Anton Toy, O’Neill NIOBRARA HYDRO PLANT PROMOTERS VISIT O’NEILL - LAST SATURDAY EVENING The erection of a hydro-electric plant of 4,000 horsepower capacity in the Niobrara river north of O’Neill, is to begin within the next fe\V weeks, according to an announcement made Saturday night at a mass meeting in, this city by W. K. Newcomb, of Omaha and A. W. Person of Fairmont, officers of the- Northwestern Nebraska Power company. The plant will cost in excess of $450,000, according to Mr. Newcomb, who is chairman of the board of the company, and Mr. Per son, its chief engineer. The plant will be of a type similar to the Keokuk one on the Mississippi river, in that the power house will be in the center of the stream. This system of construction does away with trouble from suspended sand and silt in the stream, a grave trouble for hydro plants of the retard dam type, several of which already are in opera tion in the state. The power site, which was held up by the state for several years under previous adminis trations, was approved by the state on January 29. It also has been in i spec ted and approved by Dr. Condia ' of the state university, who, is said to have pronounced it one of the best not only along the Niobrara but in the entire state. It is located one quarter mile above the Whiting brdge on the federal highway between O’Neill and Spencer. The eompany proposes to bring electric current to the city limits of the cities and towns in the territory without cost to the municipalities, ar d to there deliver it to the switchboard at a rate of 2 cents per kilowatt. Con tracts also have been made with north Nebraska and South Dakota electric j distributing companies to take all of the surplus current generated. The proposition for the development of i the waterpower resources of the river was endorsed by the mass meeting, j which also recommored that the city council investigate the proposal to contract for the sale of current to the city. Acceptance of the proposal will mean that the city will have to erect| a distributing system or else purchase the one now owned and operated by the local lighting company. THE CITY ELECTION. Thefcity election past off quietly in O’Neill Tuesday, there being but one contest for the office of councilman and that was in the third ward where L. G.

About fifteen members are practicing regularly each Monday evening in Dr. Lubker’s office for the present, but larger quarters will be obtained later. A boys band is also being organized by Dr. Lubker. The first meeting of the new organization will be held Friday evening at the office of the Dr. at which time it will be ascer tained how many and who will take part in the new venture. There are a number of young lads in O’Neill who would make good musicians and they should be encouraged to take a place in the band. When the boys are able to handle the heavier music the two bands will be merged. O’Neill needs a band and the efforts of Dr. Lubker to reorganize the band and furnish some music, are com mendable.
