BIG POWER PLANT AT NIOBRARA
Thirteen Million Dollar is to Uo

Developing 1'oircr.
That construction work on the 420 miles
ot tho Niobrara, Sioux City & Omaha
railroad, promoted by tho Baker Con
struction, company of Omaha will begin
not later than Juno of tho present year
Is now believed to bo certain. That work
when commenced will bo pushed as rap
Idly as posslblo Is equally certain.
At this time there Is said to bo but one
thing that stands in tho way of tho con
struction and completion or tho Niobrara,
Sldax City & Omaha railroad, and this
Is not an obstacle, being merely a mat
ter of form.
In order to construct tho Niobrara,
Slaux City & Omaha road, funds must
be procldod, and It is estimated that
$13,01)0,000 will bo required to build and
equip tho lino and constructtho power
plant at Niobrara, where tho Niobrara
river will develop' 75,000 horso power, or
home 55,000 more horso power than is
used In the aggregate in tho city of
Omaha at this time.
In order to ralso the $13,000,000 that will
be requited to build the line, equip It
and develop tho power and construct tho
power plant It Is necessary to Issue and
sell bonds. Before bonds can bo issued
the whole project must be gono over by
tho Nebraska State Railway commission
and authority granted. Tho proposition
is now with the commission and has gone
this far. Contracts, bonds and all of the
formalities havo been investigated and
a proposition satisfactory to the com
mission, fully protecting tho rights of
the people of Nebraska and complying
with tho law in every particular put up
to tho state officials and the fiscal
agents of tho company. Tho terms have
been considered and tentatively agreed
to This has been sent east to tho fiscal
agents for their signatures, and as soon
as it is returned and approved by tho
state commission, It is expected that the
order authtJrhsftsjytha sola -of. bqn&s and
stock will issue.
Financiers Satisfied.
That money" for construction will bo
HvallaDlo immediately after the issuanco
of the commission's order is said to be
certain, It being asserted that eastern
financiers, after having looked over tho
project and tho property, are ready to
underwrite it for the amount needed.
It Is expected that details will all be
worked out within the next ten days or
so and that soon after that grading con
tracts will bo let,
C. W. Baker, president of tho Baker
Construction company that is promoting
the new railroad proposition, has just
come in from a trip over tho line arid
says that as soon as the money is avail
able for construction work will begin.
Surveys have all been completed and
much of tho right of way secured. Ho
has been working on the project flvo
years and now feels that he Is about to
see his efforts crowned with success.
As to tho Niobrara, Sioux City &
Omaha railroad. It is to ue an electric
line with an overhead trolley system. It
will bo independent, having no connec
tion with any other railroad or system
of roads. The plans contemplate a line
from Omaha to 131k City and thence on
to Norfolk', with a branch from Elk
City to South Sioux City, from South
Sioux City to Niobrara and from Nio
brara to O'Neill, with a cross line from
West Point to Decatur.
Tho plans of the company contemplate
the expenditure of $1,000,000 to $1,500,000
In Omaha on terminals and a passenger
and freight depot, the site of which has
not been decided upon, though tt has
been determined that these terminals
must bo near tho business center of the
city. Omaha, however, has not been
asked to contribute anything, ncr havo

The new road will do both a freight and
passenger business. When In operation,
passenger trains will run to Sioux City,

