The slate board of ommlmiI ion flias rendered I heir deeisiitiw iii the eontlieling elainis on the nart of syndicates for use of the Loup and l'lalte river waters for in dustrial development purposes. Evidently the board, in its de cisions, tried to make it possible for all claimants lo go ahead and do business. They permit the original Uabeork tilings covering the taking of the water from the Loup river at Genoa and dropping it back into the stream near the point where that river moves into the Platte. They gave to the syndicate represented by Lincoln Traction stockholders, and the Moore interests of Michigan, the right, under their application, to take the waters from tho mouth of the Loup river and uso it. re quiring its return to the Platte at a point above tho in-take of tho Fremont proposition, which is in the hands of Fremont parties and the Kountzo interests of New York City, says the Lincoln Trade Re view. As to the merits of the different contending interests seeking the use of the Loup and Plallewiver. waters, and as they are effected by the decision, the question is a too intricate one in legal and en gineering lore for newspaper dis cussion, but as piarlically all parties seem to feel Ihat the de cision is largely I heir way, it. is not improbable that all Ihree in terests may proceed with their de velopment. The Babcock-Doberty interests, the tlrst on Ihe river, are working at present; the Fre-iiioiit-Kounte proposition, it has been given oul, is entirely financed ready for development work next year. President Sharp of I he Lin coln Traction company has slated that Ihe decision was a victory for their company and so Ihat be ing Ihe case, there seems to be no reason why it, on its pari, cannot go ahead and finance their pro posed power canal and be into the game next year. It is going to mean more to pastern Nebraska if these develop ments, one or all of them, ma terialize I ban any improvement that this stale has made in years; the handicap to Nebraska in de veloping manufacturing business and interurban Irallle has been because of the high cost of power. If these water projects shall give this stall' prices that will brinir power down to its cost lo con sumers in Wisconsin and Illinois, or even in Iowa, there will 1 :m impetus given lo stale develop ment along these lines for which weal have been uahenllv wiiitinir THE MOORE GREEN HOUSE The Plaltsnioulh grenhoiise, which was under Ihe management of L. A. Moore for years, has iusl been taken charge of by Messrs. R. K. Andrews and T. L. Mc Donald, who will operate it. in Ihe lulure. Doth of these genllenien- are experienced florists and will give the people of Plaltsnioulh an up-to-date place where Ihey can secure a supply of cut Mowers for any occasion that may come up. The neV firm will make a special cflort to serve the Christinas trade and will have some of Ihe finest cut flowers Ihat have been in this cily for years. Mr. McDonald, the junior member of the firm, has had a life-long experience in the florist business, and prior to com ing to this city was connected with the large Wilcox greenhouse in Council 1 Huffs, which is one of the largest in (be west.
