Yankton Bridge | Good Investment for Omaha Trade Building Storks Offered l»y Banker Here as Aid 'to Connecting States. That tlie Yankton (S. D.l bridge over the Missouri river, now In process of construction, would prove a profitable investment was predicted here by E. R. Heaton, Yankton banker. “Federal statistics show that each of the 71 bridges over the Missouri or Mississippi rivers is paying divi dends,” Mr. Ifeuton said, “and we estimate the probable income from the Yankton bridge at $100,000 a year. The revenue of the pontoon bridge and ferry at Yankton is now $35,000 a year, and there are no railroad fa cUities." The bridge will cost about $1,100,000 As a part of a financing campaign Omaha will be asked in a campaign next week to subscribe $50,000 more, having purchased $80,000 of the stock. With W. C. Rusk, publisher of the Yankton Tress and Dakotan, Mr. Heaton is here to arouse Interest in the stock sale. "One can stay In Omaha six weeks Without meeting a Yankton man,’* Mr. Lusk said, "but Yankton Is only 350 miles away. In a county in which the per capita ownership of motor cars sets a national record, and is sur rounded by 100 miles of what the fed eral government says Is the richest agricultural land In America. “The bridge will open that rich ter ritory to Omaha and make neighbors of well-to-do persons who are now as far away commercially as if they were In New York." . Piers of the bridge already have been constructed at a cost of $500,000. Contracts for the superstructure have been awarded at a figure of $515,000. In (order that work may proceed, the bridge has been bonded for $300, 000, Yankton banks handling the is sue. Mr. Heaton said the bonds would be retired when the stock sub scriptions are paid.

"I played here at the old Boyd as Glenister, In ‘The Spoilers,’ and later was asked to see Colonel Selig in New York. I called and at that time weighed some 50 pounds more than when I played Glenister. “ 'You aren't the same fellow,’ he wailed. “ ‘No, I'm not,’ I replied, ‘but I was.’ “William Farnum was idle and I advised Selig to obtain his services.
