Quotntlonn Forgotten Iiong Knotijh to KxohniiKO Courtesies nnd Sample Some of Mfo'H Good 'I ho Most fittingly did Omaha celebrate yostor- terday the inauguration of an important fea ture of her commercial llfo the opening of the grain and produce exchange. After woolt.s of careful preparation the mo mentous event passed off without un uuploas- nut hitch to mar the success of en occasion that was full of brilliant promise for the future of thu exchange. Nearly three hundrod.of the loading grain dealers and olorntor men of the state were present to participate lu the exercises , tes tifying their appreciation of the importance of the event , which It Is hoped will bo but the beginning of a now order of things that vrlll beef lucstlinablo bonollt to the agricul tural I n to rests of this great commonwealth. Tbo extension of acquulutuuco among the praln nnd elevator mon was but ouo of the results attendant on brinclng of so many of thorn together , as they were given a compre hensive Idea of the alms and objects of the now organization. A most fitting close to so memorable a day was the elaborate banquet tendered the vlslt- ' -Vug and local grain men In the evening at the Paxton. hotel by the Omuha board of trade nnd thu South Omaha llvo stock exchange. It was aftoV 9 o'clock when Secretary Kason of the board of trade demanded a mo ment's attention at thn bauds of the crowd of Jovial gentlemen who thronged the exchange rooms , and announced nn adjournment to the banquet hall. The Musical Union baud beaded the long line that marched down the ildownlk two abreast to the Paxton , where In the spacious dining hall were arranged the long rows of banquet tables. At the center of the head table sat Mr. Euclid Martin , president of the board of trade and toostmostor ol the ovunlug , aud on either side were seated tbo speakers of the evening , whllo down the llvo tables extend ing the full length of the ball wuro ttio 300 guests of the occason. The great room would not accommodate all , and tables were also arranged in the ordinary , ndjoinlug the dinIng - Ing hall proper. In the Itaiuiiict Hall. Bach seat was numbered , nnd the guests had tickets corresponding , so that there was as llttlo confusion in seating thorn as could well hnvo ooen expected. It was 10 o'clock. however , when every man was in his place , and the dlscimion of the lengthy menu was Dogun. The scone was Indeed a pleasing one. The tables were prettily garnished with cut ( low ers , whllo through the open windows banks of-ferns and potted plants were to bo scon In the rotunda , where was stationed the orches tra , whoso Inspiring strains lout additional charm. The menu was a lengthy one , but from the Initial lobster in thu * hell aud green turtle soup to the cafe noir nnd cigars the hungry throng kept their seaU with commendable patlonco , and the appetites they displayed were some thing appalling. Notwithstanding the fact that It was necessary at the last moment to order fifty additional platos. there was enough and to spare , and at 11 : l0 ! the crackIng - Ing nnd .snapping of the matches indicated that the post-prandial exercises were in order. Tonstmnstor Martin rapped the hilarious crowd to order and announced as the first toast of the evening "Nobrnsun , " which was responded to by Mr. O. M. Hitchcock. Tlio peauor Ukoaed the state with its 50,000,000 acres to the fabled garden of Eden. Within the past forty years 1,000,000 pco- plo have made their homes horo. In all tno history of civilization It is hard to llnd a parallel to this wonderful development. Wo are in tbo midst of n harvest that amounts to two years within the period of ono. Our state Is cridironcd by 5,000 miles of railway. Wo have cities and villages ns progressive" the west has produced , but wo roilcct mid realize that thu beginning Is but now being made. The Imagination cannot bo carried to what thii wonderful empire will become dur ing the lifetime of many now present. llnllrondn nnd the Grain Itlcii. " Mr. Martin then snld that the board had hoped to hear from representative citizens of the great states of Iowa , Missouri , Minnesota seta , Illinois and Kansas , but the speakers haa not arrived. But there were several members of the state board of transportation present and all the gentlemen present would doubtless be glad to hoar from thorn. Hon. Thomas Bonton. ouo of the members of the state board of transportation , was called for. Mr. Benton said that ho had been In Nebraska twonty-throo