SAYS IT.WOULD SAVE MILLIONS IN MONEY Would Ad4 to Value of Outlying Land, Build Up Commercial Interests and Make Park Por In connection with the formation of the Missouri River Improvement assoclation Thursday, Park Commissioner Cornish ex- ploited a scheme for preventing floods in the East Omaha distriot, lying in the vicin- ity of Florence and Cut-Off lakes. He asserts that the expenditure of $119,600 for a dike will result in the added value of nearly $5,000,000 to 7,600 acres of land, situ- ated partly in Towa and partly in Nebraska. Further, that it will remove the sole ob- Jection to a magnificent public park con- tiguous to Cut-Off lake, At the north olty limits of Omdha the Missour! strikes off in an almost easterly direction, flowing thence in a wide semi- ofrcle .and resuming the course directly southward near the foot of Burt street. The land enclosed in the semi-circle thus made is called the East Omaha distriot Paft of It was 1aid out for & manufacturing suburb by the old East Omaha Land com- pany, pavements constructed and a num- ber of factories are now: established there. To the nofthward are scattered homes, truck gardéns and a dense growth of trees and underbrush. In times of high water nearly the whole section 1s inundated. The water comes pouring in frém the concave bend of the river opposite Florence and north of Flor- ence lake until stopped by the pavements | erected at high water level In the south part of the tract. Keeps Value of Land Down. “Because of this fact,’ says Park Com- missioner Cornish, “the land is cheap and much of |t has no value at all. Bome of it rents for 84 an acre annually. The ever constant danger of floods makes the building of factories or homes, or the e: tensive cultivation of the soll hazardous. 1 have had plans drawn for an embank- men along the south shore of the river north of Florence lake, and the estimate of the engineering department is'that a dike 100 feet wide Would cost $155,408, while one seventy-five feet wide, which would sufce, would cost $119,69. It would af- tord absolute protection, not only against floods, but against the destruction of land. 1 have figured it out that the added value to the 7,600 acres involved would not be far short of $5,000,000. The last ground of obw jection to the Cut-Oft lake park, which I have long advocated, would be obviated. You would see the Bast Omahe -distriot covered by factories, small farms and dwellings, and the result could not fall to pay many times for the expenditure.” It is in this district that the river has destroyed scores of acres of rich farm lands during the present year. The Improvement association heard Mr. Cornish, but took no action on his pro- ject, as It had not arrived at the point of dealing with the local necessities. How- ever, it was recognized that the condition #lves Omaha a special interest in the move- ment, and for that reason it has been made the headquarters of the new associa- tion, HUNTER DECLINES TO SERVE Resigns as Member of Board of Re- view for Fersonal Busi- Willlam' J. Hunter, who was appointed and confirmed as a member of the Board of Review for city assessments, called on Mayor Moores Friday and declined to serve. He sald that he could not afford to lose the time and that his grocery business would suffer If he were to spend a month at the ‘clty hall. The mayor, therefore, is | called upon to select another man as the third member of the board. He had not declded upon the appointee yesterday. Hunter, it was considered, would make anh effclent member, as he served on the board last year. Tt was urged that he would accept this fall because he had pre- vious experience and could do better work than. ¢ new man. “I sacrificéd by personal Interests to serve 'ast year,” he replied, “and T think my duty has been performed. The place pays but $5 a day and I cannot have my business looked after properly without losing money. WILL OPEN STATION MONDAY Government Ofcials Are Here to Begin Recruiting for Navy Apprentices.

Major MeClern Tent Quarters. as Excele Major B. J, McClernand, chief of staff of headquarters, Department of the Missouri, has returned from Fort Des Moines. He reports the new post there as ready to recelve two companies of troops. The post is at present garrisoned by a detachment of twenty-five men from Jefferson Bar- racks. This detachment probably will be relieved at an early date by two com- panies of infantry, pending the arrival of the Eleventh cavalry from the Philippines, which has been assigned to that station. The post will require about a year for its completion, when it will be adequate for a regimental garrison, of headquarters, band and eight troops of cavairy. Major McClernand s of the opinion that when completed Fort Des Molnes will be one of the handsomest military posts in the United States. NO SETTLEMENT YET MADE Machinists Meet Harriman on Plece- work in Shops, but Decision Hangs Fire, Samuel Grace and George W. Smith of the Unfon Pacific machinists have just re- turned from New York, where they, with other representatives of the craft, con- ferred with E. H. Harriman on the matter of plecework in the shops, which still is unsettled. President James O'Connell, Vice President M. J. Ford and Hugh Doran, di- fector of the International Assoclation of Machinists, were the other confreres. Mr. Grace stated that when he left New York matters were still undetermingd and he could not make any announcement until he viewed the situation from this end. Mr. Grace stated clearly, however, that no fur- ther outbreak among the machinists was anticipated or warranted from present con- ditions, PRAS G . ORDER THE FENCES REMOVED County -Comm Trouble Farm oners May Have Over Hikhorn ¢ Dispute. Trouble is anticipated by the county com- missioners over the erection of a fence north of the town of Elkhorn by Willlam Hopper, jr. This fence has been placed across a we!l traveled road which divides an elghty-acre farm owned by Mr. Hopper. The road has beer in use as a public high- way for thirty years. On this ground it is clalmed that the right of the county to call it & public highway has ‘been incone trovertibly established and that Mr. Hop- per's crection 4f the fence is In direct vio- Jation of law. ‘The county commissjoners have instructed the suryeyor of Chicago precinct to notify M.

