THE CANAL- PROJECT.
,-rl
It is sow safe to state that thaCalum-
boa Power OaaalwiU be a reality if the
raporta in Omaha and other papers of
national repute can be relied upon to
any degree. Last Thursday's World
Herald contained n long article ia which
it stated that the Columbus project had
been oaancad for $L500.00a Thiaiafor-
tion comes from the committee of the
Omaha Realty Exchange, which met the
day previous to the article's appearaaoe.
The followiag is s part of the article aa
appeared in the Herald of June 20th.
"We have ninny reasons for thinking
that the promoten of the Colambue
water power have made iaaacial ai
raagemeate to secure tbe $4500,000 capi
tal neceasary to develop and transmit
41,000 twelve hour hone power to Omaha.
The three different expert reporta ex
amined by us, all agree x that at least
41,000 electrical horse-power oa a twelve
hour basis can be generated aad if this
amount were sold nt $30 per hone power,
on n twelve-hour basis, it will enable the
promoten to earn over 20 per cent per
annum oa the total cost of the develop
ment, and such developments csn be
duplicated at Schuyler, Fremont nnd
Omnha, furnishfng 150,000 available
horse-power.
We do aot believe that the develop
ment of n water power, three and n half
miles northwest of Columbus would
thbtylcreate a rival manufacturing city at
Columbus. .While suoh a power would
be more or lew benefeial to Colambue,
Schuyler and Fremont, yet the, great
benefit of each a development must come
to Omaha, when the market is to bs had
for the power nnd where other necessary
manufacturing, advantages are preseat,
such as accessibility to raw material and
distribution of the finished products by
reason of the ssany railway facilities of
this city, and it is well known that all
large manufacturing plants are more
successful if located nesr huge cities to
eaable them to have secern to an abund
ance of cheap labor.
In ease outside capital should not
undertake the development of the Co
lumbus, Fremont or Seymour Park
water power schemes, we would recom
mend that the city of Omaha vote bonda
to construct the most favorable of these
power enterprises, aa the city is fully
ssthorized to do, as per sections 140 aad
141 of the atj oharter.
Haatiags is iaterested in ihe Columbus
canal aa will be seen by the followiag
recent dispatch from that place to the
World-Herald:
The promoten of the interurban in
Hastings are jubilant over the rapid
progress beisg made for the building of
theOolumbua power phut. It ia the
iatentiou of the interurban people to
secure power from the Colambus plant
for their road and aa the building of tbe
latter is now assured they declare the
motive power problem m solved. Infor
mation has come to Haatiags that the
Columbus promoten are bow buying
land for a mammoth reservoir.1 They
have acquired an irrigatioa ditch some
twelve miks-loBg aad a site has been
selected for the power plant Water
will be taken from tke Loup nver. The'
project baa been planned on n large
scale. A tract of 3,400 acres will be used
for the reservoir, which will Lave an
80-foot cement wall for a considerable
way around. The survey for the reser
voir has beea sonde and it ia this bind
that promoten are now buying."
With the production of power in our
midst Columbus is destined to become to
a greater degree a maaufacturiag center
and while this power can be transmitted
to various other pointa throughout east
ern and central Nebraska, it is only
natural to presume that parties or cor
porations seeking new nnd undeveloped
territory for maaufacturing produeta
will get aa near tbe seat of power as
possible, though they utay not be bene
fited by it to any greater extent. At
nay rate Columbus power will be a go
aad then is nothing but a bright futun
before the people of this community.
