"TUls wool market la Omaha has boea
worth $3,000,000 to the wool growers
this year." rrea W. Crooalng, president
of the Betioaal Wool O rowers' associa
tion, BhoahOBl, Idaho.
"The wool market already establish la
Omaha will prove a big lerer la curing
tha loeatloa of the market of tke national
association." Oeorge S. Walker, secre

Accredited representatives of the National
Wool Growers' association, composing a
committee selected to view probable sites
snd decide upon the location of tho national
wool market of the association (being In
vested with power to act) spent Thursday
In Omaha and South Omaha, looking over
the local field and what thla field haa to
offer In the way of advantages. The mem
bers of tho committee arrived In the morn
ing from St. Joseph, Mo., where they In-
epected conditions Wedneeday and left
last night for Chicago on the same mission.
The committee, composed of eight large
wool growers, wss shown every courtesy
during the dsy, tho reception committee
being composed of some more prominent
business men of the two cities. The visit
ors were met at tho train and taken to the
Hotel Rome, their headquarters while in
the city, and then were taken In automo
biles to Inspect the wool warehouse, the
sheep pens In the South Omaha packing
center, through the large Armour packing
plant, and to a six course dinner In the ex-
change building. Following thla they were
lven na ovr oouievara syaiero 10
seversl of tho parks and a hurried trip
through a few of the large wholesale
houses.
Will Get Some Facts.
At 4:30 yesterday the committee met
at the Commercial club, where mem
bers of the local committee presented
facta and figures Intended to convince the
vllstors that Omaha Is the logical place
for the location of the wool market At t
o'clock a banquet was served In the
club rooms and the committeemen left
at 10 o'clock over the Northwestern's
Overland Limited for Chicago.
Fred W. Gooding, president of the Na
tional Wool Growers' association, heads the
delegation, the other members being:
George S. Walker, secretary of the national
association; J. A. Delfelder, president of
the Wyoming Wool Growers' association,
Wolton, Wyo.: N. S. Nellsen, Mt. Pleas
ant, Utah: W. Scott Anderson, Boise,
Idaho; Thomas Austin. Salt Lake City,
Utah; J. E. Cosgrlff. Rawlins, Wyo., and
P. I. Moulo, Bercall. Mont.
The first stop waa made at the wool ware
house at the terminal of the Great Western
tracks. They were shown through the
building, large enough to hold 1,000,000
pounds of wool, with over 1,000,000 pounds
now In storage. President Gooding of the
national assoelstlon expressed his surprise
at the slse of the building and stated that
the building of the local market had meant
$3,000,000 to the wool growers.
Boston Has Had Monopoly,
Heretofore. Boston has had a monopoly
on the- wool business," said President Good
ing. .''About seven firms formed a trust
In the eastern city and controlled. 75 per
cent . of the business. When this little
warehouse waa built those eastern fellows
saw that they must do something or they
would lose their grip, consequently they
befsn boosting the price. Wool was sell
ing for 10 cents, the price Jumped to II, 144,
IS and then IS cents after thla market was
built and ready to receive shipments. The
price of two-thirds of the output was
boosted on the average of S cents a pound.
That la what the Omaha wool market has
done for the producer."
Secretary Walker then told of th ex
perlence of a Wyoming producer. Eait
Lake had offered him IS centa fur his wool,
but he announced his intention of shipping
to Omaha. Rather than let the shipment
com here the Salt Lake firm finally raised
the price to IS cents.
The Omaha Wool Growers' association
has a twenty-five-year lease on two and
one-half acrea of land where Ita warehouse
Is sltusUd, with 1,100 feet of track on either
side. The aaaoclation dffr to turn thl
ovr to th national association providing
the market Is located In Omaha. Chicago
or Bt. Joseph neither have local markets.

From th wool warehouse the visitor
were taken to South Omaha, where they
were met by Everett Buckingham, genetal
manager of th Union Stock Yards com
pany, and ahown through th stock yards,
Closer Inspection waa made of th sheep
pens and the visitors were shown ho

packing plant was th only one visited, but
here Q. W. Bowers, assistant general man
ager; R. E. Harris, sales manager, and J
E. O'Hearn, superintendent, explained the
operatlona of th big system.
Members of th committee expressed
themselves a being more than favorably
Impreased with th conditions as they
found them, but they were guarded In their
remarka and said that they could not give
any Inkling of a decision until they had
visited Chicago, the third city In the race.
The commute will remain In Chicago
until Thursday, when they will meet five

Relocation of Bsgla Hoaao.
The South Omaha Board of Fire and Po
lice Commissioners met In regular session
last night. They found little to do except
to urge the city council to make a needed
Improvement In the fire service In Brown
Psrk by repairing the fire hall and re
moving It to the new site. The council has
heretofore shown little disposition to act
ln the matter. It waa decided by th city
ttorney that bond could not be Issued
for th erection of a new fire hall without
n enabling act of the legislature. So th
board Is now urging that th old hall be re-
aired and relocated so that tha depart
ment may be In a position, to meet the ap
proach of the cold season.
Permission wss granted to Farmer A
'Donnell to locate a temporary wire for
receiving election returna In their hall at
the back of the saloon. The board granted
tho petition, provided the bar of the saloon
close at midnight and that the ownera of
the saloon provide an officer and pay for
Is services after midnight The officer
will see that the bar Is kept closed.

Hearing groans In the house at 4104 North
Twenty-fourth etreet, occupied by C. B.
Crane and family, a neighbor woman en
tered at 1:15 Thursday afternoon and found
Mrs. Crane lying unconscious In one of the
rooms, shot in the left breast, a revolver
lying beside her. The police were at once
notified and tho woman was hurried to
the Central hospital, where she was at
tended by. Dr. C. Impey, who announced
that the wound would probably prove
fatal.
Mr. Crane Is employed by the Farmers
Lumber company and he was at once noti
fied. He can give no explanation of the
deed, which appears to be suicide. -
Mrs. Crane is 38 years of age snd has two
children In school. She told the doctor,
who snived at the hojse first, that a man
shot her, but this is doubted somewhat by
the police for the reason that she wns In
a hospital a short time ago for -mental dis
order. Surprised before he had an opportunity
to obtain anything of value, a bu glar who
had entered the residence of Mrs. A.
Whelan, 1444 North Seventeenth street, by
climbing the front porch and cutting out a
screen window, made his escape through
the cellar door. Mrs. Whelan entered the
house Wednesday night while the burglar
was upstalis ransacking the rooms and the
latter t earing someone down stairs sneaked
Into the cellar and made his escape. Mrs.
Whelan caught a fleeting glimpse of tho
marauder and described him as a tall, siltn
colored man.
