Discussing the enormous ta&k of
bringing electricity to oa;'h of the
j t;.r.72,2b'i farms ot the United States.,
Arthur Williams, vice president of

; 'It may be true, at least to a cer-,
i ir. in extent, that as industry concen
1 ! rat around abundant power,
sources, the tendency in farming may;
be in the same direction. Any fur-j
there, just as more widely distributed
' power tends to decentralize industry
.making it possible to locate the fac

'advantageous for it and its workers
'rather than to have its location de

result of the visitation of the unwel

The robbery was not discovered tin-j

that there had been a great deal of
stock in the garago removed by the
night raiders.
Thi'5 is the first robbery to be re

The Burlington has announced
several changes in members of their
staff on the western lines. C. J. Con
nett, who has proven one of the best
men that the Omaha division has
had as superintendent, is being sent
to the Ottumwa division at a very
pleasing advance in importance of the
position and succcesing O. C. Hibbs.
As the successor of Mr. Connett,
the Burlington announces the ap
pointment of L. E. Caldwell, well
known in I'lattsmouth and other
points on the division, where he ha
been trainmaster for some time past.
The change in officials goes into
effect April 1st according to the an
nouncement made from the Omaha
offices of the company.
The many friends in this city will
regret to see Mr. Connett leave the
Omaha division as he has been one of
the most active of the rail road lead
ers in this part of the west and be
ing personally of a very genial dis
position has made many warm friend3
over the division.