years. .Ho was proud of the fact that ho was a citizen of Ne braska , and ho believed that Omaha had taken the right step at the rlgbt time. Ho would bo pleased however , instead of making a speech to present to the gentlemen present an orator tor who could speak for the board of trans portation , In the person of Mr. George H. Hastings. Hon. George H. Hastlnirs , attorney general of the .stato , was greeted witli great applnuso ns ho arose. Ho said that Mr. Bouiou ha d taken him by surprise. "Jf I had known half an hour earlier , " said Mr. Hastings , "that I would bo called upon to speak I would have boon loaded for boar. [ Great applauso.J But I will glvo you the best I havo. As ono of the of llcors 'of the state , I wish to say that wo Intend to assist in this good work by carrying out the terms nnd pocltlcntlons of the warehouse law to the very bc tof our ability. " [ Applauso.1 Mr. Hastings said ho hoped to see a solid nnd prosperous open board of trade main tained iu Omaha , and ho believed the right ort of mon were at the head of tbo Institu tion. tion.President President Martin thou called upon Score- tsry Nason to read several letters of regret from prominent gentlemen who had bocn lu- Vlted , but who could not attend. Congratulatory und encouraging loiters from the following gcutlomen were road , nnd were received with marked at tention nud were followed by applause : George F.

Allen , president ot the board of tradn of Kansas City , nud Governor John M. Thayjr , George F. Stone , in his telegram said that ho was sorry tint ho could not bo present upon such an auspicious oc casion. Ho saw no reason why Omuha should not mnko a succcs of her now board , for the couutrv tributary to it "holds in IU right hand length of days nnd in her left band riches nnd honor. " Hon. James E , Boyd expressed his regrets , and omphaslrod the fact that Omaha was ripe for such mi enterprise ns the board of trade und cautioning the board to bo strictly businesslike - like and hlpbmludod in its dealings and transactions. Mayor C Itcinnrked. Mayor Gushing was then Introduced and responded to the toast , ' 'Omaha. " The mayor said he was n good deal llko the boy who said ho liked ginger bread , but ho cot very little of It. Ho hoped that the pres ent movement would would bo ono that all good business mon could Indorse. Omaha should take her place by the side of other great cities and ho would advise the following of the very soundest and safest bushier * prin ciples , not only in the bourd of trade , but In all the enterprises of the city. Ho hoped that the acquaintances that the mooting make would result In good to all the gentle men present. Thu mayor thou tendered the freedom of the city to nil the II u cits present nud * aid that If any of them did not care to roam over the whole city , they might simply name njr particular ward that pleased them unit they would bo assigned to tlio pnrt pf the cltv th.it sti-uck tlioir ospoclnl fancy. The mayor's remarks were greeted by ap- plnuxo. lion. John Li. WabttarwiM then Introduced to respond to the toast "Omalm Board of Trailo M nn Open Hoard.

These tttaton ot Nebraska. Iowa , Illinois , KansiiB. Missouri and Minnesota represent more than one-fourth of all the irraln area lu the United btatos , and more than one-fourth of the annual product. They nro the only states that have any material surplus of corn. Here , near the geographical center of this region should bo established an open market. The last legis lature enacted an adequate warehouse law , which , If wisely administered , will save mil lions of money to the farmers of our state , hot us build our own warehouses and grain elevators and establish our own murket , Lot us take the llrst step to become Independent of Chicago , Dnluth and St. Louis and enter Into such competition as shall nmku them respect us as a worthy rival. Then can Omaha shin directly to the states and nations of the world the product of NoUr.iska , Ceres , the goddess of grain and harvests among the Qrooks and Romans , eonforiud presents mid blessings on all who treated her Kindly. At Klousls she commanded the peo- plu to build her an altar and a temple , and there she took up her abode , and she caused the earth to yield fruits In abundance as of old. old.Lot Lot this banquet bo the beginning by the bourd of trade In building an altar and a tcm- Ulo to the goddess , that the people may pros per under her blessings and the lands yield their harvests bountifully.

