MILES CITY, Mont, April 2O.-The
president called the meeting to order at
10:45 a. IN. Capt. Harmon, on behalf of
the officers at Ft. KeOgh, invited the asso-
citation to the fort to witness the drill in the
evening. The secretary read letters relat-

The association decided not 10 join the as
sociation organized at Denver in January
last for mutual protection of range
stock growers in matters most vital
TO their interests. 1t lacks the
formal cooperation of the range
growers of Montana, although it is be-
lieved the majority of the individual men,
bers of the Montana association are in
favor of the Denver movement and its pur

otherwise, but for some reason as YET uneX-
pressed their af1iliation with the movement
has not been secured. In the record OF

is the fear of eXorbitant assessments that
prevents the Montana association from join
ing the Denver movement. Reports Of COM
mittees were heard, and subcommittee on
unfair ownership OF culls on ranges was
appointed, the matter being referred TO
