When Koiinte Urns, of New York applied for a stale charter to tap the l'lalte river at Fre mont ami lead it by canal to Oma ha at an approximate oust of imo.null, (hey demonstrated their failb in a project which will ulti mately be the means of bringing this vast western country into her ow n. Today we are privileged for the Hist lime to give to Ihe public the particulars of the organization of a company with an authorized capital stock of .oo.nno under llm name of the l'lalte Klectric Light, and Power company. W. H. Letler of Springfield, Neb., is president; James Slander, Louisville, secretary, and Peter C. Slander, Louisville, treasurer. The object of the new corporation, as staled in their printed matter, now being printed in this otlice, is the manufacture and sale of light and power. The Courier reporter called on Mr. P. C. Slander, treasurer of the new company, this morning and learned from him the pro posed location of Ihe plant. Mr. Slander was very enthusiastic over Ihe possibilities of the new company. At a point between Louisville ami South Demi, where Ihe bluffs are abrupt on either side ami the bed of (be river is formed of solid limestone. This extends from bank to bank. Near the center of the river is a ual ural channel of H.IMUI feel in width, of considerable depth at low water season. Here they propose lo put in the water wheels, about twenty in number, although they estimate II. al six wheels will give Hiem all the power necessary. A bridge will be Imill across the river at Ibis mini, 1mm which Hie ap paratus w ill be operated. . The water whi rls are a new patent by Ihe presidi-nl of the company ami are so coiisi i iieled thai Ihcv will raise ami fall wit 1 1 the river. One fool of water will operate Ihe wheels al full capacity, nl- llioiigh al this point the only fine in the l'lalte river Ihe depth of lb" water never reaches less than three feet. The fall of the river, as determined by the Burlington Itailroad company, is seven feet to the mile. The llow is from six lo seven miles pei' hour, which is sllllicienl to generate all the power necessary to revolutionize the cost of fuel for iiiamifaelur ing purposes throughout eastern Nebraska. Mr. Stamb-r is of the belief Dial Willi an expenditure of say 20, om, better results can I btain- ed than will be possible for Kniintze Itros. of New York to give wilh Iheir canal, which they esti mate will cost 1.000.(1(11). The establishment of this gigantic power plant in the sub urbs of Louisville will mean more In (his city than I lie average citizen will at tirsl imagine. Let's all bnos for the success of the Platte Fleet rie Light and Power company. Louisville Courier. Fountains for Chickens. C. C. Wescott and Ilex. W. L. Austin, the boss chicken fanciers of this locality, have just received two new Pagel's sanitary foun tains for use in their pens.

The fountain is double lined and is considered one of Ihe best on the market today. AND MRS. ALBERT WHEELER'S ORANGES GROWN IN OUR 01 COUNTY OF CASS Mrs. (ieorgia Creamer presented the editor of the Journal with an orange plucked from a tree planted seventeen years ago on their home place, near Murray. This tree has been bearing fruit for several years, and this year in a greater quant'ty than ever be fore. Seventeen years ago Mrs. Creamer planted a small twig, you might say, and today she can boast of quite an orange tree. The specimen she brought to Ibis otlice has the color of those sweet, delicious oranges that come from Florida. We haven't lasted il yel, but are keeping il to show our friends that Nebraska climate is adapted even to the growing of oranges, as well as all kinds of other fruit. Accept our thanks, Mrs. Creamer.
