new life? Fellow members, If each one
of us would take an active interest in
the welfare of this association and by
keeping the secretary Informed Of all
matters pertaining to it, as regards its
members, ETC., matters of personal in
terest would be learned at each annual
meeting and the knowledge we would
gain would have tendency to freshen
up our memories, in regards to the old
class and schoolmates as well as those
"reminiscences Of school life so dear to
us all.
Fellow members, may you all take
upon yourselves the duty of keeping
the Alumni association of old Hillhouse
high school in fiourishing condition
by breathing into it the breath OF
new life and giving to it that warmth
of feeling and support that can only
come from love of our alma mater, and
trust in your keeping it will neither
langush nor die.
Respectfully submitted,
"BENJAMIN f. ROWLAND, X

The imported cattle will come from

be shipped into the western Colorado
range country in the spring, and kept
there until fall, and some of them un-
til the next spring and then resold. At
one time Western range cattle did not
command as good price as Southern
cattle, but the feeders have found that
they can get the best and quickest re-
suits with Western range cattle. and
the result is that there is demand for
them. The Western cattle can go TO
