Water Power Queationn.

OMAdA, Feb. ITO the Editor of The

deal Of pleasure and interest the articles
In The Bee on water power. Walter
johnson OF North Loup is right. The
water power policy OF the state must be
changed II we are ever to have our won
derful resources developed so that the
consumer may have cheap power. Heat
at IS per horsepower year looks good
TO the consumer, but there seems to be
considerable question about, developing
electricity at that price.
Now for the benefit OF myself and sew
eral others whom ! have heard express
themselves on the subject. as well as the
large number OF Bee readers, / would
like to have Mr., Johnson give us a few
more figures and clear away all doubt
that may exist as TO the feasibility Of
his proposition. viz;
!. What would be the probable cost
OF the proposed $1,000 horsepower de-
velopment with all necessary transmits
sion lines?
2. On which river would you recon-
mend this development to be made?
g. What total population should such
a development. serve?
4. What per cent Of 5000 horsepower
could be delivered to the consumer?

Democrats Have Wires Crossed.
SCOTS BLUFF, Neb.. FebA2.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: The spectacle Of a
democratic congress making the fight Of
its life for a secondhand" merchant
marine would look like a Joke II It were
not for the serious International compii-
cations inevitable II they succeed. The
democrats have always opposed any fed
eral aid or announcement to build up q
merchant marine. It took a worlds war
to wake them up to the fact that we had
no merchant marine and needed one, and
needed II badly. Now since their free
trade propaganda has depleted the ma
tional treasury and they have burdened
the people with war tax in time OF
peace at home. they want this govern
ment to purchase ships that the exigen-
cles OF war have sidetracked and bel
liserent nation has placed on the bar.
gain counter" II two of the democratic
measures now pending before congress
both pass, one will authorize the purchase
of secondhand merchant marine and
the other will prohibit their use. Won't
you please give our kindergarten congress-
quiet hunch that It has its wires
crossed? j. +. WEyBRIGHT.

BarRes Then--Why Not NovvF
OGALALLA, Neb., Feb. ITO the Edl-
tor Of The Dee: SEEING the notice in The
Bee OF the barge line meeting held In St
Joseph, at which several Omaha citizens
were present and taking part, brings
back to memory the time, when forty
eight years ago, the writer took his first
passage on Missouri river steamboat.
II was the good boat "St. joe" and I
embarked ct the city Of st. Joseph, at
that time tho jumping off place. the
terminus OF the railroad from the east.
All passengers and freight from Omaha
had 20 go by boat.
On this trip up the river the boat made
several landings, taking on and dis
charging freight and passengers. There
apparently seemed TO be no difficulty
whatever as to the navigation OF the
stream; everything went lovely as far
as 1 could tell Upon landing at Omaha
at the foot of Farnam street / found the
levee covered with ties and iron for the
building Of the Union Pacific railroad.
The road was then completed as far as
North Platte and It IL fact that 500
miles of the road was built and equipped
with material which was transported on
boats, including ties. iron, cars and loco
motives.
A barge line from Omaha would be OF
great benefit TO the city as well as the
state, and 1 hope to see it inaugurated
soon. A city without water transports-
ton lies under a heavy handicap. Two
enterprises Of the greatest Importance at
this time for Omaha is. first. the estab-
fishing OF this Missouri river barge line
for cheap freight rates, and second, a
pipe line from the oil and gas fields OF
Wyoming bringing a source of cheap
power for manufacturing.

THE French offensive IN the Waevre,

that All the French attacks have

the prelude to big general effort

The allied fleet has, according to
