in Alaska, was impressed with the
fact that the natives in arctic and
subarctic Alaska were rapidly losing
their sources of food supply.
Each year the whales were going
farther and farther north, beyond
the reach of the natives who had no
steamships in which to pursue them;
the walrus, which formerly had been
seen in herds of thousands, were
disappearing; the seals were becom-
ing exterminated, and i'll winter the
Eskimo had to tramp Is to 20 miles
out on the ice before he could catch
one. The modern hunter, with his
steam launches and rapid fire guns.
had found the whales, walrus and
seals such easy prey that he was
ruthlessly destroying them. Also
the wild caribou, that the native had
easily captured before, had been
frightened away and was rarely seen.
Not only was the native losing
his food, but what in an arctic eli
mate is no less important, his cloth

ing as we'll. The whalebone, the
ivory tusks of the walrus. the seal
skin and the oil had given him
means of barter with the Siberian
traders across the strait. from whom
he obtained reindeer skins to keep
him warm in winter.
DIR. Jackson saw that unless
something was done at once, the
United States would have to choose
between feeding the 10000 and more
natives or letting them starve to
death.
The same moss which covered
so many thousands of miles of the
plains of arctic Siberia was seen
everywhere in Alaska. The tame
reindeer was practically the same
animal as the wild caribou of Alaska,
changed by being domesticated for
centuries.
"On his return to the United
States in 1891, DR.. Jackson asked
congress for an appropriation to
provide the money for importing a

| feet harmony to make this, their
home city, the best in the world.
Right here, however, it would not
be out of place to state that Omaha
is one of the most healthful cities
of the Union, its death rate being
about the lowest of any.
But getting back to data and fig
ures. There is nothing that is 60
ing to retard the growth of Omaha,
is the opinion of men who have
watched the trend of business. Mid
way between the oceans and in the
center of the richest agricultural
country in the world, the prediction
is freely made that within 10 years
the city will have a population of
100000 and perhaps half as many
more.
Growth is Astonishing
Even during the readjustment
period following the close of the war
with Germany, instead of standing
still, Omaha is forging ahead and
growing at rate that is astonish-
liiS 10 tlOSe WHO nave watched us
progress. A recent survey made by
the publicity and industrial depart
ments OF the Chamber of Commerce
develops the fact that since Janua, y
| of the present year 5l2 business
houses and manufacturing establish
ments have located here, employing
more than 1000 persons and bringing
in an excess of 100000 capital.
But something relative to Omaha
The bank clearings are always re-
garded as the business pulse of
city. Their volume gives a cor
rect diagnosis of the financial con-
dition and standing, especially when
it comes to figuring trade. At this
time, among the cities of the United
States, Omaha occupies 18th place,
the clearings for last year having
been in the aggregate, $2,Sl9,665975,
with bank deposits in excess of $145,-
100000.
Factory Output Is Huge.
Last year the factory output of
Omaha was $427,576,16l, an increase
of almost $l000,000 over the pre-

BY w. D. PERCIVAL

Sixty years ago Omaha was one
OF the way-stations on the Overland
trail to the gold fields OF California.
1t was squalid little town on the
western edge of civilization. Fifty
years ago Omaha was still in its
swaddlng clothes. but its residents
had hardened to the whistle of the
locomotive and the hum of industry
Still it was little more than village
1t was about half century ago,
within the lifetime of many of the
older residents of Omaha, that the
idea became apparent that the city
was destined to become one of the
great commercial and industrial CEN
tiers of the United States. With this
idea uppermost in their minds, far
seeing men commenced to build for
the future. Still, few of them real
lied what lay in store for Omaha,
or that within so years the name
of the city would be hearlded far
and wide, becoming a household
word, not only in this country, but
the world over.
Optimists Saw Great Future.
Thirty years ago Omaha had
grown to be fairly good business
town, but even then, only the most
optimistic of the optimists predict
ed that it would within little more
than decade become a young in
dustrial and commercial giant, out
stripping its competitors in the race
for business supremacy.
Ten years ago Omaha set new
pace and one that since has been
hard to follow. Today it is looked
upon, not only at home, but abroad
rs the city of the future. And we'll
it may be regarded as such, for of
all the cities of the United States.
it has become Saith in population and
18th in business. By reason of its
great strides it has come to be rec
ognized as the Gate of the West"
from which radiate in as many d.
rections nine trunk lines of railroad
and % branch lines not to mention
IL auto truck lines connecting up
with nearly 100 cities and towns
thus making it a business center
for a population that runs into the
millions.
Attracted Rcd-Blooded Men.
Omaha has never laid any claims
to being a health resort and conse-
Quently has never attempted to
gather within its confines the in
valids of other localities. Instead, it
has sought and attracted the atten-
ton of red-blooded men, full of
life, vigor and energy, and in its
search it has been successful, for
it has brought here as residents
something more than 100000 men |
and women who are working in per-

