THE BEATRICE
The largest creamery plant in the
world s that of the Beatrice Creamery
Co., located at Lincoln, Nebraska. It
occupies a handsome new building that
-was completed less than a year ago,
and its business is such as to make
Lincoln the center of an immense tribu
tary territory. It has a capacity of
12,000 pounds of butter a year.
The main building of this immense
plant has 200 feet frontage on L street
and is 142 feet deep, having seven
floors in its highest part. Besides this
there is a power house 100 feet by 102
feet, with a monster smoke stack built
of tile, concrete and steel and reaching
165 feet in height.
The plant throughout is equipped
with the latest improved machinery of
every description, much of it being
especially designed and built for this
greatest of all creameries.
The apparatus for pasteurizing and
sterilizing is unsurpassed anywhere on
earth. The matter of sanitation is so
zealously guarded that the churn room
walls are tiled with Tiffany enameled
brick, the whitest, cleanest, most sani
tary building material made. This
makes "Assurance doubly sure" that
not one particle of "guilty" dirt can
escape without detection. This churn
room would be the envy of "Spotless
Town."
The refrigerating machinery consists
of three iee machines having a com
bined capacity of 440 tons per day.
The space devoted to cold storage
contains over oue million cubic feet.
more than enough for 600 carloads
enough cars to make a solid train over
six miles long.
The temperature maintained in these
cold storage rooms is from 10 degrees
below aero up, according to the class
of goods stored therein. In these rooms
the air is almost as frigid as the frozen
north.

To guard against accidents the ma
chinery throughout the plant is in du
plicate. Should a machine break down
there is another ready to take its place
immediately, for twenty-four hours in
every day, year after year, the monster
ice machines must run to maintain this
eternal winter.
Paradoxical as it may seem it takes
an enormous amount of heat to make
this everlasting cold. The power hoiv.e
is equipped with boilers developing

1050 horsepower, fed with coal automa

Stokers," and the coal they burn in
one month would run a cook stove for a
thousand years.
So you see in this one great plant
you can go from the torrid to the frigid
zone.

EVERYTHING FOR THE HOME
WITHOUT FUSS OB FEATHERS.
For years there has been talk of this
or that great power canal project in
Nebraska. Thirty years ago Uncle
David Patterson of Kearney dreamed
a dream of power canals, and he lived
to see it realized. For years the Kear
ney canal furnished power for myriad
wheels. At one time the power gen
erated by this canal turned the spin
dles of an enormous eotton mill, light
ed the city, operated a street railway,
furnished the power for a big flouring
mill, all the power for several big print-

small uidnstricJ plants. The trouble
with the Kearney canal was that i
was built too tasn. It was far ahet3
of the times. Kearney was over
boomed, ar:d a? a result industry lr.ii
giushcd. the canal was all but ahai.

one by one the larger industries left.
But the canal is still there, undoubted
proof that canal power is possible in
Nebraska, that there is enough water
power available to turn a hundred
times more industrial wheels than are
now turning in Nebraska. It took
Kearney many a long year to recover
from the injury wrought by the boom
ers, but recover she did, and Kearney
is today one of Nebraska's most pros
perous cities. Sooner or later that
power canal will be brought into oper
ation again, and in good time Uncle
PARK, LINCOLN
David Patterson's dream will be a
perpetual reality.
But while thousands have been talk
ing of a power canal project here or
there, few know that such a project is
well under way. It is already financed
tae surveys have been made, prelim
inary work has begun, and next spring
l 'ft Cpiiiii Oak taffetaa cat $14J
an army of men will be at work upon
it. It will tap the Loop river above
Columbus, follow down the bla2s to
the southeast and waste into the Platte
at or near Fremont. This is only m
general description of the projeet. But
it will furnish 50,000 horsepower. Tie
central plant will not be far from Fre
mont, and from there it will be d
tributed by cable to Omaha, Lincoln
South Omaha and other smaller cities
What this project means to Nebras
ka's industrial future is almost be
yond human comprehension. It will
give manufacturing a wonderful im
petus, put thousands of wage earners
to work, and millions to the commerce
of the state and cause thousands of
new homes to be erected- It will en
large the home market for the prod
uce of Nebraska farms and gardens,
thus adding to the prosperity of the
farmers.
Little has been said by the promot
ers of this project. They are not men
to advertise their intentions, for they
had no need to ask the general public
iui uonuses or stock subseriptuxu.
They are able to command all the cap
ital they want when they finally decide
that any projeet is feasible. Inside cf
the next three years Nebraska, win
have a water power than will closely
rival Niagara. There are those who
will say that "Will ilanpm's Weekly is
dreaming but just wait and see this
"dream" eome true.