When Joe Kelly shows us . the third edition of the “Head Waiters" at the Krug theater this aftqrnoon and tonight, it fs promised that the entertainment will be found new In every sense, music, songs, fun, wardrobe, scenery, all have been un- stintingly provided to maintain the trade- mark of this favorite comedian. It is this spirit of enterprise which has placed this organization in the front ranks of musi- cal comedy attractions, The company this year numbers thirty people and the choral adjunct is nearly twenty strong. Manager Fred E. Wright was four months in selecting the forty girls who make up the chorus of “The Beauty Doe- " Kerr & Bhelley’'s latest musical suc- cess, which Mr. Wright will present with the original company at the Krug Sunday afternoon. In nearly every city where this “beauty chorus” has been seen this season photographers have besleged the inanagement with requests for permission to photograph the girls. A feature un- usual in musical comedy choruses Is that these girls can sing; indeed, the quality of thelr vocal work ls such as to give “The Beauty Doctor” a decldedly operatic atmosphere. With matinee and evening perfurmances today one of the most pleaging and big- gest weeks the Orpheum has experienced will be brought to a close. Commencing matinee tomorrow the new bill embraces elght varied features. Frederick Bond, who distinguished himselt as a comedlan in the “legitimate” and his own company will preeent a playette called My Awful Dad.” Arthur Buchanan, Georgia Benton and Bthel Tassin are supporting him. Another prominent feature will be Ag- nes Mahr, a pretty terpischorian queen who 1s known as the “American Tommy Atkin Marlo “and Oldo will contribute the first horizontal bar per- formance seen here this scason. Hal Qodfrey and company will be seen in “A Very Bad Boy." Joe Newman will render his own humorous songs. Wood and Ray will dispense “A Bunch of Nom- sense.” Joe Le Claire, the famous jugsler, and “Uncle Tom's Cabin” fllustrated in the Kinodrome plctures completes the bill.

APPOINTMENT COMES IN DECEMBER The fight for the postmastership of | Omaha is rapidly coming to & focus and the rivalry and anxlety of the contestant 0f whom there are nine, are reaching fever heat. The appointment is to be made about December 20 and thus far Senator Millard, upon whom devolves the power qf deter- mining who shall get this rich pldm, has not made a decision. The senator is non- committal and says he will not make up his mind on the matter until after he gets back to Washington, and he will not start for the capital until next Friday. The nine republicans who are supposed to be striving for the postmastership are: The present incumbent, Postmaster Crow, Assistant Postmaster James L Woouard, Mel Uhl, Robert Cowell, H. E. Palmer, Clement Chase, Danlel H. Wheeler, Frank Hanlon and T. W. Blackburn. I decline to say who the nine men are,” asserted Senitor Millard when asked for a statement. ‘1. presume it is pretty well known that both Mr. Crow and Mr. Wood- ard are out for the place,” he added. “I| am violating no confidence, 1 think, when 1 say that each one'of these gentlemen ‘would feel hard if he was not recommended | by me for the place. I will not say at present who I think will be the choice or who seems to stand the best show. I will not give any Intimation, for 1 have not made up my mind for my own satistaction and will not until I get back to Washing- | ton. , The place will be fllled by December 2. It is a good office, pays $4.200 & yc in salary and will pay $5,000 in a couple o years more if the receipts continue to | crease as they have been doing. It's a fmportant office, too, for it employs a larsc number of men and women directly and pays out a large amount of money, in fact all its receipts, since the establishment of the rural free delivery service.” Orow Gives Up Hope. It fs pretty generally understood on in- side circles that Postmaster Crow has about abandoned hope of getting the posi- tlon again. He declined to make any contribution to the last campaign fund, saying that he expected to retire to private | lite. However, he would not turn down the job If it was again tendered him. Woodard is depending on his record as assistant postmaster, in Which capacity he has been awaiting promotion for some time. Mel Uhl, business manager of the Dally News, was a member of the legis- lature that made Mr. Millard senator, and that 1s the wire which he is pulling to land him the office. Robert Cowell h Been the chairman of republican commit- tees, and as such managed two successful republican campaigns, the cfty and county, and #s depending upon his good record and alleglance to the party for reward. Han- lon s somewhat of a dark horse, whose personal friendship of Senator Millard is his strong card. As for Tom Blackburn he I hoping on the basis of discredited promises ‘made him in the prospect of Mercer's re-election last fall. Blackburn is mot regarded as a formidable candidate.
