DR.. Faust'S Organizing Work
in Utah County.
STRONG ONE IN PROVO.
The Stock Men are Making Good
Progress Toward Protection
from Thieves.

H. ]. Faust, vice-president of the Utah
Association, General R. T. Burton and
John Q. Cannon, Esq.
The meeting was called TO order, and
on motion of Mr.. ]. C. Graham, Mr.. J.
E. Booth was elected chairman.
On motion of Mr. I. Bullock, Mr.. j.
c. Graham was elected secretary.
The chairman briefly stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting. At the conclusion
of his remarks,
DR.. Faust was called for, and that gen
tleman responded. He said he had not
come here to assist in the organization
of the proposed association by special in
Struction or authority from any cOnYen-
ton, but to advise and urge co-Opera-
ton among the cattle and horse nen of
the county for the purpose of protection
and development of the stock interests.
| He referred in an interesting manner to
| the work done in the st. Louis Conven-
| ton by the Utah delegation. The leav-
| ing out of Utah and Idaho from the
| proposed movement 10 monopOliZe the
public lands in the interest of extensive
stock men, was an important undertak-
ing, and this had been done by dint of
hard work by the Utah and Idaho del
egates. Such a scheme was readily seen
to be opposed to the best interests of our
Territory; small stock growers would be
placed at the mercy of the larger and
wealthier classes of cattle and horse
growers. This action has. since the re-
turn home of the delegation, been de-
nounced by the class referred to, though
in NOiv,f of ha-c fhavr do nynanH
more than half dozen. The people of
Utah need protection not only against
cattle thieves but also against the
"bloated monOpolist," who is able to
take care of himself.
The speaker showed the advantages of
raising improved stock. We are ship
ping out annually 10000 cattle for which
we get only 5000 900 instead of two mil
lions of dollars. More attention should
be paid TO breeding of stock, and all
should go to work to raise none but the
best and most saleable, however small
the business of growing may be. An
arrangement will be made for the keep
ing of record of pedigrees.
Cooperation in purchases of full
blOOded stock from the east, where peO-
pie, individually, cannot of themselves
accomplish such purchases, was ad
in his own experience which showed the
utility and proftableness of the CO.
operative method. One great object in
thus organizing as a county association
was protection against the everlasting
thief. This is step which concerned
all citiZenS-MOrmOnS, Jews and Gen
tiles; all should combine in project of
this kind. Another object was to com
bine and cooperate in the establish
ment of ranches, the raising Of improved
stock and ceaSing the culture of scrubs
The third object was that when the
next national convention shall meet
Utah will be represented by good
men and recognized as a power, and
when a public steal shall be at
tempted we can sit down ON it.
General Burton addressed the meet
ing and spoke in similar strain. He
rendered some excellent advice to farm
erS as well as stOckmen. We are re-
creant, he said, to our interests when
we continue to labor like slaves for the
production of inferior articles. We
should use the intellect God has en-
dowed us with. as we'll as the vast re-
sources at our command by means of
soil and climate, in seeking TO produce
nothing bnt the best of everything. Our
opportunities are greater than they
were, and we should put them to
good account; circumstances necesSi-
tate the pursuit of different methods in
our farm and stock producing indus
tries.
Mr.. John Q. Cannon was called for
and approved of the suggestions made
by the former speakers. The proposed
organization would be particularly
beneficial to the smaller growers.
DR.. Faust moved that the meeting
