A Convention
Of CattIen1en.

The remarkable growth of the live
stock industry in the west in the last
year or two and the great influx OF cat
tie buyers and sellers to Denver with
in the last few months led some time
ago to the calling of a national conven-
tion of stock growers in Denver for Jan.
%, IS and 81. Invitations were sent,
through the governors Of the various
states and territories. TO live stock or
ganizations everywhere. and the re-
sponses received indicate one of the
larges. conventions of the character
ever held in the west. There doubtless
will be 5000 cattle and sheep men in at
tendance, and the results are expected
to be farreaching.
Denver has assumed within the last
year an Importance in live stock affairs
as surprising as unexpected. At one
time Denver was famous because OF her
cattle kings and queens, but there was a
slump in the cattle business. then a big
rush TO get out OF it. which resulted In
the industry being considered a poor in
vestment. The great ranges OF the
west, where hundreds OF thousands OF
cattle had been graZed for the markets
Of the east were surrendered to strug
Cling farmers, who sought to make
living from soil which made good grass
but poor corn. Ten or u years ago the
crash came and up 10 1895 little interest
was taken i'm the business. Since that
time the cattle business has been i'm
proving and is again one of the great
industries Of the west. But new condi-
tions have arisen. new problems face the
cattlemen which must be solved. and
the business must be conducted upon an
entirely different basis from what II
was 10 or IL years ago.
Among the most important Of the new
changes that have come about and now
confront the csttleman is the necessity
OF having a point where the breeder and
feeder can meet and transact business.
This cattle exchange must be some
y here near the breeding and the feeding
districts. and Denver is peculiarly fitted
to carry on that trade. This is because
OF the fact that the best breeding Sec
ton Of the country is il Texas. New
Mexico and Arizona. and the best feed
ing section is in the grazing states OF
Montana. Wyoming and Nebraska and
farther east in the corn states ot iowa
Missouri and Kansas. Between these
extremes the cattlemen must find some
place 20 meet and transact business.
The result has been that Denver. being
the geographical and railroad center q
the west. has found her live stock busi-
ness increasing by leaps and bounds.
The business q the local yards has been
growing rapidly for three years and
this years will show double the number
o. cattle handled In any previous year.

asked Mr.. Bayard what. in his judg-
ment. should be the salaries paid to our
representatives in London. Paris and
other important capitals where the pres
ent salary is 81, 900 or less.
That would depend somewhat on
conditions he said. but should say
in general about double what is paid
now. OF course if a man had several
fashionable and expensive daughters or
an extravagant wife"-a smile twitched
the corners of Mr.. Bayard's mouth
that would make a great difference.
But 1 doubt if the salaries al important

WbenIwas practicing my profession my

For the president of the United

In the case of our ambassadors the
