STOCK GROWERS.
The Meeting of Their Association
Yesterday.
What Was Done-The New Officers
Lots of Fun.

1t is extremely doubtful whether in
the history Of Wyoming territory a
more intelligent and respectable body
of men every assembled together in any
one room than hat which composed
the gathering Of the members of the
"Stock Growers association of Wyom-
ing Territory" ut the court room on
yesterday. Each and every member
present appeared in a three-fold charac-
ter-the representative Of the brains of
the territory, its practical interests, and
the wealth.
The only proper tribute which we can
pay to this meeting Is to simply give to
our readers an account OF what was
done.
The meeting was called to order at
10 a. m. by Hon. Thomas Sturgis, sec
rotary Of the association, ana in the
absence of both the president and vice
president 1t was organized by the cleo
ton of Hon. j. NJ. Carey as temporary
president.
On the call Of the roll ffty-three
members were found to be present.
Twenty four members we're subsequent
ly admitted 10y proxy. They were ad.
mltted by virtue Of II report submitted
from the committee on bylaws, to
whom the matter had been referred
and which report was on motion unani-
mously adopted.
On motion Mr.. A. G. Halliwell, the
press representative Of the Drovers'
Journal, was invited to a seat within
the railway.
The committee which was appointed
on proxies consisted of Messrs. Adams,
p Brown and Davis.
The reading Of the minutes of the
, last session failed to show anything OBJ
, jrctional and they were of course
promptly approved.
After the reading of the minutes and
before any other business of n i'm.
portance was transacted a large num-
, Der of names we're presented for mem
bership. On motion three different
committees we're appointed to consider
the applications. There were ffty-nlne
in all and with n exception the appli-
cants were received. The exception as
u we were informed, was in the case of a
y gentlemen who has nov gone out of
the stock business.
J The final action in this matter was
taken on the motions of Messrs. Reel,
Jenkins and Warren, as their several
= reports were reported from the commit.
tees of which they were chairmen.
Z The new members were really elected
by the casting Of a ballot by the secre-
; tary, which he was instructed to do by
a vote of the meeting.
: Hon. Thos. Sturgis, secretary of the
association, at this point informally no.
, titled the newly elected members of the
; association that they must furnish to
the secretary at once a cut or descrip.
, tion of their brands, in order that they
AS well as the interests Ct the associa-
: ton may be protected.
On motion of Mr.. Sturgis the regu.
lar order of business was temporarily
, dispensed with for the purpose of re.
= ceiving the regular annual reports of
the officers of the association.
, Mr.. Sturgis Immediately thereafter
= introduced and had passed a resolution
5 in regard to the appointment of a
roundup committee.
In presenting his resolution be sug-
! gested that there were to be or should
, BIZ proper representation, and the result
was that a committee of three from
each round up district was appointed

( the ensuing round ups.

We might as we'll stats here as at any
other place that by the action Of the
association yesterday in receiving into
its membership parties from all the
counties of this territory except Sweet
water, the association now has under
its guardianship nearly all Of the terri
tory Of Wyoming as we'll as a large por.
tion OF Western Nebraska.
Several independent committees were
appointed also for localities where it is
now supposed that arrangements will
have to be made for round-ups not as
yet contemplated by the association.
