burthen will be most
tquitably borne If burthen it be. But it
seems to me that with proper management
it will prove paying enterprise. Hoping
others win follow the subject further.

Omaha, Nebraska, Nov. 7th 1869.
Mr.. ED1roR:-Dedr Sir: Having few
leisure hours, 1 shsll pen you few brieflines
in regard to our trip SO far. We left Fre-
mont on Monday last, and after stopping at
various points on the route, we find our
selves booked for stay of some twenty
hours in Omaha Concerning our trip so far,
it is NEEDLESS to say much, as most of your
readers are familiar with the route. Yet
from Desmoines to Omaha, there is much that
is beautiful, especially the extensive burning
of the prairies, which, at this time of the
year, are burned for the brueft of early pas
ture. In the afternoon, dense clouds of
smoke were seen overhanging the prairie,
and in the night the sight vas grand, as we
passed line after line of fire extending at
right angles with the roud, in long serpea-
tine lines, giving to the sky and surrounding
bluffs, wierd and grand appearance. Then
an other sights, on those vast prsiries of wes-
tern Iowa, which would be very interesting
to our Riley hunters, foremost among which
are the thousands Of prairie chickens which
are TO be seen along the track, where the
long grass remains unburnt; and the thou
sands of wild geese and ducks that futter
and sport along the bayous of Skunk River
may be very thankful that Riley is not repre-
senten, gun in hand, in this vicinity. Omaha
is 80 often and well described that, in regard
to any further description, l will not at
tempt it, only to say to those who are likely
to stop here, don't forget to stop at the Pacific
Hotel, kept by L. L. Whitney. You will
find good, square meals; good looms, de-,
and reasonable bills, and splendid view OF
Council Bluffs, OF the opposite shore. The
River is very low, at this time. Crops were
good, but the markets are lOw:-wheat so c,
corn 80 to % per bu. Hard times are
predicted here for the coming winter
There is an abundance of laborers here, and
more coming daily, with but little demand
for common laDorers. LOi is here, 10 all
his gaudy traPpings, but apparently in
trouble, at present, owing to one of them
having killed citizens, last week. His trial
is now in progress, and the prospects are that
be will start for the happy hunting grounds,
with one of Uucle Sans neckties, about his
throat. They are said to be quite sverse to
that mode of departure. quite naturally
This one has made three attempts to COM
NIT suicide. though l must say the attempts
we. e not after toe civilized method Ofsuicide
His first attempt was to beat his head against
the bars of his prison, and the next by try
ing to disembowel himself, with piece of
glass Failing in this, he gis discOse
this morning, endeavOring to run a small
stick of stove wood down his throat From
first impressions, should think their noble
traits of character are seen to the best advan-
tage on paper, we expect to leave here this
evening, en- route for Californis, bat will
stop day at Salt Lake. Also for a days
hunt on the plains. Should any thing occur
worth of note, l will drop few stray lines
occasionally Yours, truly,

Green Creek, Again.

DEAR JoURNAL:-I noticed, week OF
more sgo, communication in your valuable
paper on the subject of bringing the water
OF Green Greek into the Sandusky River, at
Fremont.
In rejecting on the subject, it cccnred to
me, that no enterprise would add wealth and
population to our city more than this. The
immense water power it would furnish fOT
manufacturing purposes is important, and
e itself should stir Us up to action.
But when we consider that in connection
with this great benefit, an ample supply Of
water for fire and other purposes. can be
furnished to every street corner, and foun-
tain in everyIlOt and lawn, whose owner
may desire it, thus doing so much to defend
against the devouring element and at the
same time beautifyiug the city, the project
becomes one of very great interest to every
inhsbitant
