spected would enter the state of Colorado,
and thought the arrangements made were
amply sufficient to guard against the I'M
portation of Texas fever.
DIR. HoLcoMBE's EXPERIENCES.
DR.. Holcombe, state veterinarian, said
that it would be better for the ASSOCIATION
to make ARRANGEMENTS to have an IN
spector stationed at Cheyenne, as the
Santa Fe have not as yet agreed to the
scheme of the Pan Handle road in regard
to shipping cattle. The scheme is to
have an Inspector stationed on the SaIta
Fe and one at Fort Worth and to have
the owner OF the cattle, before loading.
render a certificate, vouched for by two
responsible citizens, who are guaranteed
to be responsible by the clerk Ut the
county IRON which the cattle came, that
the cattle are not from any fever infected
district. The inspector on the Santa Fe
will probably be stationed at Santa Fe, as
he will there be able to inspect New
Mexico cattle and Arizona cattle as well.
The inspector on the Fort Worth road
will be at liberty to travel up aud down
whenever he may be called. The cattle
coming up By the trail will be few in
number and will be inspected at the old
place, the Point of Rocks, and as they
will pass quickly, but little time will be
required to look at them.

The only change made from last year is

the live stock board, was naturally chosen
in his place.

BRANDING CALVES.
Mr.. Kendrick, of Sheridan county, in
troduced a resolution binding each mem
Der of the association to pay fifty cents
per head for the branding OF all calves
found on their ranges. Heretofore some
of the outfits have been branding only
their own calves, letting the calves OF all
other outfits 20. 1t was the object of the
motion to get the calves branded while
they were with their mothers and away
from their own rAnge. This resolution
had few friends and many opponents who
thought it would have a tendency to keep
the small outfits at home and to let the
big outfits brand the calves at a loss to
themselves. 1t might also happen that
some of the round-ups would brand the
calves when the owner was preparing to
do the work himself. The motion was
defeated.
A committee consisting of the presi-
dent, the vice president and Mr.. Tesche-
macher was appointed to draw up resolp-
tons of respect to the memory of former
members of the association, Mr.. Phil
Dater and Mr.. F. Ernest.
