On September 2, when comptroller issued his fall call in Bank deposits today are, in addi- tion, $15,000,000 greater than they | were oh the day of the last comp- troller’s call, June 30 this year. Bankers attribute this enarmous gain to two things. One, of course, is the wonderful growth of Omaha and the accompanying growth in busi- |ness. The other is that banks are | holding onto their cash in anticipa- | tion of requests for money from coun- [ try banks, which alwa_ys receive heavy | demands for loans just before the | feeder cattle market ‘opens. | Loans also showed gains over a | year ago and the last call, indicating ‘an increased business activity in Oma- ha and the tributary territory.

By A. R. GROH. The old Missouri, like most big riv- ers, loves its little joke at the.expense | of puny man. It likes to reach over and steal a few hundred acres of farm | land from farmers along its, bagks oc- | casionally, Sometimes it changes its |channel and leaves an expensive | bridge high and dry. | R.B. Howell an * the Omaha Water | board heartily ' wish the Missouri | jest. For they fear that some day the jolly old stream will take a notion to cut itself a new channel, which would leave the great Florence pumping sta- tion at least half a mile from the water. What a fine joke that would be! How the river would laugh as it flowed on its way, half a mile from the pump- ing station, with no water to pump! Threatens in Past It almost did this very thing several times in the past. You see, the river curves and sweeps westward just above Florence, and just below Flor- ence it curves again and sweeps east- ward. By omimnr both these curves the river could flow straight across the low ground and surely “have the laugh” on the pumping station and 200,000 thirsty people. Do R. Beecher Howell and his brave Water board fear the powerful river and its threatened joke? Not by a reservoirful! “We are prepared, reasonably pre- pared,” said Mr, Howell, with a calm, easy, heroic, villain-defying smile. “On the Iowa shore,” he continued, pointing dramatically in a north- northeastwardly direction, “at the point where: the river has several times threatened to cut a new chan. nel, you can see great piles of willow limbs. You can see great coils of ca- ble. You can see many carloads of stone. You can even see little houses for the workmen to live in. Riprap Work, “We already have a lot of riprap- ping and revetment work at this dan- gerous spot. When the river changes the shape of this curve so as to threaten new points we immediately strengthen the threatened bank.” Nor is this all, good people. If the river some time lhouhr baffle all at- tempts to keep it in the present chan- nel, if it some time should make that short cut and leave the pumping sta- tion half a mile away, we will still not go thirsty. “In that case,” said Mr. Howell, “we will dig a ditch from the new riyer channel over to the pumping station. “Then we will station a barge in the new river channel. On this barge will be electric pumps, worked by ele¢tricity from the Florence plant. “The pumps' will raise the water the three or four feet necessary so that it will flow through the ditch ALAMIT HOLMES-ADKINS Chassis, $325.00 Touri Runabout, $345.00 guns—heairy powerful guns of smaller !
