THE FULTON CENTENNIAL.

From May to November this year
there is to be held at Bordeaux
France maritime exposition in COM
memoration of the one -hundredth an
niversary of Robert Fulton's success
full application Of steam to navigation
Incidentally a controversy has arisen
as to VINO was really the first man 70
make a successful use OF steam IN
boat propulsion. 1t Is known that one
Fitch experimental in America with
steam navigation in 1888, twenty four
years before Fulton's boat made her
trial trip, and that he launched Il
steamboat in 1888 which moved few
rods at the rate of four miles an hour
before its boiler burst The same
year a Scotchman named Miller ran
successfully by steam a small double.
boat, gaining a speed of seven miles
an hour. A man named Symington
built the Charlotte Dundas in 1903 to
tow by steam power" boats on the
Clyde canal The boat worked sue
cessfully, but the agitation of the
water by it's paddle wheels caused the
banks to wash down, and it's use had
to given up Notwithstanding all
these previous efforts with measure
able success, and those named are not
all by any means, the era of steam
navigation is by common consent
dated from August, 1907 when Fulton
and Robert Livingston launched the
Clermont This was boat of 100 tons
burden, which made the initial trip
from New York to Albany against
wind and tide, 10 miles, in twenty
four hours "Fultons Folly" as it was
known by the skeptics was used as
regular packet between New York
and Albany from the first. Fulton
soon built and maintained steam fer
ries between New York and the
Jersey shore, so that little question
can be raised Of his right to be known
as the real starter of steam navigation
France recognizes this claim in choos-
ing the date for her exposition.

Bloomington has held he prize. Iii eV-
cry business move and in every matter
of growth each town has watched the
other enviouSly. A few days ago
Bloomington voted bonds to build O
water pumping plant. Now it seems
that Franklin is to have a water plant
without voting bonds. Above the town
a spring bursts through the rocks of
the hillside, releasing a steady flow of
pure, cold water, of sufficient volume
to supply the town with gravity water
pressure. The owner of the spring has
agreed to install water plant and the
citizens of the town agree to use the
water and pay for it. Bloomington,
being on a hill, must pump it's water.
A great many men believed when the
Burlington built it's line from Lincoln
to Kearney in the early seventies that
the farthest outpost Of civilization had
been reached and that this line would
never pay dividend. 1t was then be-
lieved that the single track line Of the
Union Pacific would answer for all
transeontinental traffic for half cen
tury or more. and that there would
be no room for competing lines. Just
now the Burlington is engaged In con-
structing a tranScOntinental line, and
the Union Pacific is double tracking it's
old line, after having rebuilt it seven
years ago. There are now six trans
continental lines in operation and four
others are in process Of construction.
The Gould system will probably be the
seventh completed and the st. Paul
the eighth, while ninth and tenth
places will probably go to the Burling
ton and Northwestern roads. 1t Is not
improbable that the railroads Of Ne
braska will spend between six and
seven million dollars in new work in
this state during the year to come.

SHERIFF, IAUkEA WILL
CLEANSE STATION Coin

County Sheriff Curtis P. Iaukea has
made prompt response to the Civic
Federation s appeal on behalf of clean
money. In a reply to the circular that
has been published, Mr.. Iaukea states
that he is glad to take up the sugges-
tion, and in future will undertake to
have the coin passing through the sta
ton cleansed.
To this end the sheriff would confer
with DR.. Moore, acting police surgeon,
as to the best cleansing methods. Prob
ably the coin will be thrown into a
bath of hot water containing disinfec-
tants, to remove both dirt and germs of
disease clinging to it.
The station house money coming into
the custody of the sheriff consists of
deposits of bail and cash taken from
the persons of those arrested before
being consigned to the cells. AS the
classes run in by the police are mainly
composed of uncleanly persons, such
coin as they carry is very apt to be
tainted in the actual rather than fgu-
rative sense, at the moment of its sur
render. While nobody can tell where
currency may not have come from quite
recently, it is less apt TO be infested
with noxious germs after some ex-
posture to light and air, two of nature IS
potent disinfectants.
