MOUNTAIN STATES
WYOMING MEN COMING.
Big Crowd Will Attend the Livestock
Convention.

CHEYENNE. Wyo., Dec. 15-Arrange-
ments are being made by the stockmen
of wyoming to send a, large delegation
to the annual meeting Of the National
Livestock association, which meets IN
Salt Lake City next month. special
car will be provided for the use OF del
egates- which will start from Chey-
enne Delegates will be picked up en-
route west
The stockmen of this state are tax
ing more than a passing interest in the
coming meeting as number OF mat
ters of vital Importance to them Will
be brought up and discussed. one or
the most important of these is the wolf
bounty question. Wyoming growers
as a. rule favor some united action
upon the part of the stOckmen of the
range states in fighting the pests or the
plains. Already a fight is being waged
against the state appropriating any
more money for wolf bounty purposes,
and the stockmen realize that the time
has come when they must fight the
wolves alone. Stock associations
throughout the state have assessed its
| members and funds have been raised
with which TO pay bounty on wolves
| and coyotes in addition TO the state
bounties, but this plan has not worked
] successfully because some of the mem
! bers would stand back and let the 9TH
! ers put up the money while they re-
/ ceived equal benefits.
! The following plan will probably be
| proposed to the stockmen assembled at
/ Salt Lake by the delegates from Wyo-
ming: That each member of the aSso-
/ citation be assessed so much per head
/ of stock owned by him, said assess
/ ments to go into a general fund from
| which a stated price will be paid for
! each wolf and coyote killed in the sew
/ erai states in the range area, or where
/ the pests are destructive to the live
/ stock interests: that a committee OF
/ board be appointed in each state 10
/ have charge of the collection of the as
sessments and the paying of bOunties
/ the committee to be under the direc-
! ton of the general committee Of the
/ national association.
1t is believed that some such con
! certed action will be of vast benefit T.
the stock interests of the west, anC
that in two or three years the active
| campaign thus waged against the pests
| will result in their complete exterTnina
/ ton.
Indications are that a large number
| Of stOckmen will be accompanied by
/ their families. All look forward to tn
coming meeting with pleasure and be
Iieve that it will be the most success
full of any yet held

.UTAH'S NEXT SENATOR
Representative South Of Rich
Describes the Man.
WANTS No POLITICIAN
BELIEVED THAT MCCORMICK
WOULD SUIT HIN.

Nearly all the Republican members
elect of the lower house of the Iegisla-
ture have received an interesting COM
mUnicatiCn from z. r. South, the new
member from Rich county Although
Mr. South has no desire to pose as a
humorist, doubtless many who read his
epistle to the Phillistines viii be over
come by a desire to smile. Representa-
tive South is reported, with some re
liability, to be in the Mccormick col
umn On account of his close business
relations with George A. Snow, an ar
dent supporter Of the well-known
banker.
Mr.. South starts his communication
by asking support from the member
addressed for a candidate from Rich
county for seTgeant-at-arms of the
house. He describes his mans qualifi-
cations, but Overlooks the little detail
of mentioning his name. He urges this
recognition for Rich because of the
hard work it took T. overcome the
Democratic majority Of one vote which
was received by D. 5. Cook, Democrat
ic candidate for the legislature two
years ago.
Writes About Senatorship.
