Wool Growers Organize.

A committee of three wool growers from each of the counties of COconinO, Navajo, and Apache met at HOlbrook July, 20 for the purpose of organizing and incorporating Territorial Wool Growers Association. There were present many prominent sheep breeders beside those named as dele gates. The meeting was one of the most harmonious and businesslike ever held in the Territory. There seemed to be but one opinion and purpose actuating each and all.
 The plan of organization was readily agreed upon and articles of incorpora- tion drawn up and signed, by which the sheep grazing districts of Arizona are organized into one association, with two coordinate divisions, one comprising Apache and Navajo counties, and and the Black Mesa For est Reserve and sheep grazing districts south thereof, to be known as the Eastern division: the other comprising COconino county and the sheep grazing districts west and south thereof, known as the Western division.
 All present seemed to fully appreci- ate the importance and necessity of a united effort upon the wool grOcers to weed out whatever practices may be found upon the range that threatens the prosperity of the business of the honest and legitimate wool grower, and especially to secure from each and every wool grower upon the several Forest Reserves, an earnest and ener- getic cooperation with the government in the protection of such forests. All present went away highly pleased with the result of the meeting.
 The Eastern Division will meet at St. Johns on July, 5l and the Western Division will meet at Flagstaff on August the first to perfect the organ
