In England there are MANY fees 10 be

There is a retaining fee, which Is Il

another without special retainer

MA|ER & BENTON
stOcknen's Meeting.

The Stockmens Union of Southern
rfy meeting at Antelope last Saturday
afternoon, and although the attendance
was not very great, more or less import
snt business was attended to. The I'm
ion passed upon and accepted IS seal ps,
hnd there being about $50 in the treas
hry available for current expenses, all
hut about % were paid for at present.
The remainder will be paid for by No
vember 18th.
~. Taylor was recommended for depu-
+ty stock inspector for Antelope precinct,
and H. w. Cooke for Bakeoven pre-
cinct.
1t being the intention of the Union to
resist all future effort to close up the
Cascade reterve against sheep, a stand
ing committee consistieg of H. G. Roop-
er, E. NJ. Shut and J. L. Hollinghead
was appointed to guard the interests OF
the ssockmen in every way possible, and
to submit reports to the union when
necessary.
Upon a written suggestion of Presi-
dent G. A. Buckley, of the Sherman
county Union, the matter of holding a
stockmen's jubilee at Antelope some
time this fall, for the purpose of cele-
brating the return of good prices, conf
dence and general prosperity were dis
cussed, and 1t was the unanimous sen
timent of the meeting that jolifcation
be held at that place on Thanksgiving
day, the latter part of next month.
Definite action in this matter, how
ever, was deferred until a special meet
ing of the Union to be held on Sunday,
October 10TH, when it is hoped every
member of the organization will be
present.
