THE RIVER FRONT.
Reception to Senator Van-
Wyck by the Board of
T/ade.
At Which the Chances of an
Appropriation are Talked
* * O ver.
The meeting in the board of trade
rooms in thla city , which waa called
by President Boyd , last evening , to
both meet ard congratulate Senator-
elect VanWyck and to dlscnts the
beat measures for protecting the river
front of Omaha , was largely attended.
The senator c me in nt"eight o'clock
and was most cordially greeted. After
a few minutes conversation , the meet
ing was called to order by the vice
president of the board of trade , who
announced that President Boyd was
nnable to bo present. He stated the
object ot the meeting and invited
Senator VanWyek to take a'seatjoajthe
platform. When the senator accepted
the invitation he was greeted with a
round of applause.
The chairman , after a few further
remarks , called upon Mr. Webster to
define the object of the meeting more
fully and give the meeting what ideas
he held upon the subject. That gentleman -
tleman responded by saying that he
was wholly uninformed aa to the
amount appropriated by congress for
further work on the river , but under
stood that it was about § 40,000. The
secretary of the board probably knew
all of the facts.
Secretary Allen stated that he had
no detailed information. The meet
ing was called at the suggestion of the
ciiizans to make the acqnantanco of
the senator andtclk _ over the matter
which was of so much interest to all
a future protection to property on
thia side of the river.
Olty Engineer Andrew Eosewater ,
was called for by Mr. Broatch , and
said that he had no further Informa
tion than that possessed "by many
others. The
o proposed building of a
river front was under the authority of
the government and it waa improbable
that the
government would allow any
one to dictate what should be done.
0tl was suggested to build a dyke. If
that were done it would bo necessary
for It to connect the U. P. line with
the ! Saratoga Blnfls. A high bank
there and properly rip-rapped would
probably do all that could bo expect
ed. It could not be expected thereby
to < control the channel bnt a perma
nent river front could ba built from
this , which would allow an ontlev for
the city sewers.
tlfi Mr. Horbach said that river front
from the water works to Boyd's pack
ing house would Involve an outlay of
nearly § 200,000. It was not probable
that congress would make an appropri
ation ' for the city , but one donbtleas
could be obtained to Improve the river
channel.
cltl Certain improvements on
the other side now talked of would
doubtless ! throw all of the water
ont of Spoon Like and involve great
damage to Omaha , if no river iront
be provided for and built An appro
priation ' by congress was the desired
thing , and tbo application should ba
made early , as it la understood that
the people of Council Bluffs would
endeavor to obtain one also. By hav
ing the requests for appropriation in
together , , an agreement could doubt
less bo arrived at with the citizens on
iho other side.
Mr. Burnham said that it was de
sirable , if not absolutely necessary ,
that something be done to save the
property on the river bottoms. Tflls
the verdict of all ] business men and
citizens. In common with all indus I
tries there situated , the Union Pacific S
jqmpany Is convinced that it must si
protect itself or remove from that Ic- sim
ation. A removal need not be im at
mediate , but it would come , and how il
would effect the city he did not foal ofat
authorized to say. Thla matter of at
vetflow and damage from the water cl
las been a subject of serious discus- clre
ilon and much correspondence with re
sastern officials of the company , The it
ompany ! has expanded about § 100OCO m
iltherto in protecting its propertyand mbe
ras willing to expand more if a guar- bn
mtee of safety could be obtained. beet
wo things were to be considered ot
he washing of the channel and the otmi
ivetflow. ! If the washing of the oh
ihannel can be prevented by a rip-rap fn
terhaps an overflow can be prevented CO
a dyke. As far as money ia con- cl
eraeda100,000 will not be nearly rii
noughj and what the government thha
rould give would only be an addition ha
that raieed by the city andproperty gf
wners. , gfUs
Mr. I Stephen Her said that the dis- on
illery company had juat got over a en
retty bad scare. The government tal :
urely should take some interest in coi
matter as it , had more at stake tlo
ban the company did. The yearly thief
on their whisky was abont a mil- of
on and a half dollars. The trouble tie
om : water below the bridge could be inj
jmodied very easily. There were aar
or three ways to accomplish this , tan
Union Pacific had done moat of a v
work hitherto and it had been a clu
reat help to all the river industries , wit
( current does not sttiko in belew the
bridge , and a bank of earth would for
at ! that point If the channel is
sepened it will take away the sand me
both above and below the city , the
hlch cauEO much of the rise at thla on
lnt. Much more business conld be 1
ne by river if a front were ba It and coc
earners could land. , _ and
Mr. : Gray said the work would have nar
be done under the supervision of om
ajor Sntor , who is government en- mei
neer over all thio territory and noth- 2
conld ba done without his approv- ed
Before going very far it would be edmei