vious year. And as to the factories
nearly every line in manufacturing
is represented, but there is room for
more.
Omaha is the logical distributing
point and the market town for more
than 100000 of people. Power is
cheap, railroad facilities for distrib-
uting are excellent, and the raw
material can be purchased here at
as low process as at most manufacture
ing centers.
The jobbing trade is another fac
tor that has had much to do with
Omaha's solid and substantial
growth during the last few years.
Last year this trade aggregated
$261 $50, 940, an increase of close to
$50,000,0O0 over the preceding year
These figures do not include the
business of the packing houses that
sold and distributed $2SS,820,787
worth of their products during the
year, or nearly $l00,000,00O more
than during the previous year.
Last year Omaha creameries gath
cred cream from Nebraska, Iowa,
Kansas, South Dakota and Colorado
and manufacture butter of the
value of $20,3S7,325. And in this
connection, it is we'll to note that
Omaha is the largest butter manu-
featuring point in the world. Omaha
made butter has worldwide repu-
tation. 1t is found on the table OF
practically every family in the Unit
ed States and is served to the kings
and queens of Europe, as we'll as to
the common people.
Activity in Real Estate
There was some activity in real
estate last year, the sales of Omaha
property having reached total of
$lo,293,b9S, a figure that has been
exceeded during 1919, though less
than sly months have passed
AS live stock market, Omaha
holds second place, the receipts last
year having been: Cattle, 1,993,356:
hogs, 3,429,533; sheep, 3.5S5,696.
Although Omaha did not become
d grain market until 1904, it has

among the first. AS a matter of

fact, it is the second largest primary
grain market in the world, being
only exceeded by Minneapolis. Last
year dealers here, through Omaha
elevators handled a total of 81 $685.
800 bushels, divided as follows:
Wheat, 100000; corn, 45,6S8, 200;
oats, 23,572,00O; rye, 100000; bar
ley, 100000 bushels.
Aggregate 73,sl7,soo Bushels.
During the year the shipments ag-
gregated 76,3l7, 500 bushels, the hold
over having been milled at home,
or fed to live stock.
Of course on account Of the war.
1919 was an off year in building OPP
Grafton, yet Notwithstanding an
even 1000 buildings were erected at
cost of $3,S21,000. So far this
year the new buildings erected and
in course of construction outnum-
Der the total of last year.
With the war over, so to speak.
Omaha has girded up its loins, spit
on its hands and is prepared to 60
to work, bending every energy to
win the goal of being the leading
city between Chicago and the Pa
cifc coast and between the Canadian
border and the Gull of Mexico.
During the war period Omaha did
IFS bit and its accomplishments were
the envy, not only of cities of its
class, but of those two and three
times as large.
Omaha's War Record.
During the war, to the different
and numerous war activities, the
quota of Omaha, in the aggregate,
was $27,830,200, but it went over the
top and subscribed $47, 607 ,998-an
oversubscription of Il per cent.
In Red Cross memberships and
war savings stamp sales, Omaha led
all cities in the United States. 1t
was the first city to go over the
top in the war savings stamp CAM
oaign. 1t was the first city in the
United States to report 100 per
cent on food administration pledges.

In fact, Omaha goes over the top
in about everything that it under
takes. Its citizenship is made up
of the best, and the people within
its confines, the majority of whom
are home owners, arc constantly
working for everything that is for
the uplift and best interests of the

WOMEN BACKING THE SOLDIER
ROYS

When the history of the war has
been written, the work done by the
women at home will impress itself
upon this nation as few even now
realize. Literally, millions of women
left their homes and took up war
activities into which women had
eve before been called, and many
more at home devoted long hours at
work in knitting and preparing sur
gical dressings for the boys ''over
there" Some may have worked at
the expense of health and are now
suffering from headaches, backache,
dragging-down pains or some de-
rangement. 1t should be remember
ed that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound for more than forty years
has been restoring such women to
health and strength, and is now rec
ognized as a standard remedy.
