each of the now schemes Is entirely Inde

It Is learned that, according to tho com
putations baaed on tho flllns, tho Increased

the Fremont reservoir, thus Increasing tho
effectiveness of tho plant by at loast ono-

Proiiilurn .More llrllnlillltr.
The maximum of tho Fremont plant has
been figured at 30,000 horse-power, on a
ten-hour schedulo, with n reserve of about
fifteen days' water supply, whllo tho now
project would glo a minimum In tho
neighborhood of 30,000 horse-power, with a
thirty days reserve water supply, a much
more rellahlo water supply as a safeguard
against exhaustion or low water during the
dry season of tho year.
There Is no Idea, of course, that more
than ono of these water powers will bo de

LINCOLN. Juno U. (Special.) Two now
and extouslvo plaus for utilizing tho water
of the Platto river for power purposes hae
been brought to light through applications
for water rights, which have been filed
with tho secretary of tho State Hoard of Ir
rigation by Androw Ilosowatcj- of Omaha.
Iloth contemplato tho construction of a
canal and reservoir near tho rlvor, and
tho amount of money Involved reaches up
Into tho millions The power plants are
to be loeoted nt points convenient for sup
plying powor to Omaha, Lincoln, Fremont
nnd other cities In the samo section ot
the state. Secretary Dobson of tho Irriga
tion board will give tho applications im
mediate attention and If they do not con
flict with prior claims tho rights will be
granted.
Ono of the proposed canals will tap tho
Platto river about three miles northwest
of Llnwood, In Ilutler county, and extend
lu nn easterly direction pnrallol to tho
river to n point about two miles north of
Cedar muffs In Saunders county, whero
tho courso will change to a southeasterly
direction, and extend to a point about eight
miles south of Fremont, where tho reser
voir and power plant will bn located. Tho
total estimated cost of this system Is J3,
200.000. Tho dam will cost $t.000,000, tho
canal 11,000,000, tho machinery a like
amount and tho buildings J200.000,
Another Tup .Nenr firetnn,
Tho other plan Is to obtain water from
both the Platte and Elkhorn rivers about
three miles northwest of Gretna and run
It through a canal to a reservoir three
miles west of Springfield In Sarpy county.
The two rhers flow parallel near Oretna
and at this point It Is proposed to build
a dam through both. This dam would
form the outlet for a reservoir of twenty
tquarn miles, extending north almost to
Waterloo. It would be used for storing
water, but the power plant would be lo
cated at tho outlet of tho reservoir near
Springfield. Tho estimated cost of the dam
Is 1700.000, the machinery lt.000,000 and the
buildings J200.000, Tha canal and n neces
sary tunnel would cost 1700.000. maklnc
for the entire plant a total of !,600.000.

The application for right to tnp tho river
at Llnwood calls for 1.000 cubic feet per
second. Tho canal will bo twenty-fivo
miles In length and tho rnco at tho hcadgato
500 feet wide In tho clear. Tho water on
tho Moor at low stage Is to bo eight feet
deep. Tho canal Is to bo sixty fcot wide
nt tho bottom and eighty-four feet at tho
top, with n grade of one foot per mile.
Tho river near Llnwood furnishes 2,000
fret at low water, 3,000 feet at medium
stago and 20,000 at high water. Tho ap
plication states that work will bo com
menced March 1. 1902, and completed, with
tho plant In operation, March 1, 1005.
Tho other plant would demand 2,000
cubic feet of water per second, and Its
capacity would be 12,000-horso power. Ac
cording to tho specifications filed by Mr.
Itosewater, It asserts that tho dam near
Oretna Is to bo sixteen feet high nnd ex
tend a distance of four miles across the
two rivers. The canal will bo cloven miles
In length.

