Successful manufacturing depends on reliable and cheap power. Chair man O. J. Shaw of the power com mittee, said in reporting to the Ne braska Manufacturers at the .Tues day afternoon session. Nebraska has been unfortunately situated in this respect because of the fact there is neither coal nor oil fuel in the state nnrl that th ulrpams 'o not furnish SUCh uniform and certain volumes of of them depend on purchased power, Half of all the horsepower used in the state i3 distributed in the form of electric energy, about two-thirds of this being purchased from central stations and the remainder being converted into electricity by the manufacturer from steam, water power or gasoline engines. The num- might just as well be said about the unnarnessed winds. The fact re mains that Nebraska is cot a natural water power state, and developments in the past prove this to be true. Out cf 276 water power installations 194 have been abandoned at a loss of about 4 million dollars. Mr. Shaw added: 4-1 4- Saturday, isoosnosr i sin BIG DOUBLE ice f' "a w . - y - 4- ii. . ' .
