land to cattle men for grazing purposes.
His address was thoughtful, earnest and
foreeful, and was well received.
Secretary W. T. Bolton in his report for
the past year, made a number of inter
estfng points The principal topic which
he brought up for discussion was that Of
the recent action OF the territorial legis-
lature in placing Washita and Greer coun-
ties below the quarantine lines. Mr.. Boil
ton insisted that this action could not
but result IN great damage TO the cattle
industry in these two counties and urged
that the law be repealed at once.
He was. he stated, very much in favor
Of having a distinct live stock sanitary
board organized in the territory, and that
only practical cattlemen be appointed
thereon. Under the present system, the
officers of the state agricultural college
are ex-officio members of that board, al
though many have no experience in the
cattle business whatever.

greater efficiency be required of the in
spectors and that they be employed on
full time, as the association is now in
good financial condition. The Oklahoma
Live Stock association, Mr.. Bolton stated,
was the second largest organization Of
its kind, having q membership Of about
800, which the Texas association alone
exceeds
The election Of officers of the associa-
ton occasioned but little interest, as the
old officers had made such good record
that it was conceded that the majority
at least would be reelected without op-
position. This proved to be the case. only
a second ce-president being newly elect
ed The officers selected were: Albert I.
Wilson, Kiowa, president; NJ. F. Word,
grand, first vice president; j. A Slime,
Alva, second yice-president; w. E. Boil
ton, Woodward, secretary; ]. J. Gerlaek,
Woodward, treasurer.
An invitation was received from the
Texas Cattle Raisers' association to at
tend the meeting of the association In
Fort Worth, March 10 and H. This asso-
citation is the largest Of the kind in the
world, and represents an invested CAPT
tai of millions of dollars. 1t Is expected
that the meeting will be the largest gath
ering Of cattlemen in the history of the
world. as fully 5000 cattlemen are ex-
pected to attend. In connection with the
meeting there viii be a fat-stock show,
for which premiums amounting to $4,000,
have been offered, which were donated
by the principal five cattle associations OF
the world.
