Fight for Next Convention.
The contest over the place for hold
ing th7 convention Of the association
IN lSo< gives promise Of being as inter-
esllIis as me debates against state in
specuOn, the proposed oIeOmaTgarine
DlI or the arid lanC question.
Already there are half dozen can
didates Tor this honor. AT the conven-
ton at Fort Worth last January Chi
caEo, Kansas City, St. Joseph and salt
Lake were the leading cities in the
contest, and the campaign became
very animated. So lar Kansas City,
buhaio, \. Y; Helena, Mont; Chicago,
OECdha. Ut. Joseph and St. Louis are
the candidates, Wnile Denver would not
OBJECT TO taxing care OF the big meet
ING Il offered 20 her. Kansas City,
Omaha, Chicago, st. Joseph and st.
Louis, in inviting the convention, will
lay particular stress upon being the
greatest livestock market in the
Grid and of easy distance from al
paris OF the Union. In addition to this,
Kansas city viii offer as a side at
traction one OF the greatest cOmbina-
IiOn sales OF pure bred livestock ever
held ia America. Chicago will repeat
her international Livestock exposition.
Omaha and st. Joseph viii give fine
STOCK shows with variety OF high
class Entertainments. Denver may OF
fer to repeat the famous barbecue of
1888. If this is done +. II. Grub or
CarbOndale has offered to provide from
his Mount SOpriS ranch free for the
occasion one carload Of elk, deer, bear,
mountain sheep and VeuisOn and one
carload Of Eard cider.
The Pan-American congress viii be
in progress at Buffalo, y. Y, next year,
and besides this, ii is one OF the great
est eastern markets. She viii make
the argument that the convention never
has been held in the far east and no
better place can be selected than Bur
faIO on this occasion, when stOckmen
from all over the world Will be there.
Entertainment cf Visitors.
There seems to be a slight lack OF
information among stOckmen in remote
districts as TO the entertainment that
viii be provided Tor visitors who come
20 Salt Lake City for the convention.
The following letter from J. g Hys-
song, a prominent stCctman of Canon
city. Colo, is one Of these letters OF
inquiry;
Dear Sir-There are several stock
men from here figuring on attending
the fourth annual convention of the
National Livestock association who
would like some information in regards
TO what privileges the visitors viii get
at the different entertainments the peO-
pie of Salt Lake expect TO give the Wis
itOrs. AS you know, it is impossible
fCr al to so as delegates, but when
there we do not feel like being left out
from our party. Any information you
can give me viii be kindly received"
Mr.. Leary, chairman Of the arrange
mentg committee, and J. {. AIaCka.'
chairman of the entertainment com
mittee. have replied to all these letters
to the effect that so far as the enter
tainments provided by the citizens are
concerned, all visitors will have the
same entire as the delegates. The only
distinction that viii be made will be in
the seats occupied in the convention
hall during the sessions of the COnVen-
ton. On these occasions all the seats
on the lower floor will be reserved for
delegates only. but the upper floor viii
be open 10 visitors. These committees
desire this information circulated as
widely as possible
Another important matter which per-
sons desiring to attend the convention
should not overlook is the necessity of