Wo have not done anything at Lincoln looking toward tlm establishment of a gralu inarkot , but will await the result of the experiment at Omaha. I am afraid that tlio railroads will work to pull the stull through Instead of halting It at Omaha. I bellovo the corn crop will bo larger than that of 1839 , the banner year lu Nebraska. There nro two c.irs of bats whore there never was but ono any pro- vlous year. A. ICooblor , proprietor of an olavator at Geneva Corn will tnako about tlio sumo crop at in 1SS1 . Outs are turning out. about 11 fty buihcts per aero. Wheat wont us high as thIrty-Uvo bushels In some small plci-es mid 110110 lower than seventeen bushels. Flax was a good crop , yielding twelve to eighteen bushels. Wo nro In favor of a grain market at Omaha , and If you have the storage ca pacity there U no doubt but what you will havn a market. J. Jiinsun , president of the state board of agriculture Wo huvo lot nil the space In the state fair grounds , and forty countlo.s will have oxhlblu lu agricultural hull. It Is tbo western con titled that are doing the most , and they will bo represented. More stuff has already boeu entered than was over on dlsplav before. L. K.

With the foreign douiaud such ns It Is I don't sco how wo arc goingto got corn for leu than 30cVo { per bushel. The Interests ot Omaha and the state are Identi cal , and I want to sco Omaha got to the front as n grain center. I shall do nil I can to help build up a craln market nt Omaha. Hov , L. P. Ludden , secretary nnd general manager of the stnto board of roller Wo nro receiving very encouraging reports from the counties where wo soul grain. About tlOO.IKO was expended for seed grain and wo osllnmto from the reports of the county ofllcors that tbo vlcld from this will bring nt least 33,000,000. Thnro were certain parts of this state where It wiw said barley could not bo grown. Wo sent out 21,000 bushals of barley , nnd some counties found n seed deal of fault with us for II. Wo hrtvo received return * from some of the o sections where It has turnca out eighty bushels per aero. Wo have had reports from all the counties , and there was none of the grain sent out by us but what grow. Thu grain market Is to bo a great thing for Omaha nnd tbo state , nnd the grain men speak very well of the prospect. O. W. Wlrt , York , ( has a line of ntuo ele vators on the H. ff M. ) As fur west us the stnto line the crops are Immense. As fine wheat a-t I over saw w.is west of Culborlsou. 1'ho moisture bos been continued nil through the season , nnd It seems as If they must Imvo good crops for the next two years at least. So.ino people huvo peculiar Ideas about thU warehouse law. They think In the country that thu law has made our elevators public ; warehouses , and that it compels us to receive their grain on storage , mid If they are tilled wo must add to tholr capacity. As to the ad vantages to the state of a grain market nt Omr.hu I would say that In seasons past our corn has matured sooner than that grain lu Iowa and Illinois , and If wo could store it in Omuha and sell It as Nebraska corn we could got n cent or two pramlum , wborous If it wont to Uhleano It would bo stored with corn of other states and would go at their prices. H. Turplu , proprietor of the Oakdalo elevator - vator Corn in our section Is spotted nnd oven If wu have no early frosts , there will bo lots of It poor.V e had a ptoco of oats that went nlnoty bushels to the aero , aim winter wheat forty bushels. S. Cotnor , Plckrell Crops very good. Wo Imvo already shipped 30,000 bushels of winter wheat and about half as much oats. Flax Is just commencing to move. The corn crop will bo voty nearly where It was In IBS' ' , ) , the big voar. I think Omalm will tnako a grain market. At leu t I see no reason why it should not. William Leftwlch of St. Louts , senior member of Loftwlch , Ilodklns & Co. Great. town , this , Omalm. I toll you the Omahans are rustlers when they gut started. Never saw a town make as much progress in thu same number of years. This board of trade building Is fine , the exchange room Is n gom. If a town HKO Kansas City can mnko her board n success , 1 don't see why you people can't do thelsame. Hero you arc , living right in the heart of the corn country , a country literally "teeming with milk nnd honey , " Your crops nro the finest I have over seen , nudyour farmers will without doubt have fatter bank Recounts ore the snow ( lies than our tillers of the soil throughout the union. K. W. Morse , of Shenundoah , lu. I am delighted - lighted with Omaha. I