Power Canal to Be Carried to
Completion by New Company.
WILL COST FIVE MILLIONS.
Omaha Electric Light Company and
Kountze Brothers Will Join In Proj.
ect Twenty-five Thousand Kilowats
to Be Developed.
Omaha, July 22. The long talked of
Platte river power canal, which is to
furnish Omaha with cheap power, con
troverted Into electric energy, is now
to be built.
It is to be built by development of
what Is known as the Fremont water
rights, with principal installation near
Fremont, instead of what Is known as
the Columbus power canal proji t.
It is to be built by a combination
of capitalists, representing a junction
of forces of the Kountze Bi others"
syndicate and the General Electric
and local capitalists who own the
Omaha Electric Light and Power
company, through whose distributing
plant the output of the power canal
will be distributed.
From the sources from which the in
formation comes assurance is given
that work will be begun this year, as
soon as plans can be perfected and
contract let, and that the whole proj
ect will be completed and ready for
business in about two years.
Present plans contemplate the con
struction of the canal and erection of
an electrical plant with a capacity for
25,000 kilowats of electrical power.
The amount of money required to car
ry out the scheme is estimated to be
about $5,000,000. A gigantic corpora
tion is already being formed which
will command the necessary capital,
and also take over by conversion the
ownership of the present Omaha light
ing plant
It la expected too that all the other
local corporations using large oower
will be brought In as patrons.

The Junior Chautauqua
The boys' and girls' part in this Chautau
qua, you haven't heard much about. It is the
Junior Chautauqua. It is to be in charge of
Helen Bradford Paulsen, of West Virginia,
the world's greatest exponent of the Chautau
qua playground.
Mrs. Paulsen has seventeen young women
assistants of special training. One of these
will be here the entire Chautauqua week to
look after the boys' and girls' interests.
The work will be organized the opening
day the play, that is.
The boys and girls who hold Chautauqua
season tickets will be admitted to this Junior
Chautauqua. There is no age limit. The lit
tle folks under six whose parents (both, or
either one of them) hold season tickets will
be taken into the kindernook company. Some
thing special is planned for them.
"Why take them into a big tent that is filled
with grown folks to hear a grown-ups' Chau
tauqua program ? As absurd as to dress them
in grown-ups' clothes," Mrs. Paulsen says.
She puts them in a shady place and lets
them have their own amusement their own
music and their own Chautauqua.
She would have the boys and girls attend
only such numbers of the big program as she
knows wouW interest and profit them.
She puts them, instead, out on wide open
playground where they can romp and play.
She gives them games; tells them torses;
reaches them a play that will amuse and feasa
nt them.
That is SYSTEM and it is SENSE In beys'
and girls' directed play.
And that is the whole Chautauqua Mam
the right kind of living the right kin1 er ea
aociation the instilling of the right tmd mi
ideals.
