Utah Win be Well Represented
at Fort WePth.
TO BID FOR CONVENTION
EXPECT TO BRING IT HERE
NEXT YEAR.
Arrangements Being Made By Sec
rotary Callister Of the Wool Grow
ers' Association to Secure Ample
Accommodations Tor AL Who De-
sire to Make the Trip.

Local interest in the annual meeting
or the National Livestock association
at Fort Worth, Tex, increases daily,
Is the convention date draws nearer.
The Utah delegation leaves Salt Lake
next Saturday in body and Secretary
Callister, Of rhe Wool Growers asso-
citation, was very busy all day yester-
DAY making reservations for those who
had accepted the appointments made
by his organization. He stated TO a
Herald reporter yesterday that the va
cancies il the delegation due to decil-
nations on account Of sickness ana
other causes were being rapidly filed
by the appointment Of cattle and other
non-menber stOckmen who had signl-
fed a desire TO go. and last night ap-
piicatiOns had been made for ali but
fifteen of the places in the delegation,
which the association bears a portion
Of the expense Of sending.
The coming meeting in Texas prom
ises to be the best attended one ever
held and President Smith and Secretary
CaHister state that il viii be far the
most important TO Utah's livestock IN
terests in the work which win be ac-
cOmplished. The fact that the asSOcia-
ton is FOR the first time gathered to-
gether in a region where cows and
coWmen largely predominant, and
where questions affecting the Interests
of wool and wool growers are not likely
to receive the same favorable consider
alton as in Denver, excites apprehen-
sion on the part Of the officials of west
eru sheep and wool associations, and
these latter are marshaling their
claims for stiff representation in the
convention
Reserve Closing Debate.
For a good portion Of the year 1898
the department order excluded sheep
from forest reserves caused all sorts OF
confusion to the plans of Utah flock
masters and il also knocked down the
price of sheep till every man in the
business was hurt by its banefulneSs.
Its subsequent modification by order
OF the president, IL is claimed. was pro-
cured by the calling OF mass meetings
10 protest against the injustice Of the
action and the cost of sending a special
committee to Washington later to pre-
sent these facts TO the chief executive.
It is expected that the action Of the as
ISOLATION this year viii prevent recur-
renee Of this disturbance as well as eN-
press itself with effect upon other i'm
portant subjects and provide ways and
meant of putting these determinations
into effect
The delegation goes loaded with the
purpose Of bringing the next annual
meeting back TO salt Lake and If 1t is
made as large numerically as the wool
growers are trying 10 build it, its vot-
ing strength in the convention viii be
second only to that Of Texas. The big
fight Utah viii be up against for the
meeting is coming from Chicago, but
Jack White. Jesse Smith and others
say Texas promised it TO Salt Lake last
year, and that Salt Lake viii get it if
she sends after It this time.
The trip promises to be educational
to Utah stOckmen as well as pleasuT-
able and profitable. Secretary Calls
ter says the delegation VIII move in its
own cars, both tourist and regular
sleepers, to fit everybody's purse, and
that dining cars WiU be part Of the
train equipment for delegates who so
unprOvided with lunches.
Many Ladies Going.
And the ladies' are going too. Several
delegates have already reserved spaces
for their wives or daughters who want
TO see the Texan on his native heath, %
as Joe Haywood puts it.
Side trips 10 the port Of Galveston.
san Antonio and the Alamo, Austin
and its S5,000,000 state capitol are among
the excursions planned by Texans for
their visitors and Secretary CallisteT
held forth to delegates on those features
of the coming trip with the facility Of
a professional excursion man.
Representative of all the railway
lines win attend the convention, as well
as the governors delegates and ap-
p0intees Of several county boards. and
the governor, mayor and council viii be
solicited for an assurance OF Utah and
salt Lake's welcome IN the event this
selection is decided upon by the con-
NeutiOn.
