Plumbers Are
Busy with Plans

Part of the Funds Have Been Col
leOted and Help is Expected
from National Body.

Actual progress toward the cooperative
Journeymen plumbers supply house which
Omaha is to have has been made, and II
Is reported that a part Of the fund al
ready has been collected. Because of the
fact that the war between the master
plumbers and the workmen u still at a
bitter height the journeymen are being
very quiet about their plans and are ex-
tremely reticent. The national association
will back the local movement and the fund
can be raised with no great difficulty, &C.
cordlng TO the journeymen.
The plumbing situation Is complicated by
the fact that the largest Of the master
plumbers refuses to take sides with either
party. He has most of the larger Jobs
that are to be done on hand and hires
union labor TO carry out his contracts, but
he refuses to do anything actively for the
master plumbers.
The establishment OF the cooperative
supply store, as has been proved in other
cities, will give the workmen a chance to
bid directly on tho work and cut out the
shopkeeper's profit. The benefit win be
shared between the journeymen and the
consumers.

Asks for Further Decorations

Samson Is calling upon all Omaha to as

TO this end the board of governors is
calling upon ell to be ready TO decorate
their places of business and to make a
real city beautiful during the carnival
week.
To this end Samson is sending out the fol-
lowing notice to the business interests of
Omaha:
To the Business Interests OF the City:
During the ten days from September to
Oetober Omaha will entertain moro than
loaO00 visitors. 1t behooves US to present
as attractive front as possible TO these
guests.
The street decorations OF electric globes
IN the same way make the effects very
beautiful after dark. What we have
always lacked in the past has been some
uniform scheme OF decoration for the
streets ana buildings in the day time. II
the merchants in each block would cooper
ate and agree on some general plan for
their building fronts and also to extend
across the streets IL would be OF great ad-
vantage from an aesthetic stanpoint
We have been much criticized in the past
for an apparent lack of public spirit in
this respect We believe the business men
VAL see Il Is to their own advantage that
their individual place of business Is, not
behind that Of their neighbors. or OF the
city as a whole. when We are at home to
streets the city win do its part and we
Know II is unnecessary for US TO ask

Orchard Farms
Safe Investment
]. E. Buckingham Says that Land is
the Best Place Yet to
Put Money.

big Horn Basin irrigated lands are the
safest and best investments open to in
vestors at this time" said ]. E. Bucking-
ham, assistant general passenger agent of
the Burlington, who recently returned from
that section. Here the water rights are
perpetual and everlasting, The land is rich
and very productive, producing all kinds
OF grain and root crops, apples and small
fruits, and the farmers in this locality do
not need to wait for rain, but can turn
the water and off Of their crops at will.
Remarkable progress has been made In
this great rich valley during the last three
years. Three years ago the only inhabitants
between Greybull and Worland were the
engineers surveying out the bitches and
few wOrkmen here and there together with
several prairie dogs and coyotes. Today,
with the advent of water running through
these completed canals the very best crops
are growing where good farmers have set
tied, and have given their crops the proper
attention, and the entire Big Horn valley
from Greybull to Worland is lined with
new houses, new barns, new orchards and
growing crops are now to be found on
good share of these valley lands.
There are yet however, number OF
good farms open to investment and while
the purchaser must pay more for these
lands than he would have had TO pay three
years ago, there is now practically no risk
to be run because the valley is established,
and the settlers are thick, and an Invest
ment can be made today on q much safer
basis than three years ago.
THE commercial orchard proposition is
growing into immense proportions, and this
furnishes a field for investment to the
small investor who can pay down a small
amount as first payment, and make pay
ments monthly or quarterly and thereby
secure q small tract OF this rich land that
is sure to very greatly Increase lin value.
There is also opportunity for the In
weston who desires 4Os sos, l6Os and section
tracts, but these are being rapidly picked
up and will soon cost far more money
! than they could be bought for today. This
valley has a great advantage over many
| other rich farming communities for the
reason that coal and oil of very high grade
are found in the immediate vicinity OF
these farms, and large number OF nat
/ ural gas wells have been brought In in
| the vicinity Of Basin and Greybull, where
! the people OF these towns and the farmers
are also using natural gas for fuel and
| lighting purposes. This condition. OF at
! fairs ls sure to bring about Industrial ac-
! tivity within a short time. and thereby
| insure a splendid home market for all OF
| the home products raised the local
farms and orchards"

HITCH IN WATER BOND SALE
May Have to Wait Until Present Lit
cation is Out of the Way.
QUESTION OF POWER TO SELL
John L. Webster Holds the Board Has
Complete Authority 10 Collect
the Money and Also to
Spend II.

The passing of the order Of the Water
board authorizing the issue of bonds for
s., 500 900 will not put the bonds upon the
market until some Of the litigation now
in federal court is settled. The actual pur-
chase Of the water works Will probably
have to wait until the courts have disposed
of number of claims against the corpora
ton
In authorizing the president OF the board,
NJ T. Barlow, to proceed to advertise the
bonds the Water board signifled its inten-
ton of acting without further AUTHORIZE
ton from the council.
The power delegated to the board for pur-
chasing the plant is a special privilege and
has been construed by John l.. Webster,
the boards attorney, as complete author
ity TO collect the money and spend it. Some
questions have been raised by other mem
bers of the city government as to the right
OF the board 10 go ahead without the
passing of an ordinance by the council
for the issuing OF the bonds, but Mr.. Web
ster holds that the control OF water funds
is entirely within the Jurisdiction of the
special body put in charge OF the water af-
fairs and the city attorney will probably
agree with him.
A much more serious problem for the city
to settle will be the actual sale OF the
bonds when they are put upon the market.
The city offers per cent payable semi
annually, but II is said that municipal
bonds are not being seized upon with any
surprising avidity by New York brokers.
Omaha had some experience earlier in the
summer with New York capitalists who
had contracted to buy $4,000 worth OF
municipal bonds and crawled out OF their
bargain on a technicahty which, according
to the city attorney was an obvious sub
terfuge. The only reason known for their
action was the tightness of the money
market, and the water bonds may meet the
same obstacle.
