Wescott
Telephone Company Barred Out.
As predicted by the Journal last
week, the city councilor South Omaha
has barred out the riattsmouth Tele
phone company from entering their
town by insisting on conditions which
the local company will not comply
with. The council was willing to grant
a franchise but demanded a royalty of
8300 per year for the first two years,
500 per year for the next three years,
and for the next five years $750 per
year. The telephone company will
not agree to these terms, and the mat
ter will be submitted to a vote of the
people at the April election.
While the South Omaha council is
wholly , right in insisting on pay for
the use of streets by the telephone
company, it is grossly unfair in de
manding pay from one company and
allowing a competing company to oper
ate free. The Nebraska company feels
the keen opposition of the independent
company, and will spare no efforts to
keep them out of the South Omaha
field, and some interesting times may
be looked for when the matter is sub
mitted to a vote of the people.

Council Engages Counsel.
Mayor T. E. Tarmele and Council
men Ed. Fitzgerald; T. M. Patterson,
August Bach, John Lutz, and City
Attorney A. J. Beeson went up to
Omaha last .Saturday and held a con
ference with the attorneys for the
bondholders of the gas and electric
light company. Their visit was fruit
less in regard to effecting a settlement,
the bond-holders' attorney offering
the city a jug-handled proposition to
the effect that the city was to assume
the paymeut of the bonds and the
Interest rate on the same would be cut
from six to three per cent. In other
words, if the city will generously as
sume the indebtedness of the Platts
mouth Gas and Electric Light com
pany, amounting to 330,000, the holders
of the bonds will only charge the city
$900 per year, instead of $1800, for the
privilege of so doing.
The council desires to avoid a law
suit if possible. They do not want to
pay out several thousand dollars to
lawyers for defending a case in which
the city has no interest whatever, but
apparently do not know how to proceed
in the matter. They are afraid to en
trust the case to the city attorney
alone, and at the last meeting decided
to pay two additional lawyers a re
tainer of -200, which decision hassince
been rescinded for the reason that it
was feared another cipher would have
to be added to the retainer fee before
the city was through with the lawyers,
unpleasant memories of the high
school bonds, county-seat and water
company cases looming up as horrible
remindersof past litigation. Apparent
ly, neither the mayor nor council wants
to assume the responsibility of hiring
additional counsel to look after the
city's interest in the case, and each
seek to shift the responsibility on the
other.

The price of farm land in Cass county
is steadily advancing, with good pros
pects for a continued advance. At
present prices for good land range
from $40 to $75 per acre, according to
improvements thereon, and not much
land is for sale, while there are several
tenants for every piece of land that is
for rent. The good prices for all
farm products during the past few
years is the cause of the advance in
land prices, and farming lands is very
desirable property to own just now.

The North Platte Valley.
Northwest Nebraska offers some
wonderfully good opportunities to the
man or woman with a little money to
invest in irrigated land. Excellent
irrigated land can be had now for $12
to $1" an acre, but it is plain to those
watching the development of the north
Platte valley that this low price is
just about to fade away. The farmers
of this valley are now reaping an abun
dant harvest. Alfalfa, corn, wheat and
garden vegetables yield good profits.
There are also good openings in the
livestock business. If you are interest

Getting Ready for New Bridge.
A force of railroad civil engineers
arrived in tovn Monday morning from
Lincoln, and have since been at work
doing the preliminary work, getting
levels and running lines, for the new
railroad bridge which the B. & M.
will build over the Missouri river near
their present bridge. Just what kind
of a bridge will be built, whether it
will be an entirely new structure or
' an enlargement of the present one, Is
j not definitely known outside of rall
1 road oflicial circles, but it is quite pro-
able that an entire new double-track
bridge will le built, to lie in unison
with the double tracking of the entire
main line of the Burlington system.
Work on the new structure will le
begun as early as possible.
On the Iowa side of the river the
country in the vicinity of the bridge
lis thickly studded with surveyor's
stakes, preparatory to putting in side
tracks and switches for the purpose of
unloading material for the new
structure.
