announoetPthat they' chose the latter
place, the points of preference being in

Mr. Babcock and Mr. Biebards repre
senting the two enterprises, returned
home Wednesday from Hew York.
The selection of Fremont does not
mean that the plans are entirely finished.
The flnanrirg has yet to come, but it is
thought this will be a comparatively
Mr. Bicharde is quoted as saying to
press correspondents that "It is only
fair to Mr.Babeock to state that he made
a strong and manly fight for his people."
According to the agreement between
Frauaont and Columbus, entered into
whan the joint negotiations started,
Columbus will be reimbursed in the sum
of $8,000 by the Fremont canal company,
provided the project is carried out.
Columbus will also have a large block of
the stock, and no one who assisted in the
furtheraace of the development here will
be loser, provided the Fremont canal is
completed. The most encouragement to
be given to the Columbus people is that
at some future time when all the power
to be generated by the Fremont plant
will be in demand, they will then look to
the Columbus survey, which, under the
present agreement will be controlled by
the company. While the Fremont canal
can develop 90,000 horse power Colum
bus could give 40,000. So that at aome
future time a power may be developed
here.
Columbus has lost one of the great
opportunities that seldom comes to a
locality, to build up a great city. The
power canal project has for years been a
subject of interest to all those who knew
of the wonderful flow of the Loup river
waters. In the early days the settlers
noticed the uniformity of the flow, and
in later years the U.S. geological survey
showed that the Loup river was the most
uniform flowing stream ever measured
by their department, the lowest average
during the summer months carrying
2871 cubic feet per second.
Knowing the value of developing such
a power, and that this great middle west
country is hampered for lack of cheap
power to compete with other more
favored sections, Mr. Babcock decided to
undertake the enterprise and was greatly
enoouraged by Mr. Fritz Jaeggi of Switz
erland. Columbus people are acquainted with
many of the facts concerning the years
ef labor Mr. Babcock and Mr. Jaeggi
have spent in this great undertaking, and
it is due to them to say that they have
worked almost single handed from first
far last, the public here having hardly
realized the importance of developing a
power half as great as the power that
has made Niagara famous.
The canal to be constructed at Fre
mont will be aome twenty-seven miles in
length. This will entail an expenditure
of nearly $14200,000. The large reservoir
to be built at Elm creek will cost some
$600,000 and another reservoir to be con
structed on Otoe creek will mean a
disbursement of nearly $500,000. The
power house is estimated to cost about
$100,000. About $150,000 will be ex
pended on the hydraulic plant and $400,
000 on the electrical equipment. The
total coat of construction will be
$350,000.
One feature is interesting, that al
though the enterprise will bear the name
of Fremont, the canal will be several
miles to the nearest point from the city
and does not even touch Dodge county.

X. F. D. le. 3.
Coatiauad from last wesk.1
Ascending tbe high hfll of Shaad creek
valley aad a few moments drive we arrive
at the summit of what is known as Krum
landw hfll. To us the scene before us is
truly delightful, our anticipations of tbe
grand and beautiful are fuUy realized.
As we look over this grand Shell creek
valley it inspires our mind with emotions
too big for utteranoe. Hundreds of
acres of rich prairie as far as the eye can
reach, cultivated and improved, and in
the valley the grandest sight of aU espe
cially in summer, you can see tbe spark
ling waters of old SheU creek roll, on
whose banks are seen the blending colors
of the vast family of flowering shrubs
and blooming wild flowers. As we look
at this grand view before us we cannot
help but aay that man may boast of him
self, of his knowledge and his greatness,
and what ia he? A mere nothing, scarce
ly discernible on this grand panorama
of nature. We have often thought as we
have been on this hill, how beautiful is
nature the great earth, the blue heav
ens; whether we gaze upon the moun
tain's summit, tbe spray washed shore of
old ocean or our flower deoked prairie,
aU are beautiful and inspiring. Whether
we listen to tbe low breathings of the
gentle zephyrs, or the frightful detona
tions of the beUowing tempest, the glow
ing lightning's flash, or the soft and
transient light of the passing meteor, tbe
inimitable radiance of the many colored
rainbow. Yet ia all these we cannot help
feeling the highest degree of holy vener
ation. He whose soul is so luggish sa
not to be able to realize such an over
powering sense of the beautiful and sub
lime is an object of deep commiseration.
In this valley we now come to the
Shell Creek Boiler Mills, of which the
good natured Peter Sehmitt is proprie
tor, full of push and energy, honest and
jovial as the day is long, be is making a
successful miller.
Leaving the mill we have Jacob Bach
man who has the old Grosnicklaos farm.
On we go to Fred Seefeld's, who has just
completed an addition to his barn. Just
to the right at the foot of the hfll we
have bachelor Winealt who keeps in a
good humor.
Arriving on top of the table land we
come to the Red, White and Blue poul
try yards of Swartsley k Sobs. Mr.
Swarteley, sr., member of firm, ia proba
bly the oldest practical poultry man on
the route, having thirty-two years expe
rience in tne ouauiess. Jar. swartaiey
and fifteen fanners wfll enter into con
tract each to handle one special breed of
the beet birds of its kind. Thie company
wfll begin Jan. 1, 1904, aad the name of
it wfll be W.H. Swartaiey k Co. At the
poultry show ia Columbus, Swartaiey k
Sob won everythiag they want after.
Aa to finest, sixteen first prizes, and one
pea of Wyaadottes scoring tbe highest
of any pea ia the house exoepting C. O.
Moore's Black Bantams which are birds
of a state reputatioa. Out of one breed
of thirty-five yearling birds, the name
we did aot learn, only four scored under
90 points. Any one contemplating the
raising of poultry would do well to send
for their circular. They guarantee sat
isfaction, W. H. Swartaiey k Son say
they wfll spare no pains, time or money
aatil Platte county will be one of the
baaaer fancy chicken raising points west
of the Mississippi river.
Somewhat ahead of schedule time we
atop at the German academy. Here we
find Prof. E. H. Karaatz deuMoatrating
kaowledge to youthful minds. The
Prof, informs as that ha wfll leave Bis
markoe the 24th of December to spend
Christmas vacatioa at home in Chicago.
Whfle there he wfll be united in marriage
