OMAHA THE PLACE TO INVEST
NebraHICa's Metropolis Offers Greater
Advantages to Men with Money
Than Pacific Coast cities.

c. F. Harrison has just returned from a
two months stay on the PacihcN coast
where he visited the cities Of Seattle. Port
land, Tacoma and Los Angeles. After an
investigation OF the conditions existing
there he is more firmly persuaded than
ever that Omaha is the best place for In
vestment known to him.
II talked with many real estate men
and investors in Portland. Tacoma and
Seattle, especially the latter city, and I
ind that real estate in Omaha is dirt
cheap, considering the prospects which
this city has in comparison with those
western ones. They are bound to grow. OF
course, and so is Omaha growing at an
rate. Why should real estate
values in Seattle be twice those in Omaha1
I met in Seattle Rufus II. Smith, an in
vestor who spent some time IN Omaha
some years back He said to me- If
were not tied up so tightly here i would
60 to Omaha and invest money there. Bet
ter opportunities are offered there. Prop
erty can be bought cheaply now which IN
few years, on account of the" develop
ment OF the city, will be worth twice a.
much" .....
Mr. Harrison inquired into the electric
light and power rates charged at Tacoma
and Seattle. In the latter city there is a
municipal light and power plant which
competes with two private concerns.
Power is furnished to consumers by the
city and by the companies as we'll as low
as 21t cents per kllowatt hour. 1t is said
that cents is the lowest rate at which II
is furnished in Omaha and that the usual
price is about 6 cents Mr.. Youngs. man
ager of the municipal plant. figures that
an arc light ought to be furnished for IS.
At Tacoma, according 70 Mr.. Harrison.
the city distributes it's light and power.
which It buys from two companies on COM
petitive bids. II pays 81 cents per kilowatt
hour for power and charges 50 cents for
eight or less kilowatt hours a month. Mr..
Harrison did not get any information as to
the cost Of distribution by the city.

The suit IL a peculiar one at the best II
is understood that the allegations of the
petition are that Governor Purkee died at
the Cozzens hotel I'm Omaha, January Il,
1870. and that John A. Kuykendan was ap-
pointed administrator OF his estate. It Is
further alleged that Governor Durkee had
become by some means possessed of the
bonds in question prior to 1870 and that he
held them in trust. In hts will he made
some disposition OF tine trust, but just what
that disposition was does not appear I'm

The interests of the Union Pacific, are
being looked after by w. r. Kelly. general

Kelly on the basis OF irrelevancy. Nothing
further will be undertaken In the case

Last year 6s mills were levied Tor the

for this purpose Is made, therefore making
a reduction Of 77b mills in the school levy.
This saving, however, is nearly Offset by
the increase in the city levy Of ga mills.
The county bridge fund tax, which this
year is 2% mills, is not levied within the
city OF Council Bluffs as the city makes its
own levy for bridge purposes. Therefore,
while the total tax levy for county pur-

It is only s1k mills In the city.
The state levy this year shows an In

3jh mills last year.
