HOW NATURE WAS IMPROVED UPON Two Ureoks and the Government Decided the Fate of the Future Metropolis, aud Men Took Advantage of the Fact Quickly. The lecture roomof the Young Men's Christian assoolation butlding was filled last night by a very intelligont and appreciative sudience, drawn thither by the announce- ment that Dr, George L. Miller would de- liver an address upon ‘Fifty Years of Omaha.” ‘The speaker began by asking the question, *‘What constitutes a city?’ In answering the question the speaker explained the necossity for the building of viilages, towns and cities. He sald that 1t took something more than brick blocks snd railroads to constitute a great city. A great city was the concentration of capital, backed up by brains, energy and morsl char- acter, establishing great commorcial, educa- tional and religious enterprises, Twenty five years ago, the speaker said, Omaha had no commercial history worth speaking of, During that period the city had grown to one of marvelous commercial interests aud count- less enterprises in which 140,000 people wore engaged, It 1s & Great Country, Ho began with his departure from his home in the east thirty-seven years ago, and followed his steps and meandering all the way to Omaha, At that time Chicago hud 60,000 population, St. Louis 74,430, consider- ablv in advance of Chicago. He then called attention to what he called the fmperial par- nllel or great agricultural region, reaching acress the continent north of the Ohio river. For ceutaries the great glaciers sweeping down f{rom the wnorth had deposited great wealth of soil o this region and now wo seo the teeming mill- ions of happy people cultivating the rich fields and building great manufac- turing cities. In this great belt the cities of New York, Cieveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Om had sprune up. This imporial belt was destined to rule the nation, and ascross the continent in this favored region the mightiest ciuies of the nation were sure to be planted, ‘Turning then to his experience in coming west Dr. Miller said that when he reached Chicago people told bim that the town had about reached its ultimate growth, In lowa be was informed that Nebraska was a sandy desert, and nearly all the ouffalo had gone to the other side of the mouuntains Lo get some- thing to eat. The speaker then described Kaoesville, which later became Coun cil Bluffs. It was ragged looking froantier village. He ’all rather conspicuous in walking about the new town because be was the ooly man in sight who wore & dress suit. Owaha Wasn't Pretty, It was man; long years before he had the ure of weariug another dress suit. hon he came over to Omaha the few set- tlers told bim be had better not think of taking up & residence on this side of the river. But be did all the same. He boarded log cavin hovel aad the coraer of the cabin with the words, *‘Dr. M on His first patient was an ludian pappoose aud itdied very soon after tho young doctor ribed for its veliet. Dr. Milier s poke feelingly of his departed friend Mr. Kellom, in whose honor the new Keliom sobool has been named. He also re- forvod to General Estabrook and others with whom tie had pleasaut relations ia pioucer days. l{nhfl’ml to the chaotic state of society in Omaba thirty-six years l{: Dr. Miller spoke eloguoutly of Rev. Reuben Geylord, wno “'brought Sunday across the Missouri river," l | Ho was the firs''missionary$who ever visited Omaba and was, tho spouker said, a truo man of God, Dr. Miller was proud to say that he bad becn a trustee of that first little church and some of tho tenderest, dearest memories ho had over known were tho mem- ories of that littie church and that grand man of God, who preached to the pioneers. ‘When Lifo Was Real. Dr. Miller then gave 4 graphic account of the beginning of the Union Pacific raflroad. At that time General Sherman said he nover hoped to see the road completed to connect with the Pacific coast, but he thought that some of the young men present at that time . might live to see a rail- road built all the way from Omaha to San Francisco. Four years from that time General Sherman rode across the conti- nentin a fine palace conch at the rate of thirty miles an hour. . “In 1867 1 was publishing a newsnaper,” said Dr. Miller, “‘and'f became somewhat onthused over the future of Omaha. I precicted that in ten yeas from that time Omaba would have 10,000 peoplo. Mostof the residents of Omaha thought 1 was insane and one of my mneighbors who still resides in this city said that I ought to bo sent, across the river. In less than five years Omaba had a population of 14,000 and people began to get their eyes open. The concentration of = capital backed up by brains and energy wero the lead- ing factors in making Omaba. but the very nature of things demanded that o great city should be built here or it never would have been built. What Saved Omal “There were threo sites along this great river that were struggling for the lot to fall upon them. They were Flovence, Omaha and Beilovue, The latter was the natural location, but a great city was demandea in this vicinity and we who fought for Omaha won tho fight. Millions of dollars could have been saved by selocting Bellevue as the site instead of thi But Omsha won, and here tho bills have been cut away and the city built. *“Iwo little creeks and the government of the territory really decided the matter. We havo now gotten past the place where we have to pay railroads to build to Omata, ‘Thre are fourteen groat railroads centering here and lots wore coming. They arescramb- ling to got hore, The city must move on, You might annibilate every man, woman and child in Omaha tonight without wiping out the city. It is a fixed fact. It is the fulfilling of ?dumlud that no buman power can con- wol.” Her Growth Net: Finlshed, Dr. Miller tuen advised the young men present not to be foolish, not to make the mistakes that the older citizens of Omaha had made in thinking thay Omaba would be- come only a small jnlapd city. He believed that Omaha would contain fully 400,000 peo- ple within twenty-tive years. ~He advised everyone to gol hold Of some real estate, some good acres closé’ to Omaba, and hold to them, Tho future would smile for the man who beld Omaha property. He believea that electricity would soon be- come the motor power far all railway trans- portation and the electtle’ car lines would make it possible for people to live out several miles and still be closer~to business by the actual time 1t required tfeach their places of business thun peopld who used to live within a mile of the center of the city. Unvetied & hitome. The speaker then sprung o sensation by saying that there was a great scheme on foot 10 bring water from the Platte through & great canal sufficient to turn all the wheels that could be empluyed in Omaba for half a ceatury. The uugeme was perfectiy feasible, although the mossbacks would undouotedly pronounce it a visionary hoax. In closings Dr. Miler advised young men present 1o learn habits of frugality and economy and place every dollar saved where it would bring good results later on. Tho address was bighly enjoyea and the speaker was fre- quently applauded. e Independent Order of Fores ¥ After the regular meeting of Court Eclipse 8t Gate City ball last Friday eveniug the doors were thrown open to a large number of guests who had been lnvited to join in a pleasant social gethering. Aftera few 1u- troductory remarks by the chief rancer, . L. Weaver, Mr. William M. Guller, in the the namo of Court Eclipse, presented o two of the most assiduous and deserving members, Brothers S.
