He would do all in his power TO aid ex
Governor Evans in completing this road
in which there is much merit. 1t would
be a good stroke of policy to give moral
support to the resolutions.
After some further remarks, a vote was
taken and the resolution adopted

Atthis point the chair appointed Messrs.
Simpson, Clay and Fisher, a committee to
proceed to Washington to urge and secure

add other names to the committee, should
it be deemed advisable to do so.
EsTRAY BULLS.
The question of taking up estray bulls
in winter was at this point taken up as
deferred business.
Mr.. Teschmacher thought that a ~resolu
ton like this could not reach the trouble
ONE subject.
MIR. Irvine did not regardi it advisable to
pass any resolution which the convention
would be unable to carry out.
Colonel Rabbit thought a great deal of
reform is necessary in this particular
direction.
The resolution, MS amended, was adopted
to the effect that stockgrowers should take
their bulls out of the herds and Sed them
during the winter SO far as p~racsoable.
A committee of five to carry out thes
provisions was appointed, and also to
report at next meeting suggestions relative
thereto from experiences gained.
The following gentlemen were named
by the chair: Messrs. Haygood, Quealy,
Goodell, Hurd and Magee.
AN EFFICIENT OFFICER.

assistance rendered to every stockgrower
in Wyoming by the Hon. +. NJ. Canton,

this point relative to the endorsement of a
particular patent car-coupler and truck for
the better carrying of cattle. 1t was
finally decided to take no further definite
action, but to let members endorse it
individually. -,7,V

On motion of Col. Babbitt, it was re-
solved that the association issue a brand
book for 1884.

posed towards schemes from abroad in
the way Of endorsement, he hoped hat it
would place itself on record as in favor of
the Wyoming Developing Company.
