MOTOR COMPANY GETS READY FOR RUSH lUMtnllatlon of .Terr Mnehlnrrr for the Lllic the Pirn * Step In it Gen eral Cnmimltrn of Serv ice Improvement. The engineers who will have charge T tbc work of Installing the new electric power plant for the motor company will arrive from Chicago today. The board of directors of the motor company held a meeting on Sat urday afternoon for the purpose of dccld- . Ing whether or not It would be neceasa/y 'o i build an entirely new power housa or simply nlargo the one in present use. The majority f the directors rfero In favor of the plan of bandonlng the old house and locating the esv plant on the north side of the tracks y Iho side of the car barns and shops. This as long been the Intention of the company nd flops were taken a year ago to prepare or It. An ordinance waa secured from the Ity council grunting the company permission o build switches and tracks across Avenue B In the rear of the shops. No decision was cached ai the meeting of the director ? , but hero was a preponderance of sentiment de- eloped favoring the UPC of the fine brick jowcr houce originally built If It could be wed to proper advantage. It was finally de er-mined to await the arrival of the en- _ Ineers today end get their report upon the matter of the most advantageous location for ho new plant. Some consideration haa been given the matter by the engineers and the assurance has Been given that the present mlldlng can bo ueed provided It Is enlarged iUfllcIcntly to provide accommodations to : he new machinery. The new machinery will provide about 750 additional horse power and will consist of me large compound engine geared directly , o two generators. When It Is Installed it will give sufficient power to operate all of ho trains that arc now running and still iave a comfortable margin left for emer gencies. The old plant will not be dis mantled , but will bo kept In readiness for mmedtato use on all occasions when the rush of exposition visitors makes It neces sary to put on more trains. If the present > ulldlng Is retained there will be an addi tion built to it , giving about twice the room now afforded. The motor company Is making every needed preparation to anticipate a heavy traffic during the year. The arrangements 'or ' landing the Council Bluffs vltltorn at the exposition gates have not been altogether completed , but it is Intimated by the officers of the company that there will be no trouble and no delay In Teaching the grounds. If the trains are switched on to the Omaha tracks at Thirteenth street all trains at cer- aln hours will be run through to the grounds without change. The exposition traffic Is also receiving the attention of some of the railroad ? , notably iho Union Pacific , the Terminal company and the Northwestern. The Union Pacific and the Northwestern are In excellent shape to run through trains to the grounds , but lt < is understood that if the Union Pacific con cludes to do so , running Its trains from the depot at Ninth and Broadway , the North western wllj not Interfere with the traffic. The Terminal ) people can reach within 900 feet of the .ground * by running their trains over the new bridge , and If they lay their tracks on Union avenue they will be In the beat position of all of the road * to handle the traffic.There Is on old Injunction In the way of the company , preventing the con struction of Its line up Ninth street , and it is probable that a movement will be made In 'the near future to have this Injunction dissolved and the way cleared for Immediate work.

He aiys : The observance of a tree planting anni versary sYiould be attended with memories an pweet as the anniversary of the baby's birthday. The school should be remem bered , nnd addition ! made to Its grounds ; the home should be remembered and Im provements made on tbe lawn : animals | shoud be remembered , and wind-breaks set out , that they may have better pro- tectlen frcm the cold weather of fall and spring and the birds should be remembered , and trees planted where they may find sanctuaries from their enemies and nest ing places for their .families , to the end that the insect world may be kept In check. The young should plant tree * In recogni tion of the obligations they owe to those who planted trees for them. The old should plant trees to Illustrate their hope for the future and their concern for tnose who are to come after them. Tbe economist should plant trees , especially In the prairie country , to beautify the landscape and ameliorate the sweep ct the north wind. ' And as we plant trees on Arbor day d.he kindred feeling to that experienced on the FourtYi of July should possess us. For the time being , we are one In mind ; we are one I people , engaged In something to do good to mankind. . .

Gere , for many year * a laborer on her father' * farm near Ellsworth , la. U now turns'out that when Mlas Staley gained a husband she lost a fortune aggregating $25- 000. Her name was Amelia Slmonson until she waa adopted by Staley. Staley was a hermit , who lived on a farm of 3GO acreu In Hamilton county , ncan Ellsworth , for eigh teen years without once leaving the place. Ho waa never seen and as the neighbors ueed to worry about him they would drop In once in a while to eeo If he waa still alive. Staley anally adopted the Slmonson girl and when he died ho left her all of hla property upon the condition that shs would not marry until she won 30 years old. Now that the girl hatt lost her right to the fortune by marrying at the age of 19 the heirs ot Staley have begun suit to obtain the property. These heirs claim that Slmonson worked on the sympathy ot the old hermit and forced his daughter Amelia to etay in the hermit's shanty and take care of him , so that finally the old man became attached , to her , adopted her as his daughter and when he died left her all his property.

DETROIT/ April 17. Stanley W. Turner ot the government Alaskan relief expedition , who has Just returned to thla city , said today that when the expedition arrived at Talya It found two-thirds of the population gone elsewhere , and accordingly the expedition disbanded , turning over the supplies to the army post thorc. He said : "I expect the world will be surprised \vhh it knows the amount of gold that , wilt be brought out of the Klondike this year. In my opinion the ftrut and uecond shipments that will come away around at St. .Michaels will aggregate from $6,000,000 to $30,000,000. " Mr. Tumor believes' the government appro prlatlon of $200,000 for relieving the Klon dike miners has hardly been warranted by the results accomplished , as relief so far has been extended to no one In Alaska. mivrii IIECOIID. 'Mnjor Henry Mc-Klilctrry Dr. Henfy McEld.rry , chief s'irgcon of the Department of the Missouri with the runk of senior major , died ot Hot Springs , Ark. jerterday morning at C o'clock. The de cease. ! had been 111 with Orlght's disease for o few weeks and his death was dJe to this ailment. About six weeks ago ho was married In Baltimore. Md. , to a young woman of that city. On returning to hla post at Lcavcaworth , Kan. , he was taken ill and the disease was soon found to be Brlght's disease. When Fort Lcavcnworth was placed In the Department of the Mis- ' sourl he became chief surgeon of the ( Je- partment on account of his seniority.

Tl.c news o'f ' hla death was received with pro found regret by the officers of the depart ment here. It is probable that Dr. E. A. Koerper of the Twenty-second infantry , sta tioned at Port Crook , Neb. , will be nr.ile chief surgeon of the department , as he ranked next to the deceased In the service In this department.
