Project to Straighten Elkhorn Kiver
Seriously Considered.

Douglas county VIII work with the coun
ties of Doda-e. Washington and Sarpy In
the straightening of the Elkhorn river, and
the first official step In the matter was
taken Friday afternoon by the Hoard of
County Commissioners of this county
when it passed a resolution to look Into
tho proposition and to call a public meet
ing of all lntenested property owners.
J. C. Robinson of Waterloo, a largo prop
erty owner, and chairman of the Poualas
county committee: Mons Johnson, post
master at.-Valley, secretary of the Douglas
county committee and also a heavy prop
erty owner: J. F Hanson of Fremont, sec
retary of the Commercial club of that city,
and W. J. Court wrlght, also of Fremont,
and the man who established before the
supreme court the legality of the law grant
ins the power to form draln.ijte districts,
appeared before the board during the
afternoon and explained the proposition
fully. Attorney Court wright also filed the
petition for the work with the county clerk
and put up the bond to secure the county.
Tha petition Is signed by about 100 property
owners in the four counties.
Maps were also presented, and the com
missioners Inquired Into the drainage prop.
osltlonclosly. -The maps were explained
by Mr. lUnwn and according to his state
ment the straightening of the river will
drain an erea of about 90,000 acres. Most
of the land Is in Pouglaa county and for
that reason the petition for the work was
filed In this county and the commissioners
of Doutrlaa county will alone superintend
the work, though a large part of It will
be dona In other counties.
The area to be drained in Pouglas county
Is given roughly at tf.OOO acrca, In Dodtfe
at 35,000, and 3.000 acres each In Washing
ton and Sarpy counties.
The Klkhorn river is now ahnut 100 miles
In length from the Junction of the Ixiaaii
creek, about ten miles north of Fremont, to
where It empties Into the Missouri river.
This will be shortened to forty-five miles.
In addition to the shin-tenlnff of the river
a complete drainage system, enabling
every farmer In the district to have an
outlet for tile drains Is planned, the esti
mated cost of the entire work being i
per acre. The cost can be paid when the
work Is done, or the payment can be di
vided into twenty equal annual install
ments. Klkhorn Curries Big; Volume.
The straightening of the liver will cost
comparatively little, say those interested
In the work, the principal cost being In the
detailed arteries which will feed the stream
and relieve the congested conditions which
confront the farmer every spring. During
tempts to carry a vulume of water in ex
tempts to cary a volume of water In ex
cess of 2,000 cubic feet per second. This
Is more than the great I'latte river carrioi
in low tide. The result is that the low
lands are covered with water and the
farmers lose heavily.
in talking to the commlsslnneis Mr. Han
son said that the straightening of the Klk
horn river was a "ground hog case," bo

be liable on their bonds, as filed with the
county clerk, for the cost of the election.
If the proposition carries, then the district
will pay the cost.
One meeting has been held In Fremont
and two In Valley, but at all of them the
property owners were enthusiastically In
favor of straightening the river and drain
ing the low lands, and not one dissenting
voice has been heard against It, accord
ing to the boosters who appeared before
the commissioners Friday.
The Douglas county commissioners and
the county surveyor will go to Fremont
January 28 and view the proposed course
of the river and attend a meeting with the
commissioners of that county, an expert to
he sent by the federal government and the
Interested property owners. Then, on Feb
ruary 2, a meeting of all those In the four
counties who are Interested In the project
will be held with the Douglas county com
missioners in Omaha.
BRANCHES OF RIG HOSPITAL
Neb in ik n City and Other Towns Want
the Mrtho4l. to Estab
lish There.
Method'sts of Nobrnska City and of at
least two other towns In the state are
maneuvering; to secure the location there of
a b-anrh of the Methodist Kplscopa hos
n'tnl of Om.iha. The names of the towns
other than the one given are withheld, but
that Nehiaska City Is In this unique race
develops from the visit there of Mrs. Allle
P. Mel.auchlln, C. V. Pel.amatie, a trustee
of the local hospital, and Superintendent
n. I. Wright of the Nebraska City dis
trict. This committee looked over the sites
which Nebrnnkn C:ty proposes and de
clared Itself favorably lmp-essed with the
real estnte situation and also with the
promises of money which are madp there.
The several communities which are In the
race are a good deal more anxious to have
the branch put In than the Omaha hospital
authorities are so to act.
The slie of the hospital here makes Its
conduct a matter of considerable expendi
ture of time and energy and the addition
of one or more branches will complicate
matters somewhat. On the other hand. It
la difficult to refuse to lend a hand, or
aeveral hands, when Nebraska City, for
Instance, will furnish the ground, thu
building and the furnishing of a branch.
Trustees of the Methodist hospital are not
Inclined to disrus the nutter until some,
decision has been leached and refuse to
give out the names of the other towna
which have solicited the istabllshmeni of
branches there.

