RESOLUTIONS.
Two resolutions were offered by Mr..
Carey. The first was to the effect that
no member Of the association would bid
less than 81 per head on mavericks. The
other was on the question of the hour
inspection aud assessment. The stipula-
ton most Objectionable to the opposition
was that shippers not members OF the as.
ISOLATION should be assessed so per cent
more than those identified with the asso-
citation. Another feature was that the
resolution did not restrict the levying
power Of the executive committee.
Mr.. Baxter offered a substitute to
Judge Carey's second resolution. 1t
eliminated the Objectionable stipulations OF
the original and added desired provisions.
The discussion on the two resolutions
was earnest and spirited, but quite unlike
a legislative combat at words. The gen
tlemen argued and debated reasonably
and dealt in facts only.
To avoid dissension Mr.. Carey was di-
rected to prepare a composite resolution
embodying points of both. Here is the
result:
ReSotUed, Thai the executive committee
Is hereby instructed to make such al as
Sc jsment, on or before the second Tues

that cattlemep sbould willingly assist the
board financially. The maverick question
was a wholly unfortunate one. The old
custom by which each man wa, given the
unbranded animals on his range was the
best after all.
After the laughter elected when Mr..
Clay referred to a sucking maverick as a

gentlemen expressed his views in the
premises. He was for a sliding scale.
Some mavericks were worth moro than
others. They ranged in age from ''Pollies"
to 3-year-olds and the price sbould be
proportunate to the value.
