The meeting reconvened on We'd
nesday morniI g at l0:45. The round.
up committee were first called upon
to report, but were not ready and
asked furtherer time, which was
granted. On motion of ]. J. Thomp.
son a committee Of five was appointed
to nominate officers for the ensuing
year, and Messrs. Poindexter, Thomp-
son, Floweree, Fratt and Holt were
named as such committee. On motion
committee Of two was appointed to

ship reported favorably On the applica-

alton.
Pending other business Pres't Scott
called upon the representatives Of tie
different palace stock cars who were
present TO address the meeting and
explain the advantages of their cars
Under this invitation Messrs. Ripley.
of the Ripley Car Co., and Jones of the
Street Car Co., were heard from at
length. Each OF the representatives
Of course sought to show that his car
was the best, but the weight Of argu-
ment appeared to lie on the side Of the
Ripley car, from the fact that the eNorth-
ern Pacific road hsu, as Mr.. Ripley
stated, expressed willingness to tuild
for its own use 500 Of the Ripley cars,
providing that the Montana stockmen
approved of the car and were satisfied
to use 1t in preference to any other
palace car. The Street car, although
a very desirable car for shipping stock,
was owned by private corporation to
whom all roads using the car had to
pay mileage, which Of course was q
charge on the shipper In addition to
freight, but II the Ripley car, offering
nearly the same advantages, could be
owned by the road over which ship
ments were made, the charge to ship
pers would be no greater than for Or
dinary stock cars, save pro rata in
crease for the additional length of the
new car over the old. This was the
gist Of the argument presented by Mr.,
Ripley and not very effectually con-
troverted by Mr.. Jones, Of the Street
car company. Something more thar
an hour was consumed In listening Il
the statements of the two gentlemen
named In behalf Of their cars, wheI
on motion Of Granville Stuart the mat
ter was referred TO committee o
three, who were to examine into th
merits Of the two cars during the nool
recess and report on the same In th
afternoon. The chair named as sucl
committee Messrs. Bustor, Holt an,
, Ryan. Mr.. Buster stated that be be
leved the merits OF such cars wer
more apparent on long hauls than o
shorter ones, and for that reason
asked that the committee be enlarge
by two more members, to be selecte
from the western portion of the terri
tory. whose stock was subjected TO tn
longest haul to market. The sugges
tion taking the shape Of . motion,
was carried and the chair added TO th
committee Messrs. Floweree and Poir
dexter. AT this point u telegram ws
