Purpose OF AssOcIatiOn.
The Development association stands FOR
the conservation OF the resources Of the
west by their utilization. The delegates TO
the first meeting will represent all of the
western states i'm the territory covered by
the Land Show. Delegates have been
named by the governors OF the seveTol
states. 1t is expected that more than one
hundred men will gather TO take council
and make plans for the furtherance OF the
ideas FOR which the Land Show stands.
The Western Development association
bids fair to become most important fac.
tor among the forces which shape the
destiny of the great territory lying to the
west OF the Missouri river. The popula-
tion of the vast areas, now In idle fruit
lessness, with an industrious agricultural
people is the mission of the Omaha Land
show Just how successful that movement
may be ultimately depends, in large meas
ure the exponents OF the movement say,
or the attitude assumed by the Western
Development association. While local
problems differ. the one general aim OF
increase Of production and utilization OF
wealth now untouched Is a common inter
est with the states to be represented at
the Land Show and the at the meetings
! of the Development association.
