The several COMMITTEES having the affair
In Charge are much encouraged at the pros
pect Of having success of tie proposed
stockmen's meeting at this place Oh the
18th and 10Th of March. The committee on
subscription have raised over three hundred
dollars, and this amount will pc largely in
creased before the meeting. The commit
tee on provisions have not canvassed yet,
but assure us that they will have no trouble
In collecting enough to feed every stock
man in this section for week. And here
we will state that the ladies will not be
called upon to do the amount of cooking
they did last year. They will be asked OH
iy to supply the cakes, pies and nick
nacks. the meat to be cooked by persons
hired TO 10 the work. A whole beef will
be barbecued and as many hogs and sheep
rs will be necessary.
1t has been decided to erect a large tenn
porary structure to be used for the meet
ing, and this also will be- used for the dance
TO be given during the entertainment. Ii
will be so feet long and 30 feet wide, and
will be large enough to accommodate sew
eral hundred people, and there need be no
fear Of it falling, for the floor will be laid
OH the ground.
There is no question now about the meet
ing being success. The stockmen of Bar
bO,T county are strongly in favor of it and
Nlny others in the surrounding country
have indicated their approval of the pro-
posed meeting. Medicine Lodge is geo
graphically situated to be centre for the
live stock business Of the southwest. 1t
is convenient to the Territory and all points
east and west An association formed here
Of the class of stockmen now engaged In
business In this section win be lasting one,
and hence the importance of united effort
to have the proposed meeting start off right.
It Is matter that not only the town is In
terested In, but the entire stock growing
district In this section of the southwest.
Mr.. Stith, chairman OF the committee on
subscription, has furnished us with the fol-
lowing list Of subscriptions made 20 date,

From the Nlmbcr Of Inquiries we have
heard made about bulls even this early IN
the season we conclude that 1t would pay
some one to slip here several Car loads at
no distant day. Good animals will meet
with ready s.le. This would be cheaper than
for each individual to make trip back
east for such animals rs he may need, for
his expenses and the cost or shipping
snnlllots would be considerable. We hope
to hear Of plenty of good servicelble ami
mails coming In here this spring.
