WHO'LL GET THE CANALs

The following taken from the Fremont
Ttibune will b interesting to readers
here, inasmuch . Columbus people b.
lieve they have just about q good .
chance - any Of securing water power:
Secretary Hanson Of tho Commercial
club spent tho day and evening Monday
in Omaha, looking after Fremont's inter
este in connection with the power canal
meeting held tho same night in that city.
Engineer Andrew Rosewater has been
following up his, usual tactics Of corral
ing tho situation for his own individual
beoe6t, BY attempting to secure the pes
sage Of IN ordinance giving him IN indi-
vidual franchise in Omaha for putting
in power distributing wires and ooonec-
tions. Fremont was requested by the
Omaha interests, which have been CO.
operating with this city and putting up
money, to be represented. The Fremont
Commercial clubs position has been that
it does not care especially what interests
construct tho canal, be it Rosewater or
anyone else, but naturally, from common
knowledge OF and experience with the
latter it cannot have confidence in his
ability or disposition to do 60.
Tho meeting that night was charac-
tsristicslly Omaha session full OF violent
personalities, denunciations and inter-
ruptious and that bland confidence in
tho effectiveness OF hot air only for canal
construction purposes which Fremont
he's seen % much OF in this connection
in tho metropolis. Fremont being loudly
called for at the meeting, Secretary Han
son responded and stated some canal
facts. Among other things he c0mpli-
msnted tho meeting on the light-hearted-
ness with which it contemplated canal
construction. He said that ten years OF
continuous, persistent, diligent effort in
that direction by Fremont had taught it
that it was not such "dead easy" thing,
and be noticed that it Was the interests
connected With tho Fremont enterprise,
local and in New York, and not Omaha,
that had paid the bills for demonstra-
tion up to date; that Fremont felt no
sntagonism to Mr.. Rosewater, but simply
knew that it was IN enterprise financially
Of too great magnitude and difficulty for
him to swing-thst it was out OF his line,
q he was IN engineer, not . financier or
financial broker.
The meeting adjourned without en-
dorsement Of Mr.. Rosewater, the latter
saying in the violent style OF the gather
ing, that he had been ~sandbagged."
