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.
With the reorganization of th Commercial
club two years ago L. D. Richards and
Secretary J. F. Hanson again took hold of
the scheme and began a regular campaign

of the city at the mouth of Elm creek.
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. - , .

In the location of many large industries

Is two miles, but one of the survey mad
