occasion to call on Victor Rosewater at
The Bee editorial rooms. Accompanied by
his wife and son, william Shafroth. a
husky Colorado youth. he is en- route to
Spring Lake. N j., where he will attend
the congress Of governors.
The governor is taking a great deal OF
interest in the coming Omaha Land show,
at which his state will be elegantly repre-
scented. Toward making the Colorado ex-
hibition successful he has appointed IN ad-
visory board. which will look after all the
details of the states display.
Il think the Omaha Land show is a
great institution" says the governor. we
object to seeing 80 many people go to
other territories, and will do everything TO
prevent 1t. It Is asserted that 10000 home
seekers go to Canada every year, and fig
uring that each man Is worth $1,000 we
lose thereby $3.50, 100000 annually. 1 do not
fancy the idea, and I am pleased that the
Omaha Land show has been organized to
turn the tide of immigration"
