Basi. ON which to work.


THAT gave us a basis to work on, and
Chicago subscribed $4,000 Of the 100000
capital stock. The Chicago warehouse has
the recognition of the National Wool
Growers association and the same associ-
alton recognized the possibilities and prob
able necessity Of Omaha building a ware
house. The corporation which IL to build
the warehouse in Chicago is separate and
distinct from the National Wool Growers
association, just the same as a warehouse
must be which is erected in Omaha. Just
the same as the terminal elevators In Chi
cago and Omaha are separate from the
Western Grain Dealers association or the
National Corn Growers association"
do you think Omaha will become a wool
market?"
II certainly do, II the storage system is
successful"
"Wil it bring factories nearer the source
OF production?"
II think the movement will have a ten
dency to bring factories west, to Omaha as
we'll as other western cities."
What is the endorsement OF the National
Wool Growers association WORTH"
well, we organized the Chicago ware
house company under It's wings and it
means a good bit. Omaha was fortunate
in receiving 1t at the last meeting"
He Regrets the report,
Mr.. Cosgriff said he regretted that some
had given the impression that Omaha was
to have a warehouse erected out Of the
funds subscribed for the warehouse at Chi
cago or by the National Wool Growers as
ISOLATION, and that IL such a warehouse was
erected 1t would be on the initiative OF
Omaha business men. the same as the
Chicago warehouse was on the Initiative
OF the Chicago Commercial association.
Commissioner j. M. Guild OF the Com
mercial club takes practically the same
view as Mr.. Cosgriff. Mr.. Guild said;
"our newly appointed committee On the
wool market will take the matter up and
doubtless a stock company will be
organized. The business men composing
this club recognize the value of the endorse
ment and recognition given this city by
resolutions at the recent meeting and We
are certain of securing the wool when We
open the warehouses, to the growers of the
west"

Man who Baked Omaha.

MHh mo hAAAGu OEnahas
Mr.. Cosgriff is the man who as a member
OF the committee of the National Wool
Growers association to investigate and
report on the most logical point at which
to locate a warehouse. which should have
the endorsement of the association, stood
resolutely by Chicago, refusing to consider
Omaha as In any way capable of handling
the proposition.
Asked for a reason why he favored Chi
cago in preference to Omaha, Mr.. Cosgriff
said:
II have nothing against Omaha. and
when the time comes, will do everything
l can to build up a wool market at Omaha
IL It becomes necessary to have additional
warehouses, which 1t seems at present will
be necessary. Personally it would be more
convenient for me to have the warehouses
by the great financial backing of the city
and the manufacturers of clothing. l be-
lieve I may say the clothing manufacturer
were the principal attraction. There great
quantities of wooden cloth are made into
mems clothing and ready-to-wear women's
garments. We started this movement
without any fund and against about
200 paid knockers, the agents of the eastern
commission houses. The Chicago manu-
facturers of wooden clothing stood by us
and practically said they would stay even
to the extent Of buying cloth elsewhere
II the eastern manufacturers ignored the
Chicago warehouse and the western storage
movement

among the markets OF the United States"
said Mr.. Cosgrlff.
ITO become a wool market Omaha must
do the same thing which the business men
did so admirably when the grain market
was organized-they must get behind II.
There is absolutely no possibility OF the
corporation now organized to build and op-
crate a wool warehouse in Chicago, spend
ing one cent of its 800, 900 capitalization to
build or take over a plant for the storage
OF wool In Omaha.
Chicago subscribed $4,000 Of the stock,
the wool men of Wyoming, Idaho. Utah
and other western states $4,000. The
growers who agreed to send wool to the
warehouse subscribed on the basis OF one
pound for every cent subscribed. That
means we have practically pledged 100000
pounds of wool for next year"

Flying Ship Law.
Observation-Disclosures

THE Law of Aerial Navigation, y
brief article by Lyttleton Fox in The
North American Review, undertakes
to anticipate the possibilities of legal
complications ensuing from the traf-
fic in the newly acquired domain
the air. The Government, according
to Mr.. Fox, will be compelled to con-
denim the air above a certain height
as a public highway. He adds
THE project of condemning the
air, while in sense novel, would be
perfectly feasible from a legal stand
point. There is apparently no ques-
ton as to the power to establish such
highway. Moreover, it would pos
sess the rare virtue of involving little
or no expense. Granting that the air
stratum condemned should be at such
a helgnt as not to interfere with the
most ambitious building operations.
six cents would seem to be full re-
Enumeration for the property taken
from any individual owner for public
purposes. The simple European ex-
pedient OF declaring the air to be a
highway, by statute, without exercise
OF eminent domain, would hardly
seem practicable in this country. as
constituting at taking of property
without due compensation. unless the
courts hold. as suggested, that the
air Is already public highway above
the height Of effective possession"

Busy U. S. Courts.

