are fearful that the new owners will
take the stand that they are not bound
by the contracts of the old organiza-
ton, end will make an effort to shut
them out Of Omaha, and at least de-

the latter event, it is likely that there
will be the tallest sort of a fight, a

tracts, and will make every effort to

The progress of the Plant SYSTEMS
new wharf work is very gratifying to
the officials of the system, who spent
Sunday in the oity inspecting the I'M
provements now being made. Fore.
man Reid, who has charge of the
work, is pushing things, and the neces-
sary preliminary operations are rap
idly nearing completion.
The outer line Of piling will serve
as the outer line of the bulkhead
which is to be built. The wharf will
extend out thirty feet further into the
river, so as to be on 4 line with the
present wharves. All the marsh be-
tween the wharf and the shore will be
filled in with sand. Arrangements
are now being made for securing and
hauling the necessary dirt. 1t will
probably be brought in on dirt trains
from a point up the road.
A temporary dock will be built
where vessels can discharge their
stone ballast, which will be used in
the construction of the bulkhead. Ths
dredge will be here in the course of q
month, and the deepening of the chan
nsl will be begun.
The new piledriver is now at work
on the wharves. The piIedrlver was
built here for the Plant Investment
company, and 10 ons of the latest I'm

established by the fact that it has bsen
painted bright yellow.

tion of the new wharveS will be oom-
pleted in eighteen months. That Ia
the term set by the builders. The
scene along Academy creek is one of
great activity, with three piledriyere
at work and large force of men.

Brunswick Has Another Factory,
Operated in a Warehouse

UTILIZES THE SURPLUS ENERGY.
The Downing Company Manufacturing
Twenty five Sacks Per Day-It Is
Small, but it May Grow in Time.

Brunswick has a new industry, of
the existence Of which few people are
aware. 1t furnishes an instance Of
the shrewd business acumen of a
Brunswick 6rn in utilizing all the
surplus energy which comes within
their reach.
The enterprise is meal mill, and it
averages an output of twenty five
sacks per day.
The firm is the Downing Company,
and the mill is located in the cellar OF
the oompany's new brick warehouse
on Bay street.
The story of the establishment of
the factory is an interesting one. The
new warehouse Of the Downing Com
pany Is equipped with an elevator, the

easy 10 notice that the engine was
having an easy time Of it, with moth
ing to do but lift occasional piles of
goods on the elevator. There was
considerable energy wasted. 1t was,
accordingly, decided to devise some
scheme to make the engine earn its
fuel, and the meal mill was the result.
The enterprise Is, of course, a small
one, but it Is something, and may
grow in the course of years to be an
industry of Importance. The Down.
ing Company already has a baking
powder factory in operation, and, by
this new addition, the scope of the
oompany's operations is considerably
extended.

But fate has directed that his path of

we have sought to find some simple
token of our affection, which we beg
you will carry with you to your new
home and forever cherish. We have
chosen the brihht and sparkling dia-
mond that your life may be typified,
and by It's purity and brightness may
it always remind you that In the