think the directors of your boara of trade have used good taste In tbo decoration nnd furnishing of their ex change. True , H is not on a very largo scale now , but all that will como wltn , timo. As far as I can see , JNobrosKa will yield moro grain nnd corn , aero for ncro , than any other stnto lu the union. Her corn crop bids fair to bo something phenomenal. I don't see why Omaha should not bccotno the main market for this woitorn country as she Is already the cattle market. Why our products should bo sent to Chicago for in spection and storage Is an enigma to mo. Wo should and will have a homo matkot and Omaha will naturally secure it. William Grcer , Tnurman , la. Crops in Iowa never were bettor. The farmers nro jubilant ana before mauy moons the men who are the bone nnd slnow of this nation will bo hotter off financially than over before. I boltovo that the exnort demand will bo so great during the coming lull aud winter that It will severely tax the carrying of the rail roads. Dame fortune seems to wear her most wlnsomo smile this year , nnd the corn states are horospoclal favorites. Henry Torpln , Fremont , an extensive ship per This year's crop will bo far heavier than any year yet oven ' 80 , the banner year , will not compare with it. Flax Is running from twelve to eighteen bushels to the ncro , a thing almost hitherto unknown in this state. Our stale fair is going to bo tbo grandest kind of a success , if wo can judge from the fact that all tbo spaoo is rented nuil tbo entries nro very full. Crops around Fre mont are looking fine nnd the farmers are wearing the broad smile of contentment. John F. Marrott , owner of several largo elevators at Wakoilold Corn is line , never saw it bettor. Oats are running from fifty to sixty bushels to the ncro. There will be a boom all along tbo line this fall , mid mon will bo as jubliaut as they are now depressed in spirit. ( Jeorgo H. Slmms , Portsmouth , la. , owns several largo elevators along the B. & M. I am sauguino that the board of trade will become a permanency and a surcess in Omaha. The largo number of grain mon horn today are here to give proof of their bo- llof lu Omaha as a graiu coutor. But it will not bo the work of a day , nor can two or thrco make such an undertaking a success ; capital , bralus nnd pluck will alone make it a reality , and I bellovo Omuha has all thcso in largo quantities. P. O'Honrn ' , Chapman The local board will have many obstacles in the bediming , but 1 believe the men Dohtna this thing will not allow it to fall through. I wish it suc cess. Short Glance nt the History of the As the guests at nn entertainment nro always Interested in the entertainer , for the time being at least , it may not bo out of place to recall a few facts that are now history. The Omaha board of trade was organized In 1877 , Its llrst president bolng A. J. Popplo- ton and its first secretary William Cullen Ih-ynnt Allen. At first the meetings were held In a room of the old Grand Central hotel , located on the site of the present Paxtou hotel. After moving about from ono place to another the board finally built for itself tbo building occupied at present. It has n mem bership at UIO and its membership certificates aru valued ut $500. The board has devoted Its time and surplus funds to tbo welfare of Omaha , nnd hns been the ii' ' on us of many largo business houses mid factories locating hero. It has advertised Omaha and the resources of Nebraska lar and wldo. During the last session of the legislature the officers of the board , in connection with the grain men of the city , worked for the passage of the warehouse act , which finally became n law , believing that it would bo of great advantage to the state of Nebraska. At first the country dla not take much In terest in the net but as Its advantages came to bo understood thu grain mon all over the stuto became as enthusiastic as were those of Omaha. After the passage of the law making It possible to have a grain market within the borders of the state , the grain mon of thn city began to reason that Omaha ought to bo able to build up u grain market In the same way that she had made a llvo stock market. If Omuha had from the Hinull commencement at South Omuha be came the third largest live stock market in the world , could she not also do something with L-ralnl The experiment seemed worth try Ing and the country which had oxperloncod the advantages of a homo market for llvo stock was ready to glvo the scheme a back ing.At At the beginning of .Tuna the grain mon of the city mot and organized