ITHURSDAY, PLATTE CANAL PRACTIC ABLE — Oity Engineer Gives the 'Pllm Endorsement After Thorough Inyestigation, ALL FEATURES CAREFULLY CONSIDERED Water Supply, Constructlon, Transmission of Power and Cost Treated of in De- tall-Advantages to Clty—~ Figures Given.’ Clty Engineer Rosewater, after making a careful study of the Platte river canal pro ject, has made a report in which he holds to the opinion that the plan fs not only a feasible one but that sufficlent power can be developed therefrom at all seasons of the year to meet all the requirements. The plan ot utilizing the Missouri river he considers impracticable, as the fall of the river is in- sufficient, although the volume is, of course, ample, He river has a feet per sec- point on the finds that the BElkhorn minimum flow of 300 cubic and from Arlington to a valley, seven miles from Omaha, fall of 135 feot. This would produce 3,700 constant avatlable horse powes or, on a storage plan of fourteen hours daily, $,880 horse power for ten hours, and with Sunday and night storage, 10,300 horse power. The Platte river, with the combined flow of the various branches of that stream, the Loup and the Elkhorn, has a minimum avallable discharge of at least 22,000 feet per second. The river at Fremont s 222 fect above the level of Omaha and 189 above the level of the Papillion at Seymour park. Fully half of the total flow of the Platte can be credited to the Loup, which has a comparatively constant and even flow. The tapping of the Platte for irrigation purposes, in the opinion of Mr. Rosewater, would not interfere with the use of the stream for power purposes, for the reason that the water is not used for this purpose at the time of year in which the minimum flow occurs, and even if the entire volume of the Platte was diverted to this use the flow of the Loup and the Blkhorn would be sufficient. “I am satisfied,” says Mr. Rosewater, “from the gaugings mads, that a power canal based upon 3,000 feet of constant flow could be successfully developed, and there can be no possible doubt of the practicability of any of the canal projects developed by Mr. Wiley for the Canal and Power company, based upon a minimum of 1,500 feet con- stant flow. In coming to this conclusion I have compared at the rate below the lowest annual rainfall in the valleys of such of these streams, and compared therefrom the average amount of water they reccive per second. The following is the result: Area, miles. ond, Papillion would have g Flow, basls Flow. basis. l‘.‘l‘.fif;.n i 7000 11700 20 up..... 14000 21000 18 I 67000 5 9 Total.. “The ratio of mean flow of the Missourl river to the rainfall on fits watershed is 15 per cent; the upper Mississippi, 24 per cent; Ohlo, 2 per cent; Arkansas, 15 per cen Red river, 20 per cent; lower Mississippi, 25 per cent. In Burope the Danube has a flow of 22 per cent, the Ganges in India is re- ported at § per cent, and, the lowest ratio on record is the Nile in Egypt-at 2% per cent. Taking for purposes of safety 5 per cent a a basis for the areas of the Platte and Elk- horn rivers, we have as’a busis of constant flow: Blkhorn, 585 cubic feet per second; Loup, 1,030 cubic feet per second; Platte, 512 cubic fect per second., WATER SUPPLY BOUNTIFUL. hus it will be seen ihat, ylewed from any standpoint, the safe,'constant canal sup- ply from the Elkhorn and Loup streams will bo 1,685 cubic feet per second, and that of the Platte moro than one dfd a half times much more. It is thus evident that there is no room for doubt as to the water supply on any of the plans so far proposed. The plan outlined embraces the use of water from the Platte and Elkhorn com- ‘Almost as Palatableas Milk” This is a fact with regard to Scott’'s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. The difference between the oil, in its plain state, is very apparcnt, In Scott’s Emulsion you detect no fish-oil taste As it is a help to diges- tion there is no after effcit except good effect.

