FORT OMAHA BLOOMS AGAIN
Old Poit Once Mtre the Scene of Military
Actirity.
GETTING READY FOR THE SIGNAL CORPS
Bolldlaga Bad Orondl Belli Re
modeled for the Accommodation
f Part of the Arm? of the
felted States.
Fort Omaha Is Just at thla time one of
the busiest places In and about Umana.
The work of the rehabilitation of the post
for a United States army signal station and
barracks has Just commenced, but a great
deal of work lias been done out there this
winter. The sewerage system has been
about completed, connecting with the city
system of sewerage, and extends to all of
the buildings, and will terminate In a catch
basin at the northeast corner of the reser
vation, where It will connect with the
main sewer of the city adjacent to Miller
park. The connections are yet to be made
with the buildings.
A force of twenty-three men Is now em
ployed tearing out the Interior of the old
administration building In order to trans
form it Into barracks for the two signal
companies that are to be stationed there
just as soon as the fort la ready for occu
pancy. The barracks rooms will occupy the en
tire main and second floors of the old ad
ministration building and the third floor
will be transformed Into an amusement
and reading room. The entire building will
be given a new outfit of plumbing for heat
ing, water and ventilation purposes. A
ten-foot cement walk will be built In front
of the barracks and cement walks will be
provided for the entire grounds, while the
roadways will be macadamized. A two
story kitchen and mess hall will be built
at the north side of the barracks and the
officers quarters will be thoroughly equip
ped with new plumbing and heating out
fits. Gnard Hone Will Re Modern.
The old Iron cells In the guardhouse are
being torn out and will be replaced with
modern ateel cells. The frame passageway
connecting with the guardhouse and the
old brick cesspool room will be torn away
and the cesspool room will be transformed
into a hose house. The guard house base
ment will be utilized as a furnace room,
lavatory and closets for the prisoners.
The quartermaster storehouse building Is
also being remodeled. The central part will
be made Into a bakery, equipped with mod
ern ovens and baking appliances. The south
wing will be utilized as a quartermaster
storehouse and the north wing for a com
missary storehouse.
The new quartermaster stables and
wagon sheds will be built about ISO yards
south from the guard house.
The approximate cost of the Improve
ments now being made will reach $30,000,
and this does not Include the new barracks
mess hall and kitchen or stables and sheds.
The work Is being carried on under the
personal supervision of Major M. Gray
Zalinskl, constructing quartermaster. Mr.
John Lau Is the supervising architect of
the work and has immediate charge, and
the work Is being pushed along with great
rapidity.
Effect on Real Estate.
The rehabilitation of the old fort has
had the effect of stimulating the real es
tate business up In that vicinity. A num
ber of long abandoned storerooms
are being fitted up in anticipation
of the coming of the troops once
more. Real estate is Increasing in value
and during the summer the fort will be
come a popular resort. The grounds are
the prettiest In tho state and with beauti
ful Miller park Just adjacent no prettier
view can be obtained about Omaha.
It la probable that the Elkhorn Railway
company will ouild a spur Into the grounds
to connect with the quartermaster's store
house. The company Is already making
surveys for this purpose, with the addi
tional view to hauling the necessary build
ing material for the new structures directly
Into the grounds, thus saving the long and
expensive hauls made by teams and
wagons.
t RIVER QUIET, WEATHER FINE
Clear Water and Bright Sunshine
with No Prospect of Chance
In Sight.
There has been nearly half a foot fall In
the river at Blair bridge since Thursday
morning, and the ice la golngout In fine
shape. Nothing Is reported from up the
river, and there, are no ice jams anywhere
along1 the river that threaten any danger.
The Ice being so rotten, and constantly
, rotting no danger from that cause la appre
hended at all now under the prevailing
weather conditions.
Forecaster Welsh aaya regarding the1
weather: "There la but little to aay, other
that while It may turn oft a little cooler,
there la but little prospect for any signi
ficant change in the present conditions for
the next twenty-four or thirty-six hours."
