VIII be here Monday morning, for there is
a big day OF entertainment and a big
night at Ak-sar-Ben Den waiting for them

Now this same Al NJ. Adams had a good
reason for coming early. Ho had heard
that Omaha was bigger than II was some
years ago when he was in the city so he
thought he could not cover the town in a
single day. So he came In, went to the
eighteenth floor OF the woodmen OF the
World building and looked over the city.
He looked over the sea OF buildings of
which he could not see the end. Z. V.
Parrish Of the publicity bureau took him
to tho roof OF the sky scraper. and let
him look and look and look.
"And just to think" said Adams, and
Just to think that all this could build up
since was here"
Not Here since sixties.
Now the facts are Adams was once an
Omaha man, That was away back in
in Omaha.
''Oh, yes, / had heard that II had grown
TO be big city" he said but l never
dreamed 1t was like this This is a trip
worth while for me. And there is the old
Union Pacific bridge" he exclaimed, turn
ing his face to the southeast. 'I was here
long before that was built"
Adams then related that he was en-
ployed with the Union Pacific here in the
very early days. Also he related that he
worked for the company until the Central
Pacific company was united with It and
that he was one Of the 700 men discharged
as result OF the merger
Mr., Adams Is sightseeing around town
waiting for the rest, OF the editors TO get
In Monday morning, when the publicity
bureau is to entertain them all day at the
Field club, at luncheon at the Commercial
club, and in various other ways while the
Ak-sar- Ben organization Is waiting to In
ltiate the whole crowd Monday evening.
