OGDEN Utah, Jan 9.--(spccial Tele-
gram ,)-Omaha's perslstence and determ-
lned effort to establish wool market has
again won recognition in the resolutions
Of the Natural Wool Growers association
adopted at their final session yesterday.
I'VE heartily commend tho efforts OF the
commercial interests Of TIE city of Omaha
the resolutions read coupled with the
financial support OF the western wool
growers in establishing a wool warehouse
In that city recognizing that the movement
inaugurated at that place has been of
great advantage TO the wool industry of
the western states
1--WE appreciate the efforts OF all west
ern and Missouri river Giles to establish
Independent warehouses where the wool
growers can store their wool until such
time as It can be satisfactorily marketed.
We believe that the success heretofore
attained I'M the establishment Of indepen-
dent wool warehouses Will warrant the
building of cooperative warehouses al
various Atlantic seaboard cities in the very
near future"
The idea that Omahas activity ls detr-
mental to the success Of the Chicago
warehouse and that Omaha's success would
be at Chicago's expense has given way.
appreciate that the cooperation of the
Omaha business men is good thing for
their movement and coupled with Chicago
markets a strong combination In their in
terest. Stockholders in Chicago ware
houses are outspoken in their belief that
their efforts will not be entirely success
full until the proposition is wldened out
and not only Omaha, but possibly Salt
Lake, are conducting such plants.
Wool Producers Want Mills.
Those inclined to oppose Omaha express
themselves favorably to 1t II mills are
located there, losing sight OF the fact that
packing houses followed the establishment
of stock yards and that the only way to
I &c. lScatern woc}Fn mills IS to c1npentrats
and keep the wool In the west
The year 1910 is likely TO see more wool
stored than was stored In 1909. Very little
has SO far been contracted, less than 10
per cent, as compared with 40 to so per
cent last year at this time.
Several buyers are on the ground, but
are not buying much, he growers ap-
preciate what Omaha did in 1908 and realize
the value of Independent house ther. II
to their advantage to store they find the
facilities there, but II they want to sell
at some they can do so without penalty.
holders in the Chicago company paid $129-
GIL in forfeits for not sending their wool to
the national warehouse This was on the
basis of l cent a pound on the amount
guaranteed. The quantity Of wool actully
stored there was 6,5OOO6O pounds and 1t
came from the following states: Wyoming,
2.5OC,OOO Idaho and oregon, 2500,O0O; and

The impression made by the Omaha and

the following item from today's Ogden
Standard:
THAT Omaha's relation to the wool stor-
age movement and it's facilities for hand