The plans outlined In the schemes heretofore proposed by the Canal Power company are as follows ‘1. A canal based on a continuous dellv- ery of 1,600 cuble feet of water per second. . A canal based on 760 cublc feet con- tinuous discharge per second, with its utiliza tion mainly for ten hours and storage of the flow the balance of fourteen hours. ““The first would furnish 18,567 horse power at tho water wheel shaft and cost about $2,000,000 to complete. The second would develop 22,279 horse power for the ten hours only and would cost about $1,500,000, “Tho third scheme is an enlargement on the first plan by developing storage area for fourteen hours daily which would develop 44,560 horse power at the water wheel and would add about $750,000 to the cost. “The first plan for comparison of cost on ten-hour basis, assuming 6,500 horse power to be consumed for electric lighting, street car service, water works pumps at night, would cost $80 per horse power. The third, with storage on fourteen-hour basis, developing 44,- 560 horse power, would cost less than $62 per horso power. ' By increasing the storage capacity to utilize the Sunday flow, each of capacities above would be increased 16 2-3 per cent, but the probable cost of creating such a vast storage capacity would be too great to warrant it “It will be seen from what has stated that the utilization of only 1 cubie feot per second under extreme development will produce over 50,000 horse power on the ten-hour basis, and in case of a demand, with 8,000 cubic feet per second, the possi- bilities in store exceed 100,000 horse power “The features of construction and supply have been sufficiently analyzed to warrant no doubts as to the practicability from an en- glncering standpoint of such an undertakin OTHER REQUIREMENTS DISCUSSED. “The other requirements to make such utilization practicable are: “1. Is there demand for such power at a distance of seven miles from Omaha? ‘2, It so, what will be the relative cost of this power, all things considered, to the most economical steam plant? “3, Can this power be transmittes city and distributed when wanted ficiently lower rates per horse power is and can be developed with machinery ? ““As to the first there can be no doubt, but as it Is not a question of engineering it will not be discussed here, “The cost of steam power, as also the cost of steam plant, varies in proportion to the size of the plant, the economical operation of the engines and boilers and the price paid for cpal. From the best data obtainable I con- sider a fair estimate at the cost of a 1,000 horse power plant complete at from $5 $60 per horse power; in other words, using the same term for comparison of water and am power developed for distribution, as per horse power at the wheel shaft. “The annual expense of a plant of 1,000 horse power, as deduced from the best of authorities, s as follows: Depreclation, 4 per cent; interest, 5 per cent; repairs, per cent; taxes, 1 per cent; insurance per cent; total, 13 per cent. Thirteen per cent of $53 is $7.15, which, therefore, should be charged to the general expense of horse power per annum. Taking the best results obtained here in Omaha with current rates of fuel and labor, the cost per horse power at the shaft for steam is §3 0 compare the relative nef cost of water power at the wheel with this, take plan No. 1, costing §80 per horse power for develop- ment of plant. Operating cxpenses will be: Interest, 5 per cent; depreciation, 4 per cel repairs, 4 per cent; operating, 2 per Xes, 1 per cent; total, 12 per cent, or $6.90. By plan No. 2 it would be 38.08. By the other suggested modification it would be $7.44 at the wheel shaft. TRANSMISSION OF he third question, as to whether th power can be transmitted to the city ecd nomicaily and furnished at lower rates than steam power, is yet to be treated. There are throe practical ‘methods of transmitting power over considerable distances: By clec tricity, by compressed alr and through con- dnits” by direct water pressure. From the most religble data_obtainable the cost of transmitting power by electri taking 20, 000 horse power as a basts, and the cost at the canal at $9.60, Is $25.76 delivered at. the point of consumption; taking $8.08 as the cost at the canal, it would be ; and ith the cost at $7.44 it would be $22.68. All other things being equal, there are advantages derived in the employment of compressed alr transmissign over electric or hydraulic transmiss®n. The mechanism is much more simple, there is no danger in connection with its use, it is applicable di- rect to old engines, and aside from more tended application, the lost power of t mission can be regained with the application of very little heat where the power is used, it being claimed that over 70 per cent of the heating power of coal can be derived in heating compressed air, while less than 15 per cent is obtained in its application to the stean engine. “From figures furnished by Mr. William Saunders, civil engineer of the Sargeant Drill _company, and others, the following estimate of the cost of transmission is made: The cost per net horse power of compressors and seven miles of mains for a 20,000 horse power installation is $52.70 per horse power. The annual cost of transmission on this basis s §22.15 on the basis of cost of power at the water wheel by scheme No. 1. On the basis of the cost according to scheme No. 2 it would be $19.15 delivered at the point of consumption of the power. With power at the canal on the basis of scheme No. 3 it would be $19.07 delivered to the point of consumption,” Accompanying this is a lengthy report of Mz, Gillam, a noted English civil engineer concerning the transmission of power at Birmingham, England, by this means, and in_which the plan is recommended highly, The report then takes up the question of hydraulic transmission, and continues as follows: “An investiggtion of the featurcs govern- ing the transmission of the power by means of water in conduits under pressure from Seymour park to the Missouri bottoms ¢ velops at a glance that the topography and distance is wholly unsuitable to favorable ults from ar conomical standpoint, for on further detail computations in reference to hydraulic transmission are been to the at suf- than steam POWER.

