The new of the letting or the contract for the construction of the Fremont power canal, which was received here last even ing, ha stirred up mere enthusiasm among business men than has existed since the old boom times. There waa a feeling among many that the scheme would fall through, and that sufficient capital could not be procured ' to construct the canal even If the engineers should report tar- orably In fact, a general lack of con fidence all around. The power canal plan wa started about ten years ego. A Chicago promoter by the name of Williams wa here In the Inter est of the scheme and succeeded In Inter esting local capital to the extent of the formation of a company and the payment of CSCO for surveys. The William people professed to have million at their com mand, but none of their backer appeared to take much stock In power canals. An Investigation of their previous career raised strong suspicions that they had been con nected with other parties of the nam In promoting" Iron work In Michigan and Iowa which proved brilliant failure and the plan fell through. The company still maintained Its existence. A few years later Mr. Lloyd, engineer of the Gothen burg canal, became interested In the Fre mont canal, but nothing wa accomplished.

The route presents no serious engineer ing difficulties. For some distance after leaving the Platte it follow along the bottom land, then extends Into the bluffs. A far as possible and along the, last end of It route It follows natural water course. . Only a few ravine have to be croaned. but a the general surface of the country south of the Platte Is much higher than tbe river itself, the bottoms of these re lower then the level of the canal. rail ef One Haadred Feet. It crosses th right-of-way of th Lincoln branch of th Northwestern about half a mile north of Cedar Bluffs, then, turning lightly to tha south, reaches Elm creek, following that stream to it mouth near the west bridge acroea the south channel of th Platte. A better natural location for a dam than the mouth of this creek cannot be found. JFor a distance of . Quarter of a mile the creek flow at tbe bottom of a deep rrooded ravine, the sides of which are from rlxty to ninety feet high and very steep, in places aJmost perpendicular. The ravin 1 only a few feet wide at the bot torn. The dam. which will be placed at the mouth of. this creek, will hold back an Im mense volume of water, extending back over hundreds of acres of land. The fall will be about 100 feet, which will give suffi cient pressure to run the most powerful machinery for generating electrical power, and there Is ample space at tbe mouth of the creek for an enormous power plant. The canal basin, thus located In the midst of fertile farm lands of irregular shape winding In and out among the bluffs and deep enough to float good-slsed steamer and sailing boats, will undoubtedly become a resort during the summer season. Most of the land which will be covered by the basin is occupied by highly Improved farms, snd the price tbe company will have to pay for them will be quite aa Item. The canal was not at first regarded with much favor by some Saunders county farmers, but later there seem to be no opposition to It. The land lying between the river and canal within a mile or perhaps mor from th dam undoubtedly will be pur chased by tU company for pleasure re sort purposes. - , .
