MANAGER OF BUREAU TELLS OF PLANS Farmers from Easters e States Into Nebraske and Other Rich Territory of the Northwest. 0. M. McKinney, general immigration agent of the Harriman lines, was fo Omaha yesterday returning from the Pacific coast, ‘where he has been with his corps of sub- ordinate agents, making arrangements for the extensive immigration crueade which the Harriman people bave mapped out. Mr. McKinney's headquarters will be In Chicago from mow on. He ocomes from New York to assume charge of this new department. “It is the plan of this buresu,” sald Mr, McKinney, “to bring Amerfcans from the eastern and central states and colonize them in the great western states. We shall, of course, reach over the waters and take in all the foreigners who want good homes fn this exceliest country, bui primarily our scheme contemplates the transportation of the American farmer of the cast. “The movement has already and we propose during September and Oc- tober to create such uflux of settlers nts the and northwest as has never before been seen. There are vast acres of fertile soll In Nebraska and every other western state open to settlement and these people have already been convimced of the remarkable resources of the west. They are selling their farms for fabulous prices and preparing to cotne west and invest that eapital in your land. These people, trained in frugality, ecomomy and the most recent and modern methods of agriculture, will furnish to this section out here examples of homesteaders and husbandrymen. Un- like the new settlers from abroad, they do not have to be sducated in the American ‘ways, consequently they will become a more potent factor In accomplishi Just what the people of the west have long been striving for—a systematic colonization of their country.

With the aid of the government, which has been promised us in all legitimate means of ir- rigation, we ought and will bring this land up to the maximum degtee of oultivation. ‘Where now you see barren plains, barren simply for the want of irrigation and oul- tivation, you will in a short time see oases of the most remarkable fertility. “This is one means of colonivation In which the goverament must and will take the lead, because so much of the land s farmers of the east, men of means, 10 set- tle right here in Nebraska.” In almost all the large cities of the announcing a propor- of 12 cents on cattle.

PLEDGE FIVE THOUSAND Commissioners Take tion, but Directs that Surveys Be Made to Furnish Butie mate of Costs. DOLLARS A delegation from Valley walted on the Boar of County Commissioners yester- day to urge the comstruction of a bridge Across the Platte river at a point about midway of Douglas county’s western bound- ary. The dslegation imcluded W. H. Weekly, ©. 8. Mooney, C. Collen, 8. H. Howard, L. P. Larson, Frank Whitmore and O. N. Byars. These gentlemen brought with them & petition for'the bridge signed by the members of the bridge committes of the Valley Commercial elub. The board took mo action further than to adopt Ostrom’s resolution, directing the coulity surveyer to go to the proposed site on the south line of section 27, township 16, raage 5, make & survey of the premises and &ive an estimate of the cost of bullding a wood and iron bridge, with fce breaks, and also of bullding a pile bridge with two steel spans. Ostrom says that while the sentiment of the board may be favorable to & bridge, he has some doubt of the stability of an ordi- nary pile structure “Piling would have to be set about thirty-two feot apart,” he sald, “and in the spring the tremendous fce flow of the Platte might be blocked hy these pilings and result in an ice gorge that would either carry the bridge away Or cause an overflow to the southeast that would end in the county belng sued for more damage to farms. Cost of Rallroad Bridge. “The raflroad bridge a mile south of. this proposed site has cost the company thou- sands of dollare because of this very trouble. ““The bridge will be about 3,000 feet long, and I belleve it would cost $15,000 con- structed as proposed. With stesl spans that would make it safe it would cost, 1 Judge, about $33,000.” Several of the Valiey delegation spoke for the bridge and pledged that $5,000 would be raised by them if the board would vote & sum sufficient to cover the rest of the cost of the bridge. They sald that farmers across the river in Saunders county pledged $1,000 the other afternoon and will pledg other §$1,000, because very anxious to get sccess to the South Omaba stock yards and Omaha market. As conditions mow exist, with o bridge bstween Fremont and Ash- land, they are “off the earth,” whereas, with the bridge, it would be a drive of only & mile or two to Valle- and from there about twenty-four miles to Omaha. Graln s sald to be wmelling for from 1 to 2% cents more In Valley than across the rives The commissioners of Saunders county, residing in Wahoo, will 4o nothine. as it is mot to that county's interest, they think, but one.of the speak- ers stated that the people of the eastern part of that county are all anxious for, it and will provide land for the bridge’s terminus without cost. This latter state- ment was to oalm the board's fear that Saunders county might get out an injunc- tion or otherwise seek to prevent the bridge being bullt to that side of the stream. The Valley people say that whilo will be quite as advantageous to Omaha and the east end of the county, because of the heavy trading that will be drawn by the stock yards. x P —— NEBRASKA BUNDES SAENGERFEST.

LATEST AND BEST MACHINERY DESIRED Completion of Prospect Hill Extens! Reélleves Congestion on W, Hill Line Dy Ho & Busy % of the Day. ‘“The plans for the mew power house of the. company are not prepared yet,” sald General Manager Smith of the Omaha Street Raillway company. “There is much to be considered before we proceed to that work and not the least is the probability of the completion of the Platte River power canal. If, within six months, we see that the canal will be built, the pl will much dif- ferent for the bullding than it we cannot count upon using that power. “It is really dificult to know when plans are completed, anyway. Up to & few years ago plans were antiquated before they could be carried out on Account of the rapid improvement -made in electrion devices. The best machinery that could be had would be superseded by something better and a company investing its money in this machinery would find before the machinery was in operation that some fn- vention of later date would save money end iabor. It s not so bad now as it wus, but we are undoubtedly paying more for power today than we would if we had the Intest imprcvements fn devices for the gencration of electrical power.

F. A. Nash says that he believes the prospect for the construction of the canal was ‘never brighter than at present. An Omaha man who has returned from New York recently, while in.that oity saw Mr. King, the oastern representative of the Fremont people. Mr. King told him that 80 far as he knew there would be iittle done on the canal for some time, “I have considerable confidence in the plan,” he Is quoted as saying, ‘but at the same time 1 do not see how I can interest the meces- Sary capital.” With the completion of the Prospect Hill extenaion of the Harney street line much of the congestion of the Walnut Hill line during the busy hours of the day has been relieved. / A system of transters from the extension to the Walnut Hill line has been inaugurated at Thirty-third and Cuming streets, whereby people on the extension are transferred to the Walnut Hill and Benson cars and those from the latter cars to the northern part of the extension, The company mow has a large force at work on the western end of the Dod, stroot line changing the rails.