There are very few factories or establishments of any Kind in need of power to that extent, as the greater pro- portion of power users have engines vary- ing from 5 to 100 horse power. “The cost per net horse power as de- veloped in plants with such engines from the investigations of leading mechanical engineers in the United States is about as follows per year of 308 days of ten hours cach: o Horse Power. % #175 00 Wer oneinos 108 75 ower cizinos L PRRIAD power eniines power ¢ Dower enine power enzi power enz power enines power engines 00-horse nes 400-ho 300-liors “The above is from a carefully prepared schedule by Charles E.

The first re port is as follows: Engines tested range from four to twenty-four horse power nom- inal, engines tested under most favorable conditions with nearly uniform loads, Best results gave consumption of elght and one- half pounds of slack coal per horse power per hour and lowest thirty-six pounds per horse power per hour. The second report shows the average ten lhorse power engines in Birmingham use from six- teen to twenty-cight pounds of slack per horse power per hour, and conclud with a summary showing the total cost of operating a ten horse power plant, inclusive of repairs, interest, otc,, at $53.60 per horse power per year of 308 days of nine hours each, The above being per indicated horse power, which is 20 per cent less than actual, and per day of nine in place of ten hours, When corrected to the standard of actual horse power delivered per n year of ten hours daily, basis amounts to about $70 per horse power. Making due allowance for the difference fn the cost of materials and labor In this country, it can be safely as sumed at between $90 and §100 per horse power, a result closely approximating Mr Emery's schedul> as to cost of power de veloped from ten horse power engines here. COST OF LOCAL STEAM PLANTS “Having now shown the relative economy of different steam plants in the east and abroad, I also submit a tabular exhibit of the cost of steam plants in Omaha, Lincoln and Council Bluffs to the extent I have beeu able to obtain them. There age very power users here as elsowhere who. make tests sufficiently accurate to warrant exact results. All of them, with possibly few ex ceptions, attain results per nominal borse power, which In the case of ten and twenty horse power engines, in view of 20 per cent loss by friction In the engines themselves, place the cost of power at 2 per cent less than it really is. Summarized my conclusfons after making thesp investi- gatlons are: “First, There Is over 50 per cent loss sus- tained in the operation of power plants as generally used. Second, This power can be more economically secured through large central power installations. Third, That with the existing conditions at Omaha water power is cheaper than steam power for that purpose. Fourth, As between electricity and compressed air as a mode of transmission, for lighting and electric railway purposes, an clectrical installation of sufficient capacity directly connected with the water wheels will be preferable. For general power purposes the grounds of greater safety and ecase of polication and constancy of operation, com- pressed air would be more desirable and economical. Appended is the table showing engineer's figures for indicated horse power In local plants and which are regarded as fully 20 per cent of the cost per actual horse power The cost of the coal was deduced from ap- proxin ined _at the various i ilatfons mentioned.

