HICHARDS HOPEFUL FOR CANAL
He- TMaks Pewer Projeet Will Be

FREMONT. Neb., Dec. 17. 6peclaL) L.
D. Richards haa arrived home from New
Tork. Mr. Richards expresses himself as
being conservatively hopeful for the pro
posed power cansl. He thinks the whola
situation encouraging, though the construc
tion of the canal la not yet assured.
"A contract haa been entered Into on be
half of Fremont, by which the John K.
Kelly company of New Tork la given au
thority to dispose of one-half the Issue of
bonds for the canal enterprise," eald Mr.
Richards. "The project contemplates the
Issuance of bonds to the extent of the full
capitalisation of something over $3.i,OiO.
The question now la to provide for the
other half.
The board of engineers waa In see si on
for two weeka at New Tork. A. W. Jack-
son. the Columbia member, at first Insisted
on a delay so as to give time for procuring
additional data on the Columbus develop
ment, but it was finally, agreed that all
fundamentals relating to the distribution
of land and water were already before tha
beard, and that tha case should be decided
on tha evidence furnished by the surveys
and reporta of tha engineers which were at
hand
"It la only fair to Mr. Babcock of Co
lumbus to state that ho made a strong and
manly fight for hla people. The natural
features of tha Fremont canal route, with
tha showing roads by the engineers, are
what won tha case for us. In the begin
ning the reporta of the two surveys were
exchanged and mutually examined. Then
came the, comparisons made by tha canal
. outcome of which waa tha de-
cmuii III ittiiiuiii m AMTVm.
Messrs. Richards and Babcock made tha
trip from New Tork In each other's com
pany. On bla arrival here Mr. Rlcharda
waa met at the ststlon by the directors of
tha Commercial club, who offered congrat
ulations on Fremonfa success. -
According to tha agreement between Fre
mont and Columbus, entered Into when the
Joint negotiations started, the latter town
will be reimbursed in the sura of $8,000 by
the canal company, provided the, project Is
carried out. Columbus will also have an
option on fKO.OOo" of the capital stock. All
tha rights and prlvllegea of the Columbus
projectors will be transferred to Fremont.'

LINCOLN. Dec 17. (Special Telegram.)
Former Adjutant General Colby haa turned
ever to Governor Mickey H.482. of which
CO) Is to cover any shortage that may he
found. The remainder represents the war
rant cashed by General Colby to pay for
blankets taken from the adjutant's office
and used at the penitentiary.
General Colby came up from Beatrice
last night and at once drove to the office
of General Culver, whom he had arranged,
by telephone, to meet. Governor Mickey
was then sent for, and after a short con
ference, the money waa paid over to him.
One-half of !t was In raah and the re
mainder a check on a Beatrice bank. No
receipt was given until this morning, when
General Culby cashed tlte check and
turned over the entire amount In cash.
The money has been deposited In the
First National bank, subject to the order
of the governor. It will remain there
until Governor Mickey has communicated
with the War department to see whether
the money belongs to the government or
the state.
General Colby told Governor Mickey that
he had held the money, waiting to see
to whom It should be paid. He acknowl
edged to the governor, however, so the
latter eald, that he had not mentioned the
fact that he had the blanket money when
he .went out of office.
It Is probable that Governor Mickey
will at once start an expert checking up
the books of the former adjutant, as It Is
the latter's wish that this be dons as
soon as possible.

Trading
Did you see those ressons the Retail Grocer's Association gave Why
GREEN TRADING STAMPS are not good for the peopleT My! but they were
corkers!
VERT CONVINCING. WEREN'T THEY?
They said NOTHING for the sublime reason that THET HAD NOTHING
It) 8AT. We gave seven reasons the day before, why GREEN TRADING
6TAMP8 ARE GOOD for the people, and It wouldn't cost us any great effort
to give seven more with another seven on too!
GREEN TRADING STAMPS ARE A PRONOUNCED BENEFIT FROM
EVERY VIEW POINT THE CONSUMER CARES TO TAKE. This question
the Retail Oroeera' Association dare not meet, nor can they OFFER ONE
WORD OF DENIAL, either In the newspaper or among themselves that
GREEN TRADING STAMPS ARK GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE.
NOW, we do not wish to be acrimonious. It Isn't our style, but we want
to point out this little fact-THE BL'BINKSS MEN'S ASSOCIATION of this
city was very strong In denouncing the boycott last spring when the labor
troubles were on In this city, ana "HOME OF THOSE SAME MEN. who very
loudly 'declared against the boycott, and took erery opportunity, to enforce as a
cardinal principle of a man's perfect right to conduct, his own bustnees in his
own way; SOME OF THESE SAME MEN, MIND YOU, are - giving their
time OPENLY AND AVOWEDLY to the BOYCOTT AUAINbT ill. Ba,.
NETT COMPANY a olng all they can DIKE.' J LY AND INDIKtXTLY to ahut
Down oik bol'kce of slpvly; to xmpel vs to break olh
CONTRACTS, AND THROW OUR OBLIGATIONS TO OUR CUSTOMKRa To
THE WINDS. It a a sorry spectacle, and we arc ashamed for it.
Meantime our position In the Trading Stamp war Is unassailable. Ths
opposing forces cannot make even so much aa a little breach In our position.
They haven't a leg to stand on In this fight, because the tight IS X)R THE
CONTINUANCE OF SOMETHING THAT IS A PRONOUNCED BENE KIT
TO THiS PEOPLE THE LITTLE OREEN STICKER IN THE LIT I LK
GREEN BOOK.
WE ARE OMAHA PEOPLE. WE 8TAND UP FOR OMAHA, FIRST, LAMf
AND ALL THE TIME, AND WE HAVE NO Dl FFlCCLi'l NOH i..L
WE EXPERIENCE ANY DIFFICULTY IN GETTING ALL THE GOODS Wfc
WANT FROM OMAHA JOBBERS. WE HAVE' TEAMS AND CAN HIRE
MORE. AND WE HAVE THK MONEY TOO. OUR WORD IS GOOD.

PREMIUM. WORTH FROM SS.OO TO t" 00 ON A HOOK OF GREEN TRAD-
