Seventeenth Annual Convention of Am

Denver, January 20, 21, 22
To Members and all Live-Stock
Associations and Live-Stock Produc
er: Oall is hereby made for the Sev
enteenth Annual Convention of the
American National Live Stock Asso
ciation, to be held at the Broadway
Tkeatre, Denver, Colorado, January
29, 21 'and 22, 1914, convening at 10
'clock a. m. on Tuesday, January
2.
During the flame week, January 19
24, 1914, the Ninth Annual Western
'Stock Show will be held at the Stad
ium at the Stock Yards, and, in or
der to afford our members and vis
iting stockmen an opportunity to at
tend both our convention and the
stock show. It has been arranged to
hold the sessions of our convention
oaly in the morning on the days in
dicated; but, if necessary to con
clude our business, an affternoon
. session will be held on Thursday,
January 22. This will allow plenty
of time to see the stock show in the
afternoon and the horse show in the
evening.
The week previous to our conven
tion the annual meeting of the Nat
ional Wool-Growers Association will
be held at Salt Lake City, Utah,
January 15, 16 and 17, 1914.
' The new tariff bill, placing live
Mock and -meats on the free list, was
signed October 3, 1913, and went in
to effect on -the following day. We
were able to secure a satisfactory
'amendment, providing for adequate
Inspection of all Imported meats on
substantially the same basis as now
applies to our domestic production.
The effect that free meats and free
live stock will have on ' our home
prices, the world supply of meat
food animate, live-etock conditions In
Vher surplus countries, And the prob
a bit volume of meat import Into
this country, will be thoroughly dis
cussed at our meeting by well-in
formed officials of the government
and representative stockmen.
There has recently been some
complaint from several states that
the rigid enforcement of the regula
tions of the Bureau of Animu' In
dustry on the mange question is
causing an unnecessary expense and
hardship to the stockmen. In order
that the whole mange question and'
Its eradication, and the regulations
f the Bureau of Animal Industry
pertaining thereto, may be thorough
ly discussed by all concerned, a con
ference will be held, at the time -of
our meeting, between the represent
atives of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, the representatives of the
various state sanitary boards of the
West, and a committee from this
Association. All interested stockmen
are Invited to attend and partici
pate in said conference.
Prospects for the passage of : a
land-lease law at the next session of
Congress are brighter than ever be
fore. Many of the -sheep-growers
have heretofore opposed such a law;
now the majority of them favor it.
The unsatisfactory conditions result
ing from the unregulated use of the
open ranges have contributed in no
mn all measure to the decrease . of
live stock in the West. This can
be corrected by a lease law such
this Association has recommended.
Congress seems to have finally awak
ened to a, just appreciation of the
importance of such a law and its
bearing on our future meat supply.
This question and the various land
bills now pending in Congress will
be considered at our meeting.
Officers of tihe Forest Service at
Washington will be present at our
convention to confer with the Nat
ional Advisory Board appointed by
this Association regarding any need
ed changes in the regulations gov
erning grazing on the national forests.-
If any stockmen have com
plaints as to the administration of
grazing on the national forests, they
should arrange to attend our conven
tion and submit their grievance to
the committee of our Association for
proper action. ' . ,
There are many ' other questions
which will come up for consldreaUoiv
at the convention, among them the
following :
Elimination of valuation' clause in
live-stock contracts of railroads;
speed minimum for live1 stock; cases
pending before the Interstate Com
merce Commission Involving" -rates
on live stock; delay iw furnishing
stock oars; railway service; meat-inspection
law; prohibitive tax on ole
omargarine; advance in commission
Charges for sale of live stock; and
many other subjects of national im
portance to the stockmen of the
West. The disoussion of theae
questions will not be confined to
the members of this Association;
any stockmen in attendance will be
allowed to take part.
The committee in charge of ar
rangements for the convention and
the entertainment of visiting stock
men is: A. E. de Rdcqles, George W.
Bal lan tine, James Brennan, Isaac
Baer, Charles Fletcher, Frank C
Goudy, C. A. Gebhard, M. II. Mark,

shows a condition at sea never before pictured by the camera. That the crsw of the sinking vessel ever escaped
at all Is as remarkable as the picture itself. The suction caused by a vessel of such size as was the four-masted
schooner Margery Brown must hars been Indescribable and the photograph gives one but little idea of its force,
as the life-boat (arrow) escaped from Its suction and found itself on the very rim of the vortex, from which peril

miles outside of Sandy Hook that an 80-mlle gale hit the schooner and 36 hours later, Capt Joseph Walker and his

All of the fifty thoroughbred He
stem milch cattle advertised by
Peagins and Courney for sale Sa
urday afternoon at the Course barn
were wold, although the prices re
ceived were not as good as they
should have been principally for the
reason that many who wanted cat
tie of this class did not realize it
until too late.
That there is a demand for 1 this
class of milch cattle Is stiown by -the
fact that there were a number who
asked where they could obtalrn cat
tie of this character. Some who
missed getting any at the sale en
deavored to purchase from those
who were lucky. '
