MILES CITY, April 1.-THE hotels and
lodging houses are being gradually filled
with visitors, who come to attend the cat
nemen's convention to begin Monday. The
obbies of the hotels are filled with stock
owners from different sections of the terri
Sory who get together and talk about mat
ers to be brought up before the convention
Tor discussion. All acknowledge that this
will be the greatest convention That mas
over been held in the territory, and Its IN
lugural ceremonies are awaited with I'M
patience. Representatives of the different
trunk lines running between st. Paul and
Minneapolis and Chicago are present,
policiting business for the season, but few
contracts are being made at present. All
the railway representatives are not here yet.
Presidents, general managers, general traf-
nc managers and general freight agents OF
many of the lines will be present. and
MORE CAPITAL WILL BE REPRESENTED
at this than any other stock meeting that
was ever held. 1t was estimated that 400
people would attend, but it is generally be-
lieved that this estimate is minimum one,
and that fully 500 people will visit this city.
Everyone who has bed to spare is ar
ranging for someone's comfort, and extra
space. The first business of the meeting
will be the receiving of the reports of Off
GERS, of the secretary and treasurer. The
secretary will report on the business done
by the association during the past year. He
will give a report of the Strays returned to
owners and may possibly have some refer
ence in his report to the arrests that have
been made by the stock inspector during
the past year. After these reports the OIL
GERS will be elected for the ensuing year,
and an executive committee and branding
committees appointed. Districts for round
ups will be designated, and a captain for
the roundup will be elected. Col. Bryan,
president of the association, was asked his
opinion regarding the establishing of
LIVE STOCK MARKET
at st. Paul, and said that the matter had been
discussed before, though no action had been
taken. Stock men, he said, would be glad
to have market at St. Paul, and they
would derive great benefit from it. They
could sell there to better advantage than to
ship further east. A great many cattle are
sold there now; hardly train of cattle
goes through without some being sold. but
a regular livestock market would better
matters. A large proportion of the beef
from Montana goes to the pineries in
NOrUneTn minnesota anu OaKOta. IL uOeS
not go direct first being handled at Chicago.
If there was live stock market established
at st. Paul the meat would go to the
pineries from there, and at lower rate.
Much time will be consumed during the
meeting in discussing matters of general
interest to the stock men. and some matters
will be brought up which cannot be made
public at the present time.
