Other artklei In this imue of The

garding live stock exchanges in gen

w ll as to the exchanges at other
markets, so that much that would

tiiiiy be found elsewhere in this pa
per. Much of the work done in the in
terests of their customers, the ship
pers, by the live stock commission
men, thru their exchange, at any
market, is duplicated by the live
stock exchanges at other markets;
and yet each exchunge has its own
problem to work out, some of them
peculiar to individual circumstances
or conditions.
m-MrviiiK of Spet lal Mention
There are some things that have
been done by the South Omaha Live
Stock Exchange that are deserving of
special mention.
When the associations represent
ing the shippers of the country made
a light against the proposed advance
in live stock freight rates in western
territory, the South Omaha Live
Stock Kxchange took a prominent
part In the work.
The South Omaha Exchange took
up the matter of charges for clean
ing and disinfecting cars and to date
have secured for shippers to Omaha
market approximately $3,000 which
had been erroneously collected from
them.
They have been represented In
numerous conferences on the live
stock contract matter.
They have appeared before the
State Hallway Commission on num
erous occasions seeking beneficial
changes in rules and regulations con
cerning Nebraska traffic.
They have what we believe is a
decidedly Improved method of hand
ling the valuation proposition in Ne
braska, a shipper being able to de
clare when he ships ft load of live
stock In the state the averace esti
mated value of his carload of stock.
This will be a considerable savin to
the shipper over the Interstate meth
od of having to declare the highest
valuation in the load.
Their quarantine committee haf
been industrious in working with the
State Live Stock Sanitary Bonrd to
the end that thp most advantageous
sanitary laws may be enacted.
It is the intention of the Kxchnnce
to at all times, and in all ways, work
In the Interest of the shipper to the
end that as he prospers we will he
benefitted.
It la no flattery to say that the
South Omaha Live Stock F.xchanpe
has for its secretary and trnlISc man
ager one of the most competent men
to be found anywhere fof the work
to be done. In order to secure hi?
services It Is necessary for the Kx
change to pay one of the Inchest, if
not the highest, salary paid to any
one holding such n position; but the
members are willing and glad to
stand the necessary expense in order
to secure his valuable services for
the stockmen who ship to that market.

There are plenty of illustrations to
prove The Nebraska Stockman's
claim that the best feeder cattle to
be found anywhere as good as the
best, to say the least are raised in
the ranch country of western Nebras
ka. It is no uncommon thing for
branded cattle from this part of the
state after being put in the feed lots
farther east a few months, to bring
the highest price paid for fat cattle
at the live stock markets. These in
stances are too numerous to relate
