so. OMAHA men
COMPLETE LONG
BOOSTER TRIP
delegation Which Represents
Packers and Stock Exchange
Find Conditions Good in Me-
braska, Idaho and Utah.

Feeling that they had fully ac-
complished what they set out to do,
30 Omaha live stock commission
men. representatives of the packing
interests. bank and stock yards, re-
turned to Omaha yesterday via the
Union Pacific after being gone for
about 20 days.
Farmers and live stock producers
are enjoying period OF unprece-
denied prosperity and seem to be
completely satisfied with existing
conditions, according to the reports
OF the returned group of boosters.
Optimism prevails in all sections of
the west and feeling of co-opera
ton seems to have resulted from the
common sacrifice and sharing of the
burdens imposed by the war.
Plenty Of Cattle.
There are more and better condi-
toned cattle in the western states
at the present time than at any pre-
vious time in the history Of this
country. according to c. A. Smith,
traffic manager of the Union Stock
yards. A mild winter and suffi-
Gent amount of feed has brought
about this condition, he stated.
The. delegation was heartily well
coined at every point in its itinerary,
Various commercial organizations
and business men arranged special
programs for the delegates. At Og-
den, Utah, a special athletic carnival
was held for the Omaha boosters.
The method by which Ogden OBJ
tains its water supply was shown to
the travellers. Forty-seven artesian
wells supply Ogden with her water.
From Dayton, Ida, to Ogden,
Utah, the trip was made by automo-
bile. The beauty of the country in
that section was in itself worth the
trip, said many of the men.
utah's Cache valley was also Wis
tied.
Attend Conventions.
More than l6 towns were visited
BY the. members of the delegation. |
The itinerary had been so arranged |
that the delegation was enabled to |
attend many of the live stock pro-
ducers' conventions in progress at
the various points. Mr.. Smith, who
headed the delegation; Bruce Nc
Cnlloch, editor of the Stockman's
Journal, and R. d. McManus, adver-
Using manager of the Armour Pack
ing company, addressed many of
these gatherings
A snow storm stalled the delega-
ton for So hours at Hay Springs,
Neb., before the trip was we'll un-
der way, but this only served to
stimulate the spirits of the men. Be-
fore the trip had been completed
live stock producers, farmers and
others had been convinced that in
getting together and cooperating
lay the welfare of all connectedJ
with the meat industry. 1t would
lot be profitable for either the com
mission man, packer or business
nan to cheat the farmer, it was
'ointcd out by the delegates, since
he whole future of the industry IS
Ultimately dependent upon the pro-
ucer. Neither is it to the farmers
iterest to demand cut-throat prices ,
or his products because of the pos
ible reaction of the consumer.

Munitions Fund.

New York, Nov. 22.-Activities of
New York and federal authorities to

extremists.
The men whose death was sought,
the police said, are Sergeant James j.