the Omaha grain and produce exchange , the object bolug to centralize the business wltti n view to ostnb- llshluc an open board us soon as practicable , Meanwhile the board ot trade bud bocn working with the sumo object In vloiv , and nt once made overture ? to the grain and pro duce exchange to como into the board. ThU result was finally accomplished , the exchange voting on June 4J7 to throw up Us organiza tion nnd Join the board of trado. At the commencement of the present month the grain men of the city moved their omcoa to the ooard of trade building , and the grain interests of the city are now contrullzod , which will facilitate the transaction of busi ness nnd bo great help to the maintenance of an open board , Ho much for the board of trade , Its origin and Its objects ; but the other party to the entertainment occupying with the board of trade the position of lion , must not bo for gotten. The South Omaha llvo stock exchange was organized on January 4 , 18i'.t , and Includes among Its mcmoars all the buyers and sellers of llvo stock operating t South Omahu , also officers ot the stocltyurd's couipauy and others y rt Interested In the stock .business. It Is ono of the most thorough organizations in the stato. In connection with' Chicago , St. Louis and some other market pqluU they Imvo organized n powerful national exchange having for Its object the guarding of the llvo stock interests of the country. ' As a great many stpclc shippers nro nlso grain men It 1s only natural that the South Omaha exchange antf luo Omaha board of trade should work hand in hand to attain any object of Interest to either.

[ Special to TUB BKK. ] Many years ago , whllo Ne braska was standing on the map as n part of the Great American desert , Hon. Bonjamlu Wndo of Ohio prophesied that before the close of the nineteenth century there would not bo nn ncro of good arable land In the United States for sale nt less than $50 per ncro. This was considered then , nnd oven ten years ago , ns Idle n boast as some of George FrancU Train's recent outbursts. About fifteen years ago the land on which Ohio Hill stands was sold for $1.75 per aero , lu "SU Joe scrip. " That was the usual prlco In this vicinity. Since then A. K. Touzulln has sold , In this county , ehoico quarter sec tions tori" ) cents an aero. The land on which llluo Hill stands n prospective county seat Is worth many thousands of dollars. Choice quarters adjoining nnd near IJluo Hill are hold ut $ i" > to $ .VJ per acre , and somn of them nro homos that cimiiot bo bought for that price. Bine Hill Is a very busy llttlo commercial center , contains about 1,000 Inhabitants , nnd Is the trading center of ns line a farming dis trict as there Is In Nebraska. It has a line system of water works , nn elegant brick school house that cost $10.000 and nn ox eel- lout highly graded school. Three very strong banks , with good deposits , mostly farmer's money ; two fine grain elevators the town bolng the second grain snipping station of its al.u ) in the state ; n score of nice brifk store bulldlmrs , nnd nil lines of business are well und fully represented. Bon Wndo's prediction will bo verified with us long before I two. The writer has boon In twenty-four different states and ter ritories , For soil nnd cllmato and nil that makes farming botn profitable nnd pleasant , Nebraska is excelled by none of them. For the prices asked she surpasses thorn all. Blue Hill nnd vicinity can show as good farms and us prosperous nrmors as there nro in the state , yet loss than thirteen years ago the writer could stand ou the top of the now railroad station house nnd see only four frame houses , the est were sod houses and "dug-outs. " I can turn ! on the top of the building I am in and co the grove-hidden bouso of a man who has made over 10,000 farming in tlio lust ton years. Ho can't speak good enough English to make a good "calamity howler" or n fair "alliance" speech , but ho knows how to farm , and has found a good nliico to do It. Ho takes good cans of his farms , his bank stocir and his deposits. Neither the tariff nor the surplus troubles him. Ho docs not .sonm to care a continental about the MclCiu- loy bill or the pensions. Good farms within easy roach of Blue Hill can bo had yet at $12.fjO to $25 per acre. There is not much do- slrablo "raw" land loft. The plows have been too busy. They con toll you at Platts- mouth , Omaha , Lincoln and Hastings what kind of a farming district wo havo. If you want to sco a llvo town , n line country nnd some good farmers got off at Blue Hill.
