EXHIBIT MAY HAVE PLACE
At LAND SHOW TO Be HELD At OMAHA

Canada during the past few years,
Omaha people regard their city the
gateway of the west and they are anX-
ious for the closer people of this ter
ritory. They have no interest in
Canada, as that territory is out of
their zone.
According to Mr.. Rosewater the
middle states do not actually lose
when the farmers of that section
move westward. They first sell their
ranches to people from farther east
and new people once move in to
take the places of those who so to-
wards the Pacific.
Following the address of Mr. Rose
water last evening it was decided
upon motion of Judge S. A. Lowell to
refer the matter of providing local
exhibit for the Omaha Land Show to
the publicity committee.
