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.

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

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

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

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
