WESTERN WOOLCROWERSTO
HAVE STORAGE FACILITIES
Difficulties Of Sheepmen in Past Years to Be
Overcome by the Establishment Of
Warehouses in Omaha.

Will NC DullI. All CIIlCiiCo
have been made with banks of
Omaha and other cities, if their
aid should be necessary, to fl
nance the entire movement of
wool. For collateral they
will have the entire amount of
wool stored in the warehouses,
on which the will loan money
up to so per cent of it's value.
In this manner producers will
be able to hold their clip as
they see fit, and still realize
such cash on it as their demands
may require. The warehouse
charges will be nominal COM
pared with the benefits, and it
will enable the wool-growers to
secure the immense profits that
heretofore have gone to half a
dozen sets of middlemen who
have each secured a commission
on the sales of the western
clip.
Several other state associa-
tons besides our own have al
ready signified their intention
of joining the movement and in
a years time the wool-growers
of the western and northwest
ern states will be independent
of the men who heretofore have
scooped up millions of dollars
annually off their product"
Many markets have been pro-
posed for the primary wool mar
ket, but Omaha was selected be-
cause of it's direct railroad con-
raid connections with the states
which each year produce the
great wool clip of the country.
The scheme has not been alto
gether popular with eastern
commission men and buyers
who formerly have thrived on
the efforts of the wool produc-
ers, but it's success was assured
when the railroads acceded to
the storage-in-transit rate.
United States Senator War
rem of Wyoming, himself a big
wool producer, has lent his as
sistance to the movement, and
declares it should have been I'M
dertaken long ago. Senator
Warren believes that with the
success of western primary
wool markets will come mills
and manufactures to western
cities which have for a genera
fourished in the east. He ar
CUES that the finished product
can be shipped east cheaper
than west and that when east
ern manufacturers find they
are forced to pay the wool
growers the real worth of their
clip ii will send many wooden
mills to western states.
The Importance of the new
market can be realized better
by studying the statistics show
ing the amount and value of
; the annual wool clip of the
Trans-Missouri country, which
follows for 1907:

marketing of the wool-clip of
the twelve principal wool-grow-
ing states of the west and
northwest, which has been a
problem for so many years, has
been settled for all time by the
establishment in Omaha of
storage facilities and the fl
nancing of the movement of
15O,O00,OOO pounds of wool
which is annually shipped from
the Trans-Missouri country.
This relief to wool-growers has
been largely due to the rail-
roads making a storage-in-tran-
sitrate for wool passing through
Omaha.
In past years wool-growers
have been forced to accept the
terms of eastern buyers, which
in many cases made wool-grow-
ing far from profitable. This
condition of affairs has been
due largely to the conditions
which have surrounded the
movement and financing of the
clip. Eastern money has al
ways been called upon to care
for the wool product of the
west, clear to the Pacific coast.
This money has demanded
large returns, with the result
that wool-growers have been
forced in many instances to ac-
cept about so per cent of what
they should have had for their
product, while the financiers
have been able to reap a har'
vest in interest rates.
These conditions brought the
wool-growers to a realization Of
what they were up against anc
their state associations have
taken action to remove this
condition. J. A. Defelder, pres
ident of the Wyoming Wool
Growers association, has beer
one of the prime movers IL
planning this scheme, ant
through his efforts and those
of his associates, with the ait
of the Omaha Commercial club

Beveridge was presented with a beautiful
