STOCKMEN'S CONVENTION
Great 4th of July Celebration-Race Meet
THREE BIG DAYS AT ALLIANCE, NEB., JULY 4, 5 AND 6
Great preparations are being made
for the annual convention of the Ne
braska Stock-Growers' Association,
the grand Fourth of July celebration
and the big race meet of northwest
ern Nebraska, at Alliance, July 4th,
6th and 6th. The Stockmen's Con
vention is the big annual event of
western Nebraska, and of course will
bring more people from a distance
to this city than the race meet and
4th of July celebration, but the last
named will attract many people
from this part of the state.
Of the visitors from abroad none
will receive a more hearty welcome
than the South Omaha bunch, of
whom there will be quite a number.
Lloyd C. Thomas recently visited
South Omaha and interviewed a num
ber of the commission men there,
and found them enthusiastic over
their prospective trip to this part of
the state. The following letter from
the secretary of the South Omaha
Live Stock Exchange Indicates the
sentiment down there:
South Omaha, Neb., June 19, 1911.
Mr. Lloyd C. Thomas,
Alliance Herald,
Alliance, Nebraska.
Dear Sir:
It is the Intention of the live stock
interests at this point to again visit
Alliance upon the occasion of their
next stock meetin which, we under
stand, is to be held July 4th, 5th
and 6th.
Our people always look forward
with a great deal of pleasure to this
annual trip to Alliance. It gives us
a chance to learn of live stock con
ditions, the prospects for fall ship
ments, the probable time that live
stock will commence to move to mar
ket and a better insight all-round
concerning conditions in that part of
the State which we have learned to
depend upon for some of our best
cattle marketed at South Omuha.
The reputation of Sand Hill cattle
throughout the corn belt Is not ex
celled by any other territory we
know of. When one stops to think
of the market toppers and show cat
tle which have been raised in your
country It makes us wonder just
what there Is In your feed and cli
mate which does not exist to so
large an extent in many other places.
When a salesman on this or any
other market can say to a prospect
ive purchaser, "These are Sand Hill
cattle" he has told the whole story.
We hope to have with us on our
trip this year at least a carload of
our people. Kveryone in the buncli
will be an active booster. We sort
them for that qualification before we
leave home. Every man in the party
will want to meet all of his old
friends and make as many new ones
as possible.
Hoping that your race meet will
be a sun-ess and that the stock
meeting will be largely attended, I
am
Yours very truly,
A. K. STRYKER.
Secretary.
There is always a feeling of mu
tual interest between Nebraska's big
"Market Town" and this great stock
country, and especially at this time
of the year when their representa
tives come together In the annual
convention.
In order to accomodate the demand
for space In The Herald this week,
we are printing twelve pages Instead
of the usual eight pages. Next week
we will print sixteen pages, and will
give our thousands of readers an il
lustrated write-up of the South Oma
ha stock yards, etc., which will be
of special interest to farmers and
ranchmen, and business men who de
pend upon them for trade.
