OMAHA WOOL MEN VICTORS
Secure Endorsement from National
Wool Growers Convention.
ONE OF TWO STORAGE POINTS
Local Men Make Friends by Their
Fair and Manly Fight and Are
Congratulated by All at
the Convention.

PoCATELLo, Idaho, Jan. 16.-(Special
Telegram. THE dove OF peace has at last
found a resting place In the caps of those
contendlng for recognition as to storage
places before the meeting OF the National
Wool Growers association. The fight is
over, the battle won. Omaha has the recog-
milton of the wool growers of the nation
as one of the two designated points at
which they will contract and store their
WOOL Chicago of course being the other,
The adoption OF resolutions to that effect
at today's session is a great victory for
those who came out here and In the face
OF adverse conditions and in spite OF the
strongest and most bitter opposition sue
ceeded in securing a favorable resolution
and also recognition on the floor OF the
convention. The movement to establish
storage warehouses through which the
growers will be enabled to hold and dis
pose OF their clips to better advantage has
not been easy of accomplishment by the
committee promoting it. The lining up of
Omaha with Chicago, the popularity OF
Omaha with the sheep men and the
strength that combination can and will
excite when all are pulling together in
sures beyond all question of doubt the
success and permanency Of the movement.
Contrary to predictions In some quar-
ters Omaha was extended every courtesy
at the Pocatello meeting and Harry c.
Bronze OF that city was heard this morn
ing on what Omaha had done, Is doing
and can do for the wool men, citing the
establishment and development Of the
Omaha live stock and grain markets as
criteria Of what can be expected Of the
Omaha wool market He dispeIled the i'm
preston that Omaha's activity was in any
way inirnical TO or directed against the
Chicago warehouse.
Text of Resolution.
It is realized by the growers that there
is wool enough for both and from now
on, while Chicago is to be the central mar
ket, Omaha is recognized and considered
essential as an auxiliary, wherein more
wool will be stored than at Chicago or
any other point. The full resolutions of
the association on the wool storage ques-
ton are expressed in the following lam
guage:
Resolved That we endorse and recon-
mend for your favorable consideration the
central wool market now being estab-
lished in the city OF Chicago in accord
ance with the plans submitted by your
committee and appeal to wool growers at
large to give this movement their earnest
and energetic consideration and substantial
financial support.

is due for all that has been done for pro-
vision of wool markets and storage plants

tabhshing that enterprise and that we fur-
ther recommend to the stockholders and
board OF directors of the National Wool

plan OF taking over OF the Omaha wool and
storage companies as an auxiliary TO the
central warehouse OF Chicago and II prac-
ticable OF similar extensions of the busi-
ness from time to time at other locations

ested wool growers we recommend THAI the
