Methods to Make Omaha Great
Industrial Center Proposed
at Conference of BusiA
ness Men.
Methods o! making Omaha a
great industrial center were dis
cussed by more than 200 men, rep
resenting IS of the leading business
associations of the city, at a "Wake
yp Omaha" meeting in the Masonic
temple at noon yesterday. '
Those present were picked dele
gates from their organizations. The
meeting was sponsored by the
Kiwanis club and a large body of
members of the club were present.
F. H. Davis, president of the
First National bank, and chairman
of the committee of Omaha men to
finance the building of a railroad
bridge at Yankton, S. D., outlined
briefly the advantages of the bridge
to Omaha.
New Omaha Road.
"When built, the bridge will prob
ably bring at least one railroad into
Omaha from the north," he said.
"This road will tap the rich states
of North and South Dakota, which
have heretofore been sealed to
Omaha due to lack of direct rail
road transportation.
"As a result of this lack of trans
portation facilities Chicago, Min
neapolis and other cities to the
northeast have "benefited from the
rich agricultural and stock raising
country'continued Mr. Davis. "A
bridge at Yankton will represent
only a small outlay of capital by
Omaha interests, as Yankton; inter
ests have already raised 'three
fourths t of a million dollars to
build it. '
"A drive to raise $300,000 in
Omaha to help build the bridge will
start in a short time."
Lauds American Legion.
Mr. Davis also lauded the Ameri
can Legion as an organization and
proposed to lend it every'assistance
possible Here.
A. F. Stryker of the Live Stock
exchange prophesied that the live
stock trade of Omaha would be as
large as that of Chicago in the next
five years. Omaha will cut Chicago
off from its base of supplies, he
said, and its volume of business will
double in five years.
Harley G. Conant of the Conant
hotel declared that a new hotel of
not less than 3S0 rooms will be re
quired every year from now on to
keep up with the growth of the city.
Omaha has had at least one new
hrge hotel every year for the past
10 years, he said.
A motion by John W. Gamble,
president of the Chamber of Com
nerce, to appoint two men from
cccli organization represented at
the meeting on a commission to
carry on the booster work in an in
tensive manner was passed unani
mously. A great upbuilding program will
be carried on chtring December un
!cr the direction of these men, it
was decided.
Other speakers of the day were
Mayor Smith. J. H. Beveridge, for
the Rotary club: C. E. Corey for
the Concord club; C. G. Powell of
the Omaha Track association', W. R.
McFarland of the Real Estate board
andTtSeorge F. Harris of the Balbach
Cxygen and Hydrogen company,
South Side.
Expect Changes at
Central High Will
, Be Made at Last
. Several members of the Board
of Education visited the Central
High school yesterday afternoon to
look over the grounds which will
be affected by the 45odge street
-rut. The southeast corner of the
high school grounds will be cut
nbout 22 feet. The members pro
pose to excavate the dirt around
the lower floor of the building,
which will give additional light to
the rooms.
Electric light 'must be burnt
throughout the day in most of the
basement floor rooms. Manual
training, sewing and cooking are
taught on this floor. The orchestra
and band room is so small that
many people, "who ordinarily would
ioin in these instructions furnished
by the school, are crowded out.
"It is probable that the athletic
room, which recently was aban
doned, will be used as the music
room," saidk G. Masters, principal
of the school.
