THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 20, 191S.
SPR AGUE STREET
OPENING ASKED
IN ORDINANCE
Measure for Improvement of
Winspear Triangle to Be
Put Up to the Council
Tuesday.
'. An ordinance providing for the
opening of Sprague street from
Eighth street to thccorner of the
"Winspear triangle," about one
block, will be introduced in city
council next Tuesday by City Com
missioner Towl.
This is a small factor in one of
the biggest industrial developments
that Omaha has ever seen, a project
that has been originated and is be-
insr pushed by Commissioner Towl
The Winspear triangle consists of
39 acres lying east of the Union
Pacific shops, along the river. It
is owned by the city. It is low land,
but is destined, says Mr. Towl, to
became a great industrial center. It
will have docks where derricks will
unload the ships that will ply the
Missouri in years to come.
It already has railroad tracks run
ning through it, and other spurs
from various lines can easily be
brought in. In, the plans of Mr.
Towl there will be not only docks,
but great warehouses, stock pens,
elevators and large tracts for manu
facturing plants.
To Cost but Little. ,
And all this will cost the city but
little. Mr. Towl is now having the
city rubbish dumped on this tract.
Within the- year about half of it
will be filled up. When big grad
ing operations like that of Dodge
street are done, after the war, the
ground wilh be used as a top filler
for the triangle.
Then the fill will be made on the
banks of the river itself to bring
the deep water line up close to the
fill, so that. barges and ships can
set in close.
The Winspear triangle will be
worth easily $10,000 an acre when
this is done and the doing of it will
cost very little.
The industrial bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce is extremely
anxious to have this great improve
ment made. It will put Omaha in
the front of river cities in the mat
ter X) ship, track, warehouse and
manufacturing facilities.
Firms Urged to Use Bureau
for Employment of Women
The women's employment bureau
of the Chamber of Commerce, since
its inception a few weeks ago, has
placed 383 women in positions in
Omaha. At present, Mrs. Mabel
Walker, manager of the bureau, has
more than 100 names of young wo
men seeking employment and firms
employing women are urged to list
their wants with this bureau so that
they may be quickly supplied.

Dr. Manning Seeks to
Find Cause of Spread '
of the Spanish "Flu"
,
Health Commissioner Manninsr
has secured the co-operation of the
authorities at the University of Ne"
braska College of Medicine and the
Lreighton university to make a
scientific research into the cause
ai.d control and method of trans1
mission of Spanish influenza.
He telegraphed to Chicago for'a
supply of the vaccine being used
there, and this will be used as soon
as it arrives on patrons chosen for
experiments. The leading doctors
at the two medical colleges are be
ing organized for this scientific in
vestigation, and Dr. Manning be
lieves much valuable information to
combat the disease will be-secured.
Dr. Manning Saturday morning
visited St. Joseph's hospital where
he found a wonderful organization
for treating the disease.
There are 90 patients on one
floor," he said. "Nurses and roctors
remain on that floor, ministering
to those patients. They wear gauze
masks. It is a wonderful organization."
About 100 new cases of "flu"
were reported to the health com
missioner's office in the 24 hours
ending Saturday morning. This
shows a decrease. New cases have
been running from 110 to 150 a day.
General Rain Over West
Helps Winter Wheat Crop
Railroads report that the rain
over Wyoming and Colorado Friday
continued during the night, spread
ing over all Nebraska, most of
South Dakota and worked well
down into Kansas. When reports
were filed at 8 o'clock this morning
rain was still general over Nebraska.
Over central Nebraska and along
the South Platte and Republican
river valleys it rained all Friday
night, the precipitation ranging from
one to two, or more inches. Prac
tically all over Nuckolls, Clay,
Adams, Thayer and Red Willow!
counties there was a two-inch rain.
Reports to the railroads are to the
effect that the acreage sown to win
ter wheat through the South Platte
country is considerably in excess of
last year and the opinion is that the
iecent rains, coupled with the one
of Friday night will quickly germi
nate the seed and give the plant a
good start before freezing weather
comes.

"I want to get this boy on a farm
and I will vouch that he will make
good. I know this boy, whose sal
vation lies in getting him away
from the city. I feel sure that there
is a place for him within reasonable
distance of Omaha," Mr. Miller ex
plained. Those who may be interested are
requested to call at Mr. Miller's
office, write or telephone.

Dr. Hoffman Offered
Car for Visits; Result
Exclusive Dee otory
In Friday afternoon s Bee, 2
o'clock edition, appeared an exclu
sive story telling oi tne men or a
roadster belonging to Dr. . O. S
Hoffman from his residence at 3507
Harney street.
Before 6 o'clock Friday night
within four hours after the exclusive
story appeared in The Bee Dr,
Hoffman received seven different of
fers of cars with chauffeurs. Later
the stolen car was recovered.
Although Dr. Hoffman did not
find it necessary to avail himself of
the offer of a car, the expediency
with which the offers were made is
indicative of the desire of Omahans
to extend every convenience and aid
to doctors who are playing such an
important part nr fighting andstem
mtng the epidemic of Spanish in
fluenza which is sweeping the city.
Also the short space of time in
which people became acquainted
with Dr, Hoffman's loss is convinc
ing evidence of the expedient and
thorough circulation of "The Bee.
Work is Being Rushed
on U. P. Improvements
in Council Bluffs
s
Reports that work had been stop
ped on Union Pacific improvements
in, Council Bluffs were emphatically
denied Saturday by H. A. Van Pat
ten, superintendent of the Lym5h

000,000 worth of work in Council
Bluffs for the Union Pacific. Round
houses and machine shops are be
ing enlarged or built and other con
struction is being rushed.
"We have been retarded some
what," said Mr. Van Patten, "but
we haven't stopped work. Instead
of stopping work we are going
ahead and making good progress,
and we are seeking men, and more
men and are ready to take all we can
get."
The -work being done in Council
Bluffs is said to be among the most
important of this character being
done by the railroads during war

We have plenty of water at Fort

need of this water main extension,"
said the telegram to the War de

ed long and hard on this proposition
and finally an appropriation of $40,