latter would doubtless be willing as i rte
confer < at any time with the citizens to
Omaha as to the best methods ot toWh '
otection. The present channel moi
better for steamers .than it had it
tretofore been , as it was gov
uly at right angles with the bridge. itThe
shore now was in shape to be pro- The
cted and held permanently. The in a
nion Pacific company's protection strc
in In 1877 was a good one. The had

reply to questions by Col. Chase , the
Davis said that § 30.000 had been sir :
pended In 1878 , aud § 50,000 in proi
79. ! The last appropriation of The
iO.OOO had not been used. Of the mee
nount expended only 835,000 had poii
put on thia aide , bnt this was diti
irtlaUy owing to the fset that every con
in the Miaaonri was governed by mat
two bends above , and oftentimes mata
xther , so that to make
any work ef- grei
ictive it must always be commenced greiJ
nsider uy * above. To maintain the tha
ropoaed work it might be necessary of : i
begin np aa far as Florence. The of
scent actionof theriver indicated that ere
channel might easily be cut through rlv <
peen Lake which would render all pro
of the work done at this point useless.
There IB no detailed plan by the gov
ernment engineers , but a general plan
to piotect these river Industries.
Col. Chase said that he had bsen
learning ] for a few years much abont
the ' rivet. Omaha hasn't had her
share i of the money expended. There
should be a swell defined systsm of
work. Small expenditures would not
be valuable. Some day Omaha will
be a great city and the steamboat will
rival railroading. This river is for a
great channel cf commerce ) and its
Improvement must be taken hold of
In a ( business way. A half million
dollars is necessary to make this work
geod. We are probably more Indebt
ed to the Union Pacific railroad com
pany than to the government for what
protection we have now. The plan
for future work must be well denned
and sanctioned by good engineers.
We look to the senator for help in thia
matter. We like the senator and are
going to make him [ like us before we
get through with hi-n.
Judge Hawes said that it had been
suggested that a committee ba ap
pointed to take such steps as might bs
necessary , confer with Senator Van
Wyck and with the secretary of war
In regard to this matter. It is said
that there should be a protection
from Sulphar Springs diagonally to
where the river bends and from there
to the packing house. In [ order to
protect the city against such floods as
wo have had It would require at least
$150,000 The city cannot stand this ;
the government can. This state pays
into the national treasury yearly
$2,000,000 , which is mnch more than j j
it draws out , and the United States !
can sfford to extend its aid. There
ought to bo a committee of gentlemen ,
interested In protecting the riverj
front , who could manage this matter.
Everyone here knows how affairs of
this kind are legislated through con
gress. Nebraska , with her single con
gressman , can hardly hope to uijtfain
a sufficiently large appropriatfro in
the house , bnt in the senate , when the
bill reaches ; there , both our senators
can obtain an amendment without
trouble , which will bring the appro
priation to its proper amount. Our
senators should be backed with a pe
tition to present on that occasion , and
a committee should be appointed to
get up such a petition and take what
other action they deem proper.
Senator Vau Wyck arose and was
greeted with applause. He said that
he need not express the pleasure it af
forded him to thus be able to meet so
many of hit friends and the citizens
of Omaha upon an occasion which
was of the importance of the present
one. The objact of this meeting con
cerned both the city , the state and
the country. Many of the questions
brought forward there had been an
swered heretofore by congress , in its
legislation regarding the channels of
great rivers. These rivers belonged
to and were controlled by the .general
government , and their waters conld
not even be spanned by a bridge with
out Its consent. A great deal of
money had been expended in digging
out channels of rivers which contained
but little water , and ( the government
would not hesitate to clear the chan
nel cf a great thoroughfare of com.
merce like the one which flowed past
this city.
Bnt not only has the attention of
thecongressof the United States been
turned toward the value of our river
PS a channel of commerce , but also has
the ! necessity of action in this matter
been emphslzsd by the recent calam
ity , disaster to people aud destruction
itK property. I need not say that I
frill render most cheerfully all the aid
I cau to the enterprises aud welfare of
this city as well as to the state , of
which this Is and is destined to be the
great metropolis , ( applause ) and I as
sure you I have very near to my
heart the welfare of your citizens , and
the safety of those great interests
which are situated on the river bottoms
toms , snbjectto the fury of the floods.
tcS apprehend , also , that neither Major
Sntor nor the secretary of war , nor
any member of congress or govern
ment official will heeitato to expend
any money which may be needed for
this ; purpose and'to hood the advice
tbose who reside in this locality
aud best know the necessities of your
city and the state.
No one , la congress or out , who has
read of these great disasters will hes
itate to give a reasonable amount of
money. The expenditure now should
based upon a plan broad enough to
build so that a sente of security may
felt by owners of property. An
ather thing is the matter of com S
merce. "Why may we not open a
Channel to the sea whereby all boats
Tom the northwest may have a free
ourse ? The government is now C
bearing all channels of its great Ti
rivers to provide for the vast stores
hat are pouring from the golden TiM
harvest of the west , and even the M
reat state of New York la making
SI
water courses free to give an
intlet. It is the duty of the gov-
irnment to open the channels and
ake advantage of the great river
ionrse hero provided. Public atten- m
ion at this time ia being drawn to at
his matter , both by the necessities
and the TVi (
commerce recent calami-
, and the government Is awaken-
to the fact that it will be necea-
ary to both protect the inhrbi- SBI
anta of this state , and to provide
water course to the sea. In con
tusion I need not say- that I am Jn
rlth you in all measures to procure nt
needed appropriation and provide
the protection of your city. ,
Judge Hawei moved the appoint-
lent-of : a committee and suggested I > ni
names of about twenty gentlemen | bl
that committee.
Mr. Broatch suggested that a smaller
Dtnmlttee would be more effective , an
at the same time said that the spI
amo3 of several gentlemen had been
raltted who should especially be tie
tembers of it.
Mr. E. Uosewater said that it seem-
to him that the object of the ele
teeting had been perverted. Ha un-
srstood that there was about § 50,030 I
the money appropriated by the I Re
avernment yet unexpended , and it Be
now the opportune time to obtain
money and devote it to the iu- thime
ireats of Omaha. It appeared that a me
rge percentage of the amount hith-
used had been expanded on the
her side of the river without any
siblo jmprovement. The appoint-
ent of o committee traa unnecessary