his tally being 38. C. C. Rosewater was
second with 3fi. T. A. Fry had 34 and Edgar
Allen ran fourth with 31. The rest were
pretty well bunched.
Some Spirit In Election.
A fatr-slzed contest arose over the elec
tion. Several of the men elected directors
Tuesday arrived at the meeting with a list
of twenty-five names with which they had
thoughtfully provided themselves or had
been thoughtfully provided for them.
Other men not ao equipped arose to the
emergency and by a few words deftly In
serted In the ear of others made up for
lost time.
On the surface there waa nothing to In
dlcate any men or set of men were playing
fairly shrewd politics, but nevertheless up
to the time at voting there was consid
erable astir in a quiet way. Euclid Martin
was first elected president by acclamation
and tho election of the twenty-five then
proceeded.
When the votes had been cast and the
tellers were at work counting them a few
men present did a little "plugging" In be
half of the candidacies of several men for
the board of directors of the Omaha club
which will be elected Saturday,
BILL TO SOAK W0N'TW0RKS
Associated Charities Will Ask Legis
lature to Punish for
Nonsnpnort.
There will be no more feeding and
housing for a month of Irresponsible per
sons who refuse to provide for their fami
lies while their families are left to starve
and freeee. providing tho legislature en
acts into law a bill which the Associated
Charities of Omaha will present to tha as
sembly this winter. Instead of the delin
quents being given a warm home and well
fed for a month, they will be Incarcerated
for a period of three months and be com
pelled to do hard labor as well. With
these provisions It is thought that the de
linquents will decide to support their fami
lies rather than to spend a quarter of a
year in Jail.
Miss Ida Jonts, general secretary of the
Associated Charities, presented a rough
draft of the proposed bill to the directors
of the association at their monthly meeting
Friday afternoon, and It met with their
hearty approval. The bill has as yet not
been perfected and will be given to Gen
eral C. F. Manderson, president of the as
sociation, for hla approval before finally
being sent to one of the Douglas county
legislators for Introduction in the house.
In Its present state it provides that a man
convicted of non-support can be parolled
to some responsible person and allowed to
go to work, his wages first being signed
o-er. Should he refuse to work, then the
Jail sentence of three months must be
served.
Rev. James Wise, an Episcopal minister
In South Omaha, appeared before the board
and asked that a branch of the Omaha
Associated Charities be formed In his city,
and a committee was appointed to investi
gate and report the feasibility of the
proposition.
A meeting of all charitable and educa
tional organisations in the city which so
licit funds will be called for the purpose
of forming a city conference.
The directors' meeting was held In the
office of K. C. Barton, with Mr. Barton In
the chair. Those present were: C. C. Bel
den, E. W. Dixon, Father McGovern, Mrs.
Draper Smith and Mlas Jonts.
FEW CHANGES ON THE C. & S.
No Radical Transfers of Trafflo Offi
cials Looked For.
H0LDREGE TALKS OF AFFAIRS
Experted to See President Uarrla of
Burllnitton Placed at Head of
Colorado Road' and It Made
Part of System.
"The announcement that George B. Har
ris, president of the Burlington, Is to be
also president of the Colorado & Southern
comes aa no surprise to me, although I
know nothing definite about it except what
I read In The Bee," said O. W. Holdrege,
general manager of the Burlington. "I ex
pected to see the announcement made that
the new line would be operated aa a part
of the Burlington system, but Just how
that will be worked out I am not certaJn."
Mr. Holdrege will go to Denver January
if), where he will 'meet Mr. Harris and Vice
Presidents Wlllard and Miller of the Bur
lington to confer with the Colorado &
Southern officials and to make a trip over
the new line. Local officials think that
little or no change will be made In the
traffic officials of the Colorado & South
ern and these are the men who have the
acquaintance and who go out and get the
buainess.
. Mr. Holdrege says that while tentative
plana are being discussed for soma railroad
building In the spring nothing definite has
been decided upon.
The Colorado & Southern also has some
plans for building of new lines this summer
which probably will be carried out by the
Burlington, In fact one of these to cost
about I:.000,Oj0 Is expected to be pat under
way within the next few weeks. This Is a
stretch of track 155 miles long In Texas
which is designed to give the Colorado &
Southern a connection with the Santa Fe
and thus give that line an outlet to tha
gulf. Tho Sunta Fe has no good route tr
Its California products to the gulf ports.
The new line will connect the Wichita Val
ley division of the Colorado A Southern at
Stamford, Tex., with the Santa Fe at
Plnlnvlew.
President Trumbull of the Colorado &
Southern has been working on the plans
for the new line for some time and when
his line was sold to tho Burlington the di
rectors of the latter decided to carry out
his plans.
