Lincoln, April o.-(Special )-Of-
iicials connected with the state de-
partment of labor report that all APP
plications for employment are now
being filled and in many instances it
is impossible to secure enough men
to fill the places open.
L. c. Crandall, who was formerly

of spring activities was fearful that
the labor supply might be exhausted
After placing all of the available
men in this state, the department
has been forced to call on other
states in the last two weeks in or
der to take care of all of the re-
quests for help.
There is 100000 more acres OF
winter wheat in Nebraska this spring
than in 1879 said Mr.. Crandall yes

RESOURCES MAY
BECOME REALITY
Howell Carefully Nursing
Water Power Bill in State
Senate; Would Use Streams
and Rivers.
BY a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, April 6.-Development Of
Nebraska's water power resources
may become a reality under the pro-
visions Of a bill which R. Beceher
Howell of Omaha is carefully nurs-
ing in the Nebraska state senate.
Early in the legislative session
Howell had bill introduced, known
as H. r. $50, which gave tie met
ropolitan water board of Oman. au-
thority to build an electric light
plant. Under an agreement entered
into by Howell and representatives
of the Omaha Electric Light COM
pany, the bill was killed With the
understanding that a senate meas
ure, designed to give the water board
management of the Omaha gas plant
when the city took it over, would be
unopposed in passage The senate
bill was also amended to provide
that if the city ever decided to build
gas or electric plant the waite
board should manage it.
After compromising with the I'M
Outstanding that the city itself in
stead of the water board, should in
itiate All electric plant, representa-
tives of the Omaha company re-
turned home. They recently ar
rived i'll Lincoln in force, however,
and it was not long before the OBJ
ject of their visit became known.
Amendment Added.
Senator c. Petrus Peterson had
early in the session introduced a
public utilities bill, S. F. 240, which
had remained on file, but had never
been pushed because the same sub
ject matter was covered in a bill
which the house passed. 1t now de-
velops that Howell succeeded in
having an amendment added to the
bill, virtually constituting new
measure, which paves the way for
state development of the water pow
err resources of the state.
Under the terms of the Howell
bill, when 100 voters of community
petition, they may initiate a water
board district. The proposition is
then to be voted upon and if ap-
proved by so per cent of the people,
the water board district is empow-
cred to furnish electrical current
and power to that community. The
bill gives the district the right of
eminent domain to build power lines
to any natural water power site and
likewise the right of eminent do
main in developing these sites. 1t
empowers the district to take the
current for distribution any place
III Nebraska.
Must Find Market.
In appearing before the commit
tee in support of the measure, Mr..
Howell said that to insure the Sue
cess of a project of this nature it
would be necessary to find a mar
ket in both Lincoln and Omaha. He
pointed out that a line of power
developments could be projected
along the Loup and some of the
other Nebraska streams especially
adapted to water power develop
ment which would supply the entire
eastern section of the state.
The bill has been placed on the
general file by the committee and
will probably come up for action
some time during the week.
