A Million Dollar Subsidy to be Voted ta

Capital Interested-The Enterprise VIII
Involve on Outlay of Upwards OF Tour
Millions of Dollars.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 1.-The county
commissioners of Douglas county, IN
which Omaha is situated, have decided
to submit to the people a proposition
to vote 81, 600, 900 subsidy to a company
for the construction of a canal to bring.
water power to the city of Omaha
The enterprise has been under discus
sion for more than a year., and many.
thousands of dollars have been eX
pended in Investigations and prelimi-
nary surveys.
The design of the enterprise is to ere
ate a great water power just outsides
the city limits to be brought into the
city in the shape of electrical energy
and sold at a uniform price to all
factories. The rates at which this.
water power is to be sold have been
agreed upon by the company and coun-
ty commissioners and they will be on
an average cheaper than the charge
for water power in Minneapolis and
other water-power centers.
The water is to be procured from the
Platte river, some forty miles from
Omaha, and from the Elkhorn river
some twenty miles from Omaha. and
will be carried through a canal to a
point near the city limits where a fall
amounting to I35 feet will be secured.
At this point there will be developed
"a, 900 horse power. At this point also
an electrical plant will be established
andthe power developed will be brought
into Omaha and distributed to various
parts of the city to large and small
consumers as electrical energy for OPP
Grating motors. The people of Omaha
are expected to vote these bonds by a
large majority, as there is practically
no opposition, and 81, 900, 900 is consid-
ersd a small amount to give for secur--
ing the advantages of such cheap
power for manufacturing purposes
The whole enterprise will cost $1,000
600, and the company undertaking it is
composed of the richest men in Ne
braska.

MISSOURI a NEWS.
The Odd Fellows Home.

Col. L. r. Shipley, of Springfield, q
member of the committee to iocate the
State Odd Fellows home. was in Ne
vada a few days since, and is quoted in
an interview as follows: 1T is my idea
that the wards of the fraternity will
have their interests best subserved by
giving them such work as they will be
able to do. The surroundings should
be such as will encourage them to do
all in their power to make the institu-
ton self-supporting. About $1,000 has
been contributed to the home. The
support will be derived from an assess
ment. At present that assessment is
very light, being only twenty cents
per annum on each member. In
Kansas the levy is S1.5O. Kansas was
very fortunate in securing its
odd fellows home. An eccentric old
Frenchman ~bequeathed to the order
3.156 acres of land. He provided that
the products of the land should be used
only to pay the cost of teachers and to
construct buildings for the institution.
The %teStator vas not a member of the
order. but was a philanthropist, and
deemed this the best method of eXer-
cising his generosity. There is no
scarcity of people who need the priv
ileges of the home. The Kansas insti-
tuition has been open only. a few
months, but has fifty inmates. 1t is
our intention to admit both the orphans
and the superanuated. So, yon see,
we are likely to have a large number
of applicants"
chr. Shipley, in speaking of the ma
sonic home at st. Louis, remarked that
the property had advanced in value
very rapidly within the past few years.
The purchase price was $4,000, and it
is now worth 5000, 900.
