Dates Most Convenient.
/ The necessity for well arranged tours OF
exhibits and exhibitors was made manifest
at the recent Omaha Land show Coming.
as 1t did in md-winter. exhibitors sent dis
plays back to their native places or to
storage, the result being loss of time and
money
The change Of dates to fail for the
Omaha Land show not only permits con
nected show action, but enables the ex-
hibitors to come from the western com
munities and make q route Of travel that
divests It Of doubling back The dates on
this tour would be as follows Omaha Land
show. which quite properly leads off and
opens the big exhibition season. but comes

third season comes from November IS to
December 9, giving ample time to come
from the New York or Pitsburg land shows
TO the closing event in the city by the
lakes
With the modern ideas Of carrying
grains and grasses in folding cases all
ready to open out and place on exhibition
and with the newly designed cases for
carrying glass jars Of fruits vegetables,
etc, 1t is practical and feasible to in
stall an exhibit II the booth has been or
dered and built ahead Of the opening
day, to move from one show to another
in two to three days and be in fl.le shape
for public inspection.
Close to Other Dates.

HOmesteHders Are Moving.
More homesteaders will invade the
west during the coming season than dur |
ing any like period Of colonization" saws |
George L. McDonough, colonization agent |
OF the Union Pacific, "and the great in
crease in this class Of transportation comes |
as direct result of the Omaha Land |
show Later in the month a special rate |
to homeseekers will be offered, and al |
ready we have a surprisingly large number
OF inquiries"
On March 10 homeseekers from Missouri |
Illinois and Minnesota will mobilize here
for an expedition into the far west There
will be special train out of st Paul, and
other homeseekers will come on the regu-
lar trains from Chicago, St Louis and
other points east of here
A special train will be made up in
Omaha early in the morning OF the NTH
ana all the passengers who have been
modified here will board It for Sacra-
mento, Cal. near which city they will go
over the Rancho Del Paso, which was so
effectively advertised at the Lard show
by the Union Pacific
I'VE have had an unusually large num-
Der OF inquiries concerning the spring col
onist fares to the west, which take effect
March 10 and terminate April 10, and in a
number Of instances have traced these in
quiries to interest stimulated by the Omaha
Land show" said Gerrit Fort, passenger
traffic manager of the Union Pacific.
Busy in the Northwest.
Reports from the northwest show that
the Hill lines are handling an ever in
cTeasing number Of settlers bound for the
west and the Land show territory, over
both the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern.
Western Pacific territory too is receiving
the benefit Of advertising through the land
show. Much OF the Western Pacific ter
ritory is suitable for fruit raising.
The Land show management is urging
early preparation of the material for ex-
hibits. Specimens gathered in the early
part of the season will be thus available
for display at county fairs and similar
