to amend or annul entirely the in

in the opinion that it will never be

''The object which the directors ex-

Union Pacific System the satisfaction
of knowing that, so long as they are
in the service, some financial pro-
vision, although comparatively small
in some cases, has been made for
them and their families against the
misfortune of death, injury and ill
ness. 1t is a measure prompted by
good will toward the employees and
their families whose welfare is borne
constantly in mind, and whose CO.
operation in establishing the success
of these properties is greatly appre-

HISTORIC RAIL BRIDGE
REPLACED AT OMAHA

A remarkable engineering feat was
accomplished by the Union Pacific
Co. in putting new railroad bridge
in the place of the old one at Omaha
last month. BY building immense
false works on each side of the old
bridge and erecting the new structure
ON one of them all preparations were
so well made that it only took about
an hour to make the transfer, on De-
cember 20. Almost with the new
year the new bridge slid into place
and the old one slid out.
This old bridge is the third built
by the Union Pacific Co. across the
Missouri river at the identical spot.
The first was finished in 1872, and
for almost so years served as the
crossing for all who followed the
Overland route west, explorers, trav-
elers. and home seekers. 1t was the
first rail crossing of the great river.
The Union Pacific system has been
intimately associated with United
States history for half a century,
and was the first mighty arm stretched
out to seize and hold the west.
Presidents Lincoln and Buchanan
were interested in it's construction,
for they saw that it meant wonderful
expansion; but they could not have
known how quickly and powerfully
that expansion would be accomplish
ed. The railroads have rightly been
called arteries" and no better proof
need be called to mind than the
transportation requirements of the
European war now in progress. The
transfer of armies quickly for long
distances has saved nations and ar
mics more than once during the past
three years.
Just as the first transcontinental
railway meant rapid settling and
growth in the west, it still means in
an increasing measure the bond of
communication between the eastern
and western people Of our country.
No one knows what our history
would have been without railroads.
They were necessary to our arrival
at the present conditions.
In 1912 nearly two million men
were employed by the railroads in the
United States. The United States has
almost ten times the mileage of Ger
many. In America, north and south,
there are more miles of railway than
in all the rest of the world put to-
gether, according to figures gathered
IN 1915.

RECLAIM SWAMP LAND OF SOUTH
AND ARID LAND OF WEST

Washington, d. C.-If the bill re-
Gently introduced in the House by
Congressman Smith of Idaho should
become a law it would be an easy
matter to secure capital to reclaim
the arid lands of the west and the
swamp lands Of the south.
Under the provisions Of the meas
ure it is proposed to authorize the
issuance of bonds upon irrigation
and drainage districts organized I'M
der State laws, which are to be de-
posted with the Secretary of the
Treasury; the interest on the bonds
to be secured by fund to be &C
! cumulated in the Treasury at the rate
of 100000 per annum from the pro-
ceeds of the sale of public lands.
The bonds are to bear not more than
four per cent interest. With the
guarantee of the Government behind
the bonds, it is believed that they
will be easily marketed.
The bill also provides that the un-
entered public lands within the dist
riot to be irrigated, or drained shall
be divided into farm units of such
area as in the opinion of the Sec
rotary of the Interior may be reason
ably required for the support OF a
family, and not more than one farm
unit shall be sold to the same person
which are to sold at public auction
to the highest bidder at not less than
the appraised value.
It is also provided that one-fourth
of the land shall be irrigated or re-
claimed by drainage within 3 years
three-eighths within four years and
one-half within five years after the
projects are completed.
There are ABOUT 25,O00,000 acres
of arid land for this irrigation or
which sufficient water could be stored
in reservoirs, and there are about
rs, 100000 acres of swamp land in
the United States which, according
to engineers reports could be re-
claimed. Under the provisions of the
proposed law it is believed that capt.
tai could easily be secured to re-
claim the Bruneau traht in Idaho
consisting of 100000 acres, the Min
idoka extention consisting of $50, 200
acres, and numerous similar pro-
jects.
Congressman Smith has submitted
a COPY of his bill to each member
Of Congress from the arid land states
and the Southern states, in which
are situated the swamp lands, with
the hope of securing their active CO.
operation toward the enactment Of
the proposed legislation.
Mr.. Smith contends that at the
close of the European war there will
be necessarily a curtailment Of activ-
ity in the manufacturing lines, and
that there will be hundreds of thous-
ands of men thrown out of employ
ment for whom provision must be
made in the way Of livelihood, and
that with the immense quantity Of
money in the banks and trust COM
panies throughout the country, and
the high price Of food products, it
will be an easy matter to dispose of
the lands to bona fide settlers as
rapidly as they can be reclaimed un-
der the proposed legislation.

BREAK THE WATER
POWER MONOPOLY

There are in the United States pot
entail water powers of 60,712,20(
horsepower, and Of this 25,400,00(
horsepower is located in six coast
states of California, Oregon, Wash.
ington, Utah, Idaho and Montana.
OF this water power in these six
states only 1,472,0OO horse power is
located on streams where no federal
permit is required for it's develop
ment.
Practically 100000 horse pow
er is held from development as a
government monopoly, Congress re-
fusing to pass laws releasing it.
Adequate development would make
possible the manufacture of fertili-
zers by taking nitrogen from the at
mosphere, utilizing well known mod
ern scientific processes which require
large quantities of cheap electric
power.
Adequate water power development
would also call for great construct
ton works employing thousands of
men and utilizing capital now idle,
keeping it in this country against
competitive demands of Europe re-
building at the end of war.
1t would also result in extensive
use of electricity for operation of
railroads, with added comfort to pas
sengers and enormous savings of
labor, fuel and operating expense,
thereby improving financial situation
of railroads without increasing ex-
pense to shippers. 1t would also re-
suit in providing cheap power for
irrigation purposes in the western
country.
Congress should pass needed legis-
lation such as the Ferris Mill as am
ended in the Senate and known as
the Myers bill. ...0.-
The legislature will convene in a
few weeks. Now if that body of
patriots will repeal a
lot of the needless laws, put some
of the commissions in the discard and
go home without enacting any new
laws they will have performed a real
service to the state.
