A Fine Park at Long Pine.

Long Pine, Neb., July f6.-Special
to The News: Amusement park is
the name of forty-acre tract of land
on Pine creek south of Long Pine, and
the same is being beautified by r. c..
Hunt of Bassett and Frank Haag of
Long Pine, who have leased the
grounds for ten years. A force of
about twenty men have been working
night and day at the grounds, trying
to complete the large plunge by the
opening day, which will occur the
latter part of this month. The plunge
is 50x100 feet, with walls and floor
made of cement. 1t is arranged so as
to keep fresh spring water coming in
and going out at all times. The water
will be from 8 to 7 feet deep and will
be heated by large boiler which has
been ordered and will arrive in a few
days. A fine dynamo and engine has
also been ordered and the entire park
will be lighted with electricity.
A large amount of money is being
spent by the promoters of this new
park and the people of Long Pine are
enthusiastic over the proposition.
A fine dancing pavilion, 50x100 feet
has also been built on the grounds and
already a number of very successful
dances have been held there. A large
and airy dining hall has been erect
ed on the grounds and regular meals
are served daily. Besides these i'm.

selves near Niobrara. Company No.
l is buying many thousands of acres
of land and paying for it. This land
will be valuable either for agricultural
or cement purposes.
Company No is trying to corner"
and utilize the entire tremendous pow
er of Niobrara river. Engineers are
now busy surveying and measuring
the power. At this time 1000 horse
power is said to be the result of their
calculations, but the end of their work
is not yet. This company will build a
concrete dam and a canal about seven
miles up the river, and these will cost
more than one-half million dollars.
The dam will back up the water and
elevate it to a point where it will run
into the canal, thus giving good head
and great power The canal will be
seventeen feet deep and seventy feet
wide at the top. There will be bitches
on both sides to catch the overflow.
For many years astute citizens of
Niobrara have seen the possibility of
a great cement industry at this place
Time and work have been expended
in trying to interest eastern capital in
the water power here and in the Mo

culable quantities of cement can be
made. 1t seems that the visions of ouI
people are soon to be realized-"in the
