Editor Sheaf:-
Before 1 left Warren you asked me,
5G write. letter ua you telling Of our
"trip and this country. I have little.
time this morning and Sc Z will en-
deavor ua tell you something Of our
"trip.
Nothing eft interest happened un-
TIL we reached Omaha Thursday
evening. Fridag morning We took.
an auromubile "trip around Omaha.
In all we cuvereu about fifty lilies.
Omaha is d very busy City. 1t Isl, as
you ara aware, large railroad CEN
ter. Their Union depot is fine.
STRUCTURE. IL anything, the building
itself is BETTER than the Union Sta
tionl at ST. Paul, but It's yard is not.
near as good as 1T is not covered ex-
cepn. over the walks. The public
buildings are very fine. We saw all
Of them from the outside but did not
have time 6o go thru any OF them,
The wholesale district appeared 6os
be very busy. The buildings in this
district are large and airy. They are
largely made Of red brick with some
using the red sand suane trimming,
The retail district has many fine
stores. Some Of CUR party took ad-
vantage Of a. fire sale which was
being held and got some very good
bargains. We vent into several Of
the stores and every where there
seemed TO be general air CT pros
periry and all the stores were fairly
crowded and all seemed TO be doing
d. good business. What impressed
as as favarahlY as anything Was their
park. They have d park of eighty
acres d large share Of which is left as;
natural as possible. Some parts Of it
we're we'll kept up with elegant grass
plaus and flower beds. We saw one
weeping willow tree which was the
prebuiesu THAI have ever seen any
where. The residence poruion OF the
City is filed with very fine residen-
ces. I1 would take too ---uchi time To
detail the structure Of the houses
and to- tell Of the beautiful yards.
We certainly 6ho1 that Omaha COM
paress favorabiY with St Paul and,
Minneapolis, sz-s.-.-.+-
We did not have time TO sDGp IN
Denver SO caIlrlnu tell. much abtuh it,
The ElkS were beginnIng to gather
when we goI. there and the Union
Station was very much crowded, MI
and Mrs =. Wenuzeii left. 0fle2 party
there To visit with their daughter.
Mrs. Rue, and Mn, Bealdmore- left
for RaWlins to- see the mines, The
rest Of the parity cames to- Langnont..
LongmGnb is d town OF between
seven and eigtlt thousand and from
all appearances it is growing very
rapidly. New houses are being built
everywhere and there Isl SO { am IN
formed, d Dig demand for houses.
The pea canning factory is the
beet factory is d very large one Be-
sides these two Industries there are
two, Touring mills and there will
soon be erecb6d anOufler fdctDrY to
build snackers Whine there are no
very large stores here There is a large
number OF very good stores and the
stock Of each is we'll kept UP. Sahur-
day when we came. into b0Hn,, 6Ee
main sureeh was Iined with teams.
Old Mn, SIees uald me that, he counted
the teams On Main sureen that after
noon and There were one hundred
fifty of them besides a number going
back and forth, Every day since we
have been here Main street. seems
tp4 be- crowded att all times ct uile day.
tho. IN. the afternoon there are more
people in town. Saturday night ii
would make. one think of Nicolleu
Ave. IN Minneapolis for every one
seems do, be out IN force tg do bheir
trading
The people are i've. rusnling pusil-
ers. { have not found d 'klocker'a :
here Every one is a booster and is
working might, and main for Long
mont. The population is largely
American., tho there are Russians.
Mexicans, scandinaviansi and Ger
mans here.
The atmosphere is very hracing
AT first 1T was a little hard u6 get
enough ain into ones lungs, due nc
doubt to the fact that 6he air is SO
much igtuen than irl Minnesota
We SOON got over that feeling how
ever and now enjoy the air ilnmense-
W.. The days are rather warm but
the nights are very cool sa ui1an one
has No trouble genning a good nights s s
sleep.
This country is full OF SURPRISES
We have had several drives into the
country and when one sees wheat