They also have in use there eyery money saving device, and the plant is managed as economically as could well be. ADVANTAGES TO POWER USERS, “Now as to what the canal would mean to power users in this city, my investiga- tions and flgures show that even If con- structed on the smailest plan proposed, it would furnish power for gemeral use in Omaha at a saving of fully 50 per cent, while even the largest consumers of power would find it profitable to use. If the canal was built on the larger scale, It would mean just that much greater saving. What it would mean for Omaha can be told by any one who knows what goes to build up a large city. 1 have devoted myself solely to the consideration of the feasibility and practicability of the scheme, and there is no doubt that power can thus be distributed over the city from a central power plant west of the city by either electricity or com- pressed air, or both, at a figure that would mean the ‘discontinuance of steam power plants In Omaba. Plants that are now in operation would not need to be changed In the least, if compressed air were used, for it d be turned directly into the boilers as they now stand, or could be applied Lo the engine direct, cutting ot the boilers. In thig way the steam plant would still be held in reserve if 5o desired to be ready in case of a breakdown. In case of electrical trans- mission, electric engines or motors would have to be put in. This might not make s0 much difference to a plant to bo bullt hereafter, but It would require owners of factories now in operation to go to the extra expense of electrical machinery that would not be necessary if alr was the agent of transmission."

MUCH ADMIRED COLONNADE DESTROYED Firemes In Thelr Work by Hanks of Drifted Snow and Have n C of the Other Bulldings Damage CHCAGO, Fob. 14.—Again has paid a state visit to the grounds. Fate or the fire fiend World's fair he firebugs have evidently a largo- sizod grudge against the standing monu to the glory of the great White City iree times now since the gates were closed tosight- seors have the bulldings been attacked by flames, and now the beauty and symmetry of the original whole have been sadly and permanently marrod, This time the blaze started at a point very near where the firemen made a flerce fight against the flames last week. When t scen about 11 o'clock this morning, the flames were crawling up the pillars. Quickly they mounted higher and higher and the fire grew hotter and more dangerous. The first alarm was soon followed by a second call, but before the additional engines reached the burning structure its destruction and that of the large buildings adjoining on elther side was threatened, Another call was available engines in Woodland and Hyde park were soon hurrying to the scene. Drifted snow on the ground made the work of the firemen slow and before sufficient streams were directed toward the burning structure its timbers were crackling in a rapidly spreading The fire was first seen about 100 yards west of the part burned last week. It was inside the Colonnade and skirting the south end of the canal separat- ing the Agricultural building and Machinery hall. The fire was west of the center line and nearer Machinery hall. Starting at a point nearly back of the Egyptian obelisk it spread cast and west through the Colon- nade, covering a distance of eighty feet. The light woodwork offered little resist- ance to the flames and the pillars and or- nate roof decorations along the Colonnade were soon In ruins. Thee groups of ani- mals in statuary standng on the roof wer burned. Piremen were hampered not only in reach- ing the Colonnade, but the drifts delayed them in fighting the blaze. It is difficult to move the heavy engines and the lines ot hose were clogged in the snow. The en- gines drew a water supply from the canal and no difficulty in the matter of supply was encountered. Shortage of coal, however, was some disadvantage, as the supply wagons made slow trips. Some twenty firemen were under part of the Colonnade when Rire O'Malley, fearing that the central of the structure would fall, ordered them out. They had barely drawn away from the place when the top of the Colonnade was scen to rock for a moment and the next instant it fell crashing to the ground, carry- ing with it the magnificent quadriga by Wagner that adorned the central part of the top of the Colonnade. Manager E. D. Gralam of the grounds and buildings, ccted that the emalier colonnades con- neeting the Machinery hall and Agricultural building be, destroyed to keep the flames from reaching those buildings. The firo damaged the Assembly hall in the cast portion of the structure, and threatened to reach the rooms on the west side occupled by Artist Frank D. Millet as headquarters for his department during the fair. Firemen and fair officers agree that the fire was of incendiary origin. They regard it as another attempt of the kind made so frequently recentl The fire was pr ionts sent out and all the blaze, the main Marshal portion ctically extinguished be- fore 2 p. m.