REPEAL BAM IS DELAYED
Opening of Legislative Fight Post
poned Till This Week.
O'GORMAN WON'T CALL MEETING
Will Wolt Until Absent Member of
Interoeennlo Canals Commit
tee Are In Attend
a nee.
WABHINGTON, March 22. Tho opening
of the legislative battle for repeal ot tho
tolls exemption provision of the Pcnama
canal act was delayed until next week by
prolonged consideration In the houso to
day of tho rivers and harbors appropria
tion bill. Renewed skirmishing in tho
senate served to reveal, however, the in
tensity of feeling In trio controversy.
Administration leaders had planned to
call up tho Sims repeal bill In the house
today and present a rule to limit general
dobate to fifteen hours. It Is not likely
now that the bill can be taken up before
Tuesday- or that a vote can be had until
late next week.
Senator O'Gonnan, chairman of the In
teroceanlo canals committee, who opposes
tho repeal, announced lif tho senate to
day that ho could not call a meeting ot
his committee to tako up the repeal con
troversy until several absent members
returned.
So Wish to Delay.
Ho had no wish to delay settlement ot
tho Issue, but could not force it In Jus;co
to tho members of the commltteo who
wished to have a volco in the prcllmtnpry
action on the subject.
Senator Owen, a member of tho com
mittee, who earnestly supports the presi
dent's request for exemption repeal, said
he would not seek to hasten consideration
of tho matter unduly.
Senator Jones' resolution, calling upon
the president for Information as to what
foreign governments have protested
against American toll exemption, was re
ferred by tho senate today to the com
mltteo on foreign relations. Senator
O'Gorman asserting that ho did not w'sh
It referred to tho canals commltteo. Sen
ator Brlstow, who previously had urged
reference to the canals committee, agrood
to let it go to the foreign relations com
mittee, "provided that committee will
act."
Causes Lively Comment.
Senator Jones caused lively comment by
reading a newspaper article stating that
President Wilson had sought to Infjuonco
the house to limit debato on tho roJ5cal
bill. Senator Thompson urged Senator
Jones to consult the preiident oftener,
maintaining that by so doing ho "would
be a better man and better informed."
Senator Jones denied that in his recent
conference with President Wilson relate
ing to his speech on the repeal contro
versy tho president had told him ho waa
"skating on thin Ice." Asked by Senator
Pomertflo "If the Ice seems thicker this
morning," Senator Jones denied that his
motives were political, "adding that he
was opposed to exemption repeal "on Its
merits."--.., -.-. ..j ...

Olub Women Deputy
Assessors and Plan
to Get Tax Dodgers
CHICAGO, March 22,-Tho feminist
movement in Chicago progressed another
step today when eight club women were
appointed deputy assessors. They wilt
be assigned to districts where their work
will be the most effective end most
pleasant They will seek especially to
locate and assess tho property of women,
who at present compose less than VA per
cent of the taxpayers of -the county.
"In the few days we have discussed tho
woman deputy question a dozen new ideas
In assessing have developed," asserted
Frank W. Koraleskl, secretary ot the
Board of Assessors. "I believe women
will prove to be our most Ingenious
deputies. One ot them has already made
a suggestion entirely new to me. Sho
said, that many Chicago women- have
their private checking accounts, hold
blocks and bonds In their own name, and
possess wardrobes representing more
money than has been charged to their
husbands in tho past. She wanted to
know why women who import rich furs,
silks and lingerie, which to the ordinary
man would be worth a fortune, shouldn't
ay taxes on them."

staff, spent an hour at Buckingham pal
ace, after tho prime minister had been,
visited by tho archbishop of Canterbury,
head ot the English church,
Tho situation today seemed less alarm
ing, tho public being inclined to wait
with patlcnco thn expected statement in
tho House of Commons tomorrow regard
ing the movement of troops in Ulster and
the resignations of officers.
Lord Charles Berreaford, a strong ad-

'7 know for a fact that many navai
officers, including those of high rank and
some of the best men We possess will rc-
sign their commissions If ordered to tako
part In tha coercion o( Ulster or even It
the army alone Is utilized for that put
pose." '
Lord Charles Berresford contends that
the argument that the officers and men
who refuse to coerce Ulster might rcfuto
in the future to participate in the quell
ing of riots, does not hold good, there
being no comparison, ho says, between
civil war and riot.
Speaking at a nationalist demonstra
tion at alasgow today, t Joseph Devlin,
M. P., for Belfast, said the Irish party
never had asked for an army in Ulster.
If the government felts its duty to sco

In tho face of threats, the responsibility
was the government's. It thero should
be riot and disorder the responsibility
was not the nationalists.
LONDON, March 22. King George as

the king Is using every influence to avert
bloodshed In the Ulster controversy. He

Modern
merchandising
Forty years ago our wants
wero comparatively few and tho
means of gratifying them cor
respondingly scarce.
Hats woro hats, shoes wero
shoes, and clothes wero clothes
In theso' days.
Requirements today are much
more complex, our needs uro
multiplied.
So that it is not enough to
make up our minds to buy a
new hat or a new pair of shoes
or a now suit of clothes.
Style, quality, service, and
many other essentials occupy
our minds now, when we feel
the need of purchasing any
thing. Newspaper advertising has
opened our eyes to the need
and to the distinct advantage of
being Informed.
And retailers In their con
stant striving to please and to
create new business are dally
telling of the merits of their
wares In the columns of de
pendable newspapers like The
Dee.
Keep up with the times.
Don't neglect your newspaper.