Mr. Rosewater'a remarks were the

Judge Hawes further remarked
he had moved the appointment Sh
a committee , upon the suggestion thi
gentlemen around him who
interested in property slang the
ver , and stated that all money ap- ch
roprlated In 1879 , which had isot
been used , had been covered backinto
the treasury , aciording to an act of
1874 , BO that only the $30,000 appro
priated in 1880 was available.
Mr. Bartlett , who had made a mo
tion that the committee ba appointed
by the chair , withdrew his motion.
Secretary Allen said that it was
suggested that sometime in the sum
mer a convention of representatives
from all the northycstern states be
called to assemble at Omaha and dia-
cuss the whole question of Missouri
river transportation.
CoL Chase moved a veto of thanks
to Senator Van Wyck for his presence
and able remarks cancarning the mat

The Glee Club Kehearaal.
The first public rehearsal of the
Omaha Glee club , which ws.3 given
Tuesday in the lecture room of
the Presbyterian church , was In
every sense a delightful affair , and
Mas exceptional for two things. Tha
programme included but eight num
bers and the entertainment lasted bnt
one hour : the response to the en
cores were with a single exception
simply a repetition of a stanz * of the
song or chorus. The club ap
peared with' seventeen membars ,
forming a very effective chorus. The
two quartettes , the first , "SchnberVs
Serenade , " by Messrs. Morris , W. B.
Williams , Parr and Smith , and the
second , "Spring's Come , " by Messrs.
Smith , Used , J. W. Wilkins and
France , were given In a moat effective
manner.
The two solo numbara wero'Mr. R.
R. France's "Who Treads the Path , "
and W. B. Wilkins' "Sweethearts. "
This was Mr. France's first appear
ance as a solo singer before an Omaha
audience , and he stepped at once into
favor , possessing a rich , well trained
voice , and singing with rare tooling.
Of Mr. France's qualifications as a solo
singer there is no question.
Mr. Wilkins was In excellent vcica
and sustained his reputation as one of
our leading singers.
Great credit is duo to Mr. F. S.
Smith , director of the organization ,
for the marked success of this first en
tertainment.
The unique programmes , the work
of Mr. Goo. W. Boyden , are worthy
of mention.