BIRTHDAY OF THE FLAG
o S pee In I Demount rut Ion In Celebra
tion of Anniversary
Locally.
The cent-r of nntlonal Interest yesterday
was an antiquated houso In Philadelphia
once known ns tho homo of Hotsy Ross, tho
mnkcr of tho first American flag. It was
12(1 years ago that tho flag was born, nnd
out of consideration for that event June
14 has come to bo known ns flag day. In
many cltb'3 formal ceremonies were ob
served In commemoration of tho birth of
"Old Glnrv," but In Omaha tho day was
well .advanced beforo people were reminded
of the recurrence of tho anniversary. Dur
ing tho forenoon, however, tho flags at tho
city hall were Hung to tho vigorous breeze,
a few blrq hung on the outer walls nnd a
great mat y smaller ones being disposed
upon tho (handcllers nnd nt other conspic
uous pomn.
At 11 p" lock three large flags were hung
from the heavy stone balcony over tho main
entranro 'o tho government building, nnd
strings of smallor ones wero disposed
across the front of tho structure above. In
the public schools, probably owing to the
multlpllr.t . of other functions In course of
proparatlo'i. thero was no other observance
of the dny than tho running up of tho flags
upon all o' tho buildings. A very few pa
triotic r it ''.ens and business men had flags
flying ns oon as the fact that It was flag
day was b ought to thoir attention.

Tho Omaha Equality club had Its closing
meeting of tho summer Tuesday night In
tho banquet room of tho Paxton hotel. Tho
adjustment of considerable buslnesa and tho.
report of tho Nebraska state organizer on
tho Nntlonal American Womnn's Suffrngo
Association convention recently In Minne
apolis attracted a largo attendance. As a
committee to nrrango the program for the
coming year, which will probably consist of
tho course of study outlined by the national
associate u, Mrs, Tlldcn appointed Mm, C.
S. Damon, Miss Laura A. Gregg and Dr.
Eleanor Dalley.
As chairman of tho committee for the ro
vision of tho by-laws, Mrs. Damon reported
tho following recommendations, which wero
nccepted:

Mondays of each mouth, ft speclnl meeting

tho next meeting which will admit of tho
adoption of article 2.
Artlelo 3 Section 1. Program, constitu

point the standing committees.
Article 4 Five members shall constitute
a quorum.
Article b Vacancies In offices shall bo ap
pointed by tho executive eommlttco to servo
until tho nnnunl meetlns:.
Notlco was also given of tho nmondmcnt
at the next meeting of articles 3, 4, C and
6. These changes will bo slight and mndo
to ndmtt of a little more convenient work
ing system.
The resignation of thn president, Miss
Francis Nevlus, was accepted. Miss
Nevlus will be unable to attend nil of tho
mootings nnd resigned that tho office might
bo filled by some ono who could be present
to attend to nil of Its duties. Owing to
recent orders from tho national eommlttco
to tako up extensive field work, Miss Gregg
resigned her position as recording secre
tary, as sho will be out of tho city much
of the time during the fall and winter.
Miss Gregg's report of the national con

prominent suffragists nnd expressions from
members of tho convention, who hope that
In this Hddress Miss Anthony and the cause
that she rerrcsents may be bettor under

opinions upon tho convention. Tho rec
ommendation of Miss Koto Gordon of Now
Orleans for the ofllco nf corresponding sec
retary, by Mrs. Catt, was not nn evidence
of the preference of tho new and younger
president, but rather tho embracing of
an opportunity to combine ability nnd ad
vantage, for Miss Gordon Is not only one
of tho best fitted women in tho organiza
tion for tho position, but Influential In tho
south, which Is ono of tho most hopeful
fields, and Mrs. Avery, having refused to
hold tho onico longer, Miss Gordon was
tho wisest choice. An extract was nlso
read from the address of Miss Galo Iuigh
lands upou tho regulation of domestic
labor. Miss Gregg emphasized as the
unanimous action nf tho convention, tho
resolution condemning tho state regulation
of vlco In tho Philippines. Tho roport ot
"tho financial condition of tho national or
ganization was nnothor Interesting featuro,
showing a largo Increase over any provlous
year asldo from tho suffrago bazar fund
of $8,000.
A souvenir of this year's convention nnd
ono that canted general amusement and
Interest, wns a collection of autograph let
ters from the leading anti-suffragists of
tho country, declining to debate equal
sulfrago with Rev. Anna Shnw at tho con
vention. They offered a wide varloty of
excuses, but tho convention considered It
a significant coincidence that all should
bo unable to accept tho challenge. This
circumstance nccountod for tho tltlo of
Anna Shaw's address, "An Invisible Foe."
A paper on Mary Wollstclncroft, by
Miss Mary Fnlrbrnther, followed MIbs
Gregg's report. After which the asnclntlon
adjourned to meet on tho second Monday
of September nt a place to bo decided upon
