adopted by the circuit court was the ap

effect ot penalizing the locality having the
- higher rat ot transportation.

BOOSTERS FAN CIVIC SPARK

Boost! Boost! Boost!

Omaha Commer-Shall
Club! Club! Club!
Only one small word, out of the many
thousand in the English vocabulary, car
rled any weight at the banquet last night
at the Auditorium, and that one small word
was "Boost" Six hundred strong, with a
large delegation of late-comers, the Omaha
Commercial Club Booster sat down to a
banquet, during which every spark of civic
pride In Omaha was fanned Into flam. The
banquet itself waa on colossal "boost."
and more than one "prominent cttlsen"
will go about today with a hoarse voice and
a sore throat a a result of "whoopin'-'er
up for Omaha,"
Primarily the banquet was to arouae to
a still greater pitch ot enthusiasm the
boosting spirit ot Omasa, secondarily, It
was to give the members ot the 1910 trade
excursion an opportunity to show what they
had accomplished. They did so, and they
did it well.
The Boosters' band wa much in evidence.
occupying a stage at the east end of tho
Auditorium. The muslo was the kind that
makes everyone want to sing. Nearly
everyone did, after a fashion. . A the
speakers filed to their seata at the raised
table along the side of the hall the band
pealed forth, but wa nearly drowned out
by a cheer that would have done credit
to a bunch of college lad at a foot ball
game.
Had there been nothing but the dinner,
everyone would have been satisfied. The
menu, which is too long to give in detail,
consisted of everything a hungry man could
wish, from cocktail to cigars. The hall was
decorated mainly with the stars and stripes,
but the banqueter were so busy taking in
what wa going on around them that the
unimportant detail of decorations made lit
tle dlference.
Rev. T. J. Mackay offered the Invocation
at the opening pf the feast. David Cole,
chairman, then Introduced Ward M. Bur
gees, toaatmaster, who was greeted with
"What's the matter with Burgess? He'
all right." Mr. Burgess started the boost
ing by pointing out a few facts on Omaha'
greatness. "From the slae ot this audi
ence," he said, "It is evident that the Com
mercial club has outgrown Its quarters. It
la up to the location committee to get busy
without delay."
Howard H. Baldrlge, ftre speaker, chair
man of the Commercial club executive com
mittee and legal representative of the club
for six years, spoke on "Trade Excursion."
The gathering he described as a tribute to
the Commercial club of Omaha. Mr. Bald
rlge told what a trade excursion was and
went back to the time the idea originated
in Omaha twenty years ago. He told how
the trip was mode to the Pacific coast In
1907, to Colorado In 190S, through Iowa In
1009 and through the Dakotaa In 1910; how
other cities first spoke sarcastically of the
Idea, but later fell In line and started excur
sions of their own; how trade cannot be
successfully built up without friendship and
good-fellowship.
Official Orator Talks.
A. W. Jetferls, official orator for the
Boosters, began by designating Omaha as a
city "la a class by itself." H said: "I
believe there Is no city in the country,
which; although having a greater popula
tion, haa a greater number of men of
patriotic mould and temperament than the
city ot Omaha; men who forget themselves
and work shoulder to shoulder, hand In
hand, for the advancement of the common
cause. While we recognize other states
and look up with pride to the starry ban
ner of our nation, we recognize only one
city Omaha.
W. S. Wright, author of the trade ex
cursion idea, was called upon for a brief
address not down on the program. The
first thing he did was to read a telegram.
blaming It on Chief Yellow Horse, bring
ing greetings from the wilds of Nebraska.
He praised the aggressive, boosting spirit
of Omaha and closed with the plea. "Keep
it going, gentlemen; it' the best thing
you've got. I hope you make the same
record in the next twenty years you have
In the last twenty years."
HoVlng; Picture.
"Life on a Trade Excursion," illustrated
by Louis Bostwlck, was the topto of a dis
cussion by F. I. Elllck. The view showed
Omaha parks, boulevards, railway sta
tions, street scenes, Ak-Sar-Ben military
parade, fire department In action and
numerous views of the Boosters' special
and scenes ot the trip.
Mayor Dahlman was the last speaker, his
subject being "Booetlng." "Wherever a
citizen of Omaha goes," said the mayor,
"he does not feel that he haa to take a
back seat, and always ia willing to sing
the praise of his home town. I am sure
there are many in this audience who are
willing to Join the Commercial club, which
needs the combined efforts of all loyal
citizens to bring the best results. To
those who- are not member I extend An
invitation, on behalf of the club, to send
In applications and become members."
To close the program Frank T. B. Martin
exhibited the moving picture of the 1910
trip.

HltADSlREKT'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Fairly Good Business Booked for Fall
la Clothing;.
NEW YORK, June 25. llradstreet's to
day says:
There has been a little more confidence
In ordering fro.n Jobbers and wholesalers
for fall, but in the northwest tli-re is a
disposition to await a clearer view of the
ctod outlook before adding to the already
good business booked for fall in dry goods
and clothing. Confirmation of the theory
tUut there Is a demand for roods at a price
is found In the lalriy sattsiactory re
sponse In the way of orders to Hie general
induction noted by manufacturers of
Lleaclied cottons and gray kooua this weok.
Iii industrial lines 4here is little evidence
of improvement to be seen. 1 li Iron trude
Is fairly active, but pig Iron is lower and
the trade feeling as to the last hulf ot the
year la hardly aa optimistic as lu the first
six months.
In cotton goods the movement Is still In
the direction of curtailment. Collections
do not show much Improvement. Huslriess
failures in the United Stairs for the week
ending with June 23 were 187. against 178
last week, 223 In the like week of 1M, 238
in I'jUK, 100 in 1U07 and 140 In 1.108.
.Uuninem failures In Canada for the week
number twenty-six, which contrasts with
twenty-seven for last week and thirty in
Hie corresponding week of last year.