"The United tSates Courts" by
Grin Judson Field, Chief Clerk Of the
Department of Justice in Washing
ton, d. c., is the title of a striking
article in The North American Re-
view. showing the immense amount
of business transacted by the United
States courts. He begins:
THAT rapidly increasing amount
OF litigation of national importance
Is becoming the subject-matter of
suits in the Federal courts; that earn
est and successful efforts are being
made to enforce our national laws,
particularly those of recent enact
ment, such as the Pure Food and
Drugs Act, the Safety Appliance Act,
the Antitrust and Interstate Com
merce Laws; and that the Govern
ment is watchful of the commercial
interests of its citizens through the
operations of the Federal Bankruptcy
law of 1898 is shown by recent Of
fetal statistics, which disclose that.
during the year ended June 80, 1908,
there were 2S,250 suits and prosecu-
lions commenced in the United States
courts and 1888 petitions in bank
ruptcy filed. The aggregate judg-
ments obtained and fines imposed
to $55,17S.016. In bank
ruptcy cases the total liabilities were
$122,621.509, while the assets real
tied were only s23,066,0S5."

The Tennis Champion Say
MAY SUTTON
Tells American Girls How To BE
Healthy and Graceful.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal
Don't drink coffee.
Don't drink tea.
Don't exercise too much.
These three don'ts constitute the
advice of Miss May Sutton. champion
woman tennis player of the world, tc
girls who would go in seriously and
systematically for athletics.
Eat what you want.
Take long walks.
Get all the fresh air you can.
These are the three rules Miss SUIT
ton lays down for girls who desire
merely to be strong and healthy.
The little champion recently ap-
peared on courts in San Francisco In
series Of exhibition matches. 1t
had been reported that she was not in
the best of health, but she gave no in
dication Of having gone back" play
ing her strong game that made her
worlds champion, with her same old
dash and accuracy.
At the close Of the series Miss SUIT
ton was asked to tell what system Of
training she had found most effectiye
and what, in her opinion, is the best
form OF exercise and diet for the av-
erage American girl. In part she said:
while I advocate hearty
eating, I cannot say too much
against the use of tea or coffee.
They are nerve destroyers and
no one can be healthy who
persists in their use.
TOO much exercise is as bad as too
little. Walking is the best exercise
there Is. Early each morning. after
drinking a glass of hot water, dressed
in loose clothing, l walk for nearly
an hour.
athletics should receive some at
tention from every girl. If her time
precludes the playing of tennis or golf
she should take long walks in the
open air. both before the morning
and evening meal, throwing the head
and shoulders back and taking long,
deep draughts of that which money
cannot buy but is in reach of the poor
as we'll as the rich-pure air.
Pure air and a moderate amount
of exercise l cannot too strongly i'm
press upon girls as being the only Sc
cret of health and grace. Medicine
for that out-of-sorts feeling may cause
girls to imagine they feel all right. |
but what they really need is more
fresh air and not quite so much sit
ting around the house in tight-ftting
clothes as a great many Of them do"

clans to be perfect athlete. Tennis /

years the British naval authorities de
cided to dispense the birds in the ma
val lofts at Portsmouth, Sheerness and
Plymouth. Some remarkable and in
teresting records were made by these
birds when bringing messages from
ships OF the navy to their lofts, but il
Is assumed that the Marconi system
of telegraphy has now been brought
to such state of perfection that
aerial messengers for purposes Of
warfare will no longer be required.
During the Franco-German War,
when Paris was invested by the enc
my, it was only by means of pigeons
that for very long period that citi-
zens of Paris obtained any informa-
ton from the outside world, says Tit
Bits. Balloons were dispatched from
Paris carrying bundles of letters and
homing pigeons belonging to few in
dividuals, residents of Paris. After
time successful post was organized
from Tours, outside the German lines.
This pigeon post was recognized by
the English authorities, and letters at
cost Of half a franc a word were
sent from Tours into Paris with as
great degree of raDidity as The
pigeons could be sent out by balloon
and conveyed from the places where
they descended into Tours.
The only other instance in which
pigeons have been Of value in connec-
ton with war purposes was in the
Anglo-Boer War of 1899. During the
period that General White was sur
rounded in Ladysmith all means of
pigeons, belonging to English fan
ciers, that had been taken into Lady
smith before the siege proved of in
estimabie value in conveying mes
sages to Durham, where their lofts !
were situated. Not only were mes
sages conveyed, but plans of the forti-
fications that had been built up as !
we'll, and even though the Marconi !
system of telegraphy may be Of serv-
ice for purposes of communication.
there will always be a possibility Of |
utilizing pigeons for the purpose OF
sending plans and sketches over the !
heads of an enemy besieging a town.
1t is surprising with what complete
ness fanciers in South Africa have
built up pigeon service by establish
ing lofts in practically every one Of
the mining districts since the war. At
johannesburg there is Furnishing
society, l!..,-|E:: VIC ct Kimberley and
most other towns.
An erroneous idea exists among
many people that pigeons can be sent
with the messages to given posts A

flying a journey of 500 to GOO miles
with any reliability they must be
