IS Tfesswidsas Efforts Beiaa: Broacht U Bear t Sake Show a Saec. Omaha, N.2b Aug. 28. Mr. C. C. Rose-water, president of tbe Omaha Land show, is touring Oregon and meeting representative citizens who are scouring the bills, vales and plains for exhibits to be assembled at tbe show here October 16 to 28. In Omaha tremendous efforts are also being directed toward the end of assuring the exhibitors here of an attendance worthy of the elegance of their displays. The Land show man agement Is striving to attract visitors to the number of 200,000, and they will come pouring in from Iowa, Missouri Nebraska, Kansas and South Dakota Realizing that the success of the Oc tober show will depend largely on the number of admissions, nothing will breaking attendance. , Immigration agents and develop ment commissioners who were hei last January declare that they had never attended a similar exhibit in which so much keen interest was shown by those who were actually seeking new agricultural and horti cultural fields. While other" shows of similar nature In larger cities have attracted more people, the treat per- i cet3ge of them were merely sight seers. Those -who come to the Omaha exhibits do so largely because thay are interested In the building of the west and desire to take part in the movement. This has been thoroughly proven In the number of land sales that were made through the medium of the January show. Millions of dol lars worth of land has changed fcandi since then. ' More Extensive Exhibit-. The coming show will be even more successful than the last. First of all, the exhibits will be far more ex tensive and varied, representing prac tically every phase of the life of the west from the cultivation of the soil to tte burrowing Into the hills for minerals. Not only will the display be attractlv?. but they will instruct. giving for the first time a reansuc representation of the wonderful op portunitles and the vast resources which are offered to all by thrt Rreat vest. Many of course will attend the show as an attraction and an exulbl t r.n, :iud these will be converted. ThoBfl who are more deeply concern ed in romesteads will be convinced. Practically all of the exhibitors at the January show are coming back with greater and more extrnstve dis plays tban ever. In addition to these the.-e will be many others 'who,' noting the success of their neighbors, will endeavor to reap a share of the har vest .hat awaits them. While there is still much choice space In the big coliseum where the show will be held about two-thirds of the total has al ready been reserved for exhibitors. Several new features will add to the attractiveness of the October show chiefly among the being the machln ery rtxhiblt. At the National Com ex position the Implement department was one of the most successful fea tures and drew the attendance of the wry best class of farmers. The fea ture was missed by them at the Janu ary show, and to meet this Interest, an implement department has been ar ranged for the October Bhow. All classes of farm machinery used In the west will "be displayed, Including machinery used for dry farming, ir rigation, dairying, horticulture and mining. Another of the strong features will be the western Development associa tlon. Practically ever sttae executive head in the territory embraced in the western development movement wll be present. Each comes to boost for his respective state. While they will not be bene for a formal meeting, the assemblage of great men of the 'west will be a big drawing card. Besides i the governors, there will be sonw of ' the world's j famous agricultural and I horticultural experts. Among these will be Prof. Buffum. fame. of winter emmer if3EVJ IIIILtE FDR mot iice YAEIA5CE 15 MOOTAISS' SAJTE PROMPTS CHAXGE. J. 5. Barry of Baker Tiges Sssrtioa for 5ew XeaataJa Xame. Due to the efforts of J. Neilson Barry the United StaUs geographic board will soon determine an official name for the range of mountains call ed the Cornucopia or Powder River range. The people of the Wallowa country call it the Granite mountains and so do many of the people of the Pine and Eagle valleys and it is be lieved that this ia the most appropri ate name. Following ia the letter from the sec retary of tbe geographic board to Mr. Barry. : ' Washington. August 21. 1911. Rev. J. Neilson Barry, , Rector St. Stephen's Pariah, Baker, Oregon. ' Dear Sir: ' T haw lw rfr fmm ih TT. S geological survey, your letter of Au gust 11, 1911. requesting the official name for the chain of mountains In Eastern Oregon, variously called "Eagte," "Cornucopia,", "Granite" and "Powder River mountains. No decision has ever been rendered by tbe United States geographic board in regard to the nam3 of these moun tains. The board Is not in session at the present time and will not bold any meetings until October, at which time I will submit your letter and advise you of the action taken. , . Very respectfully, C. S. SLOANE. S5C Relative to !3e a'oove. Dr. Br.rry writes to the Observer for suggestions from La Grande, and incidentally em bodies soma interesting history. He says: ." ' '..'1 ' , . . "I wish that you would have jour readers suggest the most appropriate name for the beautiful mountain rapgs between Baker and Wallowa of which Mount Fanny near Cove (named for Rov McDanlel'a mother) . is auch an Important feature of your landscnpe. The maps gira It 'aa the "Powder River mountains" although the Pow d;r river rises in the Elkhorn range while Catherine creek, the Miriam riv er, the Wallowa riv?r and the Inma ha river as well as Pine creek all rUe In the Eagle mountains. - - - The name "Eagle mountains", is the one moit used by tbi old timersIt omes from an eagle have bsen shot on Eagle creek In 1861 by Knight and Abbot who were driving cattle to the miners Thoae cattle supplied the miners at Auburn Abbott was the' first editor of the Bedrock Democrat- The term "Cornucopia ranpe" corees from the mining district in Pine creek The term "Granite mountains" Is the one used in Wallowa county and hear also by some In Baker county. The fact that the United " States geographic board ls going to pass on tie name which will be the on used on all future maps Is a matter of gen eral interest." , ';. ' i To Discuss Negro's Bights. Boston, Mass., Aug. 28. With an attendance, larger than any of Its pre decessors the fourth annual conven tion of the Katlonal Independent Po litical league opened its thres days' session here today. The league is an organization of colored men who be lieve they should use their votes for the general betterment of the race rather than to procure political of fices and that the American negro should not give his support to any nartlrular political Darty. The con vention will close with a large meet ing at Faneull hall on Wednesday eve ning: Dr. J. Milton Waldron, J. B, Clifford of Martinsburg, ,W. Va who ls president of the league and other noted leaders of the colors race will deliver addressee. It Is expected that th attitude of the convention will vit ally influence the political attitude of the negroes In th.e presidential cam paign of 191!. It Is pointed out as a significant fact that while the lower house of congress ls overwhelmingly democratic. It has, so far, shown no Inclination to attack the political right of the negro.
