 The secretary of this convention is in- structed to correspond with the Mana- ger of the TWenty-four Cattle Company and ascertain their views of the work on their ranges, and inform all parties here who may be interested.
 As to the matter of permanent organ ization, yonr committe beg leave to sub- init the following:
 That it seems quite necessary for the best interest of all stock owners, thst some tangible organization should be effected which, without being too expen- sive, or too rigid and difficult of obser- vance, would insure better unity of ac- tion and a more neighborly interest in all ways. We, therefore, submit for your consideration the following as our ideas of the rules necessary to govern the proposed association:
 1st. That we form an organization to be called the Colorado and Puerco River Stock Association.
 2d. That its members shall consist of all cattle men present who shall signify their willingness to join It, and all other stockmen who may make application to join and be properly accepted.
 Sd. That no admission fee or assess ment shall be charged any member.
 4th. That the association shall hold a meeting on or about March 25th of each year, at which time il e members shall select one of their number to serve as President of the Association, one to serve as Secretary, and five as an Exec utiye Committee, all of whom shall be elected for one year.
 5th. The President shall have author ity to call special meetings of the asso- c;ation, whenever he considers it advisa ble; shall preside at all meetings, and perform such other duties as usually de- yolve upon presiding officers.
 9th. The Secretary shall keep all rec ords and minutes of the Association, and attend to all of their correspondence
 Eth, The Executive Committee shall meet as often as they think necessary, and shall have authority to arrange all matters of business affecting the inter- ests of the Association, that may arise from time to time, and which shall ap- pear of too little importance to warrant the calling of full meeting.
 Sth. All who join this Association are expected to pledge themselves to assist, and to protect each others property in all ways, and especially to brand all calves upon their respective ranges, and so far as possible to work all estrayed animals towards the range of their own CTS; to discountenance all crooked and unneighborly work af all kinds, and in all ways to use their best endeavors to secure the rightful possession and own- ership of all stock and property.
