Not only Denver, but Omahans will
profit. The tunnel will plare Denver
on a main line of railroads. It will
open a path for the lower Mississippi
valley to tha Pacific coast that can
not be duplicated.

Denver must have an eastern mar
ket. Many of the products of the
great valley north and west of Den
ver must come east and O/naha Is the
logical point for distribution.
Omaha has a great smelter, end
there are precious metals to be mar
keted from these deposits.
Omaha needs coal and the deposits
of northwestern Colorado contain
enough Coal to supply the entire
country for 1,500 years.
Omaha Is a cattle and grain market
of note; this newly-opened empire
will furnish rattle snd grain to help
feed the world.

I>av!d n. Moffat was born In New

then to Omaha as a young man. In
Omaha he was cashier of William F.
Allen's bank and was greatly Inter
ested In real estate and speculated
wildly In the boom days, from 1S65
to 1860.
With the crash of IS SO he saw hla
wealth swept away.
From Omaha, Moffat went to Den

stationery business. lie later became
cashier of ths First Nations! bank

Tho Moffat tunnel Is the outgrowth
of a flghttt covering ft period of
years, starling after David Moffat
had spent his fortune In an effort
to link Denver and Salt Lake City
by a direct lino. The road was built
as far as Bteanrhoat Springs snd
halted for lack of capital.
Hardships Discouraging.
’ The road had been built over the
Hollins pass, 12,000 feet above sea
level. The hardships In constructing
the road over the mountains and the
money necessary to combat the forces
of nature, proved an almost Insur
mountable handicap.
It was then that the dream of the
tunnel began. It seemed to be the
only way In which to mak* the road
practical. Hut New York had closed
Its financial doors to Moffat and his
associates and the money could not
be wised.
After Moffnt's death !n 1911. the
railroad suffered for the hand <>f Its

of a. receiver.

a bill be put through the legislature
authorizing construction of the tun

Both of these companies had more

Advantages Are
Brought to Light !
n o
in Civic Campaign
Low Power Hates Here En
courage Establishment of In
dustrial Conrerns; Save
Others Money.
The “Know Omaha’’ campaign
brought to light many advantages of
this city. Many Omahans, for the
first time, realize that within the
community there are many Industries
of national renown.
One of the most forceful advertise- (
ments tilling of the advantages "f1
Omaha Industries was jiubllshed by ;
the Nebraska Power company and \
has brought forth general comment
not only In Omaha but in many other
cities of the country.
It proved conclusively ths conten
tions made from time to time by the
Chamber of Commerce and the Oma
ha Real Estate board that "Omaha
Is a great place In which to live,
because of the low electrlo light and
power rate* here.
The advertisement which showed
a Jury ecens asked the publlo to com
pare the Omaha electric light rate
with that of I,os Angelee. which the
Californians claimed In press dis
patches was the loweet In America.
The figures printed in the advertise
ment show-ed conclusively that Oma
ha's rate* were lower than the Los
Angeles light rates, therefore, “tell
ing the world" that the electric light
rates of Omaha *ire practically the
lowest in America, which means the
world.”
Ixtw Power Rates.
The Chamber of Commerce In Its
work to obtain Industries for Omaha
uses as one of Its arguments the low
power rates here, l^arge power users
are advantageously situated here
from a rate viewpoint. A recently
completed tabulation shows that the
tost of electric energy supplied to 30
wholesale power users In Omaha is
lower than that of 20 of the big in
dustrial cities of America. The aver
age of the 20 cities is about 37 per
cent higher In cost than in Omaha.
One of Omaha's largest packing
companies would have to pay $40,000
a year more for electicity in New
York than it pays in Omaha. It
would pay 73 per cent more in Den
ver; 75 per cent more In St. Joseph
and 26 per cent more in St. Louis.
In conjunction with this. It Is in
teresting to note that one of the flour
mills here in Omaha, having the larg
est output In the state, spends ap
proximately $2,500 a month for elec
tric energy. If this company was
operating in Minneapolis, a city in
which some of the largest flour mills
In the country are located, it would
have to pay approximately $4,800,
or nearly double the Omaha cost for
thn same service. In Milw aukee, the
monthly bill would be about $1,600.
In Atlanta. Oa., it would be 53 per
rent higher; In St. I>ouis It would be
63 per cent higher, and In St. Joseph
It would- he 61 per cent higher.
Cheaper Ijght, Too.
Grain elevators located in Omaha
have a distinct advantage over grain
elevators In many other cltlea. A
grain elevator In Omaha, if It was lo
cated In Milwaukee, would have to
pay S3 per cent more for electric
light and power than It does here.
SS per cent more in Ft. Ixiuls; 103
per cent more in Minneapolis; (3
Iter cent more in St. Joseph, and
3!> per cent more in Atlanta, Ga.
The packing plants here, because
of the extremely low power rates for
wholesale users, are electrifying thair

The retailers small power rate*
available In Omaha range from S
to 5 1-2 cents a kilowatt hour. Very

rate than this.

users very low, but the commercial

more If It was located In Denver end
130 per cent more if It was located In
Detroit. The game department store
If It wag located In Atlanta, Ga..
would have to pay 90 per cent more
than It la now paying In Omaha.
Tiecent figures published by the
National Electric Eight association
show that Omaha's rates to homes
here are the lowest of 133 metropoli
tan cities In the ETnited States. For
merly the rate was lowest In only
114 cities, but because rates were In
creased In several communities, the
number of clt.es with higher rates
have grown in number.
The rate to Omaha homes is 31-7
cents a kilowatt hour. Following
